WOMAN PLEADS FOR MERCY
Nine. Steinheil Creates Scene During
Taking of Testimony.
SAYS REPORTERS TORTURE HER
Defendant in Paris Murder Trial De-
cIares Her Wrists Were Twisted
to Make Her Confess
to Crime.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-"Have pity on me; en-
an unhappy woman who should not lie
tortured" cried out Nine Steinheil on The
resumption OF her trial here today for the
murder of her husband and step-mother.
The appeal came during the testimony Of
the jewelers. with reference TO the changes
of jewelry conflded to them by the pris-
oner, but which she originally claimed had
been stolen by the assassins. The prose-
cutting judge responded that accused per-
sons always repeated that cry when EN-
barrassed for an answer.
Nine. Steinheil admitted anew that she
had had certain Jewels, the gifts of her
admirers, melted, but she maintained
that this was done to keep the facts of
her life from the knowledge OF her daugh-
ter.
From this point Nine. steinheil assumed
an aggressive attitude, which continued
during the examination of several wit
nesses and resulted in a series Of lively
tilts between her and Judge De Wales.
When reproached for having concealed
so long from the authorities the fact that
she possessed imitation duplicates Of her
jewels the woman defended her secrecy
on the ground that she wished to hide from
the family.

Early ~VeEetables.

Inc rlSQl time 10 SOW seeds In the
hotbed depends largely on the loca-
ton. the kind OF plants aud the way
in which the plants are to be handled.
Sowing the seed too early Is very apt
to cause a loss.
A successful tomato grower says he
economies hot-bed space and labor
by growing his early plants, ready for
the field, right where the seed is
sown, 500 plants to the sash. He ISL
ally sows his seed about the middle
Of March, and the plants set in the
field from the list to the 10th of May,
and about the 10th Of July the first
fruits are sent into market. selling at
from 10 to IS cents per berry basket,
retail or from $3.50 to 81 per bushel
crate, wholesale.
He sows the seed IN drills eight
inches apart, or five rows to the sash,
using q liberal amount of seed. When
well started the plants are thinned to
about 100 per row. The bed is care
fully ventilated without severe drafts
during the day. and at night covered
with straw mats.
For the first three or -four weeks
the growth is very rapid; as the
weather becomes milder the plants
are more and more exposed to the
open air, and as the time for trans
planting draws near water is with
held, so that on sunny afternoons the
plants have quite a wilted look. But
the result is a fine lot of plants. meas
uring from eight inches to a foot in
height. with hard. woody stems, bios
som buds showing, INC tough leaves
that will withstand a light frost,
should one come.
In setting these plants in the field,
they are laid in shallow burrows, tops
away from the prevailing winds; q
little soil is drawn over the roots, 4
foot pressed on the spot. while the
rest Of the stem is covered, all but
three or fOur inches Of the top. which
is turned upward. The footprint is
left open TO receive a pint of water,
which later is covered to prevent

state Drainage Work.
Inc University of Wisconsin depart
ment Of soils has recently been assist
ing In the organization Of drainage dis
tricts at a number Of points In the
State, including Black Greek and Shoe
ton, west Of Green Bay in Outagamie
County, where from 5000 to $500
acres can be drained by the s]traighten-
Ing and deepening of Black Greek. This
Will also give the City of Seymour an
outlet for sewage purposes, If the city
deems it advisable to enter the district.
Professor A. 4. Whitson, in charge Of
the plan, in reviewing the work, points
out the fact that this land is largely
alluvial soil, and thUs Will be much
more fertile than the average marsh
soil. If drained, it will be adapted to
corn and hay, especially to alsike and
timothy, and the better portions will
raise grain.
Another district in which much inter
est is shown is in Southeastern WiscOn-
sin along the Koshkonons River, where
thousands Of acres are undrained be-
cause Of the s~luggishncss of Ko5hkO-
"7lC Creek. This III probably include
the drainage of Goose Lake and Mud
Greek. and the reclamation of from
1000 to 5000 acres. The Nattlcsnake
district IS also in process Of organiza-
ton, to drain an additional 5000 or
1900 acres by q main canal entering
the kOshkOnong at the point where
the other canal begins. Between Edger-
ton and Stoughton Il similar district is
being organized.
1T is encouraging to see the inter-
est that Is being taken very recently
in the drainage Of these lands" says
Professor NhitSOn. I'VE have approx
imately two-thirds Of a million acres
Of them in the southern part of the
State. Drainage Is not limited to that
section, however. During the past sum-
mer the department of soils found a
considerable tract OF land in Pierce
County seriously in need of drainage,
which need had not been recognized.
"Co-operation for drainage purposes
Is absolutely necessary, and 1t IS al
ways a serious matter to get all that
are included in a region needing drain
age interested in the organization of a
district The legal processes involved
are also rather long. The department
aids as much as possible In this work
by making preliminary surveys and pre-
pairing plans for drainage with estt-
mates Of possible cost and Of the as
sessInent Of benefits on the different
farms, so that each farmer may know
very closely what it will cost him If a
district is actually organized"
