AtrOCi0us Murder by a Privileged
Criminal.

A frightful story of the muir
der of respectable white woman
by a negro prison trusty comes
from Oxford, Miss, and is prin-
ted this morning.
A prison trusty is a criminal
who has been duly convicted by
the courts and is sent to jail or
penitentiaryito serve out his SEN
tence. AS soon as he gets to the
prison he somehow secures the
favor of the prison authorities
and is set free to come and go at
his own pleasure, to carry mes
sages, run errands and perform
other functions outside of the
prison.
There is probably not a peni-
tertiary in the Gulf States that
is free from this pernicious trus-
ty system, and scarcely a city
jail where it is not practiced.
These trustees commits all sorts
of crimes when they are enjoying
the freedom of the city or coun-
try, and these crimes are often
concealed, as if exposed they
would bring trouble upon the
prison officials who take it upon
themselves to annul and set aside
the judgments of courts.
In the present case, a negro
trusty perpetrated most fiend-
ish crime upon a respectable
white woman to whom he car
ried a message, and he sought
also to kill the woman's young
daughter, who, however, saved
herself by flight. The murderer
was pursued by the officers,
whose pistol bullets were harm
less, and he would doubtless have
made good his escape but for the
fact that some boys were out
hunting birds knew how to shoot
and captured him, after dosing
the fend with birdshot. The
story told to the Picayune this
morning is disgraceful in the ex-
IRENE.
The Picayune has repeatedly
attacked the trusty system, which
is one of the curses inherited
from the times when the South
was ruled by negroes and Radi-
Gals. There is something in the
practice that is so attractive to
the prison authorities that, al
though it is an outrageous viola
ton of the power and rights and
dignity of the courts, it cannot
be stopped, but is carried on here
and in other Southern States.
The fend was seized by the en-
ragged populace and quickly done
to death, thus proving that how
ever a prison trusty may be proof
agrinst judicial punishment, he
can at least receive his deserts
from the hands of a mob.
The above excellent editorial,
from the New Orleans Picayune.
The system of TRUSTEES is wrong
whether in county jails or on
state farms and should be done
away with. The only excuse for
it, is that 1t is cheaper to use
trusty convicts than to employ
reliable white men. Possibly so,
in dollars and cents, but any pro-
fit derived from a wrong source
will carry a curse with it, as does
all tainted money

IT PAYS TO
RAISE COLTS

It is strange that more farmers do
not appreciate the advantage of colt
raising. If managed right it need in
terfere little with the regular work
of the farm. The farmer who has one
or more mares is making a great mis-
take if he does not raise colt or two.
It is often possible to so arrange the
time of foaling as to not materially
interfere with the mares work, or,
if there are a number of mares, so
there will be some fit for work at all
times. The fact that mare is with
foal need not debar her from work; in
fact, reasonable work is good for her.
OF course, she should be treated kind
ly and not be worked to excess. Draft
or coach stations are the best sires
for the farmer to use. Trotting and
saddle horses require more care and
training before they can be marketed

Fig. 2.

The silo is winning its way on to
the farms Of the country because it is
proving to be an indispensable equip
ment for winter feeding of stock, es-
pecially cows in milk.
The most conclusive proof that the
silo is all it claims to be is that in
every community where it goes it rap
idly wins its way to universal favor.
On this point one farmer writes: Give
years ago I was one of a half dozen
farmers in this neighborhood who
built silos. Now there are as many
put up each year, which I consider
good evidence that the silo is practical
and has come to stay"
To illustrate it's practical points,
this enthusiast goes on to tell of his
methods: On our farm we have a silo
IL by 20 feet. and foundation extend
ing into the ground two feet, making
It % feet deep. For the best results,
I think IL by "a feet is the best size,
then IL wanted more feed than silo
Of this size would hold, I would build
another.
1--WE fill our silo when the corn is
we'll denied or just before it is ripe
enough to make fodder. We have four
men in the field, two to cut the corn
and pile it in punches and the other
two to load the corn and fodder to the
wagons. 1t usually takes three wag-
ons, owing Of course to the distance
from the silo. We have our own cut
ting box and horse power and cut the
silage very short, about one-half inch.
1t packs better when short and this
makes it keep better. In filling the
s1lO 1t takes one man in the silo to
keep it level and mixed, as the blow
ers separate the corn from the fodder"
Still another farmer in writing to
the Northwestern Agriculturist de-
clares unhesitatinglythat he has found
silage to be the best and cheapest sue
culent feed he can produce. For the
dairy herd it is difficult to find it's
equal. A few years ago I found it
necessary to transfer my cows to a
barn away from the silo while making
some changes in the fixtures of the
basement of the barn where the COWS
are regularly kept. During this time
the COWS received no silage, but were
fed on some extra fine clover hay, etc.
On this change of feed the decrease in
milk was one-third, but as soon as
changed them back to the ensilage
they soon regained in the milk.
GAS feed for breeding ewes and
for fattening lambs there is nothing
better. For 80 years l have made a

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis
