V EXCELLENT SPRING FOR DOOR 8plral Hinge Makes Door Close of Its Own Weight Clears Carpets and Rugs. By taking advantage of the law of gravity, a Washington (D. C.l man has invented n hinge which also acts as a spring. Spiral strips of metal are screwed at top and bottom and middle of the door casing. Other metal strips, with slots for the spiral to pass through, are fastened to the door at corresponding distances and form the hinges. When the door is opened It rides up on the spirals, clear ing rugs, carpets, mats or whatever else may be at the bottom. Then, when the pressure on the door Is re leased it settles of its own weight and closeB slowly and gently as the in closing strips slide down the spiral. There is no necessity to have a pneu matic device attached to prevent the door from closing with a bang, as is the case with many other spring Novel Door Spring. doors. These spiral springs are made of strong metal that will not rust or break, and as they are kept lubricated automatically, there is no squeaking or grating noise.

ROTATION RESTS THE SOIL Allowing Land to Lie Idle Does Not Bring About Result Lazy i Farmer Imagines. BY R. PIER80N. A neighbor of ours, is a bit discour aged over his crop outlook and thinks his soil needs a rest, therefore, he is talking of .fallowing his land next year. Allowing to lie idle for a season may be a good i thing for the lazy farmer, but I never could see any other reason for it. The idea, of course, "is to' "rest" the land and the conserving of an extra season for a Bingle crop. This might be done pro vided the man has cultivated during the fallow period, a fine mulch main tained, and the weeds kept down, but if it is all to grow up to weeds and grass this will take out quite as much moisture as a crop of corn or anything felee. Soil cannot assimilate plant food unless It is cultivated, and there fore, it follows that much of tills food goes to waste on fallow land. If the farmer would set his plants a little deeper, ' keep the cultivator , going more" steadily, "rest" his land by a change of crops, buy a manure spread er, then use it, his farm would pro duce twice as much as It will if he carries out his fallowing plans. Succeeding With Alfalfa. The men wbo have succeeded best with unlrrlgntod alfalfa have pre pared their land well and then seeded It when an abundant supply of mois ture was present . rj 17 ViMS W7 Staging Bracket. time to erect scaffolds that It does to do the work on small Jobs. A very convenient movable bracket is made of 2 by 4 Inch scantling, nailed to form a right angle and braced with boards. A 2 by 4 is then inserted and the bracket slid up the side of the building with the staging boards on it. The foot of the 2 by 4 is then staked to prevent slipping. Often there are odds and ends about the farm build ings that may be substituted for the 2 by 4s, using the above plan for the staging bracket. ACREAGE DEVOTED TO HEMP Increase In Importation Offers Market for Larger Home Production of Fiber. The bluegrass region of Kentucky, In the center of which lies Lexington, raises about 20,000 acres of Cannabis sativa from which hemp is procured. The acreage devoted to hemp In other parts of the United States is very small perhaps COO acres around Lin coln, Neb., and an equal number in the lower Sacramento valley in Cali fornia, with small experimental plant ings In Indiana, Pennsylvania, Wis consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and Arkansas. Russia produces more for export than all other countries, but Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany, France, Belgium, Turkey, China and Japan grow It commercially for fiber. All the hemp fiber produced in this country is used in American mills. and as Increasing quantities are being Imported, a market for a larger home production is offered. Therefore, the circular recently Issued by the United States department of agriculture on the cultivation of hemp in the United States, in which climate, soil, sowing, harvesting the plant, and methods of preparing the soft gray or yellow bast fiber are described and explained, should prove of Interest to farmers in those sections of the country outside of the recognized hemp growing re glon where soil and climate seem to offer a prospect favorable to its pro duction. In Cabbage Fields. Give nitrate of soda a trial in your cabbage fields. One hundred per acre at each application is the usual amount, although 200 pounds at time Is used by some growers. Leave check rows to show the difference In results. zxm m.i or. Clean cultivation is half the battle, Cnuliflower seed are still brought from Denmark. Intensive farming means more than double cropping. The present day farmer is a spe cialist in the true sense of the word, The legumes are especially strong In protein and therein lies their great value. - - . Potatoes are continuing to absorb quite a good deal of the trucker's at tention. ; Leaving plant root exposed to the sun and wind is like leaving a fish but of water. Old, stale vegetables will hurt your trade. Feed them .to the pigs, cows or poultry. The tb;ee Important leaf troubles of cucumbers are powdery mildew, downy mildew and anthracnose. In applying manure with a spreader it is put on uniformly, and all parts of the field are equally benefited. It Is seldom, it ever, necessary to inoculate land for alfalfa when it has been well enriched with manure. The United Kingdom seems to be able to produce more wheat from an acre of land than any other country, If the melon vines are rusty pull them up and burn them. If only wilted you may find a borer about the roots. - Peas of the extra early sorts are sown thickly along the furrows in rows two and a half to three feel apart. Every farmer's garden should con tain all the good fruit and vegetablci that the soil and climate will grow. They make up a great part of tjbe actual living,, and they are the mos' healthful foods that can be eaten. 7 "V," (As narrated by her friend Tottle of the English pony ballet.)
