CHILDREN SOLD
AS FARM SLAVES.
Parents Take Them to German
Labor Market, Where They Are
Inspected Like Cattle.

The Friedrichshafen Germany
correspondent Of the New York
World writes:
The child-labor market was held
to-day-an institution a century old
which local newspapers declare ID
only a youthful slave mart thinly
cloaked, and which, nowadays,
arouses intense indignation in the
frontier provinces of Austria, Switzer-
land and Germany.
AS usual each year their parents
brought here, from their homes in the
outlying districts of the Tyrol, about
$50 girls and boys, from eleven to
fourteen years old, and sold their SER
vices to farmers for seven months,
from April to October 2S. Ninety
nine out of every hundred of the
children are thrust into this bondage
by their parents avarice. The
farmers pay for girls services for
the seven months about $3.50. For
strong boys work the princely sum
Of $40.
The children were ranged early
this morning in the market place, and
all day long crowd of farmers in
spected them as If they were SO many
pigs or cattle, felt the muscles Of
their arms, poked them in the ribs
to learn If they were fat or lean,
meantime loudly discussing their
merits or condemning their physical
faults.
Some of the children had been sold
last year or the year before; they
had exchanged condolences; they
shrank from the farmers who had
been cruel to them, and stealthlly
tried to warn their younger COM
panions Of the fate that awaits them.
BY dusk contracts had been signed
for every unfortunate here. The
fathers of some were tipsy by night
fall and cursing their luck that this
girl or that boy is not larger and
more muscular so that more money
would have been paid for them.
Tonight the child-slaves, with
their new masters, are hurrying ~
the farms.
The terms of the contracts are
harsh, providing that the children,
regardless of sex, may work at "cattle
herding, housework, stable and stall
clearing, nursing children, feeding
cattle, running errands and what
ever else the master may require
them to do"
Good treatment" is included in the
condition, but, according to a local
newspaper which has conducted an
inquiry, this clause is more often
broken than observed, and many chill
dren return home crippled or wrecked
in health by their masters brutality.
Next October 2S, which is called
packing Day." the little workers re-
turn here afoot and assemble at the
Children's Society's headquarters,
whence they are sent to their homes,
there to await another seven months
bondage.

determination of Mosquitoes.

Consul William Henry Bishop, of
Palermo, Italy, transmits the follow
ing information relative to expert
ments made by the chief of the sani-
tary service at Gaboon, French
Africa, with the cactus as substi-
tute for petroleum for the extermina-
tion of mosquitoes in warm climates.
The thick, pulpy leaves of the cac-
tus, cut up in pieces, are thrown into
water and macerated until a sticky
paste is formed. This paste is
spread upon the surface of stagnant
water, and forms an isolating layer
which prevents the larvae of the mos
quitoes from coming to the top to
breathe and destroys them through
asphyxiation. 1t is true that petro-
leum can do the same service, but in
warm climates petroleum evaporates
too quickly and is thus of little avail.
The mucilaginous cactus paste, on
the contrary, can hold its place in
definitely, lasting weeks, months, or
even an entire year; and the period
of development of the larvae being
but about fortnight, it has the
most thorough effect.-Scientific

Then, as If they had packed sudden

ran out into full view ON the track
about one hundred feet behind the
sleigh.
Simeon quickened the pace. Alexis
flung out burning clumps of loose
straw. Before reaching the first of
these, the wolves sprang away on
both sides, with furious yowling.
They vanished in the bushes, still
yelling, and .reappeared fifty yards
in front of the team.
Perhaps they would have rushed
in, but Alexis Immediately got down,
straw torch in hand, and went in
front of the horses. The wolves
stood hesitating, apd again silent.
To sacrifice the horses was no
more in the minds of the young
Doukhobors than sacrificing his
children is in the mind of an ordi-
nary American father. 1t was pretty
clear that the horses could not escape
unless freed from the sleigh. They
stood trembling, but although in

rolled off, and yelled more wildly as
the sharp points pierced his sides and
back. But he had escaped the rack.
A moment later the other got free
also.
Drops of blood fell on the face of
Alexis. Wiping them off he spoke
remorsefully: Poor creatures-they
were torn!"
ut was the will of God," observed
Simeon.
There were more snifings, claw
ings, yells of disappointment round
the sleigh. Then the pack seemed to
draw off for conference.
IAN elders meeting!" chuckled
Simeon.
ut is wrong to laugh at dumb ami
mails" said Alexis, but he could not
help smiling little.
The pair felt safe now. They did
not know Canadian timber wolves.
A stunning chorus suddenly arose.
Then there was a rushing sound and
|
moment and the whole crisscross top
seemed to be falling down under a
weight of scrambling bodies and tear
ing legs.
Some of the wire side loops slipped
and then really became tight. The
wirework bent down SO far that claws,
struggling to escape, came scratching
on the boys bodies. But the barbs
we're doing their iron duty. Just as
, it seemed that the top would cave in
the whole gang got off, frantic and
bewildered.
II wish the brethren would hur-
ry," said Alexis, anxiously. THE
wolves may try it again"

brother. The cover is good yet. But

death. But we shall not be guilty"
Il am not sure about that. We
might have stayed at home"
No, no, brother. The fencing is
needed. Think of those wolves get
ting at our dear little prairie chick
ens!"
Again the wolves came pressing
about the box, smelling, yelling and
seeming to criticise one another an
grily. Then in an instant they went
scurrying away. A loud shouting of
men came nigh. The brethren of
Paravgrad, knowing that wolves
would not attack large company in
daylight, had started on the road as
soon as they opened the wire gate for
the Vianovitch horses.
Before night had long fallen the
barbed fence about Paravgrad was
seven feet high. In the Saskatche-

stead Of stepping in after Alexis, he
went about the ring of straw, kicking
the under part to the srface, so that
all blazed more fiercely than before.
Simeon took two more turns at
crisscross work. Then he got in
where Alexis lay working. passing
strands underneath the top, from cor
ner to corner, using wire from the
reel that had been left in the box.
Both pairs of hands hurried in this
work and in closing the gap.
Meanwhile the wolves ragged in be-
wilderment. What had become OF
those boys? The human scent could
not pass the smoke circle.
Poor things!" smiled Alexis.
'They think they've lost their din
ner."
II can't pity them much. They're
flesh eaters" said Simeon.
The day was bitterly cold, twenty
eight degrees below zero. But the
boys were clad in sheepskin coats,
and two pairs of thick woolen stock
ings with felt boots outside. Also
they had five heavy wooden bedquilts.
AS they no longer saw smoke drift
ing they know the wolves would soon
come within the straw circle. When
the leader jumped in his howl sound
ed like boast. Then the whole COM
pany Joined him. The boys heard
nosings, sniffings, clawings, snortings
about the sleigh. Perhaps the wolves
feared trap. Or perhaps the barbs
along the top and sides kept them
down. At any rate, 1t seemed quite
a while before Alexis, looking up,
saw a mouthful of white fangs, and
two fierce eyes glaring down on him.
The leader! AS he saw the boys, he
yelled, and sprang up on the criss-
cross.
The next moment a rival Joined
him, just as the paws and long legs
of the leader came through the barb
ed netting. He sprawled. AS the
barbs tore his legs and under body he
screamed with anguish and fear. The
second wolf tried to get away, but
down came his legs, too. Pandemo-
mum broke loose on the crisscross.
That pair fought one another with
teeth. Then one got his scrambling

Simeon got down, also with straw
torch. They stripped the horses, ex-
cept Of the collars. Then they led
them straight to the wolves.
Again the brutes sprang away on
both sides. Instantly the boys
slapped their horses, shouted at them,
and stood watching. 1t never oc-
Cured to them to ride away on the
team. Doukhobors seldom learn to
straddle horses; they think that
would be to impose on them. And
the Vianovitch boys would have con-
sidered it very wicked, anyway, to
burden their dumb friends, and SO
lessen their chances of safety.
When the horses started galloping,
about half the wolves were racing
towards the sleigh, the others watch
ing the boys. But all ran after the
horses, bowling in full cry.
Simeon and Alexis ran back to the
sleigh. Knowing Just what they
meant to do, there was little talk be-
tween them.
"They will be back in ten or fif-
teen minutes" said Simeon.
"You mean If they don't catch the
horses?"
mo .ear of that. Our men will
see the horses coming. They will
hurry out to save them. Then the
wolves will turn back to us"
The boys spread their loose straw
in wide circle about the sleigh.
They kept four torch ropes burning
while they pitched out every reel
of the barbed wire except one.
Then they loosened the ends of
two coils. They wove the wire all
round the top of the sleigh-box,
turning it twice around each of the
six side stakes. Next they tied down
the top strands by strands passing
down and up again, holding the hor-
! izontal wires in connection with the
uprights of the runners.
Then they hurried to weave the
barbed wire crisscross over the box,
securing it to the upper and end
strands, not by passing it continuous
ly under and over and back and forth,
but by tying 1t on the top or round
the-box strands. The barbs assisted
well to hold the stiff, loose loops in
place.
Before the Job was done back came
the wolves, furious. Both boys
stopped work. They went about the
straw circle, firing it with their
torches. When it blazed well they
returned to the crisscross.
A few moments later the wolves
were ranged at a respectful distance
round the blaze, yelping and bowling
madly in their daunted rage. So long
as the straw circle might hold out tc
burn, the boys knew they could work
securely.

Let us be content with what we have.
Let get rid of false estimates, set up all the
higher ideals-a quiet home; vines of planting;
few books full of the inspiration of genius a few
friends worthy of being loved and able to love in
turn; hundred innocent pleasures that bring pain
remorse devotion to the right that will never
swerve; simple religion empty of all bigory, full of
trust and hope and love.
To such philosophy this world will give up all the
empty JOY it has.

He must understand the different

pounds which should be administered
to each plant at the proper time. II
he makes the poison too strong he
will kill the foliage as well as the
blight germs and the insects. If he
applies them at the wrong time he
will kill the fruit blossoms and the
pollen-bearing bees and birds. If he
does not apply them at all he will
have no crop.
The currant crop is cut down this
year by currant bugs and the scale
anthracope is killing the Dlackberries.
Club.root is affecting the cabbage.
Yellow-stripe bugs are biting the Gu
cumber vines. Potatoes, besides the
Colorado beetles, have developed
blight and scab. Fruit trees by the
thousand have been killed by the
scale, moths and other insects. Chest
nut trees, which have hitherto bean
immune, have now a fatal prasite OF
their own. Strawberry patches have
been spoiled by the cutworm. A
variation of the squash bug attacks
egg plants. Ants have developed a
liking for radishes, and so on to the
end of bugdom, which contains mil
lion or more species-even in this
climate.
In this section there are few crops
not affected by insects. Grass and
corn are freer than any others; but
most of them are subject to destruc-
ton. So the farmer, truck gardner,

other lines of business.

Agricultural Education.

Now when our agricultural colleges
in every state are busy and the hun
dreds of boys who are to become the
farm leaders of the future are getting
down TO their studies, the following
thoughts on the need of agricultural
education, voiced by Professor H. j.
Waters of Missouri, may be opportune:
"The farmer of tomorrow must face
more serious responsibilities than the
farmer of yesterday" says DR.. Waters.
Farming becomes more complex and
difficult as our country develops. the
public domain has been exhausted.
The agricultural area must from this
on be subdivided to support the ever
increasing number to be provided
with the opportunity to earn a liveli-
hood. New and difficult problems are
constantly presenting themselves and
must be solved before success is pos
sible. New crops; new demands OF
the market; new pests Of insects and
weed; new diseases of plants and ami
NAL; new conditions of soil and crop
ping all demand an intelligent and
scientific treatment. However success
full, therefore, the farmer of yesterday
may have been without the benefits of
scientific knowledge, it is certain that
the farmer Of tomorrow will not find
the practical experience Of past gem
erations adequate to meet the new and
changed conditions under which he
must labor
"The present day collegiate course
in agriculture fulfills all of the reason
able requirements of a liberal educa-
ton, disciplining the mind quite as
web as the classics at the same time
that it furnishes information Of incal-
culable value to the farmer in conduct
ing all his business. 1t is not all Of
success, however, to make money. The
educated man lives better, gets more
out Of life, and is a better and safer
citizen"
