A Convict Island Suggested.

Somebody has just suggested trans

around loose in the seven seas and
ship convicts thither-lifers. long term
ers and short termers-doing away
with the established penitentiaries.
The Devils island experience of Cap
tain Dreyfus may be held up to the
criminal as u horrible example Of what
might be in store for him. But let us
suppose that one OF the Hawaiian Is
lands, for instance, be selected as u
convict camp. If all the states should
agree upon this method Of disposing of
convicts there would be opportunity
for a highly interesting sociological ex-
pertinent. Turn the convicts loose IN
Convict island, supply them with
working implements and let them earn
their living by the sweat Of their
brows. Why not? Then they might
organize a prisoners republic. where

germ of an idea for a novel such as

Colorado Sheep Raiser Found It a Good
Investment.
The Enclosure of Il sheep range with
in a coyote proof fence has been tried
in Colorado by Il. ii. Taylor Of Man.
GO with highly satisfactory results.
An experiment begun by the United
States department of agriculture on
tho Wallowa national forest. in Ore
gon. to discover whether sheep could.
be advantageousIy %pasturcd within
such an Enclosure led MIR. Taylor to
give the new method a trial. The out
come is set forth in a letter to the de-
partment as follows:
After reading the description of
your coyote proof fence in Oregon
constructed Il fence to inclose about
500 acres in the same manner. The
fence was constructed during the fall
of 1908. and in the spring of 1909 and
1910 1000 head of ewes were LANDED
III this inclosnre.' In the vernacular
of the hcrder. 100 per cent Of the
lambs were savcd"-tlat is, a lamb to
each eve. land one man did all the
~O1h. tulbh tuC pSA SSHI ~ IhS
lambs would have been higher. but
one animal, presumably a coyote. was
inside when tho fence vas construct
cd. 1t was impossible to capture this
animal even with hounds. Some Of
the herders thought the animal was
not Il coyote. but since coyote tracks
we're found in several places l am of
the opinion that it was. Whatever the
animal was it raised its young inside
The inclosure."
Connecting his loss with the rapacity
of this animal. Mr.. Taylor says:
"A great many of the lambs were
killed ard Il small hole eaten behind
the fore leg. and the remainder Of the
carcass was untouched. On the land
outside of the Enclosure it required the
services of three men and Il pack Of
honnds to care for 1000 ewes. and only
% per cent of the lambs were saved.
This per cent could not have been
saved without the assistance of the
hounds.
Il consider this fence a splendid in
vcstment. since it easily pays for itself
in three years. On the other hand. it
is often difficult aud sometimes impos-
sible TO get men during the lambing
season. For this reason the money
value of the fence can hardly be esti-
mated"

they do their utmost to see that each
animal has the proper care. the proper
attention. the proper feed. the proper
nouriShment. in order to bring it to its
most perfect development. The love of
their breed of horses is bred in them.
The son follows in the footsteps Of his
father and attempts to improve upon
what his father has already accom-
plished. Theirs is Il section where the
young men do not leave their BIRTH
place aud so to the cities. but where
they stay in the locality in which they
are born because they love it and ap-
preciatr the opportunity that they
have in producing the best. breed Of
draft horses in the world. a fact
which possibly influences TO a great
extent the young man to stay in the
country is because ut the bottom the
French farmer is economical. and he
loves very much the dollars which flow
into his pockets from the other coun-
tries of tho world for the horses which
they breed and raise. 81
The French government has for
many years taken a great interest in
the breeding of P%ercheron horses.
Through it's system of shows. through
the pensions aud approval given to
the best stations. it has had Il great
influence upon the improvement of the
Perchrron breed.
Hardly more thar 5000 colts con
sidercl sufficiently good for registra-
tion are bred each year in the Per-
cheron district. In spite Of the con-
tinuous drain upon the breeding stock
Of the country the P%ercheron horse is
today better than he ever was. His
size has been increased. while the
qualities which have made him famous
throughout the world have not dimin-
ished.

BREEDING THE i.
PERCHERON HORSE.

P%ercheron horses have improved the
breeds Of draft horses In every civil

eran Missouri breeder. The Percheron
horse eel to make a better cross
with foreign breeds of horses than
does any other known draft breed. It
is undoubtedly due to this fact that
the P%ercheron horse is so widely dis.
tributed.
The development Of the Percheron
horse undoubtedly is due to n great
extent to the soil and climate. yet the
breeders. the men who choose the stall
lions. who select the mares and who
raise them to maturity. have a great
deal to do with it. These men not only
have an intense love for their province
and arc proud of it's most important
industry. but they are lovers of the
animals they breed. They look after
them carefully: they treat them we'll;

Why Is Esperanto?

Solomon or some other wise one re-
marked. Observation-Disclosures is a misfOr-
tune. but side whiskers are q mans
own fault" Still. IL a man fancies
side whiskers. why not let him enjoy
them? The same may be said as to
the Esperantists. There is q consid-
cradle smattering Of people through
out the world who take to Esperanto
ss a duck to water or a hen to the
roost. The presence of delegates. from
thirty-seven countries at the recent
Esperanto congress in Washington tes-
titles to the fact that the new Ian
guage, man made. intended for inter-
national adoption. has many adher-
ents. But there seems to be little pros
pect that Esperanto or any other made
to order language will be adopted by
the world. Languages grow out Of
conditions. not out of theories. Real,
permanent languages are the upgrowth
Of centuries, the slow result of time.
1t is amazing that any man or set of
men should sit down and invent a Ian
guage. but this has been done in sew
eral instances. Witness the late la
mented Volapuk, which had some
vogue a few years ago. 1t has gone
the way Of all dreams. glimmering
into the CULTS.
The Esperantists in their enthusiasm
predict for the new tongue an increas-
ing popularity. but 1.-The generality of
mankind in general" it may be said
without reservation. will continue to
speak the good old languages learned
at mothers knee. Esperanto is inter-
esting. So was the reformed spelling
which received the plaudits Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and other eminent per-
sons. Reformed spelling has made
little Roadway. Reformed speaking
promises a like lack of progress. de-
spite the enthusiastic predictions of
the Esperantist devotees.

Florence Nightingale.

Dead at the age of ninety, Florence
Nightingale passes into history as the
mother of modern methods, of nursing
the, sick and injured. For nearly six
ty years hers has been a name OF mag
ic. 1t is q beautiful name. suggesting
soft Italian skies and the sweet noe
turnal note of song birds. Miss Night.
ingale was called 1.-The angel of the
Crimea." She will be remembered III
connection with the Crimean war az
long as men shall remember the charge
of the Light brigade, n Of the I'M
mortal incidents Of that conflict.
It was Florence Nightingale who or
ganized the first efficient system Of
nursing in war hospitals and camps
and on the battlefield. Prior to her
work in 1856 there was lack Of wo-
mans nursing, there was dearth OF
woman's tears in camp and field hos
pital, where disease and wounds killed
thousands whose lives might have
been saved through. proper care.
Florence Nightingale, possessing high
executive ability. organized and sys-
tematized the nursing of sick and
wounded soldiers. The Red Cross So
ciety is an outgrowth of her work. 1t
had been given her to see the world,
wide fruits of her early endeavors and
to enjoy for many, years a renown that
is unique and glorious. By millions of
people throughout the world. young
and old. the name of no woman is
more highly revered than that of Flor
ence Nightingale.

Effects Of Locomotive Exhaust.

The powerful abrading effect of the
~cinder laden blast from locomotive
'smokestacks has been shown at a
bridge in Boston, which was built with
its lowest members only fifteen feet
above the tracks. and therefore within
a foot or so of the mouth of the smoke
stacks. Although the steel l beams of
the floor were completely inclosed by
thick lead plate. and the webs and
-f1anges we're also protected by hollow
tile. within ten years time the blast
has eaten through the lower faces Of
the tiles. and bodily cut out pieces Of
the lead, whole sections of both the
'.ile and the lead falling to the ground.
The destructive effect was much less
notable in bridges having three feet
additional clearance.

Roots For Sheep.

There cannot be any question about
the fact that feeding roots to sheep
works wonders with sheep intended
for show or breeding. 1t has been
noticed that the best developed speci-
mems. particularly those that are found
ut the early shows. come from root
feeding breeders. Not even in sum-
mer with ample pastures will sheep
make the development or go to the
shows in the condition that those do
whose rations are REINFORCED with an
ample supply of soiling crops or roots.
In winter some have tried to substi-
tute silage. often with good results.
Roots, however. are better aud safer
to feed. They keep the sheep in the
best possible physical condition and
secure Il development that cannot be
attained in any other way.

Fall Pasture For Swine.

Cowpea seed were fed to swine with
corn. equal parts of each. for fatten-
ing purposes by the Alabama station.
and the results were highly satisfac-
tory. Peas for this purpose were
profitably used until the price exceed
ed $1.O5. in which case corn with
some other feed was more profitable.
With present high prices of cow
peas they cannot be used probably
for fattening swine. but the plants
make most excellent pasture for young
pigs and breeding stock.
Corn for finishing swine with a lit
tie supplement is ideal. but should be
sparingly used for pigs and breeding
stock. The pasture is indispensable
