Hair May Be Worn Plain or

Simplicity is the keynote of the

Instances, half conceal, half reveal the
feminine ear. The tendency, declares

right dash to the otherwise simple

youthful-appearing matron as well as
the young girl but, as present styles do
not call for the coyness which is asso

should be used in introducing them In
the coiffure.
Now and then one sees at the thea

Sometimes a suspicion of pomade Is

Charming Sports Suit
for Early Spring Wear
This very attractive sports suit for
early spring wear is made up of a
smart brown mixture.
there we find women wearing the
fringe or bangs especially suited to
their English sisters or the trying coif
fure popular in Frauce, but more often
they dress their hair ala America;
that Is, waved or marceled, a frame to
tlie face.
The French bob, or shingle as we
Americans call If, Is gaining in popu
larity with the girls who refuse to
give up the hob because It is conveni
ent and comfortable to wear. The
French bob differs from the American
in that the hair Is encouraged to grow
low on the neck and then is trimmed
to show the contour of the head. When
two or three flappers are gathered to
gether the topic of conversation no
longer hovers between styles and men,
but around the problem of acquiring a
head of long hair overnight. For Dame
Fashion lias said once more, and this
time her voice has an authoritative
tone, that the boh is passe, out of
date. Impossible.
For Girls* Wear
Girls are showing a decided prefer
ence for haii-bows, which can be ar
ranged In so many different ways. One
very popular style is the bandeau ef
fect, which gives such a dainty, demure
air to a little girl. It consists merely
of a band of ribbon an Inch and a half
or two inches wide, stretched across
the front and fastened underneath the
back of-the hair with a piece of elastic.
Placed cunningly at either end of the
band nre ribbon rosettes, plain little
tailored bows or clusters of ribbon
flowers.
edging the bottom of the skirt, which
is cut to the ankle.
The tendency is to delicacy and ar
tistic beauty, and the diversity of de
signs provides for many individual
preferences.
Petit point Is the fad of the hour,
and is Introduced In miniature on
many of the accessories of both eve
ning and daytime dress. One dainty
trifle is a tiny suede bag that holds a
little powder puff and a lipstick en
cased in metal. On one side is an
entre-deux in petit point of flowers.
The top of the bag Is cut in a fringe
and closes with a drawstring.
Hatband Holds Veil
One of the very newest black satin
hats expresses its inimitable smart
ness by affecting a light lace veil,
draped around the hat so that one
edge hangs three inches over the brim,
and the other edge stands up limply
around the crown. The band is of
silver ribbon with a flat how, and go -s
over the veil, thus holding it to its
fashionable line.

No one could
walk along the streets until the snow
was shoveled, for It had fallen in
banks and great drifts. And now that
paths were made the snow shovels
were having a re3t.
Then, too, the boys who had been
using them had gone off to school.
They had been left against the ham
door.
“I think it is nice to be a snow
shovel,” said the first one. “I would
hate to be a fan In the summer time,
for example, and have to blow about
In the hot air.
“It Is so much nicer to go through
the cool, soft, beuutiful snow. 1 dear
ly love the snow.”
“And I agree with you,” said the
second snow shovel. “I’ve often
thought how dreadful it would be to
be a flatiron and to be put on a stove.
“There was an old llatiron out in
the barn once and It talked to me
and told me how It used to sit on a
stove until it was good and hot and
then how it was pushed back and
forth over damp clothes until lt made
them smooth and warm, too.
“That would be a job I wouldn’t
care for at all.
“But our work ! Our work is play!”
“Yes,” said the first snow shovel,
“and it is so easy to work in good
crisp cold weather. In the summer
time it Is different. I wouldn’t blame
anyone for being lazy in the summer
time.
"If anyone came to me and said:
“ ‘So-and-So is very lazy,’ I would at
once ask, ‘When was So-and-So lazy?’
“If I was told that it was in the
summer time I’d shake my head if I
had a head. As I haven’t I’d merely
squeak a little and I would say:
“ ‘Friend, that isn’t laziness. That
is merely natural.’
“Now we can work with a vim and
with lots of energy because the weath
er makes us feel so fine.
"In the winter the air amounts to
something. You can feel It. It plays
about you and whispers to you and
tells you secrets and lt makes you

Italian Seed Is
Not Satisfactory
Has Resulted in Poor Crop
or Failure in Nearly
Every Trial.
(Prepared by the United States Departmew
of Agriculture.)
In October last, the United States
Department of Agriculture called nt
tendon to the fact that the American
red clover seed crop for 1923 appeared
to be a short one and that therefore
It was probable that considerable Im
portations of foreign seed would be
made. Present Indications nre that
such Importations will he heavy and
from widely separated regions of pro
duction and therefore will include seed
varying greatly In its adaptability to
the climatic conditions of different por
tions of this country. This makes it
Important for the farmer to consider
In the light of available information
what kind of clover seed will be best
for him to buy.
While the department has not yet
accumulated sufficient information
through its tests in co-operation with
the state experiment stations to make
possible a determination of the adapt
ability of red clover from all the for
eign sources, the following points are
fegarded as fairly well settled:
1. Italian red clover seed Is nn
sultable for any part of the clover
urea except the Pncific Northwest.
Ttallan seed has resulted In a poor
crop or a failure In nearly every trial
made by the department, both in Its
>wn tests and those made in co-opera
tion with the state experiment sta
tions except In the" Pacific Northwest.
How much Italian seed will be import
ed Is not known and, unfortunutely, It
Is not possible to teli how much Ital
ian grown seed will be offered under
some other name.
2. In the Central Northwest where
winters nre severe and the snow cover
usually light, northern grown red
clover seed only should he used. If
that ls not to be had, other domestic
seed may be used, except that from
Oregon, which produces a less hardy
plant.
3. So far as trials have been made
the Chilean, French, and northern
European seed has given good results
Jn the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and
in the North Atlantic coast states.
However, where there Is trouble from
clover diseases, especially anthraenose.
the foreign clovers are more likely to
lose out on the second crop.
4. In Virginia and westward to Ten
nessee, where anthraenose Is likely
to bo destructive, an effort should be
made to develop local disease resistant
strnlns. At present there Is
ticnlly no such seed on the market.
Under these circumstances seed grown
In the eastern United States ns near
as possible to where the seed Is to be
used, or Chilean, or French seed sown
In August rather than In the spring
may be expected to give fair results.
On suitable land a good crop of hay
may be commonly expected even
though a second cutting may not be se
cured,
5. In Oregon, Washington and Idaho
all strnlns have done well, the place
of origin of the seed seems to make
Mttle difference for these regions.
6. Buyers should Insist on knowing
the origin of the seed offered and seed
should be purchased from firms or or
ganizations of known Integrity and re
sponsibility.
7. It would probably he desirable
for all American fanners to use only
domestic red clover seed. That Is at
present Impossible, however, and too
great insistence on this might lend
‘o an excessive increase In price to
gether with the sale of much Imported
seed under domestic labels. Wherever
Imported seed of suitable kinds can
be safely used, this course would seem
advisable to follow rather than to re
duce the acreage seeded because of
difficulty In securing domestic seed.
Skim Milk Valuable for
Feeding Young Animals
Skim milk is worth very much mon
tor feeding to pigs and calves than to
dairy cows, but when a surplus fs at
hand it is all right to use It. At the
Connecticut station, when separator
skim milk was offered to the old cows,
anly four would drink It, even though
water was withheld for forty-eight
hours and grain was mixed with the
milk. With the four cows, skim milk
was substituted for concentrates In
the ration at the rate of eight pounds
Df milk for one of concentrates. This
jubstltutlon caused an increase In the
yield '‘f milk.
Planting Cherry Trees
Is Best in the Spring
The northern section, such as north
*rn Wisconsin, believes It is best to
ouy cherry trees In the fall, bury them
;n the ground nnd after the ground Is
frozen cover It vfth strew, leaves or
ilmilar materiel. Such trees when
planted In the spring seem to do better
:han trees which* come direct from the
inrsery U> either the fall or spring.
Making and Storing
Ice for Summer Use
Method of Freezing in Cana
or Paper Bags Outlined.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
burnishing the average furin with a
sufficient supply of ice foi use in the
house and the dairy is a problem of
considerable concern In many locali
ties, especially where there are n*
ponds or streams from which u natural
supply can be secured. A method of
freezing Ice in metal cans or special
paper bags may be used, suys the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture;
in regions where cold weather prevails
for several weeks at a time and where
the supply of pure water is limited.
The cuus intiy be made in any con
venient size by a local tinsmith and
should be of galvnnizcd iron rein
forced at top and bottom with Iron
strips- The bottom is made slightly,
smaller than the top to make the re
moval of the Ice easier. The cans are
placed near the well or other source
of water supply, filled with water and
left exposed to the weather. A shell
of Ice soon freezes around the inner
surface, and when this shell Is from
1% to 2 Inches thick, hot water la
poured over the outside of the can
and the shell removed. If left te
freeze solid the cake would tend te.
burst or bulge. After the shell is re
moved from the can u bole is broken
through at the top of the shell and
most of the water Inside then poured
out. As the freezing progresses, wa
ter Is poured into the shell a little at
n time until a solid block of tee Is pro
duced. lty this method only a few
cans are required, usually enough te
complete the freezing of one or two
layers for the ice house at a time.
About the same method Is employed
when special paper bags nre used, al
though they do not lust so long as the
cans. Another method that can ba
used In very cold sections of the Unb
ted States Is to run water Into the lea
house and let a layer freeze. This la
done >y first constructing a dam of
snow around the floor of the house 10
or 12 inches from the wull In order to
nllow sawdust Insulation next to tha
walls. The interior of the house la
then flooded with u few inches of wa
ter, which soon freezes, the procedure
being repeated until the house Is filled
with ire. It Is then covered with saw
dust and closed up until toe is needed.

Sweet Soil Is Necessary
for Many Garden Crops
Your garden may not be acid, but If
ft has been kept pretty rich tb
chances are it is. When manure and
green crops are plowed under they do
cay and make for acidity, and no soS

this condition. Some crops do not ob

eral high-producing soil It Is necessary;
to keep it sweet. There La little dan

as lime will help to make all fertilizer*
produce better results, when using
them it Is advisable to first time the

be applied together, for the lime will
often cause a loss of plant food by
hasty chemical action.
Alfalfa Most Valuable.
Alfalfa hay, us everyone knows wb
has had experience with it, is a most
valuable forage for all kinds of llv
stork, but especially for breeding an
imals. This is because it contains a
relatively high percentage of protein
as wed as a considerable amount
mineral matter.
