TRIED TO BRIBE MAGISTRATE
New York Bootblack offered Him q
Years Free Shines as Price
Ct Liberty.

A bold attempt to bride a city
magistrate and incidentally; clog the
wheels of justice happened recaitly
in the Essex Market police court.
Just how Magistrate Harris was able
to withstand the voice Of the tempt
er in view of the fact that dusty
weather is soon due is hard to un-
derstand.

to, who had been arrested along with
some forty others of his fellow boot
bootblacks on complaint of the bu-
reau of licenses for failing to have
their old licenses renewed.
"You mean that you will give me
free shines for a year If l let you
go?" inquired Magistrate Harris.
Palmetto assured the magistrate
that that was exactly what he did
mean and promised to come to the
court every day to do the job.
The magistrate, however, after in
forming the bootblacks that they
must procure new licenses and re-
ceiving their promises to do so, dis
charged them all. Palmetto wanted
to give the magistrate shine before
he left, but Magistrate Harris
couldn't stop the session--New

UNCLE SAM PAYS FOR ALL
Some Of the Luxuries That Are Sup
piled Free to Members OF
Congress.

'"To begin with, each member Of
congress receives $125 a session as
stationery allowance" writes Irwin
S. Cobb in Munseys. "He may be
a free and lavish correspondent or
a small and scanty one; just the
same he gets that S1S5. And takes
it. There is no record of a refusal.
"Every member has the free use
of the congressional baths and bar
Der shops under the capitol. He can
take nifty Turkish bath, a Rus
sian bath, a Roman bath, a needle
shower, or the plain, old-fashioned
Pike county style of bath, lying
down in the tub with both faucets
going; and it doesn't cost him a
cent. As often as he pleases he may
have shave, a haircut, a facial mas
sage, and be manicured all around,
as they say in parts of Iowa when
shoeing horse. Every other day he
can have the back of his neck shaved,
just as if he were going to some
large special function back home.

and provides the whole outfit"

GROWTH. OF DOMINION CITIES.

The statement that Vancouver has
now 115,000 population will serve
to show the tremendous growth Of
the west. Twenty years ago the
Citizen published the census figures
showing that Vancouver had a pop
ulation of $4,000 and commented on
the fact that in the ten years from
1881 to 1891 it had grown from
nothing to 10000. In the middle
west the figures are equally eloquent.
In Saskatchewan the city of Moose
Jaw in 1901 had some 1900 popula-
ton. Today it totals nearly 10000.
Saskatoon's population in 1901 was
less than 500. Today 1T boasts near
~ $4,000. Lembridge grew from
$500 in 1906 to $4,000 in 1911.-

INCREASING THE
YIELD OF GRASS
Among Four Chief Essentials are
Smooth Surface, Prepara.
kion, Good Seed and
Fertility.
(By r. B. RUsHING.)

Farmers who content themselves
with two tons or less cannot under
stand how yields of three or four tons
even more are obtained. There are
however, four chief essentials; a
smooth surface, with even, steady
grade, thorough preparation of the
soil, and abundance of good, healthy
seed and plenty of fertility and to
which might be added the proper
amount of moisture
Where land is stumpy or rocky, 1t
may be considerable expense to re-
move them, but to obtain the greatest
amount of grass it must be done. The
rocks must either be sunk or hauled
away and the surface smoothed 80 as
to give gentle grade A little de-
preston where the water can stand
may cause patch of grahss to die
out and a few patches will kill o
hundred pounds OF hay.
After this thorough grading the
land is thoroughly fitted. This does
not mean just plowed and narrowed
In the ordinary way. l prefer the use
of a cut-away disc, which does the
work just the opposite to the turning
plow
The continued working of the soil
with the cut-away clears the soil of
foul stuff and gives the new seeding
/. q chance. The soil should be worked
over with the cut-away and the
smoothing harrow many times, not
all at once. but continued through
July and August. In this way, when
ready to seed the soil is certainly as
fine as an ash heap
The seed then should be put on
carefully and accurately, SO as to have
every square inch of surface covered
thus having two blades of grass where
one formerly was
The question frequently asked is.
Why is this large amount of potash
necessary? No one who has ever
used fertilizers on grass need be told
that nitrogen gives the grass rich,
green color and makes It grow very
rapidly.

SALT NECESSARY
FOR ALL FOWLS
I'm Order To Guard Against Any
ID ffcfe1Cy It Is Well
to Feed for Lack Of
PaIatabi1AtJ

Salt in some quantity is a neces-
sity to the living animal Some food
contains all that is probably needed,
but the amount IN others is small.
In order to guard against any pos
sible deficiency it is well to feed some
salt. especially II 1t increases che
palatability of the ration.
Moderate quantitier O. salt had
been fed to poultry with apparent ad-
vantage. but he limitations OF its
use were not known. A feeding trial
was therefore made with twelve
hens to get some suggestion as to the
approximate limit of its safe feeding
to mature fowls For one lot of hens
salt was mixed in the food, increasing
In amount by periods of feeding. I'm
til it was fed a. the rate of .063
ounces per day, per fowl (nearly one
half pint per day for 100 hens) no
bad effects were noticed.
With this amount. however, diar-
rhoea attacked few OF the hens, but
the trouble disappeared when the
dhhOubt VI cdAt III tAC AOOu vac g
duced about one-third. When the
hens we're allowed free access to
boxes of course barrel salt, not
enough was eaten to show any i'll eff
feet. either by hens that had been fed
salt freely for two months or by those
that had been without any for the
same time 3
Little significance was attached to
the egg yield from the old hens fed
at an unproductive time OF year, but
twice as many eggs were obtained
from the salt-fed hens as from the
others so there was no indication of
unfavorable effect in this direction
When reporting the experiment it
was suggested that salt at the rate Of
one ounce per day for 100 matured
fowls could be fed without risk. In
later feeding It was found that five
ounces of salt in every 100 pounds
of food was safe proportion. The
station has not advised the feeding
Of any salt to young chicks or until
they are two or three months old.

IMPORTANCE OF DISINFECTINC
AFTER OUTBREAK OF DISEASE
practice Not Entirely
Thur Is Also Laek Of Information Concerning
Practical and Economical Methods OF
Procedure Cleaning

accustomed to the work, disinfection
may seem most complicated proc
ess. Any approved method. however,
is comparatively simple when carried
out carefully, although like many
another procedure 1t is one in which
attention to details counts for much.
II is important to bear in mind that
the causatiye agents of many dis
eases are extremely small and may
remain for an indefinite time In dust,
cracks, and crevices of buildings, so
that efforts aiming at the eradication
Of disease from contaminated prem
ises must be thorough in order to be
effective.
In the work of disinfection nature
has provided man with a most valu-
able ally-suniight. 1t is well known
that the direct rays of the sun are
destructive to many forms OF bac-
terra, in some cases destroying them
and In others Iessenlng their infiu-
ence. Thus the Importance OF we'll
lighted stables is evident The dark
and sunless building will be favor
able breeding place for bacteria, and
the structure which admits the great
est amount of sunlight Will be the
least favorable for their development.
Again, heat will destroy the bacteria
of disease. By this is not meant the
ordinary heat Of the sun. but heat as
developed in boiling water or In
flame It is upon this principle that
the surgeon before operating renders
his instruments free from the posi-
BILE presence of bacteria by boiling,
and it is heat which renders a Jet OF
live steam destructive to bacteria
Sunlight, however. cannot be consid-
cred more than an accessory in the
destruction of bacteria. while the ap-
plication Of heat in the form Of steam
or flame is seldom possible. The re-
suit is that in the practical work OF
disinfection we are dependent upon
certain drugs. which have power to
destroy the organisms of disease.
Such drugs are known as disin-
lectants, and, fortunately. we have at
hand number that possess the pow
er OF destroying bacteria.
Bichlorid of mercury also known as
corrosive subIimate and mercuric
Chord, Chord of lime, Tornado
hyde. carbolic acid, crude carbolic
acid. cresol, and compound solution OF
cresol, are such drugs. They have
only to be brought in contact with
the bacteria in order to destroy them.
Before either of the above are
used, however, the farmer should
study their peculiar characteristics
and use the one best suited to his
purpose. Violent poison should not
be used unless the user of the dis
infectant is familiar with 1t and Its
results.
In the practical work Of disinfec-
ton there are three essentials:
1. A preparation OF the building
that will facilitate reaching organisms
Of disease.
2. A disinfectant which upon con-
tact can be depended upon to destroy
such organisms.
8. A method of applying the dis
infectant that will assure the most
thorough contact with the bacteria.

HEAD Of IMPORTANT DIVISION

Wisconsin's university extension
division has two fundamental aims
to create in all the people realiza-
ton of their educational need and to
satisfy that need Education by lex
tension" does not mean that the labor
ing man is taught Greek and Chaucer,
regardless CT his individual want. 1t
does not mean that knowledge Is
ground out to him by soulless ma
chine, but that he Is stimulated to
live. in the true sense OF the WORD.
Whether the means of that stimula-
ton be vocational or cultural educa-
ton, the end sought is the same.
In Wisconsin the seemingly impos-
sible task of making the university a
personal friend of every one in the
state is attempted by means Of we'll
developed organization, headed by DR..
