In the Italian Garden.

In the Italian Garden.
 CROSS the meadows and A through Beverley wood Harry N Anson, The Whips Jockey, fol-
 lowed his sister. The manner of the girl was furtive, and occasional ly she looked back as though she sUs- pected she was being followed.
 At such times Harry, in the dusk of the evening, took advantage of what ever cover there was So Myrtle, with out being more than half conscious of another's presence, finally arrived in the Italian garden that stretched and EIoped away from FaIconhurst to the south. Now, he thought, he would find out to whom Myrtle had been giv- ing news of the racers in the Beverley stables. But in his haste to enter the garden, too, and conceal himself, he stumbled over small rose bush whose small branches had needed trimming by the gardener.
 With a shudder Myrtle turned and saw him. But. nevertheless, with the strategy of a woman, she at once put him on the defensive.
 Harry. what are you doing he-e?p she demanded.
 Harry explained that Lord Beverley had sent for him, as he had. But, i'll turn, he asked:
 What are you doing here? Eve seen you come sinking along this many a time. Some ones been talk ing. Things have got out about the horses. Who talks?"

 On his way to the library, where he had an engagement with Lord Bever- ley, Tom Lambert, the trainer, came into the garden at this moment, and the furious sense of Harry at once jumped to the same conclusion which had been troubling Mrs. Beamish. In stantly the boy walked up to the portly but sturdy elder man and shook his fist under Lambert's nose

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
HOW TO HAVE A SWEET BREATH
BY BLANCHE BEACON

An offensive breath is bad enough, goodness knows, in anybody. But when woman has offensive breath, the unpleasantness is tripled, for we look for sweetness and charm in a. woman always.
 Bad breath is generally caused by some physical condition, generally of the stomach. Indigestion almost all ways is a cause. Naturally, it is ad- visable to cure indigestion from the standpoint of physical comfort as well as any other.
 Another cause, ig your tonsils. Very often little cheezy particles catch on the tonslls, and gradually fill up the small Impressions thereon. These grow in sibe until too large for the depres- sion, then one coughs them up and wonders why that bad taste in the mouth. Take this to your doctor also. It admits of no home remedy. It Is a frequent cause of bad breath.
 Also, small particles of food lodged between the teeth and decaying there are to be reckoned with. Use dental floss after each meal-but for Heav- ems sake don't use it in public. have noticed that apparently very cu1- tured and charming women are get ting into the habit of using a tooth pick quite brazenly and openly. If they could only get a side light on themselves, I feel sure. they would stop 1t. Please do not be guilty of such breach of good taste and com mon decency yourself, no matter whom you see do it.
 Here is a good mouth wash, that may help you of your bad breath: Twelve ounces of alcohol
 Two and one-half drams of cinnamon. One-hah dram of ginger.
 One dram of essence of peppermint One-eight dram of cloves.
 Leave all this in infusion in a tight 1y covered vessel for two weeks. Then

 Alone in the Italian garden were Mrs. D'Aquila and Captain GrevilIe sartorfs. There was certain k1nshtp of spirit between the two. Sartoris was cool and incisive-so was the woman. Sartoris had not hesitated at much to gain his small sporting ends, neither would she. He was now on the point of anything criminal that would advance his pocketbook, go would she be. Added to this, they had known one another intimately in Lon don in a certain society in which Mrs. D'Aquila was not at home and which Sartoris sought occasionally. They had heard the verdict of the consultation of surgeons and physi- clans, and it was presented tc them by Sir Andrew Beck
 An operation would do no good. Brancaster might die that night or he might begin to mend. Once his recov- cry began-if begin 1t did-it would be very rapid. Much of the immediate past would be as nothing to him. Probably he would not remember any thing about his accideAt.
 "An injury to the brain such as he has received" Sir Andrew had said, ''often knocks a bit out of the mem ory.''5
 And now Mrs. D'Aquila sat thinking over his words, as she had just come from the chamber of Brancaster, while Sartoris, equally thoughtfub smoked his strong and perpetual cigarettes at her side. Finally the woman raised her eyes broodingly to his thoughtful face as they sat together on a stone bench.

of America at present. There must
be something to the plant besides a
field pest, a useless weed as 1t has
been considered for so long time.
The plant has been known to agri-
culture for more than 200 years, but
it has been considered noxious
weed all these centuries until about
20 years ago few discoveries were
made that gave 1t some prominence
as forage crop and soil builder To-
day it is coming into its merited
place, the best legume that grows

hundreds of bushels of seed this
year, and it is probable that most of
them will be offered for sale. Not
one bushel should leave the county,
We need them all. No plant that
grows rejuvenates worn soils quick
er. DR.. Hopkins of Illinois Univer-
sity says that two years growth of
melilotus on an acre stores nitrogen
in the ground equivalent to 30 tons
of stable manure. Isn't that Won
derful prodigality of nature supply
ing our depleted soils with the very
plant food element we so much need?
There is no plant that aerates land
as melilotus does. It's root system
is immense and penetrates the hard
pan soil underlying SO much of our
clay Soils No plant adopts itself to
such a variation of soils. Naturally
it loves lime soil but will grow on
any soil in the county. 1t stands
wet winters and dry summers better
than alfalfa. At the Iowa station an
acre of alfalfa furnished grazing for
20 pigs while an acre of melilotus

it, but they finally eat it.
Practical bee men of Noxubee
county have told me that it is worth
$4,000 per acre the year It bloomed
for bees to gather nectar from. The
first year of its growth it furnished
two cuttings of hay. that according
to the Iowa station, shows a higher
protein analysis than alfalfa. One
cutting can be gathered the second
year, then a seed crop that is worth
from $4,000 to $500 per acre.

start a campaign for melilotus on

1t Is impossible to speak OF each
of our visitors by name, most OF
them are men of great renown, ana
nothing that I could say would add
additional luster to their names.
However, I feel that am warranted
in thanking Mr.. r. " Taylor, vice.
president of the NJ. & o. Railroad,
for his presence and that of his as
sistants. 1t is very significant when
high railroad official attends an
agricultural meeting. and 1t Is very
fortunate when they do so. The rep
resentative of the railroads and the
people need to know each other bet

fewer differences. I should be glad
for the representatives OF the rail-
roads to visit the people and people
to visit the railroad representatives
until their line of differences would
be rubbed out, when they could
stand together for progress. Mr..
Taylor, the doors of Noxubee always
stand open to you.
The speakers who will address you
ladies and gentlemen, are men well
qualified to speak, and have gained
the right to do so, by reason OF their
achievements. Every word they say
will be as gold If you will but take
advantage of 1t. Do not expect
flights of oratory, for remember this
is the utilitarian age. From the dis

know the meaning of over-fowing

your cattle, nor what honey is until
you have eaten alfalfa honey, nor
what delicately marbled beef is until

that of rulers or statesmen.
For the opportunity of having this
great meeting we are indebted di-
rectly to Mr.. G. H. Afford. Mr.. Al
ford is an agricultural writer, journ-
alist, speaker and farmer. For a
great many years he has made valu-
able contributions to agricultural lit
erature. His latest contribution is
booklet which you will find in the
literature that is being handed out,
entitled alfalfa Growing in the Cot
ton Belt" This is very valuable
contribution to literature on the
growing of alfalfa, and contains all
that anyone would need to know to
properly grow the plant.
To his able co-worker, Mr.. j. e.
Buck, we will be indebted for the
publicity which will be given the
proceedings in Noxubee county. Mr..
Buck is a newspaper man of wide ex-
perience and great ability and a
most genial gentleman.
l have been associated with these
two gentlemen for the past several
days and | consider that have been
most fortunate in being with them.
I wish here to say publicly that II
| have seemed extravagant in my
statements to them about Noxubee
county and her people, that | would
be glad for them to remember that
Noxubee county is my county, and
her people my people, and when they
do. I feel sure they.will pardon what
otherwise they might charge to
egotism or vanity.
Now to our visitors I wish to ex-
tend the warmest welcome, and to

them that hospitality of ye olden
time. Further, l grant to you, our
visitors, free ingress and egress to

The farmer, when everything is re-
duced to its last analysis, is the real,
and the only real producer of wealth.
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
miner, or the diver who goes down
into the sea for pearls, simply
changes wealth already existing
from one form to another, but the
farmer sees as a result of the sweat
of his brow an absolute addition to
the wealth of the world. It is a
noble occupation, and while the opin-
ion of mankind upon this subject has
fiuctuated during the years, Its dig
nifty and attractiveness is at this

welcome to our visitors.
4 First, | deem it proper to explain
I the object and purpose of the gath
I ering. Prof. Holden, the great corn
i expert, has inaugurated nation
4 wide campaign, and "Alfalfa on Evz
cry Farm" is the cry. This is the
\ first of the meetings to be held in
the South.
In his efforts at corn growing Prof.
Holden is said to be worth to the
\ State of Iowa, 100000 bushels of
corn a year, and an incalcuable
Aamount to the great corn belt. His
ideas on corn growing have been ap-
\ plied to the other cereals-wheat,
oats and barley-with the result
that their yields have been wonder
\ fully increased.
Il About eight years ago start was
made with 40 grains OF barley, and
now the seed from that barley en-
\ compass the earth, there being prac-
! tically no other barley seed used IN

wonderful success, in the growing OF

Il idea of growing alfalfa on every farm
