CROP ROTATION.
Maintains Productiveness Much Bet ter Than Continuous Cropping of Any Kind.

From results of 25 years of crop rotation experiments at the Missouri station, it was found that rotation alone even including legumes is not sufficient to maintain soil fertility pro- viding all crops are removed. Rotation maintains productiveness very much better than continuous cropping of any kind. A rotation of corn, oats. wheat clover, timothy, manured at the rate of seven tons annually, maintains the productiveness of the soil and is also financially profitable. It was found profitable to apply manure to continu- ously cropped land. Continuous fertil- izlng with commercial fertilizers on continuous wheat at rate sufficient to supply plant food for a 40-bushel crop annually maintains the produc- tivtness as high as does the seven tons of manure annually. Continuous timothy with manure has been one of the most profitable treatments.
 In another experiment in which corn and sow-peas were grown together, it was found that when cow-peas are grown with corn either between. the rows or in the row, the nitrates of the soil are not greatly reduced below the amounts present when corn or cow peas are grown alone. Cow-peas grown with corn does not seriously exhaust the soil moistue, although more water is used than in the case of corn alone. The average height of the corn plant is shorted about a foot when cow-peaS are grown in the corn. The number of leaves on the corn plants grown with peas is greater at the time of harvest than on the plants where corn isegrown alone but the yield of corn is slightly decreased when cow-peas are grown with corn.

GRAPE VINES SHOULD I PRuNEp.

It is time that all grape vines were pruned. As a general rule, fruit growers like to get pruning done dur ing the latter part of January or the first part of February. If the pruning is practiced late in the season consfd- erabie bleeding of the vine is likely to ensue. This may not injure trees perceptibly but a few cases have been known where 1t has killed the vines. It is better to prune late rather than not at all; Gbetter to prune at this time of year rather than later in order to save the sap and increase the vitality of the vine for the coming season. Many city and village people have a few grape vines in their side and back

COLD WEATHER HAD
 EFFECT ON EGG LAYING.
Hens at Storrs Produced 15o Less Than in Previous Week-Wyandottes Lead.

Last weeks ultra winter weather had it's effects on the egg production in the laying contest at Storrs; Is inches of snow and 15 degrees below zero is by no means the right combination for un- locking the eggs. To be sure, several pens did remarkably well, but taken all together the birds lost nearly 150 eggs as compared with the previous weeks productiom although they laid more than 400 eggs better than for the corresponding week two years ago.
 O. G. Knights pen of White Wyan- dottes from Bridgeton, R. l., were not only first for the week with 54 eggs but they also set a new high mark for weekly egg production in the present competition. Mrs. Lena c. Bray's pen of Silver Wyandottes from Mt. Yer non, Mo-. was second with a yield of 50 eggs, and Tom Barron's pen of Eng fish Wyandottes from Catforth was third with AS eggs to their credit. Two Connecticut pens of Reds owned by A. B. Brundage of Danbury and Jacob Jansen of North Haven tied for fourth place with AS eggs each
 In reporting the show room scores of the Wyandottes. it is interesting to note first of all that out of ITO birds of this breed entered in the contest, 1-2 of 1 per cent Pullet No. 21S, own- ed by Beulah Farm Stoney Creek, On- tario, is the best White Wyandotte with a score of 93 1-4 points. The best Silver Wyandotte is hen No. BOA, rated S9 1-2; the best Columbian, hen No. 315, s9 1-2, and Buff Wyandotte, hen No. 327, owned by .Dr. N. w. Sam born. Holden, Mass, scored 90 3-4 points The best pen score for the Whites was 915 on the basis of I, 900 for perfect and is owned by Lime Ridge Farm, Poughqaugh, N. r. The second best pen score is 913 and is entered by the National White Wyan- dotte club of New Cumberland, Pa.

tons of manure and fertilizer are necessary for good grain crops.
 Better farming methods will return this much needed organic matter to New England soils, correct sourness and replenish the plant food stores. Grain is high and with western reports of millions of bushels of soft corn and a decreased acreage of winter wheat it surely is the opportunity for New England to grow more corn, wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat at a great CT profit than ever before.
