COSTUME OF GRAY CLOTH. collars are also considered smart, and in general bands of shirring are par ticularly good form in trimming.
 Some dresses designed for midwin- ter have the entire lower half of the skirt made of fur and bands of heavy silk, while a similarly contrived cape with long front tabs gives an air O; chic to the costume.
 The ideal travelling coat is of soft silk or cloth, with a full cape reaching to the wrist. The length of the coat is fhree-quarters.
 A fine sable stole seen recently was seven inches wide and reached to the bottom of the skirt. It was absolutely flat, the lower edge fringed with sa- ble tails. It was worn crossed over at the waist line.
 French women are fond of the quiet. small, old fashioned black and white. brown and white and dark blue and white shepherds plaid, made with the trotteuse skirt and little plain cloth coat of corresponding color.
 The picture shows a costume of gray cloth trimmed with shirrings and mar row bands of chinchilla.

Alfalfa Seed.

In another column will be seen the
announcement of McBeth & Kinnison,
of Garden City, Kan, who have alfal-
ia, cane and millet seed for SALE They
are in the center of the principal al
falfa seed producing district of the
United States, and make this seed a
speciality. On application they will
quote you prices on 1902 crop, also
send instructions how to prepare the
soil for sowing this king of forage
plants alfalfa. Our readers are gener-
ally aware that this firm has long
been the leading western dealers in
alfalfa seed and they will readily I'M
derstand that the firm has better facil-
tiles for securing and sending out
fresh pure seen than any of their COM
petitors.
Our readers are aware that we have
strongly advocated the growing of al
falfa and believe that there is no for
age plant known to the West that is
so practical for all classes of stock
and for all purposes for which a for
age plant can be used Our readers
should not fail to write for prices and
arrange to SOW at least five acres this
very favorable spring.

1000, 900 Customers.

1t is proud record, and an unusual
one, yet it has been achieved by the
John A Salzer Seed Co.
Salzer's Seeds are grown in more
gardens, and planted Oh more farms
in America, than any other seeds sold,
and for the reason is found, perhaps,
in the truth of the firms motto
"Salzer's Seeds Never Fail" Owning
and operating over 5000 acres for the
produc ION of choice seeds, the most
complete facilities are here united
with long and varied experience; and
the result is a product in seeds, that
has never before been equaled. And
the large scale on which the Salzer
business is conducted, is fully match
ed by the liberal principles which rule
the trade of the house in it's treatment
of customers. Each year more and
more surprisingly generous offer is
made to planters, and as appreciative-
ly accepted This year is no excep-
ton. and $1,000 for 10c" is the
tempting and encouraging proffer for
1903. For 10 cents in stamps, the
planter will receive Salzer's Great Cat
alogue, the finest ever issued, and
farm seed samples fully worth ten dol
lars to get start with.
Such, among others, are the methods
which have brought 100000 custom
ers to the John A. Salzer Seed Co.,
La Crosse, Wis.

That az Ton clover.

Egypt is referred to as the Mother
of Agriculture" The farmer may re-
gard this as interesting as matter
of history, but he is more keenly in
terested in the good things in the way
of plants that are coming from that
valley at this day. The latest impor-
tation from the Valley of the Nile
made by the seed house of Currie
Brothers of Milwaukee, Wis, and Of
fered to their customers for the first
time this year, is their Egyptian
Glover, which has record of AZ tons
per acre in single year. This is
yield so sensational that we should
be inclined to doubt it if the import
ers did not hold conclusive proof,
showing the exact amount harvested
at each one of the three cuttings, AZ
tons in all. This is yield from
single acre which would do credit to
esmall farm. The Department OF
Agriculture at Washington was quick
to investigate it and has shown its
high appreciation of it by publishing
special Bulletin upon it, urging its
general introduction. Verify the day
OF big things with the farmer seems
Just to be dawning. This Egyption
Glover affords a good illustration OF

A Test of the Best.

At the great Missouri State Poultry
Show just held at Springfield, in com
petition with the best that is made,
the st. Helen's Incubator Co., OF To-
ledo, Washington, was awarded high
est honors and first premium for best
hatch and best incubator.
Without question there is some
thing extra fine about the st. Helens
Incubators as they have never yet
been defeated for best hatch, and 1t
is the hatch that counts.

what the extensive farming of the
present day means. A clover of ex-
cellent quality yielding upwards of 40
tons per acre Is a matter to interest
every farmer. 1t will be found priced
in the Currie Brothers advertisement
elsewhere in this paper. The figures
are under, rather than above, what
would be expected for plant capable
of such an enormous yield. It's merits
are fully set forth in a new 1903 Cata-
logue just published by Currie Bros.
The book shows that this firm will
be a good one to patronize for about
everything required for the field and
garden this spring. Our readers should
hasten to have it forwarded to them.
