monument to the value of manure.
A good system Of dairy farming
rests upon the crop rotation, which in
itself restores fertility to the land,
for the raising Of feed IL necessary to
the profitable keeping Of cows. and
the best feeds for them are the legumi-
nous crops, such as soy beans, vetches,
lespedeza and other clovers, velvet
beans. alfalfa. etc. These crops are
prominently soil builders, since they
gather nitrogen. Nitrogen 10 the most
expensive element of fertilizers, and
1t IL q valuable part of q ration for
dairy cows. The rotation of crops and
the manure from the cows continually
going to the land will soon double the
production Of cotton per acre and at
the same time decrease the fertilizer
bills. This increased production will
enable the farmer to raise on smaller
area Of land a. much a. he does at
present, or more.
Dairying furnishes q good home mar.
ket for all the feed crops which can
be grown ON the farm. In rural dis.
tricts and small towns the local mar.
kets for most of these crops are very
limited, and oftentimes the compare
lively small amounts possessed by the
farmer make 1t improbable to trans
port them to the larger markets. This
il especially true II the roads are bad.
In such cases the dairy cows furnish
the means for converting these crops
into finished products which are easily
transported and which bring good
prices.
Dairying also enables the farmer to
utilize for feed and bedding large guam
titles Of roughage, such a. straw, corn
stover, shucks, and coarse and weedy
hay. which cannot ordinarily be sold in
the market.
Two crops can often be grown on
the same land in one season. BY grow.

John Bright's Explanation Of His Su-

The famous English orator. John

such a master of the art Of public
speaking. He answered that the only
help he ever had in that direction he
got by listening to his mother read
the Bible.
She was accustomed to read the
Bible aloud to the children, and he
was so fascinated. he said. by her
way Of reading that he had tried ever
since to initiate It.
John Bright became a great states
man. who carried out the teachings
Of the Bible ia a noble and helpful
life. Such was the power of his elo-

Diet Of Ancient Athletes.

The actual diet used by the ancient
Greek athletes consisted of a certain
kind of cheese. specially prepared
from goats milk. Later on a flesh
diet was introduced. The Romans, in
the early stages Of training. utilized
a vegetarian form Of diet, consisting
of dried figs. new cheese. and boiled
grain. Later on. again. meat was
added to the list. but only one sort
of flesh was thought suitable, and that.
curiously enough. was pork, an edible
absolutely banned by most modern
trainers. Galen most firmly main
tanned that pork contains far more
nutriment than any other flesh food.
It certainly is a very significant. fact
that the ancient athletes complained
that IT, they were forced. when in
training, to live upon anything else
but pork for an one meal their mental
and physical forces alike were ser
iously impaired.
