FARMING As A SCIENCE.

There was time when it was thought
that anybody could farm. The farmer
was classed as rude laborer If he sue
ceeded in amassing a fortune IT was nv
reason Of superior native intelligence and
not by reason Of scientific skill. While
that condition still obtains In many
localities, there is movement on foot
in this country which Will place the
farming Of the next generation among
the learned professions
Our fathers learned what they knew
Of farming by experience They knew
that certain crops fourished in certain
kinds Of soil. but they did not know why.
They were able to detect a good COW
when they saw her. but they had not the
time to experiment with view to MAX
ing all their cows good The natural
conservativeness of the occupation
caused the son to farm as his father had
farmed before him. Time was too
precious to waste in foolish experiments.
The result was that while every other
occupation was advancing on a scien-
tific basis, farming Jagged behind the
| procession. Farms were worn out and
abandoned, all because Of the lack OF
scientific knowledge.
In 1875 the state came to the aid of the
farmer with the first agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Middletown, Conn.
This was an innovation-the first appIi-
cation of scientific knowledge to tighten
the burden of the farmer. The enec,

THE DIVORCE DECISION.

The recent press dispatches outlining
the decision of the supreme court in
cases of divorce granted in states other
than those In which the marital resi-,
dence of the parties was established is
not sufficiently fun in detail to enable a
clear understanding to be had of its
operation.
From the kentucky case cited it would
appear that where personal service is
Effected outside the state in which the
action is brought the sufflciency of the
decree granted is clear and must be
recognized by the courts of other states
The decision in the North Dakota cases,
however, seems of sufficient broad scope
to be followed by the most serious conse.
Quences to those who secured divorces in
that state A divorce granted in favor of
a party residing IN the state during the
statutory period against a nonresident
party on whom the summons is served
through publication, seems, according to
the published summary Of the supreme
court decision, to be invalid so far as
relates to the courts of other states
This latter result seems, however, entire
ly improbable in the absence of proof
of bad faith in the plaintiff. If it can be
regarded as an outcome Of the supreme
court decision, a great deal of injustice
win result as well as much hardship to
innocent parties
All who respect the sanctity of the mar
riage tie must rejoice on learning that
some adequate restraint is placed on the
courts of the two Dakotas in the manu-
facture of divorce DEGREES. Since neither
of these states thinks proper to increase
the period of residence so as to prevent
the courts from exercising Jurisdiction
over mere sojourners from other states,
it has become public necessity that a
remedy should be presented from some
other quarter. No one believes that legal
residence is ever intended to be secured
in one cut Of hundred of the cases in
which people come from other states to
the Dakotas and secure absolute divorces.
The colH IS themselves do not believe
there IS any intcntinn to secure per-
nsanent residence in such Gases; while
the indecent haste shown in getting out
CT the state after the decree is enter
cd, leaves no moral doubt whatever that
the plaintiff, in almost all such cases,
has committed fraud en- the courts,
not only OF the state granting the divorce
but also on tho courts OF the other
states
If the decision of the supreme court
snail BE- found to render it impossible
for parties resorting to other states for
the mere purpose of securing divorces
to have their marital bonds dissolved
the result will prove of the highes,
moral gain to society. Even the advo-
Gates of the most liberal divorce laws
will agree that the morally fraudulent
divorces which have made the two De-.
kotas notorious, should be Brought to ar
end, and that the citizens Of eiyer
state who desire to set aside the marriage
which united them, should be confined
If possible, to the courts of the states
IN which they actually reside, in orde,
to secure their release

the production OF Rupert OF Hentzau,"
Anthony Hopes fascinating romantic

contrast to the setting OF the cellar III

PREPARE FOR TAX SALE
TEN THOUSAND PIECES OF PROP
ERTY GO Under THE HAMMER.


AS result OF the new forfeited tax
sale passed by the late legislature, Coun-
ty Auditor Johnson will shortly prepare
for sale under the hammer between Il. 900
and 1900 pieces Of property located in
ST. Paul. and Ramsey county. The sale
Will be counterpart of the great clear
ance sale held a year ago and in point of
interests involved will be the largest ever
held in ST. Paul
Mr.. Johnson now has a force of five
clerks busy preparing the lists of prop
erty that will be offered at the sale the
law requiring that they be given pub
licity in the papers not later than May.
Following failure to redeem, they VIII
be offered to the highest biddef at the
regular sale Ito be held next September.
The property involved and which the
new law covers are those pieces bid in

purchaser and for which no provision
was made for future disposal
The new law permits the sale of these
forfeited lands on May 81 Prior to that
time any party claiming title NAV re-

OF SO per cent Of the original Judgment

ments If the lands are not bid IN by
owners prior the sale and arc NOT dis

last provision is of the greatest inn
portance as it will permit owners of OUT
lying lands in Minneapolis, st. Paul and

LAST SIX WEEKS.
DR.. Kie5le, dean Of The department Of
pedagogy at the university, held a long
conference with Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction Olson, at the capitol yes
terday afternoon, and afterward it was
announced that this year there will be
six weeks of Summer school at the
university, instead of four. as in past
years. Superintendent Olson, speaking
of the decision to have six weeks OF
school, said:
1--WE have always had four before, but
we have made the discovery that stu
dents during the summer season can do
about twice as much work in six weeks
as in four. With that length Of time
teachers who want to make up certain
subjects, work the harder and accomplish
the end in Wow, while they would not
be led to do so with Only four weeks"
To date the department has received
applications for hfty-eight summer
schools, but the appropriation will not
allow SO MANY. It is probable that
there will be about forty.
