WANT OF PROPER CARE
Said to Have Been the Cause of Boy
Death at Westfield, Mass.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 1.-THE re-
port of Judge Homer b. Stevens on the
inques. over George Piersaull, the 6-year.
old Westfield boy, whose death on Feb. q
was believed to have been the result OF
cruelty, has been filed with the clerk OF
courts.
The judge finds that deceased came to
his death in consequence of a low and de-
biltated state of the system and want OF
proper care, and that this condition was
due to the ignorance and carelessness of
his parents, especially his step mother and
to their ill-advised, harsh and heartless
treatment

Notwithstanding the fact that only the
rich can afford to eat pork, and, to per-
petrate very bad case of Irish bull,
that the pig is really the goose that is
laying the golden egg for the farmer, a
surprisingly large number of reports
reach US of the practical loss of the
spring litters. The weather has been as
unpropitious for the pigs as it was last
spring, but the lesson Of that time was
thought to have been severely enough
enforced by the course of the market to
make such losses almost impossible. Ger
tainly many hundreds of farmers pre-
pared as never before to save the pigs
irrespective of weather, and they will
surely have their reward. The wonder
is that. any farmer could be so indifferent
or careless as to allow unfayorable
weather to rob him of large part of his
valuable pig crop. Of course losses are
bound to occur even with the best of
treatment. Accidents will happen in the
best regulated barnyards, but enough
reports have reached US to indicate that
the thoughtlessness, carelessness and
lack of judgment which last year left
thousands of farmers without pigs when
prices were abnormally high have again
curtailed the crop. A farmer must be
indeed rich If he can thus afford to pay
tuition in the school Of experience

When at the head of the announcement
of a horse sale you see the words, "Sale
without reserve, no combination. no by
bidding, absolute closing out, and when
at the end of the announcement you read
the name of a dead sure reliable horse

and bid on the animals you want. But
the reliable firms name at the end is in
dipensable.

Question and Answer.

Which of the following courses will
be more profitable: l. To keep20 cows,
selling the milk at p cents a quart, using
the manure. one-half on the meadow and
one-half for cultivated crops: or. 2, to
keep 10 COWS with milk at the same price,
putting all the manure on the cultivated
ground, and buying Canada wood ashes
at $14 ton and selling the bay which
the COWS in the first case would eat at
SIG Connecticut.
Answer-No man can answer such a
question fairly. There are too many
conditions that an outsider cannot coin
prehend. There is very little money in
milk at p cents per quart. Rye straw
and potatoes both ought to sell fairly
we'll with you. We understand that Con-
necticut farmers do not grow potatoes
enough to fill all the Connecticutmouths.
If you have land that is suitable for moth
ing but pasture, keep your 10 cows on
that. Build silo and put all your stable
manure on ensilage corn, following the
corn with potatoes, using 800 pounds or
more of a complete fertilizer. Then SOW
wheat or rye and seed to grass with
clover in the spring. You can sell most
of your hay and your rye straw. The
ensilage, with some clover hay, will feed
the COWS, with cottonseed meal and
other grain. This will give you milk,
potatoes, rye straw and hay for cash
crops. This is assuming that you have
a market for all these products. If you
have not the plan must be changed
