Remembrances of the Pigtail. fl’ alst long pigtails were the fash ionable wear In England about 1740, and before that the bag wig had been adorned with a pigtail looped up In a black silk bag. As late as 1858 an old gentleman was seen In Loudon with hls gray hair tied behind In a short cue, and even today ons can find a relic of the pigtail, for the three pieces of black velvet on the dress tunics of officers In the Royal Welsh Fuslleers are the remains of the rib bon with which c.<. was tied. By the election o f her husband to the important position of chairman of London county council, Lady Cbeylesmore, an American woman, be comes in a sense the "First Lady of 1 London.” The county council, of course, la the real governing body of the greater city, and the position of chairman corresponds in a general way to that of mayor of a city like New York, the so-called lord mayor of London "ruling” over only the old city o f London— about a square mile In area. Furthermore, Lord Chaylesmore himself Is half American. Hls mother was Charlotte Harman of New Orleans and he Is a living example of the advantage o f wedding the hus tling, practical qualities of the Amer ican with the liberal conservative qual ities of the best English aristocracy. m Lady Cheylesmore, who was Elizabeth French, daughter of F. O. French at New York, has become one o f the most popular and respected women In English society. She Is tall and hand some, and possesses that dignity which is so highly valued In this country. Although she has never entertained on a big scale, her affairs are pojv ular and there Is keen competition to be numbered among her guests. Her town house In Prince’s Gate, fronts on the south side of Hyde Park, a couple o f doors west of the London home of J. Plerpont Morgan, in which the American banker shelters hls unrivalled collection of art treasures. S U G G E S T E D A S V IC E -R E IN E \ ‘ * ( P R J N D E R ’S I N EW QUEEN T O B R IN G G A IETY Alexandrine, the new queen of'D en mark, promises to delight her subjects. Queen Louise lived austerely, despite her great wealth (more than $15,000,- 000), and the French blood in her veins that come from the Bernadotte line to which she belonged. It Is said of her that she never attended a theatri cal performance or a ball. Queen Alex andrine Is far more pleasure-loving, and the court, when the period of mourning has passed, may well be ex pected to take on a gaiety It has not shown for some years. The queen Is a sister o f the crown princess of Ger many. Their mother Is Orandduchess Anastasia, a shining light In society on the Rlvlffra, whose liveliness and un- conventionality sometimes make Em peror William nervous. Thongh Queen Louise Is rich In her own right, she Is thrifty, and as she held the purse strings during her hus band's reign, the Danish royal family maintains Its reputation of being pov ■ her sovereign only about $250,040 erty stricken. Denmark can afford to al state to compare with the other a year, which la not enough to support European monarchs. whose civil list (salaries) run into millions. Many Americans are already among the Intimates o f Christian and Alex andrine.

In this country for a century and a half It haa assumed a more and more Important role in con serving the natural resources o f the soil, thereby tending to maintain the profitable yields of the staple agri cultural products.

Even where It Is cut for hay and only the roots and stubble turned under it has a marked Influence in increasing the yields of succeeding crops. It makes an Ideal hay for cattle and In the clover sections should constitute from one-half to two-thirds of the roughage ration o f milk cows. Sheep and young stock of all kinds make ex cellent gains on either the pasture or the hay. In addition to its usefulness as a food for animals it has a most Important effect upon the land In maintaining the supply of nitrogen In the soil. By means o f the nitrogen- fixing organism on Its roots the red clover plant Is able to gather large quantities of nitrogen from the air and leave It In the soil In a form which can readily be utilized for growing crops. If not Infrequently happens that the yield of a grain crop can be doubled by the growing and plowing under of a crop of clover. The most serious problem at present confronting the American farmer In many of the clover sections Is the In creasing difficulty o f succeas.'ully maintaining stands o f clover upon the farm. With continuous cropping and the consequent depletion o f the soil of humus and plant food the difficulty of growing red clover Is greatly In creased. This condition must be met and solved, since the loss o f clover or Its equivalent from the rotation leads rapidly to a run-down farm and un profitable crop yield. It should be emphasized, however, that the mere Introduction of red clover Into the farm rotation la not In itself a sufficient procedure to main tain Indefinitely the productivity of the* farm. The clover plant adds only the nitrates to the soil, and removes large quantities of potash, phosphorus and lime from the soil, especially when cut for hay and the manure re- iultlng therefrom Is cot returned to the land. The Increased supply of oltrcgen may In fact stimulate the soil to Increase yields, temporarily, anly to leave It, after a few years, In a condition worse than If no clover had been grown. It Is Important that considerable care be taken In choosing the seed to be sown. I f poor seed Is used, the ex pected crop may be a partial or total failure. Red clover seed may be poor and undesirable from several point* of view. Such seed Is constantly being •old to farmers and should bs recog nized and rejected, tl may be pocrly lev eloped. many seeds being shriveled •cd dull brown In color. 8uch seeds will not produce plants.
