may do more harm than good If, how
ever, the crop has been sewn on
smooth and clean land, the use Of
light harrow on the crop when it IL
three to four inches high may help II
materially.
Corn and potatoes that have been
properly planted may be greatly bene.
fitted by timely and persistent harrow
ing. On these crops the harrow ma
be used both before and after they
have reached the surface On both
these crops the harrow may be used
until they are several inches high, ana
usually with great advantage
No crops will receive greater bene-
fit from judicious narrowing than win
ter wheat and winter rye. One or two
borrowings may he given to them with
advantage in the fall and as many or
even a greater number in some in
stances in the spring. The first har-
rowing in the spring should be given
as soon as the ground can be stirred
without injuring it. The next harrow
ing should be more severe II the
ground is too much impacted near the
surface. This will give to it the nee
essary aeration.
The harrow should never be used
on a grain crop when the ground is s.
wet that more or less of it will stick
to the harrow, as then it tends to drag
down the grain. Nor should 1t be us.
ed for a somewhat similar reason
when the plants are wet from rain or
dew. When the grain is too thick the
narrowing should be SO severe as t.;
thin the plants to proper stand.
The most suitable narrow for this
work at tho present time is That with |
iron or steel that may 30 given a
forward Or backward slant, or that
may be used uprightly. II should have
a wide sweep to 20 over the ground |
quickly. In many instanoes the har.
rows in use are too heavy to do the
work in best form When the soils

may serve the purpose better than the
harrow.

"A Textbook of True Temperance"

association. says that Maine. in which
the liquor traffic has been forbidden
during more than sixty years, has the
largest number OF divorces in which
drunkenness is given as the direct
cause. with the single exception Of
Connecticut"
This book says: THE percentage of
divorces granted in which drunkenness
or intemperance is given as a cause
for the whole United States. is of wo-
men IL. and of men 5.3. In Maine
the percentage is Of women 3-3, and of

A LARGE MILITARY ENcAMP--
MENT

i From one end ofSthe country to the
other the season OF 1911 is likely to
be marked by the celebration of civil
war anniversaries. AS a month of
great military events May has wit
messed such anniversaries in all parts
of the country. Notice is now given
that the semi centennial anniversary
of the civil war is to be marked in
Chicago by one of the largest military
encampments and tournaments ever
planned in the United States. 1t is
to be first of all a mobilization of
national guardsmen to supplant the
annual encampment of the Illinois ma
tional guard for 1911 Besides the Hi
nois regiments there are to be en-
camped national guardsmen and mill
tary organizations from other states
companies Of federal troops, and troops
from Canada. The affair. planned to
serve a twofold purpose-to show the
people the progress and achievements
Of the national gusrdsmen and to add
military aspect to the general COM
memoration of the civil warts to be
held under the auspices of the Chicago
Association of Commerce in the week
beginning July %. Grant park, where
last year the federal troops held
tournament, is TO be the scene of the
military event. One day of the week
win be Grand Army of the Republic
day, when the Cook county veterans
of the war will be the special guests
of the tournament. On this day it is
planned to have as d special feature a

TWO DISTINCT DECISIONS.

1t is well that the present senate OF
the United States is practically a new
senate. for il would have been embar
RAISING to the old senate to have had
the senate of the state of Illinois aft
er an investigation into the Lorimer
bribery case to have passed a resolu-
tfon in which it states to the senate Of
the United States it's belief that the
election OF Senator Lorimer was
brought about b. bribery and corrup-
ton"
The senate of Illinois has invest-
gated this matter and ii was doubt
less influenced more by the conduct
of the witnesses than b. what they
actually disclosed. 1t is not easy to
prove bribery. but the conduct Of men
questioned who are suspected OF hay
ing a knowledge OF criminal acts, II
not themselves guilty. may remove all
doubt to the proba bility of inno-
cence Of the principals in the case. The
request of the highest branch of the
government in such a great state can
not well be ignored by tho senators
at washington. The senate of Hi
nofs stands very close TO this whole
question II knows as much as any
legislative body can possibly know,
The whole thing has become nation
al question and there is interest in 1t
in all parts OF the country.
As the Ncwburyport News says: 1T
IS not only a case OF the United States
senate against the Illinois senate; it is
a case OF the United States senate
against the United States people. And
n the decision should be to make no
further investigation. il will be a case
OF the United States senate against
itself The senate OF the United
States must be above suspicion. The
day II coming when it is going to be
made so. But first the chance is put
into the hands OF the senators them
selves TO prove whether they feel as
acutely on a question Of their own
honor as the people feel for them"

SHORTAGE OF WATER.

The water problem is live ques-

to procure an inexhaustible supply. is
the only large city whose demands
for the immediate future seems to be
supplied. There are score OF cities
short of waaer in New England; and
Rutland. VT, and ole or two othens
have been as short as Norwich. Brook
lyn, n. Y. has less than 60 days sup
ply in sight. and New York has
enough for seven months.

Notwithstanding the $4,000, 900

That spirit is not dead among US.
To be sure the chances are quite slim
that any young man today will be
called upon to take W arms against
hence may see all wars beyond the
bounds of possibility, But does not
field remain in which ardent, high
minded youth can find a. chance for
that which is noblest in them? Those
were troublesome times but as Maj.
Henry L. Higginson said in a recent
address to Harvard students: All
times are, in sense, troubleus" Times
of peace may be times of moral ener-
walton, of community deterioration, of
personal retrogression. Those glad
inspiring words, honor, duty, ser
vice, which rang in the ears of the
boys in blue fifty years ago. have not
lost their eternal significance. 1t is
true that no glamor attaches to the
performance of the everyday, ordinary
duties, and that man may sometimes
rise to the emergency of great oppor-
tunity, who will let pass the average
chance to show himself pure, true,
brave and sacrifioial, but the patriot
ism that requires for its expression the
handling of powder and bullets, the
sword and the battleax, is far infe-
rior to the patriotism that scruples
not to do the steady, day-by- day work
of good citizen.
To secure righteous laws, to see that
they are properly administered, to pro-
vide safeguards for young life in the
ways of parks and Fairgrounds, to
fight tuberculosis and bad air, to see
that men and women who toll in fac
tories are not in daily jeopardy OF
their lives through the possibility of
fire or disaster that might be avoided
such commonplace service as this
is just the kind of work that will keep
the country free to prevent whose en-
slavement and disunion our fathers
freely and gladly poured out their
