Take the question of hats.
the SLOUGH felt, so soft and warm and
picturesque in the morning, comes
home in the afternoon tied to the han

bareheaded For there is some subtle
difference between a mans SLOUGH felt
and woman's, or between the heads
of the sexes. A man prefers a SLOUGH
in cold weather because he can pull it
down on his head and it will shed rain.
A woman's head and her hat must be
skewered together in calm, while in
a breeze the expression of her face as
she clutches hat brim with one hand,
pulling down her skirt with the other,
needs no interpretation.

wear in winter small, close-fitting

Skirts also must be reefed.
The problem of finding seemly and
at the same time practical cycling skirt
has never been solved. If the difficult
ties are great in summer, in winter
they are mountainous The tendency
for the past season has been to lengthen
cycle skirts, with the result, in calm
weather, ola gain in grace and decorum;
but for winter wheeling anything ex-
cept short skirt is inauvisable.

at the English forces at Boonplatz in
1913. Dom Paul's youth was one OF
hardy adventure; as he himself has said
he had little time for books-he was
busy fighting lions, both the African
and the English sort.
Of late years he has shown marked
aversion to sitting for his photograph,
and most of the cuts that go the rounds
are from an old negative.
This little anecdote shows his limita-
tions.
When Capt. Slocum sailed around
the world in a 40-foot sloop he
touched at Cape Town and made pill
grimage to Pretoria expressly to see
President Kruger. With the aid of an
interpreter he explained that he was on
his way around the world and intend
cd to complete, if possible, the circuit
of the globe. Whereat Kruger grunt-
co disparagingly, and, turning TO the
interpreter, said:

worlds fiat. Everybody knows It is
only they don't want to say So"

New York.-The bicycles of most
women hibernate, unless their LOT is TO
pass the winter tied up with ribbons,
pictures stuck among the spokes. their
tires cracking and their joints growing
rusty and rheumatic while they do re
luctant duty as bric-a-brac in apart
ment house parlors.
Nevertheless, the number of winter
lidcrs is growing. 1t would grow more
rapidly If the conditions and the pleas
ures of cold weather wheeling were
generally understood.
The woman who has been told that
she misses the exhilarating end of the
sport by stalling her wheel with the
first frosts goes out on the road in No
yember or early December. She wears
her usual cycle dress. the one she wore
all summer; adding fur cape and
heavier gloves as recognition of the
change of season. She is warm while
riding, chilled as soon as she leaves
the wheel, and comes home exclaiming
at the folly of those who would have
persuaded her that the bicycle girl is
not strictly summer animal.
She reasons as wisely as if, having
skated in muslins. she claimed that

Fall Flowing of stubbIe Land.

The most common mistake in pre-
pairing ground for fall grains is wait
ing until Just before seeding time or
about the last week In August and the
first in September. There are several
reasons why early blowing Is the best.
The weeds that havs started after the
cutting Of the small grains are turned
under and kept from seeding. This is
no small considerati where the
ground is at all foul. If some Of the
seeds near the surfate should start af-
ter blowing, go over the field with a
harrow of some kind or a cultivator
and allow none to develop.
The chief value OF early blowing Is
that the land has an opportunity to be-
come we'll pulverizcd and compacted
before seeding time. If the land is
hard when plowed the numerous work.
ings which should be given 1t with
the rains OF late summer and early
autumn, will dissolve the clods and OBJ
literate damage IL present when the seed
Is sown. Many failures with winter
grains can be traced to late blowing
and imperfect preparation of the seed
bed.
Begin blowing as soon as the shocks
have been removed from the field. This
will vary from the first week in July
to the second in August. A depth of
about five inches is usually sufficient,
depending somewhat upon the character
of the soil. In few days go over the
field With a harrow in order to level
the ground and crea te a soil mulch to
prevent excessive evaporation. Drag
or roll several times during the fall
and follow each time with harrow to
loosen the surface. Seed the fall
grains from Sept. 10 to 20. always US
ing a press drill.

as 1t skaters readily.
If the threshing can be done In good
season the clover can be left as cut
until dried out sufficiently to thresh.
But unless you are certain that this can
be done 1t is best to gather up and
stack the clover as soon as il is suffi-
GENTLY cured. The hulm or straw
makes a good feed, equally In value to
wheat or oat straw, while ii can hardly
be excelled for bedding.
In growing wheat the turning under
or good growth OF clover will be
beneficial, as it supplies the elements
of plant food needed by this crop.
For corn or potatoes 1t is usually best
to allow the clover to die down in the
fall and then plow under In winter
or early spring.

in his room to tell stories in turn. The
idea was at once put into practice, and
the boys told such stories of sport. love
and adventure as the fertility of their

which practice would be generally
