come better acquainted with you. Don't
presume every polite single man wants
to marry. Don't try to make lover
out of man when it is plainly to be
seen that he wants to be on friendly
terms with you, nothing more. Don't
send scouts out to see how much he
is worth if he happens to call at your

your cap for him unless you have the
knowledge that he is heartwhole and
fancy free and is looking about for a
girl to fall in love with and we'd"
Even then the cap should be adroitly
set and without being apparent. 1t is
always the girl who does not show eX-
traordinary interest in man who
arouses his interest and awakens his
appreciation.
The same holds good in regard to
widowers, as they fall under The head
of unmarried men. Girls think they
set their cap SO cleverly for man that
he does not know of it. They may fool
one OF the young men unS0phlSucated
in the ways of women, bat they can
never fool widOwer. He is up to all
their little articles and feminine tricks
to capture his heart. The man who
falls in love deeply enough will al
ways marry. He does not have to be
angled for. The girl he likes cannot
dodge from him, no matter how hard
she may try.
A manageable man always knows
what kind of women appeal to him. 1t
is seldom, if ever, that he selects his
bride from those who have set their
caps for him. Girls should appreciate
mans friendship, not expecting ev-

ALFALFA SEED SUPPLY
Turkestan Variety Imported to
Help Out Domestic Stock.
Not We'll Adapted for General Use in
United States and Particularly Un-
desirable for Eastern Humid
Sections.

IRON the United States Department of
AgricultureD
During The fiscal years ended June
so, 1913, 1914 and 1918, approximately
six million. five million, and seven mil
lion pounds, respectively, of alfalfa
seed we're imported, while during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1916, less
than three and One-fOurth million
pounds were imported.
For several years Russian Turkestan
has been the only country having
large surplus of seed available for in
ternational trade, but the supply of
seed from this source has been prac-
tically shut off since the beginning of
the European war, until the past Win
ter. when shipments were begun by
the way of the trans-Siberian railway,
NIadivostok. and-jhe Pacific ocean. OF
the seed imported into the United
States since July l, 1913, more than
half has been from Russian Turkestan,
and no doubt more of this seed will be
brought in as transportation can be
arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
wear. together with the decreased i'm
ports, have resulted in Il marked in
crease in the price of seed over that
of wear ago. The lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year must be
made up by importation. and this will
necessarily be largely TurkeStan seed
It is known that TurkeStan seed is not
we'll adapted for general use in the
United States and that ii is particu-
larry undesirable for use in the eastern
humid sections. on the basis of its
relative crOp-producing capacity, the
price of TurkeStan seed should be low
er than that of domestic seed, and pur-
chaSerS should know when they are
buying TurkeStan seed Conditions
may often be such that only TurkeStan
seed can be obtained nj the time and
place where seed is wanted. but in ev.
cry instance the purchaser should
know whether he is getting TurkeStar
seed or not.
TurkeStan seed can be distinguished
from other alfalfa seed by the pres
ence of certain Characteristic weed
seeds. These seeds are usually not
numerous, but no importation of com
merCial TurkeStau seed has been ex
aminei by the seed laboratory of the
department in which they were not
present. On account Of these charac

No matter how saving a disposition
a man may have, if he has wife who
cannot withstand the temptation. to
crave everything she sees and run in
debt for the purpose of gaining it,. his
marital happiness and hope of accu-
mulating is builded on the sand.
If the husband is known to. have q
prosperous business or employment,
there are plenty of people only too
anxious to crafty her taste, urging her
to take the goods she Graves, paying
for them when she feels disposed to
do so. Such concessions flatter the
average foolish woman. EXtravagances
are entered into, but she is unpre-
pared to find the bill sent in promptly
the first of the following month. She
has bought velvet dress pattern in
July because the merchant told her it
was the greatest kind of Il bargain, and
that it would be worth twice as much
as she had paid for it when fall came.
Another merchant sold her a fur coat
and another 4 costly rug.
OF course her tears have softening
effect on her husbands anger when the
bills are presented to him. He had
been saving every dime to meet the
interest due on the mortgage on their
little home. She had forgotten all
about the interest falling due so soon.
No sooner is one debt off his hands
than his thOughtless wife contracts am
other. The wealthy neighbor across
the way had recommended her to an
agent who was selling music boxes He
talked so smoothly and really he want
ed so very little money down that she
thought it wouldn't be amiss to own a
music box and let the neighbors across
the way see that she, too, could have
such luXuries. Within fortnight the
balance of the bill for the $500 was
showed under the nose of the eXasper-
ated husband. If he gives So to buy
a lawn dress, she cannot help the inn
pulse that caused her to. run in debt
ten more for a jacket, and as much
for hat. And then there were shoes
she couldn't have one article of her
There's no use in talking, the woman
with tile bargain-counter mania or the
debt habit will beggar the most pru-
dent of husbands in the long run. If
expoStulating does no good even the
most loving of men might be pardoned
for laying down the law Sternly and
decisively to his erring mate.
II the husband is spendthrift,
that is bad enough. When the wife
is a spendthrift, all hope of prosper
ity may as well be abandoned at once
unless they have Il heart-tO-heart talk
with each other and the wife agrees to
consult her husband when she is tempt
ed to buy something she does not need
and abide by his judgment. If money
burns hole in the wife's pocket and
her chief happiness is in spending it,
her allowance should not be 50 gen
erous. A saving wife is a jewel in the
home.

butter. 1t can be,obtained from firms
handling dairy supplies. The ordinary
waxed paper commonly used for wrap
ping lunches should not be used for
wrapping butter, as it tears easily and
sticks to the butter.
The placing of the wrapped print
of butter in pastebOard boxes or car
tons protects the butter from finger
prints, dust. and dirt. Paraftined car
tons are preferable because they do
not absorb water and because they
form stronger and tighter package.
The trademark or butter-maker' S
name on the carton serves as an adj
vertisement. Cartons bearing any de-
sired design or printing can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from firms ham
ding dairy supplies.
The appearance of the package of
butter determines its selling price to
a considerable extent, and every effort
should be made to have it as neat, at
tractive, and convenient to handle as
possible. The square print neatly
wrapped shows at glance its advan-
tages over the semirOund print which is
exposed to flies dust, and other con-
Eliminating things. Even if the semi
round print is wrapped in parchment
paper it is impossible for it to make
an attractive appearance. Compare
such q print with Il pound of butter
wrapped and placed in a carton. If
you were a purchaser, which would
you prefer?
Washing the Churn.
In washing the churn. it should first
be rinsed with lukewarm or cold wa
ter and then scrubbed with a fiber
brush. cleansing powder, and hot wa
ter, then scalded, and set in a clean,
sunny place to drain and dry. In
washing the churning utensils a fiber
brush is much more effective than the
ordinary dishrag. The brushes can be
obtained at small cost from hardware
stores or from dealers in dairy sup
plies. Some washing powder, such as
sal soda, is much better for cleansing
churns than soaps or soap powders.
