HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found 1t Hard to Reconcile
Eulogy With Her knowledge Of
Dead Husband

An old Irishman who had made a
good deal of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct, lived in Chicago. His Gus.
tom was to go downtown about once
month on a spree. and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years,
was blind
Finally he died, and his children
gave him fine funeral. They had
plenty of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what was going on un-
til the eulogy was pronounced. She
listened. The priest referred to the
dead man in glowing terms. After
about ten minutes Of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:

WHAT "CROP ROTATION" DOES
One Of Simplest and Most Practical
Ways by Which Income Of Farm
May De Increased.

The rotation OF crops Ia one OF the

which The income OF the farm may be
increased without greatly adding 10
the cost OF operation.
The rotation OF crops IL the alterna.
tion OF the three general classes OF
farm crops: namely, grain crops.
grass crops and cultivated crops. so
that crop from each OF the three
classes will appear on each field at
least once during each cycle OF the
rotation.
Under grain crops" such crops as
wheat. barley fax and millet may be
classed, IN their relation TO the soil.
Millet. though grown for hay. has
practically the same effect on the soil
as a grain crop. These crops deplete
the soil OF vegetable matter. allow
weeds to grow, and have tendency
TO deplete the productive power Of the
land.
Under grass crops" may be includ.
ed timothy, bromus aud the cloyers.
Though the elovers are not true
grasses. they have heavy root sys-
tens. and add vegetable matter to the
soil The olovers also add nitrogen
TO the soil: but their chief value In 9
rotation seems to be due to the fact
that their heavy rootsystems MI the
soil with vegetable matter, thus max
ing II more hospitable to plants.
Under cultivated crops may b
placed corn, potatoes and root crops
Owing TO their cultivation during
growth, these crops have a cleaning
effect on the soil. They are. however
exhaustive OF soil fertility, because this
constant cultivation encourages the
liberation OF large quantities OF plant
food. These crops leave the soil II

crops.

that will not exhaust the high fertil-

cropping with onions will cause the
land to become diseased and filled
with insect enemies.
One OF the most important things
in onion-culture is to mix the fertilizer
with the soil well. On land that is not
thoroughly drained, pillow in beds, leav-

to carry on surplus water. These
beds may be 70 to 15O feet in width.

The bushel box which the Boston
vegetable growers use for marketing
produce has much in its favor. When
making up load nothing is easier to
stow than box as one can be placed
above another to any desired height,
the bottom of each serving as a cover
for the one below it. Vegetables can
be packed in it much easier than in a
basket, as 1t is of uniform width from
top to bottom, and no allowance need
be made for slanting sides, But these
advantages apply equally well to the
bushel crate, which has an additional
advantage because Of the Slated
