The diocese of Hartford is cotermi- nous with the state of Connecticut.
 Commenting upon the elevation six years ago of Rt. Rev. John J. Milan to. the office of bishop of the diocese of Hartford, the Catholic Transcript says:
 "Six years ago Thursday Right Rev. John J. Milan was consecrated bishop of Hartford. Never in the history of the diocese has the growth in popula ton been so considerable as during the period which has intervened since that date. We have just passed the half million mark, and 500,000 souls looking to the spiritual leadership of one man justifes the assumption that his cares and responsibilities are neither few nor light.
 "The episcopal burden Is a grave one, but he that bears it cannot make it lighter by sitting down and repin- ing over it's magnitude. Bishop Milan has fallen to his task with nnabated enthusiasm and with an abiding real ization of the seriousness and sacred ness of the labors which he is called upon to perform. His success has been in keeping with his industry and fidel- ity.
 After six years of unobtrusive eff fort, Bishop Milan has demonstrated to clergy and laity alike that the in terests of the great church of Con There is no stagnation, no sinking back, progress is visible everywhere. Vigilance and foresight appear in the formation of new parishes and in the establishment of religious centers where the faith and morals of people of every nationality are safeguarded and strengthened"

Among all the many good results
from diversified crops that were made

land In ribbon sugar cane OFF OF
this half acre he sold and saved 81
worth Of seed cane and he made 1893
gallons Of fine syrup. lie could have
sold every gallon at the mill for 75c
per gallon. This would be just III.
tie less than $500 per acre.
Mr.. Marvin Elliott ON the same farm
with Mr.. Smith had n quarter.acre OF
seeded ribbon cane. From this cane
he savaed 100 bundles OF fine fodder,
and made SO gallons OF good syrup
and cut the second growth OF the cane
and bailed Il for hay, making sixty
eight bales. or nearly two tons of good
hay.
Mr.. Jacob .sramek. living near Bry
an ON poor sandy land. had one and
n half acres In red.top sorghum. lii
made loco pounds of good fodder, for
~ bushels OF good seed. scarcely ever
worth less than 81 per bushel. and

which also Indirectly but vitality con-
tributes a most valuable element TO
secular education.
There Is function for both the
state and church schools to perform.
but they cannot meet the demands
upon them unless they are adequately
equipped and to match the large pro
ceeds from public taxation which go
to the support OF the state schools,
the members OF the churches must
make liberal contributions TO the
church schools in order that they may
be able to give the same high class
OF instruction in the arts and sciences
at the same time that they inculcate
those having principles of life EN-
bodied in religion.
Members OF the other Christian
churches OF this state are giving large
attention to the building up OF their
institutions OF learning and It is well
that they are. for as DIR. Truett so
forcibly points out. the spread OF re-
ligion depends In large measure up
on the extension OF Christian educa'

DELG|UM REFUGEES

London. Jan. 2l.--(Correspondencc
OF the Associated Press. Most Qf-the-'
100000 Belgian refugees tn England
have now been assimllated into Eng
fish social and Industrial life. About
10000 refugees formerly of the we'll.
TODD class are now maintained by
hospitality. as are also residue who
are unable to look after themselves
and are consequently maintained by
the government In n camp on one OF
the local exposition grounds. Work
has been found for practically all OF
the Belgian workmen. who number
about 10000 OF the 10000 men refu-
gees. There are now In England no
Belgians who are III for military sery-
Ice except those exempted for war
work. Very few undesirables have
been found among the refugees. and
thy were early taken In control.
In the early days OF the war, the
proposal was made TO establish a sep
arate Belgian colony but this fell
through and Belgians work under the
same conditions as Englishmen.
Three-fifths OF the refugees are wom-
en- and children. and of these large
numbers are employed in factories
and as servants and nursemaids.
Belgians now living as England's
guests are composed partly OF unfor'
tunates OF the lower class and partly
of persons. particularly women. whose
incomes have been cut off and Of pro-
fessional men past military age whose
clients have been scattered.
