CONTINUOUS WHEAT
CULTURE INJURIOUS.

AT Purdue University, Indiana, an
experiment has been running for 26
years comparing continuous wheat
with rotation. In the rotation they
used peas, clover or soy beans to re-
store nitrogen to the soil. With the
continuous Wheat ccropping the organ
&c matter content lowered each year.
On a part f thoe experiment manure
was used to restore this organic mat
ter.
The injurious effect of continuous
cropping is very strikingly shown by
the comparison with rotation crops
i'll which a legume is used.
The fallow system, where clean Gull
ture is practiced has a tendency to
burn out organic matter also. Unless
clean culture is practiced the fallow
system is worse than useless. Farm
ers of Idaho ought to begin consider
ing a system of rotation of crops not
only to conserve the organic matter.
but the fertility and the physical con-
dition of the soil as we'll.

Suddenly the two men closed, surged
back and forth, n determined to
take and the other to hold this mys-
terious box. Dunkers struggled to up
hold his word: not that he really
wanted the box but to prove that he
was strong enough to take it IL he
wanted to. The name on the box
flashed and disappeared. 1t was a kind
of shock to him. He and Blossom went
battering against the rail. Dunkers'
grip slipped and so did Blossoms. The
result was that the box was catapulted
Into the sea. With an agonizing cry,
Blossom leaned far over. He saw the
o oscillate for a moment, then sink
gracefully In a zigzag course, down
through the blue waters. Fainter and
fainter 1t grew, and at last vanished.
I'm sorry. Steve; but yuh wouldn't

triteiy.
Damn you; I'm goin' t. kill y for

1t became a real fight this time, fist
and foot, tooth and nail; one mad with
the lust to kill and the other desper-
ately intent on living. 1t was one of
those contests in which honor and
fair play have no part. But for the
timely arrival of the captain and some
OF the crew Dunkers would have been
badly injured, perhaps fatally. They
hauled back Blossom, roaring out his
oaths at the top of his lungs. 1t took
half an hours arguing to calm him
down. Then the captain demanded to
know what 1t was all about. And
blubbering, Steve told him.

enough. Had the misfortune happened

my kidneys and my back became so
weak that was unable to lift. At
times crick in my loins forced me to
give up work. The kidney secre-
tlons were irregular in passage, high

The real Christmas bells

other bells ring from morning until
night. After which they jangle through

The Christmas doorbell is a great
institution. 1t is the busiest bell of
the lot All day long the doorbell has
pressing engagements. When the
aloorbei rings on Christmas day, every
body gives heed to it's sweet sounds.
And everybody rushes to the front
door as il the house had caught on
IRE, and that was the nearest exit.
The doorbell has everyone in the fam

There are two reasons why the
Christmas doorbell is a welcome Wis

are going to be presented by the caller

doorbell may announce the arrival of
a package.

The appearance of the rack will be
improved by planning a bevel on the
face edges of the hook strip and the
end blocks, as in the illustration. Use
brass screws or galvanized nails for
hooks, and screw a screweye into the
top edge of each end block to hang
the rack by.

The swinging shelf shown in Fig.
is an excellent provision for the sugar

to swing these out from between the
pantry shelves then back into place
after using, without lifting them.

bracket is made of strip two inches
wide and ten inches long (A), with a
block two inches wide and six inches
long nailed to each side Of it at one
