SEED MIXTURES ARE COSTLY
Much Advertised clover-Timothy Con-
tain Very Little of Former-Of
Little Value.


So-called clover-timothy seed mix.
lures, which are widely advertised
by certain seed firms at what may
appear to be attractive prices, often
contain so little alsike or red clover
that they are of little, if any, more
value than timothy seed, but actually
cost nearly double the market price
Of that seed, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These mixtures are usually
offered by the bushel, followed by the
qualifying statement that a bushel
eighs only 45 pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered
as clover and timothy with the claim
that the different seeds occur in the
proper proportions for seeding, while
frequently there is not more than 5
or per cent of clover Cresent-not
enough TO be of any value in the crop.
Persons who buy mixed seed can
not be too careful to learn the exact
proportion of the mixtures they get
and the quality of the seed composing
them. Otherwise, they are likely 10

The creature held his, arms over his
chest as though to hide the black
patch and as though he had made a
great mistake not to hide it in the
first place. He seemed quite
fiustered.
''They fell asleep, those two you
left" said the creature, because they
couldn't keep awake any longer. They
never can accomplish anything all the
way through. They always have to
stop before it is over. This time it
was lucky for you. They're not full
of harm, nor do they mean to be
cross and all of that. They just go
along trying everything and leaving it
before it is finished

you away in trunk but they wouldn't

had never had the patience to keep

THE ESCAPE.

It had been a bad time for the boy
and the girl adventures when they
thought that they might be carried
away in Mr. Moving Mans trunk.
"Why do you want to put US jim the
trunk?" the girl had asked.
1--WE might find you could sell for
good deal at the market" the old
man had said.
"Well, won't you go in that way,
please?' the boy had asked, pointing
in the direction Of the Hospitality
Hotel.

He hates that way" Miss Rolling
Stone, or Mrs Moving Man had said.
She could be called by both names
correctly.
Hes mad, you see, because he
didn't get to the House of Secrets.
He doesn't want any one else to get
there. He didn't want the long
journey there"

didn't know what to do. They were

again so they could go on to the

the boy. II believe it's almost time"
"Oh." said the girl suddenly, then
she added very softly, "Pm free. Miss

to snore.
They hurried down the road, run

well out of sight of the old man and

DIvERSIFICATlON is
HELP TO ENTERPRISE
Lessons Risk of Loss From Crop
Failures.
Promotes Better Utilization of varl-
Gus Equipment and Permits Ro-
tation Of Crops, Say Agri-
cultural Specialists.

Prepared by the United States Depart
meut of Agriculture.l
Diversification of the farm business
by the production of several Salable
products, lessons the risk of loss from
crop failure and low prices, promotes
better utilization of teams and ma
chnery, permits rotation of crops, and
on the whole is conducive to the safe
~ and stability of the enterprise, say
specialists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
If the farm selected is so situated
that it is desirable to grow only one
product, the reliability of that prod
uct, both as to production and as to
sale, should be assured. If the climate
is such that only a limited class of
crops will thrive or mature, the grow
ing season may be so short that GER
tain crops essential to a good rotation
can not be grown. 1t should be made
.dOubly sure that climatic conditions,
such as rainfall, period of drought, late
spring or early fall. frOsts, hailstorms,
strong winds, hot winds, fogs and hui
midity do not seriously limit the de
velopment of a well-baanced farm
organizations Many farmers have failed
through failure to give proper atten-
tion to this problem.
Equally important in this regard
with market and climatic limitations
are soil and topography. A soil may
grow beans, corn, oats and timothy,
but not clover, an essential crop for
many rotations, or the soil may be too
sandy for. some crops. 1t may blow
badly or wash when lntertilled crops
are used in the rotation. 1t may be
too poor, or subject to teaching, or

WATER MUST Be
GIVEN To CROPS
Too Much SprinkIing, However,
Often Proves Injurious to
Many of Plants.
Ways OF IRRIGATING GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How the
Work Should Be Done for Best
Results-Thorough Cultivation
Should Be Given.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricuIture.)
Garden crops drink lots of water.
1t is just as essential to their growth
as is plantfood or sunlight. Practi-
cally every horhe gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride in the spring has experienced
various degrees of lost hope during
midsummer droughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for lack of mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture to keep their gardens grow
ing vigorously through dry spells. Va
r1ous ways of irrigatin gardens are
outlined by garden specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say,
are, first, an adequate supply of wa
ter, and second, suitable means of dis
tributing it to the plants. Whenever
the garden is within reach of a city
water supply a hose can be used to
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where u sup
ply of this kind is not available, often
1t is possible to pump water with a
small gas engine and a pump. The
source of water will vary with local
conditions, and each gardener must
work out his own problem, but there
are well-detined principles regarding
its application.
Too Much SprinkIing Injurious.
Frequent sprinkling of garden
plants and the surface soil with the
hose usually does more harm than
good. The best results can be real
lied where water is applied only after
the soil has become reasonably dry,
and the plants are almost at the point
of showing the need of water. The
soil should then be well soaked, and
no more water applied until it is again
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
ough cultivation should be given, be-
ginning as soon as the surface soil
is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods of
applying the water. The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many mar
ket gardeners, consists of pipe q inch
or l inch in diameter with a line OF
holes of about 1.32 inch in diameter
drilled at intervals of every 2 feet
along one side. The pipe is support
ed on lines of stakes driven in the
ground across the garden. One emf
is capped or plugged, and to the other
connection is made with the water
