Back Bay the height of structures is
still further restricted by statute.
The old Bay State believes thoroughly
in it's own conservatism, however; it is
satisfied to pay for its principles in hard,
cold cash, even. A fashionable apartment
hotel on Copley square, the "show" spot
in the city, was, with the permission of
the city authorities, built to height
that violated, by one story, a special
building law which applied to no other
part of the town. The people began an
agitation to have the offending top story
removed. 1t was carried into the legls-
lature finally and the people won; but the
little bit off the top" cost the citizens
of Boston 100000, for the hotel proprie-
tors. arguing that they had violated the
law by permission of the corporation
counsel won their suit for damages
against the municipality.

MURDERERs AND INSURANCE

We notice that the Illinois appellate
court has just affirmed the decision of
a lower court that a life insurance com
pany need not pay to the heirs of a man
who was executed for murder the
money for which it would have been
liable if he had died in some other way.
The position taken was that such a
payment would be against public
policy.
The decision, while doubtless salts
factory to the company which thus es-
capes loss, might, we should think, be
viewed with some regret in insurance
circles, for murderers, while American
law remains what it is, ought to be
pretty good risks, their chances of
dying from anything else than old age
or lack of exercise being but slight. In
many cases, indeed, mans "expecta-
ton" of life is actually increased when
he commits a murder, for thereafter
and Immediately he abandons the highly
irregular habits to which potential
murderers are lamentably prone. They
stop drinking strong waters, they re-
frain from late indigestible suppers,
and they avoid the many perils of daily
companionship with folk of their own
kind.

fear that it was a mistake to fight the
payment of the policy declared void by
the Illinois court Business is business,
or so we have often been told, and 1t
strikes us as good insurance business
to encourage murderers to insure their
lives just before they commit their
crimes. Now and then, of course. a
policy would have to be paid, but the
death rate among murderers as a class
is abnormally low and seems to be get
ting steadily lower.-New York Times.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Rag Weed Valuable as Hay.

The value of rag weed as fodder
for cattle was discovered in a VERY
simple way, writes correspondent OF
Farm Progress. \ farmer had lust
cut n fine lot of timothy hay and had
hauled it TO his hay yard and stacked

hnnds TO bring IN load of rag weed.
which instead of throwing away. as
usual. he wished to usc as bedding FOR
his dairy cattle, which lie was prepar-
Ing to exhibit ut fair.
The rag weed was dumped near the
haystack. The cows were driven into
the hay yard ana left for awhile to
shift for themselves, the stack of hay
being considered sufficient feed for the
time being.
When the farmer returned the next
day he got the surprise of his life The
first thing he noticed was that the hay
stack was standing untouched. When
lie turned around he got another shock.
The pile of rag weed had vanished.
The COWS would not touch the hay un-
I'll they had eaten every shred of the
rag weed.
Using rag weed hay as winter ra-
ton for cattle has been found highly
successful by many farmers In Mis-
souri,, and there is reason to believe
that II VIII become just us popular in
other states.

Brush In tho Fields.

We have got to subdue the brush or
the brushes and trees will subdue us.
They march on us so still and silent
y that we hardly notice them at all
until they get such hold that II Is
next to impossible to get rid of them.
Many farmers In moving their fields
leave few brushes under the walls
and fences, MS they do not want TO get
them mixed in the hay. and so they
leave few more every year. and we
often see large, smooth meadows with
rim OF brush n rod wide clear around
the field.
have always found the best way 10
get rid Of the brush and weeds was to
cut them every year when we NOW
the grass ana rake them up close TO
the wall and when dry burn them up
clean. and In doing this you not only
get rid of the brush, but lots of wood
chucks and rabbits. and 1t makes the
farm look so much nicer that we feel
more than paid for all our trouble.

Buying a Boar.

IF we were TO give n little advice
on the side TO the average breeder OF
grade hogs 1t would simply be this:
If you have good breeder OF pure
bred hogs in your locality go to him
early In the season. pick out one of
his good pisa pig that will correct
the principal weakness in your sows--
and then ask him for his best price.
or course there are breeders whose
reputation places them beyond the
reach Of the average breeder of grade
stock, but we are speaking OF tho
ordinary breeder of pure bred hogs.
Above all things do not wait around
until You are absolutely In need OF a
male and then 80 and pick up some
body's scrub. Live stock gets scrub
by fast enough even when good males
nre used. and it Is shortsightcd policy
