THE UPLlFT OF THE ANCHOR

I weep the fate of anchors.
 Deep pity stirs my blood: They ought to he nplifted
 Instead of ground in mud. Environment is mighty;
 Equality is urged. For all should have the sunlight And none should be submerged. III used by selfish captains.
 Allowed to fall and slip. Oh, how can any anchor
 Grow up to be a ship? When storms and tempests lower When skies portentous frown. Oh. treat the anchor kindly.
 And do not push 1t down.

We need absolute honesty in pub lie life; and we shall not get it until we remember. that truth-telling must go hand in hand with it, and that it is quite as important not to tell an untruth about a decent man as 1t is to tell the truth about one who is not decent.

same time, so that they may be cured
for hay at one cutting. Select those
that furnish the most leaves, and thus
diminish the amount of woody, indi-
gestible matter in hay.
It is folly to try to skim off a second
crop from the meadows. If the growth
is too rank in the fall pasture it off
with young stock; but do not pasture
it close enough to injure it's chances
of living through the winter.
Nature provides for winter by pro-
noting rapid fall growth. The old
ideas of getting something for nothing
have been exploded for a long time,
and If we cut three tons of hay from
our meadows we must feed them &C
cordingly and keep the bare spots COW
cred with grass instead of weeds.
If we supply better forage rations
for our live stock they will come
through the winter in better condition
and 1t will require less grain to keep
them in a thrifty condition.
We, as a rule, are feeding too much
grain to our animals, and unless we
devote more attention to providing
nutritious forage rations we must ex-
pect less hardy and vigorous animals.

The ones that grow will not inter
yield will be increased.
1t has been found that land will not
produce it's maximum yield of grass
unless it is occupied by a number OF
kinds of grasses.
Practical experience has shown that
any soil will be more certain to yield
larger and better crops of forage and
hay when it is seeded with mixed
grasses than when sown to clover and
timothy alone.
Our flocks and herds will thrive bet
ter when fed on mixed grasses (no
matter whether in a green condition
or cured for hay) than they will when
fed on any one or two varieties soWn
alone. no matter how nutritious these
grasses may be.
We shall find it in every way as i'm
portant to balance our forage rations
as it is the grain rations, if we would
obtain the best results from a mini
mum amount of feed.
All animals that depend upon grass
will thrive better when fed on mix
ture, for the elements are furnished
in a greater abundance and in a man
ner better adapted to their needs.
If you have ever noticed horse or
COW at liberty you will have observed
the fact that they are constantly going
from one kind of grass to another
while they are eating.
Animals will often walk from one
end of large pasture to another to
get q nibble of some variety of grass
that is different from that in the other
end of the pasture.
Pastures that contain the greatest
number of varieties of grass are in
variably the ones that will support
the most stock.
1t is one of the evils Of our system
Of farming to pillow up good pasture,
for it requires a number of years to
get good turf established.
In selecting grass seed for perma-
nent pasture select kinds that will
bloom in succession from early sum-
mer until late in the fall so that when
one kind is not growing there will be
another to occupy the soil and prevent
weeds from growing in where the soil
is not occupied.
In selecting grasses for the meadow
select varieties that flower about the

THE new veilings that are popular
i are those that are simple in de-
sign. They consist of novelty mesh,
with border of chenille dots, or all
over effects of dots on a fine mesh.
1t is in the management of these
two features, the mesh and the dot,
that the designers have made the
wonderful variety in patterns that are
shown in yelling departments. 1t
happens that different sizes and
shapes in the mesh make the Teils
more or less becoming to the indi-
yiduaI wearer 1t would be impos-
sible to describe the varieties IN
which veilings are woven. Nets are
designed with the mesh showing out
lines in squares, hexagons, circles,
triangles and every variation Of these.
If one studies the dots they will be
found to vary as much as the meshes
in shape There are small circular
dots. squares, double squares, dia-
monds and tiny floral patterns. Also
there are combinations Of these on the

HUNTING THE SHOE
BY n. M. EGEERT.

All the way over Nicholson had trleo
to make the acquaintance Of the girl
in brown. But, try as hard as ne
could, he failed to elicit anything
more than parting greeting from her.
She was named Mary Martin, and ne
overheard her telling the steward that
she was a school teacher and spend
ing her vacation on tour of the Brit

Nicholson was making pleasure

young men who have sufficient income
to make work unnecessary. Not tnat
he was an idler. He meant to take
up sociology seriously-was, in TACT,
on his way to England at the invita-
ton of a friend, to attend some crowd
ed political meetings in the Black
Country, the industrial part of the
Midlands.
The girl in brown would not say
anything more than "good-morn1ng
and "good-evening." She even seemed
to resent Nicholson's attempts to

young man, but the girl in brown had
made a profound impression upon his

tells us whether these affairs have in
them the possibility of permanence.
Nicholson felt that he could love the
girl in brown-given prOpinquity for
the development of his passion-until
he died.
However, love must have responsive
ness, and by the time he reached OK
ford he had only pleasant, mellowed
memory Of her. He put up at the

(By w. MILTON KELLY
The successful grass grower needs
to have a practical understanding OF
all the species of tame grasses that
we grow as well as a knowledge OF
their requirements and conditions that
are essential to their growth.
Much of the success and many times
all of the profits Of our farms are di-
rectly dependent upon the amount and
quality Of hay and forage produced.
Very few farmers bestow much
thought, care or attentions to their
grass land, and comparatively few can
name the different varieties of
grasses that are growing on their own
farms.
They SOW timothy and clover (Which
is not grass) in their rotations because
the custom of other farmers in their
section is to do the same thing.
They fail to devote their attention
to the study of the less common varie-
ties that are in many cases better
adapted to their particular kind of soil.
After committing a few timothy and
clover seeds to their poorly fitted
fields they congratulate themselves
that they have done all that mortal
man can do and either blame the gov
eminent at Washington or their
weather for their mislicks and fail
ures.
A careful study of the English sys-
tenn of maintaining permanent mead
ow and pasture would essentially aid
us in the management of our grass
lands.
There we may find from ten to
twenty kinds of grass growing on one
sod and all thriving and producing
.hay and forage.
We go on our meadows when the
proper time comes, cut the grass, cure
It into hay and haul it to the stack
Or barns and think no more about the
whole matter until the next year
comes
Then we go out and go through
the same motions, only we get a
smaller crop, and keep this up until
the yield is so small that we feel it is
necessary to plow up the field and re-
seed it to clover and timothy again.
We don't go to the trouble of top
dressing or fertilizing the meadow or
tile-drain it to prevent the water from
drowning it out during the wet sea-

Unless All Signs Fail.

Mrs. Commuter, basely deserted by
her maid at the eleventh hour, mobil-
lied a Swedish reserve in desperation
for the dinner party. All the English
the new domestic understood was the
sign manual, but an hours drill put
her in some shape for service. The
dinner went well until dessert. The
swede forgot the finger-bowls which
should have been upon the plates. Mrs.
Commuter employed the sign manual
under cover of the table illustrating
the washing and drying of hands. The
Swede nodded, went out and returned.
Mrs. Commuter turned to find the new
domestic at her elbow. Serenely she
held dish-pan of hot water, a cake of
yellow washing-soap, and the kitchen
roller towel.

the girl in brown.
She did not pay the slightest heed
to him, but, without any sign of rec
ignition, entered her room adjacent.
Nicholson sighed, changed his mind
about going to bed, and went out and
promenaded the High for nearly an
hour.
Boots, dazzled by the bestowal of a
truly American tip, informed Nichol-
son of the British custom of putting
ones shoes outside the bedroom door
to be polished. 81 cleans 'em, sir" he
said. "I'll give you an extra shine.
Thank you kindly, sir"
Nicholson went to bed and slept like
a Just man without remorse or care.
In fact, he was little ashamed to
discover, when he opened his eyes,
that the sun was shining brightly. He
opened his door. Outside lay one of
his shoes. And, next to it, was a

Nicholson had a spare pair of shoes

But Boots was nowhere to be found.

What was it he wanted to say to

each side of the knot at the crown.
Here the ends are rolled into small
puffs and pinned at either side of the
knot These puffs fill in the break
between the knot and the hair at
each side. The result is a couture
of graceful lines and simple and taste
full arrangement.
A very good way for dressing thin
hair has been devised with the aid OF
a small hair roll or supports of crepe
hair. The hair must be frizzed or
combed about the face by dampening
and doing up on crimping pins or
braiding it in tight, small braids over
night. When it is combed out in the
morning the stray straight ends are
curled about the face with the curling
iron.
All the hair is combed back over a
small hair roll, forming a low pompa-
dour 1t is tied at the back rather
low on the crown and separated into
four or five strands. These are rolled
into puffs and pinned across the back
of the head.
Thin hair is rather difficult to keep
in place and hair net is brought
over this couture and fastened in
many places with invisible pins. 1t
is left very loose across the fore
head when the hair is arranged in a
short side part, dip, or in any line
about the face that best becomes the
wearer. In this style no extra pieces
of hair are used, but the hair roll as
a support is an essential. The Golf
fure will not be a success without it.

Another case of the inferiority of
our meadow lands is the fact that

can it be done? BY thorough tillage!
By the use of more grass seed? Most

Long wells, like those shown in the
