Value Of Rotation Demonstrated.

The value of rotation in ridding
land of weeds is we'll illustrated by
two plats at the Minnesota station
One plat on which wheat has been
grown continuously for eleven years is
quite badly infested with wild cats
Another plat two feet away from the
first one, on which a five-year rota-
tion (wheat, grass, oats and CORN is
followed, is free OF wild oats.
If any farmer who IS troubled with
any of our common annual weeds will
lay his farm off in convenient shaped
and sized fields, and follow a system
of rotation, using a well cultivated
crop of corn once in flye to seven
years, and one to three grass crops
during the same time, he will have
but little trouble with weeds, and will
Increase the products Of his farm

A Sad Confession.

Talking with a brother minister
not long since. we asked what was
being done for temperance in his
town. practically nothing" he re-
piled. Urging upon him the personal
duty of beginning an attack on the
saloons, he parried our appeals for
a while, but at length broke out sub
stantially in the following confession
and statement:
Il know / am not doing what I
ought. 1t is question Of bread and
butter for myself and family with
me. But II I satisfied my conscience
by attacking the saloons, / would
ALLEVIATE some of the financial sup
porters of my church who are in
terested in them. This would cripple
my church finances, and some of my
official members would at once COM
plain to the Presiding Elder Che was
a Methodist) that was an injudicious
man, and that they must have
change. At the conference the Pre-
siding Elder would report this to the
Bishop, and as consequence I would
be sent away to place unable to give
me decent support. / say my silence
10 matter of bread and butter with
me-"
Methodist Episcopal Presiding Ed
ers and Bishops, how much truth is
there In this mans statement? If
there Is even color of fact in 1t, as
there is too much ground to fear, we
need to cleanse ourselves of such sin.
Should the church ever become a
terror to Righteousness, instead of
evil-doers, then would she indeed be
that anti-Christ which 1t would be the
duty Of all good men to destroy as
the chief hindrance of Christ's incom-
ing Acknowledgment Herald.

The Worth of a Single Life.

DIR. Torrey tells of well which
was being dug in an American town
ship by two men, one working at the
bottom filing bucket, and the other
at the top drawing 1t up by a wind
lass. Presently quicksand was
struck. which began to pour In upon
the bottom man; but. sheltering his
head under plank which was there,
he was able to breathe. News of his
danger spread in the township, and
the whole township turned out to dig
that man out, and worked for many
hours till he was saved.
Was 1t worth Il for the whole
township to go to work to save one
man? Was 1t right?
There is one man going down
victim of the liquor traffic in your
township. VIII 1t be worth II for the
whole township to vote the liquor
traffic out to save that man? VIII 1t

That is what some knowledge of
agriculture and dairying is called by
a man who says he never took or read
agricultural or dairy papers in his
life. He assumes that he knew It all
when he was born. Here is an in
ventory of that fellow set out by
Ioard's Dairyman. In referring to
one of its cow census correspondents
who was looking over the dairy field
Of Wisconsin, it says of this man:
He found q farmer with herd of
sixteen cows, the milk OF which he
was taking to a creamery. Actually
he did not get money enough from his
cows to pay for their keeping. and he
lost about IS a head. Within a quar-
ter OF mile of this man was another
farmer, patron of the same cream
cry, whose herd Of nineteen cows paid
a profit above the cost OF keeping of
s17 apiece. The difference between
those two men was. one mans loss
added to the others profit, or a diff
ference of SIS per COW for the poor
herd
The census taker tried to arouse
the dull man to a sense of the situa-
ton he was in, and showed him the
figures relating to the more success
full farmer. This seemed to anger
him, and ne said it was "all a lie."
and he knew it. So low and sunken
was this mans mind that he had
never had dairy or agricultural pa
Der in his house That showed clear
ly the amount of brains he was bring
ing to bear on his work. He boasted
to the census taker that he had got
all he had withoutany of this blamed
fool education"

Chicago's Saloons Decrease.

The number of saloons In Chicago
has been steadily decreasing until
there are over 1000 fewer to-day
than there were in 1905. The growth
of temperance sentiment has operated
to bring this about indirectly. but the
immediate factor in the case was the
law which raised the license fee to
$1,000 In 1905. There are still 1880
saloons within the city limits, but the
suburbs and better residence districts
are very largely dry.

Effect of Fatigue on MIX snnrly.

In experiments made by the Ver-
mont Experiment Station to deter
mine the effect Of fatigue on the milk
flow, the COWS were driven ten to
twelve miles and shipped fifty to sew
enty miles by rail. In the first trial
with twenty-five COWS, half gave rich
er milk the night of their arrival,
and ali richer milk the next morning
than they did two weeks later, the
fat being the most variable constitu-
ent. The quantity was unfavorably
affected. In the second trial it was
found that fatigue lessened the flow
temporarily, affected its quality seri-
ously for the first one or two milk
ings, and raised the quality after a
little while. On the third trial six
COWS, eighteen hours en- route and
not MIXED during this time, showed
temporary enrichment of the milk
for a day or two. Apparently there
was no serious milk shrinkage. It
seems safe to conclude as a result of
the three trials that fatigue tends to
lessen the flow temporarily and vari-
ously to affect the quality for one or
two milkings. The folly of testing
milk before a cow has become accus-
toned to her new surroundings Is
clear.-FarMers' Home Journal.

The Farm Richer.

The farmers profit is mostly in
making his farm richer and more
valuable every year. He should live
within his means and incur no debts
possible to avoid, but he can have a
good living from the farm if he will
determine to buy no article that he
can produce himself. The home mar
ket (the one owned by the farmer) is
TO be supplied first. and the farm that
does not contain a variety. and also
provide an abundance, has not been
properly utilized. .-Epitomist.

A Good Sermon.

alienist, was talking about campaign
oratory.

ator, "is such thoroughgoing,
painstaking and withal tedious cam
paign orator that whenever ! hear
him I am reminded of an old-fash-
ioned minister of my boyhood.
This minister on Sunday morning
spread before him on the reading
desk a very thick packet of notes
and launched into a long, dry, heavy
sermon.
"The reading OF the sermon alb
sorbed him. He did not once lift his
eyes. on toward the end. however.
happening to glance up, he perceived
almost the entire congregation to be
sound asleep.
"The minister frowned and paused.
He struck the desk resounding blow
that awakened his parishioners. Then
no said:

cost me great deal of labor, and
do not think you have given II the
attention 1t deserves. shall, there

TARGET PRACTICE

Several of the lebstermen in Fishers

Tuesday over what they deem negli-
gence of the officers I'm charge of gun
practice of the militia stationed on
Fishers Island. While hauling their
pots in that vicinity they were sub
jected to the FIRE of the gunners which
was directed at targets. Many OF the
shots when they struck tise. water
bounded up and passed GLOSSY to',some
of the boats. In sone or two cases the
shot passed directly over the boats,
striking ten water but about thirty
feet beyond. One can imagine how
close the shots must have come to the
boats when the velocity of the shells
Is taken into consideration. Surely
they could not have passed more than
eight or ten feet above the boats. The
lobstermen say that it is rather UNI
pleasant to be shot atH especially with
