If the bride is one of those who
likes to be conservative in the styles
selected for her gown and veil she
may wear the veil as shown in the
picture. The wreath Is arranged In
the fashion OF coronet and the veil
envelops the figure. Other STYLES
may come and go, but this one goes
on forever. Perhaps that is because
the wreath suggests crown and be-
cause the arrangement of 1t is almost
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
something new suits her personality
better or is better suited to the sort
OF wedding she elects to have, there
are many piquant and novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. In nearly
all of them little caps of lace support
the tulle, but there are caps of tulle,
caps of pearl beads, or even hats of
tuile, from which the veil, always am
plo floats about the figure. One of
thG prettiest drapes has little close
tittlng cap of fine lace like a Baby
Stuart" cap. The veil is draped over
this so that short length of IL falls
over the face, barely reaching TO the
chin. y Is caught TO the lace can M

OF years that a fence post will last
should be considered in the price paid

be secured, making it much cheaper
in the long run.
If the bark is left on fence post.

The production of thymol from

cial undertaking, according to re-
cent publication of the United States
department of agriculture, Bulletin
372 Thymol, which Is extensively
used In medicine, was formerly i'm
ported from northern Europe where
1t is manufactured from seed grown
In northern India. The European
war, however, has reduced the impor-
tations of this substance from $4,000
pounds in 1914 to little more than
1000 In 1915. To make up this deficit
1t is believed that thymol might be
manufactured from improved horse
mint plants with which the depart
ment Of agriculture has been expert
menting for some time
Horsemint is found wild on light
sandy soils over the entire region
from southern New York to Florida.
and westward to Wisconsin, Kansas
and Texas, and 1t is probable that it
will thrive under cultivation over the
same area. From 20 to 30 pounds of
oil per acre should be obtained from
planting, according to the investiga-
tons of the department, and a little
less than 70 per cent of this oil will
be thymol. The yield of thymol per
acre of horsemint, therefore, is esti-
mated at from little less than 13

ENEMIES OF ALFALFA PLANT
Not Worth While for Farmer To Vast.
Expensive Seed on Sour or
Alkaline Soils.

Sour soil and alkali are enemies of
alfalfa. Most sour soils are sandy
SOILS where the drainage is too good
and the lime has been leached out.
They can be sweetened by adding
ground limestone where this process
is not too expensive and teaching les
sened by incorporating plenty of hui
mus in the soil. This can be done by
applying stable manure or blowing I'M
der green manure in the form of grow
ing crops, etc.
Alkali soils usually are badly drained
and can be corrected by supplying this
factor. 1t is not worth while to waste
alfalfa seed on sour or alkaline soils.
II they cannot be corrected, raise some
other crop.

In meteorological terms a strong

and storm from sc to rs miles. Be-
yond that 1t may be described as a
hurricane. In the convulsion which
destroyed the Tay bridge In December.
1873, the thermometer registered gusts
OF wind which exceeded 100 miles an
hour. The connection between the We
locity and the pressure Of the wind

tainty. but roughly speaking (wind
OF 40 miles) produces a pressure OF
eight pounds to the square foot and 81

eight to ninety pounds to the square
foot.-London Chronicle.

pounds from first year paintings to
little less than 20 pounds for subse-
quent years. The average price OF
thymol for number of years prior to
the European war was about 81 a
pound
The cost Of producing the thymol
Will depend to great measure upon
whether the horsemint Is grown in
connection with other oil-yielding
plants for which a distilling appara-
tus is maintained. Unless this is
done, 1t is said, it is not probable
that the profits will be sufficient to
warrant anyone engaging in the in
dustry. Excluding such items as land
rent, taxes, depreciation, upkeeD and
interest on the distilling plant. 1t is
estimated that thymol can be pro-
duced at an approximate cost of $23
per acre the first year, and $40 per
acre thereafter. These figures include
the growing of the plants, fertiliza-
tion, cultivation, harvesting and dis
tilling. A plantation of horsemint
will not have to be replanted oftener
than once in five y>ars at the most,
and by returning the distilled herb
to the soil, material reduction in
cost of fertilization can be made after
the first year.
Fuller information in regard to
methods of cultivation, harvesting
and distilling are contained in Bull

room and no money to buy the ex.
quisite mahogany enc for which she
yearned. But she had ingenuity and

cents. She painted the legs OF this

denim, placed a fascinating blotter
framed in cretonne and some pretty
brass desk things on it and the desk
was finished. Then she had two book
shelves fastened ON the wall above it.
On these she placed bronze bust of
Dante and some of her favorite vol.
umes, and 10, at trifling expense had
made very pretty and convenient

nifty enterprise, as is done with peas,
potatoes, apples, alfalfa, etc, it is not
wise to depart from it.
Always try just little of anything
new-a quarter acre, half acre, or
even an acre. Give 1t just average
ground-it is better right alongside
the standard crop. Don't baby it.
Make 1t prove its worth, If it has any.
The pleasure of trying out for one

return. Do not make your whole farm

ALFALFA AND WHITE GRUBS

1t is claimed that the corn-root

For this reason alfalfa is considered
