ROTATION OF CROPS.
Kppjin Insect* ami Weed* In Clieclc
and ImproTM Tiltli of Land.
There are certain definite advantages
to U 1 gained from practicing the rota
tion of crops.
All plants have not the same power
cf >xtracting plant food from soils. For
instance, it has been shown that cer-
tain of the leguminous plants can ap
propriate phosphoric acid from miner
al phosphates in a much greater degree
than the cereals. In the English ex
periments of Lawer and Gilbert it was
found that certain root crops were
much more dependent than cereals are
on artificial manuring with phosphates.
Again, some plants can draw food from
a greater depth tiian others by reason
of their having longer roots.
Where certain crops are grown con
tinuously upon a given field, their In
sect enemies are more likely to accu
mulate in dangerous numbers than
where a rotation of crops Is practiced.
Plants grown without interruption
upon the same land are more likely to
suffer injury from certain fungous and
bacterial disease than where other
plants are periodically introduced which
do not serve as favorable host plants
for the propagation of injurious fungi
or bacteria which cause the trouble.
By a rational rotation of crops the
land is kept in far better tilth than
would otherwise be the case. The im
portance of the presence of organic
matter in process of decomposition is
often far greater than is generally sup
posed. Thus the occasional turning un
der of a grass or clover sod or the
plowing In of a green crop is generally
followed by marked physical benefit.
By this procedure fresh food is intro
duced into the soil for the bacteria and
fungi, many of which are highly bene
ficial aside from their direct aid in ef
fecting the decomposition of the vege
table matter. Hecent investigations
are claimed to Indicate that the solu
bility and hence the asslmilabllity of
bone meal may be materially increased
by certain bacteria, which in turn are
dependent for their existence upon the
presence of a proper food supply.
Under a judicious system of rotation
weeds are often eliminated from the
farm more readily than where certain
crops are grown continuously. Fur
thermore, by the subdivision of a farm
into several fields, each following a dif
ferent rotation, or even if following but
one rotation in such a manner as to
give a variety of crops each year, the
labor of the farm is better distributed
than otherwise, and the danger of se
vere losses owing to unfavorable cli
matic conditions in a given year is di
minished.
A successful rotation tested at the
Rhode Island station Is a short one,
covering a period of but three years.
Potatoes are planted on a clover sod.
After they are harvested the soil is
thoroughly fitted for winter rye, which
Is then sown hi September so as to In
sure a good start before the advent of
winter. The following spring common
red clover seed Is sown, preferably late
In March or very early in April. This
is done after the old snow and ice have
melted and If possible after a light fall
of snow. This helps one to make sure
of supplying the entire area with seed.
This manner of seeding to clover Is
usually far more successful here than
late summer or fall seeding. The rye Is
cut for the grain and straw, though if
preferred or deemed more profitable In
special cases it might be cut green for
fodder or for bedding. The succeeding
year the clover Is cut for hay and is
followed the next season by potatoes,
which marks the beginning of the sec
ond course of the rotation. The same
rotation has been advocated by Mr. T.
B. Terry, except that he uses winter
wheat in place of rye.
Improving <lie Cow.
Very little attention lias ever seemed
to be given t<> Improving individual
cows by systemntic care and feeding
through a number of years. But ono
of the southern stations notices great
improvement in young cows which re
ceived grain. Not only In young cows
is tills development noticed, but it also
seems to 1:' true of mature animals.
And this development, which Is not no
ticed during the first year in which the
cow receives grain, Is noticed in the sec
ond year and continues until In many
instances mature but inferior and un
profitable dairy animals develop into
very profitable cows for dairy pur
poses. From the record of these cows
It 1h thought to bo a question If the
quality of a dairy cow does not depend
almost hh much ou the feeding as on
the breeding. It Is also a question if
cows which have a more or less pro
nounced beef tendency cannot with
proper management be developed Into
profitable dairy cows.
Sumnlrn Leaf Under Cbeeieclolb.
Director Jenkins, reporting the ex
periment of growing Sumatra leaf un
der cheesecloth shade In Connecticut,
lays iu New England Homestead:
The cover protected the tobacco leaf
from all Insect pests, excepting only
the cutworms, which did some Injury
immediately after setting. It was dlfll
cult to find a single damaged leaf In
the whole piece at harvest.
The temperature under the shade
was noticeably higher than outside, a
difference at one time of 0 degrees be
ing noted. The air was also apparent
ly very much more moist under the
shade. The surface of the ground did
not dry out nearly as fast. At one
time owing to lack of rainfall the crop
outside practically stopped growing,
ami the surface was dry as powder,
but at that time tinder the shade the
tobacco was growing as thriftily as
ever, with no sign of distress

"Yes, I had to let hliu go," replied the
boss barber to the regular customer
when the latter asked an explanation
of the absence of his pet barber.
"Why?"
"Well, he Insisted oa raising whisk
ers."
' UaislDg whiskers? Great Scott!
Isn't this a free country, wTiere a man
may raise whiskers If he so chooses?"
"Yes, this is a free country, and a
man can do pretty much as he likes,
but there's one thing he can't do and
work for me, and that's it."
"Why do you object?"
"For three reasons. The first is that
he was a rather cross looking fellow
anyway. Whiskers would make him
look crosser. In the second place, to
raise whiskers it would be necessary
for him to look like a Weary Willie
for two or three weeks. In the third
place—and this is reason enough, even
if there were no other—if he should
succeed In raising a good looking
beard, he would set an example that
might be followed by some customers.
The result would be that instead of
getting shaved three or four times a
week, or even every day. they would
content themselves with getting their
whiskers trimmed once a fortnight or
once a week. Such a move would seri
ously affect the cash box and for that
reason is not to bo tolerated.
"How many barbers have you seen
wearing beards? Every barber realizes
the force of my objection. Oh, yes,
every man has constitutional rights
that all should observe. So have I."—

Thomas Jefferson na a Letter Writer.
Mr. Jefferson probably wrote more
letters with his own hand than any
other public man that ever lived. The
extent of his correspondence may be
inferred from the fact tiiat 20.000 let
ters neatly folded and briefed were
preserved by him and found carefully
filed away at the time of his death,
with copies of the replies sent to more
than Ki.OOO. These, however, were on
ly a small portiou of his correspond
ence, as he retained only those he con
sidered of future usefulness or impor
tance.
Stenography was not Invented at that
time. Every one of his letters waa
written with his own hand and with
great care, although after breaking his
wrist while minister to France it he
came a great labor to him. His pen
manship was email, plain and legible,
every letter being perfectly formed, and
his account books are kept in so small
a hand that many of the pages cannot
be read without a magnifying glass.
Jefferson was ambidextrous. He
could write equally well wltti either
hand. When his wrist was broken, he
learned to write with his left hand,
which became as skillful as the other.
It would have been Impossible for him
to have carried on his extensive corre
spondence without being able to re
lieve his right hand at Intervals.—Chi

Divided the Remedy.
The Philadelphia Record tells a story
of a physician of that city who was
called to Bee an old Irishman and his
wife, down with colds. He advised
quinine and whisky as on antidote.
"You must both take it," he said.
"Take it every three hours—two grains
of quinine and a swallow of whisky."
The next day he called again. The
man was up and about, but his wife
was In bed. "Did you follow my In
structions?" esked the doctor.
"To the letther," replied the hus
band.
"How much quinine have you left?'
was the next question.
"Sure, 01 t'ink she have taken th'
whole av it," said the man.
"And didn't you take It, too?" asked
the doctor.
"Divll th' bit," was the reply. "Be
gorrah, It kept me busy tnltln th' whis
ky every toime she took a pill, an sur«
she's in bed an Ol'ni up."
The Hnniorun« I'rimate.
There is a story told of a candidate
for the pulpit who was preaching an
ex tempore trial sermon before the
late Archbishop Tait and Dean Stan
ley.
In his extreme nervousness he be
gan iu a stammering way, "I will di
vide my congregation Into two—the
converted and the unconverted."
This proved too much for the pri
mate's sense of humor, and he ex
claimed, "I think, sir. as there are only
two of us, you had better say which la
which."—London Standard.
