BEST FLOWING FOR ALFALFA
Deep Filling Has Been Deciding
Factor Between Success and Fail

A word should be said as TO the
depth of blowing. The corn or potato
ground Is merely disked and narrowed
before sowing the alfalfa. Before
planting the preliminary crop the
blowing should be we'll done to good
depth. In many cases deep tilling ma

advantage. Where comparisons have
been possible, in certain instances,
deep filling has evidently been the de-
Gliding factor between success and fail

amined the alfalfa plants growing I'M
der the two conditions with some care,
It is quite sure that the outstanding
features would be the difference in

COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME

Old Father Adam.

We all "have it in" for Adam for

though we may not know it, bear a
particular resemblance to this COM

of our Paradise a cold, bare world. 1t
is Adam who inflicted upon us this adj

progenitor took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest Of us TO exist
ence by the sweat of our brows,
piece of the fruit is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
in his children's children unto the nth

New Wireless Distress Cal.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships in distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system of COM
munication requires that an operator
to hear a call must be on duty, wear
ing the usual telephone headplece.
The new device is said to enable any,
station or ship equipped with a spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
up any station or ship within range,
fitted with a corresponding receiver re-
lay, even il the operator is absent
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, Is effected by bell
which starts ringing on the ships
called.
1t is claimed that one Of the most
important uses of the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at
tention to S. o. S. calls.

The New Framing for Pictures.

There should be a whole new volume
written on the subject of the new art
of picture framing Perhaps there
has been. But many persons who
have excellent taste in furniture and
hangings. and even in pictures them
selves, are still clinging to the old
| methods of framir which were in
vogue twenty-five years or more ago.
To begin with, frames are much
simpler. The heavy, deeply convoluted
! gilt frame. ornate with scrolls and
bumps and curlycueS. is as hopelessly
out of date and out of taste a
hustle. Go through the modern gat
leries of paintings and see how great
a change there has been in framing.
Plain. fat frames or frames which
have only little depth, showing only
| slight decoration. have almost entire
/ ly superseded the gnarly gold frame
| Of yore. In many cases the prevailing
! tone of the painting is carried out in
the frame-the gold is tinged with
green or the frame is a gray silver.
A frame of simple. beautiful lines is
known as the "Whistler' frame. made
with three or four parallel grooves on
a slightly rounded moldinE. III comes
in a number of widths. from an inch
or so to four or five inches.

of unfinished wood as "A framing for
