ALFALFA AS A FORAGE CROP
Most Valuable Of Deep-Rooted Le-
gumes and Is Long Lived Under
the Best Of Conditions.

Alfalfa is an exceptionally deep
rooted legume, and under the best
conditions 1t is long lived. Like other
legumes, it has the capacity, under
the right conditions, of assimilating
nitrogen from the atmosphere, but
until the root system and the nodules
which 1t bears are well developed its
growth Is greatly promoted by the
presence Of readily assimilable nj.
trogen in the soil. 1t is without doubt
one OF the most valuable forage plants
known to man. 1t has long been cul-
tvated In various parts of Asia and
Europe, whence it was brought to
Mexico by the Spaniards, who took
1t with them to California and the
semi-arid portions of our southwest
ern states. During the last fifteen or
twenty years its culture has been
steadily pushed eastward, and 1t is
now successfully grown in most parts
of the United States and in a few
parts OF Canada. In many essentials
and In feeding value alfalfa resem-
bles the clovers; and as these are SO
generally known its characteristics
VIII be perhaps best brought out by
comparison.

orally only those silks will be pollin-
Rted which happen to be developed

sequence Is "nubbin" ear For this
reason, the same ear is usually gone
over by the pollinator two or three
times, In order to secure the success
full pollination of the greatest posi-
BILE number of silks.
In the method devised by the writer,
it is believed that a greater number
Of silks can be reached in one pollina-
ton, and that the danger of contami-
nation from foreign pollen is prac-
tically eliminated. The pollen Is ap-
piled to the silks by means of a COM
mon insect powder "gun" or spring
blower.
The blower is filed with anthers
and pollen from the sack taken from
the tassel. the latter being bent over
and raped sharply to secure the
shaking off Of the loose anthers and
pollen. In the sack the pollen is, of
course, mixed with the mass of empty
anthers from which It has been shed.
No special care, however, need be
taken to get the pollen separated from
the anthers. But having the nose Of
the blower cut down to a length Of
half an inch, any anthers which may
chance to clog the nozzle can easily
be pushed out with pin. AS a mat
ter of fact, for the most part the blast
expels pollen and anthers together
without difficulty.

Useless Clothes.

According to the united opinion of
doctors and race experts we eat too
much, and 1t might be wisely added
that nearly every woman buys too
many clothes. Each woman will deny
this assertion with emphasis, because
she remembers the frequent occasions
for which she had nothing to wear.
She has bought too much, however.
when she has two useless suits or
frocks hanging in the closet.
Half the secret Of Ill buying is the
random method adopted. One sees a
thing in the shop and buys 1t indie
pendent of Its immediate usefulness in
the wardrobe. Fashion In materials
changes almost as quickly as fashion
In silhouette, and the thing bought
merely because 1t might serve at some
time rarely finds its place In the
scheme of good dressing.

POLLINATION OF CORN
CONTAMINATION OF SILKS BY
FOREIGN POLLEN AVOIDED.
Tassel 10 Covered While Still Imra-
ture and Before Anthers Have
Protruded, With Ten-Pound
Manila Paper Sack.
(By H. F. RoBERTs.)

In the breeding Of corn, some diffl-
culties are encountered In the tech
nique Of pollination. in respect to the
prevention Of contamination OF the
silks by foreign pollen, carried on the
hands or instruments of the opera
tor, as he goes from plant to plant
engaged in the work of artificial pol
lination. To obviate these difficulties
the following method has been devised
by the writer and has been used with
success. The simplicity of the meth
cd and its complete effectiveness seem
to justify a description.
The tassel is covered while still
immature, and before the anthers have
protruded. with a ten-pound MANILA
paper sack, such as is commonly used
In grocery stores. The mouth of this
sack is securely gathered around the
stalk beneath the tassel and pinned
with rather stout long pin. Ordi-
nary pins are too small. The ear is
likewise covered with similar sack,
which is drawn tightly over the top
of the ear, folded around the stalk on
the opposite side and the folds pinned.
The sacking of the ear must be done
before the silks have begun in the
least to protrude from the husks. 9th
erwise pollination of the protruding
silks from vagrant pollen is almost
certain to occur.
When the silks have grown to a
length Of FIVE or six inches within the
sack, the ear Is usually in the best
condition for pollination, since by that
time most of the silks have grown
out. The first silks to appear are
those from the basal kernels, and SO
on progressively outward, the tip silks
being the last to develop In natural
wind pollination of corn, the pollen is
blowing about the field for a period
of week or ten days, during which
time the drifting pollen falls ON the
successive silks as they appear In

TO IMPROVE cHlLD's FRocK
Dainty Touches Of Hand Embroidery
VIII Give Distinction to Little
Ones Bought" Dress.

II you have not time to make the
little ones short dresses at home and
must buy them at the shops, do not
despair. Your chiIds dresses can be
made quite dainty by very few added
stitches when you get them home. For
that matter, the daintiest and finest Of
embroidered and handmade frocks can
be purchased at shops II your purse Is
we'll filed, but If you must economize,
more than two or three of these ex-
pensive little frocks are out Of the
question. Therefore. when you buy
the simpler ready-made garments see
that they have upon them places where
bit Of hand embroidery can be placed
when you get them home. The EN-
broidery may be the tiniest of sprays,
but the very fact that 1t is hand en-
broidery will give an entirely differ
ent atmosphere to bought frock.
There is a pretty custom now Of en-
broidery frocks for children In colored
silks. The dresses are, of course, In
variably in white when they are small
enough to be baby's first short gar
ments. The embroidery may be about
the yoke or simply at the front and the
back in the form of a spray. Some
times the embroidery Is run the entire
length of the little frock in panel form.
When colored silks cr mercerized cot
tons are used they must be in very
pale shades. These colored silks work
up beautifully in the lazy-daisy stitch
and French knots, whereas these same
stitches, especially the lazy-daisy, are
apt to look insipid and characterless in

INCREASE FARM EFFICIENCY
Work Done With Fewer Horses Means
Saving Of 500 Year for Each
Animal Not Required. !,
lBy A. H. BENToN.l

4. NJ
One Of the most frequent sources OF
loss on the farm is an insufficient re-
turn from work horses.
Have you satisfied yourself on the
following points?
1t costs 500 annually to keep the
average horse, but this horse works
only little more than three hours
each working day. This makes the
horse labor cost approximately ten
cents an hour.
Do you handle the horse labor on
your farm SO that the annual cost of
keeping your horses is less than the
average, so that the number of hours
worked is greater? Both methods
will reduce the cost of horse labor,
but the latter offers by far the great
est opportunity.
Can you revise your cropping sys-
tenn so that fewer work horses will
be needed, or SO that the work will be
more equally distributed and thus
make 1t possible to employ them more
hours each year?
Can you raise colts and thus re-
duce the cost Of keeping your horses?
Can you arrange to use your work
horses for outside work when not busy
on the farm?
Can you reduce the cost of keeping
each horse by feeding less feed or
cheaper feed and still give a proper
ration?
Farm work done with fewer horses
means a saving of 800 a year for
each horse not needed.
