THE LITTLE
PAY
BY c. c. BOWSFIELD

strating the great loss that is being
sustained throughout the country in
not making closer study in require
ments OF cultivation for large grain
yields. II Ia rotation and diversity
that are lacking-the former to keep
up the farm, the latter the profits.
Every practical rotation must con-
tain crops that use nitrogen and crops
that gather It. For example, In the
common rotation OF corn, wheat and
clover the first two use nitrogen, and
the third gathers it. In fact, clover is
a user and a satherer Of nitrogen. Do
not think because a legume adds nitro
gen to the soil that it does not use up
plant food. All the leguminous crops
use more potash and phosphorus than
almost any of the grain crops. A large
amount OF nitrogen is also used, but It
is taken from the air.
Now let the farmer push this diversi-
ncation far beyond the corn, wheat and
clover crops. Cowpeas and oats sown
together make splendid fodder and
benefit the soil. They can be harvest
ed by midsummer and a crop of millet
grown on the same land by fall. Rye
and clover sown together in the fall
can be cut for fodder by June 1 and
potatoes, corn, rutabagas, millet or
cowpeas grown the same season.
While farmers are making 500 10 $40
an acre on heavy grain crops they
should not overlook such products as
onions, beans, potatoes, sugar beets
and fruit, which return a profit of S1OO
to 5000 an acre and place agriculture
on a business basis.

SAVE THE BEST TURKEYS.
II 10 a Mistake to Keep Inferior Fowls
For Breeding Purposes.

Very often turkey raiSers sell off
for the early market all their earliest
and largest birds, which are usually
their all around best. With these, too,
they frequently sell off the old, leav-
ing only the later and smaller to fur
nish the breeding stock for another
season. Indeed, l have known every
thing to be sold but the very latest,
birds so late and small that males and
females could not be distinguished
until the approach Of the laying sea
son, when. likely as not, one or more
of the supposed hens turned out to be
gobblers-gobblers too immature for
breeding purposes, but which were
either kept or sold for such, says a
Wisconsin turkey raiser in Orange
Judd Farmer. And such pullets as
there were were small, poorly de-
veloped, slow 10 begin laying.
1 always save my best for breeders,
which of the young is usually the
earliest and largest These l select
early, before any are killed or sold.
No matter how good the market or
how great the price or how few 9TH
ers have fit, the best 1 save. 1t is
big, early, well developed birds want
to raise another year, and 1t is big,
well developed birds l must have for
breeders.
/ know there is temptation to sell
first such as will bring the best prices.
especially when there are only a COM
paratively few suitable to sell and
large number to come on later, but
the little gained is much more lost In
the end. To be sure, good breeders
may perhaps be selected from the later
and smaller, but rarely as good as
from the earlier and larger.
AS to whether ! save old or young
depends on individual merit. If there
is enough Of the young better than
the old save all young; If the old Is
the best, unless too old, save that
Usually | save both old and young,
the best Of each, especially the hens.

Wayne county has not had a repre-
sentative in Congress for over thirty
years. Her people now have an OPP
portunity to secure one who is in
every way worthy of their votes. He
is no stranger to Wayne counteans,
having faithfully and honestly serv-
ed Wayne county as Associate Judge,
County Commissioner and also State
Senator in Harrisburg. All of these
positions were filled by him with
credit to himself and honor to his
constituency. He is a man of the
most sterling honesty and integrity,
and will discharge faithfully every
duty entrusted to him. Farmers,
who bear the heaviest burdens Of
taxation, are not represented in the
lawmaking bodies of the country to
the extent they should be, and this
fact affords one of the best reasons
why Mr.. Hill should be elected. He
is also a veteran of the Civil war,
and because he helped as a soldier
to preserve the Union, he deserves
the united support OF his fellow
countrymen.-Adv

A PROPER REPRESENTATIVES,.

The Fourteenth Congressional dis
trict composed of the counties of
Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne and
Wyoming, will elect a man to repre-
sent the district in the sixty-third
Congress on November 5.
In deciding who to support for this
important position there are many
things to be taken into consideration.
The principles of government for
which the candidate stands, and his
ability to so present those principles
as to carry conviction to other mem
bers of the House. Whether the
candidate stands ready to advance
the interests of this district.
After carefully studying the record
of Hon. w. ID. b. Ainey in the last
session of Congress, there can be no
doubt of his fitness for the position
and his ability to defend the interests
of his constituents.
This being a particularly strong
agricultural district, and legislation
affecting the farming and dairying
interests appeals to almost every .vo-
ter in the four counties. AS to Mr.
Ainey's position in these matters
read his speeches on the parcels post
and oleomargarine bills. No strang-
er argument for the farmer can be
found, and that 1t had good effect
is proved by subsequent events.
Mr.. Ainey is a congressman that
the people of the old Wilmot-Grow
district can point to with pride, and
feel assured that their interests will
not suffer with him on guard.
w. ID. B. Ainey is certainly the
right man to represent this district in
Congress, and we predict that his
majority this fall will be double
what 1t was a year ago.-New Mil
ford Advertiser.

Little Farm Hints.

Potash is especially valuable for
wheat, cotton, tobacco, Irish potatoes
and the grasses. 1t should be applied
in fall for wheat.
Select for fall plowing the stubborn,
refractory clay soil and on all fields not
fall plowed have clover crops growing
to be plowed under in spring.
ProliHcness is in every case as i'm
portant a feature as there can be In
seed corn. Hence 1t is very important
that the seed ears selected should not
only be Of best quality in every par
ticular, but should be one of two or
three ears that grow on the stalk.
The best time to plant apple trees
is as soon as most of the leaves have
fallen, which is generally about No
vember. The roots being then in an
active state and the ground still re-
tanning certain amount of heat, they
win form new roots before winter.
which Is material advantage.

The fertility of European soils is
maintained by maintaining the supply
of active plant food and Of organic
matter. A part OF the nitrogen is Sc.
cured from the air, a part from the
purchased feeding stuffs and some
from the nitrogenous fertilizers. The
losses Of potash and phosphoric acid In
the crop are counterbalanced by pur-
chases in feeds and fertilizers. Every
care is taken to prevent loss of plant
food. Leaves. stalks, etc, are either
saved and fed or are used as bedding

VETCH GOOD FOR THE SOIL.

When Piswed Under It Adds Big
Stores of Humus and Nitrogen.
Vetches are not very extensively
grown in the United States, and they
are probably as little known as any Of
the legumlnous farm crops. One rea-
son perhaps is that they are more sen
sitive to climatic conditions than either
cowpeas or soy beans. While filling
practically the same place in the ro-
tation, cowpeas and soy beans have,
therefore, naturally become more wide
spread in their cultivation. The seed
bed for vetch should be well pull
verized and be in firm and moist
condition. 1t Is we'll to seed this crop
broadcast on fall plowing after having
narrowed or disked the field several
times during early spring to destroy
weeds. If there is any danger of weeds
seriously menacing the crop it Is ad-

WINTER VETCH.


visable to sow unusually heavy, 80 that
a thicker growth Of vetch will smother
down the weeds at the very start.
Ordinarily from four to six pecks or
more per acre are sown, and this may
be either broadcasted or drilled. The
crop can also be seeded with clover,
serving as a sort Of nurse crop for the
young clover plant and frequently
gives very good results in this way.
Sown with clover it makes an es-
pecially desirable sheep pasture, and
is also a very excellent soiling crop.
AS a soil builder 1t is fully equal to
cowpeas. On land adapted to 1t 1t
produces an extremely heavy growth
Of vines. These plowed under add
enormous stores OF humus and nitro

GIVE THE WIFE A CHANCE.

Farmers have had cause for
repentance many times, but no
farmer was ever sorry that he
put in waterworks 80 that the
windmill would send water to
the house. When the housewife
can have all the water she needs
by a simple turn Of the wrist
she will appreciate it and recip-
rocate the kindness.

A GOOD EXCHANGE.

A manure pile is not pleasing
to the eye when 1t lies in the
yard, but it can be changed into
corn or hay in year If 1t is
hauled and spread in the right
places. There Is about as much
danger Of poisoning fields with
manure as there is Of poisoning
a harvest hand with food.-Iowa
