LeEuminous crops. prominent among which are cowpeas and sweet clover are highly valuable as builders of soil fertility. This fact cannot be too greatly emphasized by teachers of agriculture
 Legumes increase the yield of other crops. An experiment showed that where crop of oats followed a crop of Cowpeas, the yield of oats was IT bushels per acre greater than where oats followed oats.
 The experiment also proved the great value Of sweet clover as a green ma 1ure crop. Sweet clover adds great quantities of nitrogen and humus to the soil. Its roots are tender and de- cay very rapidly, and the tops of the sweet clover plant are as rich in nitro =es as kIll-grown red clover Ex- periments to test the effect of green maturing with sweet clover on the succeeding crop of potatoes have. been conducted in this and other countries In the early part of May, 1889, sweet clover seed. at the rate of q pounds per acre. was sown in rye. The rye had been preceded by wheat and the wheat by rape The green, sweet clover was plowed under to a depth of 10 inches in the summer of 1890 with the following results:

 ferent Maturing.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain 100 much alkan, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain nulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very heap, and heats the most expensive soaps as anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy lather cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and Sazdruff

FALL TURNfpS.
Used In Any One of Four Ways They
 Are a Profitable Crop.

The interest in potatoes. corn and other food crops should not cause us to forget the humble turnip. It con- tains only half as much dry matter as the potato but is nevertheless an eN- cellent food and may frequently be sold to good advantage. It has the further advantage of being very cheaply grown and of keeping well during the winter. Very little seed is required, it being almost impossible to SOW too thin.
 poses: q) winter vegetables; @ winter feed for live stock @ cash crop, particularly when potatoes are high; (4) a soil improver in orchards, etc. Used in any of the above ways,
 they are usually a profitable crop, when the low cost of production is considered

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.

others self-fed-some on pastures and others in dry lots.
 The pigs were started in the ex- pertinent with an average weight of 90 pounds, and were fed to make an average gain of 150 pounds a pig for each lot. The self-fed pigs in the dry lots were ready for market earlier, re- quired less labor, gave greater re- turns for the feed consumed, and based upon averages of the Kansas City market for the last five years would have sold for 9 cents more per hun dredweight at the time they finished in the experiment.
 Adding to the gain in the market price the saving in feed which amounted to 99 cents head. and the saving of labor which, at the lowest figure, when as many as a carload of hogs are fed, would amount to one hour pig. there resulted a gain of about S1.69 a head.

WHAT HOLLAND COUNTY
 FARMERS ARE DOING
All Crops Except Hay and SiIage Corn
 Show Increased Production.

A summary of crop production for Holland county has just been tabula- ted from the census returns which were taken in the spring. Every crop with the exception of hay and silage corn shows an increased production, say declared County Agent Clifford. Hay has decreased by sos acres and silage corn 26 acres. There is total net increase in acreage this year of 1882 acres over 1917. Most of this increase is in the line of small grains. The decrease in the production of hay tends to show that there might be de- crease in the amount of milch cows and of live stock in the county; al though the increase in clover, alfalfa, an other corn forage that will be left from corn raised for grain shows that there will be an actual increase in food for cattle over that of 1917. The increase of all, crops is per cent. This net increase would tend to show that land which had not been under cultivation, such as pasture land. etc., had been taken Up. This means that nearly 1000 additional acres has been put under cultivation in the county. The summary of, crops is as follows: Hay. 21a per cent; Clover, increase 21 per cent; Alfalfa increase 66 per
 
 Rye increase 55 per cent; Barley in crease 36- per cent; Buckwheat in crease 3S per cent; Winter wheat in crease 290 per cent; Spring wheat in crease 220 per cent; corn for grain increase 19 per cent; corn for si- lage decrease IF per cent; Potatoes increase 6 per cent; Tobacco in crease 2S per cent; Truck and Garden Crops increase 26 per cent.
 Work in Columbia.
 Tn order to take care of the increased amount of grain which is being raised in the town of Columbia, it was thought necessary to form a com mittee whose. duty would be to look up. the available tl1reshine machines, and. make sure that there would be enough to thrash all the grain raised. This committee has found that there is really only one thresher in the town which was available for this work Also that this thresher, under the or dinary system of working would not be sufficient to care for all the farm CTS. However. by working out 9 route whereby some of the smaller amount of grain. can be brought tc one farm and there the machine can | care for them all with only one set 1 ting-up, the problem can be solved | It may be advisable. for other towns l to make similar arrangements Any such arrangements should be made al ] once, and the Holland county farm bu- reau is willing to cooperate in any possible way. ...- .t--..

Another Use for Cement.

Through the shortage of structural
steel, roof trusses of timber incased in
cement have been used for buildings of
n Texas oil refinery. After putting in
place, the trnsses were wrapped with
a layer of light waterproof building
paper, and sheets of expanded metal,
with half-inch diamond mesh, were
fitted around the paper, and held five
eighths inch from the surface by chairs
and nails. A coating of one and a half
inches Of cement mortar was then ap-
piled with cement guns. The roof was
covered with one and half-inch
monOlithic slab. built in place by the
use of wire-mesh reinforcing, and &C.
ment mortar applied by cement guns
from below against wood panels, which
were removed after "a hours. The &C.
ment surface was given final coating

Honorinu Bishop Brewer.

A touching incident with reference
to the death of the late Bishop Brewer
recently came to light through an
American missionary located in re-
mote mountain district Of Montana.
When the belated news Of the death Of
Bishop Brewer came to certain wOm-
an in this isolated settlement, she hoist
ed an American flag at half-mast over a
little schOolhouse some distance away,
In token of his death. The woman did
not belong to the church. but she had
known and respected the bishop for
many years, and it had been her GUS
tom through all the years to travel
many miles to the nearest mission
point TO attend the services when the
bishop made his visitations each year.
Without respect to custom she kept
this flag there for over month, and
not until the visit of the missionary
was the significance explained and the
story related.

Russian Iron Ore.

Iron ore is found in many parts of
Russia, although 1t is mined in but
few localities. In the Ural range there
are whole mountains of rich ore, con.
tanning from 80 to 20 per cent of iron.
Among these ore mountains are Blag-
odat, Magnitnaya and Vysokaya. De-
spite its apparent accessibility, iron
ore in this vicinity is not mined very
extensively. The Ural deposits yield
ed, in 1913, 1,S32,O 600 tons of iron ore
out of the total 9,692, 300 for the whole
of Russia.
Besides these, silver. copper, lead,
zinc ores are extant in various parts
of Russia, and these deposits are prob
ably sufficient to supply her needs ;
however, the development of the min
ing industry is insufficient as yet to
make the yield meet the demand. She
is compelled to import large quantities
of the ores needed In her metallurgy,
while her own wealth is lying dormant.

GOOD IN old DAYS

And Prominent Among the Things II
Lacks Is That "NeiohborIiness"
That Meant So Much in
the Byeone Years.

Neighborllness Is a product of rural
localities that deserves transportation

that IL may continue to grow. "Who,
then, Is my neighbour" the man "in
the city pent" asks himself, as he re-
CARDS row Of similar house fronts
and reflects on the fact that he has
only nodding acquaintance at best
with the majority of the inmates.
Independence is fostered by the
conditions of living In the country. Or
dinarily we do not need the help of
the next house, near or far. But let
fire come, or destructive storm, or
a predatory visitor. or serious ILL
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels.
City life is often n battle of the
strong, because there are crowds and
there are many mouths 10 feed and
many shutting feet to be shod. If we
let ourselves think of It. the vast null
titude of identities striving to estab-
fish themselves is almost terrifying.
Where did so many people come from?
Where are they going? How are they
to find a lodging for the night? Each
of the moving swarm is the center Of
a circle Of friends. The humblest, I'M
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that
bind him to earth and make life
in degree-dear to him.
