"John, my love," said hla little wife sweetly, "did you -post -that letter I gave you litis morning?" "Yes. my pet," said John, hiding his consclenocotrickcn face behind the newspaper. "Well, what is your answer?" still more sweoUy. ' "Wh-w-hat is what?" gasped John. "What is your answer, dear?" said his little wife, clearly. "That letter was nddrcsBed to you." "Addressed to me?" exclaimed John. "1 didn't notice It." And then, like a foolish man, ho fell into tho trap and produced the letter from his pocket to see. The envelope was not addressed to him; but a long and sevoro lecturo was hortly after. Newspapers and Literature. All this over emphasis of tho un meaning Bnrfaco is duo to a confusion of newspaper and literary standards, ends, alms. Tho word literary has come to suggest an absence of red blood; Bplnncrn and knitters in the nun; tho 35-cent magazine crowd; this is nonsensical, of course. In its ele mental meaning literature Is at least as stern a Job as Journalism, albeit th? lntentiun and function of tho latter It merely to present things that happen, of tho former to volatlllzo such mate rial into hovering and potent mean ings, to strike the rock and raise a spirit that is Ufa.

Proporly intoraperacd in a rotation, deep-rooted, plants will do a lot of work for us that wo cannot do our selvos, however willing, for wo enn not reach tho sanio depths with Any tillage innchlno, nelthor can wo In stall millions of llttlo pumps to bring back soluble fertility to tho surface. Kven whore seasons nro udvorso to curing alfalfa It can bo used for hog pasturo and work for us day and night throughout a long growing season, says a writer In tho Denver Weekly Post. In tho Irrigated dLtrlcts hogs nro a considerable trouble during tho busy summer senson, but they do harvest a good deal of their own faod. Tho alfalfa must uo dipped, it is true, but wo save tho harvesting. A hard and fast rulo as to when to plow up alfalfa ovory two or threo years will often result In Its destruc tion at tho time it will do Its best ser vice, especially on farms whero it has had an abundance of water and tho roots have not yet penetrated tho hardpan. Investigation with a shovel down four or five feet or less will revcnl but llttlo penetration and that only a little of tho alfalfa's ability to draw fertility from the subsoil has been exerted. Our natural Inclination is to help a plant along all wo can, nnd alfalfa responds so readily to copious watering that frequent ap plications aro sometimes made with good results, so far as tho immedlato crop is concerned, but which develop on Inertia In root growth and causo tho alfalf to feed Inrgely in tho upper soil strata, and this is especially tho case when no cultivation is given tho crop and water passes rapidly over tho surface, soaking It slightly, but nover penetrating tho subsoil. This result la, of course, commoner on clays and impervious soils than on sand or sandy loams, for In theso tho water sinks easily and tho roots descend in search of it. Thorough cultivation will allow the water to descend and bo stored for future uso on heavy soils and encourago deep rooting. There Is a strong tendency from tho start with alfalfa to thin out, becauso the seed sown produces a great number of plants than can find room. As they swell out and reach maturity frequent waterings will keop the stand thicker and result In a finer hay, so that for a year or two it will bo of superior quality. It is about tho third year that tho stronger plants have usually asserted their domlnanco and taken what Beems an undue amount of room. but they will still fill tho space, and If cut somewhat earlier than a thicker growth will not bo conrse or woody, and tho bulk or hay will not be serious ly reduced. , Wo now have our cholco either to break up tho field or run It In alfalfa for a longer period for tho good It does as a subsoller and a nitrogen storer. Which will bo tho best plan depends on a great variety of circum stances, which alone should govern, not some preconceived plan without regard to tho benefits tho nlfalfa may or may not bo far havo exerted on the subsoil to anything llko Its full capacity for betterment. If tho water supply is somewhat limited wo havo a crop which Is eminently adapted to holp itself and make a profit whero a sballowor rooted one will fall, and meanwhile it exerts itself to go after, tho water and deepens our soil for ensuing crops. If, on tho other hand, tho alfalfa has already gono down ten or twelve feet it may havo accomplished about all it Is capable of doing In tho tlmo land can bo devoted to this crop. Ono of tho fow plants that can bo sown with much success In alfalfa to thicken It up 1b winter ry,e, which doeB well, very much increasing tho bulk of tho first cutting and being palatablo cured and stneked with tho alfalfa. Chicory seems to bo ablo to take hold, so far as I hirvo been able to test It, but It needs a longer trial before rec ommendation. Even whero alfalfa is to be broken up In tho Bprlng some crop to fill up and glvo a more sod llko texture to the breaking which will withstand tramping is highly desir able.

By tho third year all vines should havo erect, straight stems with two or mom' canes growing from tho prin cipal part, out of which tho head or crown 1b to bo formed and from which tho growth of tho vino Is to bo ro newod from year to yoar.
