was fined altogether $12 1t was shown
that he had narrowly missed running
Down a little child Johnson asked
the recorder if he didn't think the fine
was a little steep. The recorder
thought it was not and pointed out
the narrow escape johnson had had
from a charge of manslaughter. Now
if he had killed that child ana it was
likely that he would have killed some
body if he had gone On unrestrained,
he would be in jail, and if ne escaped
the penitentiary at all it would be at
a fearful cost in the way of attorneys
fees. He said that the city had done
johnson a good turn at the expense OF
criminal lawyers, who would dOubt-

not being fairly treated by the mu-
nicipality which they were helping
support Upon this presentation of the
| case johnson grew cheerful and said
that his conscience would have hurt
him if his fine had been less and the
court would have been really rOb0ing
the city.

people even among the farmers that
do nct fully understand or appreciate
the value cf the experimental farm.
They have an .iea these tracts of land
are to simply be model farms, intend
ed to be run as a pattern for the local
agri1ultuIalist. On the contrary, there
is not an experimental farm anywhere
probably that will pay expenses. Their
work is to take up special subjects CT
investigation for which the average
farmer has neither the scientific train
ing or the equipment, and pursue tao
same at whatever expense may be
necessary till final Tsults are obtained !

of the theory advanced. BY noting
the result of these Investigations the /
farmer is enabled to take advantage of !
new ideas and to discard ether pop
ular, but fallacious theories, without /

The experimental station is the 1arm- !
ers best and most practical friend. !
No attempt is made to tell the farm Il /

A PORCINE MYSTERY. -Hosea
Ireenhaw has taken a lay-off for few
days to solve a problem which is of
he nature CT a mystery. A week ago
he shipped a lot of hogs t. Los An
geles. Among them was SOW which
ne especially wanted to depcrt. She
was the terror of tr3e ne:ghbo: hood

hat might have existed between Mr..
1re-enhaw and his neighbcrs for miles
around, fer she couldn't be kept any
where and was more destructive OF
.rops than a hailstorm or a cyclone.
The cid SOW was captured by strategy,
,ut- into a strong box and brought to
cwn. Mr.. Greenhaw saw her fire.
Iuently while the hogs were being
oaded. At last re saw her put in and

,reenhaw received returns from the
hipment in due time. Nothing was

ection. Last Sunday morning a man
rom the mex township called on Mr.
IreeRlhaw and angrily reported that
he old sow twas laying waste the
ountry. Mr. Greenhaw replied that it !
yas a case of mistaken identity, for
he old sow could be doing nothing
lore than impairing the digestive ma :

lsisted that he was familiar with the
1rm and features of the old sew by
ing, painful ard expensive assoc1a-
on. and could not be mistaken. Mr..
reenhaw went along with him and
as convinced and asitOunded. 1t was
