Money in Good Management.

BY having good pasture as many
months in the year as possible, one
will be able to carry his dairy cows
through the twelvemonth at small
cost, and they will supply fertilizer to
improve the plowed part OF the farm.
Supposing that one-half or one-third
of the farm was used for cultivated
crops with such management, 1t
would be possible to make that one
half or one-third yield as much net
profit as all the farm under the sys-
tenn of farming that is all too common
now, and the direct profit from the
pasture or dairy would remain as so
much extra profit. That good man
agement would materially aid in the
paramount problem of fewer acres
and more bales, bushels or tons per
acre, with more net profit got more
certainly.-Progressive Farmer.

Crimson Clover.

Can II be sown In summer In grow
Ing corn, to plow under the follow
ing spring, without injuring the corn?
J. B. A., Logansport, Ind Answer:
Yes. Sow ten pounds Of seed per
acre Immediately preceding the last
cultivation. II that Is done with an
implement with eight or ten moder-
ate sized teeth, similar to spring
tooth cultivator, 1t will be better than
If the last cultivation is given by an
implement having fewer and larger
teeth. Ordinarily, clover seeds sink
into the ground and grow without
being covered, but at the season when
1t is proposed to SOW 1t the ground
may be dry, and heavy rains may not
supply sufficient moisture; therefore
1t Is best either to harrow or cults
vate in the seed, although success
frequently comes by sowing imme-
diately after the cultivator when
heavy rains quickly follow the SOW
ing. 1t will not injure the corn t6
any appreciable extent. We are in
clined to believe that the shade the
clover furnishes is compensation for
the moisture and plant food which
the roots take from the SOIL Fre-
quently this crimson clover is killed
during late winter and spring, but
this need not discourage you from
sowing it, since the quantity of nitro
gen and other plant food which it will
gather or set free for the use Of fol-
lowing plants is very large, although
there may be no clover in May to
plow under. II it lives through
the winter nicely, so much the bet
ter. The seed may be sown from

terials and in a number OF ways.
1t is just as appropriate for the en-
tire dresses as 1t is for the separate
waist and 1t can be made from almost
any seasonable material. Crepe de
Chine, louisine and taffeta are favor
ite silks for the separate blouse, but
for entire dresses the plaid taffetas,
veilings, cashmeres and light colored
broadcloths all are being used, while
the model is adapted to each and all.
The tucks are arranged after a most
becoming manner and the little
chemisette always gives an air of ex-
quisite daintiness. 1t could be OF
lace, of tucked silk or of lingerie ma
terial as liked. Again.. the sleeves
can be either long or in three-quar-
ter length so that the model seems
to fulfill great many requirements.
The collar can be made with the new
points back of the ears or straight as
may be found more becoming.
The blouse is made with the
smoothly fitted lining and itself con-
sists of front and backs. The chemi-
sette is faced onto the lining and its
edges are concealed by the shaped
trimming band. The long sleeves
are gathered into deep cuffs, the
three-quarter ones into bands.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year size is three and
fve-eighth yards twenty-one or twen-
ty-four, three yards twenty-seven or
one and three-quarter- yards forty
four inches wide with one-half yard
of all-over lace and one-half yard Of
silk or velvet for the trimming.

Pork Raising.

To sum up the few essential ele-.

the breeding stock, as the pure-bred
sire is the farmers best friend In all

do not realize this fact and think that
a common-bred sire will do as we'll.
The pure-bred sire is prepotent and
will have uniform class Of offspring,
possessing quality, while the other
will impress or intensity upon his Off

two will not Justify the results. 3
