GOING TO HIGHEST COURT
Government Appeals the Case
of United Shoe Machinery
Company.

BOSTON, March 30.-A bill Of excep-
tons asked by the federal govern
ment In the criminal proceedings
against the five officials of the United
Shoe Machinery Company has been al
lowed by Judge Putnam of the United
States district court. The writ of
error on which the case proceeds to
the United States Supreme Court was
signed today. There are ten assign
ments of errors
Arguments before the high court
may take place before the summer va
cation.
Seeks to Restore Counts.
The defendants are Sidney w. Wins
low, e. p. Hurd, e. P. Howe, George
w. Brown and William Barbour. It is
the desire of the government to have
restored the counts to which demur-
rers were sustained by Judge Putnam.
1t is charged in these counts that the
defendants entered into conspiracy
of combination and restraint of trade
in violation of the Sherman act.
Nine File Demurrers.
Nine of the defendant corporations
named in the governments suit for
the dissolution of the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company filed demurrers to-
day. They deny that there is an unlaw-
full combination maintained through
their business relations with the Unit
ed Shoe Machinery Company
No date has been set for hearing on
the demurrers

| production OF meat. Only such uni.
formity Of color and minor points are
demanded as will serve to distinguish
the breed and give uniformity OF ap-
pearance. The standards adopted b3
breeders OF this class Of animals give
relatively small consideration to fancy
points, whereas poultry breeders con.
slider about one-half Of the value OF
their birds to depend on color OF
feathers alone, while the judgment
of shape Is based upon the outline
produced by the feathers and not on
the true body shape. The standard
bred poultry fanciers have not been
mainly concerned In producing breeds
OF chickens for the use OF the farmer
or practical grower, as have been the
breeders OF cattle and swine. Men

neither do animals wholly worthless
from other standpoints receive much
attention from breeders. But the hen,
variable in form and color. inexpen.
sive to secure. readily reared and
capable OF producing In brief time
large numbers OF offspring, and yet
withal capable OF paying her way In
food products has rendered possible
the development OF the fancy or stan
dard.bred chicken business into the
most universal and important fancy or
artistic,breeding business In the world.
From the attention that has been
given to the breeding OF poultry for
the show room. many people wrongly
infer that standardized poultry is no
better than mongrel stock for com.
mercial purposes.
The mongrel chicken Is production
OF chance. Its ancestry represents
everything available In the barnyards
of the neighborhood. and its offspring
will be equally varied. In the pure
breeds there has been rigid selection
practiced that gives uniform appear.

The size and shape requirements OF
the standard. although not based on
the market demands, comes much
nearer producing an ideal carcass than
does chance breeding. Ability to ma.
ture for the fall and winter shows is a
decidedly practical quality that the
iancier breeds into his chickens.
Moreover. poultry breeders. while still
keeping standard points in mind, have
also made improvements In the laying
and meat-producing qualities OF their
chickens. Considering these facts. 1t
is an enormous idea to think that
mongrel chickens offer any advantage
over pure-bred stock for meat or for
eggs.

FARM VALUES MIKE SHOWING
Aggregate Values Of Land In Arid and
semIArld Regions Have Made
Remarkable Advance.

The arid and semi.arid regions
make q remarkable showing In farm
values. according to the United States
census. A bulletin isued by the cen
sus bureau shows that the aggregate
value Of farm land in the sections
named Is $10,4ss. .000.0 900. This enor.
nous value is all the more remarkable
because Of the contrast with tho
S3,249, 100000 indicated by the census
Of 1900. The value Of farm land In
the arid and semi-arid regions In 1910
was nearly half that Of all farm land
In the United States ten years before
that year. Whether values Of this
kind In other parts Of the country In
creased In the same proportion or not.
II Is evident that they made a big nd.
vance, and from It all one may form
an idea Of the vast growth In the
country's wealth from this source.

STOP ESCAPE, OF MOISTURE
Farmer In seml.AriJ Regions Should
Use Every Endeavor to Prevent
e., Evaporation Of Water.

[. The escape OF moisture. not the
Mck Of Il is what has done the 80
called& q west the greater harm.
Todny We passed q spot where two
men were digging cellar. Ills in q
very dry coantrx where all crops must
be irrigated. and the subsoil. after go
Ing down foot or two. IL almost az
hard as rock and has to be loosened
BY a'akrp pick or by dynamite.
Across this cellar soil an oil road had
BEEN made which formed perfectly
impe{ iouy crust two or three inches
deep. sThrough this oil crust no mois-
ture could by any possibility go to
the soil beneath It. and on the other
hand not a particle OF moisture could
escape from the soil under 1t into the
air above. As the men slowly dug In.
to the flinty dry subsoil. Just beside
this hard waterproof surface they, re-
marked that when they got under the
road where no rain moisture could BY
any possibility come they feared Il
would be like rock Curious to see u
Just the opposite snight not prove to
be the case. the writer with sharp
pick succeeded In barring good strip
Of the soil under the oil road. To the
surprise Of the diggers. both soil and
subsoil yNder this air-tight covering
was so moist that 1t could be spaded
readily with but very little use Of the
pick.
We cannot cover our farms with an
alright protector. but In every way.
in our power Ne ,pould shut Oh evap-
Grafton. The higd winds. the dry air
and the hot sun all combine to take
the moisture from our soil Just when
we need It most.
That Is. one great reason why tho
forest condition brought about BY the
cool shady protection Of the corn field.
leaves our corn land with 20 much
more moisture in It than open road
ways or grain fields.
The cultivation. too. tends to take
the place Of the oiled roadway. For
this reason. too. our grains should be
put In early and as soon as possible b
made to shade and protect the surface
soil.
The same principle is involved when
on some soils some seasons the grain
does so much better for being lightly
narrowed when two. inches or 50 high.
It Is why lightly disked or sharply har-
rowed stubble land grows better corn
or grain II thus treated the moment
the snow is off. Anything and every.
thing that will tend to prevent the es-
cape Of subsoil moisture will tend just
as strongly to give US good crop and
a certain one. Evaporation should be
headed of in every way In our power.
1t Is like letting our money run to
waste to let our soil moisture get away
from US. Fs..

Sweet corn Is one OF the very best

Just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she

For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi

doctors themselves sometimes forget

Ihad rsed coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe 1t was injurins
me although had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains CAT
feine-the same drug found In coffee
and Is Just as harmful a. coffee.)
Finally one day q severe and al.
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee. using Postum instead. and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one OF
two occasions when I tried small
quantity Of coffee. which caused severe
irritation and proved to me l must lot
It alone.
"wben we began using Postum Il
