las grass, 8 lbs. per acre; white clo-
yer, lbs. per acre; red-top CHerd's
grass,) or orchard grass. lbs. per

Lespedeza. Cattle will tramp in the
seed while grazing on made-over
pasture or else the soil should be
firm below and loose on top and COW
cred very lightly with roller or
brush.
The white (Dutch) clover and red
top should be sown> over this in the
fall
For good uplands, Bermuda cut
tings and 10 lbs of Lespedeza should
be used per acre. On good soil, or
chard grass, red-top and blue grass
may be grown in place Of Berduma,
the blue grass in shaded portions.
Those who wish to start better

Dish Washing,

.n
The washing Sof fdishesSStakes so
much time ins severys house that it is
evidently a suBjeotfuarihg for close
attention. Nothing tis more desirable
than that this work be done thor
oughly and we'll. fStilI, IT is doubt
less possible to plan for IT In such a
way that time may be saved for
other matters. ~ ~
dn the first place, systematic work
Is sure to go more rapidly .hsn hap
hazard fashions. The dishes should
be prepared for washing by scrap
ing them as clean as possible, and
some housekeepers advocate rinslng
Off many OF them under the hot Or
cold faucets before lputting'them in
the dish-pan. Hard water Is very un-
satisfactory for dish. washing, and
the use of soda or borart ts 4 great
help when soft water il not avail
able. Borax is not SO hard On the
hands as soda. Dishes While have
contained milk or eggs are better
rinsed we'll in cool water, for heat
hardens the albumins so tha they
are removed with difficulty.
Plenty OF hot soapy water Il neces-
sary to do this work easily, and a
second dish-pan of clear. hot water
In which to rinse the dishes Is very
great help. Use very little soap on
gilt china, however.
There seems to be great yariety
Of opinion on the subject Of washing
glass. Many housekeopers h. y. ex-
pressed preference for wasNjni It
in cold water rather than hot. Were
the glass is not at all greasy tnis Is
very we'll. Ammonia or soda IN the
water helps to clean the g,aas and
makes it lustrous. Glass waeAcd in
cold water should be alloy 4 to
drain almost dry before 1t is pol
Ashed. :.
One housekeeper has duscrted to
me wire basket which ST. has
made to hold dishes when They are
drained, and which Is made 10 fit
into her dish-pan. Fitting the dishes
into this, she is able to im,nc .se
them in hot rinsing W. cor, and ,hen
lift them out to dry. Sne finGS The
plan an excellent one.
Another student writes tina she
has found sifted coal ashes a most
useful article to use In Cleani3.t the
knives. Another prefers slfted wood
ashe. These must be very care lily
sifted, SO that no hard bits be left in,
which might scratch the articles to
be polished. ''"<F 'F-
The kitchen dishes are usually the
most difficult to wash, and with
these a homemade 'scrubbor" is
very useful. Take broom apart,
good one, by removing the wire
and letting the straw loose, she
says. 1.-THE upper part;of the straw
is then put into boiling watcr and
left long enough to soften II. Then
the straws are tied together j. bun

strong twine. The twine is pulled

straw, and when dry 1t a0@grn' jiip.

Many recommend the use OF soft pa
per in cleaning greasy dishes, ket-
ties and pans. The papers may be
burned, thus disposing of much Of
the grease which would otherwise
find its way into the Kitchen sink

HAS RULED FROM BEGINNING
That Japanese Royal Family Has No Name Is Proof of Assertion Long
 Put Forward.

In the peaceful and isolated cOm- munity 1t Is probable that at first no family had any special line of occupa- tiOn to follow. It was when the com munfty had made some progress that division of labor was introduced. It is clear from many myths that family names in Japan were taken from the occupations followed. When many families came to follow the same Oc- equation then the necessity arose for giving distinctive names to the diff ferent families. Of the ruling family, however. there was only one, and as 1t had no occupation as other families did it had no name. Nor was there any occasion for giving 1t a distinctive name: it sufFiced to call it by an hon. Orific name. It was and Is only when member of the imperial family sets up a branch family that q distinctive name is given.
 Japan furnishes the solitary in- stance where the ruling family has no family name. In England, Italy. HOl- land and other countries those who already had family names acquired in- fiuence and ascended to the throne. That the Japanese ruling family has no name is clear proof of the con- tention that Japan has been ruled by the same family from the beginning Had there been any revolution at any time in the history of Japan--that Is to say, had the first ruling family been supplanted by another-the pres ent imperial house would have a name of it's own.-Chicago Journal.

EST HARD TO DISCOURAGE
Picweed. Universal Nuisance, Has Been Known to Drive Amateur
 Gardener to Profanity.

A pigweed is both an irresistible force and an immovable body, blend ed into one and working overtime. Pigweeds don't ask anything of any body They don't need to. Even Dame Nature turned round and. went nwuy as soon as she'd introduced him. Books on gardening dismiss him with a itunty direction to Keep the weeds down" But you cant oStracize a pig weed that way
 A pigweed begins making trouble the minute he shows above ground. ncver saw a pigweed that could look more like more kinds of young plants. You can't tell by pulling 'em up, for the pigweed has long, thin red root, but pulling up little flower and vege- table plants by mistake discourages pm. even if you admit your error and apologize. And, on the other hand, 1t does not hurt the pigweed. Just let him lie on the ground, and his roots curl into it and he goes on growing aS if nothing had happened. If you mash one into the ground with your heel. you just give him a better start.
 All they ask is to be near enough the ground to see it. l brought some into the. house and put them on the windOw-sill. where they could see out by raising up a bit, and they all grew. You could lock them up in closet, and if NOur hands were sOiIed when you handled 'em, they'd get enough nuuriSiment to live on
 The only sure way to get rid of one Is to cun him and burn the can.- Everybody'S Magazine
