Narrowing Grain.

Prof. Thomas Shaw states that he
thought the four harrowings he gave
grailn after it was up saved his crop
last year. 1t was so dry that the
grass never got green. yet the yields
went from twenty to thirty bushels.
The harrowings We're given when the
grain was Just coming up, when 1t was
four to five inches high: SIX to seven
inches and when eight to nine inches
hight.

AiiH ANhoAuS OF DIVORCE.
Charles 4. Ellwood, professor Of
sociology in the University Of Mis-
souri,. has been Investigating very
carefully the divorce question 1t is
his opinion that at the present rate OF
increase of divorces, before the end
Oh the century one out of every two
marriages will result in divorce That
is a rather strong assertion. but Pro.
lessor Ellwood relies on the ratio Of
increase, that has already been shown
In 1855, American courts granted 81
600 divorces as against 1900 FOR ali
The rest Of the civilized world. In 1895
The American courts granted - 900 as
against 10000 for the rest Of The
world III forty years, then the di
Norcc increase has been three times as
great as the increase in population
The present ratio OF divorce and
marriage is 10 II. In France. IL is /
TO every IS, in Germany 70 every
10. and in England TO every 100. In
Missouri, one divorce is granted 10
every eight marriages. In the State
every four marriages. In Colorado anu
Montana the ratio is one to I'VE and
in Texas. Oklahoma ana Indiana il is
one TO SIX
Professor lIllwood predicts a great
npheaval in America unless something
is done to preserve, the family lies.
lie says:
Free divorce is just the same as
free love. It is just swapping OF
iamilies, and the free love advocates
are more dangerous TO society than
are anarchists
II believe the family IS in Il period
