Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is a perennial plant. in many
respects resembling clover. 1t has long
been known in Europe, and its most ex-
tensive cultivation in this country is in
California and some of the western and
southern states. 1t seems especially
adapted to dry climates, and succeeds
best on light sandy or loan sol with
subsoil through which its long top
roots~can penetrate and find their way to
moisture. 1t has been grown success
fully at the Geneva station in New York.
but in experiments on farms in diff
parts of Vermont has been largely win
ter killed. 1t will not thrive among
weeds, but must have clean land the first
year. In reply to inquiries that have
been made no better answer can be given
than brief statement of some of its bad
and good points as discovered at differ
ent state stations throughout the coun-
try and summarized by the central office
at Washington.
Among its disadvantages it has been
found less hardy than clover and not so
easily established. If allowed to grow
TOO long the stalks become hard and
woody. Cattle cannot be safely pas
tured on it except in dry regions. 1t re-
quires peculiar treatment to make good
hay. Its good qualities are that when
once well established it lasts for years
1t withstands drought well, grows rap
idly and may be cut early and Will fur
nish several crops of green fodder each
season. If properly cured it makes good
hay and is relished by all farm animals.
In brief, while valuable as a feeding
stuff and as a fertihzing crop, it re-
quires peculiar conditions of climate and
soil for its growth and careful culture
and curing to make it a profitable crop

Shocking Profanity OF Preschcrs.
Brooklyn Eagle.

The phrase wears q startling look, but
unfortunately it has too broad founda-
ton in fact. Doubtless. constant familiar
ity with sacred words and solemn thoughts
tempts clergymen to what seems to people
less familiar with them certain hippancy.
This mistake Is often unconscious. though
q conservative minister will constantly
guard against 1t. There is another and
far worse practice. The assumption that .
preacher can do nothing wicked is made
pretext for the use OF language so closely
resembling profanity that from any other
lips 1t couId not be distinguished from
that Objectionable sort of speech. The
Rev. Thomas Dixon. jr., is pastor OF the
Twenty third street Baptist church in
New York. He was an active participant
in the recent curious performances in the
Municipal League, and showed more than
once that he had fallen into the error OF
confounding sensationalism and eccen-
triciiy with strength and eloquence. The
other night Mr.. Dixon came to this city to
lecture. Among other things he said that
The thanked God that slavery from the
lannon's mouth was hellward blown"
This outbreak, indeed did not occur during
religious services, and the address which IL
disfisurei was not q formal sermon, but
the harangue was delivered in Christian
church, where decorous language shou
be matter of course, even IL the clergy
man temporarily occupying the place Is
not personally constrained by such a rule.
