Farmers in lower Delaware are
greatly interested in an experiment
just concluded by Capt. William E.
Lank, who has thoroughly proven the
advantage Of the rotation Of crops on
a four-acre field. Last spring he ma
nured the four acres, which had been
in corn the previous year. The manure
was plowed under, the ground we'll
narrowed and peas drilled in. The
crop grew we'll, and in June the peas
were sold at a net profit OF S92.
AS soon as the peas were removed,
plows again turned the soil over and 1t
was planted with corn. From this a
fine crop of fodder was saved,
yielding a net profit Of $65. The
ground now has a fine set of scarlet
clover on it, the seed having been
sown at the last narrowing of the
corn, with every indication of $40
worth of clover hay in the spring and
a constant improvement to the land.

Worlds Wheat CROP, 1909.

Broomhall's final estimate OF the
1909 wheat crop of the world places
the total wheat production of the
wheat acreage OF the world at 3,3A7,-
0O0, 900 bushels, an increase of 2S5,-
600, 900 bushels over the production in
1908, a APT, O00, 900 bushel increase over
the crop of 1907. The production in
Europe aggregated l,S72, 100000 bush.
els, being 160, 600, 900 bushels over the
1908 crop. The crops Of North and
South America reaches 100000, 900
bushels. or so, 00O, 900 bushels over last
year. 1t is likely that this great pro
duction will not be more han enough
to supply the demands of the worlds

Salt for Milking Cows.

Your cows will get enough salt by
simply putting a lump of rock salt in
the manger. A COW giving a good flow
Of milk, well fed, ought to have two
ounces of salt a day, an ounce in the
morning and an ounce at night. Some

salt in your fingers and weigh it, and
will soon be able to judge the amount

it is not necessary to wash the udder

made from closely-ftted tongue n

tight, and the ventilators covered with
screen wire to keep out rats, weasels'
etc; the cover is roofing felt. Each
house is Dainted. The size is 6 by 8
feet; 6 feet high in front n 4 at the

could be built for less in places where
lumber is cheaper.
