Grand Rapids morning telegram., 1885-02-23

The abolition of the contract prison
labor system in this State is making
good headway toward success; but when
that shall have been accomplished we
shall bee met with some perplexing ques-
tions. In New York State where a law
similar to MIR. Egan's bill has lately come
into operation, the old contracts are ex-
piring and more than two thousand con-
victs are out Of work. Something must
be done with them and the question Is
what 10 do. The superintendent calls
upon the Legislature for an immediate
appropriation Of 100000 merely to start
a project for employing the convicts. He
estimates that it will cost S2,5OO,OO0 to
build and equip manufacturing plants
cepable % furnishing employment for all
those cOnvicts.

in the very finest Saxon, the bucks
always carrying more than the ewes.
The system of washing in cold water
on the sleeps back never results in a
washed fleece fit for the manufacturer
but only the eradication of an I'M
known and uncertain part ofthe yolk,
contained in the fleece, which is thus
changed into an understandable
commodity to be sold OH its uncer-
tain merits as to shrinkage. The
name or designation of washed wool
has ceased to have any charm, and
the sooner the practice of washing is
entirely abandoned, the better it will
be for the sheep, their owners, and
the trade generally.-Wool Journal.

One Special Value of ChIdren's Photographs
Apart from the Obvious sentimental

dealing, why parents cannot afford to
let the days and months slip by with
out having their little one photo

scientific value in pictured record of

in Intelligence and in the healthful
development which is beauty of the
best kind to the eye of science, or the
gradual retrogressioni in either or both,
may escape the eye Of persons who are
in constant association with the
subject of the subtle change. Com
parison of the sun-portrait of to-day
with one taken a year or eighteen
months ago will reveal the change to
the intelligent observer. In some in
stances the stealthy advance of disease
has been announced to those most in
terested III the victims welfare by the
shock Of discerning a new expression
in the eye; in noting the altered con-
tour of the face and lines of pain or
languor which have been transferred
to the sensitive plate. AS faithfully
it betrays the slight obliquity of vision
the habitual scowl, the truth that one
shoulder is higher than the other, or
that all inclination to stoop is narrow
ing the chest.-From "Photographing

Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1885-06-24
Treatment of Sheep

There are many reasons why the
few growers who still persist should
abandon the habit of washing their
sheep before shearing, and we know
of not single argument in it's favor.
The practice was inaugurated at all
early day, and it is a relic of old times
when the wool shorn from the
small f1ocks in the Eastern States was
largely used up at home. Then it was
necessary to wash it either before or
after spinning. Those days are passed
and both the sheep and their owners
ought to be glad of it.
The yolk in q healthy fleece is
natures preservation of. the fiber. 1t
is soapy matter, with a strong pot
ash base, resembling no other animal
secretion; it is, in fact, soap, with
more or less free oil. 1t preserves the
elacticicity of the fiber, and should be
left in the wool until it is wanted for
manufacturing use. Manufacturers
well known that secured wool, in
time becomes brittle and loses it's
elacity, while unwashed retains all it's
good qualities indefinitely. It is
doubtful if anybody ever saw moth
in unwashed wool. It is as rule,
free from all vermin. The percent
age of yolk in healthy focks of even
grade is quite uniform, but varying in
different breeds from twenty-five per
cent in the Leicester and other coarse
breeds to fifty to seyenty-five per cent

THE NEW EDITION OF
WOrcester's Dictionary
Contains Thousands of Words not to
be found in any other Dictionary.

"Worcester's is, in the estimation Of all
scholars, the best dictionary extant for gen.
eral use. There is certainly no real compar-
ison possible between it and its most popular
rival. The office of dictionary is of course,
not to make innovations, but simply to
register the best usage in spelling and pro-
nunciatiOn. This Worcester does, and this
its rival conspicuousfy fails to do.''-NeW
York World
"Years ago Worcester's Dictionary was
recognized, in England as well as in the
United States, as the best in existence by the
very best writers and students. It has a still
higher claim to this distinction in this new
edition, which makes other dictionaries
superf1uOus, and serves also as a cyclop9dia;
q textbook on the language; vocabulary of
Greek, Latin, Scriptural, and modern proper
names; collection of proverbs, phrases and
quotations of all languages, and complete
collection of English synOnymes."-Phitatlel

Summer Seeding to Grass.

The most successful seeding to
grass may be done in July and Au-
gust, after the grain crops are taken
off. The present season has been a
bad one for the seed soWn last fall.
The hard winter destroyed the timo-
thy, and the late spring has interfered
greatly with the seeding Of the clover.
AS a rule, it may be said that summer
seeding is more successful than fall
and spring seeding, but the ground
must be thoroughly well prepared.
The whole secret lies in this prepara-
ton. The following plan has been
found excellent. The stubble is well
plowed, not more than four inches
deep, and Immediately narrowed in
thorough manner. There are several
new implements which do this work
in the best manner, pulverizing the
soil, leveling the surface and smooth
ing it, so as to get the land in the
most perfect condition for the seed.
After all this has been done, and the
furrow marks obliterated, the seed is
sown and the surface Immediately
rolled. If this is done in July, moth
ing more is required. If 1t is left
later, it will be desirable to SOW tur-
nip seed, at the rate of one pound per
acre, with the grass seed. This affords
protection for the young grass and
clover in the fall and winter. We
have found it a good plan to leave
the turnips on the ground and not
gather them. They will be killed by
the frost. and the leaves falling
down. furnish protection to the grass
during the winter, and in the early |
spring, when so much damage is
usually done by the alternare thaws
and frosts. The grass will usually |
furnish one cutting the same season,
but it should not be pastured, as the
surface is not yet firm enough, nor
the plants sufficiently we'll rooted to
stand such a tax.-American Agrcul-
turist for July.

A FlEND'S ACT.
A Lady Bound, Gagged aud stripped TO
the Waist is FiOsged with a Rawhiie.

BRookLYN. N. Y, May l..
An action has been begun in the Supreme
court against G. A. Limpkin, of the firm of
Skidmore. Brawn & Co., stock brokers in
New York, by Miss Olive Gordon for $40 900
damages for an alleged assault. Miss Cor
don alleges that she had for long time lived
with Limpkin as his wife in New York. That
on several occasions he abused her until AT
the beginning of last March she was com.
PEELED to leave him. She further alleges that
on the evening of March 9th she met Limp
kin .on the street. He expressed regret for
his conduct and wished to resume his former
relations with her. At his request she went
to q house on Thirteenth street, where he
was to join her later and complete arrange
ments. On his return, plaintiff alleges,
Limpkin. seized her by the wrists, bound her
hand and foot and gagged her. lie then
stripped her of her clothing to the waist and
piled the rawhide over her bare shoulders un-
Ill weakened from loss of blood she tainted.
When she recovered consciousness Limpkin
had gone, but her hands and feet were still
bound together, By a desperate effort, Miss
Gordon SAYS, she released her hands and feet,
dressed, called a carriage and was driven
home.
Miss Gordon claims that she is related to
some of the first families OF Long Island, and
it is said that Gordon is not her right name.
