The pocket is most neat and business like whon carried out in good chamois leather, the waist strap and pocket sup ports being composed of thicker leath er. The waist strap fastens with a small buckle to render it more secure. The pocket is "built". over a stout card board foundation, and the outside leather must be fitted with its various eompartuieuts before fastening to the cardboard. These compartments are five in num ber. They are made of chamois leather. and the edges are either pinked out or bound with narrow rib bon. They fasten with small pearl A buttons and loops, and it would be as well to let a saddler machine them in their places, as there would be no danger then f the stitches giving way, and he could at the same time attach the small hang ing strap pieces to the top of the pocket. You will see by the cut that all the traveler's requisites are thought of. Jew els, cards, loose money, checks and tickets have appointed places . and are quite 'easy to get at. The back of the pocket Is covered with chamois leather to correspond with the front, and the total cost of making Is small, neatness and strong sewing: being, however, most essential.

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 That college men are constantly giv- log mall and select teas Is quire well FAVORITE CLIPPINGS. 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 MATUKE. 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 STEMS OF AMERICAN AND OF HATTtTiTMS OEEL CLOVES. 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.
