to put a chair out In the hall and sit
there with an atlas of the world In his
lap writing his Christmas sermon on

1t was not more than half-past nine
the next morning when the Rev. Mr..
Stanwix mounted the Wilkinson steps
and tugged at the door bell. He asked
for Jane. 1t seemed rather queer. but
they ushered him into the parlor and

story short, It wasn't ten minutes

crops. About q dozen years ago a
farmer living In the edge OF the city
OF Champaign succeeded admirably In
growing alfalfa. His second years
crops totaled up eight or ten tons
to the acre. He wrote extensively OF
his alfalfa field and thereby stimulst ted
others TO SOW alfalfa seed. He had
u%nbounded confidence In Il himself.
Later he ceaseu to write, and his al
falfa field dropped from public notice.
Last week an old resident Of Cham
paign told the writer the sequel to the
alfalfa story told so long ago. In the
third year only a few scattered tufts
OF alfalfa appeared. and blue grass be-
gan to appear. On the fourth year the
whole area formerly covered with al
falfa was "as pretty a blue grass pas
ture as you would want to sce." Other
alfalfa fields In Illinois have gone the
same way. In the case of the crop In
question the land could be credited
with only one crop In three years. as
the third year gave nothing. Blue
grass seems to be an obstacle To the
growing Of alfalfa, rs 1t Is said to BIO
able to drive out the first named plant.
The Farmers Review will be glad to
hear from its Illinois readers that have
had experience with alfalfa.

Alfalfa In Illinois.

This year renewed interest has been
shown In the growing Of alfalfa In
Illinois. Here and there are farmers
that sowed alfalfa seed In the spring
Of 1900 and this year moved three and
ven four successive crops, getting
from four to eight tons OF alfalfa hay
per acre In the aggregate. OF course
this yield really represents the prod
ucts Of two seasons-the season OF
1900 and 1901, and the tonnage will
have to be divided by two to get the
annual yield. This will give from two
to four tons as the annual yields per
acre. There are some farmers that
seem to hold the opinion that the few
marked successes this year prove con-
clusively that alfalfa Is the coming
great hay crop for this section. This
opinion may prove to be correct. but
about two more years will be required
to demonstrate 1t. Judging the future
by the past the second years crop OF
alfalfa In Illinois Is not so nard to
get as the third and fourth years

Permanent pa.t,rs,

At most farmers conventions dur,px
recent years. the permanent pasture
has been either ignored or condemned.
n pasture that can take It's place
In the rotation has come to be quite
generally considered as the only profit
able one for the advanced farmer.
Some OF u best dairymen declare
u does not pay to pasture land worth
800 per acre, and that the returns
In feed from the permanent pasturuge
are too small to be considered. Mr..
Gurler. who raises enough feed on m
acre to more than support n COW n
year certainly seems to have the argu-
ment on his side when he declares that
he cannot afford to pasture his land.
But at the convention of Illinois
Live Stock Breeders last week. Pro-
lessor Curtiss, OF the Iowa Agricultural
College. declared very emphatlcally In
favor Of the permanent pasture. He
declared that beef could be made
cheaper on grass than on anything
else. The pastures should receive reg
ular attention every year, as blue grass
pastures have a tendency to run u
IL grazed constantly. The best pas
ture land Is that that has never seen
a pillow. He recited the fact that Eng
lish pastures are allowed to remain
In grass for hundreds Of years. He
renews his pastures by disking and
narrowing whenever the land seems
to require II. This work Ia done In the
spring as soon as the frost Is out Of
the ground.
II was urged by other men present
that these old pastures sometimes get
too rich with tho droppings from sue
cessive generations Of animals. Mr..
s. N. King said that he had a pasture
that had not been disturbed for thir-
ty-fve years. and during that time has
received the manure from cattle, hor-
sec. sheep and swine. In some places
now the grass Is left untouched. and
the cattle will not eat It even II It II
cut and dried. He had formed the
opinion that the land is too rich and
should be plowed up. Mr.. McCutchen
said ho had had a pasture that acted
that way. and he had overcome the
difficulty by going over It with q disk
and harrow.
lows conditions may differ essen
tally from those In Illinois, but such
Is probably not the case. Whether
the permanent pasture be profitable
or not. II is certainly In evidence on
every hand. For tho most part, the
permanent pasture is the most neglect
ed land on the farm. Professor Curtiss
could not have had the average pas
ture In mind when he declared 1t prof.
table. Doubtless the permanent pas
ture that makes part Of his theory
Is one SO we'll cared for that each acre
will give 365 days feeo In a year. Such
a pasture may be profitable. even on
high-priced land.

pers and pipes and shot-guns and Slip
pers. And in the case OF q parson it's
still worse-you've got to drop of the
pipes and shotguns, leaving only Slip
pers-and slippers. OF course there are
book-marks and easy chairs. but the
first are trivial and the latter expen-
sive; besides, II he Is unmarried ana
you are Of the opposite sex, and In the
same state, you will see that you ought
to give him something made with your
own fair hands, and you can't make an
easy chair. So slippers 1t had to be
for the Rev. M. Stanwix, especially
after his landlady had been sounded
on the subject and reported that the
poor man didn't have q slipper to his
name.
Well. the result was. Of course. that
the whole hundred and ~thirty-six mar
riageable ladies at Appleburg went to
work on slippers: and a few Of the
flock who already had husbands also
began slippers. out of the goodness OF
their hearts. probably. or maybe think
ing that they might be widows some
day and might as we'll have a pair to
their credit. The slaughter OF plush
and embroidery materials was some
thing cyclonic, and the local shoe
maker had to sit up nights pegging on
soles. Even unfortunate little Jane
Wilkinson went at q pair hammer and
tongs, though everybody said she
hadn't a ghost Of a show. In the first
place Jane was too young-her older
sister Katharine was conceded to have
a right to enter for the contest, but It
was universally held that Jane had no
right to compete at all. Besides be-
ing too young-she was really nineteen
or twenty--she was also plain. She
might have a certain girlish prettiness.
but not the beauty which the wife Of
so handsome a shepherd as the Rev.
Mr.. Stanwix should have. Further
more. Jane was In no other way adapt
ed for the ~position-she had been a
good deal of q tomboy. and was yet, for
that matter; she was frivolous and
careless. and was always putting her
foot In 1t. The first time the pastor
had called at the Wilkinson house.
and while Katherine was entertaining
him in the parlor in the most ap-
proved and c%ircumspect manner, Jane
had blundered in. and inside of 1--WE
minutes asked him why he didn't get
married-all the girls said he ought
to. Jane had explained to everybody
that she meant It as q Joke. but It haa
generally been pronounced ill-timed
and In bad taste.
But poor Jane kept working away on
her slippers regardless of the talk
Everybody said that James slippers
wouldn't fit. or that they would both
be for one foot. or that she would get
the heels sewed on the toe end. or
something. Jane finally put on the
finishing touches and|then packed them
In n pasteboard bog and tied 1t with
pink ribbon.
Then she got her other Christmas
presents ready. She had e lot Of h.nd-
kercniefs for an aunt. and a shopping
