North Carolina reports success IN the
employment of convicts in buildlhs
country roads. The reports show that the
cost per convict for support was SIX
cents a day less than when the men are
confined in prison. The calculation IS
made on the basis of returns from oo
COMMITTEES. One plan adopted Is to offer
the conyicts in the form of shortened
termsA and better provision, if they re-
main at,their posts and work hard with
out compulsion. Professor Holmes, Sec
retarv of the State Road League, says
that not one attempt to escape has thus
far been made. That may work as stated
in North Carolina, but We do not be-
lieve it would do in California. In the
southern, State all confined in County
Jails for petty crimes are classed as con-
victs. Largely these can be worked by
day and returned to safe quarters at
night without establishing stockades.
The convicts are mainly negroes VINO
seldom attempt to escape anyhow, and
have few friends and no means on the
outside to help them. In California our
convict class is by no means TO be hano-
died so easily Here convict camps
would be an absolute necessity with
strong forces Of guards, and subsistence
would of necessity be at greater cost than
in prison by reason of expense OF trans
portation; the maintenance of commits
sary quarters, etc. Besides the employ
ment of convicts invites the inevitable
conflict with free unemployed labor ana
would unquestionably be entangled with
political considerations that would rem
der the output Of the compulsory LABOR
more costly than the employment OF
free men. The place for convict labor
in California is within convict walls.

ARMOR PLATE.


San Diego Union: Whether or not
the price fixed by Congress for armor
plate, $500, is too low, it is probably
we'll that a limit has been placed.
There is a very prevalent belief in this
country that the men who have been
supplying this requisite for the new
navy, have been making more money
out of the Government than was called
for by their investment. The fixing of
a limit to the price, and, in the event
of no bids being received within that
figure, the proposed steps to establish

Santa Rosa Republican: The "Tri-
bune' of Winnipeg, Manitoba, pours
forth its little wall:
THE fact that all the miners from
Clondyke made for an American port
the moment that they reached civiliza,
ton indicates that they are not Cana
dams but foreigners. 1t seems too bad
that the moment that a bonanza like
the Clondyke is struck it should be
pounced upon by greedy Americans
who succeed in making fortunes in a
very brief time"
The lament of the Manitobian is
coupled with a spiteful screed and a
proposal that the Canadian Govern
ment take immediate steps to prevent
the ''rapaeious foreigners from delv-
ing for gold. thereby preserving the
treasures that lie hidden in the sand" :"
Surely we have a fine Illustration of
the fable of Aesop. The Canadian dog,
if he cannot eat the hay that lies in
the manger, would snarl at and bite
those who would partake of it.

The Catbird.

The catbird, like the thrasher is a
its home in tangle of wild grapevines,
greenbriers, and shrubs. where it is safe
from attack and can find it's favorite
food in abundance. 1t is found through
out the United States west to the Rocky
Mountains; occurs also in Washington,
Idaho and Utah, and extends northward
into British America. 1t winters in
the Southern States, Cuba, Mexico, and
Central America. The catbird always
attracts attention, and the intruder upon
it's haunts soon understands that he is
not welcome. There is no mistaking the
meaning of the sneering voice with
which he is salused, and there is little
doubt that this gave rise to the popular
prejudice against the bird; but the feel
ing has been increased by the fact that
the species is sometimes serious annoy
ance to fruit growers.
The stomachs of 2l3 catbirds we're ex
amined and found to contain A per
cent. OF animal (lnsect) and DO per cent
OF vegetable food. Ants. beetles, cater
pillars, and grasshoppers constitute
three fourths of the animal food, the re-
mainder being made up of huge, mis-
cellaneous insects and spiders. One
third of the vegetable food consists of
cultivated fruits. The rest of the vege-
table matter is mostly wild fruit, such as
cherries, dogwood sour gum, elder
berries, greenbrier, spice berries, black
alder, sumac, and poison ivy. Although
the catbird sometimes does considerable
harm by destroying small fruit, the bird
clu not be considered injurious. On
the contrary, in most parts of the coun-
try it does far more good than harm, and
the evil it does can be reduced appreci-
ably by the methods already pointed
oIt.-Fdrmer's ReUieto.

Extra quality can be looked for only
in the improvement of breeds and in
judicious selection. Feed enough of a
mixed ration to increase the quantity
OF a cows milk, and the product will be
the best of which she is capable. 1t is
now established that an extra quantity
of nutritious food will not increase the
percentage Of butter fats.
Cows may be fed very cheaply through
the winter on straw and poorly cured
corn fodder, but they cannot be ex-
pected to produce much on such food.
The owner will certainly be out at lea st
the cost of their keeping-whatever that
may be.
When butter selling is dull a profit
able trade to fall back upon is the sell
ing of cream. and such a trade can be

The fallow field has no longer place

AGRECULPURE.

To call snow the poor mans manure
is not all nonsense. 1t is cover, and,
therefore, a mulch, and converts the
plant food in the soil into forms readily
assimilated, although it adds no new
elements. This should at least be a
hint that other coverings should serve
the same purpose.
The farmer need supply nothing but
potash, phosphoric acid and time to the
fields devoted to clover, for nitrogen,
the most expensive of the elements his
lands demand, will be supplied by nature,
being taken from the atmosphere by the
clover itself.
American farmers do not understand
the management of small pieces of
ground as they might as they are used
to cheap land and large farms. We
might learn some very profitable lessons
from the immigrants who come to US,
for they grow rich where an American
would slowly starve.
Verify. every question has two sides.
II manure is allowed to lie in the heap
and ferment, the moisture and warmth
sprout and destroy most of the weed
seeds. and prevent the manure from
fouling the land, as it so often does
when hauled out fresh.
Do not go into winter quarters with
out plenty of food on hand for the mind
as we'll as for the body. Keep the youpg
folks in mind while making the selec-
ton. For yourself. have practical works
on the different branches of agriculture,
together with books of instruction along
general lines.
We see grain fields every day which
could be turned into meadows or pas
lures with profit Consider the cost
before again putting the pillow to certain
fields. and see if you can not do better
with them than you have been doing.
A loss may be escaped if such be turned
over. seeded down and given up to good
stock.
Shredded fodder should not be run
through the machine until it is entirely
dry and well cured. Thus treated, it
will keep in the NOW and be free from
mustiness. 1t will be relished as long
as it lasts.
Shredded fodder wastes less because
it is eaten up cleaner; the refuse makes
better bedding; it is easier to handle in
the manure pile; it does not hurt the
mouths of cattle; it packs more econom-
ically in the NOW.
