Luck in the Future Nine.

People who believe in the myster-
ious properties of figures will be in
terested in the declaration of a New
York business man that this will be
a prosperous year for the country
because it contains the figure rine,
which has always proved a good
omen in the history of the country
He cites the business revival of 1889.
following the panic of 81, discovery
OF gold in California, in 1S49, the open
ing OF the Colorado mines in 1859,
the revival of business in 1869, the
era of prosperity which set in in 1879,
the boom period of 1898. and
the boom which set in in 1899, follow
ing the Spanish war. 1T looks as if
history would repeat itself in 1902"
he concludes. This is the kind of
news the country likes to hear, and
the figure nine may be assured that
it will be given due credit if the omen
holds good. There is at leas, as
much justification for prophecy based
on lucky numbers as there is for
weather prediction based on the
wishbone of a goose.

AUTUMN TINTS.
Reasons Why Leaves Change Their Color in
the Fall

Probably not one person in a
thousand knows just why leaves
change their color in the fall" re-
marked an eminent botanist the other
day. The green matter in the It's
sues of q leaf is composed of two
colorS, red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the autumn the nat
Inal growth of the tree is retarded
and oxidation of the tissue takes
place. Under certain conditions,
the green Of the leaf changes to red
under different aspects, it takes on u
yellow or brown hue. The difference
in color is due to the difference in
combinations of the original constitu-
entS of the green tissues, and to the
varying conditions of climate, expos
urc and soil. a dry. hot climate
produces more brilliant foliage than
one that is damp and cool. THIS is
the reason that American autumns
are SO much more gorgeous than
those of England and Scotland.
There are several things about
leaves, however, that even science
cannot explain For instance, why
one of two trees growing side by side,
of the same age and having the same
exposure, should take on a brilliant
red in the fall and the other should
turn yellow, or why one branch of a
tree should be highly colored and the
rest of the tree have only yellow
tint, are questions that are as impos-
siblc to answer why one member
of Il family should be perfectly heal
thy and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest colOrs.
People should be careful not to
touch the gorgeous red and yellow
autumn leaves or shrubs and climb
ing plants which are not known to
be harmless. Our two poisonous ma
tive plants display the most brilliant
autumnal colors of all species in our
woods and highways The poisonous
sumach resembles group Of Young
ash trees. The poisonous ivy re-
SembleS the harmless wOodbine. Its
leaves, however, have but three leaf
lets, while those of the woOdbine
have five"

munity lies on Virginian soil. The
State line cuts down the middle of
the principal street of the place.
There is not a saloon in Bristol, Tenn.
That side of the line was voted dry
at a recent election. But the victory
of the prohibitionists has not caused
them much JOY. The other part of
the town is wide open. and by the

citizens can splash in strong drink
to their hearts content. The unre-

Because of the fact that other crops

so 1t Is important that crop OF clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally If n 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. II 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 soil
on which more tender plants would
starvc Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the humus supply rapidly. since the

comparatively little humus from the
soil
/ These differences may be largely
equaliZcd by consistent system Of rO-
! tation. In planning rotations the aim
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 eft in to such q
crop depends largely on local condi-
lions. In the east, where alfalfa seed
Is high and the difficulties Of obtaining
n stand great. it Is usually wise not to
pillow up the crop for three CT four
years. Red clover lives only two years:
hence II 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 1t will be the sole
crop. If the second crop Of clover is
to be plowed under. rs Is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
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.
II the soil has been properly cared for,
however. this green manuring will be
unnecessary. AS general rule 1t is
more profitable to feed the hay or
grass to stock and return the manure
to the land. In this way from 80 to
90 per cent as much plant food Is
added as would have been II 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 CT early spring

sown with small grain In the spring.
A surer way Of obtaining Il stand is to
SOW after the oats have been disked In
and cover with a harrow; otherwise
the seed are put in so deeply that many
of the little plants never reach the sur

One Of the principal reasons for fail
IRE with clover is poor seed A sam
pie should always be tested before
sowing. This can be easily done by
putting hundred seeds between q
couple of moist blotters and keeping IN
a warm place for a few days. The
number that germinate can be used as
q guide as to the amount OF seed TO
use per acre.
one reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers is
me dificulty Of curing the hay. If 1t
