A FEW LAUNDRY HINTS.

First, hang up clothes by the thick
er part, waist or neck bands, etc.
because II hung by the thinner part
the water would run into the thick
part, lodge there and take longer TO
dry. Second, hang up everything
wrong side out, so that any scci
dental soil will not do so much dam
age as IL it appeared on the right
side.
Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty after
they have been put away few days
Tho way to prevent this happening
is, before you put them away, 70,
rub a little warm grease over them
and then wrap them up In brown
paper. When you take them out 70
use, dip them into hot water that mas
had a small piece Of soda dissolved
in 1t, rubbing and then putting them
10 heat In the usual way Wnea
they are ready to be used on tne
ironing board. have a piece OF brown
paper with a little powdered oaea
brick on It and rub the surface o.
your iron with this. II seems ratne'
a lengthy process, but II really aOes
not take long TO do, and Housewives
will be rewarded for the trouble tne'
have taken by finding the irons az
lightfully smooth and easy 70 uss'

Alfalfa.

Mrs. r. S. c., Corkville, Gal
have planted a patch Of about one
half acre in alfalfa, and want to know
II | must pasture 1t any the first year,
or how many times l must NOW 1t,
and at what time. If am successful
with it this year, hope to plant five or
six acres of fine river bottoms an
other year. Any information as to
the cultivation of this plant will be
highly appreciated.
Answer-You certainly should not
pasture your alfalfa the first year
IL ever. It is a plant that does not
stand pasturing the "best in the
world" and 1t will yield great deal
more IL cut and fed, or made into
hay, than IL pastured. 1t should be
cut as soon as it commences to bloom
and as often as that stage is reached
in succession. The soil for alfalfa
should be very rich and clean of weed
seeds. Lime is an important con-
stituent of the soil, and II not a strong
lime soil il should have a dressing Of
hVe 10 ten buckets or more OF air
slaked lime per acre every two or
three years. In FebSuary of each
year it is advisable to apply 600 to
500 pounds of 10-4 acid and potash
per acre and run over the surface
crosswise and diagonally two or three
times with a cutaway harrow, fol-
lowed, If convenient, by a smoothing
harrow. This tends to destroy weeds
and grass and splits the crowns of
many of the plants, increasing their
vigor. Weeds are the great pest OF
an alfalfa field, and dodder Glove
vine") is bad also. In buying seed
one should be careful to get such as
are guaranteed to contain no seeds
of dodder.-R. ]. Redding, in Atlanta

Plans to Utilize the Idle Lands.

Idle lands, like idle people, are
seldom benefited by their idleness.
At least, 1t is certain that land may
be improved faster by growing some
useful crop every year than by lying
idle part, or all of the time. More
over, we have thousands Of acres that,
because of insufficient drainage or
lack of fertility, are not yielding
profitable crops, and thousands Of
other acres yielding absolutely moth
ing. These lands represent an invest
ment and must pay taxes, therefore
by yielding nothing they consume
some of the profits of the cultivated
land.
This land should bring its owner
some revenue. That which will yield
a fair profit in the growth OF timber
should be given sufficient attention
and protection from fires to enable us
30 profit on our investment. There
are thousands OF acres Of fertile land
that have been turned out and al
lowed to grow up to brush and weeds
that with a little attention could be
made to produce good profits in the
growth of grasses for pasture or hay
These lands are along the creeks and
rivers and have not paid in cultivated
crops because OF overhows or lack Of
drainage. They would, however, pro
duce good grass and save us from buy
ing forage or from sending to th'
North for hay. Let us'plan to utilize
them. We need the forage or grazing
which they will produce.
Again there are large areas of up
lands that have been turned out be
cause OF soil depletion. These land

Poultry in the South.

Looking upon the beautiful hetds
of Dixie land to-day and carrying the
memory back to the hard times OF
the sixties, 1t IL wonderful to note
the great changes that have taken
place over this lovely land OF ours
Then 1t was when the ambitious Sner-
idan encouraged by the persistent
Grant laid waste to the filled barns
and gamers along the banks OF the
murmuring Shenandoah. watching
upon the hill tops groups OF women
and children could be seen looking
at the last supply Of food go up into
smoke. II was then We looked upon
a poor and bleeding South, existing
only from the crumbs that were left
from the once loaded tables OF the
pleasure loving Southorner's home.
How our hearts would heave and
swell as we looked at the tired apd
weary trooper slowly winding his
way toward his once happy home,
now all in ruins, wife and children
almost starving, one or more OF It's
dear inmates passed into the mystic
beyond, and every hope in vain.
A half century has passed into
eternity and a new world has opened
in this sunny land, q new energy
springing up among its people far
more and better things. Therefore
It is my desire to impress upon my
readers that they should not lose
sight OF the great possibilities OF the
poultry industry In this great coun-
try, where the climate and soil are
ideal for It's success. A business that
stands out as one of the great in
dustries of our country.
The Southerner who wishes to gain
the top round in the poultry industry
in the South to-day, must put forward
every effort and carefully consider
the promoting of the following
Breed better birds, organize and
maintain larger and better shows. II
this is carefully followed the writer
firmly believes that the South could
be made to lead the world with poul-
try.
While we find many fine birds in
the South, the greater majority OF
our poultrymen content themselves
with inferior stock This should be
discouraged as 1t does not bring the
desired results and it costs Just as
much to feed and care for such birds
as II does the best. The cost may be
a little more to start, but the results
will be greater in the end, as the
call to-day is for more and bettel
birds.
One Of the most important features
of the fancy poultry business and on
that has helped to push the work Il
its present field can be attributed Il
the poultry shows Of our land. The,
have been the means of bringing
about many sales Of fowls at wonder
fully large figures, and they will con
tinue to help advance the poultry in

lines. Every interested breede
should be connected with one or NOR
local organizations and encourage
every year by extending any supper
that it may need, The show will hel
to open up more markets for you
products and assure you OF better SUI
cess, as every large poultry sectio
. has its shows largely attended eac

The department of state at
Washington, has received a report
from the American consul-general
at Barcelona, Spain, in regard to
the band OF swindlers operating
lin various towns and cities Of
Spain, and who make a practice of
writing to persons in the United
States respecting the Imprisonment
of relative and the guardianship
of child.
The consul-general states that the
alleged prisoner generally describes
himself as a political prisoner from
| Cuba; he is at the point of death
and has but one friend-the prison
priest-through whose good offices
he is enabled to smuggle an occa-
sional letter out of the prison fort.
The prisoner is rich. He has
fortune in cash on deposit in the
United States, but the certificate of
deposit is concealed in secret re-
ceptacle of his valise. The valise
itself has been taken possession of
fby the court at Carthagena, which
tried and condemned him, and will
be held until the prisoner or his
representative has satisfied the
costs of the trial. The. prisoner
has an only daughter. Dying in his
prison, his sole thought is of this
beloved offspring. He has no
friend or relative in Spain to whose
care he can commit her. In this
emergency his thoughts turn to
| the distant relative in the United
| States whom he has never seen and
of whom he knows only through
hearsay or the family tree. Will
the distant relative assume the
guardianship of the darling daugh-
ter's fortune of about $4,000? II
the distant relative accepts the
trust one-fourth of the prisoners en-
tire fortune will be the material
reward The good priest will &C
at once to the United States anc
take the darling daughter with him
There is but one condition: The
ready money which the prisoner
brought with him to Spain has beer

therefore requested to send enough
to liberate the valise containing thu
secret receptacle and the certificate
of deposit. This money is to b.

good priest adds that the darling
daughter is under his care. He
is ready to put his promise into
execution and start for the United
States as soon as he shall have
received the necessary funds from
the distant relative. The good
priest frequently incloses with his
letter a bogus newspaper clipping
announcing the death in prison at
Barcelona of the famous Cuban pa
triot sometimes called Augustin
Lafiente); the newspaper notice
also speaks cunningly of the con-
fiscated valise and the darling
daughter.
1t is simple scheme, but pres
ented in such plausible way that
almost any unsuspecting distant
relative of European extraction
would be more or less deceived by
the glad prospect of falling heir
to the agreeable custody of a dar-
ling daughter with big fortune,
and one-fourth interest therein as
an additional recompense.
Naturally the first impulse OF
the distant relative is to ask. a
lawyer or a Judge what course to
pursue in the premises, but as he
thinks of doing this his attention
| is taken by the warning in the
prisoners letter beseeching him not
to mention the matter to any liy-
ing soul lest the secret of the va
| lise and the hidden receptacle be in
discreetly betrayed.
The valise, after all, with its
concealed certificate of deposit, is
the key to the situation and pos
session must be taken of it before
