THE WORK AT HOME.

We note with interest that County
Judge Alben Barley was one of the
most enthusiastic speakers at the
conference for charities and correc.
tons at Louisville. We anticipate
with pleasure the extension of thai
enthusiasm TO the conduct of tht
juvenile court in this county. ovel
which he presides and of which his
father is probation officer at salary
of 81, 200 a year. paid jointly by the
city and county.
Upon these twain rests a great re-
sponsibility to this community. The
adult dependents of the city, consist
of the physically and mentally in
competent, victims of degrading
habits, the improvident and those
otherwise unfortunate. The most
that can be done for the majority OF
these is to protect them as best we
can, make their burdens easier and
extend to them that charity and
sympathy the knowledge of our own
short comings and advantages in
vokes; but we are confronted with
this problem: shall we consider our
duty done when we have relieved the
sufferings of the unfortunate. and
permit a generation yet in its in
fancy to grow up under the same
conditions and amid the same en-
yironments to be a burden upon So
ciety when we are gone, and menace
the stamina of the race with their
deficiencies?
Most of the adult dependents were
made so in their youths. by improper
training, immoral influences. unsani-
tary and bad hygienic home condi-
tons. lack of nourishment and ex-
poSure, producing arrested develop
ment and other bodily inhrmities
that prevented the subjects having a
fair chance in the world. II Is not
fair either to the community or these
little ones that they should be de-
prived of a fair start In the world,
when improvement Of their environ
ments. proper medical attention. and
compulsory care Of them by their de
linquent guardians would make them
physically and mentally sound.
This Is the work OF the juvenile
court; the work of prevention OF
crime and pauperism, bearing the
same relations to the criminal courts,
that the health department of a city
bears to the hospitals and the doc
tors. The doctors and the hospitals
we must have to care for those, who
are stricken with maladies that are
not or cannot be prevented; and the
courts must look after the derelicts
who foul the channel of social in
tercourse; but the work Of preven-
ton is the great work. for II bene-
fits the whole mass of society at the
least cost and gives a wealth pro-
Queer for a possible criminal: and IL
offers that one chance to be him
self.
Trying children who are bad and
sending them TO the state reform
s<>Qol, is not doing the work for
whth the Juvenile court is designed
or for which the city and county pay
a probation officer. In a well regu-
lated and properly conducted
juvenile court more parents are pun
ished than children. Volunteer pro-
baton officers, representing various
religious denominations. should be
at the service of the court to aid In
accomplishing what the name 'pro-
baton officers. means-putting
children on probation to behave, and

store, thought to be a valuable gem,
was picked from an oyster last Sat
urday, but turned out not genuine.
While eating blue points at a down
town restaurant with a friend last
week he struck a hard substance
that resembled a pearl. Friends told
him it was prize and he thought
1T to be worth $500. His hopes fell

him It was of no value. The near
pearl was about the size Of a pea
and when polished it was very de-

EATTENING AND MARkEIIN0
PIGS.

After the pigs nave been Wen pre-
pared for the fattening PERIOD py q
liberal feeding of grasses ana ioIase
crops. they are in an ideal conoltlon
to be put into the fattenIns pens dhd
finished for market.
There is a wide diversity of opinion
among the successful hog grower ana
feeders concerning the most profitable
age and size to fatten n market
the porkers and I realize that l am
READING on dangerous ground WheH
I advocate feeding the pigs until they
will weigh from 800 to 4oo pounos dt
market time.
BUT after considering everything IN
its true light I am convinced that IT
is more profitable to allow the pigs to
run on forage crops until they become
big-boned, hardy fellows and along In
October put them in h fattenIns
pens and feed them corn and water
until thev are ready to go TO market
in January or February, weighing the
above mentioned weights.
The proper time to sell fat hogs is
when they are ready for the market
and we have seldom known it to pay
feeders to hold their hogs until the
market advances. There is consider
able expense connected with holding a
fat hog for an in the market
and many times the market declines
instead OF advances, and then the loss
is greater than before.
Pigs that are being fed in carload
lots should not be driven to the car
but loaded into uniform punches n
assorted as to size and condition. It
is the even quality Of a. bunch Of fat
hogs that attracts the buyers aften-
ton.
Either keep the cu1ls in separate
lunches OF sell them in one lot
There are men who make good
money feeding hogs, but there are
more who would lose money If they
figured their grain foods at the mar
ket prices and the cost Of labor re-
CURED to care for the hogs. There
is no sentiment in the hog feeding
business and few Of Us would choose
q bunch Of hogs for companions un-
less the business was found profitable
The men who have been successful
with hogs have been the ones who
have stuck to the business through
thick and thin. Good hogs will pay
profitable returns if properly handled.

NEGRO

In the course of a discussion Of GER
tain aspects of Negro Tenancy" con-
tributed to the Carolina Union Farm
er, President H. .. Alexander, of the
North Carolina Union. offers some very
interesting views. Our farmers" he
declares, land especially our cotton
farmers, have been disposed to employ
too man hands on their farms Every
available cabin IS filled with a family
of negroes under the SSion that
many hands make light work" and
that it means big crOps One result
of this mistake has been that these
numerou. hands seldom earn their
keep, the majority returning a direct
loss to the farmer from their employ
ment. Wha Or. Alexander considers
a more serious result Is the tendency
to keep the farm children from active
~ participating in the farm work.
With so many helpers, there is no
need for the boys to come in contact
with the harder rart OF farm raising.
This may make it easier for the grow
ing lads, but it prevents them from
becoming Interested in any desirable
degree in farm life and i. one great
cause for the disinclination 50 many
farmers CONS exhibit towards taking
up agriculture as a profession.
w have tried to cultivate too
many acres of poor land that did not
pay the cost of fertilizer and labor"
- 1oiKiiI1R u
the question Of a remedy for the stu
alton outlined. This is why we have
felt that we must have a big crowd Of
hands ON the farm. We should SOW
down the poorer pieces Of land in the
leguminous crops, using heavy appli-
cations of lime and ground phosphate
rock. Sow larger small grain crops.
and reduce the acreage planted in
! hoed crops, but try to make larger
yields per acre Of all crops. Pastures
should be improved and enlarged il
necessary
Too many hands on a farm is no less
undesirable from the viewpoint OF the
negroes than from that Of their white
employers. The conditions which eur
round the young negro's struggle for
a livelihood today are such g.. reaufye
industry and alertness, and he cannot
obtain training in this direction on a
farm where there are several to do
each task. Such circumstances tend
to Sinking and make d.
rectly against the negro's future. The
more widely DR.. ~Alexander'. sugre>-
tions are pondered, the greater !. like
1y to be the resulting benefit to bott
and hands.

POISON IVEY.

A correspondent writes that he was
recently poisoned by mistaking poison
ivy for Virginia creeper. He asks IL we
can tell him how to tell one plant from
the other.
It is the easiest thing in the world
to do his. Poison ivy has a three
parted leaf. ~Ampelopsic or Virginia
creeper a fve-parted leaf. The latter
is Of rampant climbing habit.
= s., =, Sc f1"m grows TO greater
height than three feet. It may over
run an old stump or a heap OF stones,
and have the appearance or DelnB a
vine, but a closer examination viii
show you that it does not really climb.
1t generally makes a bushy growth,
sending up a mass OF slender stems
from it's spreading roots and covering
a considerable amount OF space.
If one studies the structure Of the
peculiarities Of the two plants, it will
be impossible to mistake one for the
other.
Some persons complain that they
find 1T difficult to exterminate poison
ivy. They NOW it down and in a little
while 1t sprouts. and before long there
is more OF it than ever.
1t cannot be killed by simply now
ing it. But II, after moving it, the
ground In which it grows IS sprinkled
with Kerosene, and burnt over, 1t is
not a difficult thing to XII it. All The
roots may not be killed with one appli-
cation, however.
II some of them send up sprouts,
cut these off close to the ground, and
pour keronsene over the stub and
about it-enough to Saturate the soil
we'll. This will generally put an end
to the nuisance.-Eben f.. Rexford.

THE PATCH.

The strawberry will stand a good
deal OF i'll treatment, but 1t will not
produce good crops under the above
conditions.
Any good soil that will bring corn
or potatoes will do for Strawberries,
but II you want berries the size Of hens
eggs, put the plants in the richest soil
you can find and cultivate the same as
other garden crops.
If the soil is not rich enough with
out being fertiliZed. use weIl-rOtted
stable anure Fresh manure will not
do except as q top dressing; after the
plants are well started, spread it be-
tween the rows.
If one can procure good, strong
plants in the fall and have them taken
up with d quantity of soil adhering to
the roots, they will bear a good many
berries the following season, but not
a full crop.
If transplanted in the fall without
any soil clingfng to the roots, the
plants should not be allowed to bear
fruit the folio wing season.
This fs important because when all
or the roots are dislodged it takes a
long time for the plant to the
shock and form new roots.
None OF h old ever take a firm
nold IN the ground unless new feed
ers start and while the strawberry
grows or hibernates all winter, the
growth is less rapid when the ground
Is cold than it is in the spring and
summer.
A great many people believe fall is
the proper time to set berry
plants.
They take up their plants, or send
their ORDER to some nurseryman, as
the case may be. and handle the
plants Just as they would in the spring.
Now this. is all wrong.
The hast week in October is about
the right time to transplant, or rather
transfer Strawberries.
See that the soil is in good condition
70 receive the plants. Pillow or spade
1t as deep as the soil will permit.
If a crop of potatoes has Just been
removed from the ground. it sho,,ld
not need much stirring.
Place the plants in rows about four
1ecr apart, and ten inches apart in the
rows. Rows may be either single or
double as preferred.
II the weather is dry a little water
should be poured around the roots be-
1ore filling in the soil.
Alter the plants have gotten a start.
noe or run the cu%ltivator between the
rows to loosen the surface before the
covering is put on. It is a good plan
to cover before there is a chance for
them to freeze.
Don't cover too deep, because if the
air is excluded the plants will
smother Clean straw, free from
chaff, makes the best covering--Anna
Gallagher.
