cutting, the stems become woody, and
the yield of the next crop is greatly
reduced, and in addition the leaves,
which are the most valuable part Of
the plant, fall off.
Equal to Wheat Bran.
The alfalfa should be raked and
either put in the barn, or If 1t is not
sufficiently dry, put into haycocks. II
is a matter of economy to have two
or three hundred hay caps (made OF
six-cent muslin one yard square) to
use in case of bad weather. You may
think this is considerable bother, but
there is no use in growing alfalfa and
then allowing it to spoil.
When we remember that good al
falfa brings us in actual results nearly
as great returns as wheat bran, we
can better realize the importance Of
taking care Of it. If any of us had 5OO
"haycocks Of bran" in the field, we
would take care of them, but with al
falfa we think Of 1t as "jUst hay"
Alfalfa hay is rather hard to cure,
but 1t is also true that it can be placed
in the barn or in stacks much greener
than any other kind of hay. Twenty
pounds Of salt sprinkled over each load
Of hay will help to prevent heating
and add to the palatability Of the hay.
Where alfalfa is used for pasture,
care should be taken to avoid pastur-
ing 1t too closely; 1t should not be pas
tured down closer than six inches and
be sure to leave eight to twelve inches
for winter protection. Don't turn
stock on too early In the spring.
Alfalfa on Every Farm.
Remember that alfalfa can be
grown on your farm. 1t is no more
difficult to grow than clover and is
more hardy when once established.
1t adapts itself to all kinds and con-
ditions of soil and climate. Alfalfa
produces three and sometimes four
crops per year in the corn belt.
Alfalfa is the cheapest source Of pro-
teln. When wheat bran is worth $22
per ton, good alfalfa hay is worth $50
to 500 per ton.
Alfalfa is the most enriching crop
we have, and insures larger yields
from the crops that follow.

Governor Home From Florida.

Gov. and Mrs. Tom C. Rye have re-
turned from Florida. The governors
recess has been of benefit to him, and
he entered upon the discharge OF his
official duties with renewed vigor. He
says Florida experienced some unusu-
ally cold weather during his stay in
the state, and that the frost wrought
much damage to early vegetables. He
talked with the owners of several Or
ange groves and was informed by
them that while the freeze pruned
many of the trees, it did not kill them
and that they will probably be all the
better for the trimming The COVER
nor thinks the flowers suffered the
greater damage, as he saw very few
blooms at Tampa and st. Petersburg.

NashVille.-The Murfreesboro board
Of trade played host at a largely at
tended meeting when resolutions were
adopted disappearing in strong terms
certain bills pending before the legis-
lature affecting the public and normal
schools Of the state; favoring the pres
ent law providing one-third of the
gross revenues for school purposes
and urging that the same stand as it
is, and also fayoring the plan recently
announced providing for the state to
issue school bonds sufficient to supply
the immediate needs to enlarge their
present facilities, said institutions to-
pay the interest on said bonds.
President r. L. Jones of the Middle
Tennessee state normal made a stir
ring speech, setting forth the plan in
detail as well as the great needs Of
the various institutions for increased
facilities. Many leading citizens made
speeches pledging cooperation, and
the most conservative business men in
the community endorse the plan and
regard it entirely practical in every
way.
A large part of the legislature visit
ed Murfreesboro. Many prominent cit
liens and public officials of the state
also attended. Committees on pro,
gram, banquet, transportation, enter
tainment and reception We'd with each
other to make the day a day of pleas

Rutherford county's representative in
the legislature, was chairman of the
reception committee.
A meeting was held at the normal
school, at which brief speeches were
made by citizens, solons and promi-

were provided for extended drives over
the country, and the visitors were
shown some of the most beautiful
glimpses Of Rutherford county's farm
ing sections.

Grain lie Said To Be Damaged.

Reports reaching the department OF
agriculture from the wheat growing
sections Of the state indicate that
much damage has been done the grow
ing grain. Commissioner Bryson has
sent out inquiries to all correspond
ents in wheat growing counties in the
state, asking for an estimate of the
damage.
From parts of Middle Tennessee re-
ports have it that the crop has been
killed down to the roots, while in 9TH
er parts it is not believed the roots
have suffered. The weather since last
December has been one freeze after
another in practically all parts of the
state. While it all along has been
feared there would be some injury, the
reports now coming in show that the
damage is widespread. Some OF the
earliest sown wheat is reported to be
in fairly good condition and with a
milder turn will yet make a good crop.
In some sections report has it that
some Of the discouraged farmers are
preparing to plant corn where they
had planted wheat a few monts ago.

incubation never hurts, is generally
beneficial and often essential to the
growing of alfalfa.
In regions where alfalfa has not
been grown it is frequently found to
be very beneficial to inoculate the
ground by sowing three or four hun
dred pounds of soil secured from field
where alfalfa has been grown for q
number of years or where it is more
convenient, artificial cultures such as
nitrogen, farmogerm, etc, may be APP
piled.
Well Prepared Seed Bed.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed broadcast and narrowed in. The
seed can be more evenly distributed if
one-half is sown in one direction and
the other half sown at right angles. 1t
is always good plan to SOW the seed
a little thicker around the edges Of
the field, as this portion Of the field Is
more subject to injury from insects,
foxtail, etc.
While it Is the custom In the humid
regions to SOW 20 pounds Of seed to
the acre, ten to twelve pounds is sutfi-
Client. If evenly distributed this will
give from fifty to sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant to
the square foot is sufficient.
A well-prepared, firm, solid seeded,
plenty of good barnyard manure, and
summer fallow to kill the weeds, are
most important. Then comes lime.
Inoculation and phosphorus are fire.

for corn Is not suited to alfalfa.
Cut at Proper Time.
When possible to do so 1t is best to
cut alfalfa in the late afternoon or
evening Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. In the
morning the tedder should be started
as soon as most of the dew Is off and
before there is any danger of knocking
off the leaves. 1t is often advisable to go
over it more than once 1t should be
cut before it is in full bloom or as

Considering BIouses for Spring

If you have considered blouses for
the coming spring you already know
that feminine allegiance is divided be-
tween the skirted blouse and our older
friend that merely reaches to the waist
line. The skirted blouse, appearing
first with a short peplum, has met
with an enthusiastic welcome, and
now we have the Russian blouse, In
many developments, the chemise blouse,
and many overblouses, all covering
half the length Of the figure. But the
practical blouse-the shirtwaist of 9TH
err days (modified for the house)-
goes serenely on its way, which leads
It into every wardrobe.
Blouses of today, If well made, are
higher priced than they were. mex
pensive ones are attractively designed
but poorly made, and the woman OF
refined taste must either reconcile her
self to paying higher prices or make
her blouses at home; she cannot
reconcile herself to the poor work on
the cheaper ready-made articles.
Two new models are shown in the
picture. One is of yellow organdie,
finished at the edges with black in
machine-made buttonhole stitching. AS
in the majority of new models, the
hack and front are set on to straight
shoulderpieces. There are two small
rockets to relieve the plainness of the
otherwise unadorned fronts.
The white blouse is of India lawn
trimmed with val lace and edging.
Small tueEs and tiny pearl buttons
give 1t very tasteful finish. the sleeves
are long, and these models may be ac-

FIGHTING GETTING NOW
 MORE LIVELY IN EUROPE

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Fighting in the Somme sector is severe Although cold and driZzling rain alternated yesterday with sleet showers mak- ing movements somewhat difficult, both the French and the British advanced their lines following a series of raids in the direction of the Ancre strongholds of the Ger man defense lines. However owing to the expectation that for many weeks yet weather conditions will preclude any serious offensive, it is not believed that very extensive operations will follow these attacks The German offensive in the Nosges is succeeded by a lull.
 Papers are still specuiating on the meaning of the German concentra tien in Lorraine.

LOCAL ITEMS.

Dr. Neuman received a letter from D. Jennes, the young English ethno
 logist with the Dr. Anderson sec tion of the Stefannson expedition. He enclosed a fine series of pictures of the natives in Victoria Land and these are very interesting showing a type so distinct from the local Eskimo that the divergence would almost appear to be more than mo- di(ication of the same race. Almost all present among the males a pecu- liarly bulbous nose almost as marked as the cartoonists's carica- ture of the Hebrew. By the way, it may not be known that Dr. Neuman is making an especial study of the ethnology of the Eskimo, and his theory is quite distinct from that commonly accepted. The most generally accepted theory is that the race came from Siberia or from west to the east. Many facts have com pelled Dr. Neuman to differ with this view. One of the simplest yet most striking is that the natives here and in the Canadian Arctic had no knowledge whatever of reindeer. Their word for this animal is ot very recent introduction signlfying the "deer that lives with men,. Had the natives come from Russia and Siberia they would have been ia miliar with reindeer and probably brought them with them in their migrations. Dr. Neuman believes that the natives came from Green land across BafTin Bay over Arctic Canada to Alaska, and thence across into the extreme eastern section ot Siberia. Interesting facts oi more scientific nature have also sup ported the doctors theory
