Important To The Catholics O
Malta And Vicinity
Read This.

The decree, "Suam Singulari Chris
tus Amore" issued by Pope Plus X
on August of last year reminds all
the Christian faithful that children
who have attained the age of reason
are obliged to go to confession and
communion at least once year.
According to the instructions of the
Supreme Pontlff the child is not re-
quired to possess a complete know
ledge of the christian doctrine; it is
sufficient that the child knows the
principal mysteries of the faith, and
how to distinguish the Eucharistic
bread from the ordinary bread.
Three conditions are required III the
papal decree; the child must ce in
the state of grace; it must know
that God is the creator of Heaven
and earth and all things; that there
is one God in three divine persons,
the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost:
that the second person, the Son,
called Jesus Christ, became man for
us, suffered and died OH the cross;
that man must keep Gods command
ments, lead good life, keep Gods
grace and will receive Heaven as a
reward; that ii man dies in enmity
with God, lie will be punished with
hell; the child must also believe that
Jesus Christ is really truly present
under the appearance OF the Eucha-
ristic bread. A third condition is
piety. The parents are admonished
to speak to their children about God,
to infuse into their hearts the love of
God and their neighbor.

and act accordingly aud have the
children ready 10 receive communion
on April %, the fourth Sunday of
that month. Father Vermaat will
conduct himself the final exercises
the last day proceeding Communion
Day, when he will stay here all

All Catholics Of Malta and vicinity
are also urgently requested by Father
Vermaat to be present at the High
Mass on the fourth Sunday OF this

to be one of the best organized and
biggest gangs of cattle thieves that
ever operated in the west by the ar
rest in Valley county of a white man
and several Indians. The arrests
were made by Geo. Twible, a stock
inspector. 1t is charged that the
leader of the gang is William Biggs,
whose ranch home is south Of the
Missouri river, near Wolf Point,
and that associated with him are
Canadian-F rench half f-breeds and
full-bloOd Indians.
Finding it was necessary to have
accomplices, it is charged that Biggs
associated himself with men who
drove small lunches of cattle from

Plymouth County, Mass, Has Murder
Trial

Plymouth, Mass, Feb Plymouth
county's first murder trial in several
years began Monday in the superior
court here. The defendants, Enrico Mar
COLI, sometimes called Harry Marshall,
and Lena Cusumano, both Of Hull are
charged with the murder of Frank Gu
sumano the woman's husband, at Hull
last September Some time was spent
in selecting a jury, l25 talesmen having
been summoned. Judge William Seho-
field presided District Attorney Albert
F. Barker and Assistant District Attor-
ney Fred c. Kaufman conducted the
prosecution, the prisoners being repre-
scented by William J. Coughlan Of Alb
ington and Thomas J. Grady Of Bos-
ton.
The nude body Of Cusumauo was
found on the beach at Hull on Oct. IA.
last. rolled in bed quilt aud wrapped
about with telephone wire. The head
was nearly severed from the body and
there were knife wounds on various

one. But at the same time | believe
such experiments as these that led to
the conclusion quoted are practically
valueless, and the conclusion resulting
however, correct, is in its general appli'
cation, extremely misleading. Large
seed pieces are not necessary 10 large
Yields. But it should be remembered
that small seed pieces are not contri'
huting factors TO large yields, while
large seed pieces may be and usually
are such The Englishmen obtained very
large yields from very small seed pieces
but it was not because of but in spite
of the small seed pieces We are told
that in another contest, with slightly
larger seed pieces, lower yields were OBJ
tanned We are not told, however, that
these results were obtained side by side
on the same ground or even by the same
men, and common sense assures us they
were not.
The great majority OF experiments in
this country, conducted by trained men
at agricultural experiment stations, have
shown that the larger the seed piece the
larger the yield per acre, other things
being equal. At what point will the
cost Of heavier seeding equal the value
OF increase in yield That is the dam
ger line we should not pass and its
place is fixed by several factors, such
as price of seed and probable value OF
crops, fertility of soil, etc. We read
much OF late about raising calves with
out milk. 1t can certainly be done.
But for ordinary, can art improve upon
nature, as to economy and effectiveness
It is about the same with this potato
question There are soils and condi-
tons where the use OF finely cut seed
is advisable, but for ordinary, a larger
seed piece supplying natures own pre-
pared food for the young, growing po-
tato sprout, will prove better.
The potato sprout very quickly sends
out rootlets into the soil, and when
this is very fertile and well adapted
to the crop the sprout will little miss
the cutting off Of its natural food sup
ply by the divisions Of the parent tuber
into many small pieces. But on less
favorable soil this robbing may so stunt
the early growth as to preclude the pos
sibility of a maximum yield. / have
been told of experiments wherein the
planting OF whole large tubers gave less
marketable yield side by side with rows
planted with cut seed, but on inquiry
found the whole large seed had been
planted the same distance apart in the
row as the cut seed, which was planted
closely. OF course the experiment re-
suited misleadingly The result should
have been expected. The larger the seed
pieces the farther Erart in the row
should they be planted. On my own
farm I am confident, from rather close
observation for many years and from
carefully conducted comparative ex-
pertinent, that extended through a period
Of eleven years, that ] get better re-
suits by planting whole large tubers
in hills three feet apart each way, Gull

ditions l might possibly find it advis-
able to change my practice as regards
seeding. should not want to drop the
selection of seed under any conditions

INTENSIVE FARMING ABROAD.
Dutch System Profitable for Renter OF
Owner.


Some results Of intensive farming in
Holland are brought out in report
made to the department of commerce
and labor BY Frank W. Mahin, United
States consul at Amsterdam, who says;
"Fertilizers are now extensively used
in this district Stable manure was
used at irst, but in the present intensive
farming chemical products are chiefly EN-
ployed Their use has caused a remark
able transformation in Dutch agriculture.
Land which once produced sparsely now
yields abundant crops Chemicals for
fertilizing purposes are imported, but a
superphospate factory has been estab-
Iished in Amsterdam which supplies
much Of the demand.
"A feature Of the intensive agriculture
Is the multiplication Of small dairy
farms, which, by their ready eonsump-
ton OF grain and fodder. are valuable
customers Of other farmers. The in
crease Of vegetable products is another
result OF intensive farming These are
found to be especially profitable in sandy
soil some of which, without scientific
ertilizing, would be almost worthless.
Larger farms are still practicable main
" in clay soil districts, but even there
the cultivation is concentrated and in
tensive.
Cattle abound, especially in the rich
lowIands OF Friesland, Utrecht and North
and South Holland where they are pas
tured the greater part OF the year. The
total number OF cattle in the kingdom is
estimated at nearly 100000, more than
half OF which are mich cows. They are
tenderly cared for. being blanketed in
damp or cold weather in the pastures.
As matter Of course, milk is good.
plentiful and cheap flour cents a quart

more so, perhaps, than in any other
country,
"The latest calculation gives the total
annual butter and cheese product of Hol-
land as l43000,000 and l76,000,000
pounds. respectively. OF the butter, one
third is made on farms, the rest in the
factories Friesland is the great butter
province. North Holland is predominant
IN cheese
"The present farming method Is profit
able for either renter or owner. 1t is
noteworthy that a majority of the Dutch
farmers are now renters, the proportion
Of renters to owners IN the whole coun-
try being given as 81 and 43 per cent,
respectively. The proportion in this dis
trict. however, varies greatly in different
provinces
For instance. in Groningen rs per
cent. OF the soil is farmed by its owners,
whereas in Friesland 6s per cent. is titled
by renters. These variations result from
historical circumstances or character of
the soil The percentage Of renters has
increased for several years. The expla-
nation given is that intensive farming
requires more working capital than the
old methods, and that the owner. averse
to risking this. prefers TO take the high
rent assured him bv letting his land.
"This condition has led to increased
attention on the part Of the government
to insure success to the renter. Not
withstanding its dense population, this
part Of the Netherlands produces much
more than II consumes of many kinds OF
farm products"

FEEDING HAY TO HOGS.
Farmers in West Use Leguminous Hay
and Pasture Crops.

Farmers living in the western part of
/ the United States have taken the lead
over those living in the East, in the
matter of using leguminous hay and pas
| ture crops for hog feeding. Necessity
in part, at least, led them to this, for in
many of these districts the great univer-
sal fattening feed, corn, could not sue
cessfully be grown, and substitutes had
TO be devised They were found in the
alfalfa and pea crops that grow so -four
ishingly on the irrigated lands, as well
as the normal agricultural districts of
the West. So satisfactory did their
| feeding experiment prove that many
| farmers living in the central West, where
corn is a staple product, have still taken
advantage of the possibility Of hay feed
ing, and are using alfalfa and peas quite
extensively with corn.
Wherever tried, in West, central West
or East, so far as known. great feeding
value has been found 10 exist In alfalfa
pasture and hay made from IL, as well
as i'm clover pasture and hay. Alfalfa
has proved itself to be more effective
than clover for hog feeding, but clover
even has been found to be worth about
~ much ~ tht HNtIugt iaim gram,
Mound for pound, in pork production,
This means that 2A pounds Of clover
hay Is as good as one pound Of grain,
and its cost is very much less. The
amount Of hay that can be utilized by
hog. Of course, is limited. The reason
the clover or even alfalfa is not more
effective Is that pigs do not eat the
stems. but LARGELY the leaves The best
supply OF leaves can be gotten by taking
or gathering the leaf offal in barns where
clover hay is fed to horses and cattle
II is very likely that such material
would compare very favorablv with grain
in food value for hoes-lb pounds prob
ably equalling one pound Of farm grain.
There are but few farmers that could
not have this feed.
