Humiliated by Accident, Collie Aban doned All Religion. At the disruption in 1843 the bulk of the shepherds joined the Free Kirk. But one collie held by the Established principle, and refused to "come out." Every Sabbath he went alone to the Established church, where he had been wont to accom pany his master. His master ref.d to coerce him. "'Na,na , he said, "he's a wise dowg: I'll no meddle wi' his convictions." The collie's ad herence to the Establishment haa, however, a disastrous end. He was accustomed to lie during the sermon on the pulpit stairs, no doubt better to hear the discourse. Below him were placed the long stovepipe hats of the elders. On one unfortunate day he fell asleep, rolled off his step and managed to get his head firmly fixed inside one of the hats. Bitterly mortified, the dog fled from the Kirk, and ever afterward, as his master said, "had nae trokings wi' reloeg ion."-The Spectator. Facts About Alfalfa. Alafalfa seed weighs sixty pounds to the bushel. For a hay crop, sow twenty to thirty pounds of seed per acre. For a crop of seed, sow four teen to eighteen pounds per acre Sow clean seed. Sow alone, without any nurse crop. The latter is often just as harmful as the weeds. Screen alfalfa seed before sowing. to separate the dodder and other weed seed. Dodder is the worst enemy of alfalfa. North of the latitude of Washing ton, sow alfalfa in the spring, as soon as the ground is warm-from the middle of April to the middle of May. Sow in drills or broadcast. In the south and southwest and in Califonia sow alfalfa in spring or au tum. Sow in drills. Do not cover the seed too deep. Alfalfa does not attain maturity un til the third of fourth year; there fore. do not sow it expecting to get the best results in less time. Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy lom underlaid by a loose and per masable subsoil. It will not grow if there is an excess of water in the soil. The land must be well drained. Alalfa is a deep feeder. Plow land deeply. Cut for hay when the first flowers appear. If cut in full bloom, the hay will be woody and less nutritious. Cut for seed when the middle clus ters of seed pods are dark brown. To make alfalfa hay, cut in the forenoon and let it wilt; then rake in towindrows. It should be cured in -:indrows and cocks, and stacked or put in barns with as little handling as p)ossible, befoi- the valuable leaves - hecome too dray and brittle. it is not safe to pasture either cat tle or sheep on alfalia, as they ar.e lia ble to bloat when i: is fed green. Feed them the hay. or practice soil There is no better or che.uer wa. of growing hogs than to pasture thcm on alfalfa. One acre will furnish pas turage for from ten to twenty hogs per season. Horses can be nastured on alfalia. Alfalfa is a perennial, a clover-like plant with oblong-sh aped leaves, and a in root wh.c> often exteni is eight or m'ore feet e.'wnward. Tn'e 'lant grows to a.heigtht of from two to, five icet, and its blowe a-~ e puirpl~ i: color, borne in long, loose clusters. Alfalfa hay is not a complete rat.n. L The best results are got by feeding it L.. with corn fodder, ensliage, wheat or oat straw,. or roots. Alfalfa contains large amounts of protein. Do not cut alfalfa too late in the season. It can be cut from three or four to seven or eight times in a sea son, and yields from a ton to a ton and a half or mnre at a cutting. vllcl't p(-r acre. ff the first season. or the\- will choke out the crop. The necessary bacteria must be in the ground. or alfalfa cannot properly grow. This, however. may be accom plished in other ways than through Uncle Sam's "yeast cakes." For in stance: Soil may be taken from a field where alfalfa thrives and lightly sprinkled on another field where al falfa will not grow. 'Tis said, too, that soil taken from a field where sweet clover grows, may be success fully used t o inoculate an alfalfa field. Whether or not alfalfa is a hardy, profitable crop in northern and east ern states (say north of Philadelphia) is as yet a disputed question. But in some instances it has been success fully grown as far north as Canada. Love in the Chin. The chin has always been consid ered to be a means of judging the possessor's character, and it is sur prising to witness the faith many people have in that special portion of the face. Many a man has been trusted because he had a firm chin. the observer not realizing that the differnce between firmness and ob stinacv or brute force is sometimeb hard to distinguish. But it seems that the chin is aiso to be considered in affairs of the heart, and this reveals interesting possibilities to the student in phy siognomy. The pointed, narrow chin points to an unsatisfied longing for an ideal, and is, therefore unfortun ate in love as its ideals are seldom found. On the other hand, a square narrow chin shows a loving nature, and its owner will marry the man she loves, be he rich or poor aoove or below her in the social scale. It is dangerous for such a nature to be un fortunate in love, as it will seriously affect her nature, and she is some times of a jealous disposition. A broad round chin betrays an ar dent, loving, faithful disposition-one that may be trusted as capable of an ardent, steadfast affection for rs o3 ject. The indented chin, which is often wrongly confounded with a dimpled chin, shows an enormous longing tor affection and a miserable existence if such love is denied to its possessor. So, after all, it may be the chin tnad is responsible for many cases of a mutual attraction wvhich seems mn comprehended to the mere observ er of the proceeding. The Snubbed One. Boston Globe.
