THE SOFA BEAN PLANT.
Used For Food in China, and Makes
Good Hay in America.

The sofa plant will grow rs to 30
inches high, with many branching
stems. The seed are of creamy color.
1t is a native of China, and is used
there for food for the people. 1t en-
riches the soil like legumes-more
tubercles than even alfalfa. Pillow the
soil as If for corn. giving disking
or narrowing both ways. Seed should
be sown in the latitude of Memphis
or Atlanta about May 20. Make rows
80 inches apart, planting half bushel
per acre. Seed can be sown by COM
mon grain drill, six seed to each foot
In row. Cultivate shallow. Break most
of land about three times in early part
of growth. For hay 1t should be cut
when in full bloom, and when the pods
are beginning to form. For saving
seed or fattening hogs it should be
cut when the pods have turned brown
but before fully ripe; II left until tor
ripe the pods will burst and seed d,

PLANTING Irish Potatoes.

Experiments in planting Irish pota-
toes are made by the thousands each
season. but after all the tests the seed
that has two or more eyes are con-
sidered the best. The second crop OF
potatoes grown in the south is better
seed potato than the first crop grown
in the north. Unsprouted potatoes are
better than those that have sprouted
in the cellar. The long white sprouts
must be rubbed on at planting time;
the growth of sprouts have weakened
the tubers for seed. Potatoes should
no. be cut more than two days be-
fore planting. Medium sized potaots
are the most suitable for seed. One
! eye to each piece is not sufficient.

Rxe,s Recommendation.

Chief commentator for rye is its
hardness, rapid growth early in the
season and adaptability to stock. 1t
will grow on poorer soils than any
other cereal 1t can be cut during
fall three times and yet make a good
yield the spring to follow. 1t fur
nishes a good fertilizer if turned under
In the spring. The most economical
way to use rye as fertilizer is to
let stock eat it and then turn the re-
mains under.

Iiroerie ,s Much EyeIeted.

The spring and summer lingerie
will be more embroidered than ever.
These dainty garments may be fash
toned at home with really little ex-
pense compared to their cost at the
shops. For the woman. who has leisure
time their making Is pleasure, and
much lace, fine tucking. and ribbon
NAV be added to make them attrac-
tive. The lingerie fits closer to the
figure this season, for It is the desire
of every woman to be slim and grace
ful In appearance.

To es Worn With the High Turnover
Collar.

Cravats and ties are now exceed
ingly chic and becoming. The most
fashionable collar of the moment Is
the high turnover. But the newest
feature is not so much the collar as
the tie. Ties in every shade and de-
sign Of plaids and stripes are seen at
all the fashionable shops. The ties
are made to fit the collars and to ac-
cord with their style to q large ex-
tent.
With an embroidered collar, high
turnover, were shown bows OF accor-
dion plated null and fine linen Tnese
were plain white or polka dotted IN
black and colors. These bows were
also made of three pieces OF lawn &C.
Gordon plated and trimmed with lace
bound together by q knot in the cen
ter.
The white embroidered collars In
linen are also worn with very large
made-up bows Of Roman striped SILK
with four-in-hands of the Roman Sill
and Scotch plaids and with quaint
small bows of narrow striped riDDor
made with four loops, no ends ant
two knots.
There are also plated satin stock
of white with the lower part OF plai'
of striped silk. ending in q fourth
hand or Windsor tie. Other piaite
white satin stocks have the lower par
of plaid silk ending in a nat pair Q
crossed ends In front. Again the plai
silk Is used for the upper part OF tn
stock, and the lower part is made u
of plain silk, with the crossed tab
or a four-in-hand in front.

The Home First.

The great trouble with the farmers
of the south is the delay in giving at
tention e what is needed for the home.
The Oil South recognized the home
as being above everything else. and
that is one reason why the hospital
ity of the south has such a name to-
day. Now everything is abandoned
for cotton. But despite the fact that
man may make all kinds OF crops,
the farmer who grows things needed
at home is the most prosperous and
gets most out OF life.

In it he says, That there is no

He regarded the words as in effect

the sentiment intended to be con-
