The life of a common criminal in an
English Jail is not easy for a refined
woman, educated in modern germ the
cries, to follow. There is hard work,
coarse, monotonous food association
with criminals, and rules that are
both rigid and humiliating. She must
undress in public, surrender all her
garments and personal belongings,
take down her hair, and then, with
her arms stretched above her head
she must submit to thorough search
wearing only a prison chemise.
"Then she must get into a dingy
iron bath tub and battle where hun.
dreds of criminals before her have
bathed. She inherits their prison
shoes, their torn, patched garments,
and their corsets. She must scrub
her cell floor and, in certain cases,
stand most unhealthful odors from
unsanitary conditions. Her window
does not open, and she may exercise
out Of doors only three times a week
then she must walk with the other
prisoners in single file, and without
communication.
1T is not against these personal
hardships, however, that the suffrag

in a body for political freedom, and
that they are no criminals, but pris-

Where Water Counts

Where Water Counts
I'm irrigated sections in which land
is relatively abundant and water re-
latively limited" says the treatise,
the acre yield, while of great I'm
portance, cannot be considered alone.
Under humid conditions farm Is
measured by the number of acres II
embraces. Under irrigated conditions
the value of farm depends on the
acres OF land and the acre-feet O: wa
ter the water usually costing more
than the land. Under the latter con-
ditions therefore, the highest yield
per unit of water must be considered
as well as the yield per acre of land
with wheat 700 pounds of dry
matter were produced when 80 acre
inches of water were applied to one
acre, but when the same quantity Of
water was applied to four acres more
than $4,000 pounds of dry matter,
were obtained or more than three
times as much for the same amount
of water.
Considering the community as a
whole and especially the development
Of a great populous country in the
arid west, the acre yield falls into
insignificance in comparison with the
acre inch yield. AS We grow in popu-
lation We shall be less anxious about
the actual acre yield obtained from
any one crop than about the produc-
ton of foodstuffs for the maintenance
OF happy people. This is the work
of irrigation"

HUMANE SOCIETY HEAD
FINDS NO DEAD FOWLS
But Receiver Explains Health
Department Wagon Carts
Them AWAY.

Superintendent Archer OF the Humane
Society of New York declared yesterday
that the condition of the poultry at the
West Washington Market was as good
as could be expected. A careful inspec-
ton of the market he said, had revealed
no dead nor dying birds The only inn
provement he could suggest was TO make
the crates three or four inches higher,
with blocks of wood three inches thick
between each crate. This. he maintained,
would better the ventilation of the crates
and greatly improve their condition" He
thought, however. that these improve
ments could only be secured by legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Archer quizzed George n. McCarty,
president of the Hudson County Humane
Society. later in the afternoon, as TO the
condition of the poultry in the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western and the Penn
sylvania yards Mr. Archer said he had
been unable TO find any evidence Of i'm
proper feeding on the part OF the agents
who cared for the birds on their trip East.
Adoph Danzger. one of the best known
Of the Washington Market receivers.
ridiculed the idea that none Of the birds
had died since the strike had compelled
their confinement. "As matter OF fact
he said, about three hundred have died
so far. and a lot more would have DIED
if we had not disposed of them as soon
as they began to show signs OF weak
ness.
They say they haven't seen any deau
But how can they? The Health Depart
ment wagon comes every morning AT
o'clock and carts them off. ! Inspected
my stock with Mr.. Archer yesterday and

rounds a few hours later | found SIX

A fve-hour meeting between dealers
and receivers yesterday afternoon faiied
to bring about an agreement, and the
dearth of fresh poultry in greater Ne"
York seems likely TO continue into the
coming week.
