HOW ROTATION IS PLANNED
In Order That System May Be Perma-
nent 10 10 Necessary to Main
tain Fertility Of Soil.

(By r. c. DONDGHUE, Professor Of Ag-
ronomy, North Dakota Agricultural
College.)
The planning Of . complete rotation
for any farm consists of the placing
Of the crops which give the greatest
net income for the region in question
in such sequence in the cropping sys-
tenn that the largest net income for
the farm will be obtained. In order
that the system may be permanent, it
is necessary that some provision be
made to maintain the fertility of the
soil for future productiveness. In
planning a rotation the following
principles should be kept in mind:
First, cultivated crops, like corr and
potatoes, clean the land of weeds, on
serve soil water and improve the ply
steal condition of the soil. Second,
the legume crops, like clover and al
falfa, keep down weeds, build up the
organic matter in the soil and add nj
trogen to it. Third, grass crops, like
timothy and bronze grass, keep down
weeds and build up the organic mat
ter In the soil, but add no important
element Of plant food. Fourth, wheat
and barley r relatively weak feeding
crops and should be placed in the most
favorable place In the rotation. They
allow the accumulation Of certain
weeds and allow the soil to get into
poor physical condition. Fifth. oats

able development of poor physical
conditions in the soil. Sixth, dax Is
a weak feeder and demands q good
place in the rotation. As q rule IL
does best on sod and when given this
place in the rotation does not seem
to injure the land for small grain pro-
duction. When seeded on old land on
which a rotation has not been foil
lowed it fails to improve the land for
wheat production. It should not ba
seeded twice In succession on the
same land, and when it Is grown a
period of even or eight years should
intervene before it is seeded again.
Seventh, clover does best when seed
ed whit a nurse crop in the more hui
mid portions of the state. Barley or
wheat make very good nurse crops,
Eighth, alfalfa does best when seeded
without a nurse crop on land that
grew a cultivated crop the previous
year. Ninth, potatoes do best when
planted on clover or alfalfa sod.
Tenth, manure gives the best results
when applied to pasture land that ia
included In the rotation. The next
best place 10 to pillow it under for corn.
In either case the conditions are more
favorable for decay than they would
be II the manur were plowed under
for small grains. Eleventh, the rota,
ton should oe so planned that the
seeding and harvest Of the various
crops will come in such order that aa
few crops as possible will demand at,
tention at the same time. Twelfth,
the rotation should be 80 arranged
that the income from the farm will be
uniform each year. Thirteenth, the ro-
tation should be 20 arranged that

there will be economy in fencing and
In the cultivation Of the various fields.
Fourteenth, the rotation should be
such that there will be SUFFICIENT feed
for the various classes Of live stock
kept on the farm. Fifteenth, every
rotation should contain a cultivated
crop. q legume or grass crop, and not
more than three or four small grain
crops. In live stock farming less than
this number should be grown. i

ALFALFA HAS MANY VIRTUES
VIII Do ~ Well 40 Any Perennial
Forage Crop In Dry YeaE-Is
Orouth Resistant.

tBy l. R. .wALDRON, Superintendent
Sub-Station. Dickinson, N. d.
This is a legume that is worthy our
attention in this brief article. Alfalfa
has many Of the virtues of clover and
in some points, su1passes that plant.
Like clover, it IL an enricher OF the
soil.
Alfalfa has been discussed 90 ex-
%tensively in these pages that it need
not occupy much of my space.
When given proper cultural treat
ment, 1t indicates a high quality Of
drouth-resistance and associated with
this resistance to dry conditions, one
Is struck with the way the plant re-
spends during q wet year.
It will do as we'll as any perennial
forage crop in a dry year and will do
much better than any such crop in q
wet year. The problem Of getting al
falfa successfully through our winters
Is no longer a serious one, as we have
strains which r very resistant to
cold. The farmers Of the Dakota EN-
pire should not fail to appreciate the
fact that their soils are already pre-
pared for alfalfa, in the way Of sweet
ness and drainage. This is a much
different condition than obtains over
much Of the humid lands of the east.
And, too, 1t should not be forgotten
that alfalfa is perhaps the only plant
of the legumes or Of the small grasses
that a be grown in cultivated rows
In a profitable way. Fl.
Now with the cold and drouth re-
sistance of alfalfa, associated with It's
high cropping powers, we have a very
satisfactory hay plant, remarkable
alike for its richness, palatability and
digestibility. h.

But George Of orcsrc Saw the Humor
Of ths Situation.
An amusing story is being told of
King George Of Greece. one of the
combatants in the war of the Balkan
states.
When he goes to Aix-les-B ains, his
favorite holiday resort In France, he
very often visits the casino In the even
ings. On these occasions one Of tile
hotel omnibuses is sent for his private
use. and in this he always drives back
to the hotel. One evening a lady who
was leaving the casino Immediately in
front of him stepped into the omnibus.
The kings equerry made u motion as If
to prevent her. but the king stopped
him.
"Never mind" he said; "she's not in
the way"
The lady, having noticed the attempt
to stop her progress and overhearing
the kings remark. glared haughtily at
the two men, elevated her shapely eye
brows and tilted her pretty nose rather
high in the air as the two gentlemen
took their seats.
The omnibus started. and after a
minute OF two the king addressed some

sdcal time. He was full Of oddities and
had a reckless spirit Of daring. The
holiness of his language and action
once drew upon him the displeasure OF
Louis XVI. who banished him from
Paris. but he came back on q festal day
and was seen in the very face of the
court walking about a race course. The
king winked at the %escapade. Such a
culprit was incorrigible.
But one Of the most absurd Of his an
tics had to do with the Prince D.. a
very dull courtier. against whom he
has a grudge. One day the count ap-
piled very gravely to a physician, ask
ing IL it were possible for a person to
die Of ennui.
"such a thing" said the doctor,
~would be very singular and very rare"
But what l want to know" said the
count. "is would 1t be possible"
"Well." answered the doctor, "a long
continued state Of ennut might induce
some disease. such as consumption. and
In that sense it might cause the pa
tents DEATH"
On this the consultation was written
down and signed at the counts request
and the fee paid.
Next he went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make a legal
complaint against a man who by any
means whatsoever had formed a design
against his life. The advocate assured
him that there was not the least doubt
OF it and in his turn signed a declara-
ton. Armed with these documents.
the Count de L~auraguais instituted
criminal proceedings against Prince D..
who, he declared, had formed the de-
sign of firing him to death.
or course the suit ended in laughter,
but he had had the satisfaction Of en-
raging his enemy.

Acquiring a Reputation.

Archbishop Howley, who lived in the
eighteenth century, most unjustly got
the reputation of swearing like a troop
er. The explanation is that the Duke
Of Cumberland, who fought the battle
Of Culloden and who was u~nspeakably
profane, once went in quest of the pri-
mate to get his assistance in defeating
q certain bill which he disliked. He
returned to the house of lords, saying:
TITS all right, my lords. I've seen the
archbishop. and he says he'll see the
promoters to - before he'll vote for
the - BILL" AS q matter of fact, all
the profanity had been supplied quite
in the ordinary run of conversation by
the duke.

ask, down to 5000. which I may be
willing to pay for the privilege OF

If he did not want to undertake q
commission Lenbach would quote an
extravagant price as a simple way out.
This happened in the case of a Berlin
banker. "But surely that is too much"
