The crudity of human justice is
being more and more clearly recog-
nized, muses. the "Observer" of the
New York World. In Germany and
France the view gains ground that all
judges, before entering on their func-
lions should be compelled to visit and
examine jails, prisons aad penitenti-
aries, 50 as to fully understand the
natnre of the punishment which they
thereafter inhict 1t is also held that
judges should be more competent to
distinguish between mental soundness
and unsoundness. Competent German
physicians assert that large percent
age of the persons sent from penal in
stitutions to lunatic asylums must
have been insane at the time when
they committed the deed, for which
they were sent to prison, and should
therefore at once have been treated az
lunatics instead of as criminals.

TURNIPs AS A FOOD.

While not very nutritious, the tur-
nip is very pleasant change of food
for man and animal. II is also hardy
root, and easily kept during the win
ter. Scarcely any crop in the South
is produced SO quickly aud at SO small
cost.
1t is very large in proportion to the
space occupied. Indeed we know no
winter crop that yields more satisfoc-
torily than this. In the early spring
the leaves furnish very pleasant va
riety of salad for tho table when
nothing else of the kind can be had.
We therefore suggest that if the rains
come in season, our iarmer friends
make late sowing of the vegetable
for early greens in the spring. But
we would especially recommend that
the turnip roots now we'll grown
should be harvested aud banked like
potatoes for winter use. This should
be one after the first heavy frost be-
fore the ground has been hard frozen.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
HONEY FROM ALsrKE CLOVER.

Farmers should keep more bees
than they do. If they did Alsike
clover would be more sown. 1t has
the advantage of the common red
clover, that its honey is within reach
of the common bee. II makes light
honey quite as good as from the white
clover, and there is never any failure
to blossom, as there often is with
white clover in time of drought. BY
cutting some of the nlsike before it
comes into blossom the time when it
blooms may be protracted and thus
make the honey-produciug season
longer. Boston Cultivator.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Batten up the cracks.
Plug up the knot holes.
Give your fowls plenty of fresh
water.
Is the roof OF your hen house
leaky?
Don't let sick fowls run with your
we'll ones.
More roosters are Matched than pull
lets as rule.
A foot of roosting space for each
hen is about the proper rule.
What's the use of keeping all these
mongrel cockerels? Fatten them.
A warm mash at bed time is nice
thing for your fowls these cold nights.
Better begin to look after the tur-
key crop. You'll soon have to craml
corn into them.
Corn in some form, as ensilage,
cured fodder, or stover, is shown in
all the reported trials to be the cheap
est rough feed that can be grown for
stock in almost any section of the
country.
When hen is overfed she becomes
lazy and sluggish, is subject to indi-
gestion, becomes too fat, and will lay
but few eggs. Soft-shell eggs or
double-yoke eggs indicate that hens
are overfed.
Keep the tools not IN use under
shelter, out of the sunshine. The hot
sunshine is as damaging to the wood
work of farm implements and machin-
cry as rain. Keep the harrow and
cultivator teeth as we'll as the ploV
shares bright and free from rust.

PREVENTION OF RUST IN WHEAT.


L. b. Mayo of V. viesca, Coahuila,
Mexico, in recent letter compli-
menting the Scientific American,
wishes to know If there is any remedy
or preventive for rust in wheat. The
prevention of rust and smut of oats
and has been made tue basis of
series of special investigations and ex-
periments by number of investiga-
tors, while the Division of Vegetable
Pathology in the Department of Agri-
culture has particularly taken up the
subject of smuts in oats and wheat.
In Farmers Bulletin Number 5 OF
that division, tho experiments of the
division, as well as those made at the
different state experiment stations,
are summarized, the different methods
having for object the treatment of the
seed grain, since it has been found
that infection takes place when the
seed is terminating, from spores
which adhere to the seed when this is
| planted.
The soaking of the seed in hot water
has had many advocates, but success
depends upon exceptional care and
the process is some what complicated.
Potassium sulphido has also been used
with more or less success, the seed
being soaked for twenty-four hours
in one-half per cent solution of this
material but the preventive which is
recommended as superior to this is
the treatment with copper sulphate.
This consists in immersing the seed in
a solution made by dissolving pound
of commercial copper sulphate in
twcnty-four gallons of water for twelve
hours, aud then putting the seed for
five or ten minutes into lime water by
shaking pound of good lime in ten
gallons of water.
The bulletin above referred to con-
cludes with the following statement:
"These treatments have oil been tried
and have proved effectual. In some
parts of the country seed wheat is
treated in strong solutions of copper
sulphate and no lime is used. This
practice is much inferior, since it in
lures the seed, while those here pre-
prevent the smut completely and at
the same time do not iniure the seed
IL carefully followed. In all forms OF
seed treatment care should be taken
to spread the grain out to dry at
once, and by frequent stirring prevent
its spelling. The treated seed should
be handled only with clean tools, and
should be put in sacks disinfected by
boiling fifteen minutes. If these pre-
cautions are not taken, the seed may
be infected again after treatment, es-
pecially in case of sinking smut of
wheat. If the seed is to be sowN
broadcast, it will not have to be so
dry as if it is to be drilled-Scientific

Sawyer was severely damaged
Baker continued on his voyage, re-

There's q Difference in Dollars.

Claude N. Bennett says he went
to the mint in the City OF Mexico
and asked to have q United States
silver dollar weighed and compare
with Mexican standard dollar. The
Me- xican dollar went down in the
balance, and the United States went
up, showing the Mexican coin to
contain more silver. A little later
Bennett went into q restaurant. The
dinner cost 81. He paid with q
United States silver dollar. The
restaurant cashier took his United
States coin and handed him back q
Mexican dollar. Although the MeIi-
can dollar was heavier than that
from the United States, it was worth
only half as much. In Texas at the
railway eating houses a meal costs
so cents. Cross the border into
Mexico and you are charged 81 for
the same kind of meal, though il
you tender a United States dollar in
payment you will get back Me1i-
can dollar. The price is just the
same practically. 1t does look as II

nations had muddled things some

The Principles Involved.

The Pittshurg Times has compiled a
handy digest of the principles involved
in the success OF the administrations
side of the present state fight. We
ask every reader to peruse 1t with care.
The issues to be settled, II says. are as
follows:
l. The observance Of the mandates Of
the constitution OF the state by the law
making power and the fulfillment Of tho
pledges of the party that this shall be done.
IL. The maintenance OF the freedom Of
the popular executive OF the state, chosen
by the unparalleled majority OF nearly u
quarter OF million votes OF his fellow citi-
zens, from vicious and uncalled for at
tacks for doing his simple duty and the
prevention OF his conscientious efforts to
faithfully discharge the obligations OF his
high office being neutralixsd by an IRE
sponsible boss.
III. The securing to the Republicans CT
the great cities of the commonwealth and
also those OF every county, and smaller
community In II. the right to select for
themselves the persons whom they desire
shall fill their local offices. without out
side Interference from a nonresident po-
l.tical manipulation in behalf OF candidates
known to be unacceptable to the major
ity Of the voters and whose nomination
will invite party defeat.
". The establishment of the true Re-
publican principle that the local organiza-
tions Of the party shall be consulted in the
appointments to federal offices outside CT
the classified service within their several
districts and that their wishes shall not be
ignored at the mere behest Of a United
70 a ka ro, ~
Of some unpopular henchman Of his own,
regardless Of the effect upon the party.
V. The making 1t clear that no loyal
Republican shall be ostracised, punished,
or DETAINED. simply because he righteous
ly protests against foolish and unpopular
conduct on the part Of any leader. and
honestly endeavors to do what he believes
best for the party. though d!spleasing to
a would-be party dictator and autocrat.
VI. The making 1t evident that there can
be no juggling hereafter with the great
principles of the party by any Pennsyl-
yania leader and that the heresy of an un-
sound financial policy shall be specifically
condemned by the coming state conven-
ton.
VII. The establishment beyond all possi-
bility Of overthrow Of the great and vital
principle that there is no room for czar
or an autocrat in the Republican party Of
Pennsylvania and that the voice Of ma
jority Of It's voters must ever be more
potent than that OF any boss.
All who favor irresponsible bossism,
dlctatorial one-man power and the re-
pudiation at will, by the dominant
party czar, of popular sentiment and
party desire should vote for Quay dele
gates. All who believe in decent poll
tics and fair play should vote for Gilke-
son delegates. This is the Issue. In
nutshell.

A Quay Claim Riddled.

Saws the Pittston Gazette: Hast
ines and Gilkeson have carried their re-
spective home counties, Center ard
Bucks, during the past week. Both are
Democratic counties. The Republican
strongholds are found almost solldly for
Quay"
Let us examine this abatement. Last
fall Bucks gave Hastings 1888 and Cen
ter, s2l plurality. Does that look as IL.
under representative Republican Lead
ersh,o. these counties would remain
Democratic? 1t IL no. true that the
Republican stroEgholds are found al
most solidly for Quay. Since the pres
ent fight begun Quay has carried only
three counties--Columbia Greene and
Potter--while the state administration
has, in the same time, carried Bucks.
Center, ClearfIeld, Lacki1wanna, West
moreland and Northampton: three dele
gates against %. The shree Quay coun-
ties last fall gave net Democratic
plurality OF 1.1S3 as against a net Re-
publican plurality of 9.459 returned In
the same contest by the six Hastings
countier. Two OF the three Quay coun-
ties--Columbia and Greene-are rock
ribbed In the Democracy; only one OF
the six Hastings ounties-Norttpamp
TOMS Democratic.
But suppose we make the comparison
in another way. We have before US an
estimated table Of the comparative
strength Of the two factions In the cur
rent unpleasantness. This table V .
conservative one. and gives Colonel
Quay all or q. majority Of the delegates
from "a counties; while to Hastings and
'Csflkeson It gives all or a majority Of
the delegates from 81 counties. while
two counties,- Carbon ard Washington
ARE divided equally. Upon the basis
of the 9Iarrison-C Cleveland vote Of 1892
we find that the Quay counties have a
net Republican plurality OF 2o.164; while
the Hastings counties. in the same cam
paign, returned a net Republican piu-
radity Of 1885. On the basis Of last
falrs election, the Quay counties re-
turned net Republican plurality Of
only 7i.476, while the net plurality Of
the Hastings counties was 1s2.ss7.
y While the table upon which Eayese ng-
ures are based v alerely an estimate, Il
p sufficiently near the truth to AisprQys
