OF WHITE SLAVERY
Governor Fess' Investigators
Say City Has No "center Of
Vice, as Has Washington"


BOSTON, Sept. 2s.-Boston has no
white slave traffic such as other, cities
have, according to the informal report
Of Dr. Walter E. Fernald, chairman of
the vice commission appointed last
spring by Governor Foss.s and which
practically has just completed it's in
vestigations. ,....,-.s.,
Neither is there much soliciting on
the. streets" the report continues. "as
compared with Philadelphia and New
York in certain districts. Boston has
no center..of vice. as has Washington,
and we have not succeeded in finding a
case in. this city where girl was
forced, against, her -wfil, into such a
life" - -g,-
Governor Foss' board will not end the
matter, however. as Federal investi-
gators have been in Boston for several
months. One of them. Frederick F.
Shmidt, of Washington. was informed
of the report of DIR. Fernald today. and
said that many girls were sent out from
, Boston to other places where the cadets
carried on. their bus mess.
The slaves come here from different
points" he said. and a re then sent
here and=there>b by" the cadets TO pia ces
where the system. has houses where
girls were kept. 4 ~ -
Boston. il must be remembered, is a
center for the shipping Of these vic
Tins. though that dbes not prove that
there is a thoroughly organized system
which centers here and picks up girls
from the streets As i say. the infer
ence is rather that these girls scome
from places away from Boston. and
( then are reshipped away from here by
those who handle them.".

ATEX ANnRIA VA SEPT y

Alexandra will be called upon by
Richmond and other cities in the State
to Join an attack on the act of the legis-
lature which takes practically all Of the
taxes on the rolling stock Of the rail-
ways In the State from the cities where
the railroads have their principal OIL
ces and apportions 1t among the coun-
ties through which the railways
traverse.
Alexandria, which now receives all OF
the taxes amounting to more than $4,000

ington- Southern railway. will lose prac-
ticaliy all OF this amount after this year
by reason Of the new law. Other cities.
however. will lose in far greater pro-
portion. s..S~2 >. IL.
The new law provides that. the first q
per cent of the total amount of taxes
shall 60 to the city and that the whole
amount of the rolling. stock shall be
taxed at the same rate as the nrsf Is
per cent. This is held by those opposed
to the plan as unconstitutional. a. 1t Is
construed as an unwarranted restriction
on the cities and counties, right to fix
the rate of taxation in their own COM

The Farm and Garden

can be determined by ore Of two
methods - either by close examina-
ton OF the plant growth or by the use
OF litmus paper. II you find horse
sOrrel prese in large quantities 1t
indicates IT,, your soil requires
calcium: also. II clovers do not grow
well that is an indication that cal
cium is lacking.
BY the use OF litmus papers, which
may be purchased at almost any drug
store, you will be able to determine
whether your soil is acid. Take a
small quantity of moist soil and press
It around the paper for ten or fifteen
minutes. II the blue paper is turned
to a pinkish or reddish color, II will
indicate that your soil is acid and an
application of lime will be beneficial.
There are several (at least ten) forms
The best form to use Is finely ground
limestone. First: because it Is cheap
est, and. second: the effect on the
humus is not so serious as with other
forms of lime-especially caustic or
quick lime. The action Of finely
ground limestone in its attack on the
vegetable matter is less noticeable
than with other forms of lime. The
amounts to apply depend on how badly
your soil requires calcium, and also
upon the available supply of lime
stone. We have known Of instances
where as high as eight tons have been
applied to the acre with good results,
and as low as ton or ton and half
has been used very satisfactorily.
The usual amount varies from three
to six tons to the acre. This material
should be supplied to the surface after
the seed bed is prepared, and narrowed
in by the use of peg.tooth or disk
harrow. 1t may be scattered by the
use of manure spreader; in fact, this
is tho usual machine for applying
finely ground limestone.

SILAGE

At a farmers institute not long ago
the question was asked How Aany
housewives have silos? You can very
easily guess the nature of the replies
to this question, for none of those
present had much of an idea what
sio really is. After a short eXplana-
ton it was agreed that nearly every
one present in reality had silo of
some kind. Some of these were used
for saving fruits, corn, and others for
preserving cabbage for future use.
We don't really speak OF these as
silos. but the effect on the saving of
these beds when placed in jars is the
same as it is with corn when stored
in the silo; in other words, silage Is
green corn preserved by storing in an
air-tight structure.
There probably are very few farmer
boys that do not remember some rainy
day or evening when all hands got
busy preparing the cabbage to fill the
kraut jar. Probably no thought was
given the subject because it was
yearly task, and no one realized that
in effect the saving of the cabbage by
making it into kraut is the same as
making corn silage. 1t undoubtedly
served a good purpose in keeping the
family in healthy condition during
the winter months when other green
food was not available. The same is
true of silage, which affords succu-
lent and nourishing feed for the live
stock.
There may be question as to
whether all stock will eat the sour corn
silage, but give them a chance and this
thought will be quickly dispelled, for
all stock eat silage very greedily, and
the returns in the form of milk ana
meat will amply pay for all the trouble
and expense.
Yours very truly.

GOOD QUALITIES
OF DAIRY BREEDS

Answering a subscriber who as1s,
Cant you tell me which Is the most
profitable breed of dairy cowsY'
Hoard's Dairyman says:
No; for the reason that there are ~
many men in all the breeds that are
making their cows highly profitable It
is impossible for us to make n choice
for this or any other man but our
selves. and when we come to look into
our own choice we find 1t Is very large
ly a matter Of taste.
With cows as with other domestic
animals. they always do the best with
those lien who have fOndness or ok
ing for them Indeed, we may say
this Is more true with cows than any
other animal because the cow 10 4

particularly susceptible to her own
likes and dislikes. There are a lot OF
COW owners who are blind to this prin-
ciple when it plays a very important
part with their profit
Every breed of cows has its dis
tnctivc line of qualities. The jersey
Is wonderfully economic consumer
and close manufacturer Of food iatO
milk solids. So is the Guernsey. Both
yield milk rich in butter fat. and both
are highly profitable provided they are
good COWS and you do your part.

per cent in butter fat. As basis for
crossing with pure bred Guernsey or
Jersey sires there Is no foundation
that is finer than the Ayrshire grade
COW. Some great business herds have
been produced in this way. There
seems to be a natural mick" between
the Ayrshire grade female and the
pure bred Guernsey or Jersey male,

age. well backed up with a generous
grain ration. she can and has beaten
all other breeds in gross production.
Whether this has been done ec0nom1.
cally is disputed by the partisans of
other breeds.
The Brown Swiss is just coming
into notice. She has been bred and
her body fashioned to meet the stress
of severe mountain climbing for many
years. Consequently she has not yet
acquired that refinement of form that
all breeds come to ut last In this land
Of gentle exercise and abundant feed.
But she has talent as a milk and milk

breed is making under American Co.,
ditions all challenge attention.

final analysis. the question like that Of
politics or religion or love is a matter
very largely Of personal partisanship.
and so we come back to the place Of
beginning. But it is generally wise
for every man to select such breed ~
he likes best, that appeals most to his
taste. for under that influence he will
accord that treatment that will cause
his cattle to do their best.

MOlASSES AS A STOCK FEED

w. c. Stader, Vinegrove, Kentucky,
writes: "What do you know about the
value of black strip or low grade mo-
lasses as a feed, and how much should
be fed?"
The Experiment Station Bulletin
No. is, of the Massachusetts Expert
ment Station, Amherst, Mass, gives
a very complete digest of the subject
of molasses as feed. The conclusions
do not seem to be very satisfactory
regarding its value. Where it can be
obtained cheaply, and where the grains
are high priced, it probably has place
in the feeds. 1t is sometimes fed by
diluting it with water so that stock
will drink 1t, but g>nerally it is used
to give cheaper feeds more palatabil-
ity; that Is, it can be mixed with chop.
ped straw or other coarse hay and
stock will eat this to get the molasses.
1t is also used to quite an extent with
alfalfa meal.
Its principal feeding constituent is
the sugar or carbohydrates, and the
conclusion of the Bulletin seems to be
that these can be bought more cheaply
In such feeds as corn than in the
molasses. However, it would be well
for you to find out what it would cost
you in your locality before deciding as
to feeding or not feeding it. At the
present prices of other feeds, we are
inclined to believe you will find that
an investment in moasses for feed
will not be a profitable one.
Yours very truly,
