SECURING STAND OF ALFALFA
Exoellent Argument Preeented In Fa-
vor jf Spring Seeding With Oata
aa Nuroo Crop.
A seven-acre field of
Ohio atate university farm, at Colum-
bua. presents a good argument in tor
▼or of spring seeding, with oats aa a
nurse erop. This field was seeded
April 11. at a rata of IS pounds of
alfalfa and a bushel of oats per aero,
both sown in tho grain drill at the
aame operation. On July IS the oata
were cut for hay. making a yield of
a little oyer a ton aad a half per
aero.
By September 10 the alfalfa was
ready for the flret cutting, aad the
yield of fleld-eured hay oa the seven
acres waa 18,ISO pounda, or a little
over nine tons. It la rather unuaual
to secure a erop of hay the first aea-
aon after seeding, but good aeed prep-
aration and favorable weather oondl-
tiona this paat summer are partly ae-
oountable for tMs excellent stand.
Tho Held, whloh Is lsvel and well
drained, was In potatoes to 1S10.
That fall It was eown to rye, which
was plowed aider the following
aprlng and the land planted to eorn.
Last fall this corn ground waa plowed
with a deep tilling machine, aad left
tor the winter. In April It was thor-
oughly dlaked and harrowed, before
the alfalfa and oats were aown.

METHOD FOR CURING MEATS

Keynote of on Artletle Floral Decora-
tion New le Irregulerity and the
Surfeee Space Muat Be
Well Belenecd.
The woman who eeeays to employ
Sowers for decorative purpoaee ahould
delve deeply into tho atudy of plant
life to booomo familiar with their hab-
its aad growth.
Flowers of a etiff, upright growth do
not lend themaelvaa readily for deoo-
ration. When they are uaed, their nat-
ural tendendco must be humored. If
the offset la at nU artistic.
Tho erstwhile popular custom of
bonking cut flowers or growing plants
nnd festooning with heavy ropes of
evergreens no longer obtains.
1%e more artistic and natural,
loose, gr%ceful arrangement of fiowers
and planta la. now uaed, and bare
strstehee of wall efe bridged over
with delicate trailing vlnee, supple-
mented by generous sprays aad
branches of foliage.
Receptacles for cut flowers should
be neutral In color, and In shape fel-
low the main lines of ths flower.
The keynote of sn artistic floral dec-
oration Is Irregularity. There must be
no geometric arrangement to tire the
eye; no repeata to pall the aeneee. In-
stead, each portion of the decorative
scheme must have a distinctive charm
of Its own.
Surface spaee must be weU bal-
aaced. There muat be no overcrowd-
ing at one point aad bare etretchee at
another.
Flowers employed for decorating
should be seasonable. The flower that
in midsummer would compel admira-
tion for lte appropriateness as well as
beauty would be wholly out of place
la a midwinter deoorative scheme. Nor
muot blooming plante or cut flowers
snd svergreens bs eombtoed in s dec-
orative schema
The meet artistic effect le produced
by employing fiowera of one color,
with the setting of green that nature
uses in sU her color sehemse.
Two oolors may bo combined, some-
tlmee. with pleasing effect provided
they blend naturally or form a har-
monious oontraet
When a number of rooms in a house
are to be decorated for seme such an
ooeaalon aa a reception or similar func-
tion, the treatment dependa upon the
arrangement of the rooms.
When they may be thrown together,
as may be done In modern housee of
any pretensions, the same scheme
should be carried out in all. If this
Is not the case, an individual scheme
may prevail, if deelrable, In each
room.
