sumed in the supreme court, today. II
was predicted that the preliminary
work would be completed and that the
case OF the prosecution would be well
under Way before the close Of the pres

course is the most uncertain task as
regards time. This has been consider
ably simplified. however. by the posi-

special panel summoned for service In
the case. realizing that they would be
obliged TO undergo searching Ques-
tioning as to physical fitness for Jury

ter the tragedy. Both attorneys for the
prosecution and the defence deny any

GETS PAY FOR OLD STUMPS.
Farmers Reimbursed by the Specula-
tive Makers of Turpentine.

Farmers Reimbursed by the Specula-
tive Makers of Turpentine.
Turpentine can be extracted from
an old pine stump and this fact is the
basis of a new industry reported from
northern Minnesota. The promoters OF
the novel enterprise are asking farm
ers for the privilege Of clearing their
land of stumps.
Such a proposal comes to the owner
Of a ''cut-over" farm, whose ribs are
sore from contact with the pillow han
dies in futile effort to dodge the OBJ
strusive stump, like a message of de-
~liverance. All the promoter wants is
the stumps, and the farmer sincerely
wants him to have them, 50 a bargain
Is easily struck.
The turpentine men go on the land
with a stump puller and extract all
the remnants of the forest, hauling
them away to the plant where the tur-
pentine is extracted, and all the
stumps, pine or hardwood, are burned
for charcoal. 1t is asserted that the
stumps are rich in turpentine and that
the process yields good financial re-
turns.
Hitherto the manufacture of tur-
pentine has been practically confined
to the South, where the yellow pine is
very rich in all by-products. White
pine yields them in comparatively
small quantities. 1t is not likely that
the industry will ever reach great pro-
portions in the north, but as long as
the turpentine man finds his raw ma
terial cheap and easily accessible he
Is likely to carry on the good work.
What Minnesota is more interested
in is the elimination Of the stumps.
Some cut-oyer land really needs them
to decay and thus enrich the sandy
soil, but there are large areas of good
farming land, especially adapted to
potatoes, red clover and other crops
that will be much more valuable when
entirely cleared. 1t is an enormous
labor for the farmer TO clear a quarter
section of these distractions. When
it is done he cal put in a larger crop
acreage and raise more to the acre,
but the clearing means years of labor.
If he can have it done him by the tur-
pentine and charcoal producer, he will
not begrudge his benefactor a hand.

Coop for Growing Chicks.

Where chicks are raised in consider
BILE numbers, it is necessary to pro-
vide protection for them while they
are on the range, and a house such as
is illustrated and described here may
be produced at small cost. Make a
number of them and scatter them over
the range. Obtain a number of small
dry goods boxes, making the roof of
any material one has on the farm or
buying the cheap hemlock lumber and
covering the cracks with laths or tar
red paper. In the gable end cut a
large hole for ventilation and arrange
the opening in the front so that some
means will be had for closing it Sc
that the storm may be shut off.

ing window may be used to close the
front; If many coops are made the
opening may be closed by a sliding
door made of thin material. During
the summer, if this solid wood door
was used it would be advisable to
make the ventilation opening larger
and cover it with some coarse mesh
wire netting. Unless one has had eX'

The Cost of Making Pork.

The sole purpose of finishing q
bunch of pigs at an early age is to
make them more profitable by saving
feed. 1t takes a certain amount mere
~ to keep them, and the shorter the
time they are kept the less this will
cost. SO far 1t Is a simple problem,
but there are other factors which en-
ter in. The pushing process may be
the most costly in the end because
it requires the feeding of a large
quantity of high-priced grain or mill
stuffs, whereas by utilizing the pas
lures and the woods they may make
a cheaper growth and ultimately go to
market at less cost. 1t may be said
that the pasture has value in proper
ton to the grain. Sometimes it has
and sometimes it has nOt-all de-
ponds on what something else could
get out of it in the way of gain and
consequent cash. The point Is that
early maturity in the sense of market
ing hogs at an early age is the best
thing only when 1t is the cheapest. A
man can afford to wait a couple of
months to put his pigs on the market
If by utilizing pastures or forage and
saving high-priced grain he can do it
cheaper. The cost of marketing a
pound Of pork and not the time it
takes to do it is the vital problem.

LOss from Bitter Rot.

The losses from bitter rot of apples
are seldom appreciated, but the men
that have investigated them declare
them to be simply for the
entire country. Professor Blair Of the
University of Illinois. said last fall
that the losses from bitter rot in four
counties of Illinois had totaled for the
past season 81, 100000. This was in
the four counties of Marion, Clay,
Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot Is a
fungous disease and can be controlled
to some extent by spraying. 1t is time
that apple growers awOke fully to the
tax they are every year pay
ing to the fungous diseases that raw
age orchards. Could farmers elimi-
nate even this one scourge Of bitter
rot we would add millions Of dollars
to the value Of the apple crop.

Little Profit In Cooking Feed.

The utility in cooking feed for ami
mails, and especially for pigs, was
given most attention in the days previ-
Gus to Investigations by experiment
stations. Cooking feed is no longer
regarded as an economical practice for
ing stock and sick animals, and for
animals which it Is desired to put into
the very highest condition, cooking
may be practiced with good results, II
expense Is disregarded. Pigs so fed
show marked thriftlnoss and health.

Treatment for Scratched,

The best treatment for scratches Is
to put n ounce each Of sulphate Of
zinc, sugar-of-lead and powdered alum
into a quart bottle, fill with pure soft
water and shake well. Saturate the
sore places well ICE a day for a
week, then apply sweet oil to the scab
once a day to soften the scab and
make 1t peel off; then wash with
warm water and CASTLE soap. If the
horse is used while being cured, al
ways clean and dry the legs, rubbing
with the sawdust or a clean sack. The
long, natural growth OF hair on the
lower part Of the legs and fetlocks
should never be cut off, and If the
horses legs are rubbed clean and dry
when brought in from work, they will
not be liable to get the scratches.

her in; but a COW that 1t takes a buck
ct TO get her nose in, you will have to
take a bucket to milk her in. In

Cultiyatinp Drilled Corn,

1t. is generally conceded that more
corn "a be grown on an acre in
drills than in hills, but In weedy land
the great trouble is to keep drilled
corn clean and free from weeds. The
great mistake in %cultivating drilled
corn usually is made at the first
working, when shOvels of medium size
are used and small burrows left close
to the rows. We find it no harder to
keep drilled corn free from weeds
than it is to keep hill corn clean, by
using the smoothing harrow across
the rows just as soon as the corn is up.
In four or five days a second harrow
ing may be given and then the cult
vators be set to work.
Avoid leaving any furrow close to
the rows, and also be sur not to
throw a ridge of earth up to the
plants. Keep the land just as level
as possible the first two or three
workings and then as the plants be-
gin to shade the ground they will do
much to smother out weeds. The later
cultivation of any corn is best given
by a one-horse five shovel c%ultivator
instead of the two-horse riding imple-
ment, as with the former n can go
very shallow and keep at any desired
distance from the growing corn. We
believe there are too many high-priced
riding c%ultivators and not enough
small one-horse implements used. The
latter, diligently used, insure clean
crops.
