Former Dublin Man Is ParoIed
From California Peni-

CONVICTED OF A MURDER
CELL WHEN HE REFUSED TO
CEASE WORK ON HOME HE
WAS CONSTRUCTING.

J. Wes Moore, formerly of Dublin.
was recently paroled from San Quentin
prison in California where he had
been sent for murder In 1900. Moore
left Dublin several years ago and To-
Gated in California where he became
interested in gold mine. He opened
up claim but while away from home
for a short time his claim was jump
ed" The matter was carried through
the courts but satisfactory settlement
could not be reached and at length in
defending his rights Moore killed the
man who had robbed him of his pos
session. He was sent to prison for
life for his crime and his wife. suf-
fering greatly under the strain of
grief finally died.
Helped by Friends.
Friends at Dublin became interested
in his case and petitioned for his re-
lease. He was paroled and with the
assistance of Mrs. NJ. V. Newman. be-
agn to build a home in Oakland. Cal
This knowledge was conveyed to the
prison authorities who Immediately
ordered him to quit work and leave
town or return to prison. Rather than
abandon his project or to leave the
state. he said he would prefer to re-
turn to his cell. Prominent lawyers OF
Oakland then took up the matter and
offering their service gratis, exerted
their entire influence in the prisoners
behalf. Another parole was secured
for Moore by the friends who had in
terested themselves in his behalf and
his freedom was restored

Cultivate Sweet Potato.

Sweet potatoes should be grown in
every home garden unless the space is
very limited. Twenty to so feet of row
will give a nice treat for many meals,
and a larger space can often be devoted
to this crop. Sweet potatoes are at
their best on a rich, sandy loan, but
they can be grown on other kinds OF
soil nearly as well as on sand. The
requisites of a suitable soil are that
it be friable, well drained, and rich in
plant food. Sweet potatoes will not
grow we'll in a soil that is water
logged, or which is stiff, tenacious, or
badly run down, says the Agricul-
turist.,
Plants can usually be purchased at
80 to so cents per 100. Unless a person
expects to plant several hundred it is
not advisable to grow them.
AS soon as the plants r secured
they should be planted. A good way
to plant is to make holes with a
pointed stick, place the plants in the
holes and pack the soil firmly about
the roots. Be sure that no open
spaces are left at the bottom of the
holes. A spade may be used.

SUMNER CARE OF HORSES.

A great many horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders.
This can be remedied in a very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main part
of the harness and it should be of the
very best kind and fit the animals
neck perfectly.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught and
held on the moist and sweaty shout
ders and collar, there to form hard
Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar Is put on the
horse it should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any r found
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away.
Hot water is one of the best-known
natural agents for relieving
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure Of the animal body. Salt and
soda are healing and d~isinfecting
agents.
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with a mixture Of warm
water, salt and soda

PARAGRAPHS OF WISDOM.

No one ever heard of the time wheA
the best fruit would not sell at a fair
price somewhere within a days drive
of the grower.
The primary object Of cultivatine
crops is to keep the soil in good condi,
ton, but If it were not for the weeds
a lot Of farmers would neglect this i'm.
portant work. Sometimes our bless
ings come in disguise.
The sunrise farmer will scarcely
know hard times if they come, say,
ten years hence; but the never-get
busy-till-afternoon chap will be calami,
ty bowling about every day.
Keeping a COW because she is pretty
may be all right as far as 1t goes. but
it is not good business.
Farmers are the only producers who
allow the buyer to fix the price OF
their property. But they are rapidly
changing this state OF affairs by or.
g~anization.
An old mower run up and down the
sides Of the public road around the
farm will get away with the weeds.
Not your business? Perhaps not,
strictly; but the satisfaction Of . clean
highway will be yours.

Automatic Poultry Feeder.

An automatic poultry feeder to hold
charcoal, grit or anything which it is
desired to keep before the fowls all
the time may be made from a cigar
box and a quart milk bottle or other
bottle having an equally large mouth.
The box, which should be shallow,
has a single c~ross-piece reaching dag
from n corner to another,
with an opening to fit the mouth of
the bottle cut in the middle, about
half the depth of the cross-piece.
Stand the bottle over this and fasten
the bottle upright by a strong rubber
band passed around it and an upright
strip of wood, which is nailed to the
back of the box, and which is also
used to hang the feeder just high
enough so the fowls can reach to feed
from it, but cannot scratch dirt into it.
The box being shallow, the space be.
meath the bottom is proportionately
small, SO that as fast as the food is
picked out by the fowls more falls
down to take it's place, consequently
it is only necessary to see that the
bottle is kept full.
These devices for keeping feed or
other material always before fowls are
perhaps all right If they are not neg
lected and allowed to become clogged
or foul with dirt or dr%oppings. AL
ways replenish the supply every day
or two, as in this way n can be sure
that the boxes are clean-and cleanli-
ness is the most important thing in
poultry work.

Merry Moments

Buying a Spring Suit
Ry FRED c. KELLY.

Stokes dropped into a tailoring shop
to look over their new spring things.
The tailor began to throw the suit
1ngs owe his knee in his most engag-
ing manner, and Stokes, with a stogie
of Pennsylvania manufacture tilted
out of his mouth at a sassy angle,
looked on critically.
Whom thunder eve buys such
suits as that one?" inquired Stokes
amusedly, as he caught sight of a big
green plaid over an ice creamy col
ored effect.
"Oh, you'd be surprised at the num-
Der of that kind we SELL" replied the
tailor apologetically. you see, we've
got to have something for everybody's
taste. You, for instance, like the
palmer things. Mebby the next man
will want something striking. We can
take care of either one of you. Fact is,
though, that's a pretty swell suit
when o come right down to it."
Gee, I'd think a man would have to
choke down a whole lot of self-respect

TUBERCULOSIS TEST
INTERESTING TEST OF INFECTED
HOGS AND CATTLE.
Iowa Station Experiments with Tuber-
culin; All Animals Suspected Of
Being Diseased Should Be
Tagged Until Properly
Inspected.
BY BURTON ROGERS,
Kansas Experiment Station.

W
The Iowa experiment station at
Ames tested a herd of cattle for tuber-
culosis with tuberculin. Those react
ing, and thus considered tuberculous,
were placed in a separate lot, and
those not reacting, and therefore con-
| sidered as free from tuberculosis, were
placed in another pen.
Then rs healthy pigs were put in
| each pen with the cattle.
A few months later when the hogs
were mature they were sent to mar
ket for slaughter and carefully fol-
lowed to the government Inspector.
T~wenty-one of the hogs that had
associated with the %tuberculin react
ing cattle were found to be tubercu-
lous, while none of the others were
diseased.
Not only did the tuberculin, but SO
did the hogs test the cattle.
While a federal veterinary inspector
In 1904 the writer instituted an expert
ment in an Iowa packing house, and
| which has been continued since
namely, of tagging all the hogs bought
direct from the farmers.
Recently the state veterinarian or
| dered the cattle to be tested on Is of
the farms from which tuberculous
hogs came, and in every instance tu-
berculin reacting tuberculous cattle
We're found.
Again the tuberculin and the tuber-
| culous hogs paralleled in testing the
| cattle.
We are short-sighted, indeed, if we
| do not realize that the simplification
of this perplexing problem, in the west
at least, is to require that all animals
entering the channels of trade for a
limited time be tagged with tags that
| will remain until the animals have
been inspected.
These are the farms that need i'm
mediate attention; the vast majority
of the others do not. 1t is the quick,
est way to bring many unsuspecting
farmers face to face with the fact that
| they need to do something.
For tuberculous cattle mean tuber-
culous calves, tuberculous hogs, tuber'
| culous chickens, and last, but not
least, ~tuberculous babies and tubercu'
lous people.

I came here eight years ago as the
ostensible renter of this farm. l now,
alas, own it. This came about through
the thickness of the former owner,
who showed me the lease and, at the
last moment, substituted a deed for
it.. Next day when l discovered the
swindle l hunted the owner, but he
had gone. Yet by borrowing a little
each year and writing magazine arti-
cles on agriculture (of which am suf-
ficiently ignorant to do so) | have

My leaving the city is largely, l still

His ideas of work did not in any de-

He held an old-fashioned notion that
an employee should arrive at work
about beginning time, work steadily
through till luncheon, then return and
work till closing time. He even held
to the extreme and absurd theory that
when business was rushing the en-
| ployes should exert themselves to ac-
complish more work in a given time
than they ordinarily produced.
At length, M morning when l had
grown especially sick of the hurry
all about me and was filled with a
vague uneasiness lest l might catch
