Fighting Hail storms.

In this country the production Of
rainfall by artificial means has been
abandoned, although during the past
season, in California, a revival in the
belief has arisen from a coincidence
of heavy rains following the efforts
of so-called "rainmaker." The mat
ter was given rather greater promi-
nence than it deserved from the fact
that the rains followed drought and
were very badly needed.
In Europe the dissipation of hail
storms is being attempted by cannon
aiding and other similar means Of dis
turbing atmospheric air currents and
electrical conditions, and the work has
been pursued continuously for several
years. Syndicates of land owners
have been formed, on the cooperative
plan, to protect particular districts,
and the results of the operations, as
recorded in Complies ReDdus, of the
French academy of science, seem to
indicate that perhaps the cannOnad-
ing is effective While it is not prov
ed that storms are averted, the can
nOnading appears to restore electrical
equilibrium Of the atmosphere and so
tends to mitigate storm conditions,
particularly hailstorms, which, in
some districts, are of frequent occur
renee, and which are very destruc-
tive of crops.

The Use of sawdust.

In some sections sawdust can be
bought at very low prices, and hence
can be proftahly used if rightly
used. 1t is not L good plan to use
it to the exclusion of other mate
rails, particularly in sections where
it is thrown on land already loose, as
sandy soils are likely to De. Those
who have experimental with it think
1t can best be used in connection with
hay or straw, or even leaves, spread
ing it quite thickly over the floor and
covering 1t with the c0arser material.
In this way it quickly will absorb any
of the liquid excrement that falls on
it, will make a softer bed, and can be
used over and over again. OF course
less straw or hay is used than when
the sawdust is not a part of the bed
ding material. An excellent plan is
to use it for horses, then clean out the
best of it, dry it in the sun, and use
it as the bottom bedding for the pigs,
from whence it viii go into the manure
pile. In this way not enough of it is
used to make trouble for the manure
or the soil later.

Grim md tl,e AninnI


Naturally there will always be diff
ferences of opinion as to whether
grain or other stock food brings the
most to the owner sold at market
prices or fed to the stock. Conditions
have much to do with the solving Of
this problem. If feed is high and stock
low in price it doubtless pays to sell
off the surplus food, but it decidedly
does not pay to sell any needed by
the animals, and here is where the
mistake is frequently made
For example, with grains and hay
selling at high prices, the farmer
figures that he can afford to stint his
stock, even if they get quite thin, in
order to have more food to sell. OF
course, he knows that he can get less
for the thin animal than for the one
in good condition, but he argues that
the difference he receives for the
grain more than offsets this, but does
it? Suppose a COW that is thin and
giving the minimum quantity of milk
would sell for SO, isn't it fair to as
sumo that the same animal would
bring double that amount if in good
condition and a full mixer! And
would it require SIS worth of food
TO keep her in good condition above
what the minimum portion of food
costs? This is independent Of the
value of the additional milk and the
increased value of the richer manure.
The subject is worth careful consid-
Grafton, and thorough experiment on
the part of those who doubt the
soundness Of the argument.

Worse than all are the two eyes,

physical suffering dread them more
than anything in the tenth pavilion.

several examinations, he is either re
leased for want of evidence or put

There is no evidence for the defense

he or she is seized by the gendarmes

prisoner is taken to the citadel and
into the office of what is known as
the tenth pavilion" There he is
photographed and his valuables taken
from him. Men and women all re-
ceiye the same treatment, as there are
no female warders in the citadel.

The political prison of Warsaw is
the most hated and certainly the most
dreaded spot in all Warsaw. Once
fortress, it is now a political prison,
behind the walls Of which many grim
and terrible tragedies are enacted
How many men and women have
been executed in the citadel since the
present movement against the Cars
government reached Poland, nobody
but the commandant and the governor
of the prison will ever know.
The few who return from this
prison say little about what goes on
inside, for they dare not tell the
truth. But their drawn faces, shat
tered nerves and bruised bodies speak
for themselves. Little wonder that
the citadel has been called the bastile
Of Poland; little wonder that the
Role shudders at its red walls and
green ramparts. Not only is it the
slaughter house of his race, but its
guns, ever turned toward the city,
are ready to vomit fire at the first
sign OF a general rising against the
Russian stranger within its gates.
Built by Russian hands but with
Polish gold after the revolution of
1863, the citadel forms the apex of
the riangular-shaped Notifications
that stretch from the Prussian to the
Austrian frontiers. 1t is to Poland
what the fortress of SIS. Peter and
Paul in Petersburg is 70 Russia.
Should this country ever escape from
the Russian yoke it will meet the
same fate as the bastile during the
French revolution of 1889.
A visitor to the citadel is struck by
ITS pleasant appearance. There are
NO gray walls or lowering towers
Warm, red brick pavilions, a gold
dOmed church, well-swept walks, and
grass plots flanked by cannon balls ar
Tayed in pyramids are the first things
that meet the eye. Soldiers are being

room-the sort of rooln he might have
known long ago, before he went to
the tenth pavilion.
His eyes, unused to the glare, can
only take in the details gradually, but
before long he sees the pretty furni-
ture, bright curtains, the birds, flow
ers and books which surround him.
His warders have gone and he is left
alone. But not for long.
Like the Spanish Inquisition.
A portiere is drawn aside, two
spruce officers of the gendarmerie en-
ter and ask him in friendly tones to
sit down. This common act of civility
often makes a poor creature shut up
i'll cell for weeks and used to his
warder's brutal speeches, burst into
tears. He sits down bewildered, tea
is brought in, cigarettes are handed
round, and the conversation begins.
This conversation is nothing more
or less than a cross examination pre-
vious to the form of trial which is
generally gone through before q politi-
cal offender is sentenced. The object
is to unnerVe him to such a point that
he makes clean breast of it and
gives information against his party.

MANY LABOR PERMITS.
State Factory Inspector Complies
Statistics of Child Workers.

Statlsttcs OF Ch110 WORKERS.
The State factory inspectors depart
ment is compiling statistics of labor per-
mits issued by the county and municipal
judges throughout the State, since July
l, 1904. With two northern counties
missing, the returns thus far received
show that for the year and a half, 26,50O
working permits were issued to children
in Wisconsin, 23S of which were for boys
under ii years of age. OF the latter
number, about half were vacation per-
mits only, allowing children under the
age limit to work during the summer va
cation. In several counties, not one per-
nit was inssued, and some county judges
seemingly were unaware that a child
labor law was in existence, judging from
the replies they sent to the factory in
spector. In Milwaukee, during the
school period, absolutely no labor permits
are issued to children under II years
Of age, and if Mr. Waller, the factory
inspector, receives knowledge of such
children's being employed he not only
orders them to cease, but arrests the en-
ployer.

The 160-acre farm of Albert Ullmann,

When Ullmann was arrested he secured
bondsmen by deciding his farm of $50

secured an attorney by executing a mort
