Why the Sky Looks Blue.

above the earth's surface we
should see that he moon is a

furthermore, as most pictur-

we should notice that some of
the stars are red, others blue,
yet others violet and still others
green in color. OF course, all of
the stars (if we bar the planet s

The hottest stars are blue.
Thus Vega, in the constellation
Lyra, is a blue sun, hundreds of
times as large as our own solar
orb. We are journeying in It's

of miles a day and at some future
time it may gobble Us all up.

Shade.Grown Tobacco.

AS to the shade-grown tobacco in
the Connecticut Valley Secretary vii.
son says:
In the Connecticut Valley the work
of producing, under shade, wrapper
leaf having all the qualities demanded
by the trade has been continued in
connection with the breeding expert
ments of the bureau of plant industry.
Eleven selections were taken in
iour-acre tent, seven from Sumatra
seed and four from Cuban seed of
the third generation in Connecticut.
The yield of Sumatra ranged from
1,445 to 1,6l2 pounds per acre, and
of Cuban from 1,134 to 1884 pounds
of Sumatra and one of Cuban seed
that appear to meet the demands of
the trade. Besides the area in the ex-
perimental tent of the department,
there were grown by private planters
during the year about 120 acres under
cloth shade, both Cuban seed and
Connecticut broadleaf being planted.
This is a slight increase over the
acreage planted the preceding year
and indicates that the trade is be-
coming interested in the shade pro-
ducts. One firm growing broadleaf
sold the tobacco for s1,0G1 an acre,
giving profit of about $500 AN acre,
The Cuban tobacco was sold for
1920 an acre.
There can be no question that to-
bacco of this quality can be produced
On commercial scale by careful
growers if the methods used and
recommended by the bureau of soils
are followed. Notwithstanding the
uniformly favorable reports received
from the trade on the merits of this
tobacco, the bureau, however, would
caution the prospective grower
against embarking in the industry on
too large scale at the outset.

Empire Skirt.

The new Empire skirt illustrated
is one of the prettiest and most grace
ful OF the season. Il hangs In long,
sweeping lines, 1t retains the normal
waist line at the front while II short
ems II bit In the back after the man
ner OF the period, and Is peculiarly
well adapted to all the soft materials
OF fashion, even cloth being made 30
pllable this year that II can be made
full with perfect success. This one
is shown In white marquisette with
embroidery executed on the material
as trimming, but while such trim
ming Is exceedingly beautiful there
are innumerable appllques which are
most effective and an Infinite variety
OF ways In which the skirt can be
finished. Indeed the simple stitched
hem often Is sufficient, while the list
of landings and trimmings to be pur-
chased by the yard Is very nearly lin
itless. There Is smoothly fitted
girde, over which the fulness Is ar
ranged, and which serves TO make the
wearer comfortable as well as to keep
the skirt perfectly In place. and
which is concealed by the outer one
of soft silk.
The skirt is cut In seven cores and
the foundation girdle In eight sec
tons, while the draped glrdle Is In
one piece. When the Empire line Is
not found becoming, however, the
skirt can be cut off at the waist line
and finished with straight belt,
while also 1t Is perforated for walk
ing length, so that It becomes very
made available for a great many oc-
casions as well as great many ma
terials.

Glover as a Special Crop.

With an average OF less than fifteen
bushels of wheat per acre for the
whole United States. Il Is evident that
the land does not yield as much wheat
as II should and with poor catches Of
clover and the crop easily killed by
drouth, It is plain that the method
now practiced OF growing clover may
be improved. Farmers who are
'land poor" have no excuse for having
two crops on the same location and the
clover crop Is one so valuable that It
deserves something better in It's treat
ment than being compelled to- grow and
thrive on land that has not been pro-
fltable, but there is at all times oppor-
tunitles for Improvement.
1t Is expensive to SOW clover on
snow during very cold weather, as
many of the seed are destroyed and
birds consume large portion. If the
land is net level the melting snow
causes uneven distribution of the seeds
and a large portion also remains on
the surface uncovered and fails to ger
inmate. These are some of the caus-
es of poor catches, which frequently
induce farmers to plow up the crop or
turn stock ON 1t, waiting another year
only to repeat the same method.
1t Is claimed that young clover
cannot endure the direct rays of the
sun and is benefited by the shading
received by wheat. The fact is that
II clover land Is plowed, narrowed
fine and the seed sowed late being
brushed In, so as to be well covered,
it will require no shading, as 1t will
terminate quickly, 7ending its roots
down into the soil and secure moisture
enough to protect u from drouth In
the meantime the wheat crop not ,hav-
ing to give some OF its moisture to
clover would thrive better and yield
more at harvest time.
Some farmers who have tried the
plan of making separate and special
preparations for clover, report better
yields of wheat and clover, the differ
ence In the yields of wheat and hay
over the normal productions more
than paying for the land and extra la
Dor, the supposed necessity of shading
clover with grain crop not being
demonstrated, as 1t is capable of taking
care of itself where treated as a spe-
cial crop with the soil carefully pre-
pared before seeding.-Agricultural

Poultry Notes.

The short route to success in secur-
ing heavy production of eggs lies not
in the breed but rather in the wedding
out of the drones Of the flock and then
breeding from the heavy layers.
Five, ten or twenty dollars, as the
case may require, added to the price
Of breeding bird in the spring may
make difference of several hundred
dollars in the value of chicks raised
from the mating of which he is the
head.
Suppose setting of eggs purchased
for S5 produces one first-class breed
ing bird, and the rest are culls; that
one bird is worth the price paid for
the eggs, and the culls, If sold for
table purposes, will more than pay the
cost of raising the brood.
One writer who has exceptionally
good success in securing fertile eggs
says he never gives soft or warm
foods. He feeds q grain ration with
an abundance Of cut clover, as hens
ought to have a ration that will re-
produce summer conditions as largely
as possible.
With poultry the ordinary farmer
can convert great amount of waste
material about his farm into money
in the shape Of eggs and chickens.
With intelligent management, poultry
ought to be all the year revenue pro-
d,,onrc with tba axoaDtfor of ,,o,.
haps, two months during the moulting
period.
One hundred chicks raised from a
pen of flrst-class birds are far more
valuable for industry than twice that
number raised from two pens of less
valuable stock. 1t should be remem-
bered that the male is really half the
breeding pen and he should be of su-
1erior quality if the best results are
expected.
The chicken louse, like the. common
house fly, breathes through the pores
of its skin, so that any fine dust or
powder which will penetrate these
pores will cover the lice, and causes
their speedy death. The ashes from
hard coal will accomplish this pur-
nose and are much more beneficial
than road dust.
Sunfcwers are good to plant where
young broods of chicks are to run. They
can be planted early and the chicks
will not bother them. After while
they will give just the pleasant shade
not dense, SO desirable for young
chicks. Later on the crops will ma
ture and be good as help to balance
winter rations.-Indianapolis News.

To Protect Berry Bushes.

The peculiar weather Of June and
July caused most Of the blackberry
and raspberry plants in many parts Of
the country to grow a great deal of
Immature wood which will not ripen
before cold weather. From the boun-
tiful rains which came in August the
soil contains a good supply of mois-

done while the ground is moist, not
wet and in good working order All
the old vines should be removed and
ditch about inches deep and 8 inches
wide along one side of the row. This
ditch should be close enough to the
row to remove the soil from one side
of the plants down to the roots. The
vines can then easily be bent to the
ground by placing nay fork in the
top and pushing them over into the
ditch. Stick the fork into the ground
to hold the vines firm until a little
soil can be thrown on them. The
vines should not be covered more than

be thrown into the ditch to keep the
roots moist. If very hard winter

Difficult or Ugly Horse to Bride.

submit to being handled without any
effort to throw his head back. A few
trials will be sufficient to break him
of this annoying habit. | have tried
