The women of the commonalty are voluble and vixenish, and ever ready to slap a handful of stars into the eyes of a husband—or into those of a timid and shrinking tourist—should the occasion arise. The women of the upper class are rigorously excluded from masculine eyes, and a hearty vote of thanks is due the committee who fathered this unwritten law. The dainty little Japanese musmee, teet- ering along in sandals or on woooden geat, is a genuine relief to the eye after a view of the uncomely Korean female, and it is a pleasing reflection that Nippon is slowly but surely spreading her standard over the Her- mit Realm. Until Korean boys are married and acquire the pseudo dignity of the top- knot, their’ hair is worn girl fashion in twin plates down their backs. So much do they resemble girls that it is sometimes difficult to determine the sex, and one is oftentimes uncomnion- ly surprised to observe what he is positive are two girls sprawling and viciously fighting in a Korean street, —T Philip Terry in Outing. His Plea. “But many of the ordinances,” urged the modern mayor, “are intended to be enforced.” “How can you tell which are which?” the people asked. “Oh, very easily,” he replied. “I al- ways consider that the ordinances I don’t want to enforce to be the ones that the council passed as a matter of pleasureable recreation.” — Chicago Post.

More Important Detail. “The play in which we would like you to take a part will open in Yon- kers,” announced the theatrical mana- ger. “Well, I’m not so much interested in that,” replied the actor, “as I am in how far we will be from New York when it closes.”—Syracuse Herald. Three Pasture Grasses. At a meeting of Kansas farmers, 4 speaker said: Combinations of grasses and perennial legumes are usually to be preferred to any single grass both for pasture and for hay. A combina- tion of grasses Is especially desirable for pasture, giving more continuous grazing, a greater production of pas- ture, more variety and perhaps a bet- ter-balanced food ration. In choosing grasses for pasture the object should be to select such varieties that the deficiency of one variety may be bal- anced by the good qualities of anoth- er. Grasses should be chosen which are different in their periods of growth and their dates of maturing, in order to lengthen the grazing period and give the greatest amount and most continuous grazing; also a combina- tion of grasses may be made which will make a more perfect sod than any one grass will produce and a more permanent pasture. To illustrate, take a combination of orchard-grass, mead- ow fescue and Bromus inermis. Or- chard-grass starts very early in the spring, makes a rapid growth, and ma- tures early in the summer. It pro- duces little during the drier summer months; also it has the characteristic of growing in bunches, but does not form a sod. Meadow fescue, on the other hand, starts late in the spring, makes a slow growth in the early part of the season, and matures several weeks later than the orchard-grass. Meadow fescue renews its growth in the latter part of the season, making excellent pasture late into the fall. Like the orchard grass it also grows in tufts, but is not quite so bunchy in its growth, hence forms with orchard- grass a better sod than is produced by the orchard-grass alone. Bromus inermis is quite different in its char- acteristics from either of the other grasses. It starts very early in the spring and continues green and grow- ing throughout the season. Being a firm, deep-rooting grass, it withstands dry weather well, hence produces pasture during the dry periods when orchard-grass and meadow fescue practically cease growing. Bromus in- ermis also grows late into the fall. It has a habit of spreading by under- ground rootstocks, and thus fills up the spaces left between the tufts of orchard-grass and meadow fescue, forming a perfect sod. In the region where each of these grasses thrives, the combination of the three should make a much better pasture than any one of the grasses seeded alone. When Constructing Drains. A drainage engineer gives the fol- lowing advice to a land-owner about to construct drains: | 1. Employ a reliable drainage engi- neer to make surveys, and plan your system of drainage. Otherwise you are very liable to throw away part of your money. 2. Require from your drainage engi- neer a complete map or plat of your drains, showing the exact location, sizes, grades and depths. Remember that your drains will be out of reach (except at much cost and _ trouble) after they are covered. 3. Make your drains of ample size. Drains which are too small fail when you need them most, in wet seasons. 4, Put your tile down to a good depth. Otherwise they will not draw well to any considerable distance. Make them four feet deep in the low- {est ground if possible. The extra cost of good depth is small in proportion to the total cost. 5. Have your drainage engineer in- spect the work during construction and test the grades of the drains and see that the work is well done. Many tile become choked with mud because not laid true. 6. Be sure to protect the outlet. Build a bulkhead wall of brick or stone to hold the end. Also use a piece of iron pipe at the end, if tile is not too large, or for large drains use a few feet of sewer pipe cemented. 7. If you are obliged to construct an open ditch, make it at least five to seven feet deep, if possible, to give good outlets for tile, and to avoid choking up. 8. The bottoms of open ditches should be at least three feet wide, and the sides should be given slopes of at least one foot horizontal to one ver- tical to avoid choking. Dirt should not be piled near the edges of the bank. ~Corn and Beef. A noted cattle raiser says that the price of corn and beef should go to- gether. When corn is high, beef must be high, or the farmer will go out of the cattle raising business. The man referred to declares that the large receipts of cattle during the past year are due to the steady unloading of the farmers that do not want to feed high-priced corn to medium-priced cat- tle. It also accounts, he says, for many of the animals arriving in a half-fat condition. It is doubtless true that there is not a wide enough difference between corn-finished cattle and cattle that have received almost no fitting at all. When every bushel of corn a man puts into his beef cat- tle is put in at a loss, as is the case this year, farmers cannot be very en- thusiastic in the finishing of cattle. One of the most valuable elements in the manure is the nitrogen, which fs easily lost. The manure that con- tains it must be got under the sur- face as soon as yossible. { Michigan as a Fruit State. We speak of Michigan as a great fruit-growing state and we are correct. Yet we generally have in mind the idea that she is, par excellence, a grower of peaches, that she grows | more peaches than any other kind of fruit. In that wé are mistaken. AS a@ pexch-grower, Michigan does not take the high rank that she does as a grower of apples. acres of land in Michigan devoted to epple growing than there are acres devoted to all other kinds of tree fruits. Peaches, pears, plums and cherries make a poor showing when | compared with apples. The acres de- veted to the different tree fruits were in 1902 as follows: Apples, 206, | 675; peaches, 60,813; pears, 5,359; plums, 8,892; cherries, 2,117. The yield in bushels in the year named were: Apples, 11,331,524; peaches, 3,255,350; pears, 231,423; plums, 113,- 202; cherries, ¢0,211. Duiing the same vear ‘the straw- berry acreage was 5,928, and the yield 368,368 bushels. There were 2,587 acres in blackberries and they yielded 111,679 bushels. were grown on 10,933 acres and pro- duced 33,973,931 pounds of fruit. - Duration of Vitality in Seeds. The seeds of different plants vary greatly in this regard. Some seeds quickly lose their power to germinate, while others retain that power for a long time. Lettucee seeds are gener- ally short lived in their vitality, but some planters declare that this is due to imperfect methods used in keeping them, and that when properly taken care of they will retain their power to germinate for several years. The seed of the beet has a long period accredited to it, that being not less than ten years. Seeds that cannot be trusted to germinate after four years are the following: Cabbage, kale, rad- ish, tomato, spinach, turnip, aspara- gus, brocoli, cauliflower, beans and peas. Pumpkin, cucumber and melon seeds will also keep their germinating power for ten years. Onion and leek seed quickly lose their power of ger- mination and cannot be trusted after the second year. Some gardeners be- lieve that both melon and cucumber seeds are more fruitful after three years than when only one year old. But it is also believed that the three- year old seeds make a less vigorous | growth of vines. Cultivating the Plum Orchard. S. H. Marshall of Wisconsin, who has a large plum orchard, said re- cently to a representative of the Farmers’ Review: I begin to cultivate my orchard in the spring as soon as I can get onto the land, and I keep up the cultiva- tion till about the 20th of August, when I sow the land to oats. I leave the oats for a winter cover crop. In the spring I run a disk through the ‘oats and break up the surface of the soil. I never plow unless I have to do so. It is sometimes a little difficult to cultivate under the branches of the trees, but for that I use an extension karrow. Then around the trees I put to work the man with the hoe. I do not use a weeder on my land, as the land is not light enough to give good results from the use of that imple ment. My object is to keep a dust mulch of from two to three inches over all the ground. Late Setting of Strawberries. It is certainly best to set strawber ry plants early, yet they can be set at almost any time during the grow- ing season. J. L. Herbst tells the writer that he has known strawberry | plants to be set even when they had} fruit on them. The fruit was of course picked off before the plants wete put into the ground. It hap- pened to be a wet season, and the plants grew all right. As good suc cess would not probably have been at- tained in a dry season. It shows, how: ever, what can be done when the plants are properly taken care of, even when the transplanting is done out of season. We do not advise set- ting out strawberry beds in the mid- dle of the summer, yet there may be exceptional cases where good plants would be available at that season and at no other time. Lake Yellow Crab Apple. On this variety the Virginia Sta tion reports as follows: (Probably same as Large Yellow Siberian.) Only fairly vigorous in growth, but larger and has stockier limbs than Red Siberian, which it resembles very much in habit of growth. Upright, spreading head, limbs droop after fruiting. Trunk 14% inches in cir cumference at base, 13 inches at head. Generally free from disease. First ploom and fruit noted in 1892. Full crops of fruit in 1895 and 1897. Light crop 1898. Heavy crop in 1899 and fair crop in 1901. In 1899 eleven bush- els of fruit were picked from twe small trees. Fruit very large for a Siberian crab, ‘beautiful golden yellow in color, rich, spicy flesh, highest qual- ity for culinary use. Ripens with Hy- slop. Highly commended. Professor Goff used to say thar seeds of the pumpkin family should pe planted flatwise rather than edge wise, since in this position they most readily free themselves from the seed case.
