Drainage and Early Flowing.

If the land does not have natural
drainage and has not been under
drained it should be plOwed in narrow
lands, having the dead burrows run
ming in the direction of the descent to
carry off the surface water, which if
allowed to stand in puddles will soon
destroy the plants. The land should be
plowed as soon as possible after the
preceding crop of oats or barley comes
off in order to obtain more thorough
pulverization of the soil while there is
some moisture in it to make it crumble
and also to give time to work it into
the best condition before sowing. There
are usually some rains after Oat har-
vest, and plowed ground will absorb
and retain a great deal more water
than unplOwed.
Flowing and narrowing the land ear
" put a stop to the rise of the ground
water to the surface to be evaporated
by the sun and wind and consequently
prevent the drying out and baking of
the ground so that if left till later it
could not be well plOwed.-Cor. Coun-
/ try Gentleman.

In Connecticut not long since, the
tire of a big automobile burst, the
machine swerved and struck trolley;
it then jumped over a telegraph pole
and came down bottom side up. The
occupants got mixed up with the
wires, wheels, poles and trolley cars,
and were found unconscious.

INTESESTING FARM NEWS
CLEANED HERE AND THERE
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS THAT CAN BE
APPLIED WITH SPLENDID SUCCESS.
The Care of Live Stock, the Cultivation Of
Crops and the Latest Methods Used in
Raising and Caring for Poultry.

The seed bed for wheat Gf not for
all other cereals) should be made as
fine as dry ashes. To produce the best
results no two particles of soil should
stick together. Some may be inclined
to laugh at this assertion, but it has
been proved true many times by eX-
pertinent. JethrO Tull, the best farm
er in England during his time, declar-
ed that the more thoroughly the soil in
which plants grow was disintegrated
and refined the more abundant would
be the pasture" (as he called it, for
their rOotlets to feed upon and the
more abundant would be the crop pro-
duced. By perfect preparation of the
soil Lawes and Gilbert raised wheat
on the same field forty years in sue
cesSion and obtained yield of thirteen
bushels per acre the last year.
In order that plants shall have nOur-
ishment the earth must be made fine
and soft, so that the roots may spread
freely to their full extent. Another
reason why the seed bed for wheat
should be made as fine as possible is
because it is only through fine soil that
the ground water is able to rise by
capillary action. 1t will not rise up
through Rumps any more than it will
pass through coarse gravel. The rise
of the ground water to the surface "a
| kind of miracle) is of immense impor-
tance to all growing crops, and We
might say to everything that grows, in
dry weather.
Good Seed and Good Soil.
To raise large yields of wheat the
proper quantity of good seed must be
sown, because, no matter how fine the
soil may be made it can never produce
a good crop unless good seed ist sown.
Like produces like" Not only must
it be a heavy yielding variety; it should
be thoroughbred that has
been improved by continually selecting
the best for seed. The only way farm
ers can improve their wheat crops is by
improving the soil and improving the
seed. To make reasonably sure of q
good crop of wheat it must be sOwn on
good ground or ground made good by
some fertilizer. There must be an
abundance of available plant food
within easy reach of the plant roots
Wheat, like corn, to do well must have
all the al:R.Pnt it can devOur There is

Don't overstrain Their Moral Nature.

George W. Alger writing in the Atlantic Monthly
for April on Moral Stress in Business says
among other good things:
lhe duty of not putting on the character of an
other greater burden than it can safely bear is as
important as any duty IN the realm of morals and
the matter OF temperance is only one branch of it.
and by no means the most important. An examina-
ton Of the daily criminal calendars in the courts
Of the large cities conclusivey proves this fact In
early days when property was mainly in land or its
products, and when business life moved more slowly
than it does in these flush times, the temptations
and opportunities for crimes against property were
far less frequent. We are not essentially sys-
tematic people. Our tendency is to do business on
large a scale as possible, without that care to
detail which is exhibited in the more cumbrous
business methods of countries in which the margins
of profit are narrower and whore commercial trans
actions not conducted with the astonishing ra-
pidity which characterizes our own. To large
extent these defects in system are more or less nee
essary to these peculiar methods and habits of our
business life. They are, nevertheless, defects and
should not be so consistently ignored and over
looked as they have been generally in the past. We
are paying greater attention yearly to the physical
dlscomforts of the worker, trying to relieve the
overburdened. and to Tighten the load of hard work
which has fallen heavily in our struggle for COM
mercial supremacy, particularly on the women and
children. This Is all excellent but we must remen,-
Der that we have no more right to overload mans
morals than his back, and that while it is duty
as well privilege to have faith in our fellows
we should temper that faith with common sense so
that our faith may be to them help and support
rather than a stumbng-blo

, QUEENSTOWN SPLENDID SERVICE.

A dispatch from Queenstown on Friday says
"A great feat IN connection with the transfer and
dispatch of an enormous American mail of 1855
sacks, brought by the Campania today, furnishes
an object lesson to the advantages of the
Queenstown route, which even the most preiudiced
cannot refuse to notice. The Campania covered
distance of 1888 miles in days 10 hours and SO
minutes equal to summer passage over the short
route of days and IA hours. She arrived in the
harbor at 1920, and the entire 1856 bags of mail
matter were transferred from the ship to the ten
der and from the tender to the special train in 2
hours and 20 minutes, and the express train which
measured over 900 feet long with two engines left
for the North Wall at 40 with twenty-four sort
ers and two senior officers i'll charge of the mail.
The train will travel over sixty-ive miles per hour
on the journey, and will average sixty miles per
hour. The North Wall viii be reached in four hours,
and by the aid of special through service the Eng
hsh mails viii be delivered tomorrow morning in
ample time for replies by outward Cunard steamer
this week. This performance is believed to mark
the end of the policy of the American postal au-
thorities IN depriving the Lucania and Campania
of the mails. The Queenstown route has thus once
more been proved to have no equal for the accelera
tion of American mail matter.

serious consideration from the thoughtful men of

question: rs the trend Of college education away

DE argues that the teaching in our colleges is
becoming more and more non-Christian. He says:
Every observant person has known of numer-
Gus instances of believers who have had their faith
unsettled by their scientific studies Can
studies so pursued to atrophy ones spiritual ma
ture be SAID to tend toward Christ? Can an edu-
cation be truly Christian that does not increase

PROTEST AGAINST SIR H pLuNKErT

At the meeting of the County Waterford Tech
meal committee at Dungarvan, on Wednesday, the
Very Rev. Canon Power, P. p, V. F., Dungarvan,
said that he had to leave IN order to keep an i'm
portant appointment, and before he did so he wanted
to say few words on the course of action which
he decided to take today. He had recently read
a book written by Sir Horace Plunkett entitled
Ireland in the New Century" In that book the
writer made most unjustifable and unprovoked
attack on the priests and religious communities,
and he offered gross insult to Catholics generally
in matter that they hold dearer than their very
hvesther religion and its practices (hear, hear).
He charged Catholic Irishmen with displaying
bgotry towards Protestants, as displayed by dis
trict councillors and county councillors in three of
the provinces as if his beau ideal (the Northern
prorince) quite free from bgotry and loved
tolerance in religious matters above all else. He
said that the work of Catholic institutions was
non-economic. He charged the priests of Ireland
with taking away JOY and hope from the homes of
the people, and he suggested revolution of the
moral code. Now, he (the chairman) thought he
had quoted enough to give even those who had not
read the book to give them idea of Sir Horace
Plunketts opinions of the Irish prisest and the
Irish people. Now, did they think that gentle
man who wrote of them in these terms was likely
to promote the advancement OF agriculture tech
nical industries in ireland Ono, no') or was it
more likely to ALLEVIATE sympathy and support from
the movement? Whatever may be the cause of emf
grafton, one of the most affecting scenes to be wit
messed In connection with it is when the poor emf
grant comes to bid last farewell to his priest,
whom he loves, and who has proved his lifelong
friend as he goes on his knees to get parting
blessing. Did that show that the priests had taken
away hope and JOY from the homes of the people!
He charged the priests with extravaganza in church
building but he (Canon Power) suspected that if
the money so expended was directed to building
technical schools that Mr.. Horace Plunkett would
have objection. if the money came from
the poor. He ventured ITO say that the Just inAu-
ence of the Irish clergy would survive this unjust
and unprovoked attack. He (the chairman) could
not his way to work with man who had the
bad taste to write In this of the Catholics
priests and people of Ireland and protest. in
small way, he resigned his position as chair
man of that committee. He would notify his res
ignation to the county council in due course. and
begged to thank the members for the kindness and
courtesy they had extended to him while occupying
the position of chairman. 4
Canon Power then left the chair.
The chair was taken taken by Edward OShea.

bishop of Tuam. The need for new church had
