New Eork's police commissioned, in appeal

operate with the police in preventing young men
from adopting careers of crime, said: Most of
the criminals are boys and young men less than
twenty-five years of age. We will fall behind in
the fight against crime unless we can get hold of
the wayward boy. The band leader was his hero.
Just now it is pretty hard for boy to find band
leader, for we have large number, about ZOO in
Jail and the rest have to cover" 1t is reason
able to infer from the commissioners remarks that
the band leaders and youths under twenty-five are
guilty only of the minor crimes, for in spite of the
clean up record of his force assassinations, bomb
throwing, shootings and hold-ups still claim the
usual amount of space in the newspapers OF the
metropolis.

The trouble on the Mexican border appears
easy of solution to the average man. If Mexicans,
standing on Mexican SOIL do violence to inter
national law when they fire into United States
territory and kill Americans, the rule must also
work the other way, unless it is a poor indeed.
And surely VIC muster as many guns as the
McNicans at Naco. Just now, however, they seem
to be better equipped in the matter OF backbone.
Does any one doubt that notice to the Mexican
garrison that the next volley across the border
would he returned would fail TO produce the de-
sired effect 1t is quite evident at all events that
something will soon have to be done to restore
Mexican respect for our government.

Walter Johnson uses a great many words to
explain why he left the Nationals for the Fed
eral League when he could just as we'll have done
it with two. Johnson left because he was offered
more money, and thinking person will blame
him. Every fan, much as he loves the sport, must
realize by this time that baseball is as much a
commercial enterprise as brewery. Johnson with
a disabled wing would be worth nothing to the
Nationals, and that is exactly what he would get.
Johnson strong and sound is worth more to the
Federal League than the Nationals managers be-
Iieved he was worth to them; that's why he's a
Federalist- The talk about lawsuits between or
ganized and outlaw baseball is much rot. The
Federal League is baseball organization just
as much as the American League or the National
League. The Federal League is not outlaw"
merely because its existence is not recognized
by the two older organizations, and vice versa.
In law the status of all three is identical Johnson
won back TO Washington by lawsuit wouldn't
be worth much. "..

to take an unbiased view of the sport

tween Switzerland and Tyrol began
very soon after we had crossed the

found snow-it was just before Christ

favor Of Tyrol. The railway between
Feldkirch and Innsbruck is most beau

stayed the night at the Post hotel, a
very comfortable inn which boosted a
real old Tyrolese room, with real old
pewter plates and jugs round the
walls, and much OF the furniture and
carving was genuine. The next morn

GETTING MOST OUT
OF FARM MANURE
Fertilizer Should Be Applied Even
" and Worked Down Well
With Harrow.

To spread manure out on the sur
face is to apply liquid manure. for the
first rain will wash out the substance
and drench the land. Then you have
the coat for protection. This Is
guard against the sun or the severity
of frost on grass lands.
In the soil manure will only fertil-
lie what it comes In contact with, and
that is a small part of the land, as 1t
cannot be as equally distributed as
the liquid manure for the juice OF the
surface covering does it.
Then the soil is soaked as far as the
liquid extends, every particle of 1t.
So if a piece of grass land has manure
spread on it in the fall and Is plowed
in the spring there is always an in
creased growth on it, showing a very
convincing result in favor OF this
method of manuring the soil.
But If the land is plowed before the
manure Is put on, and then cultivated
in the spring the results will be still
more convincing that surface manur-
ing IS the best.
The manure should be applied even
~ and worked down with fine tooth
harrow, so as to bring it in close con.
tact with the ground. Then the soil
viii hold the strength-the gases as
they are made-and the manure APP
piled will be part Of the soil, never
lost unless on land that is subject to
washing.
II is the best way to apply manure
whether long or short-the short, or
rotten, is the best, but the longest
straw manure will do and it will pro-
tect the surface both winter and sum
mer Even straw alone has an effect
on land that is surprising to those who
have never tried it and in some places
1t Is always applied to wheat fields in
the fall
Let us save all the manure manu-
featured on the farms and apply 1t as
soon as possible, the sooner 1t gets on
the soil the better as its strength and
protection will at once benefit the land
instead OF the strength going of as 1t
does in the barn and in the manure
heap as we find II on a great many
farms.
II is an excellent plan to cart 1t on
the meadows and fields as soon as the
fall manure begins to be made and
spread at once close and fine and
equally on all places and continue this
during the winter. BE sure to cover
all and spread evenly as you go. and
If 1t is possible have a manure-spread-
