A law WHICH PERMITS
THE PACKING OF JURIES
The Governor Signs It But Recommends That
the Legislature Amend the
Measure.

Judge is to draw from a box containing
the names of such persons on separate
slips of paper, the names of fifty per-
sons which are to be deposited in an
other box TO be called the Grand Jury
Box. and the names of fifty persons
which are to be deposited in a third
box to be called the Trial Jury Box
From these two boxes the clerk is to
draw, at the direction and in the pres
ence Of the Judge. names of persons to
serve as members of the Grand Jury
and of the Trial Jury panel respec-
lively.
1t viii be seen from this program
that in the other circuits than the first,
the whole matter of selecting the lists
of persons to be called upon for jury
duty, the matter of drawing the jury
lists and finally the members OF the
grand and trial juries, may be largely
controlled by the Circuit Judge, should
he wish to do so. That is. he appoints
the clerk of his court, he selects the
Jury Commissioners. and he superin-
lenQS IHS drawing VI AAStS N-AN
of the members of the grand and trial
juries, with no one present but the
cIerk,-his. own appointee.
1t is against public policy for such an
to exist, as an unprin-
cipIed judge, should any of the outer
circuits ever be so unfortunate as to be
under the Jurisdiction of such an officer,
would have thereby an opportunity to
corrupt the administration of justice
to the serious prejudice of the public.
I recommend that the provisions re-
ferred to be amended SO that the jury |
shall be appointed by
of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, and that in all drawings of jury
lists and grand and trial juries, the
Sheriff of the County or other exec
utive officer shall be required to be
present.

some way of hooking the ladder to the

Rape as a Secondary Crop.

When rape is grown as secondary
or catch crop, 1T will not often be pos
sible to pay much attention to the prep
aration of the soil and the time and
method of seeding, and the quantity of
seed used may be varied to suit the
circumstances. Often fine rape may be
grown on land that has already pro-
duced crop of some of the early ma
turing cereals, such as rye. oats or
barley. As soon as the crop of grain is
removed the land is plowed or disked
and at once seeded to rape. Field peas
and other early maturing forage crops
or rye or winter oats that have been
pastured off in spring may also be fol-
lowed by rape with profitable results.
Each year finds the area in which rape
is grown extended until now it in
cludes much Of the spring wheat re-
gion of the northwest, where 1t Is
grown chiefly as a catch crop after

THE ORIGINAL HORSE.
Five Toed, Monkey Toothed and
About the Size of a House Cat.

Five Toed, Monkey Toothed RnA
About the Size of a House Cat.
In paper prepared by w. D. Mat
thews, associate curator of paleontol-
ogy in the American Museum Of Nat
ural History at New York, an interest
ing account Is given of the origin of
the horse. Mr.. Matthews says that the
earliest known ancestors of the horse
were small animals not larger than
the domestic cat, with four complete
toes on each forefoot and three on
each hind foot. There is reason to be-
! lieve that the still more ancient an
cestors of this and all other mammals
had five toes ON each foot. The teeth
were short crowned and covered with
low, rounded knobs of enamel, suggest
ing those of monkeys and of pigs or
other omnivorous animals.
The horse is distinguished from all
other animals now living by the fact
that it has but one toe on each foot.
Comparison with other animals shows
that this toe is the third or middle
digit on the foot. The hoof CORE
spends to the nail of man or the claw
of dog or cat and is broadened out to
afford a strong support on which the
whole weight of the animal rests.
"In the series of ancestors of the
horse" writes Mr.. Matthews, I'VE can
trace every step in the evolution Of
those marked peculiarities of teeth and
feet which distinguish the modern
horse from an ancestor which SO little
suggests a horse that when it's remains
were first found forty years ago the
animal was named by the great pale
ontologist Richard Owen the hyraco-
therium, or 'coneylike beast
picture shows a restoration of the
oldest known ancestor of the modern
horse. 1t was only sixteen inches high
and had four toes on each foot. The
skeleton is mounted in the American
museum. All the remains of native
horses that have been found in Amer
lea have been petritied, showing that
they had been buried for many thou
sands of years. Mr.. Matthews states
that all these horses became extinct
both in North and South America. Why
we do not know. The competition with
the bison and the antelope, which had
recently migrated to America, may
have made it more difficult than for
merly for the American horse to get
livi>g."
Tie wild horse at present Is found
only on the desert plains Of central
Asia and Africa. There are no true
wild horses in America or Australia.
Mr. Matthews points out. because the
mustangs and bronchos are domesti-
Gated animals run wild and are de-
scc:iGcd from the horses brought over
from Europe by the early white set
tiers
The great increase in the size Of the
horse, Mr.. Matthews argues, went
hand in hand with the evolution OF
the plains themselves. At the COM
mencement of the age of mammals
the western part Of the North Ameri-
can continent was by no means as
high above sea level as now. The eli
mate at that time was probably very
moist. warm and tropical, there was
dense forest growth, and to these con-
ditions the animals of the beginning of
the mammalian period must have been
adapted.
During the tertiary the continent
was steadily rising above the ocean

level, and at the same time other in
huences were at work to make the eli
mate continually colder and drier. The
coming on of a cold, dry climate re-
stricted and thinned the forests and
caused the appearance and extension
Of open, grassy plains.
The ancient forest inhabitants were
forced either to retreat and disappear
with the forests or to adapt themselves
to the new conditions of life. The an
cestors of the horse, following the lat
ter course, changed with the changing
conditions.
At the end of the age of mammals the
continents stood at higher elevation
than at present, and there was broad
land connection between Asia and
North America, as we'll as those now
existing. At this time the horse be-
came cosmopolitan and Inhabited the

BUNCHiNG ASPARAGUS.
The Green aud the White Kinds.
How to Cut-Rubber Bands.


How to Cut-Rubber Bands.
Some markets require the green as
paragus, while in others the white is in
good demand. 1t is usually good plan
to have both kinds, advises an Indiana
grower in Rural New Yorker.
By throwing a ridge Of earth over
each row the asparagus will become
well bleached before it reaches the top
Of the ground. The other rows will
furnish the green asparagus. In cut
ting use an inch chisel, and the shoots
are cut off just under the ground to
secure the green asparagus. In the
part of the field that Is ridged up the
shoots are cut off, Just as they appear
above the soil, as deep In the ground
as necessary to secure the proper
length. AS the stalks are cut they are
placed in basket with the tops ali one
way. When the basket is full, II Is
carried to a hydrant and the asparagus
placed in a long row on q table and well
washed. By keeping the stalks straight
this work is greatly lessened, as the
dirt can be washed from the stalks
easier, quicker and with less water.
Forming the Bunches.
Any one who has ever punched as
paragus has observed that but few
stalks are perfectly straight In bunch
ing, the stalks should be turned so each
head turns toward the center Of the
bunch. This will take time, but it will
pay, as q much heater bunch will be
secured, and it will sell more readily.
After the center is formed each sue
ceeding row is slightly lowered so that
the bunch when finished will be cone
shaped and about what an ordinary
hand can reach around. A rubber
band is now slipped over the bunch
while still in the left hand, and the
work is done. The rubber bands are
better than strings, as they hold the
punches neater and save much labor
in using them, and labor is money in
the market garden business. All
punches are made as near alike as pos
sible. After being put up each bunch
is cut off about six inches long and
placed in shallow pan containing wa
ter. Here it remains until the next
morning, when it is placed in boxes
containing wet moss, the boxes covered
with wet sacks. The boxes are placed
in the wagon and taken to market,
where they sell for from 40 to 50 cents
per dozen lunches.

Why Ben Davis Still F1ourishes.

While people are condemning the

always remember what David Broth
ers said of it: ut is red and no apple,
although it may combine all the good
qualities Of a dozen of the best varie-

give much larger money return than
any other variety. True, it sells for
only about half what that queen OF

we have the Ben Davis to sell nearly
every year, while the others are uncer-
tain quantities. So long as the public
demands it and ignores quality why
should the fruit grower try to culti-
