POoIrOom Commissioners.
From the New York Press.

1t is said that from 1900 to 5000 men
earn a good living in New York by
placing bets on races for persons of
speculative bent who do not care to
run the risk of capture in pool room
roundup and who do not have time
TO patronize the course. They charge
a comfortable commission on what
they cash in. Suppose each commits
soon cashes in 5000 day, and that in
some cases is putting it low, you can
easily compute the enormous graft that
flows into certain Golfers. This ex-
plains why so many of the field and
dead line bookmakers, as well as hand
books and pool rooms about town, are
so often driven out of business by
heavy losses.

Good NuDiciDaI Government.

Information from various cities OIL
the country of drastic measures being
employed to purify municipal govern
ment is likely to create an impression
that we are fastening to n of the
most advanced stages of corruption
The truth lies in the opposite direction
The people are aroused, and the dlspo-
sition to have crooked things made
straight is approaching a contagion
Within a brief time there have been
more and stronger moves in this direc'
ton than during any like period in ouY
history. There is manifest a determl.
nation to have honesty aid economy in
the administration of municipal affairs,
which, if it be sustained, must beaI
good fruit. 1t is not probable that a
uniformity of municipal laws and reg
ulations throughout the country will
be established within the life of any
of those interested, for there are forty
five different states to handle, each diff
fering from the others in physical, in.
dustrial, social and political character
istics. But there is the more immedi-
ate possibility Of compelling a higher
degree of efficiency, integrity and good
faith on the part of municipal servants,

how CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

A recent seizure of a lot Of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities or
q n%eighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands OF
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
we're taken and analysed. The official
report of the analysis showed the stuff
to be 'alum powders" composed chiefly
Of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dan
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap" baking powders.
They are all found, when analysed, to
contain large percentages of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts of filling matter sometimes
both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders, are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful.

K FIRM BACON.
System of Feeding by Which Pigs
May BE Put on the Market
mt Six Months Old.

In Denmark they look upon barley
as the best food for good bacon. EX-
ercise is conducive to firm bacon, and
if plenty of buttermilk is used | do
not think there is any danger of soft
bacon After a pig reaches rs or 100
pounds almost anything can be given
it in the way of feed. Some of our
packers have been advocating keep
ing the hogs until they are eight or
ten months old as a help to produce
the firm bacon, but if fed right a hog
may be put on the market at six
months old. l think in many in
stances the value Of roots has been
overestimated, but they certainly help
to keep the hogs in good condition
and prevent them from becoming too
fat when young. Without roots, our
difficulty has been to get them to
grow rapidly without getting fat. Fed
on something bulky they will grow
and at the same time not become
very fat. 1t is a little difficult to ex
plain the reason. The question OF
wheat feeding has never been taken
up by our institution. In feeding it,
l should mix something bulky with
it, or it might be gummy and indi-
gestible. l would much prefer feed
ing some roots with 1t. For young
pigs we found oats better than most
feeds. We grind them as finely as we
can mix with middlings.-Prof. G. E.
Day, in Farmers Review.

summary Punishment In Mexico.

An instance of the manner in which
Justice is summarily dispatched in
Mexico has been afforded at Naco, a
support of entry south of Bisbee, Ariz.,
where the Bisbee railway crosses the
international Ene on it's way to the
mines of Nacosari. Two of the Mex
lean "rurales," or frontier guards,
quarreled over a card game. One of
the men, Ruiz, shot and killed his COM
panion, who appeared to have been
somewhat less agile ION the draw"
That night, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, the commandment of the local
detachment of rurales sentenced Ruiz
TO death. The next morning at day
break Ruiz was marched out into the
suburbs of the camp, guarded closely
by a detachment of his former com
rades in arms. Given a spade, he was
compelled to dig his own grave. Then
at command he stood at attention"
upon its edge and received in his breast
the bullets of a file of men, the riddled
corpse falling backward into the shall
low trench.

Trees Felled by Electricity

The day is perhaps not far distant
when the electric wire will take the
place of the woodman's ak and the
crosscut saw in all extensive operations
involving the telling of trees for lUm-
Der. 1t has lately been demonstrated
that a tree may be brought to earth
quickly and effectually by means of an
electric current coursing along a fine
platinum wire which is placed in con-
tact with the tree trunk. The platinum
wire becomes white hot from the ac-
ton of the current and in turn literally
burns it's way through the tree. The
operation only takes about one-tenth
of the time required to saw the tree
down, and the labor involved is almost
nothing. The above described method
has been tried with success in France,
and it's introduction into other coun-
tries is looked for at an early date

Advice Of the Right Sort.

A reader, a young man, writes for
suggestions as to how best to carry on
a small farm and says that he has al
ways lived in a city and knows nothing
practical about farming. AS he says
he intends to take up agriculture for a
permanent business and as it may be
safely presumed that he wishes to buy
his experience as cheaply as possible,
we would suggest that he first go and
work for a year for some thorough and
successful farmer in the community
where he expects to go to farming. A
year or so spent coupled with the read
ing of books and papers treating on
agriculture, would enable him to take
up his work for himself in an intelli-
gent and successful manner.-Midland

A MEADOW.
First Requisite Is Thorough PreDaR-
alton of the Land and Syste-
matte Cultivation.

When a new meadow is to be made
it is advisable to see that the land has
most thorough preparation. A meadow
that is permitted to become such with
out proper preparing is likely to have
characteristics that will remain with it
as long as it is a meadow. We have
seen such meadows and have worked
in them, and can testify that they are
hard to NOW, hard to rake and hard to
travel over. Doubtless the plants find
it hard sometimes to make a growth
on hard, lumpy, sunburned land that
might have been made otherwise by
a little extra work with the harrow
and drag.
If during the year preceding the
abandonment of grass the land has
borne a corn crop, its Irregularities are
very likely to be intensified. The old
stalks are seen in the field of grow
ing grass and are only too plainly appar-
ent. If such land be rolling and in a
humid country, the chances of its gull
lying are increased. Sometimes these
gullies develop into considerable water
courses during the few days of heavy
rainfall.
1t pays to put a good deal of work
on the land that is to be made into a
meadow before seeding. If the disk
harrow is used on the farm it can be
made to do good service here. This
smoothing harrow and the roller will
carry the work on still further, and in
some cases, as of hard ridges, the drag
will help to equalize matters. A
smooth surface is desired, and ii
should be obtained at any cost. Roll
ing the land will give it a surface that
will not easily gully, at least not so
easily as when the water gets a start
between the ridges of corn of the
previous year.
When the grass gets started is the
time to see that there are no barrier
spots. When found they should re-
ceive attention and seed at once, be il
fall or spring. Grass starts on suct
spots from seed sown in the COO
weather of the fall or spring, but will
not start in the hot weather, as the
soil Immediately on the surface is KEEP
dried out too much to permit of the
seeds getting enough moisture for the
terminating process. 1t must be re.
membered that moisture is one of the
requisite conditions that make GERM.
nation possible. If these spots are al.
lowed to remain vacant through the
fall and spring they will harden in thu
sur of July and August and become
still harder to reseed.-Farmers' Re

Each gable neal the peak has a four
