Experience with Manure spreader.

Experience with Manure Spreader.
My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land is
far in advance of the old practice, says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader it is
put on uniformly, and all parts of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fire.
quently happened that the work Of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much Of
the fertilizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib-
utes it evenly.

Rate OF Forest pestruction.

According to bulletin issued by tho
forest service of the Agricultural De
partment, every person in this county IS
using over six times as much wood as
the individual consumption in Europe
and the country as a whole consumes
over three times what the forests OF the
United States grow during the year, Inc
consequence of this policy is an newt
able timber famine. 1t is pointed OUT
that the increased population since lSoo
is barely more than half the increase IN
lumber cut, so that the increase OF fcf-
est destruction cannot be explained en-
tirely on the theory of increased popu-
lation. The Northeastern States hsVe

committee visited the crank house"

USED THE WATER CURE
Investigation CT Warden Haskell
Shows Nothing Serious.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 19-The TAX
ing of testimony by joint committee
of two Kansas senators and three MEM
bers of the house of representatives in
the investigation of charges of cruelty
made by DR.. Grigsby, ex-prison physi-
clan, against w. H. Haskell, warden,
was completed late Monday. DR.. Grigs-
by was the only witness in the fore
noon, but he made so many dana ging
admissions that they did not put any
more witnesses on the stand DR..
Grigsby ACKNOWLEDGED that he recon-
mended the water cure to the warden.
The first witness in the afternoon was
James Dobson, deputy warden, who
testified that he and DR.. Grigsby were
in charge of punishments and that DIR.
Grigsby recommended the water cure
and directed it. He sail that DR..
Grigsby decided when the prisoner had
enough. Dobson said that he worked
with DR.. Grigsby for years on punish
ments, he never heard of any charges
of cruelty until the doctor was dis
charged.
o. NJ. Spencer, crank house" guard,
assistant to Grigsby in administering
water cure, testified that the doctor
fixed the straps. He said that Dr.
Grigsby signaled whether the water
or down, DR.. Grigsby specified that F.
NJ Stanford, an Oklahoma prisoner, was
cruelty treated and in telling of this
case Spencer said:
when brought in and he Immediately
tore up his bed and struck at officers
with a brO Dom stick. He yelled and dis
turbed the dollhouse and I was told to
place him in the crank house The
next morning Warden Haskell told me
to take the prisoner to the doctor for
examination as to his sanity. DR.
Grigsby examined the prisoner and
when he finished, he said: The nigger's
shamming; not a thing ails him.
THE warden said: If you say doc
tor, he is sane take him and punish
him. The prisoner was taken back to
the crank house and placed in the
crib in sitting position and the water
cure administered with the doctor di-
recting and the warden present The
prisoner tainted and the doctor cut the
strap across his breast and worked
with him and brought him to. The
warden said that the prisoner should be
placed in a cell and watched closely
Two days la ter the doctor examined the
prisoner again and pronounced him in
sane this time and then the warden had
him taken back to Oklahoma
Warden Haskell testified that he was
present two or three times when the
water cure was administered, that he
authorized it and believed that it was

said 1t was not as severe as a straight
jacket. electricity, hogging and many
other methods of punishment in vogue

assist them to obtain legal redress
from the man Thaw believed had

The names of these airls, which are
mentioned in the document, were not

them and it is understood has seen all
the girls referred to and has obtained
from them their stories. That he will
be able to put any of these stories be-
fore the jury there is little proba bility.
But he can perhaps use them in his
cross examination of Evelyn Thaw.
The proceedings late yesterday
afternoon gave a hint of what is to
come when Mr.. Jerome begins his
cross examination of Dr. Evans and
plainly showed that when he goes into
the general cross examination of the
experts it will be very searching.
There are few if any lawyers who have
a better knowledge of medicine. as APP

that he will take full advantage of his
knowledge is certain Mr. Jerome
and DR.. Evans are not on friendly
terms and the clash between them will
