WAS IN A HURRY
BY ANNA LEVY.

I'm in a big hurry today" declared
the girl as she settled back in the
dentists chair. It's now ten o'clock,
and l simply must leave here by IL!
You'll hurry, won't you?"
All right" said the dentist. w

1t was this back tooth we were work
ing on. Has it been ~bothering you
this week." He paused, the small mir.
ror held neal her mouth.
ooh, just a minute!' The girl
squirmed sideways and settled herself
again. Eyes, it's been bothering me
a lot. I've hardly been able to eat a
thing. can Just feel that h sharp
little wire thing you've got there is go
ing right into the very nerve. why
don't you know just where h nerve
is, and try to keep as far from it as
possible?" She pressed her lips tight
together and frowned at the offending
instrument.

its just sensitive dentine that both

"Oh, it burns like everything!' The
girl sat belt upright, pushing his hand
away, and reached for the water glass.
'Now, if you go and wash it all away
l can't promise a sure cure, you
know" demonstrated the dentist.
well, l don't know that being
burned to death is preferable to sensl-
tive dentine, anyway" replied the girl,
calmly drinking the the water before
once more settling comfortably back
in the chair. Nov, you'd better hur-

minute. Wait until it stops aching,

the clean towel he handed her, and
glared at him.
ooh, why on earth do we have teeth
anyway? They're always full of holes
and it's a choice between toothache
and a dentists numbering hands-anc

"Ill tell you," said the dentist, ban

The latest Paris fashions are no
doubt interesting to the women be-
cause they can discern in every de
tail a gentle purpose. To them every
picture of a fashion has some inter
esting detail. But to men they all
look alike. There is no details about
them, no belts, no fringe, nc lace. no
braids, no loops, no ribbons, and none
OF the particulars that mn notice
with deep interest. To a mar there Is
no difference in the fashion from day
to day or week to week, but in the
course OF months or years he may no
tice the difference in the general from.
For instance, he will noticA that the
full skirt has departed n ~buttoning
up the back has arrived, but the lat
ter, Of course, is not to be attributed
to his keenness of observation. These
daily glimpses of the latest from Paris
suggest the wide difference between
the mans and the woman's world. A
man would see more interest in a fish
ing tackle than in the handsomest
gown from Paris; but to a woman the
latter would be a world of delight
full curiosity, while she would turn
with disgust from the tackle and all
the fish 1t caught.

BY DONALD STILL, HOPE, N. D.
If a person had his land well pre-
pared and clean he ought to raise a
good crop of alfalfa. On ours the pc.
tato furrows and vines prevented 1t
from working down good. We did
rot %inoculate when we seeded as we
did not understand what good it did,
but we will do so next spring, putting
in the bacteria soil with a drill. Two
OF my brothers have a field Of three
acres that is said to be the best in he
country. They get from six to seven
tons to the cutting on the three acres.
They have had two crops this year
and will cut again within a week, CIV
ing it plenty Of time to make a good
growth before winter. They sowed
broadcast.
They stacked the may this year and
part Of it spoiled. The next time they
stacked. they put a covering of ordi-
nary hay over it to keep it from spoil
ing. l have read many articles on the
raising of alfalfa, but none say how
TO put it up. l believe that if it was
put up the same as other hay it would
spoil. We are thinking of cuitivating
some next year. According to the lee
lures at the farm boys encampment at
Grand Forks, Montana, alfalfa is the
best for North Dakota, but | now ct
no seed of that kind around here.

MAKES GOOD HOG PASTURE
Manure Helps in Getting a Stand
Seed Bed Should Be Flrm-A!-
faIfa a Success az a Hog

BY JAS. T. SULLIVAN, East Grand

BY JAS. T. SULLIVAN, East Grand
Forks, MINI.
I think for growing alfalfa, land
should first be thoroughly MANFRED
and put in good condition. l think
good manure is all the incubation the
land requires for alfalfa. The land
should be prepared by narrowing well,
and packing as firm as possible. l
think the proper time to SOW is from
the LIST to the 10th of May, according
to the season.
l have had in growing alfal-
ia with wheat as a nurse crop n
also without a nurse crop. 1t depends
much on the season and particularly
on the condition of the land.
l sowed seven acres of alfalfa this
spring for hog pasture. About the
first of May, 1 raked up all old stalks
thoroughly and then sowed seed broad
cast and covered with a harrow. l
had a splendid catch, sowing 100
pounds of alfalfa and 20 pounds Of
rape.
1t stands about 10 inches high and
hogs seem to like it but cannot eat it
fast enough to keep it down.
The same piece of land / had sown
in sweet corn for two previous years
for my hogs, but it did not give enough
feed so l thought I should try alfalfa
and it seems to be a success as to
feeding value for hogs.
