Since the cows use considerable

Leaving the cows teats damp after

What trouble this causes at milking

the teats thoroughly.
Failing to bed the cows well every

The New Women of Switzerland.

The women of Switzerland must
surely be the envy of their sex
throughout the world. On Jan. ! new
civil laws came into force in Switzer-
land, which bestowed great privileges
upon the weaker sex. Indeed. with
the exception of the vote, Swiss Wo-
man is almost as free as man. but
she cannot vote, even on municipal
affairs. Even if married, Swiss Wo-
man can now legally own property,
and she can be sole legal guardian II
her children if her husband dies. She
may herself choose the form of mar
rage contract which she wishes to Do
drawn up: can be separated from her
husband, and not merely divorced as
formerly: can claim divorce on exact
ly the same grounds as a man, anos
can make legal will without the con-
sent of either her husband or children.
She cannot however. marry legally
till the age of eighteen, whereas be
fore she could marry at sixteen. She
can bring an action for breach of
promise, and if her husband becomes
hopelessly insane can divorce him.
Moreover. if he drinks and wastes his
earnings. she can claim that they shall
be paid to her direct.

starlinas WORKING Southwark.

Reports received at the department

Der Of years ago.. and there 1t has been

Its only redeeming feature is that 1t is

Value of Barley.

Answering correspondent as to the
comparative value of barley with oats
and other grains. Wallace's Farmer
says:
1T is a fact that on average corn belt
land barley will return more feeding
value per acre than either oats or
spring wheat"
On the Hoard's Dairyman farm we
have grown barley for twelve years
and for the last five years have grown
no oats whatever. ANY farmer who
will try barley on average clay land
we think will find that in actual dol
lars worth the barley far exceeds the
oats in return. One mistake very many
farmers make is in using too much
seed Barley needs thin seeding so that
it will stool well and have a free cir
Iculation of air. 1t responds well to
frequent applications of phosphate.

A PLEA Fos MRS. ADCoGK

In the Shreveport Times, of Feb
ruary go, in the e0iann of Letters
from the People is a plea for Mrs.
Adcock signed by "A Woman.
The woman whose name is reser-
we'd from publicity, is unquestion-
ably one of the fair sex whose sym
pathy is not maudisn, but is practl-
cal and substantial and is evoked
from the depths of the heart.
There is nothing SO easy as to
damn a woman, especially if ignor-
ant poor and friendless.
In the plea for Mrs. Adcoek, A
Woman" recalls the tragedy enacted
at the freight depot of the Y. S. q P.
which resulted in the acquital of the
woman who killed her paramour.
This woman had deserted her hus-
band and her children in Mississippi.
For this woman there was exhibited
an unlimited range OF maudlin sen
timent.
Under the law this woman's crime
was murder She shot and killed her
paramount without giving him a
mad dogs chance for his life.
The only extenuation offered for
this murder was that she had been
mistreated by her paramount, who
had threatened to abandon her.
What of Mrs. Adcock?
Is she guilty of any crime, except
to have yielded to some seducer, by
whom she was abandoned in her
hour of extremity?
The child which she admits that
she concealed under the floor of
an clubhouse of one of her rela-.
tives' place, was born alive under
the most agrevating and most hor-
rible of conditions. She was I'M
attended by physician and alone,
exposed to the most rigid of
an inclement night when people
comfortably situated suffered from
the effect of the cold, clustering
weather.
Is it surprising that the infant
died after il had drawn few
breaths.
rs it surprising that Mrs. Adeoek,
realizing that her babe being dead,
that she should conceal it.
Is it not reasonable to think that
if the child had lived that she would
have cared for it with all the love
and devotion which springs from
the heart of mother.
Her condition preceding her ex-
tremity was sufficient to the eye
to fasten upon her the guilt of
shame. but the mother instinct was
there. Why should she murder her
child?
Where is The proof of the act2
Why should Mrs. Adcoek be held
accountable to law when there is
no evidence Of crime, and when she
has admitted that the child breathed
little while after it was born, but
when she realized that it was dead,
that with one supreme effort, she
look it and placed it under the floor
of an clubhouse on the premises of
one of her relatives.
Why not give the woman her
freedom?
If such woman as the one who
killed her paramour at the Y. S. &
P. freight depot was guiltless and
secured her acquittal through a
maualin sentiment, why should a
oopr, ignorant. friendless woman as
is Mrs. Adcock be held in custody
and be called to trial Tor q crime
poor, ignorant. friendless woman as
consideration she is guiltless.
