SOMETHING FOE EVERYBODY Profit In Crop Rotation. Farmers In lower Delaware are greatly Interested In an experiment Just concluded by Capt. William E. Lank, who has thoroughly proven the advantage of the rotation of crops on a four-acre field. Last spring he ma nured the four acres, which had been In corn the previous year. The mamure was plowed under, the ground well narrowed and peas drilled In. The crop grew well, and In June the peas were sold at a net profit of $92. As soon as the peas were removed, plows again turned the soil over and It was planted with corn. From thla a fine crop ofx fodder was saved, .yielding a net profit of 65. The ground now has a fine set of scarlet clover on it, the seed having been sown at the last harrowing of the corn, with every indication of $40 worth of clover hay In the spring and a constant improvement to the fand. Construction of Colonr Home. During the dull tteituii our local lum ber dealer and his assistant built some portable colony poultry-houses as fol lows, writes an Indiana correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer: The frame Is securely bolted to the Sills, which are made sled-runner style. The walls are made from closely-fitted tongue and groove drop-siding. The floors are tight, and the ventilators covered with screen wire to keep out rats, weasels, etc.; the cover is roofing felt. Each house Is painted. The size Is 6 by 8 feet; 6 feet high In front and 4 at the back. They cost me $15 each for all material and work. Very likely they could be built for less in places where lumber is cheaper. Flrat Imported Horaea. It Is said that the first horses Im ported Into New England were brought over lis 1629, or nine years after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. One stallion and seven mares survived the voyage. From this It will be seen that the first nine years of our history was a homeless "age" In New England. The colonists In Virginia differed from the sober-minded Puritans of New En gland In being fond of sport, loving fast horses and trying their speed on the race track. The horses imported were English hunters and racers. Fearnaught, brought over in 1764, left his murk on a numerous progeny of uncommon beauty, size and speed. the milkers can see to clean the cows properly for milking. This arrange ment is accomplished in modern statues by building them thirty-four to thirty-six feet wide and having two rows of cows facing toward a feeding alley In the center. World' Wheat Crop, 1009. Broomhall's final estimate of thb 1909 wheat crop of the world places the total wheat production of the wheat acreage of the world at 3,347, 000,003 bushels, an Increase of 285, 000,000 bushels over the production in 1903, a 427,000,000 bushel Increase over the crop of 1907. The production in Europe aggregated 1,872,000,000 bush els, being 160,000,000 bushels over the 1908 crop. The crops of North and South America reaches 1,040,000,000 bushels, or 80,000,000 bushels over last year. It is likely that this great pro duction will not be more than enough to supply the demands of the world's population. Conservative Corn Poller. It la, after all, but evidence of a desire to speculate when the corn belt farmer, particularly the one located In the northern part, plants a type of corn which Is too big to mature in the season lying between the limits of killing frosts in spring and fall. Where an exceptionally favorable season makes possible the proper ma turity of such corn one year, there will be a half dozen seasons when It will get hit with the frost before It is ripe and sour and mold in the crib. It is better to play safe and grow a smaller and earlier maturing type. Feeding Subatltote (or Corn. In these days of high priced corn there is a lesson in the experience of Boyden Pearce of Hancock County, Me., who Bays: "I have been forced to depend upon my farm for my pork and have learned that plenty of ruta baga turnips, clover and one bag of corn will put a hog through the win ter; then to pasture till fall. It makes good pork and at a low price. There is money in it and no need to depend upon the West for pork." Keeping Up Spraying Flgbt. The fight against insect, scale and 'fungus diseases in our orchards must -not be dropped with the harvesting of -the fruit crops. It cannot be hoped that you have, by your spraying opera tions during the summer season, killed all the scale Insects and fungi, and doubtless during the press of work on the farm during the midsummer season the matter will have been neg lected, or very little done, since the fruit was formed, and it can be de pended upon that there will now be on your orchard trees a fine collection of all sorts ready to hibernate and come loi th in the spring stronger than ever. Salt (or Milking Cowl, Your cows will get enough salt by simply putting a lump of rock salt In the manger. A cow giving a good flow of milk, well fed, ought to have two ounces of salt a day, an ounce in the morning and an ounce at night. Some advise giving this to them on their en silage, when you feed ensilage and grain. You can take a small piece of salt In your fingers and weigh It, and will soon be able to judge the amount In an ounce. How West Una Developed. Five years ago it was freely predict ed that land 'values In the West had reached their height, but they are 20 to 40 per cent higher now than then. The families of the first corners are grown. The second generation has come to the fore and is taking part In the business of the communities. They have grown up with the country and know what it can produce and just how valuable it Is for the purpose of production and for a home. C. M. Harger in the Atlantic Magazine. Good Ronda of Savrdnat. Making good roads with sawdust Is telng practiced in a number of locali ties In the South. Two ridges of earth are thrown up (a road machine being xequlred to do the work) at a certain width from each other, the space be tween being filled with a six-inch bed of sawdust. Dirt Is then mixed with the sawdust, and it is claimed that beavlly loaded vehicles In passing over this kind of a road make no impres sion upon it. It Is estimated that the cost of building Is about $250 per mile. Feeding Calvea tir Hand. It Is always best to feed the calves by band, because one knows just what they are getting and how much. It Is really not such a terrible task to feed a dozen calves, but Is quite a nuisance to go through the motion just for one or two. Perhaps a great many dairy men who object to raising calves or their own herds, would change their minds If they should practice it la a wholesale way. Light la Cow Staltlea. The light In a cow stable should coma from the rear of the cows, so Cleanllneaa In Dairy Connta. Cleanliness In all lines of dairying counts for quality of products. After milk vessels have been washed with soap and hot water they must be final ly rinsed with scalding water. When scalding water is used no drying with rags will be necessary, as the heat from the water will dry the vessels without aid. Sunning after cleaning is to be commended. Animal and Dtrd Farm Alda. According to the Department of Ag riculture of France a toad Is worth $9; a lizard, $9; a swallow, $20; a titr mouse, $8; the robin, $4; a mat, $30; an owl, ?iz; a screecn owi, jib; fern owl, $30. That looks bad when same of us come to think It over and call to mind how many of our friends we have killed. Providing Salt (or PIgeona. On one of the largest squab plants in this country salt Is furnished the breeders by dipping the small sacks In water and then allowed to dry un til they become hard and firm. These are then placed In the lofts and the pigeons pick out the salt through the sacks. Never give common granulated salt loose. Whttewaahlng the Honaea. Nothing Is better for poultry build ings from a sanitary point of view than a good coat of whitewash. Espe cially is this true when getting the poultry houses ready, for the winter, All may not be aware there is quite science in whitewashing. There are different kinds, and each Is adapted for a different use. . Working (or Top of Ladder. Do not hesitate to work on the top rounds of a ladder In the poultry bus! ness. The higher you get the less crowded it Is, and therefore the bet ter the business pays, says a writer In an exchange. You may feel a little lonesome at times, but it Is the kind of loneliness that Is right easy beat Sicily -lost 60,000 inhabitants by earthquake in 1693. The Siamese peninsula Is to be de veloped in the immediate future by the construction of over COO miles, of rail way. Several German shipyards are equip ped with electro-magnets powerful enough to lift dead weights of 60,000 pounds. Milk costs at least 10 cents a quart in Mexico and butter uO cents a pound. The demand for poultry is always greater than the supply. Three hundred "women were contest ants in a recent archery tournament in London. Archery has become a pop ular sport with women in both Eng land and France. Abdul Hamld's 2,000 waistcoats and the hundreds of boxes of shirts and waistcoats found in Yildlz kiosk recall the posthumous sale of King George IV. 's wardrobe, which realized $45,000. As far as we know, the shortest as- sociational report on temperance was presented by J. J. Barrow and C. W. Scarborough and adopted by the Cen tral Association in 1879. It was as follows: "No drunkard shall Inherit the kingdom of heaven." Biblical Recorder. At this season of the year, when sore throats, laryngitis and similar complaints are very prevalent In Lon don, It may Interest our readers to know of a very simple remedy which is recommended by the celebrated Dr. Fauvel, of Paris. He recommends a gargle of ordinary tea before going out in the morning and if possible, ou returning at night. London Chronicle. Surely "the world do move." Here's Chicago putting rubber soles on Its noisy milk peddlers who clatter up back stairs at 2 a. m., to the rout of Morpheus and the discomfort of ten ants. Now, if somebody will Invent noiseless milk wagons, nonrattling cans and a few more things of theklnd, a dozen quiet loving and sleep needing home suburbs of New York will gladly build him a monument. New York Tribune. Constantinople Is the dirtiest city. in the world, the only street cleaners being the starving dogs, cats and rats; but the people do use soap. Last year there were Imported into that city I ,500 tons of soap selling from 20 to! 60 cents a cake. Practically all the soap of Constantinople arrives from the island of Mitylene, which makes 32,000 tons a year from its olive oil. Constantinople still burns candles largely. The annual imports amount to 4,000,000 pounds. While alighting from a tram car In Vienna some months ago, Fraulein An- ette Schmidt accidentally Injured a fellow-passenger's eye with one of her hat pins. The unfortunate man was taken to the hospital and eventually lost sight of the Injured organ. Frau lein Schmidt, who visited him regular ly, offered, says a writer, to become his wife and look after him for the rest of his life. Her offer was promptly ac cepted and the marriage took place lately. Chicago News. Off the northwest coast of Australia there is an island which till recently belonged to no one. It Is not a very large Island. In fact, It measures only 365 yards by 30 yards. It has, how ever, a good anchorage, and for that reason its possession may at some time be valuable. .The British govern ment has, therefore, annexed the lsl and, and an official notification of the fact recently reached the common' wealth minister for external affairs The new British possession is known as Cartier Island, and Is almost sur rounded by coral reefs. Westminster Gazette. Germany pays comparatively little attention to poultry raising. For the greater part of its supply of eggs and poultry the empire is dependent upon Italy, France, Belgium and the Balkan States. The imports Into Germany of eggs and poultry have Increased mar velously since 1872, In which year the combined Imports of these two items amounted to only $500,000. In 1880 they had Increased to $5,000,000, and In 1907, $37,845,750 worth of Imported eggs and $12,730,500 worth of Import ed poultry were consumed, with ex ports that same year amounting to only $313,500 for eggs and $211,250 for -poultry. . Many clergy gird against copper In the collection bags, and, of course, peo ple who can afford silver ought not to give pennies only; but there Is noth' lng to be said against pence If there is plenty of it. In a certain parish not long ago the vicar announced that an additional clergyman or second curate was needed. He said the cost of the maintenance was to be provided by a penny fund, to whlcn every parishioner was wanted to subscribe. The fund was started and was so successful that the income of the new curate was as sured thereby. The new assistant la to this day called "the penny curate." Church Family Newspaper.
