conviction of the crime. According to
his story, as outlined in his application
for pardon, he was attacked by Hiro,
who was armed with a razor, and il
was only in self defense that he
stabbed his assailant with a knife.
On February 16, 1908, Snow Taylor,
alias Tom Taylor, was committed to
the penitentiary for ten years after
conviction of burglary in the first de.
gree. He, too, wants a pardon, and it
is understood that the board of prison
inspectors IS in favor of his being re.
leased.

term with Warden Henry for an un.

hand pollination is caused by the pecu
liar shape, structure and nature of the
flower Even after the flower Is open
the pollen-bearing stamens and the
stigma on which the pollen must fall
are rolled up tightly in the keel or
lower petal of the flower. Now, in
order to set seed, it has been shown
that these organs must be released
from the keel and the stigma some
what irritated. Insects accomplish
this by alighting on the keel in their
search for nectar in the flower. The
weight Of the insects body bursts the
keel and allows the pollen to be,
thrown out. At the same time the stig-
ma on being released springs upward,
striking the lower part of the insect,
and receives upon its now irritated
and receptive surface pollen which
has previously busted on the insects
body. Now, this same thing can be(
done artificially by pressing upon the
keel with toothpick, the point of a.
dull knife, or other suitable instru-
ment. BY this method the number of
flowers pollinated may be counted and
recorded and the seeding ability of a
plant determined, but where a large
amount of seed is wanted and it is,
necessary to hand-pollinate several
hundred plants tbs method is too slow:
still, after a little practice, one person
can pollinate 10000 flowers day
However, where it is desired to pol:
Innate many flowers rapidly, without
reference to the exact number con.
cerned, another and more rapid meth
cd may be followed. A fower-cluster
when in full bloom, is taken between
the thumb and the first and second
fingers, and subjected to light pres
sure, while at the same time it is
slightly rolled. By this operation the
keels OF all the flowers which are in
the proper stage will be made to burst
setting free the stamens and pistis(
and covering the stigmas with pollen.

After careful study of the charac-
teys of many individual plants, certain
ones will be selected as worthy of flu
ture tests and further propagation.
Three lines of procedure are offered:
1. The selected plants may be al
lowed to seed in the open and these
seed be harvested and planted in test
rows, subsequent selections being
made from each test-row This method
has been fully described by Wheeler
and BALI, in Bulletin 101, South Dako-
ia, as follows:
I'm the breeding of alfalfas the seed
from various sources is sown in selec-
ton rows, each row representing a
single source of South Dakota Access
sion number. The rows are three feet
apart and each plant occupies one foot
of row. One hundred or more plants
are grown in each row. From the Sc
lection rows the best appearing indi-
viduals from the best original sources
are selected and marked by numbered
stakes. The seed from these plants is
saved separately and sown the next
season in centgener or pedigree rows.
The plants in these rows are grown
the same as in the selection rows. The
difference between the selection and
pedigree rows is simply in the source

The Policeman Dumped the Corpse
Out

Osity was especially keen. He looked
downethe bamboo pipe. but could see
nothing.
Then he began to dig around the
pipe. He had a considerable wrench
put on his nerves when a voice came
out of the end of the pipe right at his
ear:
"Honorably condescend to go away
and permit me to die peacefully"
But the policeman did not go. He
dug some more and finally unearthed
pine box, the length of mans body,
and about three feet wide. The bam-
boo pipe led through an opening into
The box The policeman pried off the
cover of the box securely nailed down.
and dumped the self-appointed corpse
out.
Yamada Katsutaro, the man who
would thus have died, told the project
of police that he had wanted to die
IN a seemly fashion because he was
out of work. The lack of food had sug-
gested to him the practicability Of
starving himself to death, but In order
to be sure that he should accomplish
this purpose he had determined to
bury himself in a securely nailed cof-
in and await the ravages of hunger.
He didn't want to 3uffocate first, hence
the bamboo pipe.
The day before the policeman dis
covered him, Yamada said. he pro-
cured the box and the services of a
coolie. Then he dug the hole out
On Egeyama and after giving the
coolie his obi and so sen, his last bit
Of money, he was nailed up in his

let him go.
