IMPORTANT FARM IMPLEMENT.
A Plain Talk on the Modern Harrow
and Their Use.

The harrow is a necessity on every
or small. The principal use of the har-
row is to pulveriZe the soil The inn
plement came into use after men
learned that it was advisable to re-
duce the soil to as fine state as pos
sible The harrow has been greatly
improved since it came into use. The
little old three-cornered or wedge
shaped harrow having wooden teeth
soon gave way to a harrow having
iron teeth, and that had to give place
to the harrow with steel teeth Now
all harrows have teeth of steel, but
these take multitude of forms. Some
of the teeth are merely hooks, some
are still straight spikes, others are
multitude of little plowshares in their
effects on the soil, while still others
are discs. The great number of styles
show the great interest taken in the
putting out of harrow having the
greatest possible power of fning the
soil. Any farmer will find himself
well repaid by making some study OF
this matter of harrows. He will be
perhaps surprised to find that one
kind of harrow will do the best on
one soil and another kind of harrow
on another SOIL for the reason that
different soils respond best to differ
ent conditions. On some farms where
the soils are diverse in character and
where different crops are being grown

arrows of different styles. The soil

TEMPERANCE AS A SAFEGUARD.
Why Railroad Men Are Becoming
Total Abstainers.


Not great while ago the an
nouncement was made as an item Oh
news that $4,000 men employed on
railroads bad signed the pledge Of
total abstinence from liquor, the rea-
son being that when hands were as
charged discrimination was made
against those who were known to be
even moderate drinkers Railroads
and steamboats, are very unsafe When
left to men whose keeness of eye and
ear is dulled by drink. The vast
crowds of passengers who constitute
the travelling public have a right to
demand strict temperance as the rule
for those who are charged with trans
porting them from place to place.
The appeal against intoxicants has
too often been based upon sentiment
merely, and again and again it has
been found that this was not a suf
1cient lever to induce a tempted man
to give up his baneful habit and step
over the line into safety When 1t
comes to question of deliberation be-
tween losing a profitable job or hold
ing on TO 1t, a man may not refuse to
take and keep pledge. particularly
when reinforced by the good company
OF great numbers of his fellow EN-.
ployes.
As safeguard against preventahle
accidents temperance stands well In
the front. Mistakes are made through
Nv he bsx
many times run risk without misad-
venture, as was lately pointed out in
an interesting article in one of the
magazines. The writer was signal
man of long experience, and the sum
of his conclusions was that a large
percentage Of accidents was due to
disobedienee of orders and needless
ness, usage having made engineers
and conductors somewhat reckless.
Granting this to be true there still
remains the undisputed fact that a
weary switchman who has taken a
stimulant to keep out the cold may
forget his duty at the proper moment,
that telegraph operator may send the
wrong message from a similar cause,
and that sleeping passengers may be
hurled into eternity through an error
committed by somebody whose mind
was not quite clear or whose judgment
was temporarily elouded.
If, declares the Christian Herald,
the crusade for temperance started
among railroad men could be indefl
nitely extended, a multitude of men,
women and children would have rea
son to thank God.

North Carolina Team JubfIant over
First victory from the

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Annapolis Nd, May 1.-The baseball
team OF North Carolina University de-
feated the Nidshipmen here to-day,
70 T.
The game was marked by loose fielding
on the part OF both teams, but was inter-
esting At one time it looked as though
rain would prevent the game, and, in
fact, the umpire called play before the
completion OF the fifth inning, when n
heavy shower OF rain, intermingled with
hail, came down.
North Carolina was then leading by the
same score as at the end of the game, and
storm OF protests came from the South
erners because of the calling OF the game,
when they had retired two OF the Middie5
and the third batsman had already had
two strikes called on him. The team and
spectators alike left the field. However,
the visitors were insistent at the full
game be played. as the shower was not of
long duration The Midshpmen willingly
acceded and the remaining four innings
were marked by some snappy fielding by
both teams and steady work by the
pitchers. Neither team managed to get a
runner past second
The Carolinians are delighted with the
victory, as il is the first time they have
accomplished the defeat Of the midship-
men.
Carolina won the game largely because
their hits came at more opportune times
and the fact that they took advantage Of
every possible chance. The Tarheels
had bad inning-the secondhand with
four errors, passed bah, and one hit,
the Middles got fo-,r runners home. AL
though they were slightly outplayed the
Middies also had a bad inning. Theirs
was the second, when the visitors got
three men across the can, principally by
errors. Score:

SOCIALISTS ARRESTED

The socialists who were arrested in
Buffalo last Sunday and brought be-
fore the police Judge on Monday morn
ing were very quickly released when
an attorney took their case in hand.
Perhaps the police thought that be-
cause they were not able properly to
speak our language that 1t would be
esssy 10 make an example of them as
anarchists. Let the police make no
mistake. The socialist party Of Roch.
ester will allow no unlawful handling
Of any Of the adherents Of their move
ments.
These men who are Lithuanians were
going to hold a socialist agitation
meeting, which is quite within their
rights, but the police decided to stop
it. When our comrades got to the
hall they found it in the hands Of the
police, who forbade them to hold any
meeting. This they had no right to
do. Their duty was to be present at
the meeting and if anything Of an un-
lawful nature was said then to arrest
those who uttered it. Why, they would
not even dare to serve Emma Goldman
as they served these men. But the So
cialists of Rochester stand ready to
fight TO the last ditch for their rights.
A condition now exists which the So
cialists have fortold. II is a condition
which proves the truth of their phil
osophy and they won't be bull-dozed
from doing whatever they think is
good for the working class, 80 long as
II is within the sphere of the law.
