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

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

of strong metal that will not rust or

automatically, there is no squeaking

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.

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

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.
