Such is the record of the "class" of
the present day. None OF them are
in politics for the money (?) there is
in it, but like the Apostles of old,
they take no thought of support, but
are content to spend all their time
in the service of their country. They
are trying at present to induce Uncle
Sam to marry Old Vic and let her
wear the breeChes). And yet strange

all laid up a million or two from

the field should be narrowed as soon
as the alfalfa IS three or four inches
high, so that thus crust will be broken
up. Such narrowing, If done after
the plants are fairly well started, will
not iDjure the stand. If the alfalfa is
irrigated two or three times the first
season, to enable the young plants to
make a good growth and form large
roots, there is not much danger that
it will winter-kill. However, the
field must not be irrigated too late in
the season, when the ground is cold.
More water is needed the first year
than afterwards. Alfalfa is some
times grown without irrigation. In
such cases the success of the crop de-
ponds very largely on the thorough
ness with which the ground has been
prepared for the crop. Sandy soils
require larger quantity of water, but
less often, than sitter, clayey ones.
II sown as soon as the ground be-
comes warm, the plants will rapidly
develop deep rootP, and when once
we'll rooted they will stand more dry
weather than any other forage plant
Alfalfa grows better on land re-
curing irrigation than on naturally
moist soil, simply because the latter
do not, az rule, have good drainage.

partment Of Agriculture
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL

pHrtment OF Agriculture
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.
A clean piece of ground should be
selected, and it should be thoroughly
plowed and subsoiled. If the farmer
has no subsoiling pillow, the best sub
stitute is two turning plows, the one
following in the furrow made by the
other. The best results from this crop
are obtained after the second year, be-
cause alfalfa does not reach maturity
until the third or fourth season.
Hence the field selected should be
one that can be kept in alfalfa for a
number of years. The first cost of a
deep and thorough preparation of the
soil may seem large, but it must be
remembered that the farmer expects
to take two or more cuttings off the
land each year for from three to
thirty years. The primary expense
of a thorough preparation is, In a
sense, thus spread over a series of
years. Deep blowing pays, because
there will be a greater yield from the
land than in the case of the too COM
mon shallow cultivation. After plow-
ing the field must be narrowed and
rolled several times, or until the seed
bed is perfectly smooth and mellow.
SOWING THE SEED.
In the eastern RockeY Mountain re-
gion and the middle North and North
west-Alfalfa is usually drilled or
sown broadcast in spring as soon as
the ground is warm, and when danger
of hard frost is past. 1t IS best to SOW
without nurse crop. When the land
is under ditch, the field should be ir-
rigated before seeding, and never
after seeding until the young plants
are at least six weeks old. The first
six weeks or two months in the life of
the plant is the critical period of its
growth. 1t Is at this time very sus-
ceptible to any sudden chenges of
temperature or to any excess of water
10 the soil. II the land be irrigated
directly after 1t has been plowed and
narrowed, the soil becomes reservoir
of water necessary for the growth OF
the young plants, and no further irri-
cation will be required until the al
falfa is we'll established and the plants
are less susceptible to cold. The
seed should be covered very lightly to
the depth of not exceeding an inch.
A light harrow or brush will be suf-
fcient. Drilling is more economical,
and better stand is usually obtained.
If the farmer has a press drill, 1t
would be better to use that; but care
must be taken not to cover the seed
too deep, II the seed is sown broad.
cast just before a rain, no narrowing
or brushing will be necessary. 10

falfa is extensively grown rains can
not be counted on. Ia many locali-

power Of the railway syndicate and
arouses the people to the ever-present

laughs at the threat that the govern

Birds of Feather Flock Together
EDITOR HERALD:-We are pleased
to note that Johnnie Q. feels truly
complimented to have the Leader
class him with such men as Platt
Quay, and Leland, not that we like to
have any one classed with this crowd,
but when one prefers the class with
such questionable records, we are
pleased to have them acknowledge 1t.
Let us take brief review of the
record Of this "class" when our friend
so admires and compares 1t with those
who founded the party. Plat, of
New York, disreputable politician and
scheming demagogue runs the big
machine of the state trys, and partly
succeeds in controlling the nomlna-
tons and debating the policy of the
state and city government. He and
his tools are in favor of everything
that tends to keep the city of New
York degraded and corrupted, for in
such is his only hope of control. If
he succeeds in becoming dictator he
will establish reign that will throw
Tamanies and Tweeds into oblivion.
Doomed for PRESIDENT OF course he
is doomed for president. Such fell
lows always are. Who by? The re-
spectacle element? No slr'ee. They
want Gov. Morton who is striving to
to keep out of his clutches. Who then?
BY the one "hoss" editors and the
cross road politicians who for the
honor (?) of beng 'classed" with such
a leader "whoop him up" for presi-
dent. You want proof? Read almost
any copy of the New York Tribune
the Official mouth piece of the repub.
lican party, or give an extra quarter
with the Dispatch and read 1t
whole year.
Quay, U. S. Senator from Pennsyl-
wanna, whose reputation is clouded by
Doodle and bank swindling, Resolu.
tions were passed by the republican
house, if we remember right, under
Harrison's administration condemn
ing him as such, after an investiga-
ton, and the Senate Mortified to have

protested against the resolutions but
dared not deny the charges. Crown
ed as leader, of course. No other
kind of a man can be leader of this
party at this advanced stage of It's
existance. SO was Jeff DAVIS crown
ed leader of the dishonored Confed-
eracy. and so was German traitor
to his party crowned leader in New
Jersey Such men as these are the
ones that get crowned" but, not all
the ''class" get crowned" We have
not the proof of all this at hand as it

BELLOWS Falls VS.. Springfield.

not over clearly in his attire. He
called on several of the merchants
and asked for oatmeal, but the price
asked was invariably too high. With
one party the following conversation
took place:
olive in Bellows Falls? ?"
"Nop, haven't been here before for IS
years"
"Some changes ?"
"Jest few"
"Where do you live ?"
"Well, sir, | have lived in both
heaven and hell, and I'll be ID if /
don't like hell the best"
This was said without change of
feature, and evidently in dead earnest.
1t was remarked with some surprise
that this inhabitant of the plutonian
realm drove direct to Springfield.

Girls Who Pose as "Trilby."

To pose as "Trilby" means to repre-
sent her entirely, writes Edward w.
Box in the June Ladies' Home Journal
And what does this mean? Love her
as we may, "Trilby" lacked the great
and overpowering quality that stamps
true womanhood /: chastity. Twist the
facts as we may, portray "Trilbyu as
we like, that one fact stares us in the
face aud remains. We cannot get
away from it. Mr.. Du Maurier states
the fact, and states it plainly. 1t makes
not an iota of difference that she did
not sell herself for money or for station
but of her own accord F.; she gave away
the greatest possession of woman, with
out which she becomes nothing. She
repented afterward, it is true. But it
is not decreed in this life that the limo
cence of a woman is restored to her by
repentance once her virtue is lost. 1t
is not meeting the case to point to man
in comparison. Nature has set upon
woman her law, and that law is mex
orable. 1t is permissible that we shall
read of women who make missteps in
life, and we do not necessarily iDjure
ourselves by such reading. Moreover,
we can and should sympathize with
them, and help them. This is humane;
it is Christian; it is Christlike. We
can, in our hearts, condone aud forgive.
But it is not asked of us to imperson-
ate such women, allowing their mis-
take even when the cause is charity.
1t is poor charity that seeks its aims
by asking purity to pose as impurity:
Let us be content. to read '"Trilby,"
emulating those graces and virtues
which she undoubtedly possessed. But
let us leave her in the book, where its
author intended she should be. To
take her out of her printed dress and
bring her to life is to take the character
beyond the point of burlesque. 1t
merges on to the unsavory. 1t makes
the girl who personates her, for the
time being, not the "Trilby" of the
Latin Quarter or of Mr.. Du Maurier's
story, but the American girl '"Trilby-
ized.n And that no selfrespecting
American girl can afford to become.
