DEATH SENTENCE
 GIVEN TO RUSSIAN

St. Petersburg. January 21.--A court martial at Riga today condemned to death Jan Pouren, who was accused of murdering Dr. Katterfeld in Kurland province. Pouren is believed to be the revolutionist who was arrested in New York in 1908 at the behest of the Rus sian authorities, who desired his ex-N tradition in order that he might be tried for long list or alleged mur ders. He successfully resisted being sent back to Russia, however, and is believed to be in the United States.
 John Pouren Not Leader.
 New York, January 21.-vladimir Bourtzeff, the Russian radical who lec- tured here tonight, said that Jan Janiff Pouren was not leader in tho revolutionary movement in Russia nor an active worker in the cause. He had become embroiled among other peas ants in the outbreaks that followed the Japanese war and had been accused of killing several adherents of the government he said, but In point, of fact, he added, these killings were acts of war and not murders.
 Pourens case had been made test of by the Russian authorities, he sal0., and if they could succeed in securing
 
 extraditions of prisoners charged with political crimes would follow.
 Pouren is now in this city working as an electrician. He had not been in formed tonight of the sentence of death passed upon him, but Bourtzeff said that inasmuch as it had been passed in his absence he would in any event consider it only legal formality so long as he remained outside of Russian Jurisdiction.
 Last year the Russian government made repeated though unsuccessful ef- forts to extradite Pouren, but he had a strong sympathe etic following in this country and succeeded in upholding his contention that he was sought Tor political reasons only.

NIGHT RIDERS ARE
 TO BE PUNISHED

Carlisle, Ky, January H.-H B. Talley, who recently moved here from Sharps- burg, stated today that he has sent to Governor Wilson the names of the night riders implicated in the murder of Hiram Hedges, a Nicholas county farmer, in March, 1908. Talley said he can give the governor sufficient evidence to bring the guilty parties to justice.
 Talley was himself the victim of night riders, and he says he has also the names of the men who attacked him.
 The murder of Hiram Hedges was one of the most brutal of the long list of crimes charged to the night riders of central Kentucky. as a result of the ished for the deed.
 About midnight band of armed men called at the home of Hedges, who was poor farmer with a large family. He had not pooled his tobacco and at that time the night riders were using any means to force everybody into the pool Hedges was called to the door and ordered to join the society. He agreed to do so and just as he turned his head to go back into the house shot was fired from the men in the road and Hedges fell dead.
 All efforts to secure any indictments at the hands of the grand jury proved useless, but it Is the belief now that with MT. Talleys information something may be accomplished to bring to justice the men who were implicated in that fatal raid.
 Louisville, January 2.-rhe Evening Post says:
 In line with the investigation of the operations of the Burley Tobacco society, the federal detectives in Cincinnati have been looking into the outlawry in central Kentucky, and have made a thorough investigation into the Hedges case. They have information, they claim, positively establishing the identity of the man who fired the shot which killed Hedges In addition to the identity of the actual slayer it Is said the federal officers have the names of practically all of those who were in this raid. as well as in many others, and that this information will be brought out at the proper time to secure indictments.

SCIENCE IN GROWING CORN
Requires Great Deal of Labor, but
Farmer Is Repaid by the In
creased Crop.
), CRy cHAs. X. PETERsEN.)

(Ry CHAS. X. PETERSEN.)
The testing of seed corn is very i'm
portant this spring. Not in many
years has the question so closely ap-
pealed to the farmer as it does now.
Much of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this seasons plant
ing is showing low termination and
better cultivation than ever will be
necessary to produce big crop.
A good seed bed is the foundation
of the crop, or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation, the seed.
Presuming that the corn ground is in
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ured, it should be worked up as mel
the ground they should be disked both
ways, the rollers being ground sharp,
then follow with spading disk, and
work the soil thoroughly four or five
inches deep.
1t is hardly possible to spend too
much time in preparing the ground.
1t should be disked three times each
way, making six workings before
planting.
When stalks are plowed under
good plan is to harrow first then pillow,
then harrow again and plant.
The harrow should follow the plow
closely and all plowed ground should
be finished every noon and night.
Another good preparation is to disk
the ground four times, using spader
the first time and an ordinary disk a
week later. Then harrow the land
after each double disking and plant
close after the harrow. Rowe the IL
linois man says that after several
years experience he prefers disking
to blowing. OF course sod ground
must be plowed
1t is also important to use the right
kind Of corn planter-use an edge
drop planter or one that will drop the
exact number Of kernels for which it
is set 95 times out of 100. It should
even do better than that, If the seed
has been carefully sorted according
to size to At the holes in the different
plates. This is the only way to get
an even stand of corn. An even stand
from good seed is the only way to-
grow profitable crop.
Test the planter well before taking
1t to the field. Do not spoil a lot Of
ground and waste lot of seed trying
to find out whether your planter Is
reliable or not

Care of New Lawn.

All new lawns should be covered
with well rotted manure or other com.
mercial fertilizer late in the fall. Five
hundred pounds of the latter to the
acre is a good proportion. Some gar
deners think that the use of stable
manure encourages weeds.
