gloomy hills tagging
on to the Blue Ridge In its journey
south.
This range extends from the Blue
Ridge until 1t knocks at the back door
of the University of Virginia at Char.
lottesville. 1t Is known locally as the
Ragged mountains. 1t has two claims
for Immortality. First. these SOM
bre mountains with their unknown
valleys had a tremendous influence
upon Edgar Allen Poe when he was q
young student at the University Of
Virginia. He spent more time roam
ing through this strange country than
he did In his classrooms. Every pic
ture of mountain or hill, dale or val.
ley. to be found In his poetry might
have had Its original in these noun
tains. The second bid for fame Is the
fact that here In these mysterious
hills live the lost Hessians.
And who are the lost Hessians3
Any good history Of the Revolution
will record the fact that . prison
camp was established near Char
lottesville during this period. Brit
tsh soldiers captured In battle wero
forwarded into Virginia and kept
there until exchanged or released at
the end Of the war. Many of the He's
SLAMS. hired by Great Britain to do her
lighting. were taken as prisoners Of
war and sent to the prison camp at
Charlottesville.
At the close OF the Revolution the
Hessians were released in a body.
They knew little or no English. The
h-~
the surrounding wilderness was an
unknown land. Instead Of making
their way to the sea and then back
to Germany. they determined to
march back into the Ragged noun
tains and establish a new home in
those hills.
Here they and their descendants
have lived ever since. They put up
their rude cabins made OF logs and
mud. and they have had no other kind
Of dwelling from that time to this.
The Ragged mountains themselves
have remained true to them. They
are just us much a wilderness as they
were when the Hessians settled
valleys. The soil Is scratched by

farming is necessary. A few gnarled
apple trees linger on from year to
year. and the forest Is showed back
Just far enough to allow these curl
Gus mountaineers to grow a bag or
two Of corn and little sorghum.
The Hessians have kept free from
all inroads OF civilization. When
railroad was spiked through their
wilderness they drew back a little
further into the almost impenetrable
valleys. They still look down on the
glaring headlight OF the locomotive
with all the wonder and amazement
OF children.
II you stumble into these hills on
horseback you will be apt to mis-
take the Hessians for the noun
taineers Of the Blue Ridge. Their
cabins and their wild farms remind
one Of the John Fox country. But
there all semblance ends.
As we have recently learned. the
Blue Ridge mountaineers are fear
less, lawless folk of the purest Anglo
Saxon blood They have native In.

How to Use Feed Roller.

Never use roller Immediately
after heavy rain. But 1t should be
used as soon as the surface becomes
dry enough to pulverize easily with.
out packing tightly. The roller should
be used in dry seasons following the
harrow to keep the moisture in the
soil OF course It is not possible to
use the roller to any extent after
plants are well up but 1t can always
be used to great advantage In the
preparation OF the seed bed. Very
often one rolling will not mash all the
ciods and II the ground Is particular
iy rough It should be narrowed and
rolled and narrowed again until the
soil ia thoroughly pulverized.

NEED FOR MANY HATS

Thsm May Be Made at Home
and Are Not Costly.

How often ID the tout ensemble OF
woman's dress spoiled entirely. not by
any cheapness of the component parts
or any lack OF the correct lines. ma
terials and trimmings. but by the
wrong combination of hat and gownI
Candidiy, now, do you not see many
women on the street. in the theater
and at other occasions that NIL our
calendar In the summer months, who
have startling Ignorance of the eter-
nal fitness Of things? There's the
woman who buys one expensive hat
and then throws up her hands In de-
spair-and goes out clad inappropri-
ately.
The sailor hat In its stiff. conven-
tional tailored style should be worn
with tailored suit. 1t gives a de-
lightful completeness and is becom-
ing. In this season of the sailor do
not become unduly enthusiastic and
thereby overdo the matter.
With the lingerie dress there IL an
other appropriate type Of hat. 1t il
the lingerie hat. This you can fire.
quently make by using up the odd
pieces Of your dress. or buying en-
broidery and making a simple frilled
hat over . wire or buckram frame.
The lingerie hat OF filmy fabrics such
AZ lace. mousseline, chiffon with con-
trasting undertaking, is on the crest
of the millinery. wave. Any one can
make this kind of hat.
For the linen dress there is linen
hat. one OF the many fabric hats IA
vored by fashion for summer. This.
too, can be made of linen left over
from the dress with which 1t Is worn.
A buckram frame can be covered with
plain linen. The crown is then GOV.
cred with circular piece, pleated in
at the bottom. At. one side place a
wing Of embroidery made over wire
and carrying out successfully the idea
of trimming on the dress. II you wish
to buy this type OF hat, take plenty
of money with you. for 1t is expensive.
II you are clever, you will make one
to match your gown.
Last OF all, we must consider the
correct hat with the evening gown. II
is the large straw shape trimmed with
plumes. Paris is going wild, over
plumes for formal occasions. You need
not lose your head, but You can trim
a hat with plumes left over from the
winter. They are placed anywhere

people are urged to put up nesting
boxes where the birds may make their
homes and rear their young.
Are you going to Join the ranks OF
the bird protectors of this land? II
you are now ia the time to show your
loyalty to your feathered friends
Make some nesting houses and get
them up at once. The song birds are
worth protecting and should be pro-
vided with places to build their homes.
1t isn't difficult to make nesting boxes.
Once the birds have discovered them
they will begin to collect material
with which to line them and make
them soft and "comfey'' for their fam
lilies
Any small wooden box may be con-
verted into house. Use thin, smooth
boards for the roof Place a board
beneath the house to keep the cats
from climbing up to the birds home.
A good house Is made by following
out large tree limb and cutting q
hole in II for a doorway. For blue
birds make the entrance hole about
the size Of a quarter. If the box IL
intended for wrens make It smaller.

Use Of Perfumes.

There are many who think that
the use Of perfume is vulgar, and
again. others who believe that a deli.
cate fragrance surrounding the per-
son not only lends refinement, but is
also an element that has a health CIV
ing value. There is one thing to be
understood, however. which is that
perfumes should always be used in
moderation and only the best allowed.
Furthermore. always the same per-
fume should be used and the choicest
of that variety.

weeds with which farmers have to
contend.
It Is to be regretted that SO far as
the writer knows. no simple or prac.
tical method has been found that will
surely and completely eradicate
French weed. Some farmers have re-
ported methods that have proved sue.
cessful with them, but other farmers
have tried the same methods and
failed.
Some few things have been learned
by experiments. however. II this weed
is to be destroyed. the work must be
done thoroughly. The weed produces
seeds SO profusely that II one plant IL
allowed to go to seed large area Of
surrounding land will soon be In
tested.
II there il one direction In farming
in which thoroughness IL required, It
is in trying to destroy this weed. "A
slipshod way will not do, and an ounce
OF prevention Is worth thousand
pounds of cure Farmers whose farms
are free from the French weed should
guard against its incoming with the
utmost vigilance and care.
