FARM NOTES BENEFITS oF CROP ROTATION.— Every wbserving farmer knows that cattle can be pastured in a Geld after horses, and will subsist for a time where horses would have starved; and that sheep will do well after the cattle A similar principle applies to the rais- ing of the various farm crops. Wheat may thrive gloriously on the plant food left in the soil by a corn crop; oats on that left by the wheat and corn; pota- toes on what was pot taken by the three preceding crops. But the re- quirements of plant nutrition are no. tke only reasons nor the strongest ones that can be urged in favor of a strict system of erop rotation. The chief ob- jection to planting the same crop year after year in the same ground is that the insects and diseases affecting that crop attack it each succeeding year with Increased force. Frequently the entire soll, and the whole vicinity be- come over-stocked with the insects and the spores of diseases injurious to that particular crop. Shifting the locality of such crop from one field to another near by can afford, at best, but partial protection in this respect. and it were far preferable to select for each crop iubject to insect attacks and diseases a ooa’'ion at the greatest possible dis. ance from any fleld where that crop was grown the year before, If some much crop could be left out of the farm rotation for one or more years alto- Zether, one might be able to starve out she insects and diseases affecting it for some years; and if by concerted action such a measure could be extended to a whole neighborhood, or county, old- fashioned big and clean crops might for a time be grown again, URING FORK.~—The meat is not Jr 88 ios until free from animal beat, oo yet it should not be frozen in the least, as this condition prevents the salt penetrating it.

Then she cast a look of scorn upon papa, and in a tone of inimitable con- tempt, she sald: ‘And do you suppose I'd let a man dress me?’ A Dark Furure,~—Johnpy is a lad whose future gives his parents much apprehension, During the Christmas holidays he tossed a grain of pop-corn on to a twig of mistletoe that was lying on the mantelplece, Later on he sald to his sister: +818, I wonder if some of these deco- rations ain't in pain,” “Now, Johnny, don’t be silly.” “] ain't.
