ABOUT ALFALFA GROWING.

Some Things to Know - The Best
Year-AIways Cut on Time.
A large and increasing desire for In
formation about the culture of alfalfa
by farmers throughout Ohio leads the
station authorities to the following
statement:
On the thin clays Of the station
farm the results of the experiments
thus far made with this plant have
not been encouraging, but there are
large areas within the state where
which. when underdrained, should pro-
duce this crop to advantage. Again,
there are other regions of well drain
ed, black soils and rich, upland clays
and bottom lands, which are naturally
drained by underlying gravels. These
offer conditions that have been found
most favorable to alfalfa. Mr.. Joseph
e. Wing of Ohio, whose land is of the
kind last mentioned, has furnished the
following hints as to culture:
THE best way to SOW alfalfa is to
pillow the land deep in the spring or
winter. Turn up little new soil, har-
row down and SOW beardless spring
barley at the rate of two bushels to
the acre. Sow 10 pounds or peck of
alfalfa seed at the same time. | usu.
ally roll the land well after sowing.
This makes the alfalfa do better, but
is sometimes hard on the barley. AL
falfa will come up through very firm
soil and thrive better than when it is
too loose. Let the barley ripen, and
cut it for grain. Then when the alfalfa
starts up little clip it with the now
er. Clip 1t close. 1t will start again,
and after month or so clip again.
Keep the stock off until next year
1t is better to keep stock off for two
years. Begin moving the second year
as soon as blossoms form. After the
first crop is taken off it will mature
another in exactly 30 days. Do not
delay cutting this second crop. 1t will
take about 80 days for the third crop
TO grow. Take it off promptly. Then
In 35 or 40 days there is the fourth
crop. Take 1t or Craze 1t.
1.-THE third year is the best in the al
falfa's life, though ii may not decline
for ten years Keep all stock off 1t
after frost: 1t is deadly then. Stock in
jures 1t by treading on II after IL Is fro
zen. Do not pasture 1t close in summer.
There is point of great Importance
in the growth of alfalfa. If alfalfa
is left standing too long, there comes
on the leaves a reddish rust. This rust
causes the leaves to fall. Then the
stem becomes woody. and the hay is
of little value and If II is not cut there
will not be any growth of consequence.
AS soon. therefore, as this rust is seen
the alfalfa must be cut, and 1t must
be cut no matter If it is a small growth
another point: During a dry time
the growth may he short Cut it just
the same when the time comes. II will
then be ready TO take advantage Of a
rain and make the next crop"

The Fashion in Wells.

Wells nowadays are Of two sorts
thick and thin. The newest thick veil
is in chiffon, of course, and II has large
round holes all over it in lieu of dots,
each hole being outlined with silk of
contrasting tint TO the veil. Thus
brown chiffon has its rings outlined
III white, black in white and white in
black. But the distinction OF the veil
lies in it's henstitching. This, head
ing very deep hem, edges the veil
beth along the front and up the sides.
Only the upper edge is unhemstitcEed.
These wells come trife larger than
those worn formerly. In thin wells the
fashionable thing is fine close mesh
with a small chenille dot. There is al
most no stiffness to this yelling, thereby
insurng its wearing well. "Dressing,"
as it is called, cnly appears upon the
cheaper grades. The woven dot veil
ing to which many wcmen were
welded, not alone because of its good
taste, but for its wearing qualities, is
not to be found nowadays. 1t is out
of-date, says the shops, and to be out
of-date is to be non-purchasable. White
and black wells continue to be popu-
lar, especially among women with
graying hair and when worn with all
black hats. a few wells are worn in
the French style, reaching only to the
tip of the nose. The majority of wo-
men veil themselves TO the tip OF the
chin, the most artistic method of all.
Nobody nowadays allows her veil to
wrinkle under her chin, or, indeed,
to extend a morsel of an inch below
it. The shadows cast upon the face
and throat by ouch an arrangement
are fatal to good looks. More young
women are to-day wearing wells than
ever before. TO shroul the face is
no longer regarded as thc the badge
OF departed girlhood. The most youth
ful wells arc of the unspotted variety

Weight of Chicks.

The weight of an egg is usually
about two ounces, and that Of a new
ly Matched chick about one and a quar-
ter. At one week old two ounces. at
three weeks old six ounces, at four
weeks old fourteen ounces, at six
weeks old eighteen ounces, at seven
weeks old twenty-three ounces, at
eight weeks old twenty-eight ounces,
at nine weeks old thirty-two ounces.
at ten weeks old thirty-six ounces, at
twelve weeks old forty ounces. Natur-
ally, these weights may vary, accord
ing to the food and conditions, but
they are approximately correct.
or course, there are some breeds OF
poultry that could not be taken in such
a test, the breeds that can enter being
the standard flesh-producng classes.
And while we know that these weights
are attained quite often, and are just
what they should be. in order to get
the best results, still many poultry
raisers do not accomplish that much.
They fail in some way. and conse-
quently their chickens dc not grow as
rapidly as they should.-Home and

Cost OF u woman's Clothes.

The statement that Mrs. Roosevclt's
dress allowance is $500 a year is
discussed with keen interest by wo-
men. Some say, II don't see how she
does lt;'' ten times as many, II wish
| could spend as much" But all agree
that the mistress of the White House
sets an example of quiet and unosten-
tatious living, even though her dresses
cost-as doubtless they do-rather
more than the very small amount
named.
Yet In dress personal taste and
means should govern, not fixed rules.
If every woman of wealth should limit
her annual expenditure for dress to
$500 bankruptcy would overtake hun
dreds of thousands of merchants and
manufacturers, and many millions Of
people would face sharp distress. The
sudden Abandonment of so trivial an
article of dress as the hoopslllrt three
decades ago. threw dozens OF large
manufacturing towns into dire want.
Conversely. fashions aid has often
been invoked for trade, as when JOS
ephine al Napoleon's bidding unwill-
ingly wore French goods of new manu-
facture, or when princesses of Britain
donned Irish poplin to help its manu-
facture in the Green Island.
The taste for pretty clothes is as
innocent as a liking for antique furni-
tire, or first state" etchlngs, or water
colors, or rare books whose leaves
must remain uncut lest their value
perish. II ministers to the love and
the pride of fathers and husbands
Money is better expended for clothing
than for rich foods and wines which
overtax the digestion. And while It is
foolish to dress beyond ones means
no better advice can he given to young

Few people realize that a square
foot of the average Persian rug is
worth about $40, and 1t takes a single
weaver twenty-three days to complete
this portion. This allows the weaver
about forty-four cents per day for her
wool and her labor, but three-fourths
of this amount goes TO pay for the
wool, and only eleven cents per day
is left for the weaver. The wages of
the producer of the Inferior rugs are
a little better. A square foot is sold
for about sixty cents, and the time re.
quired for weaving it is but two days.
thus allowing the weaver thirty cents
per day for her wool and labor She
uses inferior WOOL wanting but little
OF it. and pays only nominal sum for
a cheap dye. The framework of her
loom costs comparatively little. as the
rug it produces is from twenty to
thirty times the size Of the superior
rug. Thus it appears that in the long
run the inferior weaver is better paid
than the one who fatigues her brain
with her efforts TO produce n rug of
the best quality. .-Chicago Record-Her-

The interior arrangement Of a barn
Is one Of the utmost Importance, since
on proper arrangement depend the
convenience and economy of time in
doing the work. 1t is well, therefore,
when building n barn to sit down with
paper and pencil and make interior
plans. When a plan has been made
go to work and do the ''chores" right
there in the plan. Feed the stock,
water it, care for it In every way as
though in the real barn, and you will
very quickly find the Inconvenience
Of the plan. 1t is much easier to
change a barn interior on paper than
in the actual barn, and very much less
eXpensive.-New York Tribune.

My Lady Dainty, who has a genius

tails not seen by all the world, says
that she considers muslin or linen COW

to fit the inside of the drawer. They
are OF blue, white or pink, according
to the room for which they are intend.

the drawer look neat, keeping out dust

Lady Dainty is fond OF fine lace and

Feeding steers For Profit.

Farmers who buy steers to feed do
so with the object of having the cattle
consume a large proportion of the fod
der, straw and other coarse foods
The manure is considered the profit
the price for the food being returned
when the steers are sold. Many farm.
ers feed steers only during the winter
months, and do not use much grain or
hay. The fact is that If the farmers
who feed steers will use a liberal sup
ply of grain, and even buy cottonseed
meal to assist the coarse foods, they
will not only have manure that is
much richer. but also secure a more
rapid gain in the weight of the ami
mails. Frequently the lack of a single
element in the food will entail loss, be-
cause the animal requires just the one
substance in order to thrive Any ex.
pense in providing varied foods will
bring back dollars for dimes.

Keeping onions over Winter.

A well known scotsman recommends
laying onions eighteen inches thick on
the floor in some outbullding. and as
soon as cold weather sets in with
freezing temperature, cover with
swamp hay, not far from two feet in
depth, with about the same thickness
of hay between the onions and the side
of the building.
Do not uncover or disturb in any
way until freezing weather is past, nor
then until just about ready to sell. 1t
will be best for the frost to come out
before any of the hay is removed, but
if it is desired to market before the
frost would naturally leave, then take
off part never all, OF the hay TO pre-
mote thawing.
