Lycan has so far refused to|;’ ‘become a candidate, but would with- out doubt make a strong legislator. {i Wouldn’t it be funny if St. Paul should pull out ahead of Minneapolis in the Association race this year. There are those who would give up @ season ticket to see Dave Altizer accept the offer made him by the : “Feds,” and never show up again in a Mill City uniform. It is this player more than any other that help. ed Minneapolis capture wins. That it is co-operation that wins in the long run has been amply de- monstrated in Beltrami county by several of the most energetic farmers <lubs, which have by pulling togeth- er secured telephone service, rural Toute service and may other of the present day advantages. They hold regular monthly meetings and at these discuss the methods of better farming and most sucessful and pro- | fitable crops. This is the spirit! that eventually wins.

Practical Fashion Hints By Alice Gibson ‘Women have long since given up the idea that house dresses to be practical, must be dowdy. The regulation house dress of to-day is quite as dainty and becoming as the afternoon or evening gown, Cotton fabrics used for these dresses are becoming more attractive every day; they are colored well and may be washed and ironed indefinitely without fading or becoming ugly; de- signs also are improving. No. 8186 shows a kimono blouse, which may be cut with a high or square neck, an elbow length sleeve (pattern is cut for full length as well) and a three-piece skirt., with a slight fullness at the back which may be laid in pleats or gathered. Cotton voile, crepe. madras or ging- ham may be used to advantage, and almost any other suitable wash mate- rial. shown here, the neck and sleeves are finished effectively with bands of evelet emhl'oid@ To make this dress s lustrated it requires 4% y inch materia The pattern is cut in 7 e 36 as il- ards of 42 T sizes: 34 to 46, This Is a Perfect Pattern.

Considered Weed—But ' Now Veluable Plant—Good Soil Build- er—White“Vartety Best. By J. G. HANEY, Grand Forks, N. D. There are two varieties of sweet clover that are gaining favor as hay and pasture crops, the white and the yellow flowered. These plants are closely related to alfalfa, but they are biennials, that is, a single plant lives only two years. However, the sweet clovers are such persistent seed pro- ducers, the seed of such high vitality, and the young plants so vigorous, that when once establishedy it appears to live from: year to year. The ordinary methods of mowing it at random along gccupied lots or ‘Belds, has little ap- parent. effect. Sweet -clover is considered hy most farmers as a bad weed. It, however, has long had friends who have learn- ed its value, and recently, especially in the drier sections and on poor soil, it is gaining much favor as a pasture and hay crop. The fact that it has a rather repulsive odor and tbste, and that stcok do not eat it to any great extent are the faults usually placed against it. However when stock are confined to sweet clover pasture, they soon learn to like it and fatten very rapidly, and there seems to be no trouble . from animal bloating on clover as there often is with alfalfa. In Colorado, along the railroads, there are many plants. of sweet clover that have been eaten off by range cattle. | In feeding value, alfalfa and sweet clover are very nearly equal. The white sweet clover seems to | give best satisfaction for both hay | and pasture. * For hay, the plants must be cut early—about the time the first blooms appear. At this time the Te- ! pulsive odor and taste are not so no- | ticeable as at later stages of growth. | Early cutting is best, because a sec- ond growth will come immediately and produce a second cutting or a | seed crop. The yield of hay is re- | ported to be equal to or greater than | alfalfa. The handling of a seed crop is somewhat more difficult than alfal- fa, as it shatters very badly. It is also essential that sweet clover be cut high—about four, inches—the first time or there is danger of killing many of the plants. ‘The“requirements of sweet clover as to preparation of seed bed, method of seeding, amount of seed per acre, etc., are practically the same as for al- falfa. It is not probable that sweet clover will be found better than al- falfa, where the latter can be grown | successfully, but in the drier sections or on land that does not grow alfalfa.> readily, it certainly is worth while | | making a trial of sweet clover. The agricultural papers lately have pub-! lished many instances of successfulg trials of sweet clover. For lack of" space these are not reproduced here. | LEAVE GOOD GROWTH TO 9 PROTECT THROUGH WINTER Lost First Seeding by Using Nurse Crop—Cannot. Afford to Feed Sil- age Without Alfaifa to Milk ' Cows. — | By F. C. MILLER. Crookston, Minn. I sowed my first seed in 1911, which I lost on account of dry weather and heavy nurse crop of barley, which I grew with it. Next year I sowed the same two acres, with 18 pounds per acre. Seed cost $15.00 per hundred, laid down here and was all pure seed. I got a fine stand -and did not cut i1l in the fall"When I just cipped the|H : tops of alfalfa and.some weeds-which had come up in it. I wanted all this growth for a mulch for fear it might winter kill. It came through the win- ter in fine shape and was the first of any grass te show this spring. I cut about two tons July 1st, and August 1st I cut a fine crop of about one and one-half tons on the two acres, and I think I can get one and one-half tons again and still leave enough for win- ter covering. . 1 expect to sow 12 acres next spring as we think We cannot -afford to milk cows and feed sflage withowt-alfalfa. 1 might say absut cutting the first crop—my father has three acres sown same time as mine that he cut twice the first year—flelds less than ome- half mile apart, and about the only difference we could see was that his was a little later starting in spring and possibly not quite as thick. But I would urge leaving a fairly good covering in the fall to protect the crowns of plants from freezing and thawing too much in the spring. ALFALFA 18 A HARDY PLANT Plenty of Manure—Good Seed Bed— Pure Seed—All Factors in Get- ting a Stand-of Alfaifa. By F. J. DICKSON, Fordville, N. D. 1 do not think there is any doubt | regarding the growing of alfalfa with us, providing there is a chance for the water to run off in a short time, as standing water will kill it. I be- leve that good plowing, along with plenty of manure, and a little extra work on the grount before seeding, 1s about all that is essential to get a start ln alfalfa, that is, with good If You Had Need Of A Cook, Would You Wait For One?
