PRISON TRUCK FARM
ONE OF FEATURES OF MISSOURI
PENITENTIARY.
is Started Because Warden Of lnstltu-
ton Likes to See Things Grow
Welcome Change in Con-
Wet Fare.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Truck garden
ing on a large scale has become one
of the features of the management Of
the Missouri penitentiary, under Matt
W. Hall, who is farmer when not in
the public service, and has the Unborn
desire of all farmers to see things
growing around him. On what is
known as the state farm" he has this
year produced tremendous amount
of garden stuff of all kinds, all OF
which is utilized on the prison table,
affording a very welcome and health
full change of menu for the convicts.
The state farm" consists OF AZ
acres of land Part OF 1t has been cut
away in supplying clay for the prison
brlckyard, part is utilized as a pas
ture, and about IA acres are TILED for
the prison garden.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the
output Of the prison garden can be
gained by the statement that 47O bush
els of SNAP beans have already been
fed to the convicts this season. It
takes 70 bushels to go around at one
meal in the prison dining room.
On three-quarters of an acre OF
ground 26,500 pounds of cabbage have
been cut this season. This is not all
of the cabbage crop, but this was an
early and unusually prolific patch"
There are several acres more Of the
garden in cabbage.
Onions to the amount OF several
hundred bushels, besides several
meals Of young onions, served early
in the spring. radishes, rhubarb and
other stuff were grown in the greatest
abundance.
The pride of the warden and his SUI
perintendent, John Brumer, centers,
however, in the tomato crop. Eleven
thousand seven hundred vines, cover
ing something over three acres OF
ground, are in full fruit, and yield now
something like 40 bushels per day. A
more welcome addition to the prison
fare than sliced tomatoes could not
be. supplied. The crop is exceedingly
prolific and fine this season, and the
vines will keep on bearing until frost
Col. Hall figures on having enough
green tomatoes to pick late in Sep
TENDER to make several hogsheads OF
Chow chow" and other pickles to add
to the prison larder.
The garden lies on top of some OF
the high bluffs overlooking the Mis-
souri, river. The land originally was
not the best, but has been brought tc
high state of productiyeness by fer
tilization. Six or eight crippled and
| superannuated convicts are employed
in the garden under the supervision o.
| Mr.. Brumer
It is the intention of Warden Hal
to put in next spring small herd O.
cows for the purpose of supplying
milk and butter for the prison hos
pital. They will be kept in connection
with the garden and will work a con
siderable saving to the state, as the
milk and butter supply for the hos
pital now costs something like six dol
lars per day.

II was discovered some years ago
that a part of the business district of
Minneapolis was built over a great
subterranean cavern. whose rocky
roof lay some sixty or more feet be-
low the surface. but the fact has been
kept quiet until now. when the roof
Of the cave has been put upon the
support OF great concrete pillars. The
cave had been caused by a subter-
ranean waterfowl. which has been d.
verted. When accidentally discov'
cred, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, the cavern contained a lake OF
fine ice-cold water, ten feet deep. and
large enough to have supplied the
city.

The world is not yet so settled
that all the old thrilling tales of new
country must go out of stock. 1t is
several years since western America
furnished an exciting story OF a rail-
way race for a pass through the
mountains. But now from Alaska
comes the old tale retold. Rival roads
building from the southern coast
northward toward the Yukon and the
coppermines. have chased for the
needed passes; and pitched battles
have been fought with rifles. It is the
same story wherever business goes in
advance of the law.

coIleoes Undesirable Fire Risks.

Colleges are now regarded as rather
undesirable insurance risks, and 1t is
probable that the rate will be gen.
orally increased. In Is years 7S4 fires
have occurred in college buildings, en-
failing a loss of $10.50O,OO0 in money
and heavy loss Of life. This makes.
the average money loss over $4,000.
