to the question you ask ME unless
somebody told you. 1t is the busi-
ness of your parents or your guar
dams to tell you the truth. 1t should
have been told to you long ago. II
you know any woman who has good
sense enough to tell you the truth
as it should be told, go to her and
ask her as favor to enlighten you,
II really makes me indignant that
grown people leave girls and boys
in such ignorance and then blame
them for the unfortunate things that
happen. Yes, kissing and petting
come under the general term of
"petting." The reason that the let
tiers you have read refer to kissing
as something dangerous is because of
what it is likely to lead to. Kissing
in itself is harmless, unless the kiss
er has communicable disease.
Colds are transmitted by kissing and
so are some other things, among
them some very bad things. That
can't happen, of course, unless one
of the kissers is carrying a disease
germ on the lips or in the mouth.
But the reason these letters call
kissing dangerous" is because some
times kissing rouses feelings that
influence young people to go farther
! in their intimacies than they had
any intention of going in the first
place. And afterwards they regret
it very much. ] hope you can find
en- intelligent person to explain to
you what you want to know. If you

Hints for the Sickroom

A miniature shoe bag, tied to the
side of the bed of an invalid, saves
many steps for the nurse. Make it
long and narrow and tie to the side
of the bed next the wall. In it put
the invalid's glasses, notebook, tot
let articles, fountain pen, handker-
chiefs and many other useful things
that will be needed during the day.
Devote old linen to bandage use
and prepare for emergencies by hav-
ing it torn in strips and sterilized.

American Golfers Have
Hard Luck in England

Out of the scores of Americans,
men and women, who have played in
the British amateur golf tournaments
only two, the Australian-born Walter
j. Travis and Jesse Sweetser, have
triumphed. writes Ralph Cannon in
the Chicago Journal.
England has had little better luck
over here, although Harold Hilton
won the mems amateur title in 1911,
while Miss Dorothy Campbell, now
Mrs. Hur,, took the women's laurels
in 1900 and 1910, and Mrs. Temple
Dobell, one of Miss Collects victims
in the present British tourney, was
champion of America in 1913, when
she was Miss Gladys Ravenscroft.
Two of Britain's greatest stars met
defeat on American links in especially
notable matches. Hilton, returning in
1912 in quest of his second straight
mems title, was knocked out in the
very first round by Charles G. Waldo,
Jr.. who never entered the ranks Of
champions.
Nine years later Miss Cecil Leitch,
at that time queen of the links in
Britain, tried for the American wom-
ems honors and after winning her first
match was defeated in the second
round by Mrs. f. G. Let's, Jr., 1 up.
In that same tournament, in 1921,
Miss Collect was eliminated by Miss
Edith Leitch, sister of the British
champion, but Edith Leitch fell later
before Elaine Rosenthal. sister of
Mrs. Let's.

Should Be HOMEGROWN and
of Good Quality.

To make a successful business of
roadside marketing one must have
sufficient interest, the right help, a
good location, and the willingness to
be exacting and pay close attention
to details, stated Prof. Paul Work of
Cornell university, speaking at the
New York State College of Agriculture,
on roadside markets for vegetables.
One must decide whether to make a
business of roadside marketing or to
merely use 1t to increase the family
income
The produce sold should be home
grown or raised in the vicinity, and
never obtained from city markets.
Speaking with special reference to
vegetables, he said, fairly full line
should be carried with certain prod
ucts as a speciality. The vegetables
should be graded with separate prices
and separate arrangements for dis
playing different grades. Neatness and
mass arrangement in display of the
goods, with flowers as side line, In

The site of the stand should be
chosen so it may be seen readily from

should be distinctive, attractive and
serviceable. Signs ought to be neat
and simple. But they are not as i'm

of Agriculture.)
In Feeding Cattle for Beef" which
has just been published by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 1549-F, w. ID.
Black Of the bureau of animal indus
try offers in 16 pages condensed and
simplified analysis of practices In
feeding cattle, which have been tested
in the feed lots and pastures. 1t Is
intended primarily as an aid to farm
ers who have not had wide experience
in finishing cattle for the market, but
IL is believed the bulletin will be no
less valuable to experienced feeders In
checking their established methods.
Knowing Market Trends.
Since the net returns from cattle
feeding constitute the real basis for
measuring success In the fattening OF
cattle, the author points out the de-
STABILITY of knowing the market
trends by seasons and for a term of
years. This knowledge, plus an exam
ination of the kinds and qualities OF
feeds and roughages on the farm, will
in large measure determine when to
buy feeders and what sort to buy.
Dry-lot feeding and fattening on
grass are the two methods of finish
ing cattle for market. Ii often pays
to feed grain supplements to cattle
on grass TO gain a better finish at an

to be higher for such grades. In re-
cent years the demand for smaller
cuts of high quality meat has favored
the practice of feeding calves literally
and selling them as fat yearlihgs.
Quotations from the bulletin will indi-
cate its scope:
approximately rs per cent of the
fertilizing constituents of feeds fed to
live stock is returned in the manure"
Most cattle feeders take 1t as
matter of course that cattle feeding
cannot be made a successful enter
prise without having hogs in the feed
lot"
"Such feeds as milo, kafr and bar
ley should be ground"
"The higher the grade, or quality Of
the feeder the more economical will
be its use of feed"
"When feeders are relatively cheap
and feeds high. cattle possessing con-
siderable fat are preferable"
Finishing on Grass.
IF cattle are to be finished on
grass, and If there is sufficient rough
age to carry them through the winter,
the feeders should be purchased in the
fall. Buying feeders in the spring for
finishing on grass the following sum-
mer should be limited to cattle that
are fairly mature.
"Dry rations are now usually asso-
ciated with short feeding periods and
with feeder cattle over 800 pounds In
weight. Silage rations are used more
in long feeding periods with the light
er feeders"

Causes of Failures to
Secure Alfalfa Stand

Failures to secure stands of alfalfa
on reseeding may be due to several
causes, farmers interested In new
seedlings are being advised Young
alfalfa needs firm, moist seed bed
that has been as carefully prepared as
for sugar beets, according to Alvin
Kezer, agronomist of the Colorado ex-
pertinent station. For that reason the
crop often is started more readily on
land that has been previously in
cultivated crop that has left the soil
in a good physical condition. Some
failures to secure stands of alfalfa
may be due to the lack of organic
matter in the soil which is sometimes
evident on heavy soils that "run to-
gether."
Alfalfa makes the best growth when
planted fairly early In the season and
not over one inch deep on heavy soils.
The seed must come in contact with
moisture before it will terminate,
which sometimes makes il necessary
to furrow and irrigate the newly seed
ed ground. A nurse crop is particu-
larry valuable where the soil tends
either to crust or blow, Professor
Kezer points out. From one-half to
two-thirds of a stand of the nurse
crop is sufficient. Barley has proved
the best nurse crop all over Colorado.
particularly the variety known as
Colsess. Kanota, a short-stemmed oat.
has proved very satisfactory in the
Arkansas valley. After the ground
has been planted the alfalfa, rather
than the nurse crop, should be favored
in the matter of irrigation. The small
grain will usually take care of itself
as long as the young alfalfa is in good
condition. The alfalfa should be irri-
gated as soon after the nurse crop is
harvested as possible.

Extra fine quality alfalfa hay may
contain one-fourth more protein than
wheat bran. while poor quality alfalfa
may have a fourth less.
The curing of hay is largely de
pendent on weather conditions, but
siIage crops can be put into the silo
when wet and will cure regardless OF
weather.
Alfalfa contains the protein needed
to balance the silage while the sllage
supplies succulence.
Lawns should be seeded either In
early spring or in late summer for the
grasses usually sowed grow best in
the cool weather and short days which
come then.
Aside from the laborsaving advan-
tages of modern hay machines, the
help which they give in producing a
higher quality of hay should not be
lost sight of.
The quality of hay depends quite
largely on the methods used in cur
ing and handling 1t, hence the neces-
sity for using the best methods and
