There is not much difference in cost
Of seed and work, except the saving of
the clover hay; but I have estimated
the value Of it rather low. 1 would
take ton of it rather than the best
timothy hay at the same price for
horse or cow, if cut at the proper time,
and that is just as soon as the blossom
is bloOmed out. / have been feeding
it to the same horses. every year for
twelve years
Farmers do not dispense with this
most valuable fertilizing material that
you can have by the saving Of the seed
at very small cost. Sow seedlin corn
the very next day after a good rain
and harrow in with a small tooth
harrow and you will be sure Of a stand.

Notice To Farmers.

Why are many farmers depending
upon bow peas instead of scarlet clover
for improving their land; and especi.
ally for growing corn2 The following
is the estimate from one acre of land
improved by the use of COW peas, and
one acre with clover for growing corn
expressly for ten years. Cow peas
sowed first year, let remain on land on
top over winter; second year but in
corn; third year COW peas; fourth corn;
50 by the use Of COW peas we get one.
crop Of corn every two years, or five
crops in the ten years, or 10 bushels.
With the use of scarlet clover: Sow first
year turn under second year and plant
to corn; sow clover in corn after corn
is laid by, latter part Of July or August;
third year cut clover off for hay and
plant to corn. This is done every year
in succession, 80 we get 9 crops ofcorn,
or $50 bushels,and crops Of hay or y
tons.

and before we knew it we had spent 81.
What do you suppose we had? We
were so hungry we ate whole heaping
tray of cakes and drank two cups each
of Vanilla's richest chocolate with
whipped cream on it, and after that we
had each a NeapoIitan ice cream. This
might seem to some folks like very rich
food, but not to me. / was brought up
on rich things, you know. Nothing is
too rich for me. Plain, common food l
can't eat at all.
I'VE had so much to talk about that
we stayed at Vanillas over two hours
chatting, so that we had just time to
call a carriage and drive to the matt
nee We had splendid seats, the best
in the house, and it was lovely. After
the matinee we both felt hungry, per-
fectly ravenous again, and we went
back to Vanilla's and got some more
cakes and chocolate with whipped
cream. Then I went home to dinner
with Mrs. Outoftown, and we had bare
ly time after dinner to get carriage
and go to the theater. Mrs. Outof-
towns husband always takes a stage
box. We could see all the womens
dresses, and it was the sweetest play
you ever saw We both just cried all
the way through it from beginning to
end, and I never enjoyed anything so
much in my life. After it was over we
all felt hungry forgot to tell you our
husbands were with us-and we all
went to Topprice's and had a theater

1t is entirely made of tiny ruff1es of
pink mousseline de sole over taffeta of
the same shade. The waist is all ruff
f1es down to within a few inches of the
belt, where it reveals a blouse effect of
accordion plated mousseline. The
sleeves are something new, reaching to
half way between the shoulder and the
elbow, length that is very becoming
to a plump, youthful arm. The upper
part is laid in small tucks and then
follow three graduated ruff1es. The
skirt is perhaps the prettiest part of
the whole costume. 1t is entirely COM
posed of tucks, which are set on an in
visible gored ruffie at the bottom to
give the proper flare about the feet.
There are at the back a smart girdle
of black velvet with an outstanding
