MAY BE MADE AN ORNAMENT
lnnumerabIe Designs Suggest Them
selves for the Humble but Use
full Plncushlon.

"A pincushion In every ROOM" was
one of the rules recently given by q
novelist, who was describing the ideal
house. We all use pincushions every
day, yet usually we allow them to be
shabby and undistinguished or over
elaborate and vulgar.
The pincushion that hangs up must
be separated by a sharp line from:
those that are designed to repose upon
the dressing table, to rest in the sew
ing basket or to be a part of the bach
elor's friend" Again, almost all house
hold utensils, fruits and flowers, vege-
tables, animals, birds, butterflies, fish
and leaves have been represented by
the pincushion caterer, without omit
ting the gallery of national costumes
composed Of native dolls dressed from
original sketches, and keeping COM
pany with legion Of fanciful conceits
bought in toy shops.
Odd little baskets have sawdust
filed cushions with coverings of bright
silks, satins, ribbons or lace. The han
dies are ribbon trimmed, or are done
away with altogether, If the cushion is
to be set upon a stand. A volume could
be written upon the various styles and
ways to make novel cushion covers,
but it must not be forgotten that many
people prefer to have their pincushions
look like nothing but what they
are.
For these there are the plain COW
ers of quantity figured silk or brocade.
The long fiat shape buttoned down by
tiny silk buttons-like miniature mat
tress-is among the best.
It is not generally known that cof-
fee grounds, washed and dried, make
an excellent filling for pincushlons.
Eawdust is not always easy to get, and
bran, which is often used as a substi-
tute, is not always clean.

THE Experiment Station has for
q number of years sold quite
a large amount OF kafllr for
seed. This seed has been eagerly
sought by farmers from practically
all sections of the state and they
generally report that 1t is earlier than
the kailir grown in their locality
This almost unanimous report OF
earliness from all parts OF the state
is quite n striking feature of the de.
mand for this seed At first glance
one would think that the station had
some secret whereby they are able
to forever put out early seed, which
gives good satisfaction, or else one
would think that the farmers of Kan
sas raised nothing but 4 very late
strain of katIir, and that 1t is neces.
sary to secure the college seed In
order 10 get kafFir which will ripen
early enough to give satisfaction.
Now, the fact of the matter Is that
the college seed may be slightly
earlier than some other strains
grown throughout the state, but the
excellence of this seed rests not
wholly on selection for earliness, but
rather on selection for the power to
produce grain II one will stop and
think for minute, they will see that
where n great many varieties or Sc
~ Enf it. Will
those which give the most satisfac-
tory grain yields must of necessity
be pure, uniform and early enough
to meet the demands OF the climate.
Now. when this kind of seed is com.
pared with the seed ordinarily used
by the farmers, which is low in pro-
ducing power. lacking in uniformity
and so mixed and full of hybrid
strains that II is not pure variety
in any sense of the word, the result
is that the well selected seed asserts
its yielding power and Is, Of course,
reported as extremely satisfactory
from all viewpoints. There are prob.
ably plenty Of strains in the mixed
kafiir of the surrounding fields, which,
II separated out. would be Just as
early as the college seed.
If is impossible for the State Ex-
pertinent Station to supply the de.
mand for their kafiir seed, although
they raise excellent crops of 1t every
year.S 1t, therefore, is necessary for
the farmers throughout the various
parts OF the state to select their
kafI1r and care for it on much the
same lines as they conduct their seed
corn selection. The Department OF
Agronomy advises that the farmer go
through the fields before frost and
save heads, which appear early
enough. He should not select head
which is near a hybrid talk or near
fields of other sorghums. The head
saved for seed should be larger than
those around 1t, provided the stand is

uniform at that place, for this shows
that the stalk that bore 1t was q bet
ter producer than its fellows, although
all had an equal chance. Large
heads from places in the field where
the stand is poor should not be Sc
lected, for almost any stalk of katfir
II given plenty OF room will produce
a fine large head. The stalk itself
should be of medium height, thick
AMI heavy in appearance with as
many leaves as possible. The up
per leaf should be some distance from
the bottom of the head,-thls Is n
very important point. 1t is the lack
of power to push the head complete
IS out from the last leaf which
causes MS TO frequently discard 9TH
erwise excellent stalks. If the head
is enclosed at the base with this up.
per leaf there is provided hiding
place for insects and a cover which
will hold moisture and start mold ana
rot in the field; then when the kali"
is threshed this is distributed
through the grain and aids somewhat
in heating and other troubles.
One OF the most important assets
OF kafiir is the fact that 1t remains
green practically until time OF frost
aud thus has an excellent chance to
mature its seed; but. IL the CROP
happens to be late and the seed is
somewhat immature when frosted.
this very lack of maturity will aid
in causing the seeds to crack in
threshing and It is we'll known fact
that immature kaffir grain heats
more readily than well matured grain.
Therefore, If one expects to produce
the highest quality Of kaffir seed, he
should take care to get early seed.
When the heads are selected, 1t is
an easy matter to spread them out
on a floor or on boards laid on the
rafters of a granary, where they will
dry quickly. If necessary to pile
them up. they should be moved every
day until dry. Kaffir is sometimes
sold in the head just as ear corn Is
sold for seed and it is claimed by
those who do this that the germina-
ton is better than where the seed
is threshed early in the winter. If it
is desired to further improve the
kaffir crop, the following method,
which is used at many Of the expert
ment stations. is suggested: In kaffir
breeding. use the ear.to-row method
as applied in corn breeding-plant
one head in a row. These rows will
be very different from each other at
harvest time, both in appearance and
in yielding power. Save seed for
next year from not over 10 per cent
of the best rows and not only get
early seed, but get seed which Will
yield from one-third to one-half more
than the ordinary mixed crop which
has been handled previously.
