USE PRISON LABOR.
Judge Gibbons, OF Chicago, Advocates
the Employment of COnvicts an
Road Builders.

The proposition to utilize prison labor
In the work of building roads is being
discussed everywhere. There is a dis
position manifested on the part of pub
lie officials to employ prison labor on
this class of work, wherever it is pos
sible. In recent address, Judge John
Gibbons, of Illinois, said:
1.-The number of convicts in Joliet
averages 1000 at all times, and every
one of these might be put to work max
ing good roads or preparing the ma
terial for their construction. l would
use this labor in building great high
way from Lake Michigan to the Mis-
sissippi river, and from some point
on the northern boundary of the state
to Cairo or some equally advantageous
town. l would utilize the labor of the
prisoners in the county Jail and in the
bridewell in building sea wall to re-
claim lands covered by Lake Michigan,
and convert them into the most mag
nificent park in the world, stretching
from the Indiana line on the south
to and beyond the city of Evanston on
the north"

TIMELY DAIRY TOPICS.

If the cow will convert her food into
milk, feed her all she will eat.
Don't keep the cows all the time
upon one food. Give them variety.
They like it.
If you have & common cow-a scrub
feed her generously, and take the
best care of her. She may astonish you
in results.
Has the COW been comfortable all
winter? If not she is losing you money.
The COW must be kept warm and fed
such foods as she can digest.
If you let the COW get cold, her milk
will shrink and she never again can
give as much milk as she did before
she was chilled, until she has another
calf.
Always feed the cow that is with
calf well; and remember that the calf
is a bunch of muscle and bone. There
fore feed such as will make muscle and
bone. Do not feed too much corn.
Pay no attention to the man who
tells you that you cannot feed quality
into milk. 1t is nonsense, pure and
simple. Good, rich food will make bet
ter milk.-Wcstern Rural.

DEVELOPING A REFER.
A Task That Calls for the Exercise OF
Considerable Judgment On the
Part of Dairymen.

Much of the value of a heifer as a
dairy animal depends upon the treat
ment given her during the two or TIN ee
months preceding the time of dropping
her first calf and the first year +-ter-
ward. She ought to be kept IN good,
thrifty condition, fed a good variety
of food, be handled to make her gentle,
and be given such care as is best calcu-
lated to develop her mother qualities.
When heifer first comes to her milk,
the milk glands that constitute the
udder are undeveloped. With these, as
with many other organs, growth is
stimulated by use.
But the desire to secure rapid in
crease of progeny in too many cases in
duces the owner to breed the heifer the
second time too soon, and the effect
of this is always detrimental to her
best development. Before the processes
of lactation have been fully developed,
q second process is introduced into the
system that is opposed to the produc-
ton of milk. The energies of the COW
are turned to the growing of the young
calf. One great secret in the develop
ment of a heifer for the dairy is to
defer the breeding for her second calf
for at least four months, and, in most
cases, six months would be better. In
this way all her energies may be de-
voted to milk production. As soon as
the milk flow is we'll established and
the danger of milk fever is past, her
treatment, both in feeding and care,
should be such as will enable her to
produce the largest quantity of milk
for the longest period.
One advantage in breeding the young
heifer so that she will drop the first
calf after grass and clover have made
a good growth is that the conditions
of milk production are then most IA
vorable, and, with good pastuage and
light feeding of bran and cornmeaI or
bran and ground oats, the young heifer
may be kept up to her full capacity OF
.Ii:iniS production.
At the start the udder should be
rubbed and kneaded as an aid to de-
velop it. Her treatment should be such
as will keep her quiet and gentle, and
her feeding should be such as will main
tain her in good, thrifty condition.

self to the Young Man Who

A bright flush overspread the face of the

sung out the cranks.
The stalwart young man carelessly lifted
his cap, replaced it, grasped his bat with a
firmer hold, moved it in graceful circles over
his shoulder, while the pitcher was doing
the preliminary mysterious juggling with
the ball that marks the high-priced player,

form to call it leather sphere-came

The high-priced catcher rolled the ball

perceptible signal to the high priced pitcher.
The vast crowd held its breath
Which is also the correct thing to do at a
critical moment like this
Like a shot the ball sped toward the plate.
With mighty lunge the young athlete

Another groan burst from the crowd.

FertiIize the Orchard.

It is certain that any crop will exc
haust the soil in time, whether of grain,
grass or fruit. On some farms may be
seen orchards of apple trees over half
a century old. Every year these trees
have produced fruit, and in return have
received nothing in the form of fertil-
izer. 1t is estimated that an ordinary
apple crop removes from an acre of
soil about so pounds of nitrogen, 40
pounds of phosphoric acid and as
pounds of potash. When clover is grown
IN the orchard the land is benefited by
having its proportion of nitrogen in
creased, but it will gain nothing in
mineral matter. The land devoted to
apples should receive fertilizer or ma
nurc every year, and when there is a
heavy crop of apples in sight the fruit
should be thinned out in the early stages
of growth.-Rural World.
