strip, about 10 feet wide, across the ex-
treme west end of the field. He will
observe that on this strip there are very
few alfalfa plants, but there is a bum.
per crop of sorrel on that strip This
strip was sown as thickly with alfalfa
seed as was the rect of the field. This
strip shows what would have happened
to the whole field had it not been lined
the attempt to grow alfalfa on it
would have been failure. 1t is a
demonstration of the wisdom and neces-
sity of lining an acid soil if one hopes
to grow alfalfa on it.
Mr.. Burton, as explained, used slack
ed lime He is satisfied. however, that
what is termed agricultural lime" or
the ground lime rock, would do better,
for it would keep the soil sweet much
longer, as it will not so readily dissolve
as the Stacked lime.
Prof. Shoesmith, the Agricultural
College expert, recommends two tons to
the acre of this agricultural lime on
any acid soil, it not only neutralizes
the acid in the soil, but it also seems to
stimulate the growth of the alfalfa
plants. Prof. Shoesmith recommends
sowing in June in preference to Aug
ust, and in May in preference to June.
The idea is to have the plants attain as
good growth as possible before the
frosts come on, so that the roots will
resist the tendency to break with the
possible heaving of the ground during
cold weather.
Any one can test ground for acid.
Get some blue litmus paper at the drug
store. The druggist will tell you how
to keepit. Moisten the soil to be be
tested thoroughly, till it is well satu-
rated but not too soft. Press against
this well moistened soil narrow strip
of the blue litmus paper. II contact
with the soil turns the litmus paper a
reddish color, it shows the soil to be
acid; the quicker 1t does this the more
acid the soil
Mr.. Buttons sowed 10 lbs of seed to
the acre. His experience with lining
the soil in preparation for an alfalfa
crop shows it's wisdom and necessity.

COMFORTABLE TOGS
FOR TRAVELLING

When the wanderlust takes possession
of the globe trotter she begins to look
about her and take inventory of her
wardrobe and travelling kit.
If she is inexperienced she gathers to-
gether a great many useless and space
filling things which clutter up her luggage
and cause her great deal of annoyance.
If she is possessed of comfortable
amount of foresight she consults some
friend who has learned by experience the
secret of the Well ordered kit.
For example. her last years tailored
suit will come in handy for rough wear.
when travel stains are in order. Her new
smart tailormade she packs away care
fully for more important occasions. \
pretty silk or crepe frock Will answer for
dinner wear at hotels. When this be-
comes tiresome there is skirt of char
meuse with a swagger little open coat to
match with two OF three lace or chiffon
blousef.
Two pairs of outdoor shoes are in the
boot tray, one heavy pair of walking
boots and another lighter pair. Two
pairs of house shoes are also carried, one
very thin, easy pair being tucked into her
travelling bag and slipped on during long
train Journeys to rest the feet.
OF hats, one large black one with soft
feathers for incidental wear: a small,
iaunty one to match the travelling suit: a
crushable one, for rainy days or when
roughing it, and a large, fioppy hat for
shade sunny days, are quite enough
for every occasion.
Smoked glasses the traveller will find a
veritable boon, and she must not forget
her field glasses.

New Kind of Dress Box.

There are shirt waist boxes galore, in
Vulnerable dress chests and many i'm
provised receptacles for use in the wom-
ans room. but the latest novelty is the
result of an ingenious brain which con-
ceived the possibilities OF having dress
box, fun length, to match the hardwood
floor in her room.
A cheap frame was constructed OF
pine, lined throughout with white oil
cloth, the edge glued on the outside. This
was covered with linoleum, a clever imi-
tation of oak in two shades. 1t was
glued to the outside and the raw edges
were covered with tan leather strips
held in place with brass studs. The
hinges and lock were of brass Two
stout straps were tackled to the inside of
the lid, making a good receptacle for
holding two parasos. Ball-bearing cas-
ters completed the dress box and the
owner paid much less for this treasure
than a fancy one would cost at any
store.

THE DAILY cHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

To plan your life instead OF letting
everything just happen. to row your ex-
istence with your eye firmly fixed on
some definite goal, instead of Just drifting
| it. is wise.
| But to keep your plans to yourself until
YOU are ve1y nearly ready TO. execute
| them; not to do too much talking about
that definite goal is, to say the least
| expedient.
A young girl In our neighbohood bought
| an automobile recently.
Most of her friends were vastly sur
, prised.
Why? Because Elaine had never men
toned her intention of owning q ma
chine?
| Quite to the contrary.
| Because she had mentioned it so often
and talked about it for so long time
that we had quite gotten over expecting
her to really do 1t.
There are people who can't conceive q
! plan without being fired with an uncon.
| troilable desire to communicate it to the
public.
The houses they are going to build, the
| trips they are going to take. the courses
of study they are going to pursue, the
| wonderful things they are going to buy,
form the chief topics of their converse
| ton.
And at first We listen to them with con-
! fidence and interest
And then-well everybody knows the
classic little boy who cried "wof. wolf
when there was no wolf. and what hap
pened when the wolf really came.
Some day when, by some strange
chance, our friend Of the much press
| ACCENTED plans does build the house
or go abroad or buy the horse or take
course in botany, we can scarcely believe
that the thing has actually been done.
l love books and people without too
much prelude.
Don't you?
The kind of books that start YOU right
in with something happening or being
! saba swift bit of action or an illuminat-
ing conversation; the kind of people who
surprise you by referring casually to
something they have done instead of
grandiloquently discoursing on what they
| are going to do.
A would-be author told me that the
chief criticism a real craftsman made
upon his work was that there was always
| too much introduction
How many of US are making the same
| mistake In writing our lines?
Let your acts speak their own prologue
| and write their own introductions, and
you will find yourself with q much more
attentive audience than words will ever
bring you.

Raisin a Modish Hue.

Raisin-a dull purple hue-is one of the
most favored shades for autumn and was
particularly effective in two-piece suit
recently exhibited. The slashed skirt was
ornamented solely by two rows of me-
dunn sized white pearl buttons similar
decoration appearing on the back and
cuffs of the smartly cut coat, which was
a trife longer than the models of the
past season.
Another new costume was OF black
charmeuse trimmed with long black silk
fringe arranged on the skirt so as to
suggest a double fiounce. The revers on
the waist was edged with the fringe and
the only relief from the plain black was
the stock of cream lace of fine mesh.
Wide borders of ratine on checked
wooden materials designed for smart au-
tumn su is lend an effective note Of con-
trast. the border being black.
Fur trimming on hats promises to en-
