Peculiar Examples
of Judicial Wisdom

We read that an Indiana pure
food inspector purchased dirty milk
from dairyman and that the sell
Ter of the filthy product was prose-
cuted. At the trial. the attorneys
for the milk dealer argued that
their client was not guilty of viola
ting the law because it must be
shown that the milk was purchased
for human food, when as a matter
of fact, it was in this case pur-
chased for purposes of analysis.
The Judge before whom the case
came sustained the motion Of the
defendants attorney ard held that
the dairyman was not guilty OF an
offense under the Food and Drugs
Act.
This remarkable judicial wisdom
reminds the writer of a case tried
in the Federal court in Seattle a
few years ago. A postmaster for
a very sma office, when the salary
was then limited to the amount of
stamps cancelled, was put on trial
charged with fraudulently selling
more stamps than he had cancelled.
The late H. A. Fairchild defended
the prisoner. There was undeniable
evidence Of the defendants guilt.
MIR. Fairchild put up the plea that
his client was poor, honest man.
that he had not been properly in
structed by the postal department
that the postal officials should
have detected the fraud long be-
fore they did and told his client not
to do so, and after hours of evenly
divided opinions followed by fat
midnight supper the jury suddenly
agreed to Mr.. Falichild's version
and returned vel dict Of mot gull
ty."
This latter case reminds us of
another which two neighbors set
tied out of court. One of them
owned large pile of cordwood
standing not far from the others
house. 1t was disappearing myster-
iously. A detective was set to watch
it and detected the reighbor who
lived close by the wood pile in the
act Of carrying it home On bring
ing the two neighbors face to face
the thief, who by the way was a
sufferer, said:"Mr N-n-n-o-o-ble #

So" This humorous plea touched
Mr.. Mobiles funny bons" and he
forgave the culprit.

as An
Aid in Farming

we have been reading Scientific
American" and find that our land
scientists Enthusiastically have dem
onstrated that dynamite is the most
efficient substitute for the ak.
spade and the plow, plus the energy
of men and horses necessary to be
expended in their use. All that is
necessary is for the farmer and or
chardist to learn to handle the ex-
plosive. Familiarity with it will
soon teach them that its use is very
simple and that if proper precau-
tions are taken. no one need have
any more fear of working with dy-
Mantle than with gasoline, steam or
other similarly powerful agents,
But once command is acquired over
this agent, the working efficiency OF
the clearer of logged off land, the
farmer and the orchardist, is SO
much increased that the employ
ment Of many scores of hired men
and much expensive machinery
could not possibly give him an
equal advantage. Even the i'm
mensly increased economy which the
use Of dynamite in place of the or
binary working forces will give him
f is not the most important featcre
in which the farmer and orchardist
will realize incalcuble benefit from
the employment of d Mantle. The
explosion Of dynamite at certain
depths, feet below the point that il
is possible to plow, is the only way
to loosen up the soil so that the
roots can attain their best growth
and thus supply the plant or tree
with the adequate amount of moist.
ure and nourishment, making their
growth much more rapid, advancing
their bearing stage and increasing
the amount and quality of their
yield.
The use of dynamite will show
the orchardist that his trees thrive
better. grow stronger and healthisi
in blasted holes than in hand dug
holes, even if no "hara pan" exists

Preventive Medicine.
TYPHOID FEVER -Tvpho;

TYPHOID FEVER.-Typhoid few
er is a infectious disease caused by
the Typhoid bacillus which, entering
the body in food stuff, passes thru
the stomach into the intestines. Here
it grows and, when an opportunity
presents itself, passes through the
intestinal wall into the blood stream
by which it is carried to all parts of
the body. In this way the entire
body of the typhoid patient is teem-
ing with typhoid germs. All OF the
excreta, such as saliva, vomitus,
urine and feces contain typhoid
germs.
This infected excreta is means for
carrying the typhoid germs from the
patient to the outside world. In the
excreta the typhoid germs live from
few days to several months. Freez-
ing retards their growth but does
not kill them. Sunlight kills the
germ only when the germs are d.
rectly exposed. In the dried eNcre,a
germs may live from one to two
months. Owing to the resistance of
germs in excreta to cold and drNneSS
the excreta becomes menace to the
family Of the patient, to the neigh
bors and to the community.

LOSS IN THE STALK FIELDS
A. c. Page, University Of Missouri.
College Of Agriculture.

Time and again the story has been
told of the tremendous waste that
goes on every year in the stalk field
because only the grain is harvested.
Time and again the farmer who uses
such a system has been compared to
the prodigal son who has never
learned the price of dollar. Yet this
year again, it will be repeated-shis
offense of men against themselves,
Prof. C. H. Eckles of the Dairy De-
partment of the University of Mis-
souri, has said, 1.-THE farmer who
gathers his corn and allows the stalks
to stand waving in the winter winds
to dry and wither and finally to rot,
IL deliberately throwing away forty
cents of every dollars worth of corn
he has raised by hard labor"
For the grain is only about 90 per
cent of the value of the corn crop.
Wise MISUNDERSTANDING farmers
who have bank accounts and are in.
creasing them-have learned the truth
about this extra forty cents and are
saving it. They are using the silo or
the shredder. No better way has
been invented than packing away the
chopped up mature corn in an air
tight silo where 1t is ready to feed out
"a dollars worth of feed instead of
sixty cents worth.
Shredded fodder is not quite 80
good in most respects as silage. but it
is better than leaving the stalks in the
field to rot. 1t makes roughage
that works in well with some rations,
and some good can be gotten from it,

What has the result been?
Prosperity? Yes; II by prosper
ity you mean vast wealth, no

Their distributed at all or not: II
you mean vast enterprises built
up to be presently concentrated

lively small bodies Of men, who
can determine almost at pleas
ure whether there shall be COM
petition or not. The nation as
a nation has grown immensely
rich. She is justly proud Of her
industries and of the genius of
her men Of affairs. They can
master anything they set their
mind to, and we have been
greatly stimulated under their
leadership and command. Their
laurels are many and very
green. We must accord them
the great honors that are their
due, and we must preserve what
they have built up for US. But
what OF the other side of the
picture? 1t Is not easy for US
to live as 1t used to be. Our
money will not buy as much.
High wages, even when we can
} get them, yield us no great
comfort. We used to be better
off with less, because dollar
could buy SO much more. The
majority Of us have been dis
turbed to find ourselves grow
ing poorer, even though our
earnings were slowly increas-
ing. Prices climb faster than

LABOR AND THE RULE OF

The working people of Amer

that makes their hours of labor

gives them freedom to act in
their own interest and that pro-
