NO MERCY FOR vAoRANrs.
Magistrate Millsr Committing All
Arrested for Three Months.

Police Magistrate Millar is deter.
mined TO break UP the gang OF beggars
and panhandiers who have been infest-
ing this city for the past week, and
IN doing so he is exercising some OF
the powers conferred upon him by the
second class city laws.
During the past week he has sem
fenced no less than eight vagrants ana
beggars to three months in the county
Jail and will continue to impose this
penalty upon all such offenders who
are in the future arraiened before him
with the idea In mind of giving Scran :
ton a bad reputation III the eyes or
the grand army OF tramps.' The lat
est gentleman to receive the full limit
was Michael Hayes, who was arrested
on Lacknwanna avenue on Saturday
night while in the act OF accosting a
pedestrian for the price OF a drink. He
was given ninety days in police court
yesterday morning.
An illustration of the good effect the
creation of the office of police inagis-
trates will have in assisting to relieve
the local court from the trying of pet
ty criminal cases was afforded last
week. Fred Schneider. OF South Scran-
ton. was arrested by the police for
stealing basket of fish. the value of
which was about $3.50.
He was given hearing by Masis-
trate Millar and was sentenced to eth
or pay fine of $40 and pay the value
Of the fish to their owner or spend
silky days in the county Jail. He had
no money and was "sent up" Under
the old order of things when Scranton
was city of the third class, the only
disposition which the mayor or an al
lerman could make of the case would
be to hold the prisoner under bail for
court.

assistant district attorney and twelve
iurymen would be taken up for several
hours in listening to tho evidence In

The call for good grass butter is
urgent today, and consumers actually
long for the spring season when grass
made butter makes It's first appearance.
So delicate and attractive Is the color
and flavor of June butter that all like
the product and hold 1t above that
made at any other season. Packers
and merchants store this June butter
and hold 1t all through the winter
season, selling 1t gradually at an ad-
vance over all others. If IL was need
ed other evidence could be cited to
show that grass is the most natural
and best food that can be fed to the
dairy cows. Good June grass per-
forms work in the economy of nature
that no artificial methods have yet du-
plicated. Nevertheless, some dairy
men show such dense lack of apprecia-
tion of this that they fail to have
decent grass pasture on their farms.
Dairying without good pasture fields
is very much like playing Hamlet
without Hamlet. 1t is impossible for
the farmer to produce the desirable
view.
Grass and hay, then corn and other
succulent foods, should be the relative
order of foods which the dairyman
should keep constantly in mind. His
farming should be based upon prop
er conception of the value of these
foods, so that when he plants a crop
he knows exactly what he will get in
return for it. A good pasture farm is
small fortune to dairyman, but the
science of keeping up this pasture to
its full production is worth more to
him. And yet there is no great secret
In the question. 1t is merely the APP
plication of common sense, knowledge
and judgment in furnishing the grass
crops with the right to keep them
going. Robbing the soil and starving
the grass roots must always be follow
ed by poor grass and hay crops sooner
or later. Neglect the crop this season
and we will have to pay for it next.
Sometimes the payment comes sooner
than we expect, and again II is post
poned for some indefinite time When
an overdraft is made upon the soil 1t
Is always wise to make restitution as
soon as possible. Put on an extra sup
ply of fertilizers his year, and do not
neglect it until too late. We cannot
take from the soil more than there is
in it, but we can cultivate crops so
that the full food supply is developed
and expanded. A good deal of the
food supply Of any soil is wasted, as a
rule, through lack of cultivation and
proper method of utilizing IT, These
secrets should be known and then used
to their utmost.-A. B. Barrett, in
American Cultivator.

The pasture is important for poul-
try as well as for animals. During
spring and early summer, when the
fowls can secure an abundance of in
sect food, as well as a variety of green
substances, the production of eggs is
greater than at any other season of the
year, but when drought Injuries grass
there is less opportunity for the fowls
to secure large proportion of the re-
quired materials for egg production.
They should during the periods of
scarcity of grass be given mess at
night, which should not consist of
grain only. Meat, cut bone and cooked
potatoes thickened with bran will be
relished To every quart of bran used
may be added two ounces of linseed
meal, which will also be relished by all
kinds of poultry.

well Bred Live Stock.

Mrs. Minnie Eshleman Sherman, Of
California, a former society girl OF
Philadelphia, owns and manages a
farm of $500 acres, with Its varied
interests of dairying, stock farming
and fruit growing. In her palm-bor-
dered orchards and vineyards she
grows raisin grapes, pears, peaches,
apricots, nectarines, prunes, oranges,
almonds and olives. For her immense
herds Mrs. Sherman grows all Of her
own feed, the cows in summer being
pastured on alfalfa, and, as the sea-
son advances, on ensilage made from
the first crop Of alfalfa; then on corn
from the silo, and later on green rye.
In addition to the dairy, which sup
plies its immense creamery, Mrs. Sher-
man has a large number of thorough
bred horses and big herd of fine
Berkshire swine. Among the lessons
which Mrs. Sherman learned by sad
experience was the fact that the beau-
tiful Jersey cows which have found
nolTishment on sweet hill pastures In
a cool, moist sea air will not thrive on
fields of alfalfa in warm, dry valley.
These have been replaced by the

One reason why the duck brings in
money Is that the flesh is generally
liked for table use; in other words,
the market is sure.
The duck is a good eater and gets
his living more largely than other
fowls from insects in air and water
and from the fields. So his keep is
cheaper.
This characteristic implies another

One reason why the people engaged
in dairying are prosperous is because
dairying is a cash business, There is
no credit with tie old COW. You feed
her today, and tomorrow she pays you
back in cash. The dairyman does not
have to tell his hired man that he can
pay him when he sells his wheat, or
when he sells a bunch OF lambs. or
when the peaches are marketed. He
has the cash every week or every
month. The dairyman need not run
a bill at his grocery or anywhere else.
His business is a cash business. and
he can pay as he goes. This is one of
the basic principles of prosperity. Run
up no debts, pay as you go. 1t gets a
man into the habit of doing business
on business principles, and when he
does this he has started on the road to
prosperity.

Hungry Bears Destroy a Railroad.

A logger named Johnson, who has
logging camp somewhere near Deep
River, away down the Columbia, was
in town looking for engines and wire
cables to pull the logs cut out to the
tramway. He has been using horses
for this work, but says he will have
to use engines hereafter, as the bears
tear up his skid roads. The grease
used in the skids has attracted the
bears, which not only lick the skids
clean of grease, but dig them out and
ruin the road in search of the grease
which has been absorbed by the earth.
He says the bears pursue their mis-
chievous labors chiefly in the night.
and he cannot stay up nights to shoot
them.-Nornipg Oregonian.
