CUTTING HAY AT RIGHT TIME
Task Should Re Performed in Morning
After Dew Is Off-Legumes Lose
Their Leaves Readily.

(By J. E. LARSON, Oregon Experiment
Station.)
Cut hay in the morning after the
dew Is off and rake into windrows as
soon as the leaves are thoroughly wilt
ed. Legures (clover, alfalfa, etc.
especially lose their leaves readily
and should be cured in windrow and
cocks and not in swath. Two or
three days in cocks will cure clover
hay enough for the NOW. Be sure
all outside moisture train and dew)
are of and little danger will be ex-
perienced in NOW burning, provided
the crop was cut at the proper stage.
You can't afford to lose the leaves by
swath curing. They represent a
large per cent of the nutritive value
Of the hay.
II grains are cut for hay, cut in
late milk or early dough stage. Allow
to wilt and cure some in windrow,
then put into cocks of good size, well
built and solid. The same method
will apply to grasses except that they
are often put in the haymow from the
windrow.

No one fails to appreciate the charm
of the lace-trimmed and fluffy night
dresses that make up the mass of
these garments. Always their pro-
ducers are presenting new designs
that captivate the eye with the dainty
combination OF ribbons and laces.
But there is another charm which be-
longs to the hand-embroidered gown
it is the charm of elegance as well as
beauty. There is nothing quite equal
to find hand embroidery in expressing
a refinement OF taste, in undergar-

The other young men watched her
less secretly. In fact, winks and
nudges were thick in the pattern de-
partment that morning. For the new
girl was undeniably beauty. The
other girls had noticed that fact too.
She was hardly more than eighteen,
and there was an air of breeding about
her which more than one girl instinc.
lively resented. Lucy Whitman was.
in fact, born to better things than this
six-dollar position. Her father had
been small shopkeeper, with ambf-
lions for his children. When he died
Lucy had to get position, and the
only one which offered was that of
waitress In a restaurant. She stood
that life for two months. But it was
impossible for girl of her appear
ance to endure 1t longer. Besides, the
proprietor was angry that she refused
to make up to his customers A pretty
girl meant increased trade, and he
saw no harm in her accepting the
cheap badinage Of the clerks who FREE
quented his place.

Pasture With Hogs in Early Spring.
The only method which can be rec
commended at the present time for
protection of the first alfalfa crop is
pasturing with hogs after the eggs Of
the weevil are laid In April or May.
The field to be pasturcd is divided
into two or more equal lots, each pro-
vided with water, shelter and facili-
ties for feeding. The hogs should have
rings in their noses If the owner
wishes to preserve his stand Of alfalfa.
The hogs are moved from one inclos-
ure to another as fast as they are able
to clean up the growth of alfalfa. A
small grain ration should supplement
the alfalfa for growing and fattening
pigs, but is not to be given the brood
sows. Under these conditions the first
crop Of alfalfa. is secured with no
labor cost, pork economically pro-
duced, and the weevil eggs and lar
vac are destroyed before they can do
any harm. Thus the field is left clean
for the growth of second crop which
can be cut for hay.

The alfalfa weevil. introduced into
this country at single spot near Salt
Lake City over ten years ago, has
slowly spread throughout the north
ern half of Utah, including three OF
the most productive counties, and
taken a foothold in the adjacent parts
of Idaho and Wyoming. It destroys
about one-half of the annual yield, un-
less measures are taken to prevent It.
The weevils, after spending the win
ter in the fields about the roots OF the
plants. deposit large numbers of pale
yellow eggs in cavities made in the
stems with their beaks. The little
green worms" which hatch from
these during spring and early sum-
mer, cluster upon the fresh shoots OF
alfalfa plants and feed, becoming
most numerous about June 1. They
destroy much of the first crop, in1ure
the quality of what remains, and COM
pei early cutting to prevent total loss.
The actual damage to the first crop Is
not far from so per cent Of Its value.
Upon the cutting Of the first crop the
larvae gather upon the bit Of food
which Is afforded by the new shoots
and destroy them as fast as they ap-
pear. This condition lasts until the
normal harvest time OF the second
crop, so that 1t is total loss. The
damage to the first two crops usually
amounts to about one-half the annual
yield
A valuable method for preventing
the injury to the second crop consists
In brush dragging the stubble after
removal of the first cutting. This was
devised by the Utah experiment sta
ton in cooperation with farmers. 1t
was improved later, however, in &C
tual practice by the adoption of
weighted spike-tooth harrow with sew
eral layers of woven wire stock fenc-
ing underneath, instead of the old
fashioned brush drag. This treatment
was widely adopted as a means OF
crushing the insects, and also as a
means of exposing them to the rays
Of the sun and to the choking action
Of the dust. The bureau of entomol-
ogy has proved that neither the me-
chanical crushing nor the direct rays
Of the sun contribute much to the eff
fectiveness of the dust-mulch treat
ment, and that most of the insects in
all stages die long before they are
smothered by the dust. The essential
factor in killing the weevils is the
heat absorbed by the soil from the
suns rays.
To kill the weevil the surface of
the field to be treated must be dry,
free from clods, cracks and vegeta-
ton. To get best results, however,
the sky must be clear and the weather
warm Under these conditions when
the soil reaches the necessary temper
ature of 100 degrees all stages of the
insect are killed in less than two min
utes The second crop of alfalfa Is
then free to grow The effectiveness
Of this treatment, however, is directly
proportional to the thoroughness with
which the above conditions are COM
piled with. If the soil Is not in good
condition 1t must be cultivated before
dragging. The great objections to
this method of fighting the weevil is

stitches combine to make the success
of the design.
Gowns of this kind are prettiest
when cut by the simplest patterns. In
the example shown here the sleeves
and body are in one; the shape OF q

Away back in 1843, it was, before
the admission of Iowa to the Union
of States, when the William L. Bass
family migrated from the east, came
to Iowa and stopped at Bonaparte in
Van Buren, county, down in the south
east corner of the territory. After q
stop there of three years the family
took up permanent residence in Ma
haska County which place has since
been their home with the exception OF
rather brief residence in What Cheer
in Keokuk County. The elder Chew
came to Iowa in connection with his
work in the Methodist church in 1850,
and brought his family to Oskaloosa.
The daughter, Miss Adelaide was born
in New Jersey at a point across the
river from Philadelphia. The attach
ment between this young lady and Mr..
Bass had origin before the days of
civil contention between states. Young
Bass enlisted as a member of Co. G
