Probably the most important time
In flock management is the breeding
season. says American Agriculturist.
After a ram is chosen the ewes that
he breeds SHOULD not be less than one
year old, or never breed any lambs.
1t does not pay financially, as it de-
creases the size and runs the flock
to scrubby, small and inferior animals.

1t is not well to hold the silage juices
In the silo. They become as acid almost
as vinegar. Therefore silo should
not have concrete floor, but the silage
should rest on the earth, and it will

THE FISH COMllISSION.

There is one branch of the federal govern
ment which does more business in proportion
TO the amount of publicity 1t attracts than any
other federal agency. This is the National Fish
Commission. AT comparatively small expense
and, under the administration of Commissioner
George NJ. Bowers, with constantly decreasing
cost of production, this bureau is doing great
work in stocking the rivers and coast waters
of the country with edible fish. Gradually the
production of fish eggs and fry has been in
creased until during the last fiscal year the
total output exceeded three billion, while the
cost of distribution has been steadily decreased
until the figures for last year show a net
pense of 1852 a million specimens, a material
reduction from 1919 76 the cost million when
Commissioner Bowers took charge.
The demands on the commission to stock
streams and coast waters steadily increas-
ing. Ten years ago the total number of requisi-
tons annually amounted TO four thousand.
During the last year the acquisitions exceeded
eleven thousand. The fish distributed by the
commission not, is often assumed, the
species preferred by spOrtsmen. In fact. last
year only per cent of the entire output con
sisted of what are generally regarded as game
fish. The remaining 9S per cent consisted of
fish for which there is established market,
and the distribution of such large quantity of
eggs and fry added just much TO the food
products of the country
One of the interesting developments of the
federal care of fish culture has been the change
which has taken place with regard to the
toothsome shad. comparatively few years
ago the efforts of the commission were devoted
to the propagation of this species in the waters
of the Pacific coast but so great have been the
inroads of the market fishermen the supply
of Eastern waters that it is now necessary to
bring shad eggs from the Far West TO replenish
Eastern waters.
The creation and maintenance of the Fish
Commission have occasionally been criticised
on the ground that it was paternalism, but that
argument applies no more to this branch of the
national government than 1t does to the main
tenance of the Department of Agriculture and
it is doubtful if any agency of the government
achieves so much toward increasing the conn
try's food supply in proportion TO the expense
involved.

THE AGRAM TREASON rRLAL.

The great treason trial at Agram. which had
been going on since March last, came TO an end
last week with verdict somewhat milder than
that which the government demanded, but yet
50 severe as 10 provoke prompt appeal. The
State Attorney demanded the condemnation of
five Of the prisoners to death by hanging and
the Imprisonment at hard labor of all the rest
But in the end nobody condemned to death.
while twenty-five of the fifty-two were acquit-
led, after having been imprisoned for more
than year and a quarter An appeal in be-
half of the thirty who have been condemned 10
imprisonment will doubtless be granted and
there is reason 10 expect that all the proceed
ngs Of the late trial will he annuled on the
ground of the courts frequent violation of the
forms of penal procedure. Whether another
trial will be attempted is doubtful, in view of
the unsettled state Of ministerial affairs al both
Vienna and Budapest.
1t is a question whether il would notSbe best
for the government to discontinue the whole
case and let all the accused persons 20 free
The Indictment was that these fifty-two per
sons. chiefly members Of the learned Drofas-
slons, were fomenting conspiracy for the re-
creation Of the old Servan empire. including
Croatia, Slav0nia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and
that they were disseminating treason in the
AustrO- Hungarian army. Much of the testi.
mony which was presented was of ii limsy and
absurd nature-aS, Tor example, that certain
schoOimaster had taught his dog 10 howl an
grily whenever Austria was mentioned and had
done 50 by the primitive method Of treading on
The dogs tail at the same time that he spoke
the hated name! Practically all of the serious
testimony upon which the prisoners were in
dicted and then convicted, was given by a pro
fessiOnal police spy and provocative agent who
had himself frequently been guilty OF theft and
other felOnies. During the trial the Judge per-
sistenty refused TO let the prisoners or their
counsel criticise in any way the testimony which
given against them; he repeatedly fined
and sent TO dark cells and imposed fasting upon
prisoners who laughed or made critical remarks
at the extrayagances of the prosecution, and IN
many ways he grossly violated the Croatiln
code Of criminal procedure.
There is no doubt that the inhabitants of
Seryia Irredenta have strong desires for the
reunion and rehabilitation Of what was once
splendid empire But so the Germans of Aus
iria desire union with Germany the Italians of
kustenland and Dalmatia desire union with
Italy, the CZechs of Bohemia desire union with
RUSSIA, the Poles of Poland, Galicia SiIesa

IS HE A poLLrIcAL "FENCE"1

Tammany's tactics continue to increase Justice
Gaynor's embarrassment. In his speech OF ac-
ceptance he asked independent organizations 10
refrain from nominating him. because his name
was already on the ballot, and multlpnclty Oh
nominations would merely cucumber and deiorh
it. Tammany's reply is to make him the noun
nee of two stolen organizations If 1t were per
yersely trying to put its own candidate IN
hole" II could not resort to more embarrassing
devices First II places him on ticket with DIS
r,Dutables 'red light agents and the protectors
and organizers of the criminal and vicious, then
il fills the Board of Estimate with familiar por-
traits from the 14th street rogues gallery TO
usher in this new era of municipal government
about which he was just rhapsOdizing and nnaI-
IL it stuffs the ballot boxes of one independent
organization so as to steal its nomination for
him. and when that organization arranges to
carry on its affairs under a new name, it steals
the new name and new emblem to give him an
other stolen nomination!
What is the foe Of McKane going to do about
the fraudulent practices by which Tammany got
control of the Independence League? 1t is square
v uD to him now. He cannot dodge Ii. OF
those fraudulent practices he is the beneficiary.
From the theft of the league, as also from the
theft of the new Civic Alliance, if successful he
gains the advantage He is the nominee of the
stolen organizations Is Justice Gaynor going
to permit himself to be put in the position Of
being the receiver OF stolen property? Is he a
political fence? Or isn't he responsible?
If he accepts the nomination of these two
stolen organizations, will it be fraudulent to
charge him with moral obtuseness, as it was
fraudulent to charge him with Indifference TO
the duties of good citizenship in standing on the
same ticket with Roesch Sullivan and Hagan?
The law makes fences" criminally responsible;
why shouldn't political fence" be morally re
sponsible? And if the justice is responsible for
receiving a stolen nomination. why isn't he
sponsible for accepting a disgraceful one?

THE EDUCATION OF IuM1GR4NTs.

The scheme which is being preached in the
West by the National CrOatian Society for the
establishment of a national university in this
country for Croatians only does not altogether
commend itself to the thoughtful mind The
higher education of all immigrants and their
offspring is, of course. desirable, and we are not
at all surprised at hearing that a movement for
it is made by an important branch of that Ser
Wan race whose devotion to and enterprise in
education have during the last century been so
strikingly demonstrated in Servia itself But
ii is not a good thing for the Serbs or any other
naturalized element of American citizenship
thus to hold themselves aloof from the mass of
the nation.
an exclusively Croatian university would
strongly tend to keep its constituency Serbs
and to prevent them from becoming American
lied and that would be a most undesirable end.
SO far as pure learning is concerned there is no
difference between Servian education and any
other The binomal theorem is the same in all
languages But in SO far education com
prises the development of manhood and the
ethical and civic qualities of citizenship, what
the Serbs and also the Germans and Russians
and Italians and all other immigrants into this
country need, for their well as for this
nations good, is to be educated not as Serbs
or Germans or Russians or Italians but az
Americans and that. obviously, is best, if not
exclusively TO be done not in separate but in
common American institutions under American
instruction and in association with American
fellow students
1t is one of the most admirable and benefi-
cent features of our local public school system
and of its interesting adjunct, the system of
adult education through lecture courses, that
they blend together all nationalities into a civic
whole, and promote more perhaps than any
other agency could do the assimilation and the
Americanization of the foreign elements Of the
body polite. 1t would be unfortunate and I'M
profitable for all concerned TO have a different
and antagOnistic system established in even
single important institution Of learning

keep the spirit of their nationality alive In Ian
gllage and customs Indeed, 1t would be re-
proach TO them If they did not do so. But for
Austria Hungary to treat as guilty of high trea-
son all men In Croatia and Slavonia who retain
and teach the Cyrillic alphabet and cherish the
folklore and ballads of Servia is an amazing
performance for the first decade of the TWEEN
tieth century. OF course. 1t may have been
deemed necessary to trump up such trial in
order to suggest cause for the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. If so, that end has
been served, and 1t would be fitting now to let
the prisoners go. Cancellation is better than
repression for the consolidation of a heterO-
geneous empire.

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER.

There are more than fifty thousand less voters
registered as a result Of the three days regis
tration this year than there were at the end of
three days registration last year, and this years
total so far is seventeen thousand less than was
the total for the first three days of 1905 Those
figures indicate that n very large number of
citizens are neglecting their duty. There ought
TO be no such falling off from the total OF 1908,
and there ought to be an increase upon the total
of 1905, allowing for the reduction in illegal
registration due to the voters signature law.
There are not fifty thousand voters In this
city who were interested last year in selecting
a President of the United States and who should
he now uninterested in selecting the next Mayor
of New York City. The problems of the city
government concern every voter here more in
timately and more directly than do those Of
the federal government. Are there fifty thou
sand voters in this city who were interested in
the national election yet who do not care who
spends the S3OO000,OO0 or so a year that the
city is spending, nor how it is spent? Are there
fifty thousand such persons to whom it makes
no difference whether taxes are high or low, and
whether the money raised from taxation returns
to the public in the form of efficient government
or goes to sustain parasitic organization? If
you can afford to be Indifferent to such ques-
tions, don't register and don't vote. If you are
interested, to-day is your last chance. Register
