Better Seeding Urged To Pre-
vent Small Yield.

Modern seeders for grain, instead of
the old method, to insure good crops
this year, are being urged by the
department of agricultural engineering
of the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin.
The season is late and if the seed bed
is not made carefully and seed put in
under the most a1spicious conditions,
there is danger of a smaller yield than
than usual, Experience shows an
increase of 10 to Is per cent where seed
is put in with drill as compared to
that put in broadcast. The disk seeder
has given the best results on most
Wisconsin soils but in some cases other
types of drills are are as good as or
better than the disk.

The New Idea Of Marriage.

That marriage has the effect OF hu
manizing the young man. of making
him less fatuous and selfish. has long
been known to women folk, but now.
according to a recent statement made
by a prominent man, by entering into
wedlock n man becomes "a better so
cial animal losing his shyness before
women, his cynicism and his want of
expansiveness."
All this is helped because we have in
troduced friendship into marriage-one
OF the considerable achievements OF
modern times-and. instead of "domes-
ticating the recording angel" which
was what marriage formerly meant,
we have succeeded in developing an
amazing camaraderie between hus-
bands and wives.
This comradeship reveals itself In a
hundred details-by the way In which
married persons tease each other in
stead OF using acid endearments such
as my love" their increased tolera-
tioa for each others tastes and their
sharing in each others sports and
amusements, their general reasonable
ness and their mutual loyalty.

Glass Buttons In Styie,

When an old fashion becomes new
fashion a woman is furious with her
self for not having kept what she pos
sessed. 1t is excessively difficult to
carry out a boarding method, for every
inch Of room is needed in our houses,
and, with the fashions trying to rival
weather vane in a storm, we look
upon each years accumulation of
things as mere junk
Surely we can never need these
again. is the usual decision that pre-
cedes the dumping Of everything into
the ash can. And suddenly out of
clear sky comes an announcement that
the very things which We're consigned
to the ash can were to be returned into
first fashion.
If one wants a white corduroy suit
for spring than these fiat glass buttons,
lined with purple. would look very we'll

widely taken up and yet was so at
tractive. This sleeve, instead of being
ornamented with buttons, had its two
edges really fastened together with ac-
tual buttons made into the form of cuff
links with silk cord between.
The new sleeve in taffeta and satin

between the two edges Is put an inch

On black satin frock that has been

tending around the wrist. The surplice
shaped blouse has plated frill lying
against the chemisette. which Is of

the way, is similar to the fastening on
the sleeves.

u,,v y, Protected tho Seals,

Some years ago a Russian warship
was on special duty In Boring sea
guarding the seal fisheries. preventing
the slaughter of the seals during the
closed season. The admiral of the sta
ton in the course OF an inspection of
the vessel invited any OF the sailors
who had any complaint to make to
step forward One Of the men. as
spokesman for the whole crew. COM
planned that the seal monsy prom
ised them had not been paid. On the
astonished admiral inquiring what he
meant 1t came out that the ships COM
mander had been doing lucrative
trade by killing the seals placed under
his protection and sending the skins to
London and had taken the crew into
partnership. He was duly transferred
to Siberia.
