/" tbs as easy to be right as

to be wrong-and to ones glory"
A young lady wishes to know
whether or not it is correct for her
to assist a young man with his over
coat, when he attempts to put ii on.
And why not, my dear? For, if he
is having as awkward time of it, and,
as often occurs, the armhole seems
constantly to elude the coat owner,
what is a more graceful gesture, or
more thoughtful one, than to set UP
and make firm the coat with one
hand, while the young mans arm
slips into it?
/ do not mean by this that. when
your guest, or your escort, or your
acquaintance at a social function
goes to get a coat, you should streak
into the dressing room, procure the
coat and come and play footman
while the coat is adjusted In its proper
place. Nor is it necessary that you
reach carefully under the topcoat 10

If you may. naturally and without
great effort, be of assistance to a
young man putting on his coat, by all
means assist If it must be awkward.
and you must feel that you are doing
something you should not do, desist
for it is this feeling that makes of a

natural person conscious one.

Leaves Turn Brown if Al
lowed to Stand Too Long.

Late cutting and improper curing
are the most common cause OF low
grades and low prices Of hay. says
Prof. L. A. Dalton Of the department
Of agronomy at the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca. The
usual difference between No. 2 and
No. hay is that No. was allowed TO
become over-ripe or was cured in such
a way that it lost its color and aroma.
The time when the common nays
should be cut are as follows, accord
ing to Professor Dalton:
Timothy should be cut when 1t Is
In full bloom. If allowed to stand
longer the leaves and stems turn
brown. If allowed to stand too long
many Of the leaves turn brown and
fall and the stems become woody.
Mixtures of clover and timothy
should be cut when the clover has
reached full bloom. Red clover usu-
ally blooms ten days to two weeks
earlier than timothy, but If the cutting
is delayed until the timothy Is In
bloom the clover will be over-ripe.
Alfalfa should be cut when one
tenth to one-ffth Of the crop Is In
full bloom. If allowed to stand longer
