have often been asked how it is if can trust
youthful burglar to 60 alone to a reformatory why
cannot trust him to go alone to work?
The answer is that the individual is weak rather
than vicious he is strong enough to last over night
but not strong enough to last a month. He goes to
the institution. He learns the trade of carpenter
or stonecutter-then he has some incentive in life.
He gets out of the habit of being bad. When he
comes out he is proud of his job, and as soon as we
get him work he wants to show how well he can do 1t
the past is behind him forever.
This new children's crusade started in 1900. We

One of the difficulties in poultry
raising is to get the hens to molt ear
ly, so that they will be ready to lay
in the fall and winter, when eggs are
high. Left to themselves, hens will
take long time to molt, and will not
finish until cold weather sets in They
will not then lay until early spring
and an the profits for the winter
months are lost At the poultry in
stitute held in Denver by the Colcra-
do Agricultural College, w. j. R. Will
son, poultry man of long experience.
gave his method of controlling the
molting of hens. As soon as the hens
are through laying he turns them on al
falfa, feeding them dry bran only, in
addition. Under this treatment they
get thin. Then he feeds them mixed
ration of grains and meat, giving a
light feed in the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night. Under
this treatment they finish melting
quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. By October
they are in full laying condition and
make profit through the fall and
winter

If the hens don't lay, turn them out
and let them dig and hunt in the
ground for food, Is the advice of T. f.
McGrew, in the Country Gentleman.
Bury small grain where they will find
it when they dig. This will induce
them to hunt, and while thus employ
ed they will find bugs and worms that
will quicken the production of eggs 1t
is well TO follow this plan as soon as
the spade will turn the ground, for II
adds vigor and strength to the hens
and insures strong, healthy chicks. The
lazy, idle hen is of no use but to sit
about, eat and grow fat. If she will
not work, she will not lay. If she will
not lay, her life should end, and her
fat carcass grace the table. You can
rest assured that the indolent hen is
nonproducer; soon she becomes too
fat to lay and too tough to be eaten.

Prof Munyon says 1t is only a ques-

This seems almost too good to be true,
but nothing seems to be impossible in
these days when we consider the fly

Prof Munyon has certainly revolu-
tionized the practice of medicine. He
does not believe in building hospitals

have been most astonishing. These lit

Successful dairy farming depends a
great deal on growing the necessary
feed on the farm. City milkmen can
buy high-priced feeds and make a
profit, but farmers who ship longer
distances require all the advantage
they can get. Alfalfa is getting to be
one of the most important dairy feeds.
1t can be grown in almost any part of
the country where there is sufficient
moisture within reach of the long tap
root, provided that there is no rock
to interfere with its growth. If you
never tried alfalfa, commence now by
fitting small piece of ground very
carefully and make it very rich on
top. The new plants are delicate and
require careful feeding until they get
started. Most failures are caused by
insufficient preparation of the seed bed

LONGEST TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT.
It Is 1000 Miles Long, Extending from
London to Teheran, in Persia.

Persia and its capital, Teheran, have
been very much before the public lately,
but probably few people are aware that
the news which has come through to
London has passed over the longest tele-
phone circuit in the world.
The distance between London and Te-
heran by wire is 1000 miles and the op-
orator in Teheran communicates direct
with the operator at the London end,
automatic repeaters taking the place OF
operators at ten places along the circuit.
The first repeating station from Lon
don is at Lowestoft, where the wires
enter the North sea, beneath which they
run for 200 miles to Emden, Hanover,
where the second automatic repeater con-
tinues the message.
Thence it is flashed to Berlin, War
saw, Rouno, Odessa, Kertch, Sukhum,
Kalev, Tifis and Tauris, from each of
which stations it is instantaneously for
warded without human Intervention, the
telegraphist at Teheran. who receives
the message from Tauris, being the first
operator to handle it since it left Lon
don. From Teheran the line then extends
to India, but nowhere else is there a
circuit so long as that between Teheran
and London.-L0ndon Daily News.
