REFLECTIONS.

A wife often permits her affection to
blind her reason.
Regard for petty things often will
dwarf mans ambition.
A woman's love can become annoy
ing as well as burdensorne.
Marriage based on honest affection
will withstand the ravages Of time.
tn When a woman gives way to anger,
she begs her own pardon with tears.
Many women find happiness only
when attending to the affairs Of others.
Confidence is not easily gained where
exaggerated love of self is found to
exist.
To decide between love and duty has
caused hours of worry to men as well
as to women.
The man with vice wonders why
so many persons think it their duty to
make public the fact.
3 Man often shows the hard side OF his
disposition TO mark more strongly the
generous shades.-Philadelph Bulle-

The average person in danger OF
drowning usually attempts to lift q life
buoy over his head, with the result
tlIat he Is Immediately plunged deeper
into the water. A good swimmer can
do this with a sudden upward jerk, but
with the nonswimmer it is almost an
impossiblefeat 4st .4.slt t. al.
What he. should do when he, has
seized the buoy is TO place both hands,
palms downward, on the buoy ON the
part nearest the body, pressing 1t
downward and slightly away, when the
farther part of the buoy will rise out OF
the water and actually fall over the
head. The arms can then be put

Dodder In Alfalfa.


Dodder In Alfalfa.
The alfalfa seed comes very largely
from the irrigated region. especially
from Colorado and Utah. Two kinds
of dodder seeds are common in this
western alfalfa seed. The kind more
common has seeds that will pass
through twenty mesh sieve, while
the other is more nearly the size of
the alfalfa seed. More than one-haf
the samples Of alfalfa seeds examined
in Nevada two or three years ago CON
tanned the small seeded dodder, While
more than one-fourth of them contain
ed the larger dodder seed. OF fifteen
samples of alfalfa seed recently exam
ined in Ohio two contained seeds of
the smaller seeded and two of the lar
ger seeded dodder, but the number of
seeds found of the small seeded dodder
was many times that Of the larger
seeded.
The many cases of dodder killed
patches in alfalfa fields last season
and these facts just stated show that
no one should SOW alfalfa seed with
out recleaning through sieve Of twen-
ty meshes to the inch before sowing.
