MODERN "CARMEN" AT WORK

The Carmen of the opera is no idle
fancy OF a poet. She was and is very
real in Spain today. They are known
as cigarreras, and their age may be
anything from twelve to sixty. They
are paid but a peseta a day, and as
no human being can live on that, they
devote a good share of their time to a
business said to be the Oldest in the
world. 1t is no uncommon thing to
find as high as so babies in cradles
or crawling about the feet of the
girls as they work. For comfort the
girls discard the greater part of
their clothing when they start to work.

or great silver earrings.
They are boisterous and rough, and
the visitor is hailed with demands
for money and given the vilest of
curses If he refuses. But the girls
sing as they work. Every one has a
tiny mirror before her in which she
sends constant chances, and the little
clothing she retains is colorful as the
rainbow. They all have lovers who
almost without exception abuse them,
beat them and take away their earn
ings. She stands this as long as the
lover is true to her, but If he looks
elsewhere he had best beware of a sti-
letto blade between his shoulders. The

LITTLE time NEEDED
TO KEEP LABOR DATA
Records Often Are Means of
Saving Working Costs.
Farmer Enabled to Determine Num-
Der of Days of Man and Horse
Power Necessary to Produce
an Acre of Any Crop.

A record kept of farm labor does
not require much time, yet it is often
the means of saving labor costs. The
labor records show just how much
labor team work is required on
each crop and the time In the season
when it is used. They should show
what proportion of the labor is de-
voted to work that produces an in
come and the amount that is consumed
on odd jobs Of unproductive tasks.
This will enable the farmer to de-
termine the number of days of man
and horse labor necessary to produce
an acre of any crop. or the care of
any class of animals for a year says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Thus he may be able to re-
arrange his system of management
so that he can get along with less
labor and at the same time maintain
production
A years labor records show also
just how much man power and horse
power is necessary to run the entire
farm at different seasons. and point
out accurately just when the rush sea
sons occur. With such records before
him, the farmer knows approximately
what his labor requirements will be
in advance of the rush season. He
is able to increase or decrease the
different farm enterprises and fit them
together until he has outlined a COM
plete years work with an ever load
of labor for the entire season.

GROWTH INFLUENCED By RAIN
Observations OF Travellers Show Re
markable Difference in Vegeta-
ton of Tropical Forests.

Tropical forests are divided by Ham
into those having months of less thar
six rainy days and those having no dry
season proper. Those with no dry
season are constantly humid, although
the varying seasonal moisture has it's
influence even here. U~ndiSturbed con-
stantly humid regions are nearly al
ways covered with evergreen rain for
est; periodically dry districts are oc-
cupied by deciduous woodland and
savannah. With every slight annual
precipitation the vegetation becomes
that of the desert. Seen on approach
ing, a tropical rain forest shows a
much more irregular and jagged sky
line than the temperate forest, and it's
varied shades of green are usually
dull, but often broken by white, red or
other britliant-hued towering tree
The tree tops, moreover, are
often overhung by climbing vines and
parasitic plants. The interior of some
rain forests is asfdense mass of tangled
foliage from the ground up to the tree
tops, but others are like immense dark
columned halls which afford a free pas
sage and a clear outlook. with only a
few ferns on the ground and tree stems,

While timothy and red clover un-
doubtedly are the best hay crops on
good soils in the northeastern quarter
Of the United States, they should by
no means be depended on to produce
maximum yields of soils. Other hay
crops are better suited and are more
dependable in some cases and under
particular soil conditions. Alsike clo-
yer, for example, is better adapted to
sour and moist soils than common red
clover, and the two mixed together and
seeded on some uplandS often insures
a crop where the latter seeded alone
would fail. Redtop is the best wet
land grass and On such land a mixture
Of red-top meadow fescue, and alsike
clover usually gives, good returns.
While no hay grasses can be depend
ed upon to make a commercial crop on
poor land, redtop, orchard grass, and
tail oats-grass are better than any
others. These are facts discussed in
detail in Farmers Bulletin No. ITO,

There is little difference Of opinion
as to the plants to be seeded on rich
well-drained land. Timothy is seeded
alone if the hay is to be sold on the
llarket, and timothy and clover, often
mixed with redtop, where part or all
of the hay is utilized on the farm.
Some of the advantages of these plants
are that they have good seed habits,
respectfully timothy and redtop. Red
fclover is a deep-rooted legume, and
has a beneficial effect on succeeding
icrops.
Timothy is considered by feeders
the best hay for horses, and clover,
for clover and timothy mixed produce
better yields n are excellent for cat
tile and sheep. The comparatively long
period during which these plants may
be left standing without serious de-
:terioration before cutting, together
with the fact thar the time of their
maturity interferes little with the mar
:vesting of.the cereals and other farm
work, have much to do with their pop
>ularity.
The most serious objection to the
red clover and timothy mixture is due
to the difference in time of their ma
;turity, the former usually being ready
to cut two weeks before the latter.
For this reason mammoth clover, a va
lriety of the common red, which is
somewhat later in maturing, is some
times substituted for red clover in the
seed mixture.
There are many soils along the
southern border Of the area under dis
'cussion which will give a larger hay
yield if seeded to orchard grass, tall
.oats-grass, and alsike clover than il
seeded to timothy, redtop and red clo-
yer. These soils are usually poor in
organic matter and are inclined to
be sour. 1t is important that this
mixture be cut when the plants first
head out, for If harvesting is delayed
they will make a tough, less palatable
'ahay. This is especially true of or
chard grass. If cut early, however,
this hay viii be relished by all classes
of live stock. For general use in the
localities referred to. the bulletin
recommends the following mixture:
Orchard grass. IA pounds; tall oats

Cultivated Rose Is ENGLISH.

In many countries some flower is
taken as the national emblem. The
French claim the f1eur de lis, the
Scotch the thistle, and the waffle be-
longs entirely to Australia; the maple
leaf is the national emblem of Canada,
as the fern leaf is of New Zealand.
But the most familiar of all is per-
haps the red EOS of England. Every
one has heard of the Wars of the
Roses. There is no more typicaFly
English flower than the rose; and yet
most English roses have come from
China or from the East. The cult
waited rose, however, in it's hundreds
of varieties-bush roses. climbing,
scrambling. rambling roses, dwarf
roses--is typically Enalish-

isfactory, but when it is necessary
this mixture gives best results. In
some places in the Middle West sweet
clover has given good results under un-
promising soil conditions. Accord
ing to the bulletin, no perennial
hay plants will produce we'll on poor,
sandy soil. Under such soil condi-
tions, however, some temporary crop,
such as rye or oats and peas, and,
along the Atlantic coast, early sor-
ghum and cowpeas, are preferable to
perennial hay crops.
The best temporary hay plants are
the small grains seeded either alone
or in mixture with sorne legume, such
as peas, vetch or crimson clover. Mil
let's are sometimes used for this pur-
pose, as are sudan grass and coarse
forage, such as corn and sorghum. In
the northern states a combination OF
oats and Canada field peas makes a
very good hay crop. Excellent results
have been obtained in eastern Mary
land and Virginia with the following
mixture: Oats, 1 bushel; hairy vetch,
30 pounds; white-bloosning crimson clio
yer, 10 pounds per acre.
In order to avoid losing the use of
land for an entire season, and to per-
NIT late-summer and ~early-fall seed
ing, grass crops usually follow small
grains. The seeded should be pre-
pared as soon as possible after the
grain is harvested. AS a three-inch
mellow seeded with firm soil beneath
will give better results for summer
seeding than one that is deeper, the
disk harrow is usually used in place
of the pillow for preparing land for
grass. Most grass seeds are very
small and must have a fine, mellow,
well pulverized surface soil in order
that the seeding may become estab-
lished. A good seeded may meal the
difference between the success and
failure of the hay cop.
Use Too Little Seed.
Most farmers use too little grass
seed for best results, according to the
bulletin. Rich land with a well-pre-
pared seeded does not require as
much seed as thin land or land poorly
fitted. From 20 to 80 pounds of seed
per acre are generally sufficient, and
this rate is usually more profitable
than lighter seedlings of mixtures.
,Small-seeded grasses, such as red-top
and timothy, do not require so heavy a
seeding as orchard grass or rye grass.
Usually 10 pounds of timothy or 6
pounds Of redtop are sufficient when
these are seeded alone.
In order that the seed may get a
good start, it Is frequently advisable
to apply some readily available fer
tilizer. Formerly the grain crop re-
ceiyed the fertilizer, but experiments
have demonstrated that when it is ap-
piled to the grass twill not only in

quent1y show beneficial effects on sue
ceeding crops for tive or three years.
Top dressings of suitable anu will
increase the yield of hay, and there
is probably no better crop than grass
on which to apply it. A great deal
of grass and clover seed is wasted
every year from seeding On o or
acid soils. Applications of lime cor
rect this condition, and should be made
particularly where tegames are to
be grown.

1t is not likely that any real

Those who are ready to support
the Yankees, of course, place
greatest reliance on Babe Ruth

clubs with heavy hitters always
raise hob with the Giants How
ever. even with Ruth and Bob. the
betting should be no better than
even money. There are many fol-

the Giants should be the favorites,
but even they will give no odds.
There is no real reason for the
giving of odds by either side.
Pitching, naturally, will be the
decisive factor in the series, and
