ALFALFA DID RATHER WELL.

After several years trial on average
gravelly clay soil of southern Penn
sylvania the experiment station peo-
pie have drawn the following about
alfalfa:
Under favorable conditions alfalfa
yields a most satisfactory crop for
selling and for hay.
Alfalfa should be cut when coming
into blossom; if the cutting is delayed
until full bloom, the stalks become
more woody and undesirable, and the
Under average good conditions
from twenty to thirty pounds Of seed
should be sown per acre.
Summer or fall seeding following
thorough tillage is recommended.
Spring seeding is more likely to be
choked oIt by weeds.
Deep, well-drained soils are best.
Do not SOW on wet land.
Alfalfa thrived in compact, gravel
ly soil of good drainage quite as well
as in loose loan.
Alfalfa grew best where a heavy ap-
plication of phosphoric acid and pot
ash had been made
Five tons of manure per acre gave
better results than the phosphoric acid
and potash contained in five hundred
pounds of good brand of commercial
fertilizer
Turkestan alfalfa did not equal in
yield the common alfalfa.
Fall-seeded alfalfa on dry land will
withstand severe winters of this eli
mate perfectly; in fact, better than
the common red clover.
Where conditions were such as to
give the plant strong and vigorous
start, nodules appeared on the roots.
Where plants were weak and slow
in starting to grow, few of them
possessed nodules.
Lime has not given satisfactory re-
suits. In some instances it has given
no appreciable results; in other cases
it has been decidedly harmful; in no
case was it applied to advantage.
In several instances the alfalfa
withstood the first winter, but was
completely winter killed during the
second. The larger growth seemed to
give no assurance of the ability of the
plants to withstand severe freezing
if the soil is wet.
The yield the record year was about
fourteen tons of green fodder or four
or five tons of hay per acre.-Boston
Cultivator.

TOWELS FOR FACE.

There seems to be an impression
that the use of coarse towels is good
for the skin; this is a mistake;
coarse quality of cloth will rougnen
the face and neck, while it is, per-
haps, better in bringing about the
pleasant glow after cold bath, on
the rest of the body.
Soft, old damask is the best OF all
to use in wiping the face, neck
hands and arms after the thorough
cleansing that should be given every
night. And where one has been ex-
posed to an atmosphere of dust and
CRIME, thick coating of cold cream,
allowed to remain half an hour and
then wiped off with a soft, old clotn,
will bring such an astonishing lot OF
that dust and CRIME with it.

purple and silver of the coming day.
An open-air service follows in front of
the church, v'hich is brief, and in
which several thousands of people
usually participate At its conclu-
sion a line OF march is formed. The
senior priest of the church, arrayed
in canonicals, followed by the other
pastors similarly attired, heads the
procession. They are followed by
the choir and the young women from
the college, all dressed in white and
wearing lilies of the valley. Behind
them, formed in ranks of fo1rs, comes
the congregation. AS the band strikes
up an old familiar hymn the process
sion moves through the town at a
slow march, on to the entrance of
the cemetery, and thence down that
beautiful broad walk, "The Avenue

count with certainty upon hearing
high class music beautifully rendered.
At Bethlehem the cultivation of mu-
sic has been carried by the church to
an extent that would make it famous
if it could show no other good works.
The result is of course that their
Easter ceremonials are more than
ordinarily interesting. Perhaps no
church in the State of Pennsylvania
has a choir that is superior, or equal,
to that which assemblies there in the
old church every Sunday morning.
Taking this choir as nucleus, the
church some years ago began to build
UP a great musical organization. Its
success was so great that it was de-
cided to give grand mass as a part
of the Easter services. Bach's in ''B
minor was selected, and so perfect
ly enchanting was it's rendition that
it completely captivated the country.
1t has been made part of the Easter
ceremonial, and is now celebrated ev.
cry year, with the result of drawing
each time larger congregations than
any building in Bethlehem can accom-
modate.-Woman's Home Companion.

modulated voice he tells them what
the death and the Resurrection mas
done for them in the world, and coun-
sells them to follow in their daily at
fairs the life of the lowly Nazarene,
as the greatest of all earthly wisdom.
Then there is more music, benedic-
ton, and the sunrise service or the
Moravians is over.
At Bethlehem the Easter service OF
the Moravians is very similar to that
of Salem. The program begins there
also at midnight in the historic OLD
church. During the nocturnal sacred
concert an elaborate program is al
ways rendered in front Of the veneer
able old Rising Sun Inn, and there is
invariably a large audience of out-of-
town visitors, who come to witness
the ceremonies. The sisters of the
Moravian convent take conspicuous
part in all these services, including
the one at the picturesque old Gene
terry, where even standing room is
difficult to find on Easter morning.
One of the most striking features OF
the Moravian Church is the promi-
nent place given to music in it's wor-
ship. 1t is always good. Whether at
Bethlehem or Salem, one may always

RAINY DAY CLOSET.

Rainy days often mean trouble IN
the household where there are plenty
of children, and some one has suggest
ed that the mother of such brood
would do we'll to provide herself with
a rainy-day closet.
To it will find their way special
playthings, reserved for state occa-
sions; pictures, scrap books, paste
pots, scissors, old magazines, and
paint boxes. Anything, in fact, that
can provide indoor amusement. When
the rainy day comes round the closet
may be opened and distribution OF
it's blessings made.
Children delight in novelty, and the
very fact that. there is special treat
reserved for the days when the sun
doesn't shine win go a long way to-
ward alternating any disappointment
over the putting off of out-of-door
games and pleasures.

POULTRY NOTES.

Quality is not always indicated by
size in the poultry business.
1t takes hard work to get the best
results in the poultry business.
The hen and the COW are the farm
er's two most valuable kinds of stock.
The only way to be sure your poul-
try have no lice is to examine them.
The hen house breakfast menu will
soon need a few hot things mixed
in.
Refrigerators do not make good hen
houses-neither do houses full of

Wood shavings make excellent nests
and are not so likely to become In
tested with lice.
Perches should be built low and
arranged so they can be easily taken
out and cleaned.
Uniformity in the size of eggs can
best be obtained by keeping one stan
dard breed of hens.
A small amount of sulphur fed to
the poultry during the winter will
keep the blood in condition.
Money spent for poultry feed will
be returned twofold in the profit de-
rived from the sale of eggs.

is as essential as grain.

10 ENCOURAGE SLEEP.

Many people suffer constantly from
a sense of over-fatigue which entirely
prevents sleep at night. A hot batn
taken before retiring is a capital anti
dote in some cases, but in others the
bath acts as stimulant rather than
"a narcotic, and prevents rather than
engenders sleep. One of the best
means of obtaining rest is a cup OF
warm milk to which has been added
a pinch of salt and dash of pepper,
while many people ignore the fact
that sIeeplessness IS caused by smut
windows and lack of fresh air.

COW FEEDING.

In answer to some enquiries from
a section where corn is not much
grown but where barley produces well,
Hoard's Dairyman advises as follows:
Barley takes the place of corn for
feeding dairy cows, and we therefore
suggest that a mixture of bran and
barley equal parts by weight be made,
and for each 2.5 to 80 pounds of
milk produced, feed one pound of the
combination, together with all the al
falfa hay the cows will consume.
1t is possible to feed too much oil
meal, but there is no danger in feed
ing two pounds per day.
A calf four weeks or more of age,
should have at least IL to Is pounds
of skimmilk per day, and unless ex-
ceptionally good inducements are Of
fered for the skimmilk, we would not
scrimp the calf
Give the new born calf about 8
pounds of milk at feed; gradually
increasing the allowance as the calf
demands it. At the end of ten days
or two weeks, add some skimmilk and
decrease the whole milk; continue I'M
til the calf is on skimmilk entirely
increasing the allowance as the calf
grows larger. Select some fine Alfalfa
hay and put before it as very early
age and also little ground barley.
Calves will learn to eat when rather
young if given an opportunity. Give
the calf liberal allowance of alfalfa
not too much, or it will physic it.
Barley is a good food for calves and
should be fed right after milking.
Oil meal may be fed dry or put
in the milk. We think, however, it
is better to feed it dry with the
barley meal. A small handful of oil
meal is about the usual allowance for
calves.
There is practically no difference be-
tween shorts and middlings. Middlings
should not contain any of the outside
layer of the wheat kernel; shorts con-
tain both bran and middlings ground
together.

EscHEw FANCY THINGS.

If YOU have not much money to
spend, first put down the necessities.
These are floor coverings, window
curtains, furnishings for dining-room,
kitchen, parlor and bedroom. Iney
include also kitchen utensils, CHINA
and glassware, bed and table linens.
Get all these of the best, most dur
abe, most beautiful you can afford,
but do not mistake gorgeousness
for artistic beauty
AS a rule, the palmer, quieter and
simpler your furniture is, the better
it will look in a simple home.
Select articles with strong. plain
lines, and religiolsly avoid fancy
pieces that you will have to wear your
life out busting.
Beware of vivid silk and plush, that
will cry aloud your bad taste to every
one who comes into your home.
1t is much better to get the bare
necessities first, and accumulate the
extras by degrees, as you can AFFORD
to get really good things.
A rug, a picture, or an extra chair,
now and then, few books, pretty lin
en- pieces, cushions, ETC., can all come
gradually.
The home may look little bare for
a while, but in the end it will contain
only what you will really enjoy having
in it.

DRESSED POULTRY FOR CHOICE
TRADE.


A select private trade often demands
that poultry be very carefully pre-
pared, in which case the giblets should
be removed and cleansed. Cut the
gall-sack from the liver, the blood
vessels from the heart, and remove
the contents of the gizzard. Cut off
the shanks after first removing the
strong sinews which run up through
the leg and injure the quality of the
"drum-stick." To take out these
sinews run a knife blade down the
back of the bone of the shank, be-
tween it and the sinews. Remove the
skin above the sinews, and pull the
latter out singly by means of strong
fork or skewer. "A still easier way
is to have strong hook fastened to
the wall at the proper height. Place
the point of the hook under each
sfnew, which can then be easily
drawn out The bird is now ready for
tying up. Replace the giblets in the
body cavity, draw the end of the
drumsticks down to the "pope's nose,
and tie there firmly. Finally fold
the wings behind the back. Birds so
tied are unusually attractive, always
appearing plump and chunky, due to
the absence of sprawling legs and
wings.
Broilers may be attractively pre-
pared for private trade as follows:
Pluck carefully and remove the legs
and sinews as above. With heavy,
sharp knife make a cut each side
and the entire length of the backbone,
severing the ribs. Let these missions
meet in front of the neck and below
the vent. This permits the removal
of the head, neck, backbone and entire
intestinal tract, and the bird opens
out fiat in most convenient form to
be placed upon the broiler. The glib
let's should be cleaned and should &C
company the carcass.-American Cul-
tivator

WHEAT FOR HORSES.

The Washington State agricultural
experiment station at Pullman has un-
der consideration a series of expert
ments of feeding wheat to work
horses. Feeding experiments during
the last ten years with cattle and
swine show that wheat yields better
results than any other cereal. In the
Northwest oats and barley have been
the traditional feed for horses. Wheat
has been used in mixtures, but there
has always been fear of laundering
from it, the idea being it is too "heat-
ing" In the case of hogs and cattle
such uniform results have been at
tanned that it would seem likely that
horses should be peculiar in this re-
spect. 1t is probable that the vast
number of work horses on the farm,
in the towns and cities, and on the
many construction lines for railways
and irrigation enterprises in the North
west, can use wheat as the foundation
and the largest part of the ration. To
get exact data on this point and thus
promote the interests of consumer and
producer, is the object of the pro-
jected experiment at Pullman.

MULcHING STRAWBERRIES.

mO1SA4L4N0 - IVA w DI4AeANAAAN1'
One of our southern exchanges
printed an article on this subject taken
from some northern paper, without
comment. The article was good when
applied to northern strawberry beds,
but entirely unsuited to those of this
State. For example it says: ''Its
principal object during winter is to
prevent sudden thawing during bright
days. Alternate freezing and thaw-
ing causes contraction and expansion
of the soil which results in straining
and breaking the roots" There are
many other sentences which are just
as inappropriate to this climate.
We believe in mulching strawberry
beds in Florida, not to keep them
from freezing but to keep down weeds,
keep the surface moist and keep the
fruit clean. Any one of these rea.
sons is sufficient, but the three con.
stitute an unanswerable argument in
favor of mulching. In many places
the most easily obtainable material
is pine straw. and it is good, in 9th
ers the wire grass furnishes the best
material. But it is certain that it is
very profitable to mulch the plants
