His questions are perfectly fair, and I will
answer them.
Q) A public investigation of Lee and
Duckworth would have been in the nature of
a courthouse trial, after Grand Jury has
made secret investigation and found an in
dictment. The investigation had already
been made in private by responsible parties;
the accusation had been published to the
world by responsible parties; consequently,
Lee and Duckworth ought to have had pub
lie and speedy trial, in which they would
have had the right to be confronted with the

Cultivate the Orchard.

"The young orchard should be cul-
tivated," says Zoologist Surface, but
not with grain or grass crops. Corn.
potatoes, beans or other vegetables.
we'll cultivated, are ideal for a young
orchard. The ground should be
stirred every two or three weeks until
the middle of August In going
through the orchard with the harrow
care should be taken not to injure,
bruise or bark the trees TO avoid
this the horses ought to be muzzled
and the outside portions of traces and
whiffletrees padded"
In going through some young or
chards early in the season for the pur-
pose of demonstrating pruning, Pro-
fessor Surface found many cases of
trees which had been seriously dam
aged through being grazed by while

horses. In going through the orchard

her daughter to study physiology at

Roup and Colds.

The most common cause OF this
trouble arises from damp roosting
quarters and from fowls roosting
where drafts coming through cracks
and knotholes are allowed to blow on
them. Even sudden changes in the
weather are also to be found a prime
factor in the development Of a severe
case of roup. A sudden change of
temperature causes the fowls to crowd
in the roosting room with result the
fowls emerge from the roosting room
in the early morn all the worse from
breathing foul air and with the pores
of the skin open and deep cold is
the result.
Another cause to which roup can
be attributed is from those cool rains
of late fall and the damp grass and
weeds through which they crawl hunt
ing for food and worms. In so doing
their feathers get wet and with little
or no exercise their blood gets slug
gish and deep cold is the result. But
by far the most common cause is from
roosting in trees or in poorly protect
ed houses through which the bleak
northern winds pour in as we'll as the
drifting snow. Even an open door
will do less harm than a one-inch
knothole through which the wind
drives its way directly on the poor
fowls.
BY far the best prevention of roup
is to have the fowls roost in house
that is well protected on three sides

ly sought where formerly he was
stunned, according to Isaac Weis-
berg, a fur trader OF Moberly, Mo,
who buys the skins of skunks, rae
coons, minks, opossums and musk
rats and ships them over to Europe.
These skins have increased in
value during the last two years 200
per cent and more" said Mr.. Weis-
berg at the Imperial. Every wom-
an of fashion in Paris and Berlin
and the other Continental cities now
wears one or more skunk skins on
at least one Of her dresses as trim
ming around the bottom, while many
are used for trimming sealskin coats.
This fashion started the demand. Two
years ago the price of skunk skins
suddenly jumped from 80 cents to
81, and 1t Is now averaging SO. AS
for muskrat skins, we used to buy
all we wanted at 10 and Is cents
apiece. Now they are fetching 81
apiece.
These skins are sold at auction
in London, and furriers from all
parts of Europe attend. The demand
for furs Of all kinds is increasing

that they come from Russia, and
they bring fabulous prices. One skin

Feeding New Corn

Many farmers associate the thought
of new corn with hog cholera" and
the belief is common in some local.
ties that the use of new corn will
cause the disease. This may indi-
rectly be somewhat true, as the sud-
den change to new corn is not I'M
likely to produce a feverish condition
which would encourage the thriving
of latent disease germs. 1t is undeni-
able that swine appear to be more
generally afflicted with the disease
about the time new corn is made use
of, but an examination might shCw
that such condition is rather to he
expected. When the new corn is
given they greatly relish the soft,
succulent, fresh food, and, if permit
ted to do so, will eat enough to
change their probable constipation to
acute diarrhea, and put them in a
condition which invites other all
ments.
Much of the so-called cholera
which comes in autumn is but the
diseased condition brought abort by
a sudden change from limited dry
diet to a plethora of the appetizing
new corn. The temptation to rush
hogs off to market before cold wea-
Their approaches should not encour-
age the farmer to make too sudden
change in his methods of feeding.
When the earliest corn is in full
roasting-ear stage it may be given,
stalk and all, in moderate quantity,
without any change at first in the
usual feeding. AS the corn hardens
it may be given more literally, but
by a gradual increase. BY the time
the corn is fully matured the hogs
will have become woll accustomed
to il.
Hogs that have had access to plenty
of green pasture are less liable to
be disturbed by green or new corn
than those previously kept in dry
lots. Where they have been pas
tured on rape or green, succulent
food of that character, the risk is
greatly diminished. Pumpkins are
excellent feed for hogs about to be
put on green corn. They supply sue
culence, and their seeds serve we'll
as vermifuge. Coburn's
