perhaps as much as five tons per acre. selling at from $10 to s12 per ton. Besides this a crop of seed worth from BIO to S13 per acre may be harvested Much of this alfalfa is pastured and here comes In an- other source of revenue, but the crop is never pastured when the soil is wet When 1t begins to rain all stock are taken off the fields and kept off until the ground Is perfectly dry This is another good point to remember
 Live Stock on the Farm.
 Colonel Smith believes that 1t is good economy to feed large amount of his crops to live stock on the farm, and so has his farm well supplied with high grade stock The young man who takes care of the stock oh his farm I found in charge of the following: One hundred horses and mules. 20 milk COWS, 300 dry or beef cattle, 5000 hogs and about 90 goats. It is remarkable how well all stock grow and thrive on alfalfa, Hogs grow and keep fat on the hay. and 1t is a strange sight 10 see alfalfa hay hauled and fed to hogs the same as to other stock Low racks are prepared for feeding the hay to hogs so that they may not run over and waste the hay. All stock seem to relish the wilted hay better than when fed to them green. A horse will run on a green alfalfa pasture all day, yet when brought to the barn will eat a great quantity of the wilted hay. All in all. alfalfa Is a wonderful plant, and the hay crop of the future.
 Leaving the alfalfa farm. my next stop was at Dallas, where I spent day with the National Nurserymen, who were in convention there. After crossing the Red river into Texas I found crop conditions much better, though far from what lney should be at this season. The corn crop Is very irregular and not well worked, owing to the excessive rains. Cotton is also irregular with a poor stand. and is foul in general Many fields not ye chopped over. Wheat and oats were de- cidedly better. and there is a good crop of early potatoes now ready for market, though the acreage of this crop is below what it has been for several years In northern Texas. There Is an abundant fruit crop in this part of the state.

Absurdities of Chinese Language.

traveller recently returned from an extensive tour of China confides to liar per's Weekly some entertaining views up- on the language of that country.
 Tt is absolutely impossible" he writes, Ito conceive of a nation speaking as many dialects as you will find in China. A foreigners ability to speak Chinese is a practically worthless requirement. as about every twenty-five miles the dialect changes to such an extent as to be prac- tically another language, and even if you are speaking the best mandarin-the eour. language-you are quite apt to be told that your honogabe foreign language is not understood. Even the governors of the provinces have to employ interpreters to communicate with the people they gov ern.

Wedding Decorations.

From Harper's Bazaar.
 In all decorating avoid mixing flowers to any great extent. You may like to carry out a color scheme in more than one variety of flower: for instance, you may use pink roses and carnations to- gether, or even add a third pink flower But the tendency is more and more to keep in the main one thing which idea is related to the fashion for simplicity An exception to this is found in the mixing of flowers which nature herself has a fancy for mixing, such as the various spring blossoms which may all be found growing together in an old-tme garden.
 An example of this is found in the pres ent popularity of jonquils and daffodils They harmonize so perfectly in color, form, size and season that they mingle like old friends.
 The garnishng of the wedding break fast table is extremely simple. consist ing of a banking of white roses in the centre. Of course you may vary this as your purse or your taste dictates. Daisies white carnations, white sweet peas are all favorite flowers for the brides table

SHE TOLD A STORY.

Il Spoiled the Lunch, but Crushed che
literary Lady.
When q noted woman writer visit
ed Washington not long ago q
luncheon was given in her honor,
and there came to the entertain
ment woman who always refers to
herself as literary, though nobody
ever chances upon any of her pro-
auctions in any known magazine.
And opposite that literary lady sat
woman who hates her with the
bitter and undying hatred which can
exist only between women who have
lived on adjoining floors in an apart
ment house, with dumb waiter in
common. The literary lady monop-
Olized the conversation.
SsYou and / have similar tastes .
said she to the guest of honor. 81
write stories now ar j then"
The woman opposite drew her
dirk and spoke up then.
q never hear anybody say now
and then,'" she said, without re-
calling story they tell up Boston
way about the captain of a sailing
vessel. He was hard master and
found it difficult to get crew. The
question was one of grog. At length
he promised the men he wanted to
sail with him that they should have
their grog now and them He was
man of his word. As the schoon-
er sailed out of the harbor he called
all hands on deck and ladled out
grog.
This is now, said he. Z am
giving you your grog now. When
we pass Boston light again, coming
home, that will be then. You'll
have your grog now and then. 2
You couldn't have melted the ice
cream at that luncheon after that
if you'd set it on the kitchen range.
