How to Use Feed Roller.

Never use a roller Immediately
after a heavy rain. But it should be
used as soon as the surface becomes
dry enough to %pulverize easily with
out packing tightly. The roller should
be used in dry seasons following the
harrow to keep the moisture In the
soil. OF course 1t is not possible to
8 the roller to any extent after
plants are we'll up but 1t can always
be used to great advantage in the
preparation Of the seed bed. Very
often one rolling will not mash all the
clods and if the ground is particular
~ rough it should be narrowed and
rolled and narrowed again until the
soil is thoroughly p~ulverized.

Stalking Tomatoes.

This is a comparatively new prac.
tice, but it is working out fine, and
even market gardeners are adopting
it on a large scale. Up to recently It's
chief use was by village people in
their small backyard gardens, but Ia
nov used by growers who are sup
plying a No. 1 trade. It's advantages
are that tomato plants can be
grown on a given area; they can be
started earlier because they can be
easily protected in case of a danger
from frost and that more and better
tomatoes can be grown on the plants.

(By R. G. wEATHERsroNE.)

The presence Of weeds on many
farms demands that more rigorous
measures be taken for their destruc-
tion. 1t Is plain that so long as so
few pastures, meadows and cultivated
crops are used In rotation with grain
the farmers will find it very difficult
to keep the weeds In check.
Summer following may destroy
weeds, but it requires a great deal of
labor during the entire season, when
no crop Is obtained from 1t.

Recognizing the fact that the Ger
man element, which composes fully
one-half of the $4,000 Catholics in Ar
kansas, is, by heredity, national GUS
toms and belief, almost unanimously
opposed to prohibition of any kind,
Mgr. Lucey goes on to say:
"A pastor OF a congregation and a
vicar general of a diocese should not
take position on a public question,
in my opinion, that would place his
spiritual children in a state of en-
barrassment and disgrace unless a
principle was at stake and peril to
their souls was imminent. If the
present prohibition movement were
made exclusively religious affair
and limited to church influences the
Catholic pastor could easily unite
with his Protestant brethren, but
when the power invoked to suppress
the liquor traffic is chiefly evil and
not spiritual he is not at liberty to act
according to his individual judgment
as pastor of congregation.
personally | am in favor of local
option, high license, statewide prohibit
ton or anything else that is calculated
to bring to an end the frightful evils
which liquor has introduced into
Christian homes and social circles.
AS an individual | will vote for state
wide prohibition, using my right as a
citizen of the land.
Il will take this course without die
tating to the members of my congre-
cation what they shall do, because |
believe that the moral power of all the
churches in the state is insufficient to
stem the tide of advancing crime or
to regulate or suppress the evils of the
liquor traffic. There are no doubt
some good men among saloon keepers,
although all our greatest fraternal So
cieties refuse to make any exception
in their refusal of membership to the
craft. | have known Catholics in the |
liquor business who attended mass
every morning, received holy commun-
ion once a week and were liberal sup
porters of the church. But we must
keep in memory that saloon keepers as
a body have never obeyed the laws of
the land and there is no prospect that
they will do so in the future. The
good men in the saloon business are
in the minority. Although they have
unions and organizations, the vilest
dens of liquor traffic, where gambling
and accompanying vices flourish, have
never been suppressed and never will
be, and young men will continue to be
duped and ruined The failure of the
societies of saloon keepers to eliminate
the criminal features of their business
and place it on level of respectable

gauntlet to law officers and good citi- |
