Of extensive herds in the State chop
the hay for feeding. All animals eat
the chopped feed clean, thereby max

The "SIen of Mind.

A French writer has recently pub.
lished book made up of the Opinions
ON life" of French girls between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one. He
wrote to hundreds of these young girls
living in Paris as well as in the pro-
vincial towns and received replies from
many.
Referring to Madame de StaeTs say
ing that she would not want to open
her window if it gave on to the Bay
Of Naples, but would walk five hundred
leagues to talk to man Of mind she
did nor know, one girl airily declares:
IF I had a window looking out on the
Bay of Naples 1 would open it and look
out. And if at a hundred leagues fur
Their on dwelt a man of mind, l would
go two hundred leagues further off to
avoid his acquaintance; for men OF
mind are like pictures. they gain from
a distant view"

All soils contain fertility to a GER
ain degree, and in even the most fertile
soils there are dominant or insolu-
bic substances, varying in compost
ton, but which cannot be appropria-
ted by some crops, though easily avail
able for others, but if such elements
are not appropriated by the crop occu-
plying the ground they are gradually
being reduced or being changed in
composition so as to be put in condi-
tion for the succeeding crop; hence To-
tation, therefore, not only prevents the
loss of certain substances in the soil,
but assists in converting the locked
up elements Of the soil into available
plant foods, In this country no sys.
tenn of rotation is deemed complete
without clover, while in England tur-
nips and sheep are considered essen
tial to success. Rotation largely de-
ponds upon the soil and its condition,
but ali soils are subject to mechanical
changes. 1t has been demonstrated
that green crops are valuable in re.
storing fertility. and lime has been
found a valuable assistant, especially
in preparing the soil for the work of
bacteria, by neutralizing the acidity,
but the best results are obtained by
not only varying the crops grown, but
also 10y studying the characteristics OF
the Philadelphia Record.
1t is estimated that nearly 100000.

Glove Buying.

to me.
Not even glove sales?" I ques-

Never" she replied emphatically,
adding: MY investigation has proven
to me that the so-called bargain ar
ticlcs are cheap and often worthless
ones. We get what we pay for; no
more certainly, and we hope not less.
l am speaking now Of firms whose
business life is the ever eXacting rush
of special sales. For service, com
fort, style and fit the glove should be
carefully selected. A well-made, we'll
fitting glove does more to determine
the lady than any other article Of APP
parel unless it be shoes.
"Cheapness is not economy. Extrav-
agance is not economy. Only the
best article comes under the economi-
cal code. This code demands an elias
tic kid. which IS soft and moulds it
self to the hand from finger tip to
wrist. A glove too small cannot at
tain to perfection. One need not err
in this respect, for the best gloves
are made for long, medium and short
fingers.
Having once secured a fit it is
well to adhere to the make The
Suede is chic, but an extravagant
luxury to the average pocketbook, as
they do not shed soil readily. Black
gloves also cannot claim a recommen-

The most famous halrdresser In
London has startled the fashionable
ladies' OF England by warning them
that IN following old traditions, they
are brushing the beauty out Of their
hair
"The incessant brushing of the
present day is ruinous to the hair" he
says. "Some women used to give
their hair one hundred strokes of the
brush night and morning, and have
good hair in spite of it. An occas-
ional person might do so now, but the
good hair is in spite Of the brush not
because Of It.
"All new hairs appear first as a soft,
delicate fuzz, easily pulled out or de-
stroyed. Stiff brushing win wear
them out, just as it will wear out the
nap Of cloth. The hair-roots try to
make up for the destruction. They
are forced into abnormal growth, and
their life force is depleted. The old
hair is falling. The new hair is not
being allowed to live and grow. The
life force is being exhausted. The
hair gets thin, struggling, unhealthy,
dies out altogether, and there you
have the bald woman or man."

some Facts About the Geisha Girl.

"The idea so general here in Amer
lea" said a woman who has just
returned from Japan, that the geisha
is a silly, giggling little girl with a
fan must really be corrected. The
geisha in reality is a little genius, bril-
liant as a talker and mistress Of the
art Of dancing. But she knows that
the Westerner does not understand her
classical dancing and singing, and she
is so refined and charming that she
will not allow you to feel you are ig-
norant. but win instantly begin to
amuse you in some way that she
thinks you viii enjoy and understand.
"She viii, perhaps, unfold paper and
draw rapid character sketches of birds
and fish, or dance a sort of spirited
dance that she feels win entertain you.
