ALFALFA HAY CROP

Time and experience have proved
that alfalfa is an uneycelled all round
stock food. 1t will make the finest
beef, mutton, pork, and is one Of the
best horse feeds known. 1t is also
excellent for poultry. Chicks and
turkeys thrive exceedingly when
turned into a patch of green alfalfa.
1t is a most wholesome food for lay
ing hens. Hogs may be both raised
and fattened on it. Nothing makes
better pork than alfalfa, topped with
pumpkins or Egyptian corn. Alfalfa
is being "processed," so to speak,
and made into commercial products,
in which shape it is found to be an
excellent provender.
But one OF the best features about
alfalfa as farm crop is the benefit
it imparts to the soil upon which it Is
grown. Alfalfa, by reason Of its
great roofing qualities, is one OF
those crops which do not run out
quickly. 1t not only roots very Deep
ly, but it roots profusely, throwing
out into the soil, as it descends, a
myriad of shoots and tendrils that
draw nourishment from regions that
are not touched by other crops that
root less vigorously. Thus its sources
of growth and sustenance are greatly
enlarged and permit the plant to pro-
duce abundantly, season after season,
on the same soil without being re-
newed or the soil being fertilized
from outside sources.
So, the land that has been cropped
to alfalfa until 1t Is thought best that
the crop be changed, the soil, instead
Of being impoverished, has been am
azingly enriched. 1t is always a good
plan, when about to be changed to
another crop, to permit the alfalfa to
attain its full growth and then plow
II under. Then, with the rotting of
the plants that have been plowed un-
meate the ground, the soil is in splen-
did shape for any other crop that may
be put in. In fact, the alfalfa raisers
of this valley have found that 1t will
not do to SOW wheat on alfalfa land
the first year or two after it is bro
ken up, as the soil is so rich in hui
mus that the grain grows exceeding
ly rank, falls down and rusts before
1t is ripe. They, therefore, make
practice of putting in other crops
that can stand the replenished
strength of the soil, such as root
crops, beans, peas, cantaloupes, sweet
potatoes, berries and other fruits

The coming season is heralded as
season of color.
Some of the new parasols have long
Directoire handles.
Jet chains are popular with lockets
of the same material.
Many corduroy walking suits are
seen in the new shades.
There are waists OF colored linen
to match the cloth skirt.
Many of the attractive trimmings
show touch Of gold or silver.
The black satin slipper is becoming
very popular for evening wear.
Some of the new lingerie has slight
touches of colored embroidery.
Fringe of every description is to
be worn great deal upon the new
hats.
Blouses for day wear are being
made in fine, soft material. woven
with silk stripes.
For dressy frocks chiffon cloth is
very nice. 1t washes and wears much
better than chiffon.
The sleeves of new blouses are gen.
orally gathered lego mutton, made
to fit close to the arm.
Coarse cotton nets that showed
signs of popularity last season are
largely in evidence again.
Hair ornaments which are strongly
suggestive of conch shells are among
the novelties. They are worn over
either ear.
In the dainty tints there comes
flannel weave of silk and wool blend
that makes up the loveliest waists
and negllgees.
For evening dresses there is a
sparkling fringe. 1t is carried out in
crystals and silver, in rhinestones and
mother-of-pearl.
1t is decreed that lines must be
straight up and down, and that neith-
er skirt nor jacket shall show the
slightest coquetry.
Colored sash ribbons and gauze
and tinsel ribbons are to be reckoned
with as an important and not mex
pensive item of the wardrobe.
The revival of ribbon trimming has
brought out many new and attractive
ways of using the garnitures, but
none more popular than the sashes
and girdles.
