THE SIN OF THE STREETS
Young Criminals In The Making And
The Court Where They Are Tried.

The Court Where They Are Tried.
A day spent in New York's Children's
Court will never be forgotten. Here all
the youthful offenders are tried. Into
this court crowds more of human inter-
est than in any other court in the world.
says the September Delineator. Before
its bar is constantly passing great pro.
cession of human incongruities, scenes
vibrant with pathos and humor. For
both pathos and humor consist in the
perception OF incongruities. 1t is the
sins of the parents and the sins of the
living conditions that the overcrowded
city forces on its children that here
stand out most strikingly. The real
culprit is more often the delinquent par.
ent than the delinquent child. The
sight of child trotting to a saloon two
or three times daily, pail in hand to
procure the family supply of beer a
familiar one in a great city--impeaches
the parent for a criminal Indifference.
Small wonder that the child's moral per-
ceptions are obliterated, and his instincts
perverted in such surroundings! 1t is
in the streets, the vice-sown streets, that
the child learns to gamble, to swear, to
steal, He cannot help it. He must
employ the ways of his companions if
he is to survive among them. And the
ways of his companions lead oftenest to
the Children's Court.

Treatment of Consumption.

Treatment of Consumption.
One of the earliest signs of consump'
ton is loss of strength and flesh, and
this should always arouse suspicion in
the case of young man or woman
when there Is no other evident cause
for 1t. In addition to the gradual ema-
ciation there will usually be found q
rapid pulse, shortness of breath, ane-
mia, as shown by pale lips and ex-
treme whiteness of the eyes, a poor
appetite, and Indigestion. There may
be feverishness In the afternoon, to-
gether with hacking cough and some
times a little splitting of blood; but
this is more commonly sign which
appears in the later stages.
The two mainstays of the person
threatened with, or actually suffering
from, consumption are fresh air and a
generous diet. In no disease should the
injunction to throw physic to the
dogs" be so faithfully obeyed.
If possible the consumptive should
oiScp dNIuaiiJ III the OpSH ar, Ou u
balcony sheltered from the north and
east winds; but if this cannot be done,
the windows Of the bedroom should be
kept wide open at night and the bed
should be so placed that it is bathed
in the air entering from without The
patients often fear this will give them
"colds" or Increase the cough, but it
does just the opposite OF course the
sleeper should be well protected, with
hood In very cold weather, and a
warm sleeping robe SO as not to be-
come chilled If the bedclothes are acci-
dentally displaced.
The daytime should be passed in the
open air. The patient, If weakness or
fever keeps him from walking,
should sit all day on a porch or by an
open window on the sunny side of the
house, and should practice full, deep
breathing for few minutes at a time
| frequently.
The diet should be as nutritious as
1t Is possible to make 1t. Eggs and
good allowance of meat, and also of
milk should be the standbys, with
fat If fat can be digested. Care raust
be taken not to upset the stomach, for
much depends upon good digestion
but patient living in the open air
day and night will be astonished at
the quantity of food he can eat and as
simulate. Fever at any part of the
day is sign to avoid fatlguing ever
else. The bowels must be kept in
proper condition.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

why Young Tree. Are ne.t,

These are the advantages of planting
young trees: They can be trained to
the desired form better than older
trees, says Farming. A 2 or 3-year-old
tree Is branched and has had its head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearling tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry, is usually unbranched.
Sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
ful enough about starting out the scaf-
fold limbs, and 1t Is difficult to cor
rect the form of the head after 1t has
been started There Is an unmistaks
able preference for low-headed trees,
due chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency In spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage of low-head-
Ing Is greater inconvenience in tillage.
This Is much more than offset by the
advantages, In the judgment Of most
growers Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
In the East has been reduced at least
two feet The bearing Of this on the
matter of yearling trees Is that the
grower can head yearling tree where
he pleases.

Cowpeas for Hogs.

Those living where they can success
fully grow the cowpea should utilize
this valuable crop as cheap ration
for pigs. The pea is rich in protein and
furnishes the needed growth, and does
away with the necessity of millstuff.
Drill three or four pecks of seed per
acre the latter part Of May or the first
part Of June, and give the needed cult
walton till the vines cover the ground
enough to check weed growth. Turn
the pigs into the field when the pods
begin to rlpen, and they will do the
harvesting. II the old hogs are pas
tured on peas, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to give proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs, Try a patch Of cow
pea pasture this year, and get your
hogs In fine shape for the corn when
1t comes

Making a Brooder at Home.

Here are the plans for brooder
that can be easily made by anyone +:
Make box 8 feet 4 inches by feet
8 inches and 2 feet high, using 2x2-
inch pieces for corner posts, and
matched boards for siding. Inside nail
strips around II inches from bottom
to support the floor, which should be
made Of matched lumber and left so
1t could be taken out and cleaned.
Make door In end level with floor, also
glass In upper half of each side for
light. Top made to slant both ways
and about half Of each side hinged on
80 as to make feeding and cleaning
easy. Place large piece of sheet iron
on underside Of floor with half-inch
strips between floor and iron. Cut door
in lower part of end place good metal
bowl lamp under sheet iron; bore sew
eral holes In floor over lamp, putting
tin can punched full Of holes over this
to keep out dirt. Place thermometer
on inside and you will have a brooder
which will give the best of satisfac-
tion.

Dried Beet and MoIasse. Pulp.


Brief notes are given on the produc-
tion Of two feeding stuffs and feeding
experiments with cows are reported
by the Wisconsin station. The ration
used for comparison consisted of five
pounds of hay, thlrty-five to forty
pounds of silage, and about eight
pounds Of grain mixture consisting
Of wheat bran, distillers' grains, and
cottonseed meal In the proportion of
2 2:21. Dried-beet pulp or molasses-
beet pulp was substituted for the
wheat bran in the ratio of 30 by
weight. Two tests were made. the first
including fifteen COWS and the second
six.
When wheat bran was replaced by
dried-beet pulp In the proportion indi-
Gated there was no appreciable differ
ence In the effect of the two rations.
Molasses-beet pulp substituted in the
same manner produced, however, about
II per cent more milk and per cent
more butter fat. Beet pulp showed a
tendency to decrease the fat content
of the milk. The results, therefore,
indicate that when wheat bran is val
ued at $18 ton, dried-beet pulp Is not
worth over $12 and molasses-beet pulp
over $13 q ton.

The blouse consists of the fronts

allowing a choice in the closing, as
it is so constructed that the opening
can be made at either back or front
as best liked. The fronts are extend

are attached to the full girdle and
the back portions of the waist are
Tapped over onto the front at the
