During the summer and other sea-
sons when the weather is mild it is
the custom on many farms to allow
the COWS to remain in the barn lot
over night Also, often this lot lies
between the dwelling and the barn, in
jectionable. The manure which accu-
mulates in a lot where the cows spend
the night soon becomes nuisance,
besides being wasted.
1t is best either TO stall the COWS
during mild weather or to turn them
out TO pasture at night after the milk
ing is done In the stalls the manure
will not be scattered over large areas
about the place, and will be in po-
sition to be saved. If, the COWS are
turned into the pasture for the night,
the manure will be so far removed
from the home that it will not be a
nuisance, and it will be on the ground,
where none of it will be wasted and
where it will do the most good with
the least amount of work
If the COWS are to be stalled during
the entire year, the stable must be
well ventilated, so the animals will
not suffer with heat at night. This
can be easily done by providing plenty
of doors and windows. Keeping them
stalled at times when they could be

An Exciting Ride.

In going over one of the mountain
roads, on the way to the crest of the
Andes, the traveller has need of steady
nerves. A passage in THE Andean
Land" by C. S. Osborn, describes the
journey. 10.
The road is narrow and rocky and
rutty and steep, with no walls to speak
of except tumbledown ones that in
crease the danger by their false sug-
gestion of safety, and in one place the
wagon would fall two thousand feet if
it should roll off the edge of the noun
tain. =
The road has no graceful sweeps or
round, easy curves as it takes its way
up the Titanic heights, but rather it
zigzags like the teeth of a saw, as
cending in short stretches and doubling
back at sharply acute angles, leaving
very little room for team and wagon
to turn in when driven slowly and
carefully and two abreast.
Now imagine. if you can, the horses
driven madly in a gallop. no trot;
that would be slow; but in quick,
short, jerky jumps, such as the mus
tang-like animals would make under
the saddle when pressed.
The short, high coach follows the
cavorting horses, jerking, careening
and springing like small boat sailing
into wildly chopped sea.
You perceive that the wheels are
strong, and the springs, too, and the
whole rig evidently intended for
chariot racing
The driver groans, yells, whistles
shrilly, cracks his thick rawhide whip,
lashes his horses, and does everything
he knows that will inspire fear and
induce speed

The RIue Whale.

What is claimed as the largest anf-
NAL in the world Is represented by a.
colossal skeleton in the museum Of
Christchurch, New Zealand. says the
London Globe. This is the remains OF
a large specimen of the blue whale
stranded on the coast of that country.
This whale is probably the largest of
all living animals. The length of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name of blue whale from the dark
blush gray of its upper surface The
tinge Of yellow on it's lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western SIDE
Of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera Sil,-
baldii).
The chief food of this gigantic ami
NAL Is a small marine crustacean
(Thysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as ''kril." Another species OF
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs OF mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found in enormous numbers
In the Greenland seas form the chief
food Of the common whale. Some OF
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity Of the

While there is much difference of
opinion as to the rotation of crops
on a medium heavy loan, we have had
the best results from following corn
with potatoes, always being careful to
heavily manure the ground for the
corn and not use any stable manure
at all for the potato crop. By heavily
manuring We mean sgiving the soil
more than will be required by the
corn and more tan will be necessary
to make good to the soil any reserve
fertility the corn takes from it; in
other words, so that there will be
some of the virtue of the manure left
for the benefit of the potatoes For
the latter crop we confine ourselves
to an APPLICATION of mixed fertilizer,
consisting ST sulphate ammonia, bone
meal and sulphate of potash, applied
at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre.
There may be no objection to the use
of stable manure for the potato crop,
provided one can obtain it well rotted,
but the fresh manure is a scab breed
er and we never use it for potatoes.

The use of the most modern meth
DDS in farming is by no means re-
stricted to the huge ranches of this
country. In nearly every locality in
the state farmers are using traction
engines with steam or gasoline for
power to pillow and harrow their land.
We know one ranch of $50 acres-nct
large for this state-on which the
blowing and narrowing is done with
a 20 horsepower gasoline engine. This
hauls four 14-inch gang plows and a
2-horse harrow-the equivalent of the
work of twenty horses. The distance
traversed over tough soil is from two
! to two and a half miles an hour. One
harrow is placed off to the side so that
the result is double narrowing of
the tract. 1t was considered too small
al area to warrant the initial expense
for the machine, but the owners of the
ranch are satisfied that it will save
its cost in few years. The time is
coming when the tedium of farm work
will be laid upon machinery.

Keeping the Soil Fertile.

According to Prof Whitney of the
Bureau of Soil, United States depart
ment of Agriculture, a soil to be fertile
must contain a sufficient quantity of
the ash ingredients of the plants to be
cultivated, and these must be in such
soluble condition as to be taken up
by the growing plants Soils once fer
tile are said to be exhausted when de-
prived of such food as is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat-
ing treatment will, in time, restore
such soils TO a fertile condition
Until past the year 1850 no just
ideas upon the rotation of crops SEEM
ed to have been formed in any part Of
England
The rotation OF crops affords time
for the disintegrating action of the at
mosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
in the soil and get it in a form to be
used by the plant One crop may use
up the available food of a particular
kind faster than it cen be prepared
by these natural agencies. When prop
erly managed it enables one plant to
prepare food-for another.

to guard against the heavy recoil of

ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil in
the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds. Upon the above principles
is based a regular succession Of crops.
Though the system of rotation is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times, and on the. demand for
different kinds of produce. On clayey
soils, beans and clover, with rye grass
are generally alternated with grain
crops. and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips. beets, potatoes and
clover. On rich soils this system OF
alternate husbandry is most conducive
to the plentiful production OF food,
both for men and animals. One por--
ton of a farm would thus be always
under grain crops. while the other. por-
ton was growing roots or cultivated
grasses; but. as the major part of ar
able lands can not be preserved in
state of fertility with even this kind of
management, it is requisite that the
portion of the farm which is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
for two or three years. in order to give
il time to recruit The following is a
good rotation of crops: First year,
clover; second, clover; third, corn;
fourth, oats; fifth, wheat The clover

Orchard Pests.

Whether there is good or poor
fruit crop it will pay to keep the fruit
trees as free from disease and injuri-
GUS insects as possible. The healthy
and uninjured tree is more liable TO
bear and prove profitable than the
one full of disease and injury. The
orchard will last longer il it is kept
clean and healthy.
Borers are among the most insidi-
Gus pests of the apple orchard in some
localities. On account of their habits
they cannot be reached by poisonous
sprays, and nOstrums placed about the
roots. as sometimes recommended, are
utterly useless. The most efficient
means of preventing damage from
these pests is by annual inspection of
the trees and removal of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife. Various
protective measures are also used.
One of the most effective is to paint
the lower part of the stem in late
winter or early spring with fairly
thick paint made from pure ready
mixed paints Tor THIS purpose, since
others may contain injurious sub
stances. Wood veneer strips and wire
gauze are sometimes used to prevent
the eggs from being laid on the trunks
of the trees, but white lead paint is
simple and cheaper
Black rot is a fungous disease which
attacks the fruit, foliage, old bark and
branches of apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other forms. Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk,
and the limbs develop so rapidly as to
endanger the life of trees, but this is
seldom the case except where spraying
is wholly neglected. The fruit is rarely
seriously injured, though outbreaks in
this form may sometimes be quite Sc

1t is mistake to imagine that ami.

eating injurious food A chicken will
drink paint; a COW partakes of water

snails and choke themselves in the
process. No; animals, like children,

Recently numerous cases of poison
ing in ducks, which followed the con-
sumption of cabbage leaves, have at

times death. From time immemorial
ducks have thrived on cabbage leaves.
The poultry farmers were greatly puz-

Then 1t was discovered that various
caterpillars were concealed in the cab

the point is that, far from instructive

accordingly, the ducks consumed great
quantities of the leaves with much ap-
parent relish.-London Answers.

The Sand Pear.

The sand pear is the only pear that

To Legalize Tipping.

While praiseworthy attempts are
being made in London to minimize
the tipping system, the Throne says,
a movement has been started in Ber-
lin to make the custom compulsory.
The cafe walters in the kaiser's capi-
tai have formed themselves into q
union with the object of legalizing
tipping They have drawn up scale
of tips and passed resolutions to en-.
force it, If the order a customer
gives in a restaurant amounts to
shillings he will be expected to tip the
waiter to the tune Of II per cent X
the order is more than shillings the
"kellner" will be content with a tip
of 10 per cent. In the larger restaur-
ants the waiter will be satisfied with
modest per cent tip if the bill
amounts to e5. The restaurant keep

refuse to give way.
