EXPLAINS CASE

EDITOR STAR: If you will permit
word in reply about the decision of the
higher court in the leper habeas cor
pus cases, and your comment there
on dealing rather adversely with the
action of the writer as the physician
concerned, he would be glad to make a
correction. The cases were promoted
not to free the appellants from arrest
as lepers but to secure the continuance
Of the treatment they were then I'M
dergoing. In his differences with the
other examiners the writer has merely
refused to certify to the possibility of
the leper conveying the disease and not
to the presence of leprosy. If this has
led to the blocking of the rather easy
process of securing the custody of the
patient it has not been the writer's
fault so much as those who framed the
printed form that forced this opinion
from the examiner.

Notes of the Hog Lot.

Reports from southwest Missouri say
that hogs are fattening on the II year
locusts which are very abundant in
that section this year. The woods are
full of them and the hogs seem to like
them.
If your pigs are running on clover
pasture n you are feeding grain give
1t to them at night.
Lice are easy to raise with hogs, but
they are not profitable.
After the pigs come feed the SOW
oil h can eat of nutritious rations.
A fair moun of corn will not hurt
her then.
1t Is more than probable that there
will be a great deal OF soft corr this
fall, particularly IN the northern corn
belt, and hog raisers may have a hard
time getting through the winter.
The best shade is a shed on eleva-
ton over which the wind can sweep
without obstruction. Dusty holes In
fence corners or In sitting u~nderbrush
are not desirable.

to the fact that corn has been so high dur

WEIGHT OF A
writes

An Illinois correspondent writes
Wallace's Farmer:
will you please give me the num-
Der OF cubic feet in a ton of silage? ]
have sold some and we cannot agree on
the cubic feet in a ton"
The weight Of silage depends on q
number of different conditions. For
example, the depth of the silo, the
diameter, the condition of h corn
when put into the silo, etc. Professor
King in his book on THE Physics Of
Agriculture" gives a table showing the
computed weight of well matured corn
silage at different distances below the
surface and the computed feed weight
for silos at different depths two days
after filing. In the case of a silo 10
feet deep is given rs 83.1 pounds per
cubic foot, and he average weight for
all the. silage in the silo down to 10
feet 26.1 pounds per cubic foot. For
a silo Is feet deep the weight Of the
silage at the fifteenth foot Is 40 pounds
per cubic foot, while the average
weight OF all of the 15 feet Of silage Is
1913 pounds per cubic foot. For 20 feet
deep the weight of the silage at 20 feet
age weight Of all the silage In the 20
feet Is 1873 pounds per cubic foot. Az
80 feet the weight of the silage at that
depth is 56.4 pounds per cubic foot
while the weight Of all the silage In tho
silo of that depth is 1915 pounds per
cubic foot.
A silo 20 feet deep and 10 feet in
diameter will hold 1884 tons. A silo
so feet deep and Is feet in diameter
ent can find enough information to en-
able him to figure out the weight
which should be allowed in his own
particular case.

The Character Of Labor Has Impro

From the New York Times.
A peculiar and unexpected, though east
ly comprehensive, result Of the hard
times" and business depression" Is re-
ported I'm the shape Of q marked advance
In the efficiency of the men who are still
employed. Now that jobs are COMPARE
lively hard to get, the man who has one
does his best, or at least his much bet
ter. TO convince his employer that he Ia
worth keeping, and his output Of labor
and amount of production have both
notably increased over what they were in
the days when discharge vas something
not at all to be feared and soldering
was as safe as Ii was pleasant-pleasant
to all except the man who paid the wages,
that Is. -.....
Roughly stated by one observer, the
member of q big contracting firm, 90 men
now do as much as 100 did formerly, with
a CORRESPONDING reduction In the cost of
the work done. This, in many cases, has
changed what had seemed to be a losing
contract into a profitable one, and has
made possible the continuance of opera
tons that otherwise would have had to
stop. g
Looking deeper into the matter, one gets
some new light On the petty reasons so
often given in the past as justification of
the worker who did not exert himself to
his fullest capacity. This, It was said,
was for altruistic reasons--in order that
there might be work enough to go round
and none should be left without employ
ment. Apparently an even stronger argu-
ment along these lines could now be made,
but, IL the facts are as stated, the inclina-
ton to make II has departed and In its
! place has come what, according to old
fashioned people, Is the old-fashioned hab-
Il OF finding the highest self-interest In
consideration OF the employers interest.
