WHERE LIFE is CHEAP.
America the Hand Where Murder
is Too Com m on to Excite
Remark

Referring to a remark of the New
York Tribune to the effect that after
recent occurrences in Great Britain, that
hereafter there will be no other refuge
left to the anarchists, and that "they
will become literally men without a
country" Andrew d. White writes to
that newspaper saying that there is
some mistake about this, that they
"have an admirable refuge, country
lying wide open to them, in which they
will find more companions, sympathizers
and effective helpers than in any
other-namely our own" He goes on
to say in Enthusiastically vigorous
language:
"Our nation affords them the hap
piest of happy hunting grounds. Events
in New York, in Los Angeles, in
Chicago, in Paterson, in scores of
towns throughout the country prove
this. These persons whom John
Bull, in his instructive determination to
have no nonsense in dealing with crime,
seems determined to drive out, will
doubtless be pleased to favor this
country with their presence, and to join
the thugs, anarchists, yeggmen, safe
blowers, hold up-men, members of the
Black Hand fraternity and the like who
already enjoy American hospitality.
The pettifoggers, the sentimental
philosophers and the ''cranks" who dis
believe in anything like prompt and eff
fective punishment have already pro-
duced an atmosphere in which all these
criminals and many others thrive
thoroughly well. l."
President White refers to the sta
tistics of crime published by Chicago
newspaper which has for years made a
speciality of their collection, and for the
substantial accuracy of which he vouches
as being confirmed by his own investi-
cations and study. According to that
collection of figures the number of hon.
icides (by which term is meant, in all

464, 600 AUTOS IN UNITED STATES.

From this it will be seen that the
tendency of automobiles is not to be-
come much cheaper.
There were 464, 600 automobiles run
ming in the United States in 1910. To
get an idea of the cost of these ma
chimes to others than their owners one
must consider the cost of all the roads
in the United States that they have
torn up and are to be rebuilt more ex-
pensively on their account. The cost
to automobile owners is no trife in it.
self, though it seems trifing in COM
parison with the roads of the country.
''The value of the automobiles made in
the United States in 1910 was $308, =
000,0 That represents less than half
the total number of automobiles in use
in that year. At the same rate, and al
lowing for the added cost of the many
foreign cars running in the country, the
total investment by automobile owners
of the United States in their present
day machines must be somewhere
around $500, 900, 600.
Engineers, and public officials advis-
ed by them, do not denounce the automo-
bile because of the bad roads it makes.
They say the automobile is good thing
for the roads when the roads are built
to standit They say it has necessitated
the construction of good roads and more
of them, which is in itself good thing
for comfort and business. They say
horses destroy asphalt and automobiles
preserve it. Likewise automobiles are
expected to pack and harden the new
roads, which are to be made so that
they cannot blow out.
"All this they think [if they think at
all is worth the cost, but some of the
more captious ask why the automobiles
instead of the property owners should
not be made to pay.
"There is one automobile owner to
about each $50 inhabitants of the
United States. There is about one
automobile owner to about each l75
persons in New York State.
Anyway, city and State officials of
almost every State seem to have decided
that the highway locomotive, as Mr..
Lewis described it to emphasize its
wear and tear on country roads, is
typical of modern progress and there
fore inevitable. They don't know what
they're going to do about it, but they do
know they must build roads"
This farce of the taxpayers, as a
whole, building roads for automobiles to
destroy, is too expensive in its char
acter to continue much longer. AS
taxpayers realize the facts they will
rebel against it, and soon stop it with a
strong hand.
AS Lincoln saidi "You can fool all the
people some of the time, and a part of
them all the time; but you cannot fool
all of them all of the time"

copied by the Senate without change,
it lacks only the signature of the Presi-
dent to make it law.
The entire day was given to the sub
ject by the Senate. Senators Brane-
gee of Connecticut and Gallinger of New
Hampshire stood as the especial spon-
sors for the measure. Senators Burton
of Ohio and Hepburn of Idaho spoke in
opposition. Senator Hepburn denounced
the bill as farce and as "The most
radical piece of fancy legislation ever
proposed to Congress-. He declared
that if seriously carried into effect it
would cost more than the Panama canal.
While it is understood that the pur-
pose of the bill is the acquisition of
land in the White mountains of New
England and in the Appalachians in the
southern States for the creation of for
est reserves, it contains no specific
mention of such purpose.
The carrying into effect of the provis-
ions of the bill is placed in the hands of
commission to be composed of the
secretary of war, interior and agricul-
ture, and two senators and two repre-
sentatives.
The purchase of land is placed in the
hands of the secretary of agriculture
and is confined to such areas as may
affect the head waters of navigable
streams. No purchase is to be author
lied until passed upon by the geological
survey. The land, once acquired, is to
be cut up into forest reserves as may
seem best for administrative purposes.
Authority for cooperation with differ
ent states is given and So, 600, 600 a year
is appropriated until 1915.

lead all breeds in rustling qualities il
is natural that they should also stand
first as regards health. constitution,
vigor and prepotency. Essentially an
outdoor breed, Herefords are the
healthiest cattle in the country. This
means resistance to the common dis
eases which make success with other
breeds difficult and in many cases i'm
possible.
Most strains of breeding produce as
good mixers as are found in any OF
the beef breeds. There are no milk

mixers because they have been highly
specialized to excel as beef types. and

a man wants more milk in a herd of
Herefords he can soon get It through
breeding; If he wants the highest type
of beef animal he can select 1t from
established herds.

like to give them warm slop every
morning For this purpose nothing Is
better than a feed cooker or a boiler
to heat the water. While some authori-
ties say that it does not pay to cook
feed, think any reasonable man can
see that warm slop will help young
hogs especially. And they will do
much better than on cold slop or dry
feed. One reason for this is, l think.
that hogs of any age do not drink
enough water during cold weather
Where the slop is warmed up the hogs
are glad to use more nearly the proper

produce the most economical gains.
Where a warm slop has been fed in

save very few cases, murders) was
during the year just closed, 1915, and
this was an increase of nearly nine
hundred over the number during the
year preceding. They also show that
of the perpetrators of these homicides
only one in eighty-six was capitally
punished, as against about one in
seventy-four the year preceding. The
number of murders in London last year
was nineteen, which in New York with
population approximately two millions
less the number of murders was 1856.
Competent students say that while
Belgium, probably on account of it's
mining population and bitter political
strifes, has a greater number of murders
than has any other part of Europe, save
perhaps lower italy and Sicily, the
number of murders in the United States,
compared with the number in Belgium,
is about 116 to IS; also that the number
of murders in the United States is to
the number in Great Britain as about
116 to 6. More than this, the number
of capital crimes in this country has for
many years been steadily increasing,
and is now increasing at greater rate
than is our population. The Chicago
Tribune shows that "the most significant
feature of these figures this year is the
increase in murders committed by thugs,
thieves, burglars and hold-up men, the
number being an increase of eighty
three over that by the same classes of
criminals in 1900." This has all been
told in substance before many times.
The statistics of 1910 are new; the
truths which they emphasize are not.

as the adult bees die from old age or
other causes the colony becomes de
pleted since there are not enough
young bees emerging to keep up the
numbers. When the colony becomes
weak bees from other colonies enter
to rob the honey, and the infection IL
spread.
Both of these diseases can be con
trolled with comparative ease by the
progressive beekeeper. but the chief
difficulty encountered in combating
these diseases is the fact that the ma
1ortty of beekeepers are unaware that
any such diseases exist. They therefore
often attribute their losses to other
sources and nothing is done to prevent
the spread of the infection. 1t is there

ment Several states have passed laws
providing for the inspection of apiaries
for disease. and the beekeepers In
other states are asking for the same
protection. so that careless or ignorant
beekeepers can be prevented from en-.
dangering their neighbours bees. This
inspection is benefit in the spread of
information concerning disease in so
far as the inspection can cover the ter
ritory. The department of agriculture
is helping in this work by sending out
publications to the beekeepers in in
fected regions by examining samples Of
brood suspected of disease and by
sending out information concerning
the presence of disease. so that bee
keepers will be informed that their
apiaries are in danger. the co-opera
ton of agricultural colleges. state bee
keepers associations and other similar
agencies being urged. Every person
Interested in Bookkeeping should find
out as soon as possible how to recog-
nize and treat these maladies and be
on the lookout for them. A publica-
ton containing discussion of the mat
ter will be sent on request by the de-
partment of agriculture.

FIGHTING BEE DISEASES.

Keeping Down Pests.

Work of Department OF Agriculture In
Keeping Down Pests.
The honeybce annually produces n
rrop of honey worth ut least $4,000
600, and there are vast opportunities
for increasing this output. The most
serious handicap to Bookkeeping in the
United States Is the fact that there
are contagious diseases which attack
the brood of the honeybee. There
are now recognized two such diseases,
known as American foul brood and
European foul brood. From data re-
Gently obtained by the United States
department of agriculture it is known
that American foul brood exists in 2S2
counties in thirty-seven states and Eu
ropean foul brood in 1G0 counties In
twenty four states, and 1t IS estimated
conservadvely that these diseases are
causing loss to the beekeepers Of
the United States of at least $1.00O,0O0
annually. This estimate is based on
the probable value of the colonies
which die and the approximate loss of
crop due TO the weakened condition Of
diseased colonies. The distribution of
these diseases is by no means fully
known, and they are constantly
spreading.
The cause of American foul brood
has been found by the department to
be a specific bacterium. and enough
is known of the cause and nature of
European foul brood, which is also a
bacterial disease. to make 1t possible
to issue reliable recommendations con-
corning treatment for both diseases.
Both attack the developing brood and

The problem is not how much
land you have. but how well you
cultivate it, Make the hay land
produce nine tons per acre. and
four or FIVE acres Of hay will be
enough. Make the corn land pro-

down the area to one-fourth. Do
the same with other crops, and you
will soon find that you have much
more land than you can possibly
