A pitiable Case.

Prosecuting Attorney IIe,t wen,
to Upton township .dooday to hold
the preliminary examination in the
case Of tie State Of Missouri against
Eliza Richards, who is charged with
concealing The birth OF and murder
ing her babe,
From the facts developed il ap-
pears that the girl, who is only r6
years Of age, gave birth TO the child,
aod hoping 10 shield herself and
friends from disgrace red 10 conceal
its blylh, she therefore choked it to
death, and afterwards, fearing the
unfortunate child might not be dead
crammed its mouth full Of straw.
From the facts disclosed at the
preliminary this is another case Of
loved not wisely bur too weli." This
poor unfortunate girl, in our opinion,
IS to be pitied, and should have the
sympathies, rather than the condem-
nation, Of the people. And the mis-
erabie wretch in hnman form who Is
respon 'lble for this poor girls down
tall should be crusht and summarily
punished with tho extreme penalty Of
the law. There are too many such
incidents happening in our midst,
and It IS no wonder that an outraged
father takes the law into his own
hands and commits crime himself.
And if 4 man is cxcusable under
any circumstances Tor violating the
laws OF his country it would be in a
case like the one mentioned.
The irIendless and Unfortunate
girl was bound over to circuit court
in the sum Of $1,000, in default Of
which she was brought to town Tues
day and turned over TO Sheriff. Far
ris and a, present is in his custody,
though not yet committcd to jail,

Quality in Fruit.

For some years we have been vigorous
defender of fine quality in fruit. rms
is for the reason that during lifetime
of observation, no new variety OF fruit
of any kind has withstoOd the test OF
time and borne continuous demand on
the market unless it possessed hign
quality. In the time We have watched
the market new varieties of apples and
pears of fine appearance have been
brought into notice and for time, or
while but few have been riaSed, have
been taken by the market at satisfac-
tory price. With nothing but large
size and good looks to their credit they
soon dropped out of favor.
The Kieffer pear is an illustration.
Thetree isa vigorous grower and great
bearer. The fruit is of inferior quality
and only fitted for canning purposes.
With but few raised the fruit was In
quick demand and was immensely profit
able. Thousands of acres in the middle
states were planted to the Kieffer pear
with the result that the selling demand
is so light that all profit from its produc-
tion has disappeared. At the same
time the old Bartlett with its delicious
fiavors was never more popular or In
better demand than at the present time.
The Ben Davis apple has been good
seller on the market. Trees of this
variety have been planted late years
throughout the country in quantities un-
numbered. AS in every case preceding
it with apples of inferior quality, since
the vast planting of this variety is COM
ing into bearing, the popular price is
dropping off. Last year its lead began
to wane. The present year its decline is
still more marked. In the interior mar
kets with the old Rhode Island Green
| ing in demand at S6a barrel the Ben
Davis finds a place only at half that
price. When the wide planting of this
apple shall have come into bearing who
can say what its selling value will be!

Cost of SiIage.

The high price of farm lands and the
present crop of soft corn on top of a
crop last year, little of which was mar
ketable as grain, is creating great in
terest in the silo. l want to say in my
feeble way that the feeding value of
silage and dry fodder are not alike.
What is left-after fodder is cured and
weathered-may feed all right, but
there is loss of over twenty per cent
by the drying, that must be deducted
from thedry fodder before what is left
and the silage sis anywhere near equal. "
This summer we have had little new
experience with the corn crop. We had
four acres of field corn, in addition to
the silage. The silage was cut with a
corn harvester, and all help in filling
silo and corn cutting was hired, and the
cost per acre, put in the silOs, was ex-
actly s.. IS, not including the dinners of
the men. This cut, husked the corn,
went to mill, and put the crop at the
north end of the manger at one job. 1t
cost 81 per acre to cut the field corn; it
cost s.. so (seventy bushels, four cents
per busheD per acre to husk it, and l
have the stalks to draw, and have the
satisfaction of seeing fully third of it
rejected in the manger, whether cut or
not.
The corn must yet take to the mill,
and expend another 1925 per acre to
get the ears ground, making S6 expense
to Get this acre of corn before the COWS,
as against S3.3S per acre for the silage;
and then up jumps Professor Voorhees, OF
New Jersey, and tells me, after years OF
trials, silage will make COW give II per
cent more milk and cream than dry fod-
der with the ground corn put back upon
it. The rent of these lots were the same,
SO that they need not enter into this cal
culation, only this silage yielded more
than double the fodder secured upon the
field corn lot, and yet cost S2.6I less per
acre to harvest.
Apropos of a kindred subject mention
ed, about "things costing too much to
be practical" l want to say that my
silos have been in yearly use for several
wears more, and with total cost for re-
pairs. this year, of 81 and half days
work. The original cost of the two was
$50. The annual interest on that is
81. so, and when one counts the saving OF
the entire corn crop, the husking and
the grinding and the II per cent claimed
by Professor VOrhees, We ask in all
practical" sense how one, with year
ly outlay of "a. so interest, can get larger
dividend? In proportion, the steel trust
is not in it for a moment.-Hoard S
