Bjorklund was arrested just as he left

he was given his clothes and dis

suspected of being in sympathy with

and was a great surprise to his many
friends. On the evening prior to his
death, he attended dinner and seemed
in excellent spirits. Mr. Broms was
born in 1849 and after receiving an
excellent education he began to devote
himself to business. AS early as 1880
he had made himself an Independent
fortune in the numbering business and
in 1890 he became interested in the
mining business. 1t was he who re
organized the Gellivare Mining com

The Problem of Digging Spuds.
BY {. E. Chapman.

by Z. Z. chapman.
One of the heaviest and by all farmhands
considered the most dreaded tasks that
comes in the fall is digging potatoes. The
getting them out of the ground is not only
hard work but the slowness of it grinds on
the spirit. The aching muscles make the
nerves tender and there are more rows with
the help at this time than at any other. The
size of the labor bill grows faster than the
spud heap, and an examination of the tubers
shows many damaged and worthless from

Growing Hairy Vetch for Seed.

The following information relating TO the
growing of hairy vetch for seed is furnished
bv the Bureau of Plant Industry of the y.
S. Department of Agriculture, through its
Seed Laboratory, in response to numerous
inquiries on the subject
The cultivation of hairy vetch has in
creased rapidly in the last few years and
would be much more common if the seed
was raised in this country, and especially
on the farms where it is to be sown.
Practically all of the seed now used in the
United States is imported from Europe

the holes, cuts and bruises made in digging
Naturally one turns to machines, but in or
der to do good work they must go beneath
the hill so as not to cut the potatoes, must
separate them from the vines dirt and
stones and must work in soils wet or dry
level or hilly clean or weedy, hard or SOFT
stony or sandy, loan or muck.
They must elevate or they will clog, and
in elevating they have such a load that
heavy draught and very fast motion are
required to get the machine along and keep
it unloaded The ordinary plows with rods
behind have no principle to them, no accu-
rate way of separating, and may or may not
dig half the specially not if the
vines are heavy. The big machines such as
are used in the Greeley district, will dig
fairly we'll, and I have dug at the rate of
two thousand bushels day on level field
planted in hills with soil dry and fine. But
the trouble is they are too large and require
too much help for the small farmer-four
horses to draw, two more to draw tukers to
the storage place, driver for the machine
six men to pick up and two for the sorter
and sacker It is good deal like threshlng
time and plenty of extra work for the wom-
en- in the house. A breakdown, causing
de1ay of two or three hours, costs money
for the time lost by the help waiting for
repairs.
Under favorable circumstances we have
dug with machine at a cost of four cents
a sack, but usually it costs eight to twelve
We can hire them dug by hand for the
same money, and all that is gained with the
machine is ease in digging, time for other
things and no damage to the tubers. The
spuds are not marked or stabbed and the
ground is cleared rapidly so as to be sown
to wheat For some it is easier to sit and
drive than to dig by hand, but found it
required steady hand and considerable
patience to drive four horses and keep all
parts of the machine right The machines
are adapted and profitable only for large
operators. I had to study out some way
to do it better and cheaper and, after many
trials now use pillow. A fork, if not too
Underlined, will work very we'll in Our
lighter soils, but [ cannot stand it to use
one all day, and I believe that everything
done to make the work easier is just as much
a gain as is time saved.

During the hSCal year end1nS june go l0O3
over 10000 pounds of this seed was brought
in.
Experiments have been carried on by the
Seed Laboratory of the Bureau for two
years. From the results of these trials it is
evident that the seed can be produced at
profit over a wide area in the United States.
Great difficulty has been experienced in
harvesting the seed when grown alone. 1t
rpens very unevenly and if left until most
of the seed is mature it becomes matted on
the ground and shells and moulds badly. 1t
was found that by sowing with rye suf-
fcient support was furnished to keep 1t OFT
the ground and allow it to be cut easily with
a moving machine: Rye seems best adapted
as supporting crop on account OF the time
of ripening and the stiff straw.
The best results were obtained with seed
ing from one-half to three fourths bushels
of vetch and one-half bushel of rye to the
acre, sowing from the middle to the last of
September.
The crop should be cut about the time the
last pods are formed and the vines are get
ting dry. The cutting is done with an ordi-
nary moving machine, after which the vines
and straw should be put in piles and allow
ed to dry. The threshing can be done with
an ordinary grain threshing machine.
s
els of vetch and 81 bushels of rye. In Mary
land the storms knocked the rye down SO it
did not fill WE'LL but the four acres yielded
IS bushels of vetch and 8 bushels OF rye
Reports from Mississippi show yield OF
from 5 to 7 bushels per acre in that state.
In many instances hairy vetch has been
sown and proved failure under ordinary
cultivation. AS it is adapted to consider
able variety of soils and a wide area it is
certain that the failure in most instances is
due to the absence of the organism which
produces the root tubercles and has the
property of fixing free nitrogen in the air,
making it available for plant food. In SOW
ing the areas referred to above the greater
part was inoculated with the nitrifying or
ganism, but strip was left in each case on
which none of the inoculating material was
used. A vigorous growth Of hairy vetch
was obtained on the inoculated plots, while
on the uninoculated plots in both cases the
growth was very scanty and the ground al
most bare. This shows the ability of the
vetch to make very satisfactory growth
by means of the incubation on ground where
it proves an entire failure under ordinary
cultivation.
Unless hairy vetch has already been
grown successfully on piece of ground it
should be inoculated to insure success. In
oculatng material will be furnished by, and
all inquiries concerning it should be adj
dressed to, Bureau of Plant Industry, u. S.
Department of Agriculture, Washington, d.

Is there as much as $1,000, 100000 in cash

farmers and planters of this country will
want for the products of 1903. If they had

or were not such good customers to the rest
of the country, farmers and planters could

oAPIrAL PuNTsHMENr.

The suggestion of Senator Allen that
Kansas return to the old system of exc
cutting criminals who are convicted of
capital offenses looks like a backward
step. Slowly but nevertheless surely the
plan Of taking the life of human be-
ing by due process of law is becoming
obsolete and it win not be many genera
tions hence that it viii be known only
in history
Statistics prove conc1usively that cap
ital punishment does not prevent nor
lessen crime. Taking the life of a man
or woman by public sanction is brutal
izing. The community gains nothing by
it and the tide of human advancement
slips back a notch.
Nrhe execution of a murderer does not
bring back to life the victim nor does
it improve the lot of those nearest and
dearest to him. The only excuse for it
is what its advocates term the exam
pie" and certainly the example of TAX
ing human life for any cause can not
improve the character of the lawabfding
citizens nor prevent the criminally in
clined from initiating the example held
up before them by the legalized execu-
ton.
Kansas needs no capital punishment

IS MOST UNsFEMLY.

The quarrel in the legislature about
how the reports of the state board of
agriculture are to be sent out is most
unseemly.
It has been the custom to allow the
secretary of the board to send them to
the people he deemed worthy and never
before has any effort been made to take
away this prerogative.
No doubt Mr. coburn would not OBJ
jeet to being relieved of this responsible
ity. but the only question to be consid-
cred is how the reports may be made
most effective and DO the most good.
The Coburn reports have been lifted out
of the rut in which similar publications
repose and it is entirely due to his eff
forts that this is true. He knows where
they can be sent to secure results
and why the legislature should hesitate
to put its o. <. upon the system fol ?
