At the Indiana Station the conclusion has been reached that not only can larger crops be secured, but that the fertility of the soil can be better improved by judicious rotations. A comparison of continuous grain growing with the rotation of grain with grass and clover showed a gain by the latter method of 6 bushels of corn, 7' bushels of oats, and 6 bushels of wheat per acre. The average percentages of gain were for coi n 22 per cent, oats 2G per cent, and wheat 44 per cent In such systems of farming as sugar production In the South and wheat production in the Northwest, a condition has been reach' d, even upon land originally c great fertility, where a system of rotation must be employed. In Louisiana the growing of a leguminous crop, like the cowpca, has become a necessity with the sugar planter. The North Dakota Station has taken up the study of a suitable rotation for the wheat farm. Experiments carried on for six years show that continuous wheat culture Is unprofitable, while wheat in rotation increases in yield and Improves in quality, 'iliese crops of wheat and one of clover gave In four years almost a much wheat and more profitable returns than four crops of wheat In succession. Little was gained in rotating wheat with other cereals, ns spring rye, barley, and oats, but wheat after a cultivated crop gave a larger percentage of sse than wheat after summer fallowing, millet, timothy and clover, flax, field peas, or peas and millet. The increase in the wlu-a- t crop over wheat Hirer wheat was as follows: After cultivated crops, 75 per eent: after fallow, (13 per cent; after millet, 41 per cent, and after timothy and clover, 33 per i.t. Whpn a cultivated crop will only pay for the labor of its production it Is better than summer fallowwh-- ut ing. ns the sinirop will show. A. C.

Similar trials comparing north and south tapping made In 1899 and 1900 also give results that favor the south side. On typical sap days it seems unquestionably true that a south exposure will yield the most sap. On a cloudy day when all sides of a tree warm up equally fast it Is more nearly an even hs thing. A review of the figures also calls attention to a remarkable difference be tween trees. Number 4, from which the greatest yield of the richest sap wag obtained, was a large vigorous tree standing in the open. As Is well known such trees give large amounts of rich sap. This Is due to the d leaf area and full exposure to sunlight The green l aves in sunlight during the summer season make starch from materials gathered from air and soil. This starch is stored throughout the tree and Is the source bf sugar In the spring. Sunlight, exposure and leaf area are therefore Important factors In maple sugar production.

Rankin says: Do not attach undue Importance to popular strains that happen to be fashionable, or to fancy as to color of hair, eta, provided that you do not get outside the color of the breed. But I would emphasize the giving of special regard to vigor of constitution, robustness, and capacity for digestion and assimilation. Some of our more observant breeders are coming to think that In some of onr breeds of swine, the process of refining the bone and lightening the framework has been carried very near to the danger line, and the time has come to emphatically call a halt In that direction. Too little attention Is being given to securing sturdy straight limbs and strong upright feet, whereby the pig is able to stand squarely and steadily on Its feet. Among the objectionable features to be guarded against are the long, slender, pipestem legs ending in slim, uncertain ankles and weak feet, together with a failure to carry the meat of the ham full and well down toward the hock. The strong arched back, the well sprung rib. the full heart girt, the broad shoulders, the deep ham, the the strong, strong underpinning, shapely foot these are among the more vital points to be observed In the building up of a good and thoroughly useful herd of hogs. These are the points chiefly sought after by Intelligent farmers and breeders. An attempt at the combination of as many of these good points as possible In the shaping of the farm herd is a good thing. Kntnra of Knw Pork. Fred H.

More of the powder was found in a Sixth ave. department store. The report of the analysis of the Health Department stated that it was an alum baking powder containing slum and pulverized rock. The different Health Authorities seem to have different ways of repressing the sale of bad baking powders. In England they have prosecute ed the grocers under the general law and broken up the traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum baking powder Is actually prohibited by law. In New York they seize the unwholesome stuff and cast It into the river without any discussion. Tbe latter way is certainly effective. The alum baking powders are usually offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents a pound, or with some prize, as a temptation to the housewife. Consumers can protect themselves e baking by buying only name and powder of established reputation.
