A Just judge,

"The Chicago Tribune" recently pub
lished an item in effect that Judge r.
s. Tuthill, in the Cook County Circuit
court, rendered a decision that might
fifty be termed a blight on the ''loan
sharks" We are not personally IA
miliar with the a 9 in question, but
it appears that a man borrowed 1926,
paid back $500, and still found himself
indebted to the sum of $221.50. It
would be we'll for men II the number
of such judges could be multiplied end
lessly, and similar cases come before
them for adjudication. AS things are
today those who can least afford it are
too often obliged to pay extortionate
rates for money they are obliged to
borrow. But Justice administered in
all such cases as this one would result
in closing up a lot Of concerns that
take advantage. Of peoples circum-
stances to wiring from them blood
money in the way Of interest charges.
There should be laws rendering such
diabolical business impossible; there
should. be some way devised to assist
honest persons, at legal rates of in
,terest; but in the absence Of these 1t
is most gratifying to find a Judge who,
when the opportunity is given, has
the courage Of his convictions. and
deals a body blow that well-nigh
knocks the life and snap out Of the
offenders.-American Progress.

.,m,.,. nr,ed1nc Of Horses.

It is a fact we'll established that
much of the breeding by u farmers Is
aimless. Horses are bred and fed u
a marketable age, only to be sold at
a low price on account of coming unoef
no particular class. Before starting 10
breed, a farmer should make a study
as to the cl~assifcations for horses
in the market and strive to make
his product correspond to some n
of the classes. That is, if he means
to breed with the idea of selling. IL
he wants only a farm horse the oDoect
for breeding according to the classl-
fcation is not so great. But
farmers like to have a horse they can
either keep or sell as best suits their
needs. Even in the production Oh
horses for farm work there should pc
a w%en-deined aim. One horse Is
worth very much more than another
hosre on the farm. The fast stopper
is infinitely superior to the slow plod-
der. The breeding of any kind OF a
mare to any kind of a stallion should
stop. Select both parents with care
and consider the mutual effect of the
n on the other. :.

A Fright Girl Uses . Handkerchief and
Has Lots Of Fun.
At a little gathering uptown one
evening last week the conversation
turned to palmistry, says the Phila-
delphia Record. "Palmistry is a back
number" said a bright young West
Philadelphia girl. Il can read charac-
ter and tell fortunes with nothing but
a handkerchief to work on" She was
asked to illustrate her powers, and
readily consented. Turning to one Of
the young men, she asked him for his
handkerchief. "Take it in the center
between your thumb and f%orefinger,"
she commanded. That's right. Now
clutch it tightly in your other hand
and draw it through. That leaves
creases in your handkerchief, formed
by the lines in your palm. I shall
read your fortune from those creases,
which are really the reflected lines of
your character" Then she spread the
handkerchief out upon her lap and
studied the creases. After a few mo-
ments of silence she began in the ste
reotyped way to speak of a wealthy
marriage, a dark man to beware of
and similar stock phrases. AS she
knew the young man very we'll she
was also in a position to speak of sev-
eral characteristic traits which were
undeniably true, and which lent a
semblance of variety to the perform
ance. Now" she said, "take the
handkerchief in the center and bite
into it so as to leave the imprint of
your teeth" Amid breathless sus
pense the young man did as directed.
"Harder!" exclaimed the amateur
soothsayer. Bite it as hard as you
cant" The young man grew red in the
face in his efforts to leave the desired
impression. ooh, you bite too easily!"
exclaimed the girl. Then everybody
laughed, and the victim acknowledged
that the joke was, on him.

NO FUN FOR THE JUDGE.

He Tried Many Times to Find 1t, but

A certain judge from Louisiana, who
is noted far and wide for his gravity
and judicial bearing on the bench, and
for his great personal dignity at all
times, visited the capital the other
day with the firm determination of
having a good time. In his own words:
II decided to throw dull care, dignity
and all else that hampers a poor old
Judge in the enjoyment of life to the
winds of heaven and have just M

argued, and for once, just once, I'm
going to have some fun But it was
no use; my attempts met with a dead
failure. l started out all right, how
ever, with some gay and newly found
friends at a celebrated uptown cafe.
We were in the midst of the feast,good
stories were going around, and an oc-
casional song made the rafters ring,

Land for Soy Beans.

The land for soy beans should be
prepared about the same as for corn.
A Kansas grower says that listing is
not advisable as the pods grow too
close to the ground to admit of cult
waiting. Some that. have tried listing
have got fairly good results by filling
the bitches before planting, but the
seed should be put in newly prepared
earth, at least in the parts of the coun-
try where the rainfall is hardly suf-
ficient for the ordinary crops. Late
planting is advocated by many grow
ers, as this gives the crop a. good start
of the weeds. Farmers that have corn.
Kalr corn and sofa beans, usually
plant the Indian corn first, then the
Kafir corn and lastly the sofa beans.
The land is sufficiently warm by that
time to respond quickly. However,
the planting should be early enough to
permit the crop to receive moisture
from the rains that fall In the fore
part of the summer, unless the ground
is saturated with water sufficiently to
supply moisture for some time to
come. 49,,

When re INK

It is important that the practical
feeder be able to determine when
lambs are properly finished and in the
most satisfactory and profitable con-
dition for the market. This is not
always an easy task; experienced feed
ers are sometimes deceived. As an aid
in studying this matter, the following
directions. prepared by Prof. John A.
Craig of the animal husbandry de-
partment Of the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, for the instruction Of students.
are Of interest: When put into the
feed lot under proper conditions, lambs
will usually begin to show the intu-
ence of good feeding at the end of the
third or fourth week. During this
time they seem to be simply getting
into good condition TO put on flesh,
though it appears that some flesh is
being deposited internally. Toward
the end of that time many of the
lambs may be noticed standing lels-
urely in the sun in a partially
stretched posture. This pose in the
lambs is a delight to the shepnero.
The fattening process seems to extend
from the internal regions, and is hrst
in evidence at the tail. 1t then passes
along the back over the shoulder n
reaches the neck: from this line IL
| seems to extend down the sides n
over the breast in front. There are
six main points at which its
seems most in evidence-at the tail'
/ middle of the back, the neck the
| flank. the purse and the breast.

Heard in n Balloon.

J. NJ. Bacon, the Englishman who,
with his daughter, made a lofty blloon
ascent to observe the meteor shower
last November. tells some interesting
things about the sounds that reached
their ears. At q height of 5000 feet
the ringing Of horses feet on a hard
road could be heard. At 1000 feet
the %sDlashing sound made by ducks
in a pond was audible. The barking
of dogs and the growing Of cocks
could be heard at 1000 or 5000 feet.
These sounds penetrated through a
white floor Of cloud which hid the
earth from sight. In the perfect ST.
lence of the air around the balloon
they were startled by what seemed
stealthy footsteps close at hand.
Investigation showed that the sound
was caused by the stretching of the
ropes and the yielding Of the silk as
the balloon continued to expand

Immediate Care Of Plants.

If we wish to move a plant, shrub
or evergreen to some other place on
our grounds, We use the greatest care
to take up as many as possible Of the
ibrous roots, carrying with then a
considerable amount of earth to en-
sure a greater number of rootlets be-
ing in an unbroken condition, choos-
ing If possible 2 time when the soil
is moist, that earth and roots may re-
ceive as little disturbance as possible.
If we see our plant roots bristling with
little white feeding rootlets We have
more hope of the future results. And
yet the carnation grower desires to re-
move his plants when all the dirt will
fall of.
We must carefully consider the con-
dition of our plants when received and
at time of planting. They may have
been so packed as to give us foliage
bright and fresh in appearance, but
with roots dry and leafless. We must
then put them in a cool place, dampen
the roots and sprinkle freely with
fresh soil, examining in a few hours
and cutting away dead portions, fol
new roots can only come from those
that are alive. In the meantime We
must prevent willing of the plant, II
we do not wish to sacrifice any of it,
present growth. Sometimes the nurs'
eryman packs so loosely that nearly
all is dry; or else he packs so closely
that decay has set in, when our knit'
must stop the decay. II trees o.
shrubs are large it is impossible u
grow them with any amount Of fn'
roots so they can be packed safely u
