Alfalfa in New England.

1t must be the source of some salts
faction to western farmers to learn
that their king of forage crops, al
falfa, has been adopted by the New
England husbandmen. Yet It is
natural, for the glories and the stories
of alfalfa, it's fame and its fortune.
have gone from state to state and
from land to land. 1t may, indeed, be
considered a matter of some surprise
that the farmers of New England did
not a long time ago come to appre-
ciate its value.
Again, it was natural that the east
erners should adopt this grass, for
they have been slowly but steadily
coming to the ways Of the west in diff
ferent lines of agricultural pursuit.
Some of their leading railroads have
followed the example of our western
lines in sending out educational trains
and aiding farmers in promoting their
industry, and our methods Of intensi-
fed farming have attracted wide at
tention. Long ago our hogs, in dressed
form; our sheep, our wool and our
grain found comfortable and convent
emit landing in the New England
states.
Alfalfa is one Of the sturdiest and
most prolific crops that come from the
farm. In southern California, where
land is highly adapted and seasons
long, it has been known to yield as
many as eight crops a year; in Ne
braska It will turn out four or five,
and 1t is staple in every western state
Even in New England one farmer cut
three crops from July 8 to September
8, and believed he could cut a fourth,
but preferred to leave 1t for winter
protection. 1t is not only big money
maker, 1t is a soil-ssver as we'll, and as
good feed as stock can have. And
with all its vast increase in production
it's price continues to rise. New Eng
land has done we'll to take hold of It
and it will do better to increase its
acreage from year to year.

Virtue of Land Ownershin.

This indomitable desire of Amer
leans to own homes, to acquire land.
whether in city, town or country, indi-
Gates a steadfast healthfulness of the
nation. The opening up of new terri
tory to settlement and the commercial
advantages involved are not to be
compared with that larger object of
multiplying the number of home own
ers. 1t inspires thrift and industry
and produces independence and pros
perity in the individual citizen,
which goes to make up a strong and
powerful people.
Nations that have gone to the front
have been those whose people we're
rooted to the land. No country of
tenantry or semi-serfdom has long en-
dured as a strong nation. Agrarian
rights that enlarged private ownership
have always impaired virtues to the
people enjoying them. They have al
ways enhanced the powers and posi-
bilities OF the individual and tended
to diminish those Of the autocrat or
oppressive government. In France at
one time the proposal OF an agrarian
law was met by threat of punishment
to the person presenting it, simply be-
cause the powers feared an equal dis
tribution of land under such a statute.
This, OF course, was an oveTdrawn
conception, but it goes TO show how
such conditions have been regarded by
those who did not advocate the largest
popular rights. Even the first agrar-
ian law enacted in Rome under the
tribune, Lieinius stolo. which re-
rstricted the rights OF the private citi-
still held BY the state more than he

Tragedy of the Ministry.

Much is being said these days about
the miserably low pay given ministers

last year was $3.50 and parsonage. At the

things: First, the false labels put on
Bryan electors which enabled them to

branded as populists, and purloin the
votes intended for TON" Watson;
and second, the money and support
thrown to the democratic ticket by the
