unwarranted Comnarisnns

An eminent business man has been
quoted, without making denial, as
saying that present conditions In the
United States presaged an upheayal
more terrible than the French revolu-
ton. II he said 1t. he doubtless did
not intend more than mere hyper
bole, but nevertheless such agitation
should be Left to lips of incendiaries
without weight.
No two periods in history could be
much more unlike than that imme-
diately preceding the French revoIu-
ton and this in free America today.

Education and Divorce.

An eastern school for girls boasts
that Of its 1000 graduates not one
ever has been a party to a divorce.
We do not know what proportion Of
its 1000 graduates have married, the
majority, We suppose, since they are
young women, but the record is mani
testify one to be proud Of. 1t might
even be held up as one of the very
greatest attractions of this college,
though to the credit of the institu-
ton, be it said, 1t is not making such
a commercial asset of it.
What proportion of these young
women have distinguished themselves
for their erudition since leaving
school, what proportion have
achieved fame in the forum Of public
activities-art, literature, the pro-
LESSONS or business or even in some
Of the conspicuous spheres OF woman's
political emancipation, We do not
know and, evidently, their alma
mater does not care. Not one has
been divorced. That is record
enough. Womans most natural
sphere is the home. These women
seem to fit into homes, seem to adorn
them with natural womanly grace.
seem to know how to meet their
many little perplexities and annoy
ances, to exhibit patience, love and
forbearance in their relations with
those whom they have accepted as
their helpmeets In the preservation
of the firesides and the rearing of
families. They seem to forget self
long enough to remember that life's
most sacred bonds should not be
sundered merely to satisfy fleeing,
personal within or caprice; to realize
that there is a higher mission In this
world than the serving of a sordid
temper or perverse will and that for
man or woman the noblest work is
to perform the part of husband or
wife, father or mother in perfect
felicity and concord.
What has education to do with
matrimony? Just this: Education's
prime function is to teach young
men and women how to live before It
teaches them anything else. The
character and standing Of this old
New England institution is answer
sufficient to any carping criticism
about a schools right to delve into
the amenities Of matrimony We do
not know what course 1t pursues. by
what examples or precepts this school
reaches its young women on these
matters. but obviously 1t inculcates
some lessons which they seem to re-
member and practice with most
magnificent fruitage and 1t can make
no difference about the rest. This is
one instance where, surely. the means
justify the end. And for other
schools for girls, whose artistic
temperament may be finer. whose
reach into the delicate details of
social prestige may be more extensive,
whose young women know more
about certain useless foibles OF fash
ion. this school with 1000 undlvorced
graduates stands as a pattern.

SUMMER SEEDING OF ALFALFA.

This plan is being more aud mora
favored. says the editor of Farm and
Home. The seed must be sown early in
August so that the plants will get well
established before freezing weather. The
requisites for q successful stand and a
good catch. in addition to suitable
weather. are a finely prepared seed
bed. plenty of available plant food. good
seed and the right kind Of inocuiation.
The land should be we'll plowed and
narrowed at frequent intervals to con-
serve moisture and kill the weeds.
heavy application of stable manure or Of
commercial fertilizer Is essential. The
plants need considerable available nitro
gen to give them a quick, strong start.
Above all things the soil must be sweet
for In sour or acid soil alfalfa or other
other lesumes will not thrive A ton OF
lime to the aero is generally not too much
to apply. This should be spread broad
cast and we'll worked into tho soil a
month before sowing the seed
Experiences differ as to the amount of
seed 10 SOW, some being successful
with as little as eight pounds to the acre.
while other growers advise using 80
pounds. Enough seed should be used so
that there will be several plants to each
square foot Of ground. but On irrigated
land the seeding may be lighter than
where irrigation IL not practiced. Unless
the land has grown alfalfa or sweet
clover, it will be well to tnocuaate 1t with
alfalfa bacteria
Two methods OF incubation are avail
| able; one Is to use several hundred
pounds per acre Of soil from an alfalfa
field. While this Is probably the surest
way, there Is sometimes danger Of intro
| ducing dodder or other noxious weeds.
The other method. and the easiest and
simplest, Is to inoculate the seed with a
pure culture There is no danger OF IN.
Producing bad weeds through this method.
Failures in soil or seed incubation have
been sometimes due to poor culture. bue
more often to Improper methods OF APP
plcation. The inoculated soil or seed
must not be sown during a bright sunny
day, for the sunshine will kill the bacteria
germs very quickly. Choose a cloudy day
