vAGARIEs OF WEIGHT.
How Can a Pound of Food Make One
Three Pounds Heavier?

How Can a Pound of Food Make One
Three Pounds Heavier?
Here are two personal experiences
Of my own that are equally striking.
After having put on rather too much
weight, probably through excess and
other mistakes of food and drink, |
played a severe tennis match and lost
seven pounds In weight. Then | took
a glass of wine and at once by this
put on two pounds. Then | took a
meal slightly larger than usual and
put on another two and half pounds,
though the meal itself weighed only
one pound.
On another occasion when had
tasted for day or two and had natu-
rally lost two or three pounds day
ate a meal weighing about one pound
and went up in weight not one pound.
but three pounds.
How can only one pound in food
add three pounds in weight?
How. in the case of other people,
can three pounds-a days food and
drink-add nothing at all?
In my own case one principle ap-
pears, and this is that my nature is
at any rate rapid in getting toward the
normal, but comparatively slow in get
ting far below or far above the nor
NAL.
A not uncommon but very striking
phenomenon is that Of the shampooer
In Turkish bath in London. He finds
that after his days work, which in
wolves copious sweating and hard
physical exercise and scarcely any
thing to eat or drink, he goes up in
weight some two or three pounds mere

Though frequently hard up, Whis-

princely to students who lived on moth

his pockets, Mr.. Ionides says, he spent
It royalty on others. If his pockets
were empty, he managed to refill them
in a way that still amazes M. Ouleyey,

FIG. xI-CUTTING A HEAVY GROWTH OF
ALFALFA.
later or disked up in the spring. They
are often sown in cornfields during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil.
Because of the fact that other crops
make SO much better growth after the
field has grown legume for year or
SO 1t is important that crop Of clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally. If plan Of rotation is ar
ranged so that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another, so
much the better 1t has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
er year on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds of
food that certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous. If another kind Of
plant is substituted, other elements of
plant food will be drawn upon. the in
sects will be starved out and the chang
ed methods of soil treatment Will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly in their ability to
get food from the soil Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from a soil
on which more tender plants would
starve Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the humus supply rapidly, since the
constant stirring of the soil hastens de-
cay. Oats, on the other hand, take
comparatively little humus from the
soil.
These differences may be largely
equalized by consistent system OF. ro-
should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
condition in which the soil was left By
the preceding crop. The starting point
Of every rotation should be clover or
some other legume. The length of time
that a field should be left in to such a
crop depends largely on local condi
lions. In the east, where alfalfa seed
is high and the difficulties of obtaining
a stand great, it is usually wise not to
pillow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years;
hence if not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded. In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any one crop.
Since clover is grown with small
grain the first year, this means only
one year In which it will be the sole
crop. If the second crop of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably acking
in humus, this work had better be
done in the fall, so that the mass of
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop is planted.
If the soil has been properly cared for.
however, this green manuring viii be
unnecessary. AS a general rule it is
more profitable to feed the hay or
grass tosstock and return the manure
to the land. In this way from so to
80 per cent as much plant food is
added as would have been if the crop
had been plowed under. and at the
same time the stock has had the bene-
fit of the extra feed. When only the
stubble is to be turned under, the
blowing may be done either In late
fall or early spring.

The Poverty Ridden.

Was there ever a more heartbreak-
ing problem than that Of being poor
and yet looking prosperous? Far bet
ter were diet of potatoes and cab
bage soup and a pair Of leather
breeches of the vintage of 1858 And
that is one great reason why the coun7
try-be it in Galway or Cattaraugus or
Posey county-is a better place to be
poor in than the city. A man is a
man there, even If blue drilling jump
ers are his best.
Barring a condition Of actual, grip
ing want-from which may God save
all who were made In his image-there
are no people In the world so fortunate
as those who have made up their mind
to be poor and happy together. Nor
is there anywhere man so cursed as
he who can no longer live In the sim
pie society In which he was born and

Ely Central to
Car Of Ore
This Week

Ely Central will send out the hrst
carload of ore from its property to
the Salt Lake smeiters On Thursday.
Loading of the car was commenced
yesterday morning, the car being
sidetracked a short distance from the
Clipper claim of the Ely Central,
from where the shipment is being
made.
An average sample of the ore to
be shipped was taken a few days ago,
with the result tuat it went 9.85 in
copper and a little in silver.
While this is deemed plenty good
enough to ship, Superintendent Parks
declares that the carload lot will go
considerably higher, saying he would
not be surprised if it went as high as
10 per cent.
The ore was taken from the drift
in the Clipper, which, yesterday, was
10 feet in width and all in ore. They
have been driving the drift while
taking out the ore for the shipment.
The only regret of the company is
that they could not get a larger car,
but the one in hand is the only one
available in the district.

and smelling bread at the smelter,
establish confines for their trade. No
housewife living to the north of East
Ely shall buy her bread, nor put in
her stock of Xmas mince pies from
other than the parties of the second
part; and those living to the south of
East Ely shall donate their shekels
to the party of the first part for her
cakes, pies and doughnuts.
At any rate, the agreement is to
the effect that the parties of the first
and second part will not sell to other
people than those living within their
boundaries; and it is further agreed
that no bakery shall be established
on the lot on the Hermansen's addi-
ton, where once the party of the
first part drove his doughnut trade.

EVADA BATTLE-BORN.

Hon. Frank H. Norcross, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Ne
vada, writes as follows in an article
in the November Scrap Book:
No one ever pretended that Ne
vada was admitted for any other rea-
son than as a war measure. Nevada
stands alone as the only territory in
the Union that had statehood thrust
upon her.
1t meant something to the people
of Nevada in 1864 to assume the
heavy burdens of statehood. The
glory wos not then SO alluring but
that the first proposed constitution
was rejected by popular vote. When
the real purpose of statehood was
better understood, the action of a
second constitutional convention was
promptly ratified.
So great was then deemed the ne
cessity for haste that the constitu-
tion was telegraphed to Washington
at an expense to the state for the
one despatch of v er $4,000.
Nevada lived up to her motto
"All for our Country" She turned
a stream of gold and silver into the
Golfers of the nation that made 1t
a to maintai her credit, and, be-
sides, she practically was compelled
to u the defense of her own
domain from warning Indian tribes.
