Fall SEEDING of Alfalfa.

The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has gained much experience in
fall and spring seeding of alfalfa. and
says that the principal objection to
spring sowing is that weeds come up
and choke out the young plants before
they can get a good start. The fall
seeded alfalfa on dry land was able
to Withstand the severe winter climate
perfectly-in fact, better than the
common red clover Under average
good conditions from 20 to 30 pounds
of seed should be sown to the acre
Manure gave better results on Penn
sylvania soil than did commercial fer
tllizer. Lime did not give satisfactory
results. In some instances it gave no
appreciable results, and In others 1t
was decidedly harmful, but in no case
was it applied to advantage. Deep.
well-drained soils are the best for
growing alfalfa.

FOR UNWRITTEN LAW
Dean of the Washington College of
Law Defines 1t as the Right to De-
fend the Integrity of Family Life.
BY ELLEN SPENCER MussEY.

BY ELLEN SPENCER MUSSEY.
Dean of the Washington College of Law.
The unwritten law might be de-
fined to be right to defend the integ
rity of family life against all invasion
and invaders. While the family has
no distinct legal entity apart from the
persons who compose it, yet, in the
interest of society, the law holds the
more intimate family relations as
sacred and not to be inquired into by
a court of justice. 1t Is on this ground
that communications between husband
and wife are privileged, and they can
not testify as to confidential communi.
cations made by one to the other
during the marriage.
Marriage is a civil institution as
well as contract, and 1t should be a
religious sacrament Law cannot
make or unmake the true marriage
relation, but so far as the relation
concerns society and the state, it must
control 1t.
The Family as a Unit.
The law regards carefully all prop
erty rights. 1t deals promptly with
the trespasser and the thief, and en-
forces contracts. The murderer, the
embezzler. the perjurer, have justice
meted out to them as enemies of the
commonwealth.
But the law does not deal with the
family as a unit. Every student of
sociology knows that the homes of the
commonwealth are its real corner
stones, but the law does not SO recog.
nize 1t. 1t is the one institution still
left to the defense of the head of the
family. In the very nature of things
there Is always woman in the case
If the crime Is against her personally
II she be over the age OF 16, what
remedy does the law give her?
A young woman went into a city to

GOOD SOIL FOR CROPS.
Some Comments BY j. F. Volta, of
Gustavus Adolphus College.

An ideal soil for the growth of
crops should be one containing the
property of being friable, loose and
porous; one that retains a reasonable
amount of moisture and heat; one
that will allow itself to be worked over
easily and of which drainage is good;
one whose aeration or ventilation is
good. To get such soil we would
recommend the following composition:
1. a certain amount of clay, enough
to regulate the capacity of the soil for
water and heat as well as mineral
matter.
2. A certain amount of humus to
supply nutrition and regulate capacity
for moisture. heat and chemical ac-
tion.
8. A certain amount of sand to in
crease capacity for drainage and till
age.
This would, in brief, furnish good
mixture of the various soils for such
climate as is found in this middle
northwest.

TIM ELY HINTS.

Coach horses are rapidly increasing
in prices notwithstanding manufac-
turers of automobiles are full of busi-
ness also.
The KafIlr corn introduced for trial
in the arid region in the southwest,
where it has succeeded remarkably
well, makes very excellent meal.
1t is a splendid time. these cold
days, to sharpen up the saws, grind
the axes and fill the box with kindling.
While you are at 1t, don't forget the
butcher knife, the shears your wife
uses and the chopping knife.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker tells that paper that a flock of
seven sheep brought him in $100 in a
year. If a large flock can be made
profitable in that proportion, there
should be no question about the advis-
ability of keeping sheep.
A common wire Srush can be used
to remove the rust from farm tools.
If finer finish is desired a bit of
sand paper will answer the purpose.
After this treatment apply some good
metal paint. This will prolong the
life of any iron or steel tool.
There is a demand both for little
pigs and for hogs. Therefore pork is
not likely to decline in price in the
near future. The conversion of a
large part of the enormous corn crop
into pork is sure to be profitable to all
who engage in it.-Farm Journal.

Peru Claims Kuroki.

Gen. Kuroli, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru.
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
1t, that Kuroki's father was a Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
Charroqui 1t is also declared that
the generals father was a descendant
of the Incas. who themselves are be-
Iieved to have been descendants of an
Asiatic race, so Kurod is an atavism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

The Right to Defend the Integrity of Family Life Is

Count up on your fingers, If you can
do it on both hands, how many cases
of this "unwritten law" idea have
been conspicuous since the silly and
insolent young idler in the Tombs be-
gan to exploit his defense for shoot
ing a useful and Industrious man in
the back. Why, right in the column
next to the ugly account of the
woman without cent" who left her
babes behind to travel for days and
nights to kill a man, you read of
woman killing doctor and pleading
in justification ''unwritten law" Pity
her? Yes But put her quietly in
some good asylum, and, above all,
don't exploit her as you have the
young lunatic in the Tombs, who so
enjoys being exploited. For see what
comes of 1t all. The most piteous case
of this character took place a stones
throw from the White House, in front
of the old house where the assassins
tried to kill Seward the night Lincoln
was murdered. But it took place quite
a dozen years before the fateful night
at Ford's theater. A young politician
of great promise, and, too, of subse-
quent great achievement, was living
with his notably young wife on that
same side of the square. A great iron
fence enclosed the square at that
time. Had it not been for that fence
his retreating victim might have fled
and escaped.
Two Cultured Victims.
Both the young men in this very
first "unwritten law" tragedy were
men of fortune, culture and position.
One, the son of poet who wrote "The
Star Spangled Banner" the other
member of congress from New York
and equally conspicuous and respect
ed. The member of congress-. seeing
the other leave his home and wave a
handkerchief back to his young wife,
leaning out of the window, confronted
him there by the iron fence in front
of his door and telling him of his
shame and that he must die, followed
him up and shot him to death. | was

call how one of the jurors, the Oldest
of them ALL going down on his knees
in corner of the jury room. prayed
long and loud for the divine guidance
in holding the hearthstone sacred.
The man was acquitted, partly be-
cause it was made to appear that he
really loved his wife, but mainly be-
cause the victim had by his acts and
some foolish admission to a friend
made it appear that he had no real
heart in the affair, but rather gloried
in his crime. 1t is to be admitted
that the hearts of all, both women
and men, were with the wronged man,
especially when he again took the
frail woman to his heart and lived the
life of good husband till death took
her from him.

me quote a few lines written at the
