With moisture and seed-bed condi-
tions favorable, alfalfa may be sown
to advantage in July without a nurse
crop. Summer seeding may be done
on summer-fallowed ground.
For summer seeding the usual pro-
cedure is to disk the ground early in
spring and then to use the disk and
harrow often enough to keep the land
mellow and free from weeds until July.
II the weeds cannot be'kept down with
the harrow and disk, the land may be
plowed and the disking and narrowing
continued. Sowing the alfalfa seed
without an accompanying grain crop in
July, has given better results than SOW
ing in the same way in June or earlier.
This method has the disadvantage
Of requiring considerable work with no
crop returns from the land for one sea-
son. However, good stand Of alfalfa
Is usually assured unless heavy rains,
followed by hot sun and wind, come
Immediately after the seed is sown,
and opportunity to clear the land from
weeds is afforded.
A modified summer-fallow method
may be used to advantage in many in
stances, also. In this, after the cutting

CLOVER MAKES fine
PASTURE FOR SWINE
System Outlined Which Has
Worked Well With Many Hog
Growers in Minnesota. A
Observation-Disclosures

Plenty Of tender, nourishing hog pas
ture of good quality may be had dur
ing the entire season II clover Is
grown, say men at the Minnesota col
lege of agriculture. AS soon as the
pigs are strong enough, the brood
sows with their litters may be turned
into clover field. II one-third to half
Of the clover is mown about June 10,
the hogs will eat the young shoots
that spring up and will not bother the
uncut part Of the field.
The rest of the field may be cut at
the regular haying time. By having
the pasture we'll stocked with pigs
and calves one need not worry about
taking care of the pasture for the rest
of the summer. By>fall the pigs ought
to weigh from so to 80 pounds each.
This system has worked well with
many hog raisers. in Minnesota. In a
good season, one acre Of pasture will
provide feed for three brood sows and
their pigs. Plenty Of cot room and
trough room with proper feeding facil-
tiles ought to be provided in each pas
ture. The cots should be from 20 to
40 rods from the feeding place, so
that the pigs will get out into the pas
ture and take plenty Of exercise.

litters Of pigs can lay up neat sum

says w. H. Palmer Of the agricultural
extension department, Ohio State uni
versity, Columbus. He interprets in
telligent care as a comfortable house
with dry bedding, milk or milk and
shorts ration by the third week of a
pigs life, and clean place to eat,
with plenty of forage as they get older.
If a little pen or creep is built near the
sleeping place they can be fed when
they are young and small, which pre-
vents the young porkers from losing
their pig fat" By keeping success
sion of forage crops for the pigs
through the summer the ration of grain
can be lessened and the profits in

A hat made of small silk piecer in
many different colors, joined toget her

ALL SORTS OF
SPORTS HATS.

Sports and outing hats are classed
as one in a new department of mil
linery that stands for the spirit Of
the times. There are all sorts of
sports hats, from the low-priced but
chic fabric-covered shapes which one
may buy for very few dollars, to
the expensive hand-wrought shapes
with handmade garnitures that cost
their possessors several times $40.
But sports hats are luxuries which all
may enjoy-an extra hat with which
the new woman expresses her devo-
ton to out-of-doors and the pleasures
of summer time.
Besides innumerable fabric-covered
hats there are sports hats made Of
millinery braids and other millinery
materials which give designers ample
opportunity to depart from the ordl-
nary in creations unlike other mil
linery. Originality is much priced and
the fancy is allowed free play in hats
of this character, so that unexpected
and even bizarre novelties find ready
following. Among the most success
full of those lately produced are shapes
with round crowns and flexible brims,
covered with Turkish toweling in
cream color. Fruits and flowers are
made of this unpromising material
for trimming them. but paint has be-
come part of the milliners' equip
ment, and their fruits and flowers

MAY SOON RIVAL FOOTBALL
Or. Naismlth of State University Has
New Candidate for Popular
ity in School Sports.

DR.. James Naismith, professor OF
physical education at the University
of Kansas, and whose name is linked
with that of basketball, the game he
invented" and brought to its present
stage of perfection, has sprung new
game on his classes. Up to the pres
ent time he has not given the new
sport name, but if the enthusiasm
with which it is being received at the
university is any indication, 1t should
prove a headliner for high school and
interclass contests within the next
year.
The new game combines all OF the
best features Of football and soccer
with the liability of injury reduced to
minimum. According to the prelim-
mary rules the field on which the
game is played shall be regulation
rugby field with rugby goals. Each
team will have eleven members and
may take any position on the field
that may be deemed best. The ball
is similar to that used in soccer and
there will be forty minutes Of play
divided into four quarters. Scoring
will be done by either place or drop
kick from the field OF from a free try
or crossing the goal line.
The most unique feature of the new
game is that rule which pertains to
the handling of the ball. When the
ball is in play and is below the hips
all players must kick and no player
is allowed to lay hands upon the
sphere until II has been kicked to a
position above the hips, where it then
becomes permissible to use the hands.
At this time kicking is permitted by
runner who has taken the ball by
hand. A player running with the ball
may be tackled, but tackling below
the hips is taboo, thus eliminating the
possibility of injury by the runner
kicking the tackler. The runner,
when tackled is, by the rules of the
game, compelled to stop, and the tack
Ter is not allowed to throw him.
While the game has proved intense
ly interesting at the University, DIR.
Naismith contends that it's chief value
will be to high schools and interclass
contests and ho intends giving it wide
notice when ne has brought about the
desired improvements.

Of peas and oats, oats or clover, for
hay, in the latter part Of June or early
in July, the land is plowed at once It
is then disked once every week or ten
days up to the last week in July, when
the alfalfa seed is .sown without
nurse crop. Again, early potatoes may
be dug late in July and the land thor
oughly disked in preparation for seed
ing to alfalfa. By either Of these
methods crop is secured and good
stand of alfalfa obtained unless the
season be an abnormally dry one.
An early grain crop such as barley,
rye, or early oats may also be removed
and the land handled as outlined
above. If alfalfa is sown following
grain. it is important to plow very shall
low, or to disk the land twice thor
oughly, as soon as the grain crop ia
removed, so as to start the grain that
has been left in the ground to grow
ing.
Time should be taken to germinate
and destroy the volunteer grain, before
sowing the alfalfa, 80 that the grain
may not crowd the young alfalfa plants.
This method, however, has not given
such success as seeding after summer
fallow or after an early hay crop has
been removed.

QUICKEST GAINS BY

"By feeding the young porker

greater profit" says Joel 8. Coffew Of
the animal husbandry department,
Ohio State university. To this end
the SOW should be given all the good
milk-producing feed she will eat.
When the pigs are month old or
younger, they should be fed skim milk
in shallow pan. Then slop made
of milk, shorts, bran and a little. tank
age should be given. The little pigs
should be fed in a creep which shuts
out the sows or other pigs. Corn
can be added to the ration later.

USING SWEET CLOVER
AS A SOIL BUILDER
It Will Produce Crop on Land So
Poor That Red Glover and
Alfalfa Won't Grow.

Investigations by the iowa Agricul'
tural college among the farmers OF
that state show that the common sweet
clover is more than equal to the other
clovers, or alfalfa, as soil builder. 1t
will produce a crop on land so poor
that red clover and alfalfa will not
grow. 1t is sometimes claimed that II
will grow on land totally devoid of or
ganic matter. This. seems somewhat
doubtful, but there is no question as to
its being one of the rankest growers
known on poor land.
