THE Brooklyn Citizen is the latest newspa-
per candidate for Democratic favor in the City
of Churches. A new Democratic newspaper in
Brooklyn would seem to the undiscriminating
non-partisan public to be something of super
fluffy, but the Citizen assures its readers that
it is the only Democratic daily published there
leaving it to be inferred that sundry and divers
other journals which have been posing as true
blue are but base limitations. However, in
Brooklyn. as everywhere else, there is great
variety Of Democrats, and the new enterprise
will doubtless fill want felt by some of them
The Citizen has the advantage of being much
handsomer sheet than any of its local contem-
poraries, and has also the remarkable Pc
culiarity for new paper of appearing like an
old and staid journal, with no youthful crudities
marring any of its features.

BISHOP MERRILL of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in an article on prohibition in the cur
rent issue of the Western Christian Advocate,
says:
1.-THE attempt to use it for party purposes is a
weakness. 1t is too big for restriction within
party lines and the interests involved in it are
too sacred to be subjected to party machinery.
My concern Is that it be kept in shape for ad-
vocacy on its merits in the pulpits, the Sunday
schools, the day schools, and in the homes of the
people, and wherever truth may be pressed on
the conscience without the helps or hindrances
of party prejudices. If this non partisan ad-
vocacy embarrasses the party, that only proves
the failure of the party to represent the cause.
The cause is principle: the party is method, and
the method is too small for the principle By it's
confession of embarrassment from the non par
tisan advocacy the party confesses itself to be
an embarrassment to the cause"

A PAPER calling itself ''The Mugwump" has
been started at Centerview, Mo. It's object is
ito introduce some new thoughts or ideas into

don't know what mugwump is, and as the first
idea to be introduced it should be explained to
the thinking populace of Centerview that the
mugwump is person or paper who wants to be-
come Democratic by degrees instead of jumping
into the party by single hop and skip In
Missouri definition of this sort will have a
tendency to smooth matters for the editor Of
such paper especially if he stops right there
and doesn't add that the mugwump expects to
run the party when he gets into it.

RAISING FLAX.
Directions for the Preparation of the
Ground and Sowing.

Directions for the Preparation of the
Ground and Sowing.
One can raise good flax crop on
almost any land, provided the soil is
worked fine. The most important
requisite for raising crop of flax for
seed is to have the ground free from
weeds. DO not SOW until all danger OF
frost is over. Ii the ground has been
plowed the previous autumn or early
spring, it must be thoroughly pulver-
lied. A pulverizer, shovel plow, har-
row or roller, whichever is at hand,
will do the work. If plowcd late, Just
before sowing, follow the plow closely
by the harrow orrollcr, day by day, to
keep the ground moist and in fine filth.
Then if it lies few days and warm
rain comes, so much the better. But
do not neglect thorough pulverization
just before sowing, as in that lies the
whole secret of keeping the soil clear of
weeds.
Sow from one peck to half bushel
of seed per acre; drag in with not too
heavy harrow, and by all means fol-
low with roller or plank clod-crusher,
'tS thiu iiiSuito coNciiIiS5 tilc occu cNeull,
and in case there is no immediate rain
it will insure more of the seed growing.
Cut when fully ripe. Those that have
self-rakers can leave them in the gavels
just as dropped. Those having binders
or headers let the flax run in continu-
Gus stream and stack as soon as well
dried. Just here many make the mis-
take of leaving it out. Rain on it
bleaches the seed, rots the straw and
bothers the machines in threshing.
To raise flax on prairie sod is quite n
different matter. Success in that case
depends largely upon having good
rain just after 1t has been sown. 1t is
best on sod to plow narrow furrow fur
rows, even in depth and width, SO as to
leave the surface level and smooth. The
narrower the burrows the more seed will
be likely to grow, as it will drop in
along the ridges of the furrows. Har-
rowing does not amount to much on
raw sod, as it makes little impression.
Something that will out. like coulter
cultivator, is the best thing. One or
two good rains just after seeding are
worth more than all the work that can
be done with any implement made
