an Eastern Kansas exchange is of

DI FFERNENT

If Alfalfa longed, to awe a hat, the
like of whioh abed ne'er gazed at,
she racked, her busy brain. tor
every hat she'd had before, she
found they'll gone and Wade some
more, and they were just the
same.
IT Alfalfa looked all over town, it
raised a rather nasty frown, she
went fromdoor to door; she grew a
blister on her heel, was vexed as
any one could feel, so she would
look no more.
Ir Alfalfa took tine tamely car,
she'd travel wide and journey far,
distinction was her aim; to see an-
other that like hers, deep grief and
disappointment sties, and gave Al-
falfa pain.
And thus Alfalfa shopped and
Iooked, 'and finally was sold and
hooked, no lougel' she felt flat; she
drove away toward home with glee,
as. gay as any maid could be, with
her dietinotive hat.
The folk who sold' the hat re-
joiced, glad feelings 'there were
freely voiced like happiness in
spring; they said' they feared they
had' been struck, and were com-
pletely out of luck iirey'd never
sell the thing,

Lawn Care
Thin' lawns badly mixed with
weeds, alatlo51 invariably have poor
soil, Sometimes only a liberal ap-
plication of commerolal fertilizer or
well rotted manure Is necesary to
restore rich greenness, Well fell
grase will usually crowd out most
weeds, though it well appreciate
some heap from the gardener who
does not mind spending a few hours
with a shone, long or shout handled
weeder. Such.. weeding slimed be
done when soft is fairly motet,
otherwiee whole chunks of grass
will comae out •*1111 each weed.
Where graft is very thin it will

waitb rake and sow some good seed.
At the sante time holes muy be ail-
ed u.P gradually with good soil and
sown with grass.
First Vegetables

These may be planted' as soon as
the ground Is fit to work. All of
the seeds should be sown at least
three times at intervals of ten days
so that 'there will be sntccesslou of

tr' , ea., which can stand; a little

It is a good plea, old gardeners
state, to use started annual flowers

cases may be. treated with sand or
ordinary coal 'ashes, from stove or'

manure and good cultivation wd11
help and also digging under green
crops of clover, oats or just weeds.
Where very damp it may be neces
sary to provide drainage either by
open ddten, tile or by removing a
foot or two of the top soil and pat-
ting in a layer of cinder, stones or
gravel. This practise is particu-
larly desirable for preparing a rose
bed.
Light soils also benefit by beavy
apllcations of manare, rotted vege-
table matter or dhg in green Crops.
This will increase their litmus con.
tent and allow theme to absorb and
hold moisthl-e. Light soils, of eorrse
wail not require the constant cul-
tivation neoeesary with heavy types.
Summer Gardens
Where one has a summer cottage
that will not be visited until June,
the usual practice is to start practic-
ally all the garden in flat boxes at
.home. Later these are taken, well
grown out to the garden by the
Bake. Stich things as lettuce, car-
rots, beets onions, even, corn can
all be started in boxes or pots and
moved very oaredully. It Is a good
idea to Stant in individual berry or
special cardboard box and simply
remove box when planting.
