I have seen a picture In an old book of an angry husband entering the house carrying a switch, and of his wife cringing and begging for mercy, as I did as a child In the presence of an angry father. (In this old picture, also, Is the figure of a woman evident ly the wife’s mother, who begged for mercy, too, as my mother begged for mercy for me). Wives have taken the switch from the hands of brutal husbands. Men have granted equal rights, but the women are still screaming as though regularly whipped. Men of today sub mit to the gross absurdity of police women, stateswomenTbut the women are as busy as ever In telling of wrongs long since remedied.

In our extravagant and wasteful American way, marrying has become more troublesome than a fire.

There Is also the trouble of attendance on the ceremony and reception, to say nothing of pres ents. Men especially do not wish to attend or buy, and for days previously are glowered at by wives who know they are trying to get out of It; for wives love weddings.

Alfalfa Seeding ill Exceed 1933 Retired Land in Illinois Is to Be Used for Starting New Meadows. By X. O. HackUmaa. .Crop* Ext anal on Spa WNU Sarviea. A new all-time record for alfalfa growing is expected to be set In Illi nois thir year in spite of the fact that the 1033 crop of 837,000 acres was a d in Itself.—At least part of the ,200 acres. of Illinois land that will be retired from commercial grain production under the various adjust ment programs will be utilized as an Ideal place for starting an alfalfa meadow while at the same time ob taining some Income from £he land In the form of benefit rental payments. Alfalfa may bhrseeded with or with out a nurse crop Use of contracted^ land for alfalfa and other crops is explained In a cir cular; "How Use Contracted Acres," which the college has Just Issued for distribution to Interested farmer*. Record plantings of alfalfa^are only one indication of the extent to which Illinois farmers are carrying out the college’s long-time teaching for the growing of more legumes on Illlno farms. This has been advocated for years not only as a means of adjust Ing production to demand but also of reducing production costs, of con serving land resources as a continu ing source of wealth and of controlling Insects and diseases. As most of one growing season is needed to establish a good alfalfa field, there Is ho better place to start than on the contracted acres. However, alfalfa should be seeded only where OLD TIMERS PASSING OF TWO VILLAGE FORUMS The motor car Is credited with broadening the horizon of whole peo- ples. With all dim respect to bea* fits accrued, tt must-be admitted that soma debits should be charged up to that contraption. Recently the passing of the Uvery , ■table was hymned as as effect of motorizing communities,' With this change must now be considered an other metamorphosis attributable to invention. It Is the change that has come over the barber shop. And that la a product of another Invention— the safety razor. Between the motor car and the safety razor, the man who remembers his oM home town can locate the slump of democracy. It seems ■ se rious charge, but it applies to the de struction of the old-time forums, and aipong these the livery stable and the barber shop wert rivals for first place as the rendezvons of the village debaters. In the more leisurely years, both were scenes of bitter ar gument over the burning Issues, for men were the chief custodians of the country’s political welfare, and the livery stable and the barber shop were essentially masculine. Hence they were Items In the nurture of democracy, since It was In these for ums that the great questions were settled and the preponderance of cm ley or another determined prior to ipna. But now all this is changed. The garage has failed to succeed the liv ery stable, and the barber shop has not only been taken over to some 'ex tent by feminine patronage, but It has fallen away as an essential la tha convenience of shavers, who have M Ramon Urau San Martin* former provisional president of Cubs, was car ried on the shoulders of the welcoming committee as be arrived at Havana from Mexico on the Uner Sierra Vertana.

Barley near a cornfield would be a worse hazard to tbe corn than would oats. Oats used as a nurse crop for alfalfa should be clipped before they bead out. If the oats grow too fast, they probably should be clipped twice so that no large amount of material will be left on the young alfalfa at any one time and thus endanger the stand. Alfalfa may also be seeded alone, after a thorough preparation of the seed bed If weeds have been kept under control for several years on tbe land. Such seeding will likely requite two or three clippings during the year.

Various Breeds of Sheep Differ in as Many Ways A dozen different breeds of sheep are common, says the New York State College of Agriculture. These breeds d^Ter In body form, weight, age at which they mature, type of fleeces, hardiness, and in other ways.

At harvest time the straw is raked off and usually the potatoes have formed on or near the surface of the ground.—Indiana Farmer's Guide. Seed Heat Sterilized .
