Spring or Fall Flowing.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

CoI' DUuHtry NtHtienlHH.
In reading the article entitled Gan
Ohio BLUEGRASS Farm" by Mr.. Pow
ers, the old question Of "who shall
decide when doctors disagree" sug-
gests itself Mr. p. is advising as to
proper treatment of certain soils. The
soil to which he refers is clay. In
stances are given showing the mad
visibility of fall blowing on clay soil.
He mentions the superior corn crops
obtained on late spring plowed land,
over those planted on land turned
over during previous autumn.
These are all cited as proofs of his
opinion. Now, | have farm which
is mainly clay or clay loam-pretty
flat, and not very well underdrained.
Several years of tolerable close obser-
walton on experiments conducted
with view partly to determine upon
the merits of fall blowing, and partly
because in thus experimenting, my
farm work was facilitated and push
ed forward, has convinced me that
every farmer in treatment of his own
land is justified in becoming a law
unto himself.
think | can now see whence comes
the obstinacy and hard-headedness
popularity attributed to the typical Ia
boring farmers in matters pertaining
to farming. Practical knowledge OF
cause and effect during years of plod.
ding on his own soil, he considers,
has assured him of what he can and
what he cannot do with it.
The trials made on my own place
resulted-with corn-in favor of fall
blowing; with potatoes, in favor OF
spring blowing. In an experiment
with corn, seven acres in q field o.
nine acres were plowed in the fall
the remaining two acres in May fol

alike as to manure and cultivation
The corn from its early incipiency

Later on, as the crop advanced to

This is best for two reasons: 1t pre-
vents cutting up the beds and injuring

CHURCH AND KNIGHTS.

So far as we are advised Of the ac-
tion had at Baltimore, il Is apparent that
the Catholic Church proposes and de-
sires to maintain amicable relations
with the Knights of Labor To those
who are disposed to cavil at this action
as suggestive of worldly wise eXpedi-
ency rather than of profound religious
conviction, we can only say that it is
in the line of reason, justice and con-
sistency.
Not only is there no occasion for the
Church to autagonize the labor organ
izations, but occupying the conserva-
tive and Influential position 1t does,
we should consider it a public misfor.
tune for any rupture to occur between
them.
The Church holds that so long as
the principles and actions of the order
are free Of all oath bound conceal.
ments, there can be no tcnable obiec
ton TO the secrecy with which its
merely ceremonial and disciplinary
machinery is invested The general
object of the Knights Of Labor-thc
Improvement Of the condition Of the
working classes-is one that commeuds
itself to chUrchmen as well as laymen.
1t is only in regard to the accomplish
ment of ends by violent and illegal
methods and Interference with the
rightful liberty of others by boycolts
and similar unwarrantable proceedings
that the Church finds itself at variance
with the organization.
Here again the Church places itself
in accord with public sentiment and
upon the side of social order, thus
erecting another powerful bulwark
against aggressive encroachmeuts on
the rights and interests of the people,
1t Is for this reason that we should
regard it public misfortune for the
Church to make declaration of war
upon the knights of Labor, thereby
neutralizing its vast influence for good
and loosening the restraints both of re-
ligious duty and civil obligation. The
attitude of the Church with regard to
this question is on the side of the lar
gest personal liberty and at the same
time compatible with all the require
ments of good citizenship and the best
interests of the community at large.
If there is any expediency in it, it is
oXpediency founded on common sense.
Besides, it is always expedient to be
