AGRICULTURAL SHORT COURSES.

The practical and valuable work OF
a number OF state agricultural col
leges Is being widely extended during
the present winter through a series
Of short courses OF instruction In agri-
culture. animal husbandry and domes.
tic economy which are being held In
the larger towns throughout the sew
eral states. The courses usually cover
a week. are thoroughly advertised,
largely attended and In most cases
where held have paid financially.
The Inauguration Of these movable
short course schools has placed the
benefit Of the instruction given Mt tho
agricultural college, IL but for a short
period. within the reach Of q very
large number Of people. who are thus
able to derive the benefits Of instruc-
tion In these various lines without the
expense which would be incident to q
trip to the college. The professors and
their assistants have charge Of the In
struction work and put Just as much
thought and energy into II as they
would In the case Of classes at col
lege. Glasses for men and boys are
given instruction In stock judging and
in the judging. selection and testing of
corn and small grains. while the wo-
men and girls are given instruction
and practical experiments In domestic
science. including the food value, Sc
lection and preparation OF food prod
ucts for the table. and lessons IN
household management. including san
itation. home hygiene and other sub
5ects- A tuition fee varying from 81
to $3.50 is charged for the weeks
course. and II seems to be the verdict
Of most OF those who attend that they
get their full moneys worth. Many.
seeing the practical value Of the in-
struction given. have an interest
aroused which leads them to take
more extended courses at the college
proper. The short course schools con-
Quoted on the above OF quite similar
lines are most valuable addition to
the good work which our agricultural
schools are doing and will tend to
arouse an interest along lines that are
OF the highest economic Importance.

A nearby reader Of these notes who
the past season planted ten or twelve
different varieties OF thoroughbred corn
reports that he harvested the largest
M well a. the most mature and sound
est crop from the yellow dent variety
known as Minnesota No. ia, which has
been developed, as its name implies,
by the Minnesota experiment station
and is especially adapted to climate
conditions prevailing In Minnesota,
Wisconsin and the Dakotas. In view
OF the fact that there grew I'm fields
adjoining this No. ID such varieties as
Silver Mine and Reds yellow dent,
supposed to be much better yielders,
the above showing Is interesting and
should contain a suggestion for those
who have somehow got the idea that
the maximum corn yield Is to be OBJ
tained from the largest possible types
or corn which Will mature between the
May and September frosts. An inter
esting feature noted In case OF the No.
10 was Its seeming tendency to over
come the handicap OF a small sized ear
by producing two on a stalk. During
the past Ave years. largely as the re-
suit OF q speculative desire TO accom-
plish more than was possible and a
misapplication OF seed corn sugges-
lions, types Of corn have been raised
In the northern portion Of the corn belt
which were entirely too large to ma
ture In the growing season and as a
result have spoiled in the crib. There
should be a strong move In the oppo-
site direction. and the above expert
ence with smaller type like the Min
nesota No. IL seems to furnish n good
reason for Il.

In a hearing which the country life
commission held In the Twin Cities a
resident Of the southern part OF Mime
sofa suggested the novel idea OF oper-
ating laundries In connection with the
cooperating creameries of the coun-
try. the waste steam from the boilers
to be utilized for the purpose. II such
a plan could be worked out. Il would
be an almost incalculable boon to the
overworked farmers wife, one OF the
chief bugbears Of whose routine work
is the heavy washing which has to be
got out Of the way every week. While
the suggestion needs elaboration, II is
along a needed line and should be
given serious consideration.

BONDS
OF ITALIANS
Federal Inspectors Say Black
Hand Case Is Growing Fast

Toledo. o.. June 17.-That the con-
tinued Investigation OF the alleged
Black Hand society in Ohio shows the
situation to be more serious than Mt
first thought, is the declaration made
by Postal Inspector Il. F. Hutches, who
arrived here yesterday with Inspector
h. M. Hosford.
In compliance with this view, United
States District Attorney Day had the
bond of Salvador lint increased to
$4,000 and the bond Of Sebastian Lima
his cousin and brother, in-law, arrested
Monday night at Marion, fixed at the
same figure. They. with Joseph
Batagalia and Salvatore Rizzo, were
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Gains on a charge Of con-
spiracy to defraud by use Of the Unit
ed States mails. They pleaded not
guilty and the preliminary hearing was
set for June %.
"The evidence turing up from the
papers seized by the inspectors makes
the case appear more serious every
day." said Inspector Hutches. Com
plications have been uncovered. II
was bad enough to begin with. The
governments case is being constant
ly strengthened. We cannot say more
now. but information in our posses
sion made 1t imperative that the bond
be fixed large enough to insure the
appearance OF the defendants"
The charge Of conspiracy to defraud
carries greater penalty than the
prior charge of using the mails to de-
fraud, and the government. 1T Is said,
VIII not be required TO prove the CON
summation OF the act. Hutches said
that both charges will be pushed
Attorney Day announced that q
meeting OF all the inspectors working
on the case will be held on the last
part OF the week.

Gould Servants Continue Testi-
mony Against Mistress
WOULD JUSTIFY The HUSBAND
MRS. GouLD's LAWYER SAYS He
HAS FIFTY WITNESSES Fot RE-
RuTTAL AND NIGHT SESSIONS
or COURT MAY BE HELo--WlFE
COACHES LAWYERS.

New York, June l7.--The taking II
testimony Of the servants and en-
ployes on the two Gould estates, Castle
Gould, at Port Washington. N. Y. ana
Blue Gap. in Virginia, was continued
today at the trial OF the suit OF Kath-
erine clemmons Gould for separa-
tion from Howard Gould, and alirnony
amounting TO $250.e0o year.
The defense has called small army
OF maids, stable men, gardeners, clerks,
carpenters and other employees to tes-
tify to the actions and conduct of Mrs.
Gould In an effort to justify Gould IN
leaving his wife on account Of her all
legged addiction to the use Of intoxi-
cants, rendering her unit for house
hold and family duties, according 20
the husbands contention.
Longer Sessions Ordered.
The prospects Of a large volume 7f
such testimony yet to be taken and
the announcement Of Shearn, Mrs.
Gould's lawyer, that he had some fifty
witnesses to call in rebuttal led Jus-
tice Bowling to order longer sessions
OF the trial from today, with the pos
.sibility of night sessions next week.
AS the trial progresses crowds II
curious people who storm the doors OF
the courtroom each day, anxious to
get a glimpse of the complainant or
her husband, increase. Following the
experience OF yesterday, when the
crowd attempted to rush the officers on
the doors, and the trial was inter-
rupted until the doors could be closed,
Justice Dowling today ordered retn-
forcements to be placed outside of'tl.e
courtroom TO keep people away from
the doors.
Follows Testimony Closely.
Mrs. Gould follows the testimony of
her former servants with keen int >c-
est. frequently making notes Of what
they say and coaching her lawyers on
the cross examination.
Drunk Several Times
Andrew Fredericksons who was em-
ployed as night watchman at Castle
Gould from September to December,
1905. was the first witness called today.
He testified that he saw Mrs Gould
under the influence OF liquor in his
opinion on November Z, 1905
Edward Bechetols, who was In charge
of wines and liquors aboard Gould's
yacht, the Niagara. in December, 1905,
when the Goulds were cruising with a
party of friends testified that he saw
Mrs. Gould intoxicated several times
during the cruise
