without guards-some 300 miles away from the
prison-have created a national reputation for
loyalty. Less than one per cent have violated
their pledges by successful escape. Communi
ties no longer fear to have our convict camps
established near them. We have made manhood
as well as money by this healthy hearty out
door labor. We have built the prisoners up both
physically and morally. Men discharged from
our road camps do not have the prison pallor,
the physical weakness and the hesitating hang
dog appearance of the typical discharged
Wet They are bronzed, sturdy, healthy, efficient
laborers and are in demand as such. About so
per cent. of those we have sent from the camps
on the completion Of their terms have made
good. The other 20 per cent. have mostly found
their way back into prison elsewhere"
Under the Colorado system, the convict is
allowed ten days off his sentence for each month
of labor performed the roads This is in
addition to the usual reduction made for good
behavior. There other incentives for the
convicts to so conduct themselves that they will
be put at work on the roads, according to War
den lyman For one thing" he says the man
who is allowed to leave the prison for the road
camp practically has seen the last of prison if
he conducts himself properly. His food is bet
ter, his clothing is better. He has not constant
ly before his eyes the guns of the guards to
remind him that he is a convicted criminal and
has no place in society. His self-respect re-
turns, he is taught selfrelance and sustained
application, and these things enable him to take
his place among other people and do a mans
work when he is released from prison"
As to the economic side of the question War
den lyman is just as optimistic. He declares
that the state has saved a large amount of
money and that it will save hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars during the next ten years
through the Of convict labor on the roads.
With reference to the cost of maintaining the
convlcts in the road camps, Warden lyman gives
some statistics.
In one of camps" he says, I'VE worked
50 men, not including the camp help, one month.
The maintenance of each of these men cost the
state exactly 20 cents per day. The total cost
OF all the work for the MONTH including salaries,
care OF stock, feed for teams and cost of equip
ment, was s515I5, or Az cents per day per
man. Had this number Of men been employed at
the standard wage rate of 81 per day, the cost
OF wages alone would have been 81. So"

CEMENT POSTS CHEAP
They Add Permanent Value to
Farm and Are Lasting.
Unnecessary to Use Expensive Core
Reinforcements as Wire is Just
as Goor for Purpose-Some
Materials Required.

Concrete posts add permanent value
to farm property, and will last in
definitely. They can be made at a cost
Of p to 25 cents a post, including
materials and labor
An ideal post should I'LL the follow
ing requirements: Low first cost,
strength, and should be resistant to
the effects of water, frost, and fire.
After two or three years use, wood
posts possess only one-third to one
half their original rength-catalpa
posts excepted-while a concrete
post will grow stronger with age.
A square post 5x5xS4 inches is
an all-around economical design.
Wooden forms may be used for this
design at a reduced cost. They should
be made in gangs of six posts each.
Details Of post design or form con-
struction for any particular design
may be had by writing to c. F. Chase,
assistant in farm mechanics at the
Kansas Agricultural college.
1t is unnecessary to use expensive
core reinforcements for concrete
posts. Wire is just as good for that
purpose, and reduces the cost of the
post. Wire reinforcement spacers
may be bought on the regular wire
market. Pairs of number eight wire
or twisted No. II wire, ready strung
with spacers, also are on the regular
wire market. At least six wire rein
forcements, with ends bent hack,
should be used to a post.
A clean grade of sand and pebbles
only should be used in a ratio of two
parts sand to four parts pebbles. If
a clean grade of sand or pebbles is
not available, a good grade of either
may be easily washed. Dirt in sand
weakens concrete. A good test for
dirty sand is had by filling a fruit jar
to the depth of four inches and add
ing water until nearly full. After
shaking thoroughly the mud will set
tie on top of the sand. Sand con-
tanning more than one-half inch of
dirt in this test should not be used.
If unscreened bank run" gravel is
available, it should be used in the
proportion of one part cement to four
parts of gravel, For crushed rock or
screened gravel, the concrete should
be used in proportion of one part
cement to two parts sand and four
parts Of gravel. Definite amounts Of
water should be used, which may be
determined after a few trials. Port
land cement is especially recommend
ed for post making.

In New Jersey the convicts are handled lit
tie differently but the object is the same. Here
the guards have not thrown away their guns
but the firearms not in evidence and the
casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely can
tell which are the keepers and which conyicts.
Woodrow Wilson, when he governor Of
New Jersey, thought he way to solve
of the problems presented by the state prisons
He outlined his idea to the state prison labor
commission and turned over to that body, tOgeth
with the state road commissioner, the task
of working out his ideas. The result of President
Wilson's suggestions is Don't Worry Camp" the
first Of the road convict camps to be established
in New Jersey
This is very much like any other summer
camp, except that it is better equipped One
large room holds the convicts beds, while in
projecting ell there is space for five guards
whose beds are SO placed that every square foot
Of the cOnvicts' quarters can be seen through
glass partition. This is the only suggestion of
surveillance except for the locks that are placed
on the doors at night. The convicts' roGEI con-
tains a shower-bath and other facilities. The
ventilation is scientific and the floor, walls, cell
ing and beds are spot1ess. Two former chefs
now convicts, preside in the kitchen and prepare
the meals, which include meat twice day and
plenty of fresh vegetables
All the buildings in, the camp were construct
ed by the convcts themselves without any out
side help save where expert workmanship such
as could not be furnished by the convcts,
needed. After the camp was completed the con-
victs we're put to work the nearby roads
Asphalt roads to be laid and culyerts and
bridges constructed, and in this connection is
seen of the chief benefits of the new sys-
TEN, so far as the conVicts are concerned The
prisoners will have opportunity to learn the
masteries Of scientific road-making, a profession
which is not overcrowded. Those prisoners who
show interest in the work will be promoted to
responsible positions and will be in a position to
secure welEpaid jobs when their terms EXPIRE
the authorities believe.
While these few states have been taking the
lead in the efforts to solve the problem of con-
Wet labor, other states have been studying the
question of how best to direct the labor of the
states ward, both for his own interest and that
of the state and rapid progress is predicted
along these lines during the next few years by
those familiar with penal conditions throughout
the country.

year rejecting all inferior animals
from the breeding herd. The boars
should be carefully selected to insure
prepotency, quality and soundness.
Keep him in prime condition, free
from parasites or disease, give him
plenty of exercise and not too heavy
service.
The sows must have the same quail
ity and size as the sire, and in addition
get sows from the large filters Of
prolific dams. A dozen sound teats
and a quiet disposition should be re-
CURED. Once a SOW has demonstrated
her value keep her as long as she is
vigorous rather than depend upon un-
tried ones.
Rations for breeding swine must be
planned according to the needs of the
animals. Breeding animals should be
grown and not fattened. They need
plenty of exercise and a variety of
nourishing food, but no fat forming
materials. Corn, alone, is very bad
feed for sows and should never be
given exclusively. Change the food to
suit her condition.
