Jizers are necessary to supply that which,is needed as shown by survey and analysis. To-,secure the larger and heavier yields exacts 'besides the _ fertilizer:' proper tillage and cnltixa- • tion. ' ■' - Rotation of crops has proven helpful in enlarging the viehKof the soil. There are differences in the crops used in' rotating Another feature of crpp rotation is'that it is helpful in chocking plant diseases, and heading off to some extent injurious insects damage. -„ • - , Treat the soil .'fair*-by using selected choice perfect seed to increase the yield and aid the* fertiliser as does _groper tillage, these requirements are only reasonable.

This plan was very successful, hut last winter 1 tried a different plan a pftultry silo in which I kept my green ration in its natural state. Old barrels were used for the silos. "First, I make an opening about four incites above the base of- the

barrel', to set, at the silage. The opening is then fitted with a -flap that fils snugly, and can be closed after each feeding. A hole is then bored In the bottom of th<S barrel to drain off excess flgid. The. silo is then ready for filling. '"I used green feed of all descriptions,'such as clover, grass from -the. lawmy beet tops; cabbage leaves —in Tact, almost anything that a rub-ken would, eat , After the. barrel was filled. a-lid that could be removed -read- | ily was made to fit snugly on top and j.

Killed in Kansas. An Emporia hunter has killed a bird which seems to be a combination of duck, goose and buzz saw, being, the size-of a. goose, having tlie appearance ;of a small teal, and boasting' a sawtooth bill.

No Hero to Hla Housekeeper. What Will Josephine say to the •ward of the Nobe|-prize for literature to M. Anatole France? Josephine during many years was housekeeper to the great novelist and kept his home in such a perfection of comfort—sen ing, indeed, as the model for the ideal Therese of “Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard”—that there was much grief in -two hearts when in hnuity made it necessary some few years ado for her to be-superannuated. But thongb she cared so diligently for Ids Bodily' needs the old .woman would never admit any very high opinion of her master’s Intellect. “Is the master in?” once inquired a very distln gulshed visitor. “The master," grunted Joset^ilne- contemptuously, “why do you call him the master? lie Is master of nothing but his food, and even that he can only piaster when he has- it In his mouth.”- Xlaudiestei Guardian.
