What Happened to Girl Seeking
Shelter in New York.

What happened to seventeen-year-
old Lucy Green last winter when she
arrived in New York seeking work,
without friends or money is the real
story of real girl, told by the girl
herself in October Woman's Home
Companion.
The first day she was directed to
the Margaret Louisa Home, conducted
by the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION. After many waits and de
lays she was passed on to the chap
lain of the institution. This is what
took place with the chaplain:
las gently as possible she broke
the news that the Margaret Louisa
Home was not the boarding place for
which | was seeking. The rates were
too high for any one save a girl who
was already we'll fixed in business. A
single room would cost me sixty cents
a day, breakfast and luncheon twenty
five cents each and dinner thirty-five
cents. | was probably looking for a
working girls home. | apologized for
my mistake, saying that | had read
much of the Margaret Louisa Home
and supposed II was home for work
ing girls. And then as gently as be
fore she explained that 1t was tran
silent hotel for self.supporting women,
not for-er-working girls. saw
the distinction.
She then gave me the addresses of
real homes for working girls-Mrs.
Huntmgton's at 40 East 18th St, and
The Co.Onarato' AII West ord 81
" Can you suggest where l had best
look for work? / enQuired hastily
" Work? Well, this is a very bad
time of the year to get into the stores
They are letting girls out. Governess
es, too, have all been engaged
by this time she was standing up
She hoped would enroll with the as
ISOLATION. 1t cost only one dollar a
year, and | would enjoy the library
The Tuesday night lecture for mem
bers was especially interesting. She
said good-by, without Offering to
shake hands and my relations with
the Young Womens Christian Asso-
citation were closed
Apparently the New York branch
of the Y. w. q. A. is for women who
have proven their ability to be self
supporting. 1t offers nothing to the
girls starting on the road to self sup
port. The Margaret Louisa Home is
not home 1t is an admirably con
Quoted, reasonably priced transient
hotel for women who do not care to
patronize hotels where men are ad-
mitted.'

Alfalfa In the South.
So far Is alfalfa and the
Southern States are concerned,
they were made for one another.
The only difference between good
soil in Mississippi and Southern
California is that the former has
q better distribution of the rain
fall. For this reason we have the
most favorable reports from Mis-
s:ssippi on alfalfa growing than
from any other of the Southern
States. l have seen excellent
crops of it in Georgia. where the
ground was suitable.
The governing principle in
. successful start with
alfalfa lies in the preparation of
The soil. The seed bed must be
prepared with great care just as
you would in the garden. Plow,
harrow and board the ground
four or more times until the bed
ooks and feels like IN ash pile.
Then use the best seed you can
BUY and use plenty of it. There

/ The total value of the principal
field crops Of the United States
for the year 1906 was about
$500. 100000. IL we estimate
that the combined consumption
OF weed seed BY the sparrow
family results in 40 annual saving
of only l per cent. of the value of
the crops the sum total saved to
the farmer in 1896 was t35. 600, 900.
Though seeds form the chief
part of the subsistence of SPAR
rows, the destruction of seeds is
by no means all we have to thank
these birds for. They eat many
insects also, and seem to know
instinctively that while seeds are
excellent for adult birds. they are
not necessarily good for nestlings,
and hence feed the latter almost
exclusively On insects.
Sparrows, however, are not the |
