IEE petition prepared under the
auspices Of the Anti-Asiatic Union,
for circulation for signatures to be
presented to the Legislature at the
approaching session, has been widely
published through this and other
Journals Its style tells in every par
agraph that the author is none other
than the president of that organiza-
ton. If the members of the Union
desire TO have due influence in pro
noting whatever may be legitimate
and there Is doubtless much of that
in their purposes, they must not be
led away by the wild and incoherent
theories Of Mr.. Marques. This pro-
duction Of his bears the stamp of
unconstituhonality in its almost every
proposition, while its general tenor is
Q1ixotic, unreasonable and impracti
cable To pass such laws as those
Nr0pOsed the Legislature would be
simply imposing upon the Supreme
Court labor IN declaring them void
which might be spared for the dis
charge Of necessary judicial functions.

A STRANGE and pathetic story is
told by the Newcastle, England,
Chronicle. It shows that " the ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain" for which the "heathen Chi
nee" are peculiar, have brought sor-
row to a home in that country. A
Chinese gunnery student at Elswick
inveigled an innocent Newcastle girl
of respectable parentage into a spuri
ious marriage ceremony, that was
performed in secret owing to her
parents refusing consent to the
union. Afterward, contrary to par
entail protests, the young woman
departed for China with her Mon
golian mate. They were accompa-
MED by another Chinaman, who also
bore off a Newcastle girl he had won.
At the railway station The mother of
the first girl told the Chinaman that
she believed he had wife in China.
John Indignantly denied the charge,
and said his English wife would be
kept by MIN in grand style amidst
orange trees and flowers in China.
The sequel is a letter from an Eng
lish doctor at Shanghai a year later,
telling the disconsolate mother that
her daughter had been deserted, was
being cared for in his house, and as
soon as possible would be sent home
to England with her baby girl, then
a few weeks old. Chinese officials
were stated in the letter to have been
very angry with the returned China
man and ''reprimanded him severely.n

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moments when surrender becomes in
evltable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body sufiices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
o.her cases little aid TO the weakened

mining, transportation, and allied
pursuits. The agriculturists, as a
body, are not "organized' in this way,
partly owing to their comparative lso-
lation, and partly to the fact that q
definite number of hours for a days
work is hardly compatible with the
ceaseless toll of the farmer. Neverthe.
less farm workers must feel an interest
III the welfare of other laborers, partic.
ularly as it is an axom with the speci-
alists in the labor problem, that an in
crease in the profits Of labor on the
farm will cause an improvement in the
wages of labor generally. IF this is
SO, and if the oranges and other organ
izations among farmers are the means
of profit and advancement to those for
whom they are conducted, briefsta.e-
ment Of results in the most important
labor organizations in this country will
be Of interest to the farming community.
Before doing this, however, it is well
to note the progress Of the "Earmer
Alliance, in some parts Of the country.
This organ ization makes a speciality
of cooperative buying and selling.
In Texas it is estimated that the far
mers have saved 100000 in cotton
ginning alone this last year. There
are twenty thousand members in that
State. In Iowa, Dakota, Nebraska,
Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and Mime.
sofa the Alliance has doubled and even
trebled its numbers. Ohio increases
local Alliances at the rate of dozen a
week. Thirteen hundred Alliances
have been chartered in farming regions
where there were none a year ago.
The Minnesota Farmers Alliance, at
its February meeting, passed strongly
sympathetic resolutions in regard to
those who labor in the shops and in
mines, and marked with approval the
efforts of workingmen to advance and
improve their condition. They also
denounced the organization of the great
trusts" which are reaching out for
the monopoly of so many Of the essent-
ials of life, and invoked in this the
aid Of the labor organizations, of which
there are forty.four National Uuions
in the United States.

Preparation of the Ground.

Late springs, caused by cold or we
weather which keeps farmers behint
with their spring work, are prolific
causes of careless, slovenly farming
Farmers get in hurry when they fine
the time slipping away and important
work still undone, and the temptation
to hurry up and slight spring work Is
very great. The ground is plowed
when too wet, the narrowing and rolling
necessary to prepare it for the seed are
not done, and for the sake of getting
through with the work the seed is put
in the improperly prepared ground from
which the future crop is to be harvested
Ground that is plowed aud worked
in preparation ftr the crop when out Of
condition, is an insurance that will
never fail against full crop. And
ground that may be plowed when in
the proper condition for such work
but not properly cultivated SO as to re.
duce the surface to a fine tilth, but is
left cloddy, rough and uneven when
the seed is put in, is also an insurance
against full crop. The hurry to get
the work finished few days or hours
earlier will not remedy the fatal mis-
take of slipshod cultivation.
Ground plowed when too wet or not
put in the best con nlition be fore plant
ing will prove injurious not only to the
immediate crop, but to all the crops in
that rotation. Nothing that can be done
atterward in that rotation can atone for
the frst mistake in failure to properly
prepare the land. l is better to wait
till the ground is in condition and farm
a less breadth, if need be, than to de-
liberately accept certain failure, in
loss of crop and injury to the soil, for
both of these results are inevitable and
always accompany each other. Bad til
lage is most damaging to land, while
good tillage increases its fertility and
productiveness.
A lack of proper cultivation of sum
mer crops is another source of great
loss to a very numerous class of farmers.
Cultivating corn, potatoes, etc.. when
the soil is too wet is fruitful source
of injury to the crops and to the soil,
and one of the greatest known promot.
ers of weeds A farmer in this imme-
diate neighborhood raised 800 bushels
of corn, the crop for the area planted
not being satisfactory, he complained
of the improbable result, attrlbuting
it to the poverty of the soil. He was
succeeded by another and better farmer,
who raised 1900 bushels from the same
fields without an addition in manures.
the former plowed and cultivated in ali
weathers without regard to the condi-
sion of the land. The latter took note
of the condition of the land and when
right he plowed, planted and cultivated
the crop. The first farmers methods
would run down and ruin the best farm
in the country, while the latter would
improve the poorest if the soil was not
naturally barren. Grass is the sheet
anchor of successful flaming, and good
set of grass cannot be had on slovenly
cultivated field, left lumpy and cloddy.
The grain crop will be partial failure,
the grass crop will grow in spots and
punches and weeds will take possession
of half the land.

Alfalfa or Lucerne.

Lucerne will grow on any land that
will produce wheat, corn or potatoes,
and will thrive on many lands that none
Of these will grow on, especially very
light sand or gravel, though it does
we'll on clay. But it will not grow on
any land that the water stands within
one foot of the surface, and there is no
use in sowing it in an alkali strong
enough to keep wheat from growing.
Though particular about wet land. it
will stand any amount of wet in the
summer, as long as there is plenty of
drainage. 1t will also stand all Of the
water in the winter that may fall in the
shape, of rain, or snow that may melt.
1t is very quick grower, and will
mature the first crop in about two
months from the time that growth
commences. The second crop will
mature in about six weeks from cuttino,
and the third is about FIVE weeks from
cutting of the second. The second crop
is the heaviest, but the first is little
the best feed, as it grows little longer
than the others. 1t will yield about on
an average of six tons per acre, and l
have known it to produce double that
quantity. 1t is perennial of the clo-
yer tribe, but will out.yield it two to
one, makes just as good feed, and has
great advantage over the clover, for
it never falls down, but stands up
straight.

SOWING.


The best method is to SOW broadcast
about Is pounds per acre, where the
land is in good condition, but ON very
weedy land or clear gravel or sand that
is very poor. put about 8 pounds more.
You cannot get any crop from it the
first year, but do not get discouraged
if the plants are on an average of 10
inches apart, little, slim single stems
about 4 or 6 inches high. Your pros
pect is good that you will get tons
per acre next year, and the next it will
be as good as ever it will, and stand
that way for ten years. 1t is best to
sow with grain. Oats are the best; thus
you will lose no time, but can have a
crop from your land every year. In
fact it does better to have it shaded
when young. Sow at the same time
that you do spring grain.
CULTIVATION.
Where there is plenty of rain, there
is no cultivation needed, for it would be
unwisc to mature it, as it thrives fully
as we'll on washed sand as it will on the
best garden spot, but in a few years it
will make clear sand rich land, owing
to the decay of the root. The roots
will sink themselves for distance of
Id to 20 feet straight down. They are
about l J inches in diameter, and fully
one.half of that root decays every year
from the outside, and keeps growing
larger from the centre every year.
1t should be cut when in full bloom.
A little old is better than too young;
when the bloom is ready to fall off is
not too late. Do not cut too much at
once, for if you allow a rain to come on
your hay after 1t is cut. it will nos be
worth more than one half tor feed, and
will be entirely worthless for market.
Heavy dews are not good either. Rake
into windrows, if cut with moving
machine, and let dry until it begins to

then pick it up and lay it in piles. just

not roll it together, or it will not load

leaves. BY following my directions
you can put each on perfectly clean at

any of the leaves. But let me warn
you against condemuing it as worth
