Miss Eleanor Phalln was very pleas­ antly surprised last Tuesday evening, when about thirty-five of her friends met at her home for an evening's pleasure. Miss ISiesnor was told that a trip up to the lakes was planned, so Tuesday morning she came down town so as to be ready to start early in the morning. Forgetting her pocket book she decided to go home that evening. She reached there about nine o'clock and found the house dark and silent. Upon entering the lights were sudden­ ly turned on and revealed the thirty- five guests. Out door games and music were enjoyed. Several readings from Mrs. George Phalin of Alabama, Miss Eleanor Phalin John Bolgerand Wal­ ter Conway were thoroly appreciated. Mrs. George Phalin also introduced her colored maid, Caroline, (otherwise known as Frances Welch). She fa­ vored the audience with a vocal selec­ tion. Ice cream and cake were served and at a late hour the guests departed, all declaring Miss Eleanor a delightful hostess. ALTALFA GOOD FOR HEAVES. A prominent horse owner says that before alfalfa came into use cm his farm there were nearly always one or more horses with heaves, but since alfalfa haa been used not one case of this disease has developed, and that colic in his horses is a rare thing and would probably never occur again if the men did not occasionally feed in­ judiciously of corn, or over-feed with alfalfa hay. Alfalfa leaves and stems are free from the small hairs that cover red clover leaves and stems and which catch dust and Irritate the branchial passage of the horse; this is one reason that alfalfa is better than clover for horses.

Shepard, near Ridgetield, is do­ ing some valuable experimenting with alfalfa and alfalfa seed. He has ar­ ranged his fields in plots in such a manner as to make it appear much like professional experimental station. He has been conducting this line of work for some time and will soon un­ doubtedly have some valuable'results for the farmers of the vicinity which will Joe of practical use. He has col­ lections from eleven states of the Union, and in this waff he will be able to demonstrate just what type will be best suited to the climate in Illinois. Mr. Shepard is enthusiastic in his work and has used a great deal of tiine and energy in working out some of his tests. He has alfalfa on his farm now that is fifteen inches high and was planted May 15. Asked what he con­ sidered the essentials in growing alfal­ fa successfully he said "Better drain­ age and better seed." Mr. Shepard's seed plots are 12 feet wide and about 100 feet long, the different types of seed being separated by a space of about 12 inches. Mr. Shepard has gathered data of all kinds relative to alfalfa seed and the growing of alfalfa until his fund of information is about as extensive as that of Secretary Co- burn of Kansas. We learned from our conversation with him that Oklahoma produces the largest amount of seed of any state in the Union. Kansas also ranks high, Jewell county in that state producing more than the entire state of Mem tana. It will be interesting to note Mr. Shepard's results in alfalfa experimentation.
