For good results, a two-year crop ro-
tation.
Corn followed by wheat or oats and
cowpeas.
Three or four-year crop rotation,
corn, wheat, or oats with clover or al-
falfa.
Plant two stalks of corn to the hill
and give clean cultivation, later give
clean cultivation with 14 tooth, one
horse cultivator after each rain in July,
to maintain tha soil mulch.
In Kentucky is a quaint character
named Ezekiel Hopkins, who once gain-
ed local fame by discovering a piece of
broken railway line and warning an ex-
cursion train in time to save a disaster.
So it was degided to present Ezekiel with
a gold watch. The head of the presen-
tation committee, approaching Ezekiel
with a grave bow, said: "Mr. Hopkins,
it is the desire of the good people of
Kentucky that you shall, in recognition
of your valor and merit, be presented
with this watch, which they trust will
ever remind you of their undying friend-
ship." Without the least emotion,
Ezekiel ejected from his mouth a long
stream of tobacco juice, took the watch
from its handsome case, turned it over
and over in his wrinkled hand, and
finally asked, "Whar's the chain?"
Much is said and written about skim-
milk as a hog feecf and there is much to
say about it but told in a few words its
statuts as pork maker is this:
Skimmilk belongs to the class of pro-
tein feeds but is short on carbohydrates,
(starches and sugars), as well as fat
and so when fed alone doesn't amount
to much as a fat producer.
Combine it with corn, however, and
you get the carbohydrates and fat, so
that such a feed made up in right pro-
portions is complete in itself or "bal-
anced." And for feed to make weight
in hogs, cost consider'd, we will have
to travel a long way to find one to beat
a corn and skimmilk combination.
Hill BILL IS CIIIEIi KIM

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the govern- i
ment food expert, was discussing in
Washington the fall of the price of meat.
"The reasons given us for this fall are
ludicrous," said Dr. Wiley. "They are
as ludicrous as the young woman's rea-
son for avoiding tight lacing. 'Is tight
lacing unwise?' her teacher asked this
young woman in a physiology lesson.
'Yes, it is very unwise,' was the reply.
'Why is it unwise?' the teacher pursued.
'Because it busts the corset, said the
young woman."—New York Tribune.
A St. Louis merchant had made use
of one of his young clerks instead of
his regular collector, who was ill.
When the young man returned from his
rounds, his employer observed that he
looked rather down in the mouth.
"Have any luck?" asked the merchant.
"So-so," replied the young man, list-
lessly. "How about that Jones bill?
I suppose you collected that. You said
that Mr. Jones was a friend of yours."
"Well, sir," said the clerk. "I don't
know whether to rejoice or not at my
success with Mr. Jones " "What do
you mean?" "This sir: When I went
in and said, 'Mr. Jones, 1 called to speak
about a matter—'he interrupted me
before I could proceed further with,
"That'« all right, my boy, she's yours.
Take her and be happy."

Osment, a well driller, while
drilling for water on the farm cf
A. J. Brazier, a mile west of this
place, struck a heavy flow of
black oil at a depth of eighty- six
feet. The supply seemed to be
good. He said when he struck
the oil it came bubbling into the
hole. The next morning the well
was full of oil and water, with
the oil of a good grade.
