To Cure a Kicking Cow.

When the cause of kicking can only
be assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement
will be found useful, and at the same
time. simple, harmless. effective. in
expensive and easily applied. a strap
about one inch wide should be buckled
around each hind leg a little above
the hook, sufficiently tight to com.
press the hamstring.
The animal cannot kick, and II flies
are troublesome and cause her to
switch her tail the best plan is to
either strap it to her leg or secure 1t
to one OF the straps With piece OF
cord. Use the straps every time the
animal Is MIXED, and after three
weeks or so omit to ascertain wheth-
err q cure hast been effected or not.

BENEFITS OF CROP ROTATION
BY Alternating Oats, Corn and Wheat
Better Results Follow Than From
Any One Kind.

(By D. W. FREAR. COLORADO AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE)
Almost all farmers change tho
crops on some of their fields every
year. but comparatively few use
system based on the latest knowledge
OF the handling Of soils. crops. stock
and plant diseases and insects. 1t
Is only when this knowledge Is made
use Of in the planning of cropping
system that the greatest net return
per acre may be expected.
When there Is regular arrange
ment Of crops on farm In such q
manner that the soil fertility 10
maintained and there Is a large aver
age net return for long series OF
years. the arrangement Is spoken Of
as a crop rotation.
No two crops have Just the same
effect on the soil. the same develop
ment Of root system. nor take the
same amount of food elements from
the soil. Several classifications are
made OF field crops based on the
characters Of the plants. their effect
on the soil and the method of rails
ing them. One classification Is &C.
cording to the length of the root sys-
TEN.
Alfalfa, clover and some OF the
root crops and native prairie grasses
have long. deep-penetrating root sys-
tens which enable them to get food
and moisture from the subsoi! much
below the reach of ordinary root
systems. When such plants become
established they are able as a rule
to withstand considerably more
drought than the shallower rooted
plants.
Crops like barley, milo, turnips
and many of the cultivated grasses
are shallow rooted. On this account
they often decrease the fertility and
moisture content of the surface soil
crops. In spite of its shallow root
system, milo is able to withstand Sc
we're drought. This is due largely
to it's great ability to make use of
what water there is in the soil and
it will reduce the water content lower
than will other field crops. 1t is also
able to remain dormant for long pc
Rods of time, and will start in and
grow as soon as it gets moisture.
Among the moderately deep rooted
plants are oats, corn, wheat and some
of the cultivated grasses.
BY alternating these three classes
of crops on the land much better re-
suits will follow than by raising one
kind continuously, since the com
bined root systems OF the three will
penetrate a larger area Of the soil
which results in more economical
utilization of plant food and soil
moisture.
The soil will be left In better
physical and chemical condition and
the crop yields be larger.
