NO SICK PRISONERS
TioSs AT COUNTY JAIL.
Ascribed to sanitary Condition of Prison ana It's Cieanly Ccndi- tion, Together With Even
 Temperatufe and
 Good Food.

Not sick prisoner in the county jail. This was the record made yes terday at the county prison.
 we haven't sick prisoner In jail" said Day Jailer Pettus last evening. :. Not only are there ho sick ones. but there is not one who is in the least complaining of being i'll. When the county physician called today he had nothing to do. He didn't even have to prescribe dose of salts. Everybody in jail is we'll and in good spirits.'
 Such health condition as the foreso- ing have probably never before been equalled at the county prison. Until yesterday there were nearly sixty pris- oners confined in the jail, but with the release of several the total number of prisoners last night was fifty-three.
 That health conditions are so abnor- mally good Is ascribed to the comfort. convenience and excellent sanitation of the new jail. together with the cleanly condition In which the jailers and the sheriff require the prison to be Kept. The prisonerfs are we'll shell tered. the temperature of the prison Is kept at a normal degree and the food given the inmates is wholesome. These three requisites of health are supposed 70 be largely responsible for the re- cord that has been made.
 As to the number of prisoners in jail, Mir. Pettus said yesterday that since January II, 1907, when the late Sheriff Belser acceded to office. SIS prisoners have been locked up in the prison. This number includes State transfers and prisoners who have been kept at the prison over night for short periods enropte to some other point.
 Russell Howard, the negro turnkey at the jeil, has probably turned the lock on more prisoners than any other person in Montgomery County. How ard has no way of estimating how many he has locked up, but a fair es- innate is that. during his fifteen years of service in the capacity of turnkey he has averaged locking three persons per day behind the bars. On this basis Howard has locked up about 15,0e0 prisoners during his career In the ser- i GI rIe county.

has not succeeded in getting in foal
for the last two and three years, respect
lively. prior to which time they became
pregnant readily. No one of course can
tell absolutely what is the reason for
barrenness in either case. 1t would
be safe, however, to try what is known
as the yeast treatment. This method
is as follows:
Mix an ordinary two-cent cake of
yeast to a paste with a little water,
and allow it to stand for twelve hours
in a moderately warm place. Then
stir in one pint Of freshly boiled, luke
warm water and allow to stand for
eight to twelve hours. The mixture
is then ready for use, and the entire
quantity should be injected into the
vagina of the animal to be bred. Use
the mixture when the period of heat
is first detected, and breed when the
priod is about ended.

Building Cement Walks.

Cement walks are a very good thing
to have around the farm home, as they
are much more lasting and look better
than plank walks. A good walk of
cement may be built by making an
excavation six to eight inches deep
and three inches wider on each side than
the width of the walk. Where necessary
drain. First put in the foundation, built
up of coarse gravel, sand or cinders
Level these and pack firmly. Make the
foundati so that one inch of cement
will be required to finish on top. TO lay
cement make a form or frame Of 2X4
inch stuff the exact height and weight
of walk, firmly staked to prevent
spread. First put a layer of concrete
made of one part cement, three parts
sharp sand, and three to four parts

The Value of Spe1tz.

We are having letters from time to
time asking about speltz-what kind
of land it will grow on, how much OF
a crop can be grown, and its feeding
va1ue We regard spe1tz as vdlu'
able crop for the region Of scant rain
fall. Tt covers practically the same
ground as macaroni or durum wheat
Speltz has not been grown over sut-
ficiently wide territory to ascertain deil-
nitely it's feeding value. 1t is va
rietv of wheat covered with hulls. 1t
therefore has a large amount of indi-
gestible matter. Compared with oats
or barley it contains about O.5 per cent
more ash, nearly per cent more crude
fiber, and contains per cent less nitro
gen free extract.
In all experiments that have been
made it is inferior to oats in feedlns
value. and therefore if you can grow
oats and barley in your neighborhood'
we would not grow speltz. Where you
cannot grow oats or barley to ad-

coarse stone, cinders, gravel, etc. Make
this three to four inches thick and cover
with one-inch layer of cement mortar.
Make the mortar of one part cement
and one to two and half parts sand.
Lay off in blocks and smooth surface
with wooden or cork float, giving the
surface a little roughness to avoid
glossy or slick finish. After laying
the foundation the concrete and surface
should be laid in blocks four to eight
feet long to prevent cracking. A strip
of tin or sheet iron should be slipped in
at the division line where blocks join.
Remove before cement hardens and you
will have walk laid in blocks so that
if cracks occur but one block is at
fected at a time,

codling moth by spraying before the
blooming of the apples is more than
1 know. Now this suggests TO me that
in studying the matter of spraying, we
should know what we are to spray for,
and the right time to do the work. Hap
hazard spraying will not do. Too much
of that kind of work has been done and
people have quit with disgust. This
reminds me of a man in one of the
counties of Washington who was ad-
viSed to band his trees as a means of
helping to control the cooling moth.
He did so and reported the expert
ment as an absolute failure. He said
that he put the bands on in the spring
and never took them off till late in
the fall. He said that worms were
worse that year than they had ever
been before. No doubt about that, for
he protected the worms by his bands
and very naturally they should have
been worse. He should have taken the
bands off every ten days and killed the
worms under them and then he would
have lessened the next brood. Some
people are very slow to learn things
properly.
A man over here in Puget Sound is
reporting that he is killing off the
cooling moth in his orchard by putting
lights in his orchards Well, nothing
is more certainly settled than that the
cooling moth will not fly to light!

Cost of Building a Cement si1o.

A Wisconsin dairyman, speaking of
his cement silo in Hoard's Dairyman,
says: "a neighbor and myself each
built a cement silo last summer, 10
feet in diameter inside. My silo is 81
feet deep, Is in ground and 16 feet above
ground The other one is 20 feet deep,
feet in ground and "a feet above
ground. We did all the work ourselves,
working together and each paying for
half of form. I kept account Of the
building of my silo, which is as fol-

The wall of these silos is inches
thick reinforced by smooth, heavy wire,
placed near outside of wall; ends of
wire hooked together forming hoop
Inside of silo, walls were given one
brush coat of cement, and are very
smooth. Wires were put one foot apart
near ground, and farther apart near top
Of silo. I filled twice and had II feet
Of silage after uncovering. They are
lots of silos around here, some OF stone,
wood, brick and wood and cement, but
none of them can show better silage
than these two. Not one bit Of moldy
or spoiled silage in either except what
was on top. Walls inches thick are
plenty thick enough if well made; If
not well made better not try a cement
silo.
I intend to stud the silo up on the
outside and lath and plaster next sea-
son to form jacket with dead air
space to keep it warm. We expect to
soon have sold our form for $12, this
will make the cash outlay 5000. MY

cept for wire. He used Sc worth.

the end feel the power of the people.
The people cannot reach the judiciary
as quickly as they can the legislature,
but reach it they can and will. The
Supreme Court Of the United States
can be made over by the people. We
have instances where it has been done.
One Supreme Court in the years fol-
lowing the war declared a certain act
of Congress unconstitutional. Con-
gress increased the number of judges.
President Grant appointed the men,
bers and appointed new members in
place Of members resigning and de-
ceased, and in a few years the SUI
preme Court declared the same act of
Congress constitutional. The homely
philosophy Of Dooley sums up the sit
uation. When the insular cases were
before the Supreme Court, he observed.
that he was unable to state whethe,
or not the Constitution followed the
flag or the flag followed the Constitu-
ton, but one thing he was sure of and
that is that the decisions of the Su.
