SHOOTS UNCONSCIOUS WIFE.
A Novel Criminal Trial Ended With .
Conviction of Manslaughter.

New York, October 26.-A novel
criminal trial ended to-day, when Jas.
Wardell, weak looking young man,
was convicted of manslaughter for
helping his wife commit suicide. 1t
was the first trial of the kind that has
been held III this country. Wardell
may get twenty years.
The jury did not. believe the story
that Wardell told on the stand while
crying bitterly. He said he called on
his wife, who had been living with
him, ard asked her to return to him.
He told her he loved her and she said
that she would live with him.
But" she added, "if I should ever
afraid of being buried alive"
She explained to him that she was
fearful because she had been over
come by gas once and he promised to
kill her If he found her in that state.
The first thing he knew she was In
bed with the gas s>turned on and he
thought she was dead. Then he got
! a pistol and shot her.
ST 1t was brought out that the bullet
was fired into her body after she was
dead. A note was also produced to
show that they had agreed to commit
suicide together.
"a plea was made for Wardell that
the evidence showed that he had not
aided in his wife's suicide, but that he
only kept his promise to make sure
that she was dead If she was over
come by gas. Wardell stood stiff
cross examination, but his story was
not shaken. Most of the time he was
@on the stand he wept, saying that
whatever he had done was prompted
by love Of his wife. He will not be
sentenced until next week.

WHEN AND HOW.
Time and Methods of Farm Work De.
termine the Measure OF Success.

The work of the farmer consists
largely in stirring the soil in various
ways, but it is necessary to know
when and how to stir that soil to get
the most out of It, When and how to
do things comprise the main bulk of
our work on the farm. The difference
between the poor farmer and the
good farmer is regulated by the differ
ence of their opinions as to when and
how to do things.
In the west, where the frosts strike
deep into the plowed ground, that
ground should be plowed in the fall
that most needs the action of the
frost to break it up, says Farmers
Review. There are some soils in
which the work of the frost seems
unimportant, this kind of soil be-
ing mainly sandy SOIL On the clay
soil the land that is plowed deep in
the fall is improved in some way by
the cold Various agricultural stu
dents have had different conceptions
of how this work goes on, but the
The when and the how regulate the
profits of the farm to very great eX-
tent Many of our readers will re-
member that about three years ago
the rains in the spring in Illinois came
just before the land would naturally
be plowed for the ordinary field crops.
The necessity for getting the crops
early led many farmers to pillow their
fields while the soil was still too wet
to be friable. The ground was just
in that condition in which it broke up
In hard Jumps. During all the season
men were seen in the fields trying to
cultivate those Jumps out of the sur
face soil. In preparing those fields
for small grain the harrows were
sent over them again and again. That
illustrates the necessity for knowing
when to do work
The how to do farm work is mat
ter Of endless controversy, though in
most things some well-proven rules
are being evolved. One man on land
that does not need to be plowed deep
insists on very deep blowing and dou-
bles the amount of work to be put on
that field This means doubling the
cost Of the labor, which in these days
of high-priced labor is consideration
of Importance. During the dull days of
fall and winter the farmer has the
best time in which to study out the
when and the how
