smaller amount of seed sown produced
plants. With land that has been lined
there should be little trouble in getting
good stand of clover. On land that
is sour or has a tendency to an acid
condition the alsike clover will do
much better than the red clover.
Sowing Alfalfa.
A great many times | am asked If
it will not be good thing TO use some
alfalfa seed along with the clover. 1t
will be a good thing from the fact that
you are getting in the habit of grow
ing this splendid crop. However the
idea that many have is to use just a
little alfalfa seed from year to year
until finally they have. the soil inocu-
lated so they can have the field all
alfalfa. This is too slow a method to
be recommended as a way to get mo
culation when you can get inoculating
material by dropping the Department
of Agriculture a card about the
amour of seed you will sow, the acre
age. and the date you will want the
incubation. This saves several years
of slow and uncertain work in prepar-
ing for alfalfa.
Renewing Rhubarb Beds.
The rhubarb bed that has stood for
number of years in the same place
should be taken up and the clumps cut
into pieces with at least two eyes
Sometimes one good eye is sufficient,
but two eyes are to be preferred. They
should then be replanted on the same
ground but the soil should be well pre-
pared ard thoroughly enriched at this
time. Rhubarb beds become root
bound and the soil becomes so full of
roots that there is no room left for
feeding. Therefore, replanting is the
only remedy for continued supply Of
rhubarb.
For Improving Corn.
You can improve your corn by Sc
Letting some of the choicest ears.
These should be tested carefully by
taking a half dozen kernels from each
ear and testing them to see if they will
grow. All weak or moldy ears should
be discarded The corn selected in this
manner should be planted to one side
of the field or on separate plot.
Choose well-shaped ears that are
we'll filled out at the butts and tips,
and with special attention to the
straight, regular. solidly set rows Of
kernels. Some ears have only 10 and
II rows of corn, while others have 10
and 20. Cultivate the corn shallow
after the first cultivation. The best
yield may be secured by cultivating
every ten days during the growing
season and as soon after every heavy
rain as it is possible to get the ground
to work up well.
Do not grow corn on the same land
year after year, but follow carefully
planned system of rotation of crops.

Advice For Sowing Clover
Also Hints For Replanting Rhubarb
And Selecting Seed Corn.

The unusually high price Of clover
seed this spring will raise the question
in the minds of many as to the wisdom
of sowing it. Perhaps even now some
have decided not to SOW any this
spring. Where conditions are favor
able or can be made so the price of the
seed should not prevent one from
sowing it. The loss Of one clover crop
in the rotation can never be recon-
pensed. The field will forever remain
poorer for missing clover crop, and
it is expensive to get a substitute for
clover hay in the feeding of live stock.
However important clover is to both
the soil and the stock. there are many
places in this county where the clover
seed will be largely wasted. because
the seed will not be properly covered.
1t will pay we'll to spend little extra
time and labor to cover the seed well.
Better success in seeding will be
secured where the land is prepared
with a light harrow or Weeder than
without any preparation to help cover
the seed. OF course, the ideal method
now is with the small disc drills that
are made especially for this purpose.
About half the usual amount of seed
in many cases has secured better re-
suits than by the older methods of
seeding. Seed sown upon top of the
ground has a slight chance of grow
ing. Even if it terminates large
proportion of the plants will die dur
ing the dry weather of a normal
spring. This makes it necessary to
use every precaution TO get the seed
covered. Upon soils that do not
ho?eycomb in freezing the only safe
method is to cover the seed by harrow
ing. and to make this successful it
must be done when the ground is m
lust the right condition to crumble
readily under the harrow. In order
that the wheat may not be injured the
narrowing should also be delayed un
til it has become well rooted. Upon
some character of soils it NAV be bet
Ster to scarify the surface both before
hnd after sowing, or a puIveriZer may
Ibe used to press the seed into the
kround.
Date OF Sowing.
1.-THE date for sowing clover seed IS
(not an important consideration. AS a
matter of fact, early seeding may sue
coed one year and the late seeding do
better another year The weather con-
ditions following are of far more irl-
portance than the date 1t is quite
probable that clover is killed five times

Anlants are small. The very best safe
guard for good stand of clover this
ear is to get the seed well covered.

Chief Executive of the United States

his own roof, by being an unheralded
guest at more than one function at
foreign embassy or legation.

One of our favorite French actresses
is trying to make the "Polaire head
Dress popular again, but this style is
too remarkable for the taste of refined
women. AT the same time the effect of
short curled hair is, as have just said,
in favor. In Paris they are making
lovely bands for the hair of seed pearls
intermingled with scroll work OF
silver fligree.
I have also seen plaques of silver
filigree fastened to bands of turquoise
blue velvet, to form hair ornament.
The style of headdress which we have
decided to call ''the headache band' is
again creeping into favor. These bands
are really very pretty when correctly
arranged and when they are not too
large. But it is not every woman, or
girl, who knows how to arrange band
of this genre effectively. It is not
enough to pass length of ribbon
round the head and tie it-just any
where.
