Chicago is receiving some criticism because of her rigorous treatment Of robbers. The statute making highway robbery punishable by life imprison- ment has been resurrected and in one week nine holdup men were sent over the road for life. All right. It is hu- mane and just to talk about reform ing criminals Every man who errs and is sorry. and wants to do better should be given as much opportunity for reformation as the welfare of so- ciety can stand. But the man who makes an assault for the purpose of gain Is at heart deteStable murderer. He isn't an ordinary thug, He is pre- pared to slay. Human life is sacred. It Is a fact pretty well ground into the brain of every human being. The man who waits in the dark armed with q bludgeon and revolver, keyed to the point where he will kill in order to gain your personal property, Is a premeditated murderer. He knows what he Is doing, and what he pro poses to do. He also knows that in most cities If he can employ a smart attorney, one with political pull pse- ferred, and has enough money. or friends who have money, he can either escape entirely or get of with short sentence. That kind of a man is an enemy of society. Decency forbids electrocuting him unless he has taken life, and so wisdom demands that he disappear, not for few months or a few years. but until he shall emerge from behind the dark walls of a prison in his coffin. Reform him In his cell if you will Treat him humanely and kindly. But keep him where he will never again be tempted to raise his murderous hands against his kind. 4 look at the criminal statistics of this country and psrusal of the thou sands of criminal tragedies reported in the newspapers prove that the terror of the law does not appeal to those who do wrong with the force 1t should
 Certainly Chicago has done well.

The public school has been the cor ner stone of our civil and social struc- ture. Whatever of strength we have attained, whatever advance we have made. have had their origin and their inspiration there. The suggestion that We are aiming too high and spending too much on our schools sounds ominous and reactionary. We may be spending too much If our sys- tenn is to be the sport of local politics and the spoil of their manipulators, because that way lies graft and gen eral demoralization. but if the funds are honestly employed to make our educational influences the most en- Tightening and far-reaching possible we can make no better investment than to keep on spending and annually increa sing the amount.

Use for Surplus Potatoes.

The abundance of potatoes fin this country the present year suggests the possibility that new uses will need to be found for the crop within few years. In Germany the manufacture of alcohol from potatoes Is one of the mainstays of agriculture. Before the industry was started potatoes were drug on the market. Now there Is a regular market for the whole of the produce. and the importance of the potato crop has vastly increased. The alcohol Is treated in such way that it is unfit for drinking purposes and so not liable to special tax. It is used for heating, lighting and motive power, varnishes, etc, and last year two mill ion tons of potatoes were used in this way.

Poultry piclIinKs.

The mongrel is thing of the past In profitable poultry culture.
 Chickens should never be allowed to 20 on the roosts until ten or twelve weeks old.
 An oyerfed hen is stupid, lazy and unprofitable. The eager. active, hun gry hen is the profit maker.
 Fowls must have variety of food to do well. No one grain will long be relished by the fowls if made an ex- elusive diet.
 In breeding high-class fowls it is quality, not quantity, that counts. A combination of both is desirable, but not always obtainable.
 A little linseed meal in the mash occasionally will tend to add luster to the plumage and promote digestion, but it must be fed sparlngly.
 Every poultryman should be a stu dent. He should by careful study and close observation equip himself to mas ter the emergencies that are certain to arise sooner or later.
 The early-laying bullet should be marked and kept for the breeding pen next season, provided sne is otherwise a good bird. In nearly all cases the bullet that begins to lay early in life is the one that will lay the largest number of eggs In a year.
 Any man or woman of ordinary in- telligence, with the proper application of industry and perseverance, can make a success of the poultry business. The man who says cant" simply ad- mits that he Is lacking in the qualifi. cations that are essential to success.

Late Calves.


 Owing to the increasing demands of the great ccnters of population, farm CTS have to enter into contracts to sup ply quantities of milk all the year round. and in consequence are com pelled to have fresh calying cows com. ing into profit not at one period mere ly. The most difficult period 10 cope 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 calye at that period.

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 a greater value, so it is hard to understand why pig raisers are so careless about grow ing root crops for their animals. Not only have the root crops 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 uoth, a-a fed in connection with light rations of grains, using mid dlings instead of bran, pork of high quality can be produced cheaper than in any other way, with the possible ex- ccptlon of the substitution of ensilage for the root crops.

How Hay Is W asted.

Many pretty good farmers lose money every year by allowing the rain to wash out the substance of their nay crops. Most of the valuable parts of hay are easily washed out by rain. This is made clear by taking wisp of hay, placing it in n bucket and pouring boiling water over 1t. The result is brown fluid which has received the name of hay tea. Cold water will eS- tract the juices in a similar manner If little more time is allowed. This, then, is what takes place when half made hay is allowed to He abroad over the surface and is not made into cocks. No water draws tea so well as soft water, and rain water is soft. and 1t draws the hay just on the same princi- pie as it would draw tea. When the mir is fairly dry the material tedded iu early morning should be tedded again in the afternoon. On the second day an endeavor should he made to get the hay in such form that on the appearance of rain 1t may rapidly be run up into large cocks. in which it is safe. Assuming that the Work IS car ried on as far as possible by machin- cry. the first operation is to horserake the hay into rows, and the tedder should be set to work along the rows so as to throw them out into beds about four yards wide. From time to time the tedder should be made to re- peat the operation, until the approach of evening, when the beds may be drawn into rows and then collected into large cocks.
