towards the barn, shouting fire and
his wife cried after him to be sure and

We note by the Tampa Times that
Messrs. j. N. Holmes and r. E. Wat
son of that city are in trouble, charged
with paying the poll tax of voters. ne
groes and foreigners. The arrests
were made under direction of the Anti
Saloon League of Tampa. The Hon
Don c. McMullen said: THAT a person
IL not qualified to vote when some one
else pays his poll tax, and we expect
to prosecute those who vote under
these circumstances. The election law
contemplates that a man shall pay his
own poll tax to qualify him to vote
and II he doesn't do 1t and some one
else pays 1t for him, he Is counting the
penitentiary. II he attempts to vote
The same work Is going on elsewhere

@. L. BITTIFGER. Editor


The keen-eyed editor of the Punta
0orda Herald. Adrian p. Jordan. and
the editor of the Tampa Times do not
agree on how to reform the world.
Editor Jordan In an editorial on the
Problem Of Ignorance" discourses de-
hghtfully on why crime exists. Says
II is purely through want Of informa-
ton: SO many people do not read the
papers and keep up with the process
sion Of knowledge. that would inform
them to act differently. He says not
one person in I'VE on a passenger train
buy a paper and II such passengers
were polled. not one in five could tell
you whether Taft or Roosevelt is pres
ident. In q village Of 100 persons over
half Of them don't read any newspa-
per or book. not one-third OF them at
tend church or go to hear lectures on
health. temperance, morals or science.
This explains our crime and appalling
accidents In this country than In
Europe He says 1t Is ver.r rare that
. man Of education or knowledge COM
mits crime or becomes drunkard.
The criminal class and drunkards are
recruited from the ignorant persons.
He says in England and Germany the
working people. the so-called lower
CI084GS, are mOSIly BdlucTcO 6AOupc'
q reader is chosen who reads aloud
from some good book or paper. After
the reading the group discusses what
they have heard and fix the facts read
In their minds. The result Is less
crime and drunkenness in those coun-
tries than ours Editor Jordan says:
"A German shoemaker is often bet
ter Informed than an American states
man. Indeed. the Germans are the
most Intelligent people in the world
and they are also the healthiest and
thriftiest.
but the question Is, how are we go
ing to get at the ignorant people OF
our own country and enlighten them?
We are printing newspapers and books
and maintaining schools and churches
and sending out preachers and lectur-
ers and orators and doing everything
we can think Of to abolish ignorance
and it's consequences. even to the ex-
tent Of incarcerating many people and
hanging q few occasionally, but ig-
norance continues to keep ten thou
sand courts busy and our jails and
penitentiaries filled to overlooking and
1t often puts in the highest places OF
honor and power the biggest rascals
that our American civilization can
produce"
The Tampa Times in discussing this
problem Of ignorance, after repeating
in q large degree all that Editor Jor-
dan says about the efforts to enlighten
the ignorant, winds up as follows:
II do not say that 1t is impossible to
Improve and reform a criminal I wish
merely to call attention to the palpa-
BILE and pertinent fact that all these
agencies and measures for improve
ment have already been shown to be
useless. When we come across this
tie and . cockleburr in our fields we
do not waste any time trying to teach
them to bear Ags and huckleberries
We simply cut them of below the sur
face Of the ground, so they won't
sprout. The fullness of time will DEM
onstrate that the same treatment is
necessary to eliminate the criminal
classes. Nature and humanity are all
a. one and at one in the fundamental
laws and rules that lie at the bottom
Of the system"

Hog Make. Meat Quickly.

No animal on the farm is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable meat than the hog,
and none can better repay, from a mar
ket standpoint, discriminating sys-
tenn of feeding. This is particularly
true as to first costs, for the hog Is
by nature planned to utilize the least
expensive feeds and will manufacture
into toothsome pork much that might
otherwise be reckoned Of little value,
If not waste. In any phase Of farm
economy the hog is feature, and his
proper feeding has in innumerable in
stances been the factor that kept a

ledger.-From Coburn's Swine in

Alfalfa for Cows,

Where there is an abundant supply
OF alfalfa, do not feed the dairy cows
any timothy hay, but let them have
all the alfalfa they can consume with
out waste. A mixture consisting of
400 pounds of ground corn. 300 pounds
of bran or oats supplements the al
falfa very well. Seven or eight pounds
of this combination is sufficient to pro-
duce one pound of fat when fed with
all the good alfalfa hay an animal
will consume. If the droppings of
the animal seem somewhat dry. do not
hesitate to recommend the use of one
pound Of oil meal per day.-Farmers
and Drovers' Journal

Won derful Work OF Cow.

According to modern standards or
measurements of dairy COW, one that
gives 5000 pounds of milk year, Is
but an ordinary mixer. And yet to
elaborate this amount of milk, this
cow must manufacture not less than
1SO pounds Of milk solids. The cow
may weigh more than 800 or 900
pounds, and the dry matter of her body
Is only the half Of this amount, 80 we
see the cow may manufacture new
material annually amounting to more
than twice that contained in her own
body. To do this wonderful work she
must be In the best Of physical con-
dition and must have an abundance
OF material containing the elements
she needs.
