ROTATION RESTS THE SOIL
Allowing Land to Lie Idle Does Not
Bring About Result Lazy
Farmer Imagines.
BY r. PIERsoN.

BY r. PIERSON.
A neighbor of ours is bit discour-
aged over his crop outlook and thinks
his soil needs a rest, therefore, he is
talking of following his land next
year. Allowing to lie idle for a season
may be good thing for the lazy
farmer, but never could see any
other reason for it. The idea. of
course. is to rest" the land and the
conserving Of an extra season for a
single CROP This might be done pro-
vided the man has cultivated during
the fallow period, a fine mulch main
tanned, and the weeds kept down. but
If it is all to grow up to weeds and
grass this will take out quite as much
moisture as crop of corn or anything
else. Soil cannot assimilate plant
food unless it is cultivated, and there
fore, 1t follows that much of this food
goes to waste on fallow land. If the
farmer would set his plants a little
deeper, keep the cultivator going
more steadily, rest" his land. by a
change of crops, buy manure spread.
er, then use it, his farm would pro-
duce twice as much as it will If he
carries out his following plans.

EXCELLENT SPRING FOR DOOR
Spiral Hinge Makes Door Close of Its
Own Weight-clears Carpets
and Rugs. a

By taking advantage of the law of
gravity, Washington %. CO man
has invented hinge which also acts
as a spring. Spiral strips of metal
are screwed at top and bottom and
middle of the door casing. Other
metal strips, with slots for the spiral
to pass through, are fastened to the
door at corresponding distances and
form the hinges. When the door Is
opened it rides up on the spirals, clear
ing rugs, carpets, mats or whatever
else may be at the bottom. Then,
when the pressure on the door is re-
leased 1t settles of it's own weight and
closes slowly and gently as the in
closing strips slide down the spiral.
There is no necessity to have pneu-
matte device attached to prevent the
door from closing with a bang, as is
the case with many other spring
