It It -ot posalble for anyone to
foretell the seaaon and It la not the
purpoae of thli article to try to pre-
dict the amount of rainfall during the
coming spring and lummer modtb.
The aeaaon of 1910 a very dry in
nearly atl part of the United Stale
prerlou to 1910 we had a number of
and prevent the evaporation of mois-
ture. Whether or not It will pay to teed
a crop upon this newly plowed land
Is difficult to say. In tome Instances
a quick growing crop would give a
yield and In many Instances It would
not. In order to be on tbe safe tide
It It tuggetted that tho land should
be summer fallowed the first season
and seeded the next fall or tho next
spring Dy tummcr fallowing Is
meant tbat tbo land should be cult!
vatcd or harrowed after each rain
throughout tho summer. A good way
to tell whether the land needs to be
harrowed or not Is to study tho phys-
ical condition of tbo surface soil. If
a crust has been formed do not delay
the better The ou.ect oi wis turn
raor fallowing Is to prevent the
evaporation of moisture
The second consideration that
meant tuccess or failure In a dry re-
gion Is the crop that Is grown. Crops
that aro especially well adapted to
sown quite early In the fall This
l will give opportunity for n good root
j development. Then Again the fall
I sowing rcrmlta the grain to start
vory early tho next spring flccause
of theso characteristics Turkey Red
j wheat will mature bofora the dry
' wonther of July and August. If ono
Is to sow a spring grown crop he
I should also secure a variety that will
mature In as short a time ns possible
and ono that bas a hardy root
1 t;rowth. These characteristics will
tldo the plant over a dry spell and
no doubt will mature n crop.
Too much emphasis cannot be
rilaced upon tbo method of handling
the land and In choosing tbe varie-
ties of grain that are used.
Humus In Orchard Soil.
Tbo humua loosens tbe soil particles
.which In turn Increases its water ca-
pacity. Tho humus Is essential for
tho growth of the beneficial bacteria
In tho soil. Ono of tho most Important
riarts tbat a cover crop plays Is Its
nblllty to chango chemically tho com-
pounds of tho soil and put them In an
Jwallablo form for tho trees. The
plover crop gathers digests and turns
over to tho tree the plant food which
it has stored.
Nitrate of Seda for Vegetables.
Lay in a supply of nitrate of soda
for uso on tho early vegetables to
stimulate them. Ita use Is Indicated
for beans pease radishes onions and
Hettuce. Give It In solution ono
'ounco to two gallons of water applied
(half a pint to a plant If largo or a
foot of row If small applied In a drill
(made along the rows and covered
with dry soil for a mulch
Cultivating the Soil.
Keep the surfoco of the soil aa loose
and fine as posslblo and tbe soil will
hot lose moisture by evaporation. A
good hoeing 1 often boncficlal aa

GROW ALFALFA OH DRY LAND
Excellent Plan to Select Strain That
Crows Coarse Strong Stalk Drill
6eed Carefully.
In adapting alfalfa to dry fanning
a rerr good plan Is to select a strain
that grow a coarse itrong (talk nse
the tame strain of teed year after year
and thus adapt the plant to local con
dition. We would prefer to pay a i
dollar a pound for teed grown teveral
year under uch condition than to j
us eed at market price tbat ha not I
been acclimated. The alfalfa seed J
from Turkestan which the agrlcnltu- I
rtl department foisted on us several
years ago Is not suited to high table
lands and does better In fields under .
Irrigation which Is Just contrary to tbe (
dope that was handed out to us by
the alleged scientists cays tbe Den-
ver Field and Kara. We should say '
that a sufficient quantity to tow on
dry land It to drill In eight pounds of
seed the acre tiling any of tbe tip-to-date
styles of corn plantera tbat
carry an onion teed plate with holes
thirteen tlxty-fourtbt of an inch In di-
ameter. Drill the teed carefully to the
depth of an Inch. The toll should bo
in perfect condition to assure germl- I
nation of a full and even stand. Hav-
lng drilled tbe teed with a two-row
corn planter the drills are Jutt right
to be cultivated with a common two-
row riding plow. The shovels should
be run to a depth of three inches and
thus compel the alfalfa roots to keep
below the three-Inch toll mulch. It
will probably be necessary to cultivate
five times .during tbe season and alto 1
to break tho toll crust after each rain j
to na to lessen the loss of moisture.

GOOD OATS FOR DRY FARMING
Best Plan to Sow Two Varieties
Kherson for Early Crop and Swed-
ish Select for Late.
(Dy J. E. PAYNE. Colorado Acrloiltural
Colle )
Of tbe many varieties of oats
which we have tetted on Irrigated
land the Kherson and Sixty-day have
generally made the bett yields of
grain. This has been because these
varieties aro early-maturing. Usual-
ly the earliest variety of oats will
give the beat results on unlrrlgated
land; but tome yean tbe drought
comet Just as tbe early varieties are
beading or filling. Tby are then cut
short. It often happens tbat rain
comet Jutt a few days too late to
mako the early oat fill well. In such
a-- time a variety which ripen ten
days or two weeks later will be head-
ing Jutt at tbe right tlmo to bo bene-
fited by tbo rain which was too late
for tho early variety. In this case
.tho later variety will make a good
crop when the early ono will fail.
With these facts before us we can
see tbat It Is a good plan to tan two
varieties of oats: Kherson for curly
and Swedish Select or Colorado No.
37 for tbe late variety; then. If
drought strikes either variety. It may
give a small yield of hay The later
varieties of oats will usually mako
more straw than the early ones so
they may be planted for bay. Land
which hat been In corn tho year be
fore and has been given clean culti-
vation will usually furnish a good
seedbed for oats by double-disking
tbe corn stubble.
Increase Laying Capacity.
Every Intelligent poultry raiser cai
develop' a strain of chickens with In-
creased laying capacity by observing
his flock especially the joung stoqk
during the fall selecting tho p'uliet's
commencing or proparlng to lay and
thus proparo for next tcaton'n breed-
ing a pen of birds that have functions
of egg production strongly developed.
FARM NOTES.
If you havo never crown bead let-
tuce try It for tbo first tlmo this sea-
son. Onions cabbage and tomatces aro
good crops for tho owner of an aero
tract
Next to tbo mowing machine In Im-
portance In ulfalfa harvest Is tho tldo
delivery rako.
Once a week all manure thould bo
cleaned uway from tbe barns and all
rcfuso disposed of.
When watering plants do not forco
water against the plant; let It fall In
the form of a shower
Care for tho young animals so their
growth will not bo stunted. Keep
tbem growing all tho tlmo.
If ou havo soma lino tomato vines
on which tho fruit Is being sun scald-
ed fix them up a llttlo thado.
After tho hay It oft tho meadow wa
can seo Its thin spaces better. Get
budy with the manure spreader
The succulent grasses are rich In
muscle and bone forming materials
and aro loosening and cooling to the
system.
Keep up your dust mulch. Tbo late
vegetables will suffer sovorely for
moisture during tbe dry hot weather
If )ou neglect this.
During tho hot weather the gardon
should rcceho very frequent cultiva-
tion to keep down the weeds and con-
servo tho moisture.
Every gardener should now "mako
hay while tho sun shines." It Is very
essential that wo cultivate our plant
whllo they are young.
As soon as the crop appears aboia
ground It needs cultivation both to
kill tbe weed and to admit tho air
to tho roots of the plants.
Cucumbers for pickles should be
picked every alternate day at least
Cut them but never pull them off a

THE little miss has a much wider
choice In hats than she had a few
years ago Since it became the
fashion to copy shapes made for
grown-ups. In small sizes for young
heads children's millinery bas become
much more interesting to the pur-
chaser and much less taxing In Its
demands on tbe milliner. Tbe variety
In shapes makes it possible also to
suit the child's Individual style.
Two good designs are shown here
suitable for girls from about 8 to 16
bears old. Tbey are made on tbe
familiar bell and helmet shapes and
only differ from these shapes made
ifor grown people. In the matter of
lze. The bell-shaped hat appears to
i Jbe covered with silk but would be
bust as effective in a braid. It Is cov
ered with rows of fine-meshed lace
alternating with motifs In flower
forms made of braid. Tbe petals of
each motif la filled with a figured
Bet
A wreath of small ribbon roses set
In millinery foliage and showing more
bods than blossoms. Is divided and
placed part on tbo uprer right brim
and tbe under left brim. The design
Is particularly good for girls who wear
curls White is tbe color chosen In
this model but any pale tint Is pretty.
GRACEFUL GOWN.
This Is of soft satin draped with
Nlnon-de-Bole of the same color and
trimmed with lace and satin bands
Tho hat Is of tcgal straw trimmed
with roses.
Smart Little Contrivance.
One of tho best dressed women In
New York has Just returned from
Paris with a smart llttlo contrivance
to wear InMdo the coats that are lined
with a color or with black to that
the tomber effect will be relieved for
warm days and pretty lingerie waists
will not be stained. The contrivance
la a little batlsto bolero with elbow
sleeves finished all around with a
row of lace slightly frilled on the edge
of an Inserting of the same kind of
laoa. This Is tacked in lightly at nck

of ribbon In a slightly darker shade
of blue Is laid about tbe base of the
crown finished with a flat rosette fit
tho front made of the same petals.
A short fluffy "made" quill In dark
and Iridescent feathers Is posed at
the left front of tho hat and may b
dispensed with when the hat Is mad
for a very young girl. Tbe same de-
sign Is pretty with small flowers set
In the rlbbonlband at Intervals or with
four rosettes like that at the front
dividing tbe band Into four lengths.
These little shapes stay on well
and provide tome shade for the eyes.
WIde-brlmmed Leghorns and other
straws aro never out of fashion and
probably never will be. Lace bonnets
with simple outlines and fluffy lace
hats nro worn every year. Tho lingerie
bats made of embroideries rind of
flowered fabrics like dimity and cre-
tonne are Ideal for misses made In
simple youthful fashion. The time
has gone by when It was hard to
choose a bat for the little girl or
young miss. She Is sure to bo pleased
among the many styles that tho de-
signers of millinery havo this season
made for her.
GOWNS FOR THE SUMMER
Wide Choice of Colon It Allowed for
the Cottumet of the Pre-
vailing Seaton.
Gowns of liberty satin aro practical
as well as effective and quite as
many colored ns black ones aro made
while the same can be said of ths
soft-tlnlBhed taffeta silks. Many of
theso gowns have Jackets to match
but there Is always a waist to match
tho skirt fashioned In uuch manner
that the appearance Is given of a
one-pieco gown. This stylo Is per-
fectly possible on warm days as well
as cool for yoke and sleeves may be
of transparent material
Extremely practical also are the
coat-and-sklrt costumes for cool days.
In plain color with trimmings ot
striped black and white there is quite
a new model with which Is -worn a
lace waist of white over the color of
tbe gown. It Is of filet and Irish laca
combined. It Is not necessary that
real lace be used to carry out tho
model satisfactorily for there never
was a time when so many effective
imitation lacea could be bought tJ
such low prices. Harper's Dazar.
Restoring Faded Flower.
One may freshen faded artificial
flowers by retlntlng them with water
colors. After they aro tinted curl
tbe petals again with tbe blunt side
of a ense knife.
Notice bow the petals curl back be-
fore tinting them and then curl In a
similar manner and-do not apply the
paints too wet or It will be Impossible
to obtain good results.
Thla Is the best home method ot
restoring flowerj that havo becomt
'aded.
Summer Town Gowns.
Gauze marquisette gingham and
In fact every fashionable weave is
considered smarter this year In stripes
than figured dotted or any fancy de-
signs. Unquestionably stripes glv
slender lines but tbey must be used
with Judgment and the width must be
governed primarily by the height ol
tbo wearer. A short woman should
never ztdopt a wldo stripe pattern and
a young girl must r member that
gown with wide stripes will add many

HEART RIGHT.

'LIfo Insuranco Companies will not'

Tho reason Is obvious.
This Is n serious matter to tho hus-
band or father who Is solicitous for
the futuro of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble Is caused by an un-
expected thing and can bo corrected It
taken In time and proporly treated. A
man In Colorado writes:
"I was a great coffee drinker for
many years and waB not awaro of tho
Injurious effects of tho habit till I
becamo a practical Invalid suffering
from heart trouble. Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that mado
mo wretchedly miserable myself and

"I continued to drink coffeo how-
ever not suspecting that It was tho
cause of my Ill-health till on applying
for lifo Insurance 1 wos rejected on ac-
count of tho trouble with my heart-
Then lbecamo alarmed. I found that
leavlngbff coffeo helped mo quickly so
I quit It altogether and having been

"The chango In my condition was re-
