PAYS TO. FERTILlzE MEADOW
Increase In the Yield Of Hay Estimat-
ed From Three-ouarters to. One
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay
next to a patch of wheat in the same
field, 1. e., there was no fence between,
I noticed that the hay adjoining the
wheat was much heavier in widths Of
drill than elsewhere, writes F. p.
Gerlach In the Michigan Farmer; In
fact, there was so much difference
that I began to study out the reason.
which explained itself simply enough.
In drilling the wheat the fall be-
fore with $50 pounds Of 2:S:2 ferti-
lizer per acre, and running the drill
out on the meadow. there would be
from two to four feet of meadow fer
tilted while in going back the drill
would not be set in gear until at the
edge of the wheat field. consequently
every other width of the drill would
show a marvellous difference in the
grass.
This set me to thinking that IT
would be a good investment to fer
tilize meadows, and the following fall
fortified Eve acres with the same
result, raising the disks and drilling
the fertilizer over the top. and since
then we have been doing SO. and
am satisfied we harvest from three
quarters to one ton Of hay per acre
more where we use the fertilizer
The fertilizer can be sown late In the
fall before the snow covers the
ground, or in the early spring.

Preparations for Market.

French poulterers use considerable
care in preparing carcasses for mar
ket. In fact. they are experts in that
line. They know not only how to stun
fowls to get a plumper carcass. but
they whiten and mold and manipulate
the fowl after killing until It looks al
most good enough to be eaten with
out further preparation.
American markets might not yet
appreciate SO much care and atten-
ton to the appearance Of dressed
fowls. but 1t is swell known that car
cases prepared with the greatest care
by American methods always bring
the best prices.

CARE NEEDED FOR HARNESS
Before Applying OIL Thoroughly Wash
and Free II From Sweat and
Dirt-Use Ivory Black.

First thoroughly wash the harness
to free it from sweat and dirt. Per
haps the easiest way to accomplish
this is to take the harness to pieces
and soak 1t over night in strong soap
suds, having the water as warm as is
comfortable to hold the hand in when
the harness is first put in. II too hot
it will scald the leather.
When taken out in the morning,
most OF the dirt is gone, and a little
rubbing with a coarse rag will remove
the spots that did not soak OF.
Neatsfoot oil is. In the long run, the
cheapest oil for oiling leather Of any
kind. and especially harness, as It is
exposed to the action Of dirt, sweat
and very often is out in the rain.
II the harness is not very dry, a
half gallon of oil will be enough for
an ordinary set of double harness,
though sometimes harness is so dry
that a gallon would be none too
much. A nickel's worth of ivory
black will give a color and polish to
the leather II It be mixed we'll with
the oil before using. Be sure to get
ivory-black and not lamp-black, as
the latter rubs OF badly.
Have the oil warm, and as you take
the straps out of the water. run them
a few times through the oil. wipe on
with rag and hang up to dry. II not
then soft enough, repeat the opera
ton. Treat your harness in this way,
and 1t looks like new, and If 1t is
oiled about three times a year 1t will
outlast three or four sets that never
receive any oil. 1t is an old saying
that five oilings equal a new har-
ness"

Against the Death Penalty.
Let us now turn to the arguments
against the death penalty. Two
prominent men in the field Of pencil
ogy and criminology have presented
their arguments Systematically. First,
Warden Wolfer, for many years head
of the Minnesota State penitentiary,
writes:
81 am and always have been OPP
posed to capital punishment for the
following reasons:
Il. Because | do not believe that
capital punishment is In harmony
with and abreast of the best thought
of modern civilization.
20 Because 1t seems wrong for the
state in every sense to take what it
cannot give.
SO. Because human life is the
prerogative of Divine Providence God
alone can give it and he alone in his
divine wisdom has the right to take
it away.
a. Because statistics do not show
that capital punishment prevents
homicides
20. Because the whole scheme of
punishment should carry with it
chance for repentance and reform,
whether the offender is ever released
from prison or not"
The leading criminologist in this
country is probably Prof. Charles r
Henderson of the University Of Chi
cago He is the American representa-
tive on the International Prison Com
mission, composed of representatives
of all civilized nations. DR.. Hender-
son puts his reasons thus: Il am OPP
posed to capital punishment, because:
1. 1t too often serves revenge.
2. Not needed for the protection Of
society.
8. Occasionally is inflicted on the
guiltless.
4. Is irreparable.
S. Tends to Increase brutality and
murder
6. Diverts attention from preven-
tive policies"
Which brings us to the question,
is the murderer the chief factor to
consider? In the protection Of So
ciety from crime, is the example OF
the punished murderer of greater
value as a deterrent than the possible
reformation of the individual.
Hanging Not a Deterrent.

The old Roman pronunciation of Cicero
was undoubtedly "Kikero," phonetically
spelt. In the same way Caesar was pro-
nounced like 'FKaisar," the title of the Ger
man emperor. Nowadays, however, we use
soft in the pronunciation of the above
Latin words unless we are reading Latin.
In the former case we Anglicize them.
Both ways are considered correct, as the
English and Roman pronunciations are
used indiscriminately in reading Latin
texts; the latter, however, predominates in
such readings.
