Root Crops for Pigs.

It has been demonstrated that seven
or eight pounds Of mangels have as
great feeding value as one pound OF
grain, when given to pigs or hogs, and
that sugar beets have even greater
value, SO it is hard to understand why
Dig raisers are SO careless about grow
ing root crops for uueir animals. Not
only have the root crops a high feed
ing value, but they do more for the
good health of the hogs than one can
estimate. In regard to their feeding
value it has been demonstrated time
and again that when mangel or sugar
beets, or 10th, a-e fed In connection
with light rations of grains. using mid
dIinas instead of bran, pork of high
quality can be produced cheaper than
in any other way. with the possible ex-
ception of the substitution Of ensilage
for the root crops. If root crops can
be bought at reasonable prices. better

Late Calves.
Owing to the increasing demands of
the great centers of population, farm
ers have to enter into contracts to sup
ply quantities of milk all the year
round, and in consequence are COM
PEELED to have fresh calving cows COM
ing into profit not at one period mere

with is the end Of the autumn and just
before winter. Farmers who hold such
contracts find it pays to time one-third
or more of their cows to calve at that
period. Those who do not go in for a
pedigree herd will prefer to get rid
Of the autumn calves as soon as pos
sible. If reared on milk substitutes
will have to be employed, as the entire
milk of the COW would have to be sent
away daily, but milk substitutes have
now been brought to high degree Of
perfection. These will be thickened
with meals as the animals get little
older. They will soon take to root
pulp. Calves thus reared would be in
prime condition after March, to thrive

 ton of New Haven.

The executive committee of the Con, necticut Humane society decided yes- terday to recommend that a silver medal of the society be awarded to Miss Leila Darlington of New Haven. daughter of John B. Darlington, pro- prietor of the New Haven Journal and Courier. Miss Darlington, last July. at the risk of her own life, swam out in a high sea at Madison and rescued a young woman who was drowning. It took the doctors two hours to re. suscitate the rescued woman after Miss Darlington had succeeded in get t1ng her, ashore. Miss Darlington is only 16 years old.
 Her bravery earned the admiration of the spectators and the attention Of Governor Chamberlain was called to the affair. He sent to the society a letter reciting the details of the inci' dent and the committee at the first practicable meeting afterwards de- cided that it was case where a medal had been we'll earned. It is a rule In the awards that the person receiving the medals shall risk life in saving the lives of others-

 League Last Evening.

The entertainment hall at the Friendly league was well filled last. evening by the members and friends of the league who gathered to ex- change greetings after the summer. The hall was prettily decorated with autumn leaves and a general atmos- phere of welcome was felt throughout the building. The president, Miss Ward, greeted all present and made a few announcements.

thing was rushed through with such dispatch they hadn't time to give the matter the consideration it required.
 One of the aldermen said the night the award of benefits and damages for the widening of West Main street was approved that at least two of the par ties were not getting enough, but when heads were called for he stood up with his colleagues and was counted in fa- vor of not giving them any more, or in other words, protested against giving them what but moment before he had said they were entitled to. This had to be done to make good the con- tract entered into with the trolley com pany and at the same time lead the public to believe that justice had been done to all parties concerned. How much longer is this highlhanded way of doing business going to continue? Have private citizens no rights which city officials are bound to respect? It would seem so. The spectacle of al- dermen acknowledging that they have not been doing the right thing by their neighbors and telling them to resort to the courts for protection is something nobody cares to see repeated in the a1. dermanic chamber. The trolley com panysis entitled to fair treatment, but to go beyond this and do nice things at the expense of struggling rate pay CTS is not very good way to encour- age people to buy land and put houses on It. The man with the house and lot appears to be a target for every body and it is about time he raised his head and inquired if folks think there is any limit to his ability to pay tax bills or if he has no calls upon him outside the annual demand from the collector. There is no great need of being too anxious about furnishing ia cilities for the people of Waterbury to spend their money. Nobody will be hampered for enjoyment or the neces- saries of life in other ways if he has the means to secure them Let nothing be done which would discourage com
 mon laborer from aiming to become the owner of house for himself and his family. The working people, the manufacturers and the merchants are the mainstays of this and every other community and anything that puts either at a disadvantage, even though 1t helps the others, cannot fail to pro- duce bad results.

The Color Of Hair

From the color of a mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says a professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject. School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
to be more clever than any others, and
will generally be found, at the head OF
the class, and in like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and recitations these
boys and girls, he asserts, especially ex-
eel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely to attain distinction through
their individuality and style, and that
those with red or auburn hair do not
often excel in any respect.

Whitecappinq Charge.

That judges of circuit courts in
Middle Tennessee are becoming
aroused over actions of mobs and
whitecappers is shown by the charges
they are now giving TO the grand ju-
ries in their courts. At Pulaski last
week Judge Sam Holding charged
The grand jury to give special atten-
ton to the recent whipping of John
frazier by whitecappers. Judge
Holding told the jury that if they
failed to indict the parties engaged
in this affair on reasonable proof, he
would want to know why they did
not. lie said he was determined to
break up these criminal practices.
