Alleged Danger to Traffic.

The public utilities commission TODAY
decided to ask the Capital Traction Com
pany to take steps to correct what is
regarded as a dangerous traffic condition
at the approach to the company's car
barn at Both and NJ streets northwest
Cars entering the barn by the way of
the east door make a loop and emerge
from the west door. as a result of which
west-bound traffic, it is claimed, is en-
dangered by the cars coming upon them
suddenly Recently, it is claimed, cars
have narrowly escaped colliding with the
White House automobile conveying the
President. The commission suggests that
fiagman be stationed at the west door
of the barn to warn traffic

people have made huge fortunes by playing &C
cordiAg to system. There is the case OF Monte
Carlo Wells, who won 100000. Also it was but
three years ago that Mr.. Huntley Walker left
the Casino 100000 richer after playing according
TO a system which he declares took him fifteen
years to perfect,
Five seasons ago an immensely wealthy Amer
lean, Colonel Powell, the owner of mines in Mex
fco won $35OO00 A Russian count once carried
away $4,000 as the result Of nights play.
But in spite of all these huge sums which have
been won, the bank holds its own against all sys-
TENS, plungers, and porsevering gamblers; and,
as a witty proverb invented In the days of M.
Blanc, the founder Of the Casino truly says: "The
black often loses, the red often loses but white
(Blanc) always wins" And his winnings range
nom 100000 to $75OO,000 every year.
More people go to Monte Carlo now than ever
there did before There is more play and conse-
quently more money IL lost The difference is
that roulette is now being played by the public
generally and not by few special gamblers; and
1t follows that there is more silver seen on the
tables than formerly, when it was all gold aud

Monte Carlo itself may be described as a de-
lghtfu little resort Of hotels, fashionable villas
and jewelers. shops, II the midst OF flower gar
dens. From more than one Of the more fashion
able hotels the visitor can now walk from his
bedroom straight into the Casino-a boon for
ladies in evening dress The gardens attached to
the Casino itself are unquestionably one Of the
finest sights of the Riviera. They are always a
blaze Of color. Then there the old castle, the
present residence Of che ruling prince. and the

ROTATION OF GREAT BENEFIT
More Animals Must Be Kept to Pro-
duce More Manure for Proper
Supply Of Organic Matter.

CBy r. G. DONEGHUE, North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
While all the causes of low yields
Of the small grains cannot be removed
practically all that are Of immediate
Importance con be controlled in large
measure by a well-planned system OF
crop rotation When crops are grown
in rotation and proper tillage methods
are followed, they will suffer less from
dry weather than when they are grown
continuously.
Crop rotation is usually Of more i'm
portance than the methods Of tillage
used in this respect, although both are
important. In most rotations more
roughage is produced than can be dis
posed Of by the work stock on the
farm. Hence, more animals must be
kept and more manure produced to
return to the land to keep UP the sup
ply OF organic matter The organic
matter in the soil may also be main
tanned by growing grasses and le-
gumes (clover. alfalfa. peas) in the ro-
tation.
Inasmuch as not enough manure can
be produced on farm to keep up the
organic matter, no system OF cropping
is complete unless 1t contains one OF
these crops. The legumes have the
additional value Of being able to in
crease the nitrogen content Of the sod
ON which they are grown.

Money From Hogs.

The Missouri experiment station
has given out the results Of an expert
ment lasting three years which shows
large profits from feeding hogs on
forage crops.
The average income per acre from
clover forage was $S411, from rape
and oats s2S.63, from corn and cow
peas $2s.OS and from bluegrass s17.7l
The estimates are all made on the
basis Of 60 cents bushel for the
corn fed and six cents a bushel for the
pork produced. The results are I'm.
nortant as indicating what may be
accomplished when the hogs them
selves do all the harvesting.

The rock on which the Casino is built was for
merly called by the Monagasques, or natives, the
"Plain of the Robbers" and here the system of
plumber is still carried on, though In manner
more consistent with modern ideas.
When first built the Casino contained none of
the art treasures the mirrors, and the gliding
that ornament the building Of today, and consist
ed solely OF the atrium gambling room, and
reading room In order to people this arid des-
ert those employed to exploit the Casino actually
offered free land to anyone who would build
villas or hotels thereon but the offer was refused
and the land once to be had for nothing Is to-
day Of priceless value. The gambling and con-
cert rooms OF the Casino are marvels of profuse
decoration and the concert room is remarkable
for its painted ceiling which is the work of four
celebrated painters.
Access is easily obtained to the gambling sa-
looms All you have to do is to present your
visiting card at one counter when the clerk hands
YOU the necessary permit which passes you
through. The same formality has to be gone
through with every time you enter. There are
now twelve roulette tables in full swing, and

ing should be selected from the
growth Of the last season. Terminal
twigs were formerly used almost ex-
clusiyely, and are still preferred by
some propagators. But, as the bud

duces a strong shoot, ordinarily dry
ing up and falling off instead, termi-

large extent.
Obviously, two scions placed in one

apt to follow. A single scion affords
