been caused by such lack of care and

BOYS OFTEN LEAVE FARM
Hccnuse Fathers Don't Let Them Hny,
Any Real Money.

In the current issue OF Farm and Fire.
side, contributor tells a number Of
stories showing why boys leave the farm.
Following Is one of the CAGES reported:
Just the other day met a stalwart
young fellow whose every appearance
would indicate that he was a son Of tina
soil Six years ago ne left the old home.
At that time he had very little ed ucation,
but by steady, industrious labor he haA
won out and to-day Is . promising
Young lawyer He told me that tho frs-
year he left the farm he obtained en-
ployment In a nlachire-shop at what
seemed to his mind a large sum OF mon
ey, s12 a week He worked hard for near
~ three months, when one day he re-
ceived n telegram from his father, asking
hun to return at once. Having left
delicate little mother, he rushed home
with all haste. fearing to find some grea,
trouble at the end of his journey. HI.
father met him at the station and calmly
explained that his hired man had left
and he could not get his hay in alone. Ny
Young hero. not dailnted In the least.
pointed out to his father that he had
given up his position to return home and
asked what pay he was to receive for his
work The father promised n certain
small sum. After two months hard work
the son asked for money TO buy suit OF
clothes, which was given to him AT the
end of the season, when the young man
wanted a final settlement, he was put on
from time to time and at last went away
to the city with an empty pocket and a
heart full Of resentment"

POINT OF LAW INVOLVED.
George Label Sentenced to 30 DAYS
and Appeal Entered.

George LABEL, who was arrested near
st. Mays Cathedral on January by
Police Officer Thomas Collins for as
saulting a woman. was brought into city
court Thursday afternoon and sentenced
to spend 81 days in the county Jail on a
charge of open and gross lewdness At
torney V. a. Billiard. who had charge
Of the defense. Immediately raised OBJ
Jections and entered an appeal to county
court
LABEL was brought into city court on
January C. two days after his arrest. but
Judge Palmer did not believe that It was
IN his jurisdiction to sentence the man
and therefore bound him over to county
court in the amount of $500 ball which
could not be furnished, so that LABEL
has since been in jail. 1t has since been
found. however. that the Judge in city
court had the power to impose a sentence
and he was therefore brought Thurs
day to receive the penalty. although
he did not plead guilty to an information
filed against him.
Mr.. Bullard claimed that when Judge
Palmer bound LABEL over TO county court.
the prisoner passed out Of his jurisdlc-
ton and that therefore he could not sem
tencc him al the present time. It was
plain. however that II cne prisoner were
taken to county court. the defense would
claim that he was being placed in
Jeopardy twice for the same offence and
ask for his acquittal. Mr.. Billiard furth-
er commended that as LABEL had not been
found guilty at his trial he was Illegally
imprisoned and should at once be liber-
ated
Much legal knowledge was aired and a
number of cases cited and the court held
to his old course and sentenced LABEL
to the 90 days. AS a reason for the short
sentence, Judge Palmer cited the fact
that the prisoner had already been in
Jail nearly three months. Mr. Billiard
entered two objections, first, that the
prisoner had been Illegally imprisoned in
the first place and. second. that the
court had no right at the present time
to impose a sentence.
The objections We're allowed by the
court and an appeal was entered.

LONG TERM FOR PLOOP
Sentenced to States Prison for
Period Of II to 10 Years.
Case May TIC Taken 10 Supreme Court
on a Question Relative to the In
sanity Defense ana . Physi-
cal Examination.

Joseph Pioof. who was convicted in
county cour. of assault with a dangerous
weapon. with intent to kill Police Officer
Christopher Miles on June 1G. 1911, was
sentenced Thursday by Judge Miles to
serve not less than II nor more than 10
years at hard labor in the States prison
at windsor.
States Attorney X. y. Shaw in moving
for sentence said he though: froofs SEN
tence should be long enough to serve as a
punishment for the crime an. o deter
others. He reminded the court OF the
frequency of murderous assaults on tho
local police, and mentioned a number of
cases during the past few years whore
officers had been attacked. Attorney v.
A. Billiard, who represented P1oof. said
no aid not think the court should con-
slider the other cases in sentencing Pioof,
but should consider rather what Ploor g
life had been prior to the shooting and
the possible doubt concerning the man s
sanity. Ploof, when asked II he had any
thing to say before sentence was passed,
shook his head.
Mr.. Billiard stated yesterday that he
should take the Ploor case to the supreme
court on question relativc to the in
sanity defense. This question is whether
a person against whom there Is a criminal
charge who Is sent to the State hospital
for observation shall be subjected to Il
physical examination. tho legal point be-
ing whether by such examination he ia
not being compelled to furnish evidence
against himself During the Ploof trial
Mr.. Billiard examined Or. WATSON of
the hospital very closely on this point
to ascertain whether Ploof had been sub
Jected to physical examination. and
whether such examination had not been
taken into account in arriving at de-
cision as to whether the man was sane
or insane

FARM MANAGEMENT.

w. NJ. Lock, who lives on Lock.
land Farm, southwest Of Mexico,
told of what he is doing in farm
management at Columbia Farm
ers' Week.
"The results are far greater
than | had dared hope for IN
double the time" he said. Since
farm management has taken a
hold, the path has become much
smoother"
In 1909 the farm produced
S415.70. This was before he was
visited by Mr.. Doane. The pro
duct for 1910, when farm man
agement was just taking hold, as
he said, was 1904, and last year
$1068 was realized. This was on
sc acres of land.
He has done this not by grow.
ing corn on every acre of ground
as is sometimes thought to be the
only way to make money, but by
growing more leguminous crops
clover, cowpeas and soybeans. BY
sowing rape on three acres of oat
stubble and cowpeas in five acres
of corn and "hogging" it all
down, he sold 1851 worth of hogs
which received only 300 bushels
of corn. Regarding this method
he said:
81 believe the cowpeas and
rape in these fields were the
equivalent of all the corn fed.
In forty days, his shoats gained
60 pounds each. running on the
forage and corn.
