A Raea J~udurnant.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
A celebrated, cas- has just been brought
to an end by the supreme court of the
state Of Illinois, which has finally deter
mined the status of colored children in the
schools of Alton. Notwithstanding the
fact that the law insures colored children
the same school privileges which are en-
joyed by the children of white parents,
tho city OF Alton 20 years ago attempted
to provide separate schools for colored
pupils. A colored man took up the cudgel
for his race, employing the late Senator
John M. Palmer, and the senator fought
for the entry Of the colored children into
the regular schools to the time of his
death. The struggle was continued by 9TH
er counsel, and seven consecutive juries
refused to enforce the law against separa-
ton. The supreme court in each instance
determinedly sent the case back to the
lower court, with instructions that the
law be -nforced. These Instructions were
persistently ignored, Inc the court was
forced to take a new tack. Last Thurs
day It severely criticised the juries which
disregarded the law, declared that the AL
ton authorities are not entitled to trial by
jury, and gave Judgment in favor of the
negroes. The outcome will be regarded
with interest throughout the United
States.

WHAT SCIENCE IN
" FARMING MEANS
Discoveries of the Scientists
Fast Revolutionizing the
Agricultural Calling.

From the American Review of Reviews
for May.
Scientific, agriculture is young. IT has
had to wait until machinery prepared the
way, by giving the farmers time to think
and money to spend. The first scientist
who took notice Of farming was the
Frenchman Lavoisier. He found out the
composition of water. In 1888, and was
In the midst OF many discoveries, when
a Paris nobsh hustled him to the. guilIotine
The famous Liebig next appeared and
founded the first agricultural experiment
station. Then came Berthelot, the father
of synthetic chemistry, with his sensa-
tional announcement, 1.-THE soil is alive
Today the new farmer fnds himself
touched by science on all sides. He knows
that there are more living things In one
pinch of rich soil than there are people
on the whole globe. He knows that he
can take q half dozen handouts of earth
from different parts Of his farm, mix
them together, send one thimbleful to a
chemist, and find out exactly the kind of
crop that will give hin the best harvest.
And more, now that Silence has given him
q peep into natures factory, he can even
feel q sense of kinship between himself
and his acres, because he knows that the
same elements that redden his blood are
painting the green hues on his fields and
forests.
There are now 5000 new farmers who
have graduated from agricultural colleges
and since the late Professor w. o. At
water opened the first American expert
ment station In 1875, so others have sprung
into vigorous life. There is also at Wash
ington an agricultural department, which
become the greatest aggregation of
farm scientists in the world. To main
tain this department Uncle Sam pays
grudgingly 81. 100000 a year. He pays

Wallace Farmer: Farmers who have
any considerable number Of swine
should not forget in the rush of work
at this season OF the year to prepare an
abundant supply of corncob charcoal.
1t is one Of the easiest Jobs on the
farm. Some farmers simply rake to-
gether the dry corncobs In the yard,
and, taking advantage OF a calm day,
char them, and then when the charring
is complete scatter them, put out the
fire and let the hogs eat them at will.
They are so greedy for them that they
will scarcely wait until the fire is out
but will eat them at the risk Of burn
ing their mouths. .,
A better way is simply to dig a round
hole, say three feet across and three
feet deep, build o Tgood fire with wood
in the bottom OF this, fill In with corn
cobs, and when they are properly
charred through but not burned to
ashes, put IN q lid Of some kind to ex-
clude the air. Then add any wood
ashes that may be convenient, and salt.
When the mass Is cool put 1t In a box
with q self-feed, where the hogs can
reach 1t. and let them eat what they
want. F .. $. All
You will be surprised at the amount
of this charcoal the hogs will eat. 1t
Is not necessary to go into details as
to why they are fond Of 1t or the eff
feet 1t has on the system. Whether In
man or beast, the natural appetite is a
fairly good guide as to the real needs
Of the system. That hogs fed on corn
need something Of this character Is
evident from the ravenous appetite
they have for slack coal.
Give the hogs all the cob charcoal
they want. There is no loss Of fertil-
ity, for the cornsob is mainly carbon
and potash. The carbon comes from
the air and the potash remains In the
soil, whether II is burned or hauled out
as manure. Therefore, there is nc loss
through making corncob charcoal.
