Farminr for Profit.

In farming for profit in This country
it behoo9 IS one to listen to the teach
ings of experience gained by farmers
in Great Britain. Robert H. Rev
chief of the statistical branch Of tie
British Board of Agriculture. has
brought out the fact that during the
last thirty years there has been al
most a steady decrease in the area
devoted To grain culture. and rela-
tixely steady increase in the acreage
devoted to pasturage and meadow
lands. The number Of COWS and heif-
erS IN milk or in calf indicates that
the dairy industry has held its own IN
the face Of foreign competition much
better than has the growing Of grain.

Pumpkins are most excellent food
for mich COWS, but owing to their
bulky nature and their tendency to
freeze and decay, they are chiefly val
liable as a late fall food, when they
answer a splendid purpose, to be fed
for couple of weeks while the cows
are changing from grass to dried or
preserved fodder. In some instances,
when fed in very large qufntities, the
seed has a very stimulating effect on
the urinary system, which may be pre-
vented by removing the seed part.

MIMIC WAR STARTS
ALL OVER AGAIN.
General Wheeler Mt Camp Young,
Guest of GEN. Bates.

Va OChs
Camp Young, West Point, KY, Oct.
12.-To-day's maneuvers We're partici-
pated in solely by regulars, and was an
interesting one, the problem being de-
vised to fit peculiar local condition.
The plans of Col. Wagner, chief UNI
pire, called for the passage of long
and tortuous defile by a force acting
as the advance guard of the invading
brown army, the attempt to be resist
ed by the rear guard of the retreating
blue army.
The main bodies which these forces
represented, were ina ginary. The blue
rear guard was acting under orders to
impede and harass the brown advance
as much as possible without bringing
on a serious engagement, and being cut
off from the main command.
The blue rear guard, consisting of a
regiment of infantry, squadron of
cavalry and four field pieces, during
the course of the engagement succeed
ed in delaying the advance of the brown
force to such an extent that 1t was
two hours before the last of the brown
advance could get clear of the defile.
This would hardly have been a suff1-
cient impeachment in actual warfare.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler arrived at Camp
Young to-day to be the guest OF Gen.
Bates until the latter leaves for Fort
Riley, which probably will be on We'd
nesday. Maj. Buck commanded the
blue forces into-day's action and Maj.

TO CHANGING SYSTEM
MANY EVILS ARE DUE
Such the Contention of W. P. Thrilled at
Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-Dr. w. P. Thir-
kield. corresponding secretary Of the
Methodist Freedman's Aid and South
ern Educational Society, in delivering
the opening address of the Evangelical
Alliance to-day, charged that the out
RACES Of negroes in the South was due
to the changing prison system. He
said in part:
Far be it from me to utter one word
in extenuation of the unspeakable crime
of which some black men are guilty.
Let us keep in mind, however. that
only about Cooper cent. of the black
men who are lynched have ever been
charged with the .unspeakable crime
against the sacredness of womanhood.
Let the black man bring every in
fuence to bear to make such crimes
impossible. Let there be prompt exc
cution of the law against this and all
crimes of all men. Lynch law, however,
is anarchy. 1t brings in the reign of
barbarism. 1t brutalizes members OF
the mobs; it undermines government;
1t does not stop crime.
In estimating criminality among the
black people we should keep in mind
that since Appomattox nearly every
Southern state has maintained schools
OF crime-an organized institution for
the training of criminals. This / charge

South. This system with its thousands

people, through its brutalizing and de-
humanizing influence on thousands Of
negroes.
Under this system both prison and
prisoners are farmed out under the con-
troll of private corpora tions-sold to the
highest bidder.
ITO the lessee the body and soul OF
convicts are assigned. The motive Of
both state and lessee is not morals but
money. 1t Is turning crime into a
source of revenue; the Drawn and blood
of criminals bartered for gain. The
outcome Of the careful investigation OF
the convict lease system by the present
Governor of Georgia was a revelation
of humanity, barbarity and shame
less immortality.
I'm a. period of two years over 100
of these convicts escaped from South
ern prisons. Think of LOO thieves,

about in defiance OF all law and order
Think of a system that has no reform
atory element; no system to cure ms n
of crime, but educates young crimi ais
in crime and that by it's barbarlty
brutalizes and dehumanizes men ahd
sends out those that do not die under
the horrors of the system to debauch
and degrade society.
The South should reform its present
system and thus stop the education of
criminals. The present system Is a
sowing Of the wind and 1t is bound to
reap the whirlwind."
Mr.. Thirkield made a strong plea for
the philanthropic and Christian people,
both of the South and North, to join
hands in educational and missionary
efforts for the solution of this grave
problem.

GREEN HEARING
WAS POSTPONED.

Binghamton, N. Y, Oct. 12.-The ex-
animation of State Senator George E.
Green, indicted for alleged completely
in the postal frauds, which had been
set for to-day before United States
Commissioner Hall, has been postponed
until Nov. 8.
Commissioner Hall stated that in or
der to have his position more thor
oughly understood he would file a MEM
orandum. The memorandum stated
that it would be necessary to show
prima facie evidence that the crimes
charged in the indictment were COM
mitted in the District of Columbia. He
holds that the indictment is hearsay
evidence and of little value to prove
that the crime was committed.
The defendant, he says, has the right
to ask for witnesses which he can ex-
anime, and also to produce witnesses
in his own behalf.
