E. IT.: 1 ant writing to suds advice
in regard to establishing a permanent
pasture. What ought 1 to Row, and
quantity per sere? The field I have
selected has a variety of soil::, sand,
clay. and a heavy black soil. It pro-
duced a good crop of wheat this year
and a good seeding of red June clover
and t.tmothy. Hort' should I proceed to
get a good stand of permanent pasture
grasses and still have the nee of this
field for pasture next year?
Answhr:—I assume from your ques-
tion that the field is now standing in
clover and timothy. This being the
ease, your problem resolves itself into
the sowing of such other gens and
clover seed as will thicken and enrich
the present stand and introduce plants
that will be good for permanent pas-
ture. Of course there will be more
hazard in sowing grass or clover seed
on top of your present stand than
there would be in setting out an 'en-
tirely new seeding of grass for perm-
anent pasture, but assuming you are
ready to take•the risk, I would advise
the sowing of the following quantities
per acre, just before the snow leaves
in spring: white clover 3 lhs., alfalfa
5 lbs., meadow fescue 4 lbs.
After this mixture has been evenly
scattered on top the present stand of
clover and timothy, as soon es the
grounjd is suific•iently dry, go over it
with a light harrow with the teeth
turned back about 15 degrees, Larrow•-
ing with the rows where the wheat is
dsillea. Thi, light harrowing will help
bury some of the exposed seed and will
not injure the present stand. In handl-
ing the pasture after yon have cut the
first crop of timothy and clover, do not
be in it hurry to put the stock ar'the
second growth, bat give it time to
make a good recovery, then be sure
not tosto .. your Ia
atntat a
heavily.vnly.
Not more than one bead per acre. If
next fall is wet and the ground be -
cones waterlogged do net allow Hie
stock to pasture nu the heavier parts'
of this field because their continuous
tramping en the wet, heavy clay will
pack it so close that the roots of the
geese and clover wi11 be smothered out,'
So as to make doubly sure of al
rigorous start of this grass and clover;
seed that you are sowing in spring:
and to invigorate the crop already
standing, I would advise you to apply,
at least 200 to 250 the. per acre of al
fertilizer carrying 2 to 3 per cent. am -1
monia, and 10 to 12 per cent. phos-;
phoric acid. This can be applied be-
fore you harrow to cover the genes,
seed as indicated above, and the one'
harrowing will work in both fertilizer;
and seed.
,7, W. S.:—I have a field I had int
ersidage corn, well manured lasts
spring. Will it bo best to plow this'
fall and manure again, or manure firee,1
then plow?
Angwer:—If time remains before,
frost I would advise you to fall -plow,
your corn patch in preparation for the
strawberry planting next spring.
When Spring comes I would advise you:
to cross plow this same soil and then
apply 'manure preferably well rotted,'
and work it in by successive disking!
and harrowing. You cannot get the,
seedbed too smooth. Strawberries are
great lovers of an abundance of suit-
ably balanced plantfood and practical
growers in the Maritime Provinces
and in Ontario are getting exceedingly
good reedits by proper fortilization.
I have before cue the record of one
man who used as high as 1,800 lbs, of.
high grade fertilizer per acre on his' t
strawberries, and he elednis to snake 1
a net profit' of $200 to $300 per acre)
by Itis methods,
Most of the eastern growers use a
high grade potato fertilizer such asp f
one analyzing about 3 to 5 per cent.
ammonia, 0 to 8 per cent. phosphoric s
acid. and 3 to 5 per cent, potash. If
fertilizers of an analysis that would
conte within this range were, applied
to your soil at the rate of 500 lbs. to
the acre I ata certain your crop would
benefit materially.
R. W.:—What is meant by rotation
of crops? Please explaln Fully. •
Answer:— Rotation of crops means
the following of crops in a definite
system. For instance, there are types
of ergps that we plant in rows and
cultivate the space •between. Those
may be called cleaning Crops. They
are types of. crops such as corn, po-
tatoes, beans, ete, Then again there
are crops which produce a large yield
Of grain, are not cultivated, and can
be used as nurse crops for getting
catch of timothy or clover, such a
wheat, oats, barley, etc: Hay crop
which consist of grasses and clover.,
stand for at least two years and some-)
tittles 5 or 6. The hay crops, esneeial-i
ly those that contain considerable
clover, are especially beneficial be -i
cause they introduce a considerable
amount of plant matter or humus;
througls the large amount of roots that
they produce. Clover's also have the
power of increasing the nitrogen of
the soil on account of the .bacterial
growt}t on their soo. All of this
being the case, the gr.,wing of a clover
crop, every so often, materially bene-
fits the bearing power of the 'soil.
Now a' rotation or system of crop-
ping includes all three classes of Drops
described. For instance, you may
lay out the tilled area ei' your farm
hi approximately four equal areas,
calling them A, Be C, and D. On A
you may have corn and potatoes, and
possibly other cultivated crops. On B

pare 1: 35-42; 20: 2-10; 21: 20-2+1, It
cannot beg a mere accident that the
other disciple in these passages is left
unnamed, and the almost univoreai
belief is that he is John himself, who
through modest, self-effacement re-
fuses to name himself, In 19: 85 he
mentions one who was a witness of
the crucifixion, twain without a name.
Had the story been written at a later
bine by disciples of the apostles they
would certainly have given us the

This other disciple was "known unto
the high priest" and, therefore, was
recognized and admitted by the door-
keeper, and was able also to secure
admittance for Peter.

IL was evident that Jesus would have
no fair trial .in such an assembly,:
where the chief presiding judge could'

however, both to unjust ,judge and bru-
tal officer sufficient rebuke: '•If I have.

three years hence section. A would be
growing second -year timothy and
clover or alfalfa, and four years hence
it would be grossing cultivated crops
again (corn, potatoes, eta.). Or, if
you wish to consider all of the four
blocks, it simply means that the crops
move on in this definite order (culti-
vated crops, followed by grain nurse
crops, followed by first-year grass and
clover, followed by •second -year grass
and clover), This order is gone
through on all of the blocks.
In some sections it is profitable to
leave only one year for grass, cutting
down the system to a three-year ro-
tation. In other sections it is profit-
able to make it five or six-year rota-
tion by introducing such variations as
growing a crop of oats, first in the
grain division and following this with
wheat before seeding down, also allow-
ing the hay seeding to stand three,
four•, and sometimes longer years.
The establishment of such a system
of your farm saves labor, by cutting
down the relative amount of land that
is plowed and brought under tillage
year by year. It also stabilizes the
amount of labor so that you can figure
with some degree of certainty es to the
amount of expenditure you have to
mike in labor year by year. Rotations
are also exceedingly valuable since
hey establish a systematic means for
seeping up the organic matter or
humus of the son. If good crops are
grown in rotation and proper atten-
tion is paid to the manuring and
ertilizing of the crop with a minimum
of expenditure of labor, maximum re-
ults can be obtained.

A Few Suggestions on Trapping Wo f.
Any trapper who goes after wolf
must recognize tlse,fin'st precaution to
take in his trapping enterprises is to
destroy all traces of the human odor,
The wolf is very suspicious of any
humeri eeent and strategy must be
resorted to ,in older to tantsth him.
Some trappers dip their traps in melt-
ed beeswax or boil them in strong sage
tea before setting. Gloves, well rub -
be placed around the trap. Good re-
sults can also be secured if the trap
is set in this manner near a badger or
prairie dog mound.
An excellent method for trapping
the wolf when the snow is on the
ground is the following: Place a heavy
stone in a sack and scent both sides of
the sack well with a good trail scent.
Then get on your horse and ride out
to where you intend to make your set,
dragging the sack after you. Then
pull the drag close to your horse and
make a short turn. This will also
lead the wolf to make a short turn
and he will not step over the trap..
Extend the suite,' path aeross the
prairie from stream to stream 5o that
there will be a scented trail for`the
wolf to follow up to the train. After
digging et 'hole in the snow, tile trap
should be laid on a piece of white
paper, set:, and then carefully covered
with it thin layer of snow. A few

In making -salt pork, first rub each

brine until needed. For bans and
bacon rub each piece with salt, the
next day pack in a barrel or stone jar,
cover wsth a brine nada up of eight
pounds of salt, two pounds of brawn
sugar and two ounces of saltpeter

One community that has been very
eucces'eful in malting rural life as at.
tractive as city life to the younger
people is in Walworth county, Wia,
The progress made by this one com-

con
Five ycare ago the rural life in
Walworth county was no more attrace
tine than the life of any other com-
munity. Through the efforts of a few
enterprising men and women the
Lakeview Farmers' Club was organ-
ized in 1918,
When this club was organized the
membership was email. The members
got together, adopted a constitution,
and held a few entertainments and
other social events at the schoolhouse.
The attendance at the meetings in-
creased rapidly, and soon the -school-
house was too small for their needs.
A little more than a year passed and.
a beautiful $6,000 community house
was built by township tax. Of course,
there was opposition. There nearly
always is when such improvements
are suggested. But the enthusiasm
and determination of the members of
the club and town of Linn swept away
all the opposition. They now have an
excellent brick building 82 x 72 feet,
with a ten -foot basement and a com-
pletely equipped opera hall above.
The elub was organized to create a
spirit elf greater neighborliness and to
make the social side of farm life more
attractive. These people realized that.
right living and good neighbors are
more important in farming than just
making dollars and cents. Country
people can not get the most out of life
if they live by themselves and apart
from their kind, They are likely to
become narrow, suspicious and selfish,
and their children will develop these
vices to an even greeter degree. They
should, hive as a helping part of the
community in which they reside.
These people live in a rich farnsing
community. Their land is worth from
$150 to $250 an acre. Nearly all have •
automob]1es. Before this alai ;:a;

v.
Rural clubs abs such as
the Lakeview
Farmers' Club can not help but make
farm life more attractive to the boys
and girls, who are the farmers of the
future. The ideas they form about
farming while they are young will
have a great deal to do with their
careers twenty years hence. If in
their youth they know nothing but
work, work, work, ,it is small winder
that they'h:ve a longing for eat
socirl
life of the towns and cities.
The boys and girls of Walworth
eounty are not turning longing eyes
toward the cities. They have been
brought to see that there is nothing
better than farming, and they are dee
veloping into mighty good farmers
and farmers' wives.
Thrift of Tirne is Need
of Youth.
Aesop's ancient fable of the tortoise
and the hare was founded on excel-
lent philosophy, for persistent effort
is bound to bring successful results,
It is not hard for any of Ile to prevent
the loss of days or weeks, bet it is
very easy to slip into the habit o
squandering moments, says a writer
in the Thrift Magazine.
