Clover Growing In the West.
Time was when Western farmers did
not care to do anything to improve the
fertility Of their soil. which they
thought was inexhaustible. But de-
creasing crops have turned their atten-
ton to better modes Of maDuring and
to increased growth Of clover. This Ii
especially true where stock growing
and dairying have superseded the ex-
elusive growing Of the earlier settle
ment. Clover Is especially adapted to
the Western farmer, because corn,
which he always has grown. Is only an
imperfect ration. 1t Is too largely car
bonaceous and needs more heterogeneous
nutrition. Nothing better supplies this
than clover. nor do any crops better
supplement each other In farm rotation
than do clover and corn.-Amer1can

woma.'a Carriage Must be Right.
The stylishly made gown must be

original shape. Some women are hope
less SO far as style goes. while others
are q great success no matter what
they may have on. The woman utterly
devoid of some natural style Is, as a
rule, slovenly, having her clothes pitch
ed on any way to get into them.

usually In keeping with the ungainly
walk seen In SO many women who give
their personal appearance little or no
thought. The stylish woman has q
good poise. stands well, walks well and
her clothes take ON just the c0rrecl
swing. Put these same clothes on the
woman who shambles and stands on
her heels with shoulders forward and
abdomen thrown up and the style OF
toilet Ii swallowed up In the lack OF
style In the woman herself. 1t Is safe
to say that more style Is lost In the
way a woman carries herself and
wears her clothes than In the actual
making Of her wardrobe.
