Paris Newspapers See Much Cause
For Alarm in the Riots
of Sunday.
Some Blame the Government For
Making Arrests Without
Cause.
Others For Not Making Prepare

Statistics.

PARIS, Aug. 22.-The papers of this
city, in commenting ON the riots which
took place Sunday, are unanimous in
pronouncing the situation to be of the
most serious character. The Conserva-
tive and Nationalist organs accuse the
government of provoking the bloodshed
by unjustifiable arrests.
The Gaulois reproaches the cabinet
for not having taken measures to pre-
vent the excuses. The Radical Revi-
sionist and Republican papers insist on
the necessity for more frmness on the
part of the ministry, and Declare the
ministers must defend the republic
against secrect Vaccinations and at
tempts at an uprising.
The Radical press protests against
the disorders and hopes the police Will
prevent recurrence of them.
The Figaro expresses the belief that
the troubles are over and says that the
government has decided to act with the
utmost vigor against M. Guerin, the
president of the Anti.Semite league,
who, with some companions, has been
beed barricaded in the headquarters of
the league since Aug ~. 1t also says
the premier, NJ Waldeck- Rousseau,
thinks there will be no further disturb
ances in the streets of Paris
The Rappel blames Sebastian Faure,
the anarchist orator, for provoking
troubles at time when 1t is the duty
of everybody to urge calmness.
The Petit Bleu and other papers urge
the government to reassure the prov
inces by Fastening the proceedings in
the prosecution of the cases of those
who have been charged with conspiring
against the republic. 4

Alfalfa For Hog Pasture.

An Ohio Farmer correspondent asks
whether alfalfa can be sown in an
orchard for hog pasture which has
been in timothy and clover and is all
heaved out, and Joseph e. Wing an
swers: Alfalfa undoubtedly makes the
best hog pasture of any plant that can
be grown. Whether the soil of this or
chard will grow it or not is another
question. The clover having frozen out
may simply be the result Of it's having
died from old age, or it may be that
the soil is undrained and apt to heave
things. If the soil is really rich and dry,
I should SOW the alfalfa without any
hesitation. Plow the land deep, throw
ing up an inch or two Of new soil and
sowing the alfalfa along about the
middle of April or later. Cover by roll
ing. Be sure the land is smooth, so that
the mower can run over it easily, for
keeping it moved off two or three
times the first summer to destroy the
weeds and to invigorate the alfalfa by
the close clipping is the secret Of sue
cessful alfalfa growing. Do not pas
ture it the first year, and do not pas
ture it the second year too close, and
never allow the hogs to run on 1t when
the alfalfa is frosted, or the plants will
be destroyed

also useful on very light, sandy soils
and on very hard, lumpy soils, where
other crops are not easily grown. A
few years of rye may improve SUCH

Rape may serve useful purpose as
cover crop. Corn sown thickly 1la to 2
months before frost is said to make a
good winter cover for orchards, though
quickly killed by cold weather. Buck
wheat is good for the same purpose, If
sown so as to reach its full height, but
not to produce seed before winter.
Among other plants Of more or less
value as cover crops are oats, wheat,
barley, millet and spurry.

Harvesting Sofa Beans For seed.

Cut as soon as first pods turn yellow
or become light brown. If left too
long to ripen, the leaves will drop off,
thus injuring the value of the hay and
straw. The stalks will also become
too hard and tough to cut with now

rake or dropper is the best, Put the
beans in small piles, containing a good
forkful each, and allow them to cure.

AN UNEVEN HAY CROP.

Rank Grows
The hay crop is OF 4ea 'unusr-
ally irregular and ul.aTen by the
American Agricultufist, whien says OF
the general conditions: Tie range is
from almost complete failure to mag
nificent luxuriance, and when the view
is narrowed to take in state conditions
only the range is almost as great Not
only is there great disparity in state
conditions, but within the state the
same irregularity exists. 1t is thus
difficult to SUMMARIZE the condition for
the whole field, but the careful returns
Of our country correspondents furnish
abundant basis for the claim that the
hay crop this year will be small in
comparison with the abundant product,
Of last year.
East of the Alleghanies and in the
south the long spring drought came at
a time when it's full effect was appar-
ent in the grass crop. Not only was
the crop cut short. but on material
areas no attempt was made to cut any
hay, cattle being pastured on meadows
in the absence of any nourishment on
regular pasture areas. In New Eng.
land the crop local
fourth to one-haIf q - - 81
York and Pennsylvania o1ly three
fourths of crop is IN sight. With
such situation in these important hay
districts it naturally follows that the
general average of condition for the
whole crop is low.
West Of the Alleghanies the season
has presented radically different condi-
tons. Instead of drought the whole
spring and summer have been marked
by a great excess OF rainfall, and not
looking beyond the bare records OF pre-
cipitation the public has been conVilc-
ed that the grass Of the west would
make good any deficiencies in the east.
But such is not assured. Instead of a
great hay crop as result Of the unu-
sual rainfall in the central valleys, the
crop Is inferior to last year for the belt
as whole. and in many localities it is
decidedly smaller than the average for
series of years.
While the partial failure In the east is
the result of the drought entirely, the
uneven crop of the west is due to a
cause which is apt to be more lasting
and farreaching. The severe winter
weather which SO nearly destroyed the
winter wheat crop over large district
left heavy mark on the meadows as
we'll Glover suffered to an extent al
most beyond precedent, and meadows
were left in such shape in .llany sec
tons that the pillow wds the only reme-
dy. On this account there was larger
area Of grass land put to corn than for
many years, and much of what was
spared will another year be piowed.
The crop promise of the west is not
up to the usual standard. Not only will
there be shortage in tonnage, but the
usual rankness in weed growth this
year will lower the quality of the crop.
In portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois the complaint of white top 10
greater than ever before, and this pest
will necessitate further blowing up Of
grass land.
