Mr.. L. c. Pickett of Hidalgo, Texas, cut
his alfalfa eight times last year. He made ton
to the acre each cutting and sold it for SIP
ton. Thus each acre earned 500 in the year.
You see, down in the Gulf Coast Country alfal-
ia grows ffty-two weeks in the year and can be
cut every six weeks. 1t does not need great
deal of attention, and while it is growing you
can be busy raising high-priced garden truck
on another part of your land. Write Mr.
Pickett at Hidalgo, and he will tell you more of
the possibilities of this country. Down there
they also raise two or three crops of corn
year and cut forty to sixty tons of sugar cane
from an acre. .-. ~ ae.at

BE A GOOD LISTENER.

A Charm Which Women Would Do
Well to Cultivate.
The wise woman is a good listener
as well as a good conversationalist. II
Is much more of an art to draw out
the best thoughts of other people than
it Is to converse well oneself. One
often meets intelligent persons who
never enter a room full of people with
out monopoli5ing the conversation.
Their faculty for useless chatter Is
unlimited, and their conversation is
literally interspersed with the pro-
noun I.
Well bred people have wholesome
dislike Of talking about themselves.
One never knows how much they
know or what wonderful sights they
have seen unless some circumstance
occurs to bring 1t out. It Is left for
the person Of few ideas and narrow vi.
sion to keep up ceaseless chatter. II
is the occasional traveller who seeks to
impress upon her friends the fact that
she has seen something of the world.
She never misses q chance Of speaking
about it. While this La not an unpar-
donabie fault, it Is a disagreeable one,
which sometimes causes the inveterate
talker to be spoken of In terms any.

TOILET TIPS.

A good bleach for the skin is a pinch
Of boracic acid in the water in which
you bathe.
A soft linen cloth which is employed
for no other purpose is better to use
when bathing the eyes than sponge.
Massage with this cream for enlarged
pores: One ounce Of white wax, one
ounce spermaceti, one ounce almond
oil, one dram violet extract.
Tincture of myrrh is a breath sweet
ener. and only few drops in half
glass Of water-just enough to make q
milky lotion-are needed.
A benzoin bath is excellent to con-
tract the pores. This is made by TAX
ing a big basin of warm water and
dropping little benzoin into it. There
should be just enough to make the wa
ter milky.
It Is not how much of the tonic is
put on the hair, but how much is rub

Two ounces Of castor oil. four ounces
Of alcohol, five or six drops Of oil Of

The day of the small boy, the toy

Us once more, and great will be the
celebration thereof throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Incl

that it is only recalled by the clarion
voiced orators who annually devote
their energies to making tae eagle
