ENCOURAGING HOMICIDE.
Southern Press Opinion of Verdict
In the Loving Case.

III AhN
From the Louisville Courier journal.
No man is allowed by law to take
vengeance into his own hand 1t is pretty
well settled, however, that a jury will not
punish a man for killing the destroyer Of
his home. But before man is killed.
certainly his guilt ought to be established
beyond a reasonable doubt, as the guilt
Of his slayer must be before he can bS
convicted. The new doctrine is that a
lie, however improbable, is just as good
as the truth to Justify the killing of a
man as a matter Of private vengeance,
but the homicide cannot be punished il
anybody says that an improbable story
was told him some years before the kill
ing. The acceptance Of such a construc-
ton Of the law is nearly equivalent to the
repeal Of all laws against murder.
Prom the Richmond Times Dispatch.
The practical. concrete fact Of the res
is unsafe. the law against murder is al
most nullihed, and the State Is in the
ignomInious position Of being unable TO
protect her own citizens. The practical
thing to do is to correct the law at the
earliest possible moment. The newspapers
and the leaders Of thought and action
in the State should direct public attention
70 the subject and arouse sentiment so
that the very day the legislature meets
measures will be introduced which will
make recurrence Of conditions like those
Of the Loving case impossible. This viii
not only provide safeguards for the fu-
ture, but will express, in the one way
possible, the feeling and opinion Of the
people on the result Of this trial

Grass Report from Connecticut.

On the third day of June, 1905, after
thorough cultivation of the soil, sowed
three and one-half acres Of high and
dry abandoned New England field to
alfalfa. In fifty-three days from the
time it was sown cut one and one-half
tons of dry hay to the acre, and in fifty
three days more the same amount was
cut again; in the season of 1906 | cut
four crops of one and one-half tons OF
dry hay to each acre, making in all
thirty tons in six crops. In 1866
used only commercial fertilizer. This
spring put about four or five cords of
decomposed yard manure on each acre,
using Richardson manure spreader to
drop it evenly. The spring has been 80
backward that the first crop didn't ma
ture until the 18th of June. l was for
tunate enough to have seven clear days,
and put in the first crop, 10 1-2 tons
from the 1-2 acres, in fine condition
the 7th day after cutting, substantially .
tons to the acre, some more and some
less, seven crops in substantially two
yea rs, total nearly Al tons. After cut.
ting each crop, l have set my double
action harrow at light angle and gone
over the field each way with it, sowing
little more seed each time. Each crop
has grown stronger, this last being
double any other. 1t is now growing an
inch per day.
The grass crop of every kind in this
section is light because of continued
cold weather. Last year the two crops
from the 11-acre field of timothy and
red-top, together with the four crops
from the 1-2 acres of alfalfa, amounted
to 1O2 tons. In short time l expect
to commence cutting my S-acre timothy
and red-top field, and will then report
results. If Farmer readers will send me
a two-cent stamp, I will tell them how
to grow grass on the intensive plan

Notes from Maine.
RAPID TRANSITION FROM COLD TO SUM-
MER HEAT-NATURE's QUICK RE-
sPONSE.

After one of the most cold and back.
ward springs ever known, we are now in
the midst Of summer heat and showers,
conditions which tend to force all vege.
tation to rapid growth. have never
known corn and potatoes to come up SC
quickly or so we'll as they have this
spring. Portions of the sweet corn at
The Pines were standing, every bill
we'll out of the ground, with leaves we'll
spread, in one week from planting.
Oats have suffered some from dry
weather, but the copious showers will
give them new life and start them to
growing rapidly. The stand of grass
and clover was never better than that
secured this season, and l am anticipat-
ing much pleasure from the fine growth
of clover that must surely follow the tax
ing off OF the oats crop. We sowed about
four hundred pounds Of high grade
fertilizer an acre on the oats ground,
which, in addition to the manure and
fertilizer used on the corn and with the
extra tillage, has put the soil in fine con.
dition.
Grass, although late, promises full
hay crop. There are no vacant spots
from winter killing, and very little of
the fields shows an absence of clover
blossoms. Our one great pest-the
crows-have been with us again.
Neither guns, fires, images nor other
"searecrows" had any effect. We there
fore adopted heroic measures, station
ing man in the field all the time from
daylight to dark. After few days of
this treatment they took the hint, bu t
not till several of their number had paid
the penalty of their folly with their
lives. The corn is now out of their
reach, and we can again ''lie in bed till
tits fairly light. ."-B. Walker McKeen in

High Prices for Grain,

There can be little question but prices
for grain products will rule comparative
ly high for the next twelve months, and
farmers may we'll lay plans and make
calculations accordingly. AS far as the
grain crops of this country are concern
ed, while wheat and oats will be short OF
last year, and corn cannot so overcome
the unfavorable conditions of the season
thus far as to anywhere near reach the
bumper crop of year ago, yet without
doubt there will be more OF each OF
these grains realized in the harvest than
will be needed for our home consump-
ton. So there can be no shortage of a
needed home supply. But the price OF
grain in this country is usually control,
led by the selling value of our surplus.
There is no room for doubt that the
European crop of grain, especially oi
winter wheat will be short in the ex-
treme. This is sure to create sharp
demand and correspondingly high prices
for the surplus we may have to spare.
1t is this condition that was the princi-
pal cause of the recent sharp advance in
market values.
The June government reports of the
grain crop prospects are more favorable
than for the previous month, and thus
do not indicate any sensational jumps
in prices, but at the same time, with il
settled as good as certain that our crop
cannot be a full one, and that the de.
mand abroad will be heavy, it is safe to
conclude that buyers of grain feed need
not look for lower prices for year to
come.-Maine Farmer.

Arranaina a Mystery.


In his youthful days the Marquis de
Mores was a cavalry lieutenant on an
eastern froptier garrison, and one day
while out at exercise with party OF
mounted men they found themselves
on German territory. Their attention
was called to the fact by an inn on the
roadside bearing the sign "The King
Of Prussia"
"a hundred francs to the man who
brings me that sign" he said, loud
enough to be heard, and the party re-
gained the French side Of the frontier
at q gallop. Next morning Lieutenant
de Mores found the sign reared up
against the wall Of his quarters, and,
taking a hundred franc note In one
hand, he walked slowly through the
stables with the hand behind his back.
Presently he felt q hand take the
note, and q voice said quietly, Thanks,
lieutenant"
De Mores was careful not to look
around or In any direction that could
assist Identification. Thus had any
outcry been raised the rape Of the

Summer Vacations,

All the magazines are filled with de-
scriptions of delightful little holiday
trips lasting from e week to four months
some of the articles made up of moth
ing but photographs. But they are all
intended for city people. No one expects
the farmer to take a vacation, for the
summer is his busy time. Yet why
shouldn't we have vacations? Who
much truth in the saying that man can
accomplish more by working eleven
months and resting one month than he
can by working twelve months. Isup-
pose some will say they can't afford to
go of for change. But they will find
it cheaper than staying home. In actual
dollars and cents they may spend bit
more, but they will gain so much by see-
ing new things and people, in renewed
spirits, in the pleasure they will give
their families, that after once trying it
they will never go back to the old way
again.
Some friends of mine whose income
does not exceed $1,000 year land they
have to pay rent out of that manage to
get away for week every year. They
put few simple things in a grip and go
up to the Adirondacks, where they
board with a guides family for SO a
week a piece and "a for the little girl.
Here they have good things to eat,
plenty of fishing, boating and no end of
lovely walks. The trip up and bac k
cost them s6.12 and their board $40.
This they lay aside each year as part
of their regular expenses.
Many of US are so situated that we
could easily raise this money and if
necessary little more. How? Well, in
various ways. Here is one: Suppose
you have flock of 100 hens. BY caring
for them a little better you could no
doubt raise the average number of eggs
so as to get twelve more from each hen.
At cents each that would give you S24,
and a dozen extra cOckrels sold would
bring in SO more, making the required
amount. Again, you could fatten a
steer every year which would bring in
about s25 or $50; or raise few lambs
each year that would average about 81

The Swineherd.

Cleanly conditions help to ward of
cholera.
If the brood SOW is too fat, the pigs
are apt to lack vigor.
There ia better market for medium
sized hogs than for those that are over
grown.
Do not forget to give the pigs some
wood ashes, as they greatly assist in
building the framework by furnishing
the lime, as ashes are more than 40 per
cent lime. 1t also helps to sweeten the
stomach.
In selecting pigs to keep for breeders
pick the SOW with the longest body.
Care and feed of the pig from birth to
maturity are the secret of success and
profit.
A good boar will add quality to your
future porkers faster than anything
else.
The boar is half the herd, but the 9th
or half is equally important.
The i'll bred SOW, like the i'll bred
cow, produces poor progeny.
During the first months of pigs life
growth and increased weight can be
made cheaper or with less feed than at
any time later on in life.-Farmers Ad-
! vOcate.
Give the brood sows warm, dry sleep.
ing quarters. Be sure that there are
no drafts in the pens. Hogs are sub
ject to pneumonia if exposed to cold and
drafts.
The sanitation of the piggery should
be guarded as carefully as the sanitation
of a hospital. Damp aud i'll ventilated
sleeping quarters are fatal to pigs, and
unless the owner will see to it that hogs
always have a dry and we'll ventilated
place to sleep he had much better keep
out of the business.
Too heavy feeding in the first few
days to strong SOW in good condition
induces scours in the piglings and per-
haps graver dirorders in the SOW her
self, says a Canadian breeder. Corn
meal should be used with caution dur
ing the first three weeks after farrow-
ing. After that not much caution is
needed. For the first three weeks after
farrowing there is nothing better than
middlings fed either in diluted skim
milk or water. 1t is advisable to feed
warm foods in all cases. Cold water
direct from we'll or spring should not
be used for mixing the food. For the
first two weeks we like to scald the
meal into a thick porridge and then
dilute with water or with milk and
water.
