of our common crops, or about forty
parts In a thousand, forage beets or
mangels thlriy-flve parts, potatoes
twenty parts, sugar beets eighteen
parts, clover hay nineteen parls, beans
thirteen partsaud the cereals five parts.
To this tVe will add that the cereal
grains of a well-grown crop usually
show about four times as much of
potash In the straw as In the grain,
thus us the straw Is the heavier, re
quiring iweuty-llve to thirty parts of
potatd) for each one thousand parts
of grain, beans and peas require much
more in the stalk than In the seed,
and the potash In the stalk of the
potato is a greater proportion than In
the tuber, but the weight being less,
the whole does not vary much from the
above .estimate. The tobacco gives
a better leaf for cigar making when
sulphate of potash Is used than when
muriate; or some of the cheaper grades
are lined. On certain soli the sulphate
ulso produces a better potato for table
use, while ou others mere does not
seem to bo much difference in results.
Some of our sandy soils are well sup

Mixed Grain und Cnt Hone.
My experience with cut bone for six
years Is that the oest results will. not
bo obtained from any HocU, cither In
the show room or in filling tho rgg
basket, without it. It can be fed with
benefit three times a week. 1 usually
allow what I call a small handful to a
half dozen birds ut one time, it Is
easy to tell after a little experience
how much the fowls need. Most of our
bone cutters now shuve tho bone, and
care should be taken In placing bone In
the uiuchlue so that the knives cut
across Instead of lengthwise. If
cut lengthwise, splinters, and some
times lung, sharp pieces, will be found
nnd gobbled by the fowls. And thlc.
If continued, even If good gilt is fed,
will surely produce crop bound fowls.
If freth bono is not to be had, n sub
stitute of beef scrap or beef meal
mixed with coin, oais, middlings and
bran for one feed each day, give
good results. Usually the scraps ure
not used rniiro thau three times a
week. Fowls must get two feeds of
sound grain each day' besides the
ground feed, but It need not be all
corn. Mixed grain gives best results.
With regard to utility and fancy, I
always found the finest show birds
In my yards to be the best utility
birds. This talk about cross-breeds
Is all bosh. Of course, there may be
some who may get the (nil end of a
pure breed nearly exhausted for want
of care. From such they would not get
the results expected, hence, would say
pure breeds were no good. On the
other hand, where such arc Intelligent
ly bred and properly cared for, they
usually make the Ideal fowl both for

Impress this upon your memory In

of wheat that yielded about half what
it should, because tho planting was In
trusted to a boy, and ho carelessly set
the seeder too low, and of course the
stand of wheat was poor. The cost
of plowing, seeding and reaping was
aa much as for a good stand, and the
threshing little less. Bo for a lack of
a few more bushels of eed wheat,
there wai a direct loss to the farmer
of perhaps two hundred bushels.

Ttte Rotation of Crops.
Tho loud gives the greatest crops
when the farmer provides plant foods
liberally and rotates the crops grown.
When the form Is forced to yield to
its fullest capacity there Is taken from
the soil those elements thnt principal
ly constitute its riches or fertility, nnd
unless the soil Is provided with ma
terials containing those elements of
fertility It will, In the course of time,
fail to repay for the labor and capi
tal required In its cultivation. Many
farmers are aware of that fact, and
use barnyard manure nnd commercial
fertilizers In order to supply the de
ficiency. The farmers have within
their power, however, the meaus by
which the soil can be recuperated nnd
restored to fertility, and every enter
prising fanner takes advantage of such
opportunities In order to bring bis farm
to the highest degree of productive
ness. The practice of some system of
rotation of crops Is now considered es
sential to good farming, and experi
ence teaches that nothing will equal a
rotation of crops in maintaining fertil
ity, in proportion to cost, although
quicker methods may be resorted to
If the expense is not a matter of con
sideration in the work.
It Is not dlttlcult to understand how
rotation of crops benefits the land, for
plants, like animals, differ In their
modes of existence nnd capacity for
feeding. When a Held Is occupied by
clover the growing or matured crop,
wlien plowed under or fed to stock on
the farm, and then returned to tho
farm in the form of manure, udds addi
tional plant food to the soil. When
fed to animals only n portion of tlie
crop Is returned, but when the whole
crop is plowed under then the quanti
ty Is large. If a crop of clover is too
valuable for plowing under there is the
advuutugo of the sod ami roots adding
more fertility to the soil. Clover Is a
crop that demands both lime and pot
ash, and requires but little applied
nitrogen to make growth, but by shad
ing the soil nnd utilizing the free
nitrogen of the ulr, assisted by bacteria
In the soil, It returns to the soil more
nitrogen than do those crops to which
nitrogen must be applied. As clover
takes from the soil considerable lime
and potash, when the crop Is plowed
uiider then these mineral elements are
in better condition for uhb by the
next crop, while a larger proportion of
nitrogen Is also left In the sell than
existed before the clover Is growu.
Experience bus taught farmers: that
wheat and com are capable of filling
places in the rotation, and hence ou
some farms there Is a system of rota
tion by which grain, clover and pota
toes ore used, wheat and corn being
nearly always grown wheu clover is
the mainstay of the source of fertility
lu the rotation.
Uotntiou Is also Intended to destroy
weeds ou furnis. In some sections tho
practice is to have a 'hoe crop; that is
in addition to tho use of tho cultiva
tor the boo is used ut least onee over
the cornfield in order to more thor
oughly eradicate weeds, but farmers
object to the labor of hoeing corn,
and resort to the growing of potatoes,
cnbbuges, turulps or carrots if the boo
is necessary. Those who use the hoe
tu the cornfield claim that, while tho
cost of labor Is greater, yet the weeds
are more completely removed. But no
system of rotutlou can bo said to be
complete, however, that does not In
clude some kind of crop that requires
the hoe, such as carrots or potatoes,
while In some countries, such as Eng
land, the rotation also Includes the
hurdling of sheep on the ground, tur
nips and rape being growu for tbe ani
mals to feed off the land. Farmers
should not, therefore, use a narrow
system of oration, but aim to employ
as many crops as possible, as tbe lund
will then auffer less from loss of plant
food and the fertility of the soil will
be more easily inulntalued. Philadel

ite'.e Engineer Bontl'e Talk ,
TUB Illustrated lecture on good
roads building under State
aid laws, given by State En
gineer Bond, was evidently
most Interesting to the good sized nil
dlence, who showed It by asking many
questions, which were promptly and
satisfactorily answered. State Enzl-
neer Bond sowed good seed, which Is !
bound lo grow nnd develop Into a unan-
moos demand ror oetter mgnwnys. He
showed the necessity for them, the
economy and profit of I hem, the com
fort and luxury of having them. He
showed whnt the State was doing to
encourage good road work, nnd what Is
of more Importance lu this section, how
the failure of a county to take advan
tage of the State gift entails on It the
burden of doing for other counties
without benefiting itself. The valu
able facts nnd figures given by Mr.
Bond relating to what It would cost to
have good roads In any town la Jeffer
son County, only about twenty-three
cents on ench $1000 of valuation, dis
poses of the argument against Improve
ment. The average funnor thinks
when he Is told that a good macadam
road costs from $0000 to $S00O per mile,
that he has to pay the whole bill, and
the thought naturally staggers him,
nnd he Is opposed to such a proposition.
He thinks It will confiscate bis farm to
have such an expenditure. As a mat
ter of fact, the present system costs
more than that In the same series of
years n good road would last, und bo
never has n go'od road. A further fact
Is tbut under the State aid law, the
State paying one-half, the county thirty-five
per cent, and the townships
only fifteen per cent., his proportion
would be small. The cities und vil
lages, which get no nid for their own
streets, would pay all but fifteen per
cent, of the cost. That Is, ou each $100
expended In a rural town the cities and
villages of the State would pay $8." of
the expense and the rural towns only
$li. Further than this, the expense of
building such roads Is all In labor, and
tho farmers would do the labor nt re
munerative prices. They would fur
nish the men and teams and material
at good wages nnd prices, und the rurul
town would not only have nearly the
entire f 100 left with It, of which It con
tributed but $15, but would have the
road, stopping the large annual ex
pense under the present system, enab
ling the drawing of larger loads to mar
ket, encouraging rural delivery of
the malls, advancing the price of farm
lands on such roads and gaining com
fort and convenience. It would seem
as If the proposition was very favora
ble to the farmers, and that they were
the ones who made money out of it.
When this is well understood, us Mr.
Bond explains It, we Judge thnt the
sentiment for good ronds will grow rap
Idly, and there will lie such n demand
that the State will be forced to meet
It with Increased appropriations.
State Engineer Bond reports that the
demand is now greater than tho ap
propriations, and ninny counties are
waiting for the State to mako provis
ion for paying Its share. State Engi
neer Bond's Idea Is that the State
should Issue three per cent, bonds for
$10,000,000, bo that the work can be
done at onco nnd the roads enjoyed lu
stead of compelling counties to wait a
number of years. The annual Interest
would not ue ns much ns the expense
of tho present poor maintenance of
highways nnd properly would be pay
ing Its proportion of the benefits which
It would also enjoy.
Stute Engineer Bond's meeting was
a good one, and excited great interest
lu tbis subject. Hearing his talk sug
gested another Idea. Why should not
public officers do more of this kind of
educational work for the people. Their
dry reports have little value beside
such face to face Information. The
subject of forestry, of game protection,
of tlsh culture, of taxation, of various
governmental functions elucidated by
men engaged lu the work would bring
the people In closer touch with State
affairs and give them greatei knowl
edge and Interest In the machinery of
government. Watertowu tX. .j Dally

Expensive Tntneportntion .
It has been a process longer thau
many roads to teach the farmer that
It costs Ii f hi more to carry his pro
duce to the nearest railway station
thau to send It to the distant market.
From farm to point of shipment Is
the most expensive part of trw.jipor
tat ion. But this lesson bus been quite
thoroughly disseminated, especially in
the States east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio. It has been fol
lowed by more detailed Instruction us
to materials, grades and draining in
roud-coustruetlon, and the marked
economy to be effected by the use of
wide tires.
The old national highway, whoso
construction first raised the question
of the relation of the federal govern
ment to Interstate communication, is
an enduring example of what national
assistance can accomplish. But the
general policy bus been adopted of
leaving road-building to local needs
and energy. ,;
Eloquent of Jtoiuan Glory
A lesson lu tha wisest political econ
omy may be learned by a survey of the
Human roads. They were so pluuned
and constructed that even to-day their
remains are eloquent of Itoman glory.
Of those who first trod upon them even
the dust has crumbled Into nothing
ness, but the modern sightseer must
pay tribute to tbe enduring strength
and artistic beauty of the Itomuo
The Ileal Objiwt.
The object of Improving tbe roads
is not to enable a few to rldo on them
t a high rate of speed, but to euuble
all to(use them with more comfort and
ease, at such a rate of speed aa la con
sistent with tbe safety of all.

Her Health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. Read Her 'Letter.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham : For several years after my last child
was born I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced
before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches.
" I tried the doctor's medicines and found it money worse than
wasted. A friend who had been cured through the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did
so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced
such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I
felt young and strong and happy once more.
"This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is my only medicine. If I ever feel bad or tired a few
doses brings instant relief." Mrs. Francis Podmore.

My family physician told me to
try Ripans Tabules, as he had
found them of great benefit in sev
eral obstinate cases of indigestion
and dyspepsia. I felt better within
a day, and was soon greatly relieved.
I have always been subject to bad
sick headache until I began taking
the Tabules, and you don't know
what a relief it is to be entirely
free from these.
