From the New York sun.
Pretty foxy. my way OF buying
straw hats, don't you think?" said Mr..
slodgilby. II buy only one straw hat
a year and I buy that one always at
about the middle Of July at the time of
the first mark down in price OF the
straw hat season; so | always get my
straws at about 20 per cent. off the
regular price.
"An advantage, that, to save a quar-
ter in the price? Surely; and now see
how buying at that time works out in
other ways
"By the middle of July the straw
hats of most people. who buy only one
hat a year have generally begun to
show signs of wear, certainly so IL
their wearcrs have ever been caught
IN a shower; and so then, when every
body elses hat is getting old | spring
n fresh one on 'em, a brand new hat;
like a man who, his first hat having
got dusty had Jcst casually saunterea
in to the hat emporium and bought a
new one. II gives me lot of satisfac-
tion TO run that new hat out in that
way in the middle of the season.
"And this hat remains tolerably fresh
when ! put II away IN the middle of
September, and it IS really in fair con-
ditiOn TO wear when / bring il out to
start the new season with 1t in the fol-
lowing spring.
"Other men getting out hats which
they had bought early In the previous
season and so had worn practically that
season through find their hats pretty
shabby looking, while mine really looks
pretty nice and viii go all right till
the middle Of the season, when I buy
my new hat on the first markdown.

HOW WEED SEEDS ARE CARRIED

This has been a season Just suited
10 the growth Of most kinds Of weeds.
and they have made the best OF II.
Many new weeds are seen this year in
pastures and stubbIc fields and we are
apt TO wonder where they all come
from Weed seeds are very hardy: they
are long lived, and once they are de-
posted in the ground, we are never
sure we are rid Of them until they
have sprouted and we have cut down
.hC plants Right here is thing well
worth remembering Instead of try
ing 10 plow under and smother weed
seeds, better get them TO sprout and
then go for them. For this reason all
weCdy stubble fields should be plowed
after the weeds have started to grow,
tut before they form seeds In this
way you are sure to get rid Of those
that sprout anyhow.
a ncighbor remarked to me the other
say How do all these weeds get
rere| That has puzzled n good many.
Some Of the lighter seeds are carried
by the wind. When stock is fed weedy
grain or hay there is a chance for
weed seeds to pass unbroltcn into the
manure, and later out to the fields.
Hauling hay or grain bundles, contain
ing matured weed seeds over other
fields is liable to scatter weed seeds
and threshing machines are apt to do
& whole lot of mischief.
