HAIR Treatment.

Il has been suggested that one Of the
reasons some women lose their hair is
that they wear 1t done up in one way
for years. No hair can stand auch
treatment and hive. II there is but one
way that the hair con be arranged in
a becoming manner. 1t win, OF course,
have to ba worn that way most OF the
time. but between whiies It can be put
up q different way. The woman at
homo ought to have no difficulty what
ever to arrange her hair to relieve the
usual style. II she is in the habit Of
wearing It on top Of her head because
It suits her style best that way, then
as an Offset and rest It might be worn
for few quiet hours coiled ut the back
Of the neck. 1t may not be pretty, but
1t may sape her from the awful bald

Seeding Crops in Com.

During the last few years good
many farmers in the corn belt have
been very successful in establishing
another crop in corn fields before
the removal Of the latter crop. In
some instances q goodstand Of clover
has been obtained. In this case
twelve OF fifteen pounds Of clover
seed per acre lis sown at, the last
plowing. II there is sufficient mois-
ture to germinate the seed the
chances are that it will make a good
growth. Where this practice is
adopted special care should be taken
to make the surface Of the soil hs
nearly level before leaving it as pos
sible. We have in mind o few in
stances where the one-horse cultiyat-
or was used in both directions after
sowing the seed. This leaves the
soil in good condition and also
covers all the seed, with the excep-
ton of a small amount in the vicinity
of the corn hills. When clover is
sown in this manner it is necessary
to cut and shock the corn in the fall
and to remove it during the early
fallo winter 30 that the growth Of
the clover is not interfered with.
Rape may also be sown in corn
fields at the last plowing. In this
case five or six pounds Of seed per
acre will make a fine growth, pro
yiding there is moisture enough to-
induce its termination. Corn fields
sown to rape may be pastured early
in the season by either hogs OF sheep,
without any damage whatever being
done to The corn crop. Apart from
the value Of the pasture which is
furnished by rape there is the adj
ditional advantage that such q
growth tends to keep down weeds,
this being matter Of no minor inn
portance. If there is to be a fall
growth on the land it is certainly
much better to grow something that
is of value as food than to grow
weeds that are not only valueless in
themselves, but again seed the
soil for another year. We believe
that the practice Of seeding down
corn fields will be much more gen
orally practiced in the future than it
has been in the past. Homestead.

When to sem Hor,.

A Nebraska correspondent to Wal
laces' Farmer who has car load Of
hogs weighing from 275 to 300
pounds and ready to go, who has al
so about l6O pigs and twenty brood
sows and expects to raise 800 pigs
this year, wishes to know when he
should sell his fat hogs after de-
cline of from 30 cents to 35 cents per
hundredweight.
We can not answer this question
specifically. If we could always tell
our readers when to sell, by going
into the commission business our
selves we would not need to run an
agricultural paper very long. We
can only say that if we had hogs Of
that weight, ready to go, and $50
pigs surely coming on, and possibly
800, we would sell the fat hogs and
turn our attention to pushing the
youngsters.
Why? Because bushel of corn,
or its equivalent in otherfeed, would
make from ten to fifteen pounds on
these youngsters until they were fifty
pounds weight. The gains would
decrease right along as the hogs in
crease in weight, and we would not
expect to make more than six pounds
per bushel of grain on hogs over $50
pounds weight. In other words, there
would be more gain from our grain
on pigs and shoats, and, we think,
more money even at the lower price.
That the present high prices OF hogs
can not be maintained Indefinitely is
as plain as pikestaff. Just how
long they will continue no mortal
man can tell.
The principle we have always fol-
lowed is that when hogs are readyto
go to let them 60. The higher the
price the more profit can be made in
feeding heavy hogs, but we would
not think Of growing hogs over $50
pounds unless we had no youngsters
coming on. We believe that when
hogs are four cents and under the
proper weight at which to sell them
is l75 pounds; when they are FIVE
cents, 200 pounds; when they are six
cents, 225 pounds; and when they
are seven cents, 250 pounds,
