he gets OF.
Mary has made the mistake into
which travellers fall. Seeing q few

jumps ut the conclusion that this Is
the American man.
No guess could be wider of the mark.
Without census figures We make bold
to say that the American man al
whole doesn't possess that gawky
harness known as u dress suit. Neither
does he make his main diet on cane

Corn After Flax
In Rotation,
BY E. s. Cooley, superintend-
emit Of Farmers Institutes.

$3.50 - !. + + /. !. !. !. !. !. !. + !.
There is a prevalent opinion among
farmers that fax is an exhausting
crop and hard on the land. This opin-
ion is not fully justified, either by ex-
perience or by a knowledge Of the
chemical constituents Of soils removed
BY the fax crop.
Flax uses less phosphoric acid and
mineral plant food and much less pot
ash than most crops. On the other
hand, it Is heavy nitrogen feeder.
ten bushels Of max using as much nj
trogen as twenty bushels Of wheat or
thirty-dve bushels Of barley or oats.
For this reason fax does not follow
fax or other nitrogen feeders to a.
good advantage as 1t does a carbon
aceOus crop.
In a recent visit to the A. 4 S.
Land company at Armenia, N. D..
learned that their plan is to follow
fax with corn. Mr. Chafee's plan on
his $4,000 acres OF land IL TO follow a
fve.year rotation, somewhat as fol-
lows Two years, wheat; one year,
clover; enc year, fax: and one year.
corn. Good crops of corn are secured
after fax, while the best wheat comes
after the corn crop.
talked with many practical farm
ers, who thought FAX hard crop on
the land. who said they got better
corn after 6ax than after most other
crops.
A reason for this may be discovered
in the fact that fax stubble and roots
disintegrate slowly. leaving plant food
and organic matter locked up 10 their
tissues for long time. Corn grows
late in the season, when nitrihcatton
and disintegration are most active. As
an intertilled crop It furnishes condi.
tions favorable to the dissolution Of
organic matter In the ground. Corn
is known to be better adapted to de-
rive benefit from fresh organic ma
nures than those crops which mature
in midsummer.
Flax growers and farmers will do
we'll to notice that corn is one OF the
best crops to follow fax, and that
corn puts the land in the best posi-.
BILE condition for subsequent crops Of
wheat.

PRACTICAL AMERICAN SYMPATHY.

SEED POTATOES.

This is . good time to begin the
work Of selecting seed potatoes for

seed potatoes is good. strong,

close watch over them. and make es-
pecial note of those that seem to be
unusually disease resistant and i'm.
u,une from the bugs.
Then when fall comes. before the
potato patch is dug. 60 over It and
dig the potatoes from these hills

potatoes from those hills where the
yield was unusually good In this way

MORE OF REEDS SATIRE.

One day in parliamentary dis
cussion some one cited a ruling and
attributed it to Mr.. Carlisle, for
whose great abilities both as law
yer and as a parliamentarian, Mr..
Reed, like all the rest Of US, had the
highest respect. Mr.. Reed at once
rose. "That ruling" he said, "was
not made by the speaker. When the
speaker permits such a ruling as
that to be made he yields the chair
to the gentleman from Illinois. He
has too much respect for the rules Of
this house and for parliamentary law
to make such ruling himself.

The Orient Coming.

The daily papers the past week
have been indulging in articles
about the Southwest Kansas &
Colorado Ry., which is at present
trying to secure bonds in Clark
and Meade counties. 1t is now
said that the project is being put
through in the interest of the
Kansas City, Mexico 6 Orient,
which has some of the right-of-
way already negotiated. The road,
as pictured in map in the Star
last week, shows the road crossing
the Rock Island at Arkalon. How
eyer, those who are familiar with
the topography of the country
around Arkalon do not think this
probable, even if the Orient would
care to cut Liberal off the route.
This may be merely a bluff, to
hold Liberal up for a bonus, but
that is really unnecessary, as the
town will be right there with the
goods when the railroad people
can show sufficient provocatiOn.
