end each Judge viii be doing right. I am in
favor q having d Law that will permit the
authorities Of q prison to change prisoners
from one institution 20 another: that will
pcrmh them TO release and reapprehend
criminals. Past experience has shown that
fear Of punishment will not deter men from
committing crime. and after a man has
served a certain time " he shows a spirit
Of reforn he should be released, subject
to the cali Of the authorities"
Redemption Of Criminals.
The Redemption Of the Criminal vas
discussed by Rev. z. A. Fredenhage1, SUI

Friendlecs. Among other things Rev. Ere
denhsgen said:
Crime il a condition before u is an act.
This condition Is 81 cial more than in
oIvidusl. environments more Than heredi-
tary. u arises through the failure of the
fundamental institutions uhe home, school,
above the crime line. Good environment
largely overcomes heredity and In time
eradicates IT,
We need a law providing for the pro1a-
ton Of juvenile offenders so hat no child
or youth shall be confined in any jail or
lookup excepting as q last resort or Tor
serious crime. In addition to this there
should be enacted a statute establishing
juvenile courts wherever necessary. We
also need a law compelling changes in all
county and city jalle so that Juvenile Of
Tenders shall be separated from older and
more hardened criminals and women from
men. A law superseding the vicious and
c~orrupting fee system, with salaries for all
7 officials connected with enforcement OF
criminal law, would be a long step forward

the Agricultural Experiment station.
Z In October. 1896, the experiment station
: purchased ten grade Jersey heifers. all t.
? come fresh in the late fall or early winter
! This small herd was to be used for .nvesti.
cations along the line OF dairy husbandry
: and therefore all records were kept as Il

: During the 1--WE years that the herd was OF

lion as follows. In 1897, 340.9S pounds o
= butter per COW; in 1895. 36S.S9 pounds; II
5 1899. 247.0S pounds: in 1900. 27e.35 pounds
In 1901, 1874 pounds. During the nv
years hfty-two yearly records showed al
Z average OF 315.S2 pounds of butter. TIT

o Alfalfa Hay the Best.
: Alfalfa and wild hay were tested for tksi
value in rations for dairy cows. The her,
was divided into two lots so that hey wer

p lots were reversed. Compal isons we're mad

! better returns than wild hay and at tn

Corn ensilage and sugar beets were teste,
as to their value as succulent feed whel

into two lots. the same as in the experiment
for testing alfalfa and wild hay. The re
