(Prepared by the United States Depart

It Is prnctlcally impossible to try to
make an old alfalfa field look like new
by attempting to sow more seed after
disking or cultivating In the fall.
Thousands of dollars' worth of seed
are wasted In unsuccessful attempts
to revive the waning stand of nlfalfa.
Specialists recommend that fields on
the decline should be plowed up and
reseeded. t
Even though tho seed germinates
successfully, the plants mature at
periods different from thogo of the old
plants, while ordinarily the young
plants are smothered out before they
make much growth. Kvcn where nn
alfalfa field Is patchy and covered
with practically bare spots, it is not
advisable to attempt to rcseed except
by breaking up the entire field and
again sowing down with nlfalfa.
Not Profitable to Cultivate.
It is always objectionable, according
to tho specialists, to cultivate or disk

and condition, ns carefully conducted
experiments have shown that the only
section In which It was profitable to
cultivate tho alfalfa crop in any way
was in the Irrigated belt of the far

Usually unfavorable results attend
where nlfalfa is disked under eastern
conditions, although in the case of nl

Dr. Hohlnson, director of the Metro

has Identified an antique marble bust,
which has been In the museum's store

portrait of Herodotus, "the father of
history." The marble, which has lain
In dust all these years, will now as

There nre but five known portraits
of Herodotus. The New York portrait
bust was originally found at Dentin,
In Lower Egypt, and passed Into the
possession of Emll Brugsch Bey, from
whom It was acquired and presented
to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.
The recognition was based on the re
semblance of the known portraits and
the finding of the learned man's name
Inscribed upon It. As a work of art It
was not very highly regnrded, but as
the sixth known portrait of Herodotus
It assumes new dignity. It Is nlso said

Plow Up Alfalfa Sod.
The best plan, where the alfalfa sod

wear, Is to plow jp tho field and do
vote It to some cultivated crop, such
ns corn, for one or two years, and then
to resced It to alfalfa after preparing
n proper seed bed, liming tho soil if
neccssnry, properly suoeulnting tho
soil or seed, and sowing the seed early
enough in the fall so that the crop
will establish n vigorous root system
and produce sufficient growth to wcath

ROOFED SILO IS PREFERRED
Helps Prevent Freezing of Silage,
Keeps Out Snow and Protects
Walls of Silo.
my It. I. PATTY, South Dakota Experi
ment Station.)
The old notion that It Is unnecessary
to roof the silo was wrong. Experience
shows thnt a silo roof helps to prevent
the freezing of the silage, keeps out
snow, protects tho silo walls when
empty, and thereby ndds to Its life
service.
The roof Is necessary on a stavo silo
to give It rigidity In nddltlon to protec
tion. If the roof Is put on after tho
silo Is filled, no Inside scaffolding Is
necessary.
Common types of silo roofs aro
shingled, concrete, light hollow brick,
prepared roofing on tight sheathing
and metal. Tho roof should tnntch the
silo. If one builds n fire and wind
proof silo, he should by all means pul
on a fire and wlndprooof roof. The roof
should be made to last ns long ns the
silo. A short-lived roof should not bo
put on a long-lived silo.

Suzanne Lenglcn, tho world's tenuis

"How queer?" said a golfer.

" 'Seven.' said father.
"'It's my hole, then,' said tho Ger
man. 'I did It In live.'
" 'Father didn't say anything, but
when tho German asked him at tho
second green how many strokes he had
taken he laughed.
"'No. you don't, Ilerr Snuerkraut'
ho said. This time It's my turn to ask

names of states and cities are abbrevi

cer abbreviates "potatoes" to "spuds"
and condenses "crackers" to "crax."
Tho butcher writes "PC" when ho
means "pork chops," nnd tho chemist
shortens "wntpr" to "Il-U-O." Tho
printer, referring to "n mass of balled

Likewise, the sport writers character
ize the "knock out" ns "KO." The
doctor Indicates "sod-cne" when be
wants "sodium encodylate.''
Hut abbreviations nre not confined
to words. The VnnkB abbreviated the

breviated tho purchasing power of o
dollar. The airplane has abbreviated
space, nnd electricity has abbreviated
time itself. The laundry ofien abbrevi
ates the size of one'H new shirt. Fash

There Is, however, such n thing ns
abbreviating too much. For In France,
a bnthlng suit is considered sufficient
