The pocket is most neat and business

There is a serviceable outer pocket
which serves as a purse and ticket re

have an inner leather lining.
GIFTS FOR COLLEGE MEN.
Chrlatmaa Presents That "Will Malta
Their Rooms Attractive.
At Christmas there are many girls
who want to give college men some
thing for their rooms, but when It
comes to a selection of a suitable gift
their troubles begin. A novelty In this
line was given a Columbia university
man recently a photograph holder
made ,of the college colors. It was
about three feet long and eight Inches
wide, formed by two long strips of
light blue and white (the college colors)
brocade overlapping. Across It at In
tervals of ten inches were pockets
three inches deep made of the same
brocade. The case was tacked to the
wall by a rosette of blue and white.
For a Princeton man the colors would
be orange and black and a Yale man's '
blue. Plain satin might be used In
stead of brocade. - . i

known to every girl, but she does not
always remember when selecting some
thing for his room that dishes are nec
essary for tea. Teacups, plates, quaint
spoons and dishes for sandwiches or
cakes will never come amiss as a pres
ent Some china should be bought that
is decorated with masculine looking de
signsnothing that would suggest a
pink tea.
Leather Chair Cushion.
, A thing which every girl can make
herself is a chair cushion not the em
broidered kind at which the masculine
mind scoffs,, but one of leather. Mis
sion furniture and other' heavy types
abound in college rooms, and even for
"team" backs they may be safely sof
tened. These cushions should be made
of ooze or other soft leathers. They
are cut almost square and are the size
of the chair seat and back. They are
stuffed with hair or down to the. thick
ness of not more . than two inches.
Leather tabs should be put at the cor
ners by which to fasten the cushions.
Then there is always a desk to be
furnished. If a girl has sufficient senti
ment to wish to make something she
can keep her gift quite on the mascu
line order. Letter racks of wood may
be bought and covered with fine French
tapestry pasted on and finished with a
narrow gilt braid. A portfolio cover of
soft leather is also serviceable, and a
clock case is not as expensive as It
sounds. A dock that will keep good
time may be bought for $2, and the
case may be made of light wood just
large enough to admit the face through
the. front, which should have a hinged
door. The case is then covered either
with leather or tapestry, a handle of
the material being placed across the
top.
Envelope For Clippings.
Every man likes something to hold
clippings. Take six large envelopes
and put them together so that the flaps
all face the same way. Take two
pieces of cardboard a little larger than
the envelopes, and cover with fancy
paper or with cloth. Letter with writ
ing or outline, "Favorite Clippings."
Lay covers and envelopes evenly to
gether at the bottom, and with a sharp
knife make a gash " an Inch from each
of the two ends and run a, ribbon
through these with a ribbon ceedle.
Leave It loose, and tie hi a knot. At
tach ribbon at top for tying.
A Type With Special Advantages In
American Farming-.
By CHARLES J. BRAND, bureau of
plant industry.
Two great objections have long been
made against red clover culture in the
area where it can be grown. One is
that the hay crop matures at a time
when the farmer's best interests de
mand that he be either cultivating his
corn or harvesting his small grains.
The other is involved in the fact that
perhaps the most satisfactory or at
least the most popular method of seed
ing clover for hay or pasture is in mix
tures containing either one or several
the persistence ui mc umm m-,
the succulence of the stems, which im
proves greatly the quality of the. hay
and reduces the waste due to woody,
uneatable portions, by greater palata
bility than hay from domestic seed
and by the fact that it coms to proper
maturity for harvesting from ten days
to two weeks later than the ordinary
American red clover.
Except in certain sections and for
certain purposes this variety is not
recommended for supplanting domestic
red clover, but rather for supplement
ing the latter.
Although the hairless Orel clover can
be readily distinguished from the
PLANT OF HAIEIiESS OltEZi CLOVEE, ALMOST

of a number of grasses. Of these the
most important by far is the clover
timothy mixture, and against this it
has ever been argued that the clover
matures so much hi advance of the
timothy that the feeding value of either
the one or the other is sacrificed on
account of the time of harvesting.
In the course of an extensive experi
ment with clover seeds from different
sources there appeared a variety hither
to not used in the United States, pos
sessing certain advantageous qualities
which make it desirable to introduce it ;
Into American farming.
The seed of this variety was secured
from the "black earth" region in the
eastern part of the Orel government of
Russia. The soil and climate of this
section resemble strikingly those of
our own northwestern prairie country,
particularly Nebraska, Minnesota and
the Dakotas. .' ' ;
This variety is distinguished by the
dustlessness of its hay, due to almost
complete absence of hairiness from all
parts of the plant, by its heavy yields
for the first crop, by. its leafloefyi and

American form on the field, there is no
apparent difference in the seed. The
department of agriculture has at the
present time no seed for general dis
tribution. x
Before purchasing seed from foreign
Bources farmers are urged to assure
themselves as far as possible as to the
genuineness of the seed.
Much Water and Small Yield.
It frequently happens that fields
which have received large quantities of
irrigation water produce low yields.
This result may be due to one or more
causes. Chief in importance is the
proper cultivation of the soil. It may
be regarded as one of the fundamental
truths in agriculture that irrigation
cannot take the place of cultivation.
The western Irrigator has been slow to
recognize this fact and is still inclined
to depend too much on irrigation and
too little on cultivation.
Failure of Alfalfa.
" The failure of alfalfa west of the
Cascade mountains is frequently due
to the lack of nodule forming bacteria
In the soil. If the land to be sown has
never grown alfalfa before It Is the
safest plan to artificially introduce
these organisms. This may be done
either by soil inoculation or the use of
bacterial cultures.
