Quaint Oaths.

The first appearance in an English
divorce court OF the Chinese form OF
oath by breaking saucer recalls 9th
er quaint forms Of swearing.
In Assam the oath is taken by stand
ing within a rope circle, to imply q
wish to rot as the rope does II the
swearer does not tell the truth. In
lawsuits between Russians and the
Ostiaks Of Siberia bears head Is
brought into court, and the Ostiak,
making the gesture OF eating. calls
on the bear to devour him II he lies.
There are tribes Of India that swear
by the head Of a tiger. while others
chop a dog in two as emblemauc OF
the fate Of the perjurer. But the sim
plest method is that Of the Quaker,
who swears not at all, but just tells
what he thinks.

PLANS TO UTILIZE coNvlcTs.
Labor Commissioner Suggests Con
struction Of Highways.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 6.-Ihe
employment of state convicts in the
building of highways and in the man
ufacture Of clothing, furniture and
supplies used in conducting state de
partments and institutions is suggest
ed by Charles Daugherty state labor
commissioner, in his annual report
to Gov. Cruce The commissioner al
50 says he would not object to tina
proposed plan of permitting the con-
victs to assist farmers of the state
in irrigation projects, provided their
services would be furnished free OF
cost to the farmer.
The report states that the question
OF what to do with oklahoma conyicts
has attracted considerable attention
in view of the constitutional inhibi-
ton against contract prison labor and
working convicts in mines, and that
the plan of donating this labor to the
farmer would meet ready response
in some localities but arouse intense
rivalry from sections that could not
be served in this way.
Commissioner Daugherty cites the
example of Colorado, which has used
its convicts in constructing public
highways with much success, the re-
port of the prison warden of that
state showing that $4,000 was saved
in the construction of twenty miles
of road. New York is cited as an
example of state which employs its
convicts in making cloth shoes, office
supplies and furniture for the differ
ent departments of state, thus keep,
ing them generally employed and
making them somewhat self support
ing.
The labor commissioner expresses
surprise at the proposal to use con
victs in opening coal beds underly-
ing the penitentiary grounds at Nc
Alester The report says:
in conclusion, we want to call
attention to the attempt made to use
these convicts in opening the Goa
beds underlying the penitentiary
grounds at McAlester. We were some
what surprised to learn that this at
tempt had been made, and simply
want to remark that we do not under
stand how, after reading the report
of the Kansas penitentary, where
our convicts We're formerly kept, any
one could give approval to project
of this kind

FARM VALUES MAKE SHOWING
Aggregate Values of Land in Arid anc
Sem-Arld Regions Have Made
Remarkable Advance.

The arid and semi-arid regions
make a remarkable showing in farm
values. according to the United Statei
census. A bulletin Issued by the cen
sus bureau shows that the aggregate
value of farm land in the sections
named is $10.4SS, 100000. This enor
nous value is all the more remarkable
because of the contrast with the
$3,249 100000 indicated by the censu,
of 1900. The value of farm land In
the arid and semi-arid regions in 1916
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
1t is evident that they made a big ad
vance, and from it all one may form
an idea of the vast growth in the
country's wealth from this source.

Jewels In a FloWer-Bed.

The recovery OF quantity of stolen
1ewelry from fiower-bed was de
scribed at Kingston-on-Thames police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, a resident OF Ivydene,
Southborough-road, Surbiton, London.
The lady had missed pearl pin and
pearl and diamond ring. Thinking
she might have lost the jewels in the
street, she issued printed notices Of
fering a reward for their recovery.
When she lost a number of other
things she placed the matter in the
hands Of the police. The detective
said that from what the prisoner told
him he searched the garden, and In
one of the flower-beds found some OF
the jewelry. The rest he found in
the prisoners bedroom.

STOP ESCAPE OF MOISTURE
Farmer In seml-ArId Regions Should
Use Every Endeavor to Prevent
Evaporation Of Water.

The escape OF moisture. not the
lack OF 1t. Is what has done the SO
called dry west the greater harm.
Today we passed a spot where two
men were digging cellar. 1t Is In a
very dry country where all crops must
be irrigated. and the subsoil. after go
Ing down foot or two. is almost as
hard as rock and has to be loosened
by sharp pick or by dynamite.
Across this cellar soil an oil road had
been made which formed a perfectly
impervious crust two or three inches
deep. Through 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 II
would be like rock Curious to see II
just the opposite might not prove to
be the case, the writer with a sharp
pick succeeded in barring good strip
Of the soil under the oil road To the
surprise Of the diggers. both soil and
subsoil under this alright 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 we should shut off evap
grafton. The high winds, the dry air
and the hot sun all combine to take
the moisture from our soil Just when
we need 1t most.
That is one great reason why the
forest condition brought about by the
cool shady protection of the corn field,
leaves our corn land with SO much
more moisture in 1t 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 be
made TO shade and protect the surface
soil.
ne SdlHe pIlHciple rs iHFolNeu WHSu
on some soils some seasons the grain
does so much better for being lightly
narrowed when two inches or so high
1t is why lightly disked or sharply har
rowed stubble land grows better corn
or grain If 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 a good crop and
a certain one. Evaporation should be
headed off in every way in our power
1t is like letting our money run to
waste to let our soil moisture get away
from us.

Continued care in handling the
dairy products is the price OF success
A dairy COW should be allowed tc
rest from six to eight weeks before
freshening
Where dairying is not practiced the
calf will have also to pay for keeping
the COW a year.
The mangel is excellent for stock
feed, being greatly relished by miIl
cows in winter.
The best market for skim milk on
the farm is afforded by good dairy
calves and quick growing pigs
Sweet corn is one OF the very best
crops to grow to feed as a soiiing
crop to the dairy cows in summer.
Just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she
has been given previous to calving.
1t should be remembered that the
milk cannot be increased in solids
and in fat by the feeding of rich food.
To feed cows profitably without
some homegrown sort OF protein,
such as the leguminous hays, is diff.
cult.
II is best to reduce the milk pro-
ducing food, so that mature COW will
dry and rest for a month to six weeks
before calving.
Successful dairying is largely mat
ter OF securing cheap feed. as well as
good cows. The silo is one method OF
economizing on feed
BE good to the cows. These most
useful animals are a safe investment
They do not go on into a fence cor
ner and die OF cholera.

Caution on pasturinq Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be pastured with
very great caution. In fact. the farm
er whc holds this matchless crop in
proper regard will pasture something
else and just use the alfalfa for hay
But If the alfalfa is to be pastured
about half enough stock should be
kept on 1t to keep the growth down.
BY this method two or three cuttings
Of hay will be obtained in addition TO
the pasturage.
Another caution to throw out is that
II should be allowed to make a good
start in the spring before the stock
are turned on, and should be allowed
to go in the winter with a good cover
Under no conditions should ii be pas
tured in cold weather.
