PLAN SUCCESSION OF CROPS
Not Advisable to Have Second Plant
ing of Same Crop Follow the
First-keep Land Busy.

In planning the location OF crops,
consideration should be given to the
matter of succession, in order that
the land may be occupied as large a
part Of the time as possible. 1t is
not advisable to have a second plant
ing of the same crop or a closely re-
lated crop follow the first. Cabbage
should not follow caulifiower, brus-
sells sprouts, mustard, or kale, for
many of the same diseases and insects
affect all of these crops Tomatoes,
Elephants and peppers should not FOL
low each other. In some sections
three or four crops can be grown on
the same land each year, while in 9TH
er sections two crops are all that can
be grown to advantage. When a crop
is harvested early in the season and
it is not practicable to plant another
vegetable for two or three months, the
land may be planted to cowpeas or
crimson clover. For example, after a
crop OF early cabbage it may not be
desirable to plant another vegetable
crop until late summer or autumn. In
this case it would be desirable to SOW
cowpeas or crimson clover, to be
turned under in preparation for the
fall crop.

ProneriV Named

Not all of the good negro stories
come from the South. For instance,
there is the n told by John Poucher,
Jr., now of Omaha, though formerly
of these parts, who has been visiting
his brother-in-law, Heather Wood,
in Louisville recently. John was a
newspaper mar once, but he is preach
ing now.
He says there is an old darkey in
Omaha, who, strange as it may seem
in that latitude, never was a slave.
The old mar does odd jobs of haul
ing, for which purpose he uses a
gigantic mule of tremendous strength
and equal deliberation and determine
ton. One day John asked the old
man the mules name.
Dat mule am name Cooperation"
was the answer.
What on earth ever made you give
him such a name as that?" John
asked.

time appointed a COMMITTEES of five to prepare
a declaration of Independence of the same pur-
port as Lees resolution, in the hope that the
new doctrine would be unanimously accepted
when the matter should be again taken up in
July.
Policy demanded that a southerner should
be chosen to write the declaration in order to
Increase the probability of it's unanimous adop-
ton. Logically, Jefferson was the man to carry
this work through, for the mastery style of his
pen was well known. With such coworkers,
though, 1t cannot be supposed that he alone was
the author of the resolution; for the RESPONSE
bility had been assigned to all five jointly, and
the counsel and advice of all were necessary.
However, the credit of the phraseology is given
to Jefferson, while John Adams is said to have
given close attention to the revision and the
amending of the resolution. The entire commit
tee helped perfect the documents by making it the
subject of critical analysis. In allowing the
Declaration of independence to be ready before
its assembly on June 2S congress preceded its
schedule.
Satisfied that all we're acquainted with its con-
tents, the legislature then laid the bill on the
table until 1t should come up for discussion by
congress sitting as a committee of the whole.
By trial vote July l only nine colonies voted
as favorable to the resolution.
Final legislative action was therefore deferred
until the next day. That, July 2, was probably
the most memorable of all dates of our national
history. During the stormy debate at that time
the declaration was both attacked and COM
mended.
When the vote of the day was taken it was found
that the declaration had been unanimously in
dorsed by all of the thirteen colonies.
The vote in favor of the declaration was not
sufficient to make the adoption of the new reso-
luton complete, for the next day congress sat as
a committee Of the whole to consider the bill. At
that time slight alterations were made, certain
clauses censuring England were omitted and
Others regarding slave trade were left out. while
other amendments were added.
On July 4 congress assembled again and i'm
mediately resolved itself into a committee for the
consideration of the Declaration of Independence.
When John Hancock. as president of the con-
gress, resumed the chair, Mr.. Harrison, great
grandfather of our former president Of the United
States, reported that his committee had agreed
to the declaration, which they desired him to
report.
what followed this announcement is largely a
matter of surmise, despite the fact that the de-
bate lasted all through the warm day, when dele

Generated is placed.
In building this, place in the exca-
walton for the base a quantity of
loose stones and gravel to insure ade-
quate drainage below the cement. The
inside dimensions of the fire box base
are 2 feet, 3 inches by 1 foot, 81

side dimensions-3 feet, 4 inches by
. feet, 6 inches. While the cement is
still soft, place across the top some

placed. The incinerating chamber is
made of galvanized iron-length, 2
feet, 2 inches; width, 1 foot, 10 inches;
height, 1 foot, 6 inches. In the top
IS cut a round hole protected by a
hinged cover. The galvanized box
has no bottom, but is placed on top
of the crate bars and held firmly in
place while the cement is worked up
around its lower edges. In the back
of this box is an opening for a piece
of stove pipe. When not in use this
pipe may be removed and stored in
side the box. A large wooden box
should be kept over the galvanized
box, when the crematory is not in use,
to protect it from the weather.

Orchids in a Skull,

At the international flower show in
New York the most interesting exhibit
was a moth orchid growing in a hui
man skull. The skull is that of an
old tribal chief of the Philippine
islands, who was killed forty years
ago by Guanu, a SURFACE chief. for
stealing n of the latter's wives.
Guanu kept the skull as a trophy I'M
til his death, when it was placed upon
Guanu's grave as a tombstone. An
orchid took root, and as the flower
bloomed it was zealouslyl guarded by
the natives, who thought the orchid
was the spirit of the chief. In the
year 1902 a traveller passing through
the village saw the freak, stole it
from the natives and sent it to a for
list. The expansion of the roots had
caused the frontal bone to crack. The
roots extend down through the skull,
and can be seen through the nasal
cavity and beneath the jaw.

IS BEST
Only Really Sanitary Way to Dis

To Throw Bodies on Manure Heap Is
to Invite Spread of Disease
Small crematory Is Within
Reach of Poultry Man.
CYy r. PEARI.1

49, ~" LLA<AANALJ
On every poultry plant and around
every farm there is bound to occur
from time to time a greater or tess
number of deaths of chicks and adult
fowls from disease or other natural
causes.
The disposal of these dead bodies
offers a problem to the poultryman,
the correct solution of which may in
many cases become a very important
matter. This is especially true in the
cases of death from contagious dis
eases. The method usually practiced
by the farmer and poultryman for the
disposition of dead is sani-
fary in the extreme. To throw the
dead bodies on the manure pile is to
invite the spread of the disease. Bury
ing is far from being a satisfactory
way of dealing with the matter. I'm
less buried deeply, there is likelihood
that dogs or other marauding animals
will dig out the and scat
ter parts of them on the top of the
ground.
The only really sanitary method of
dealing with dead bodies is to inclner-
ate them. The difficulty of following
this plan is that the farmer usually
does not have any suitable source
of heat ready at hand at all times.
To meet this requirement there has
recently been devised by the expert
ment station of an eastern state a
small crematory, which in point of
cost is within the reach of every poul-
tryman Or farmer.
This crematory is very simple in

LEG WEAKNESS OF CHICKENS
Flocks Ranging From Three to
|. Six Months of Age.

Leg weakness in a flock of half
grown chicks is due to several causes
1t generally makes it's appearance in
focks ranging from three to six
months of age, and the cockerels are
more apt to be affected than the pull
lets.
One of the causes is the overlooking
of fat producing foods, the weight of
the body being increased to such an
extent the legs are unable to properly
support the extra weight thus created.
Poultry raisers bent on saving time to
bring their focks up to broiler weight
often overdo the forcing process to
such a degree as to cause such dis
ease.

PROVIDE BEES WITH WATER
Place Fountain Near the Hives
Honey Secured From GoIdenrod
and Aster Is of Rich Flavor.
(BY B. L. PUTNAMN


When you see the bees clustering
around the watering trough just pro-
vide them a fountain near their hives.
This will save time for them and
there will be no more drowned bees
and horses and other stock will not be
stung as they come from the field,
heated and perspiring-a fit mark for
the angry bee.
Surround a board of convenient size
with a narrow cleat an inch high,
making the shallow trough water
tight. Over this tack a piece of wire
screen, being careful to leave no sharp
edges that will hurt the bees. Fill
with wat and note the enjoyment
with which the winged visitors flock
and drink with no possibility of find
ing in it a fatal draft. They will
drink lots of water now, and if you do
not furnish the pure stuff they will
hunt out the nearest cesspool for
moisture they must have.
Do not worry if your fence row is
bordered with goldenrod and aster.
You may not be impressed with the
esthetic effect admired by your city
cousins, but the bees revel in the
sweets afforded and will, from the
weeds, extract a supply Of honey that
will go a long way toward piecing out
their winter store. Beside, golden
rod honey, when it can be secured in
quantity, is food fit for kings, being
of a rich amber hue and of superior
/ flavor.
Remember that honey must ripen
before it is ready for market. When
first made it is thin and wetery but
after two or three weeks it acquires
the consistency necessary to the first
class product.
Conversely, if kept in a damp place
it soon gathers moisture and becomes
seriously damaged. A cool, dry closet
is preferable to the cellar for storing
