there is anything they can do

Most Of them seem to think that per-

the size OF their lips.
Yet a beautiful mouth is much more
apt TO be a large than q small one.
small mouth lacks character. as
a general thing, a cupid's bow mouth
almost always lacks intelligence. On
the other hand, a large mouth ex-
presses sympa thy, and gives a friend

perfect rosebud Of a mouth could pos
sibly give
Thick lips are not pretty. but lips
that are too thin show a lack Of gen.
crosby and understanding. Before
you start to worry over your mouth
examine it closely for its character,
rather than its shape.
Now. as to improving its shape
The first thing to do is TO watch the
way you hold your mouth If YOU

Different Methods of Seeding
Alfalfa

There are several ways in which
the farmers i'm different sections go
, about it to start the growing OF this
|. most valuable of all forage crops.
These are governed very largely by
their location with reference to the
lime content of the soils. The more
deficient a soil is in lime the more
difficult 1t is to secure satisfactory
stand. We might also add that the
greater need there is for drainage the
more difficult it is to secure perman-
ent stand of alfalfa.
Other factors are also of consider
able Importance, for alfalfa appreci-
ates a soil comparatively free from
foul seeds, and with plenty of organic
matter or humus. Where we have
limestone soils or those in which linn
ing is Of lesser Importance, it is far
easier to secure good stand OF alfal-
ia.
In such sections we find that usu-
ally the seeding is done in the Spring
with either oats or barley, preferably
the latter, because barley is not so
heavy feeder on the soil as oats, it
is not quite so long in maturing, and
consequently the alfalfa has a better
chance to start. In either case, how
ever, the preparation of the soil
|skould be more than usually thorough,
having as fine a seed bed as possible,
and as above stated the land must be
drained either naturally or artifcially.
At seeding time the oats or barley
should be sown very thin as nurse
crop primarily, the yield of grain be-
ing of secondary Importance, so we
will not put in over one and quarter
or one and one-half bushels of seed
per acre. This will protect the young
plants from the scorching sun, and
the winds, and we get quite respect
