If the bride is one of those who
likes to be conservative in the styles
selected for hi. gown and veil she
NAV wear the veil as shown in the
picture. The wreath is arranged in
the f, ShiOr Of cOrOnet and the veil
enyelops the figure. Other styles
may come and go, but this one goes
on forever Perhaps that is because
the wreath suggests crown and be
causc the arrangement of it is almost
universally becoming.
For the bride who decides that
something new suits her personality

of wedding she elects to have. there
are many pi9uant and novel ways for
mounting the wedding veil. in nearly

SALT USED AS A FERTILIZER
Results Of Experiments Noted in Re-
port Received by Department
of Agriculture.

Fertilizer experiments with beets
and turnips on a variety Of soils to
determine the extent to which com.
mon salt may be used as a substitute
Tor potash are noted in Il report ~
Gently received by the department az
agriculture. Common salt was suses
ut the rate Of 425 pounds per acre aus'
81 per cent potash salt ut the rate
Of 175 pounds per acre.
The two salts gave practically the
same results with sugar bcetS, al.
though neither materially increased
the yield. Turnips showed smaller
potash requirement than sugar beets.
Where common salt was used in q
complete fertilizer mixture, increases
In crop yields were obtained. The
conclusion Is reached that 81 per cent
potash salts may Often>be replaced by
common salt for fodder roots, beets
especially. 1T is also concluded that
Increased yields produced by additions
Of potash salts are not due solely to
the fact that potassium is an essential
nutritiye element.

FOWLS RELISH EARTHWORMS
Excellent Plan to turn Over Some

BENEFITS OF DRAINED SOILS
Deeper FEEDING Ground Offered for
PIants-increase in Crop Yield
May Be Expected.

A drained soil offers q deeper feed
ing ground for the plants. The roots
of most cultivated crops will not go
into saturated soil and will die If kept
under water without air for more than
q short time. The root zone is then,
not the depth above the point OF per-
manent saturatiOn, but only that soil
into which the fluctuating water-table
does not rise except for periods too
short to injure the plants seriously
Drainage tends to increase this depth
to that Of the drains, thus making u
greater quantity Of food available.
Hence, an increase in crop yield may
ordinarily be expected from the drain
age of such land already under cult
walton.

else by jumping after it, but our ex-
pcrience is that when fed moderate
amount of clover or ground alfalfa
they have no taste for any other kind
Of green food.
Nothing equals cut clover for feed
ing the chickens. Alfalfa comes next.
but clover stands ut the head and il
this is fed regularly and in moderate
quantities it will take the place of
all other green feeds.
Wet versus dry mash is n question
that has received much attention from
experimenters during the past few
years. The general consensus OF
opinion ut the present time is that the
dry mash is the most desirable. Many
practical poultrymen, however, still
prefer the wet mash. Labor IS one of
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, IT
he can find method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, 1t Is
worthy of consideration. Dry mash
fed in hOppcrs is easier to handle than
any kind OF wet mash. HOppcrs are
now made which are rat-prOOf, sani-
tary and convenient. These can be
filed once week and are found sat
isfactOry. Experiments have proved
that eggs produced by hens fed dry
mash are more fertile than those laid
by hens fed wet mash. Wet mash Is
slightly more forcing, Is incOnvcnient
to feed, and requires more care In
keeping the feeding vessels clean.

No Other Piece Of Farm Machinery

Probably no other line Of agricul-
