MINERALS IN HUMAN BODY

The human body contains, among
other constituents, about two pounds
OF phosphorus, which is essential to
the health Of the bones and the vigor
OF the brain. This phosphorus, if ex-
tracted and put to another use, would
make up about 1000 packages Of fric-
ton matches.
Besides phosphorus, the body con-
tains few ounces Of sodium and half
an ounce of potassium. The quantity
of the latter would be sufficient for
many experiments in a class In chem.
1stry.
In addition to sodium and potas.

SEED PLATs.

National Crop Improvement servicel
There is a great difference In the
grain grown in the same field and
under the same conditions, and the
farmer should learn the Importance of
selecting sound, healthy plants from
all over the field in all cases. Even
where they have not a mixture Of
other varieties, there will always be
D great variation among the plants.
The best procedure, however, is to
make constant use Of q regular seed
plat which is simply small space OF
one acre or more, depending upon the
size of the farm, in which enough
seed grain Is grown, none Of it being
sold in the usual manner, but all be-
ing used for sowing the regular crov
f the next year.

WHEN THEY WORE "PIGTAILs"

The edict sanction1ng the abolition

SO very long since the p1gtail disap-
peared not merely from the army and

life In England. Waistlong pigtails
were the fashionable wear in England
about 1740 and before that the bag
wig had been adorned with pigtail
Topped up in black silk bag. AS late
as 1858 an old gentleman was seen on
Cheapside with his gray hair tied be-
hind in short queue, and even today
we can find relic Of the pigtail for

RYE AS FORAGE CROP.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
The great tendency Of late years has
been to grow more forage of the plants
Of the grass family and their use for
this purpose is likely to increase as
grain feeds become more expensive.
Forage cropping affords opportunity
for a more complete system Of crop
rotation as does grain farming. On
all stock or dairy farming, rotation
should be arranged so as to include
grasses and smaller cereals and grow
grain, for silage or for grain. A valu.
able rotation on dairy farms will be
found to be a six years plan con
sisting Of:
First, rye sown after grass with
clover as a cover crop.
Second, corn with a corn crop O
rye or clover.
Third, oats.
Fourth, clover and mixed grasses

CLOVER SEED SCARCE
Probable High Price Should Induce
Farmers to Save Seed Crop

The severe drouth last summer and
the hard winter which followed it so
injured the clover fields of the North
west that clover seed will be scarce
next season, and will undoubtedly de-
mand as high price as it did this
spring. Some paid as high as $25 for
LOO pounds of clover seed this spring,
which was very profitable price to
the one who was fortunate to have
some for SALE
Anyone who has good field of
clover will obtain profit by cutting
it for seed, if he is certain that the
heads are we'll filed An ordinary
crop of clover will yield from one to
two bushels per acre, and it is not
uncommon in Minnesota to obtain
four or five bushels per acre Figure
at about SIS bushe1, it can be seen
what a tidy profit may be obtained,
even when very common crop has
been harvested. 1t will pay the far
mer to look over his second growth of
clover early this fall before he decides
to use it for anything else, and see
how we'll the heads are filling.
A crop of clover seed may be har-
vested in several, ways. Some persons
use common grain binder with a flax
dump attachment, which leaves the
clover in gavels. Others use a
self-rake reaper. Where only a small
crop is to be cut, it may be advisable
to use common mower and roll the
swath out of the way before making
the next round. If a team is permit
ted to walk on the clover, especially
if it les dry when cut, many Of the
heads will be knocked off and the seed
will be lost.
| Another method of cutting clover
for seed is to use a mower With a
clover dump attachment. This at
rachment consists of several long fin
gers turned in the form Of a mold
board on a pillow. These fingers roll
the swath out of the way so that q
team can pass along the next. time
without trampling on the clover. II
is often advantageous to cut clover
for seed when it is damp with dew OF
light rain. If it is very wet, it tan
giles up and becomes hard to handle
but when. it is moist the scattering o.
seed is avoided
1t is advisable to hull the clover
seed as soon as the straw is thorough
ly dry. If it is found impossible t.
do this, the clover may be stacked. I
it is stacked outside, the stack mus
be covered with canvas, boards, Of
slough hay, as it will not shed water
If a huller cannot be secured, much
of the seed can be threshed out will
a threshing machine equipped with {
sharp cylinder and concave teeth. I
/ is practically impossible to secure al
the seed, however, unless a huller il
employed.-O. NJ. Olson, Extension

RYE IN COLD CLIMATES.
Rye Harder Than Wt,eat-WiII Grow
in Cold Weather When Wheat
Lies Dormant in the Ground.
BY H. e. Kruger.

National Crop Improvement Servte.]
Rye is the typical grain of the cold
temperature climate. For its germ1na-
ton the minimum heat requirement
is 33 to SO degrees Fahrenheit; the
maximum sc F., and the best tempera-
ture II degrees F.
When the soil temperature is 80 to
IL degrees Fahrenheit, rye terminates
in four days. 1t withstands cold down
to Is degrees F., and 1t grows In win
ter when the temperature is few
degrees above freezing point (32 de-
grees).
Rye is much more hardy than
wheat. When wheat lies dormant
rom cold, rye grows readily.

VARIETIES OF RYE.
Prof. v. c. PIummer.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Rye cross-pollinates so readily tina,
but very few varieties have become
we'll established. Named varieties
frequently appear, but they do not re-
main as fixed market varieties for
any length Of time. But little effort
has been made by seedsmen to intro
duce or promote good varieties Of rye;
and experiment stations have been
slow to develop new varieties from the
stocks at hand. The Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station has had numerous
varieties under trial since 1900, and
has given considerable attention to
breeding and selecting superior
strains. One nursery bred variety has
been introduced widely in the state,

RYE in ROTATION.
Rye Takes the Place Of Winter Wheat
in Rotation.
BY [. c. Burnett, Agronomist.

National Crop Improvement Servics.l
The place Of rye n rotation Is an
important factor. In some parts OF
the East, rye takes the place Of winter
wheat in rotation. Every careful
farmer soon comes to know that a
certain filth or condition of soil may
be expected from certain crops. The
rotation must adapt itself to the
farmers business-to the support OF
live stock, if he is a dairyman or
stock farmer, to the demands Of the
grain trade, if he is a grain farmer,
etc. 1t must adapt itself to the soil
and fertility problem. The chief pur-
pose of a rotation is to recuperate
worn and depleted lands. In such case,
the frequent recurrence of luguminous
crops is prominently desirable. Rye
serves excellently as a rotation crop,

KILL THE WEEDS.

The best way to kill weed, is to
first, before planting fan or grade your
seed SO there will be no danger Of
planting weed seeds. All small grain
contain more or less weed seeds and

Every farmer can do this work on
his own farm with his own grader. II
he has no grader, get one. It does not

already in the soil and come up may
be eradicated by sprinklng with a
solution Of iron sulphate. which will

CHANGE IS NEEDED.
High School Course Is Declared to
Be Too BOokish.

Chicago, July 6.-High school edu-
cation throughout the United States
was branded as generally 'bookish,
scholastic, abstract and inadequate to
meet the practical problems of life"
in a report submitted today to the
national council of education of the
National Educational association. The
whole trouble with high school educa-
ton, declared David Felmley, presi-
dent of the State Normal school at
Normal, ILL.,. in reading the report
lis that it is regarded too much as
merely preparation for the univer-
sity instead of dealing with problems
of life today. The students are taught
to deal with the language, politics and
customs of fifteen centuries ago.
About al the high school teachers
are college graduates who have no
adequate knowledge of affairs outside
of colleges. Their teaching is there
fore bookish, scholastic and abstract.
I'VE need a change of aim in high
school teaching, a look in the direc-
ton of the farm, shop and home.
While we do not recommend an edu-
cation entirely vocational, we urge
departure from the college idea"
AS a means of undermining high
schools the report recommended that
in a four year course two years of vo-
cational study should be provided.
J. Stanley Brown. Joliet ILL.,, high
school superintendent, a member of the
committee, dissented from some of the
criticisms.
