of the women's prison, and even visits
from relatives will be confined as
much as possible to women relatives.
The government now pays the vari.

federal prisoners are kept a stated
sum for their board. These women
generally have been convicted Of viola.
tons Of the postal or revenue laws,
counterfeiting, white slavery and, in
some instances, assault or murder.
While their new prison will be under
the control of the warden Of the Unit

superintendent. No guards, strictly
speaking, will be necessary, but there
will be several women warders, whose

the nature of forewomen.

volve the making of bed clothing, ia

they are buying In the way Of cloth

Is mentioned; each bolt Of goods is
weighed, and II 1t falls short Of the
proper weight 1t is thrown out. Next
the question of wear and tear Is con-

stated that each special kind Of cloth

weighing the next test is to cut a sam

Ing OF a dairy herd to produce profits

sition to put to a man at the present

the only way to produce butter fat at

Increasing the efficiency of home
grown dairy foods.
The feeding value OF our home
grown foods will depend largely upon
their ~palatability. BY feeding o
variety Of feeds we make our rations
more appetizing and palatable than a
few foods.
Ensilage and roots are more paIat-
able than dry folders. Cows that
are fed these appetizing feeds with
clover hay will eat more hay than
when confined to clover alone.

WILL NAME MANY JUDGES
BREWER WILL MAKE 80 JUDICIAL
APPOINTMENTS.
No Larger List Has Ever Fallen to the
Lot Of . Governor-1si4 Will Be
Biggest Year.

Jackson.-When Governor-elect Earl
Brewer enters upon the duties OF his
four years administration he will be
confronted by a judiciary condition
which has faced no other governor OF
Mississippi. Gov. Brewer, if he serves
out his term, before its expiration, will,
in the ordinary course of events have
the appointment of seventeen circuit
judges and ten chancellors, and, in addi-
ton, two supreme court judges. Accord
ing to the official list in report OF the
state, there will be a supreme court va
cancy during 1912, which will be the
seat now occupied by Justice Mclean, for
the northern district. In addition to this
position on the bench, according to the
same authority, the term of Judge John
L. Buckley, in the Tenth district, and
Judge George A. Mclean, in the Fifth,
will expire, the former August 3, 1912,
and the latter on September %, 1912.
Unless there should be designations,
or vacancies from any other cause, there
will be no other circuit judges to be ap-
pointed until 1918, during which year
Judges Mitchell of the First, and Cashin
Of the Fourth will complete their terms.
The terms of three of the chancellors
will run out during 1912, namely, Chan
cellors Denton Of the Seventh, on May /,
Woods of the Eighth, on June 1, and
Whitman Of the Second, on December 6.
The biggest list Of judicial appoint
ments will fall during 1914, or the third
year of the Brewer term, when eleven
circuit bench commissions will expire
and five chancellors will have reached the
end of their four years of service. The
terms of five of the circuit judges and
two chancellors will expire on May 1,
1914, these having been appointed when
the acts of 1910 charging the Judiciary
went into effect. These are Judges Paul
B. johnson of the Twelfth, W. Il. Hughes
of the Thirteenth, d. M. Miller of the
Fourteenth, A. E. Weathersby Of the
Fifteenth, Thomas B. Carroll of the Six
teenth and N. A. Taylor of the Seven
teenth.
The term of Chancellor Robbins Of the
First district will expire January. /
1914; E. N. Thomas of the Ninth, May I
and R. s. Shelby of the same date;
while that of G. G. Lyell of the Fifth will
end May 10, 1914.
The only present members Of the
bench who, if they live and retain theil
commissions, will officially outlive the
incoming administration, will be Asso
ciate Justice Sidney M. Smith Of the
supreme court and the two commission
ers-Frank A. McLain and A. H. Whit
