cial fertilizer, such as the carriers of
potash, phosphorus and nitrogen.
This requires a knowledge of the
economic handling of stable manures,
the growing of green manures and the
nature and application of commercial
fertilizers.
3. The use, value and quantity of
water required by specific crop such
as thousand headed kale, oats, etc.,
which involve the knowledge of how
and when to cultivate the field.
4. The food requirements of the
forage plants to be grown.
A wide range of soils and soil con-
ditions makes it possible to grow to
good advantage by far the greater num-
Der of the best forage plants known
root crops, such as carrots, mangel
wurzels, rutabagas and turnips;
thousand headed kale and marrow
cabbage of the cabbage tribe; legumes,
including alfalfa, several varieties OF
clover, field peas, Tangier pea, COM
mon and hairy vetch; grains, includ-
ing corn, oats, wheat, rye, barley; a
long list of grasses; potatoes and
artichokes. This list of forage plants,
all of which have been successfully
grown on the Western Washington
Experiment Station, with the excep
ton of alfalfa, which has been largely
destroyed by fungus, gives you some
idea Of the very large group OF forage
plants adapted to our conditions.
The presence of many types of soils
in every locality and the variable
nature of the different varities makes
it possible to select forms for rota
ton to secure succuIent forage for the
year.
Before taking up the discussion of
the various forage plants to which |
desire to call your attention, | wish
to say that all notes and data, unless
otherwise stated, are only applicable
to the crops which have been grown
on the Western Washington Expei-
ment station at Puyallup. Since
many varieties of the same crop have
been grown under the same conditions,
we desire to have it understood that
the yields are comparative and we're
the best obtained. The consideration
of each group will be brief.
Perhaps have made this introduce
ton rather lengthy, but the success
full production of many crops requires
the information as outlined above,
some additional evidence OF which will
be given below.
The forage Plants to which | wish
to cell your attention are as follows:
1. Carrots-Muck soil, requiring 30
tons of lime per acre to correct the
acidity, planted to 80 strains of car
rots, gave 16 forms, producing 46,5 to
67.9 tons per acre, Sutton's Matchless
White leading in yield.
2. Mangels-4O strains of these
roots on the same field muck soil) as
above, 10 gave so to TIA tons per
acre. N. X. & Co. Mammoth Golden
Giant.
T 3. Rutabagas-22 forms of muck
soil gave 7 forms, yielding 38 to 500
tons. The heaviest yielder was Sutton

The woman who thinks it is neces.
sary to have large house to display
ones taste and ingenuity In decora'
ton should see a small New York
home which has been furnished ac-
cording to Miss Elsie De Wolfe's ideas
There are number of good points IN
the salon and the sleeping rooms for
the woman who Is going to be her own
interior decorator next spring,
The pictures in the salon are French.
In gilt frames, and the long wire t.
the molding is covered with plated
ribbon in dull old rose shade. This
Is a novel feature which will be copied
by the majority of women who Sc.
1t. Miles of wire stretching over q
tinted wall have always been an OBJ
stacle to beauty, and this ingenious
method Of solving the problem will BE-
received with gratitude. The appliques
in this room are French in design,
holding branches of lights above a
rams head.
The sleeping rooms have many nov
elites in the way of decoration. Each
furnishes half a dozen ideas to the
woman who is on the lookout for some
thing new and something better to put
In her own room. For instance, in one
room there Is chintz bed. This gay
colored cotton is let into framework
of wood, The canopy, which begins In
the middle, Is divided into four parts,
each part drawn to corner of the bed
and caught with a ring of the material
edged with crimson fringe. The lower
framework of the bed where 1t comes
against the mattress is padded with
cotton and covered with crimson silk.
as English tenders are. This is color
! note for the woman who has always
objected to the sharp line of wool
against the drapery of the bed. Th4
outer coverlet Is of crimson silk to
match this padded wood The dress,
ing room, which opens into this sleep
ing room, gives the appearance Of 4
house of glass. Its walls are mirror
ed. the dressing table is covered with
glass, and n triple mirror is also OF
glass, edged with a tiny band of ornate
gilt.
Minor details that catch the eye In
the whole house are the French HARD
ware locks put on the doors and the
Introduction of mirror wherever it Is
possible to insert piece of glass Ia
the wall. Every good decorator knows
that reflection gives size. and In this
eighteen foot house this method has
been worked so successfully one often
has the feeling of looking down a vista
when one Is inclosed by four walls.
In every room there Is an available
and convenient table which Miss ID
Wolfe calls kidney table and whicN
she has invented. This oddly SHAPED
piece of furniture is of dull wood and
is placed near the fireplace or sofa OF
