Crop Rotation.

In order that we may maintain the
supply of humus and thus preserve the
fertility Of the soil, 1t is essential that
on all tillable lands that we adopt a
rotation of crops. A much larger pro-
portion Of our land should be in perma-
nent pasture. 1t is easy for a farmer
to adopt rotation on the portion OF
his land that Is under tillage, but the
adoption of rotation necessarily in
wolves some branch of animal feeding
in order to utilize the clovers and
grasses which form so essential a part
of the rotation. Growing and feeding
live stock will avail but little unless
the manure is carefully saved, both llq-
uids and solids, and applied regularly
Where a general line Of live stock
farming is being followed there need
be but little fear of decline In the
productive capacity of the farm There
are certain soils that may be deficient
in potash or phosphoric acid and on
such soils 1t Will pay large returns to
use mineral fertilizers In connection
with the manure that is made on the
farm. Do not use commercial fertillz-
ers unless you have reason to believe
that your soil is deficient In the ele-
ments that you are buying. 1t is a
waste of money to supply elements that
are not needed by the soil.-Agricultur-
al Epitomist.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1909-03-19
Live Stock and Fertility.

AS rule, the best farming Is done
where some form Of live stock grow
ing and feeding is being practiced ;
however, it is not correct to say that
fertility can not be maintained without
live stock. The matter of maintaining
soil fertility by the use of legume crops,
aided by mineral fertilizers used to In
crease the growth of these crops, is
possible, although as general propo-
sition it is not profitable.
1t is not the fertility alone which
live stock brings to the farm, but the
organic matter which their presence
brings to the soil. In addition to the
humus and plant food contained In
stable manure there are present GER
tain bacteria that assist In the work OF
making the plant food contained in the
manure available to the growing plants.
After completing their work of max
ing the plant food in the manure avail
able to the plants, they seize and con-
tinue their work of nitrifcation as long
as conditions are favorable.
This explains why a small applica-
tion of manure to certain soils will
produce results far beyond the actual
fertilizing value of the manure that is
used. Another point In favor Of live
stock growing and feeding is the fact
that all rational plans Of maintaining
soil fertility depend upon growing
crops in the rotation that are adapted
for animal feeding.
There are many live stock growers
and feeders who are not keeping the
productive qualities Of their soils with
all of the manure they are making, as
well as the crop growers. By proper
cultivation and care a small amount Of
manure goes a long ways.-Agricultural
Epitomist.

plenty Of Winter work.

'There Is no res. for the wicked"
says the book, neither is there rest for
the farmer or any other man who loves
his work and Is on the job all the time.
There are so many things which the
average farmer may do In the winter
which are both profitable and pleasant
that any farmer, whether owner or ten
ant, may find occupation every day he
may wish through the winter. Feed
ing cattle and hogs Is very pleasant
and nearly always profitable, not only
directly, but indirectly. Every load of
manure hauled out brings large re-
turns. The winter gives to man an ex-
cellent chance also to be in the shop
and repair farm machinery, build coops
and houses for the chicks. See that
the pig houses are in good shape for
the coming litters and fix up the box
stalls for the early cows or mare, and
hundred other things may be done.
Another very important thing is to
have plenty of good posts made to use
on the farm the coming year. How
often do we see farmers stop right in
the busy season to make posts and re-
pair fences, let alone building new.
There is no earthly excuse except lazi-
ness for man hugging tie hot stove
all winter.

How to Make n windmili.


The odd looking air engine is not
a flying machine, it is windmill, and
when properly constructed, has been
known to develop from to 3 horse
power, with a 6 foot wheel. A small
er wheel, say with 2 foot blades, will
easily run a churn, small grinder, corn
shelter, wood saw, etc. The height of
the frame work, size of timbers, eetc.,
will depend ON the location, and size
Of mill. 1t should have a clear space
with no buildings, or nearby trees to
obstruct the wind The structure may
set in any position, as it will run with
the wind In any direction. The two
blades of the wheel are half circles,
as shown, and llay be made Of any
wood handy, they are set In the wood
pieces that are bolted around the iron
shaft, and braced and held in place
by the iron rods, A. A. and the strops,
e. E.; the blades are set at an angle
of 45 degrees from the sLArt, as shown
in the right hand figure tl the illus
tration. Small wheels may be built of
three-quarter inch lumber, and larger
wheels, of corresponding thickness.
The frame work should be Aka inch
lumber, for small wheel, and larger
stuff used for larger wheels.
The four guy wires shown at G. G.
G. serve to hold the frame upright, and
1t is not necessary to set the two
outer posts over 2 or 3 feet In the
ground. The iron shaft will usually
be found in almost any old scrap pile,
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1909-03-19

and should nave several holes through
it for bolting the two wood timbers
in place, the shaft is shown at B. and
the pump or working rod at D. This
rod may of course be connected to
any machine. If the two gear wheels
from an old moving machine, be con-
nected at point B you will then have
back geared mill, that will run with
much less wind, but will of course not
do the work quite so fast; however, 1t
Is to be preferred to the direct stroke,
that you would have without the gear
ing, and you will do away with the
humping, and pounding. If neces-
sary, in building a large wheel, two
straight trees could be used for the
two outer posts of frame work. The
boxing, In the uprights, in which the
iron shaft revolyes, should be kept
well luhricated.-J. e. Bridgman, in

Keeping Eggs in Winter.

From the many methods advocated
for keeping eggs the water glass test
is undoubtedly the most satisfactory
one part water glass added to nine
parts soft water, previously boiled and
cooled.

fresh and not Clipped or cracked.

about one spoiled egg In jar con-
tanning thirty dozen good eggs.
Don't crowd them and leave at least
three inches Of liquid at the top Of
the vessel.
We have found, to pack only lin
tied number, that If placed in oats,
small end down, layer OF oats and
layer of eggs, and when the box
is full lid placed on and the box
turned every day, the eggs keep well.
They are not fresh eggs, of course,
nor should they be sold as such.
