How Clover Bonus
May Be Obtained
Change of Farm Rotations
Method of Bringing
About Results.

Corn and wheat are not the So
called "high-proft" crops they once
were, and consequently this is Il
good time to change farm rotations
permanently to take advantage of
the bonus" offered by a clover
crop. says L. B. Miller, associate
in soil experiment fields at the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
Illinois.
Such a change would insure more
uniform production from year TO
year, with no increase in surplus,
and would slash the bushel costs
of growing corn, Miller said.
Rotation studies over long pc
riod of years here at Urbana show
an average yield Of 81 bushels of
corn an acre under corn and oats
rotation and a 51-bushel corn yield
with a rotation of corn. oats and
red clover on similar unfertilized
land Two farms of the same size,
operated under these systems, would
produce the same number Of BUSH
els of corn a farm. However, the
farm growing the corn and oats ro-
tation would have half of it's land
in corn, while the farm growing the
corn. oats and red clover rotation
would have only one-third of its
land in corn. Similarly, the change
in rotation increased the oats yield
from 31.7 bushels to A bushels an
acre.
Thus, the farm growing one-third
of its acreage in clover would pro-
duce as much corn and almost as
much oats as the other farm, and in
addition would have the clover as n
bonus to be used for feed and for
soil Improvement.
Census reports for 1880 show
that in ten typical corn-6elt cOun-
tries of central Illinois more than
55 per cent of the crop land was in
corn and only 1871 per cent in leg
umes, including tame hay and soy
beans. Parts of many farms in
northern and central Illinois will
grow red clover without lining.
Most of the brown silt loan soils
require only a little limestone or
phosphate TO make them good clov-
er producers"

Heavy Erosion Losses

Soil specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
declare that the annual losses of
plant food due to erosion in this
country amount to 21 times as much
as the plant food consumed in the
production of farm crops. Trans
lated into dollars and based upon
the average cost of fertilizer, the
losses due to erosion amount
to $2,0OO,OO0,0OO annually. OF this
amount. there is evidence to indi-
cate that at least S200,000,0O0 can
be charged up as tangible yearly loss
to the farmers of the nation.-Mis-
souri, Farmer.

the New York branch was the eagle.
All except the New York branch
passed out of existence, and the
Delaware branch, in passing, ap-
parently bequeathed New York it's

Feeds for Beef Cattle

Roughages and other homegrown
feeds play an important part in the
economical production of fat beef
cattle. Many cattle men find that it
pays to grind or roll such grains as
wheat, barley, and grain sorghums
which are too small and hard to be
thoroughly chewed. Coarse grind
ing is better than fine grinding for
feeding purposes. says A. T. Semple
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Grinding or chopping
roughage is not advisable unless the
cattle will consume more roughage
and make such profitable use of it
as to pay for the cost of grinding.

Heard Many Miles.
An interesting phenomenon that
arises to disturb the radio reports
of the pilots is skip distance" a
popularity of short wave sets. The
pilot of a night mail plane flying
from New York to Chicago recent
ly found that the ground station
at Chicago airport could not hear
his calls, while the station at Fort
Worth. 1000 miles away, reported
fine reception. His message and the
answer was relayed through the
Fort Worth station.
Another pilot flying over Red
ding, Calf, was heard at Des
MOines, Iowa, while his dispatcher
at Oakland, only 300 miles away,
could not hear him at all. Preyi-
sion is made to counteract these
unusual conditions by having the re-
porting pilots covered not only by
their home stations but by all other
stations, which are situated at iD-
tervals of $50 miles along the air
ways. Thus, when a pilot is not
heard by his dispatching station, the
message is relaYed to that station
by distant station that has heard
it distinctly. The answer flies back
via the relay.

Correct Dropping Muscles

NTHEN the face falls, how can
w the spirit help but sag?
No doubt there are many women
whose spirits are sagging. My first
thought is to console them. Don't
worry. For worry will only add gray
hairs, and then there will be more
cause for alarm.
There's nothing very lovely about
a chin that carries its double with
it, and none of US seem to have pa
tience with women who allow their
jaw line to take on jowls, their
underchin to become undershot and
so on.
II every woman would start
at twenty or twenty-five to give
herself the necessary preventive
care, it would all be so much
simpler.
However. do not think that you
are confronted with an insurmount-
able task. Perseverance and per-
sistence will do much to lift and
firm the pesky sagging. The first
steps in your treatment are cleans
ing and exercising the skin-two
steps which every woman should
follow, no matter what the type or
condition of her skin or contour.
Next step is manipulating-patting,
molding, and kneading, with a nour-
ishing cream. Choose one COM
pounded of pure ingredients and
rich in delicate oils. Press and lift
the fingers in an upward and out
ward motion. Remember-always
upward and outward on the face.

tive, you will want to leave the

Those Kilkenny Cats

The expression ITO fight like
Kilkenny CATS means. to fight. till
both sides have lost their all; to
fight with the utmost determination
and pertinacity. The story is that
during the Irish rebellion of 1898
Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop
of Hessian soldiers, who amused
themselves by tying two cats to-
gether by their tails and throwing
them across a clothesline to fight.
The authorities resolved to put a
stop to the sport" but the officer
on duty approaching one of the
troopers cut the two tails with
sword and the cats made off. When
the officer inquired the meaning of
the bleeding tails he was told that
two cats had been fighting and had
devoured each other, all but the
tails.
