Proposed by the county supervisors
An the Second congressional district
lt the legislature be urged TO give
yards of supervisors fun control over
children Of dependent parents.
~ Application for support of children
4 should be deemed sufficient proof Of the
inability of the parents to care for
them, the Second district supervisors
think. and the county board should
have the power to make such disposal
of the children aus the board may deem
best for the interest of such children.
A resolution to this effect was adopted
in the meeting of the Second district
supervisors, held in Clinton. and will
be presented by them to the state con-
vention OF Supervisors.
George G.. Campbell, of Clinton sec
retary5o OF the Tri-City Labor Congress
of Clinton. Lyons and Fulton, has been.
sending out letters urging labor organ
izations in the state to take such action
against what he considers an inhlInan
proposition. Mr.. Campbell says in his
letter:
II am instructed to call the attention
OF the central labor unions of the state
to this peculiar resolution, whioH has
called forth considerable unfavorable
comment from unionists and from
many Christian people. You will notice
that under this plan If you are mar
ried man with four or FIVE children and
have hard luck, get out of work, are
taken sick and should apply for relief
your children would be taken from you
and disposed of as the supervisors may
deem best.
The sense of the congress is that the
poornaster should be a union man of
good morals and married; that he
should visit the homes Of applicants for
relief and learn their needs relieving
their needs so they will not suffer for a
week or two. He should endeavor to
find employment for them at city or
county work till they are on their feet.
Women can do sewing or other work
that county has to hire done. Men
can s-sv wood, help make roads or
clean the sidewalks, as is now done in
Dubuque. The money to pay for car
{ ing for the poor should be taken from
the mulct tax receipts which T.. this
county are $4,000 a year. The pauper
expense for last year was IS. 000.v

Brushing n Derby Hat.

Some men will buy two or three
black derby hats a season, and these
will always look rusty and old. Other
men will buy not more than one n

his hat with stiff bristled whisk, and

that a currycomb or n rake would have
on n suit of clothes. 1t wears the nap

A Wonderful Bird.

The carrier pigeon had been away

had not forgotten the way home. 1t
brought a note from hansen, stating
that all was going well with him and
his expedition in the polar region.
Nansen had fastened message to
the bird and turned 1t loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
bliZzardy mir. 1t flew like an arrow
over a thousand miles of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles Of ocean and plains
and forests. and one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she
had been awaiting so anXiously.

and endurance, but this loving little

His Life For a Hand.

In little town or village In Glouces-
tershire there Is church which
contains the mortal remains OF one Of
the old Crusaders In moldering ef-
figy he is depicted on the TOMB, while
By his side IL -cold e!oquence Is .maged
the form OF his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft of one OF the
hands. and the story runs that the
Crusader, while fighting In the east,
was made prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin. who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave n newly welded
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss.
'Ihe love of woman Is as fleeing
breath" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. well, then"
replied Saladin, Il will promise on my
oath as soldier that il this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send it TO me | will set him free 10
go to her" BY tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and She in
all piteousness for him who was her
lover and her lord, caused her hand to
be cut off and sent 1t to the sultan,
who kept his word and set the Cru
sader free.-Notes and Queries.

For the Farmer

Nine years ago, when l took the
management Of Deerfoot farm, there
was large tract of run out pasture
land, covered with brush and stones,
,,l.yg h,st,l. Smith in The American AZ,
riculturist. cut out the top stones
and carted them off, then plowed and
followed the pillow with men with
picks and bars, digging out the stones
in the bottom Of the burrows and
throwing them back. Later they were
carted off. AS l had time after doing
the regular farm work, | kept on and
have reclaimed 20 acres of this kind
of land, using most of the stones in
building farm roads. After the stones
are off, the land is narrowed, and all
roots and niger heads are carted off.
1t is then sowed to Hungarian grass,
rye or peas and oats, according to the
time of year we get to il.
After the crop Is off piow again and
manure and harrow II in and seed to
grass in August or September. We
have had great success cutting good
crops of hay. The soil is heavy loan.
,underlad with clay, and not adapted
TO hoed crops. Some parts OF this 20
acres needed draining, so we dug ditch
es about three or four feet wide and
three feet deep and filed them with
stones, first putting in the large stones
and finishing the top with quite small
ones and covering them with swamp
grass or turf to keep ont the dirt till
the covering was settled. These drains
serve not only TO drain tie land. but TO
get rid OF the stones.
| have also reclaimed &c acres of
swamp land, some Of ii muck swamp
ten feet or more deep. so soft a team
could not get on X { cept In winter.
What grass grew on il had to be car
ricd off with forks or poles. First.
dtched. leaving open bitches on part
of it and stone bitches on the rest.
then tried blowing where the team
coud go without getting mred. but
found | could not do it, as no plow
Golfer could cut the boys, the plow
tearing up great flakes four to six feet
square then set men and teams to
carting sand or gravel from a bank
close by, getting on from 100 to 40
loads day, according TO distance, and
covering from & TO Is Inches deep, or
enough to cover all tUri and lunches
of water grass. and levcling it all in
good shape.
The muck swamp was treated in the
same way. only it was done in the win
ter when The top was frozen hard
enough TO hold up the teams Now we
can drive anywhere with a team with
Il load Of hay or manure. After the
sand was on we cartod on manure,
wheeled it in and soWci to grass and
are now cutting fine crops Of hay.
Part OF this swamp have had turned
over this fan, and il plows as well as
any land. We have - or II men on
the farm who care for and milk the
cows and do the regular farm work
The farm men and teams have done all
this work, with the exception of about
$500 paid ont to Italians for ditching.
