rurbin,. Anarchi.tic proposn,.

Gov. DurDn's proposal to send an
emissary to Kentucky to investigate the
jury system there and decide whether
or not 1t is fair is of itself violation Of
the plain provision of the constitution
of the United States. 1t is violation
of the constitution for a State official
to question the fairness of judicial pro-
ceedings of another State. See. 1, Art.
4 of the constitution provides:
Full faith and credit shall be given in
each State to the public acts, records
and judicial proceedings of every other
State.
There is no possibility of misunder-
standing this language, and there is no
possibility of not seeing the necessity
of such provision. Unless such n rule
existed it would be impossible to main
tain diplomatic relations between the
States. And this is especially true as
to acquisitions, which form the chief
part of interstate dealings. Section 2
of the same article provides:
"a person charged in any State with
treason, felony or other crime, who
shall flee from justice, and be found in
another State, shall, OH demand Of the
executive authority of the State from
which he fed, be delivered up, to be re-
moved to the State having jurisdiction
of the crime"
How could that be enforced If Gov
ernors were permitted to examine into
the judicial system of u sister State,
decide whether or not it was fair
and refuse to honor n requisition If he
held 1t unfair. Gov. Mount was shrewd
enough to evade such violation of the
constitution. His pretense was that If
delivered these fugitive assassins
would be in danger from the mOb-that
they would have no trial at all. That
was not questioning judicial proceed
ings, but asserting a state Of anarchy.
1t was not true, but 1t gave a basis for
excuse. Gov. Durbln's action removes
this pretense and puts him in the posi-
tion of openly and deliberately violat-
Ing the constitution of the United
States, he has sworn to support.-In-

Pasture for Poultry.

For the best results, the range is nee
essary during the summer for poultry.
The best calculations as to the area is
so by $50 feet for each twenty-five
fowls, and even space like this
should be divided SO that the fowls
can occupy one-half of it for say n
week, and then the next week occupy
the other half. If little grain is used
occasionally to scatter over its surface,
this will permit the unused half to get
new start and be ready for them the
next week. In figuring on this space
for the number Of fowls named, it Is
understood that the grass is thick and
young. Oftentimes, after haying, 1t is
good time to turn the entire flock on
to the meadows. They will pick up
an immense number of insects, and
will obtain more or less fresh young
blades of grass.

Value of Corn stoyer,

The Maryland Experiment Station
reports that by weighing the ears and
slower of corn, and analysing them,
they found 1880 pounds of digestlble
matter in the ears and 1912 in the sto-
yer, or 112 pounds more of food in the
slower than in the ear. Probably ii

as it often is where the corn shredder
has not come in use. And, by the way,
chemists say the lower part of the
stalk is more nutritious than that
above the ear.

spikes and the handles, which may b.
from any discarded plow, are bolted to
the side-pieces. The chains are at
tached to the side pieces by boring
holes in the latter. and after the chain
is inserted running a spike through
one Of the links. In using this crusher,
or drag, the operator stands ON the
tool whenever necessary to add
weight, using the handles mainly to
manage the tool in turning corners.

The old question of feeding wheat as
substitute for corn arises this year.
There have been many farm trials
from which results have been reported
very much in favor Of wheat as food,
but such results have not been borne
out by the more careful tests carried
on at the various State experiment sta
tons.
Their results show that wheat pro-
duces practically no better results
when fed to live stock than does corn.
The common belief that wheat is n
"far richer food than corn" is found
to be incorrect, though in its average
composition it is found to contain more
protein for bone and muscle than does
corn. In face of this fact 1t is proba-
bly, better economy to feed corn until
corn almost reaches the price of wheat,
and then, If wheat is substituted for
1t, it should not be fed in bulk as
thrashed grain. The feeder must make
sure that the wheat is given to the
animals in such n form that it may be
digested. Grinding or crushing the
grain adds to its digcstibility. Feed
ing wheat in the sleaf, or. if for hogs,
scattering the thrashed grain over con-
siderable territory, secures a more per-
feet mastication and better digestion.

Any young man who wishes to OBJ
tain an education at the Missouri State
University need not be deferred be-
cause of lack Of funds, because the
Young Mems Christian Association has
made it possible for every student who
desires to obtain work. This society
has maintained an employment bureau
for the last three years, and very sue
cessfully. AT the beginning Of the year
a7list of the places where work can be
secured is posted, and every effort to
assist young men to help themselves Is
made. The kinds of work which stu
dents can do are many, among them
carpentering, painting, gardening,
printing, type writing, bookkeeping,
janitor work, furniture moving, clean
ing, wood saving, repairing, ditching,
harvesting and SO on.
Hon. Martin G. Brumbaugh, United
States Commissioner of Education for
Porto Rico, says in his annual report:
Almost every school on the island has
an American flag. One hundred and
eighty were recently presented by the
Lafayette post, G. A. r., of New York
City. These now float over the new
schools opened in October last. The pa
triotic philanthropy of this post is
worthy of all commentator. In almost
every city of the island and at many
rural schools the children meet and sa-
lutte the flag as it is flung to the breeze.
The raising Of the flag is the signal
that school has commenced, and the
flag floats during the entire session.
The pupils then sing america" Hail,
Columbia" "Star-Spangled Banner"
and other patriotic songs. The marvel
is that they sing them in English. The
first English that many of them know
is the English of our national songs.

Sugar in Fruit.


1t is a well-known fact to many, and
unknown to many more, that an I'M
usually wet season is not favorable to
sugar development in either fruit or
vegetables. 1t is in such season that
we often hear complaints that straw
berries and other berries are not MS
sweet as they should be even when
seeming to beswell ripened. The same
thing has been noticed in melons and
proven by analysis In sugar bcets. The
larger growth caused by wet weather
or by copious irrigation may look
tempting, but it lacks the rich flavor
that is the result of growing on dryer
soil. Those who grow only for home
use should not select very wet soil if
they like rich and high-flavored fruit
or berries, and if a new variety is test
ed in wet season do not condemn its
quality without another trial under
other conditions.

We believe that every farmer as far
as possible in the grazing, grain and
forage producing districts should use
and breed dual purpose cattle. Where
milk and butter are the sole objects,
as with those who keep cows in the
towns and cities and on the cotton
farms, the dairy breeds are of course
preferable, but this class constitutes
only about one-tenth OF the people
who keep COWS. Farmers, as rule,
should not only breed dual purpose
cattle, but should use only such breeds
us will, while providing the requisite
amount of milk and butter, produce
also first-class beef animals. Farmers
should supply their local demand with
the best beef the country produces

Lonl P;a,ter in stab1es,


Even when COW stables are foored
with concrete or other floors equally
up to date more or less moisture will
accumulate on them, which requires an
absorbent of some kind. Naturally the
bedding will absorb more or less of the
moisture, which is not desirable, the
better plan being to clean the floors
thoroughly and then apply gypsum or
land plaster in quantities sufficient to
absorb the moisture. Then see that
the plaster is removed at night before
the fresh bedding is spread. III this
way the bedding is saved, the moisture
is absorbed and the plaster receives
the moisture which is necessary to it
that it may he valuable OH the soil. AS
to quantity this will depend upon the
number of cows III the herd; usually Il
ton of the land plaster will be suffi-
cient for winter in a stable where ten
