Alfalfa should be cut when not more than one-tenth of the plants have come In bloom. Cut at this early stage, the yield of hay for the season will be much greater than if the alfalfa Is cut near maturity. and every pound of hay secured will be worth more for feed.
 At the Kansas experiment station strip through a field of alfalfa was cut when one-tenth was in bloom: another strip was cut after full bloom had passed. The strip cut early was nearly ready to cut the second time when that cut after full bloom was being harvested the first time. The strip cut early grew vigorously through the sea- son and made three cuttings and good aftermath. The strip cut after full bloom gave s low yield the first cutting and did rot grow sufficiently to yield Il good second cutting. Early cuttings seem to in;igorate the plant.
 The late cutting of the first crop seems to injure the plant more than at any other time. ant we have found 1t profitable to cut alfalfa the first time as soon as one-teIIih was in bloom, even though the weather was bad and WE knew that the cItp would spoil In cur ing. The increastd yield from succeed ing cuttings ovef that cut late much more than mal,a, up for the loss of the first crop.
 Essential to Dairy Success.
 Let me first note some of the meth ods practiced by our most progressive dairy farmers; then we may more eas- fly understand the progress made by the average dairyman. says New York correspondent of Hoard's Dairy man. These are now we'll established facts: To make dairying the most prof itable there must be a herd of well bred cows-cows that have been bred to make n maximum amount of butter fat from the food consumed. They must be fed q balanced and succulent ration, and as much as possible of this must be grown on the farm in the form of corn. grasses and the different kinds of grains and soiling crops, and In winter the cows must be kept in warm, light and well ventilated stables. These are now recognized as the three main essentials, to success In progressive dairy farming and are, to restate in word. good cows, good rations and com- fort for the cowa.
 The Farm Separator.
 If a farmer haii ten cows add is using the old fashior-d milk pans and his herd averages tree pounds of butter per 100 pounds as milk. 1t is safe to as- hat of hn fa .1a makes of cream separators his yield would be incr~pei by about one-quar- ter or more.

Woman's proneness to stick a pin wherever convenient has proved a se- rious matter to one steamship compa- ny. The line decided some time ago to place the most modern air filled rubber mattresses In the berths of the best rooms on two of its biggest ships. Recently the stewards were kept busy at the completion of each trip with blowing up with air dozens of mattresses that had collapsed from some unknown cause. It took the off cials of the line some hours to discover the cause of the failure of the mat tresses to maintain their proper con- dition. Hatpins, breastpins. safety pin had done the mischief.
 "One advantage of these mattresses" said the manufacturer, was that they were intended as life preserycrs or small rafts should the emergency arise. Give me a decent sized hatpin if you want to see me knock the ambition out of the average life preseryer that de pends upon air. The women tourists simply stabbed those mattresses to death."
 The steamship company now has this notice attached to the door of every stateroom: Please DO not stick pins in the berth cushions and mattresses. Pins are injurious to them."

Only Sunhurned.

Last summer two little girls in a College avenue family were repeatedly remonstrated with by tbeir iEdulgent mother for playing bareheaded in the sun. You will be burned so badly" said she to them finally, that people will think you are black children" Her warning had little effect, however and she gave up trying to keep their hats on.
 One day she sent them to a neighbor a block or so distant to make some in- quiries concerning a washwoman. Mrs. B., the neighbor in question, mistook them for the children of a Mrs. Black who lived in another street nearby.
 You are the little Black children. are you notT' she asked.
 "Oh, mo-" came the prompt response from the elder. "Only sunburned. ."- Indianapolis News.

took them up as salad relishes. and the swells fancied them. and now any quantity of them are sold.
 The picture of this citrus fruit Is taken from one of specimen which The Rural New Yorker grew on its grounds under the most ordinary con ditions. The journal mentioned says further:
 The Kumquat is a native of southern China and forms a large bush or smaH tree when grown on its own roots in a locality free from frost. It Is extensive ly cultivated in Japan and has lately been planted in considerable quantity in Florida and California.
 The little fruits are much prized for preserving and are eaten fresh to a large extent. A sweet gelatinous lay CT is found between the sour central pulp and the thin, pleasantly favored rind and forms an agreeable combina- ton when the fruit is eaten whole. Two varieties are grown, one having round fruits and somewhat thorny branches and the other plum shaped fruits an inch in diameter and 1Ia to inches long. The trees bearing the oval or plum shaped fruits are almost thornless. For pot culture Kumquats are grafted on hardy orange Citrus trifoliata) stocks, wrich dwarfs them very much and is said to render them hardier when grown in the open.
 Little trees less than two feet high bear as many as 100 fruits, which come to full maturity and flavor in a window or under glass If given plenty of sunlight and a temperature sutfi- eicnt to keep geraniums in a growing condition. They require about the same treatment as the dwarf orange, but those grafted or budded on hardy stocks often become quite dormant after fruitin. and can be stored in a light, frost proof cellar until spring if the soil about the roots is kept mod erately moist.
 During the Towering period, in June or July, the trees should be placed outside, so that bees and other insects can have access to the blooms and in- sure pollenization. If plunged in ashes or other sharp material and faithfully watered. these dwarfed citrus plants may well spend the summer out in the sunshine, but should be taken Inside before the nights turn very chilly, es- pecially If well set with fruits.

The Kerr Plum.

Of the Kerr plum F. S. Earle of Ala bama says: This is a remarkably good plum, whose valuable qualities seem to have been overlooked by nurserymen and orchardists. It is the earliest of our really good plums, ripening here about the first of June. It Is large, rich, yellow, with firm flesh of high quality. It blooms rather late, and the tree Is a good grower. It Is strongly recommend ed for both home use and market" On the other hand, a northern grower has pronounced 1t fit only for the brush heap" You pays your money and takes your choice"
