Treat the Horse Right
(Horse WORLDLY

l6OrSe WOrlQ.)
The horse, mans best friend. is not
always subjected to the treatment his
usefulness warrants. This is not al
ways due to wanton cruelty, but often
to lack Of understanding or care
lessness on the part of the driver. 1t
has been demonstrated time and again
that certain drivers will do more work
with a team, on less feed, and keep
the horses looking better, than other
drivers will on far more feed, doing
less work. Why? Simply better treat
ment. The work horse requires regu-
larity in all things. He must be fed a
certain quantity at a certain time each
day of the week. He must be watered
just as regularly. He must be eurried
and cleaned, not once a week, but each
day in the week, preferably twice. He
must have regular hours of work, and a
reasonably steady gait at which to do
it. The smart walk is the easiest gait
for the draft horse. Slow, sluggish,
heavy-going horses make the load they
are pulling steady drag, whereas a
good snappy walk does not tire them
nearly so much. Heavily-loaded horses

A RECORD OF BLOOD
By BISHOP W. A. GAMBLER,

In a recent address Senator Borah
of Idaho said: I'VE are even now, in
our youth. the most lawless Of any of
the great civilized countries" This
startling charge against use as a ma
ton seems justified by the record which
in recent years We have made in the
matter of homicides.
The rate of homicide in this country
6.5 for every 100000, while in Great
Britain 1t is only 90 per 100000; or
there are seven times as many killings
a year in the United States as there are
in the British Isles. What is most
alarming is that the homicide rate is
rising rapidly in this nation. From 1882
to 1892 the average was FIVE homicides
a year for every 100000 people; from
1892 to 1902 the rate dropped to little
less than FIVE for every 100000. In the
last ten years the rate per year mas
gone above nomicides per 100000
OF population; and during the last year
the rate was more than in each 1OO'-

The following figures show the record
for thirty cities, included in what is
called "the registration area:

Kafr as Good as Corn

Kahr is as good feed as corn. Be
cause farmers are learning this kafr
has become one of the most important
crops grown in Kansas today. The
grain is valued highly as a feed for all
classes Of live stock. In feeding, five
bushels of kafr seed are considered
as being equivalent to four bushels of
shelled corn. 1t should be ground for
all classes of live stock. excepting poul-
try, as it is so hard that they do not
masticate it thoroughly If it is fed
whole. 1t should never be fed wet.
silage made from kafr excels corn
silage as a feed, as the percentage of
grain and leaf to stalk is much higher
in the kaf1r. The same thing is true
in regard to kafr fodder and corn
slower.
Some of the farmers over the state
cut their kafir with a corn binder.
They then cut the heads off with a
knife, similar to a tobacco cutter, only
much larger, which is attached to the
side of a wagon box. The heads are
allowed to fall into the wagon box
and are then threshed. The fodder
which is left is excellent feed. Some
persons have advocated the feeding
of this fodder to horses suffering from
the heaves, but DR.. c. w. McCampbell,
assistant professor of animal husbandry
at the Kansas Agricultural college, says
that it has no more value for this pur-
pose than any other similar feed

Save the Dead Leaves

Don't waste the dead leaves; don't
turn them. They are excellent mate
rial for composts and leaf moulds.
Every leaf fire you've smelled. this
month, was destroying something that
every gardener should save.
compost is a mixture of bulky
fertilizing material. useful to the gar
dener for enriching the soil. 1t is
made of coarse manures, sods. weeds,
dead leaves, and all rubbish available.
These materials are piled together in
big, fiat heap and allowed to rot.
This requires about two years. Chem
ical fertilizers may be added to make
the compost richer. if desired. The
mass must be forked and spaded oc-
casionally and moistened with water
or liquid manure during dry weather.
The final product is a homogeneous
mass that can be applied to the soil
in large or small amounts and with
out danger to 1t.
The plant food in composts is easily
assimilated by the plants. Garden
plants, usually, must make their
growth in a short time, anc any ma
terial from which they can assimilate
food easily is what they need.
Leaf mould is used In potting trop-
ical plants, as ferns. 1t does not con-
tain much plant food, but it is very
good to open up the soil and make
it porous. The best way to make leaf
moulds, according to NJ. F. Ahearn, as
sistant professor of Horticulture at the
Kansas Agricultural college. is to dig
hole or trench in the ground and pile
the leaves in it. The mass must be
watered frequently and turned over.
Two years are required for complete
rotting. The mould is mixed with the
soil before it is applied. Usually one
part mould to three or four parts OF
soil is the proper proportion.-The
Kansas Industrialist.

BILE
What is the cause of such Iawless-
ness? What is the remedy for the evilg
Some in answer to these questions
will be quick to lay the blame upon the
Judges in our courts. 1t is the fashion
we bear We have serious proposals
urged for the recall Of judges, and even
the recall OF judicial decisions.
But the fault is not primarily or
chiefly with the judges. Doubtless
there are corrupt judges in the land;
but careful investigation will disclose
the fact that our judiciary is the purest
branch of our governmental service.
There are more corrupt juries than
there are corrupt judges. What can a
Judge do when a perJured or purchased
jury turns loose upon the community a
red-handed murderer, as Jurtes often
do?
We. the people, compose the juries;
and not a few men, who serve on
juries. will not convict violator of a
law which they do not like nor find a
verdict against criminal whom they
do like. In some places in Georgia
juries nuIlify our prohibition laws and
other statutes with perfect impunity,
and for no other reason than that they
do not think he should have these laws.
We may be sure that such lawlessness
I'm the jury box will produce all sorts
of lawlessness in the streets and high
ways
What we need most to do is not to
rebuke the judges for imaginary sins,
but to repent ourselves for our own evil
deeds. A higher public sentiment is
needed with reference to the observance
of all laws and especially with refer
ence to the laws which are designed
to protect human life. More respect
should be paid TO our written laws and
less regard should be had for all sorts
Of so-called ''unwritten laws" When
we set aside written laws to make room
for unwritten laws we perpetrate an
archy in response to an atmospheric an
tagonism TO the sacred statutes which
have been ordained for the suppression
Of crime and the protection of life. We
must purify this anarchistic atmosphere
which has been contaminated by a de-
based public opinion. We must recall
our low standards of public morality.
Generally our courts are really better
than the people who censure them. All
the people must bear the blame of our
widespread lamlessness.
Among the people there is a particular

JACK JoHNson-rHE PUarLIsT.

I abhored the white boxer, who al
lowed Jack Johnson to beat him. and to
be frank I wished he had died before
he thus debased his race and color.
did not blame the negro boxer. because
the white pugilist should have kept
away from him. and it will be remem-
bered that Jacks picture is perhaps the
most popular seller among his race. ever
known to these United States. that is
covered with pictures of all sizes and
all qualities.
But the story of Jack Johnsons ex-
posed Illicit relations with young white
women has made the very mention Of
his name particularly abhorrent. not only
in the south, but north. east and west.
The publicity that has been given to
the Cameron girl and her mothers vain
struggles to free her child from the
tolls OF the blacl- pugilist have filled
the newspapers from ocean to ocean. Tt
Is safe to say that it has done more
to fan the flames of race prejudice than
any other occurrence in this era Of our
history. II has made II more active
and pronounced in all sections of the
union.
We all recOllect the indignation which
arose when a White House president re-
ceived Fred Douglass and his white
wife as guests for a week, but the
white woman he married had once been
teacher OF the lady of the White
House. and the north and west accepted
Fred Douglass as they have done Booker
Washington as very superior specimens
Of the African race
Both OF them were also mulattoes,
while Jack Johnson is inky black. The
pugilist fancies white women for his
paramours, and his control over them
seems 20 be unlimited. These things
are working like leaven In the public
mind. How long before a crisis is
reached, and an explosion occurs. be-
longs to the unknown future. That it
will come. nobody doubts.
Is there craftsmanship enough in
these United States to meet the situa-
ton? or all the wars known to the
human race. the wars of races are most
deadly. 1t is a pity there ever was a
boxing match, TO bring Jack Johnson
into the front.

OFFER THE BnLP
II there is to be peace and harmony
among the races north and south, ehere
must be harmony: and this harmony
depends on the absence OF political fric-
ton between them. There are sup
posed to be one hundred millions of
people now living in the United states.
OF these there are a great number of
Cinnamon and japanese, as well as
those OF African blood. OF the latter
there are ten millions.
In the south, perhaps. there are
three-fourths OF the number. But they
have emigrated I'm large numbers to
northern states. In Pennsylvania
alone. there were two hundred thou
sand at the lats census, eighty thou
sand in the ity Of Philadelphia. Wher-
ever the. go in considerable numbers.
theer is race friction; and the prob
lem OF harmony is very serious one

The Indians were colonized to pre-
vent lac disturbance. The Chinese
were deported under the abrogation or
the Burlingame treaty. which was made
with China. and which secured to the
yellow man in America the same priv
ileges allowed to the white man in
China
In abrogating this treaty, the Chi
nese were even denied the right to
come over as Iaborers II was a dismal
chapter in Pacific coast history when
the Dennis Kearney politicians of Cali
fornia turned their political wrath on

prophetic vision can influence my opin-
ion. that theer must be a oofor line
in the United States OF America. Not
only for the peace of the country, but
for the safety of the colored races.
There are but three possibilities in
dealing with alien races. Colonization,
miscegination or determination. Neither
will work at the present time, so the
next best thing and the only thing
that will endure, is a color line in our
politics. A general law, requiring
