New York Receivers the Custody o
Harry X. Thaw.

IN restoring Harry X Thaw to the custody
Of New York State the United States supreme
Court brushed aside all the subtleties on which
the LAWYERS for the Matteawan refugee had
buit M a claim of immunity from extradition.
The court unanimously held that the only ques-
tion involved in the appeal to Washington was
,ybctber the ordinary comfy between states IN
extraditIon proceedings should be observed
The Governor of New York had Informed the
Governor of New Hampshire that Thaw was
wanted here for trial on an indictment for con-
sniracv 10 escape from the Matteawan Asylum
c,,. tba Criminal Insane. The Governor Of New
uampebire had decided that the request for ex-
tradition ought TO be granted, 1t beng regular
in form and alleging an extradtable offence but
tbc limited States District Court for the District
of New Hampshire interfered and forbade extra
1;,;o, IN the ground that the New York authori-
ties were not acting in good faith when they
indicted Thaw-an escaped inmate OF an insane
asylum-for conspiracy The point insisted upon
nv the defendants law corps was that if he was
insane he could not be responsible participant
in any sort of conspiracy
The Supreme Court says that such contentious
were not pertinent in a mere hdbeGs corpus pro-
ceeding. One state must give full faith ana
credit to the judicial proceedings of another
state. according to the federal Constitution
Governor Felker sensbly realized that ne had no
RIGHT 10 90 behind the request for extradltion
and pass upon supposed Interior motives which
might have influenced the New York authorities
in making it. 1t is New York's affair how she
deals with Thaw after she has regained custody
of him ON q competent Indictment We have
state appellate courts here and also United
States courts which can be asked to protect any
constitutional rights which may be held to he
infringed in further proceedings against Mattea-
vans famous fugitive. It is only fair and just
that New York should be allowed to retain con-
troll of Thaw, whether she wants to put him back
in her asylum for the criminal insane or TO cut
hort his detention there and try him for Grim
nal conspiracy.
We do not believe that the competency of our
courts to deal with Thaw in one way or another
will ever be successfully challenged. What the
public here wants most is to see him kept safe
behind bars Of some sort. 1t feels that he is too
dangerous man to be left at large, subject to
the influences which led him TO kill Stanford
White His egomania is unappeasable, and no
Judge or jury would be justified in turning him
loose again on the community. lie and his
family have spent vast amount of money to
loosen the states grip on him. That expenditure
has fortunately been of no avail, except to COM
pei the state to meet it with counter-eXpenditure
out of the public treasury
The Thaw case has been long enough a scan
dal and a nuisance. People hereabouts pray
earnestly for the day to come when Thaw will
drop out Of the limelght and Thaw lawyers
will cease to trouble US because the retainers
are meagre and few.

Nevertheless. does the big town mean liberal

residents whether they come from the country
store or not? Let US agree at once that it does
mean everything TO some. The boy or the girl
who has the capacity-the Imagination, the
courage and the strong individuality-can do
exactly as our correspondent says. For such the
big city IS inspiration, books, teachers, laboratory
and a whole lot more besides. But how many apt

GROW ALFALFA IN ROTATION
Introduction Of the Crop on the Far n

Favorable Results.

One common objection to alfalfa il
that it does not fit well into the rct a.
ton. Alfalfa is likely to be such an
important crop in North Dakota thar
this objection is liable to be over,
ruled The corn and alfalfa crops will
develop together in great measure.
corn taking the lesd It Will generally
be found advisable to have alfalfa fol.
low corn. After four or five years in
alfalfa, the land may be devoted to
small grains for two or three years,
and finally another crop Of corn ba
planted. III
But very few farmers would care to
put their entire farm into q rotation Of
this kind However there Is no reason
that limited portion should not be
set aside for rotation Of this nature.
Before breaking an alfalfa sod 1t is
generally best to get another piece
esta blished in alfalfa, for when once
alfalfa has been used 1t is appreciated
too highly not to have 1t growing
MA Whatever the rotation adopted by
tho farmer, there is no doubt that
the successful introduction Of alfalfa
culture upon the farm will produce
very marked and favorable results.
This rule has been without exception

After the corn has been selected the
next step is to dry it. A good place
for this is an open shed or some place
in which the air can circulate freely
around each ear. In case the corn Is
not dry when freezing weather comes,
it must be kept from freezing as this
will weaken or even kill the germ. Do

A good deal of the success with corn
depends on where the seed was grown.
Home grown seed is the best. Seed
that has ripened in the locality will be
quite sure to produce corn that will
lEdpen the next year again.
It has been found that the food
value in the corn crop increases
very fast from the time the corn tas.
isels out till the corn is ripe, SO that
even when the corn is wanted for fod-
der, the best kind is the one that
ripens. It will not produce as much
bulk as later varieties, but 1t will con-
tain more and better food value.
The best place to gather the seed

One can then see on what kind Of Z

the part MANFRED gave yield OF 2.76
tons Of hay per acre, while the other
plat gave 1.96 tons per acre. A vast
difference was noticeable between the
two plats during the summer and vet
the residuary effect Of the manuring
in 1904 could still be detected. In 1904
the bronze grass showed that condi-
tion which is called sod bound, but
that look disappeared after 1t was
manfred. The same conditions were
seen in the field trial noted above.
Grass always responds quickly to an
application of manure and gives big
returns in yield for the time required
to do the work Of spreading the!
manure. Hay and pasture fields are
considered the best on which to scat.
ter the manure.
The results show that the poor
yields Of bronze grass and It's inability
to produce stems and long leaves after
1t has been seeded for a few years Isl
not entirely due to the sod bound !
condition of the grass. Heavy appli-
cations of manure cause the sod to be-
=. 49, " t
come still denser, yet the yield is i'm
proved. 1t is safe to conclude that the
reduced yield Of bronze grass after it
has stood for few years is az much
due to the reduced fertility in the soil
as to the density Of the sod. Previous
trials show that bronze grass is .
ravenous feeder upon the soil fertility
and that 1t uses larger quantities OF
water than most hay plants. How.
ever, it roots deeply and sends its
rootlets farther for moisture than any
other commonly grown grass. No
grass surpasses bronze grass in its
ability to produce good growth in
dry years or under adverse weather
conditions. North Dakota Experiment

This introduction frequently follows
that Of new purchases into q healthy
flock, and with the great and largely
unsupported prevalence Of the disease
the apparent increase in the number
Of outbreaks OF avian tuberculosis can
be readily explained.
But the introduction of infected live
fowls upon the premises is not the
only means OF transmission Of infec
ton. Poultry purchased In butcher
shops for table use may be the means
Of introduction. Trimmings and offa
from such fowls carelessly thrown on.
the garbage pile constitutes an excel
lent introduction of infection in case
the birds were tuberculous.

OF mammalian tuberculosis to birds,
the writer's do not believe that tuber.
culous man, bovines and swine can be
looked upon as important sources Of
danger for poultry yard. This il
somewhat different In the case OF par.
rots which have shown q high degree
of susceptibility to both human and
avian bacilli. Parrots, and to less
extent canary birds also, may become
infected by taking food previously
crushed or chewed in the mouth Of Z

In the transmission Of tuberculosis
from bird to bird, the exit Of bacilli
from the diseased fowl, as we'll a.
their entrance into the healthy birds
are the points to be considered. In
the light Of our present knowledge,
we must regard the intestine as prac.
tically the only avenue Of exit Of
bacilli. Bacilli are often contained In
the feces in prodigious numbers, al
though in not few cases 1t is dim
cult to find the organism in the bowel
discharges. 3...
While the exit Of bacilli with the
feces Is practically the most impor-
tant means Of elimination, the possi-

\ In regard to the entrance Of infec-

clinical evidence strongly points to
the fact that tuberculosis In birds is
usually Of an alimentary origin. Other
ports Of entrance, OF course, are pos
sible, and no doubt do occasionally
play q part, but there is no evidence
to show that this happens more than
In highly exceptional instances.

 October 21, 1914, To all Democratic Candidates:
 The American Reform League, the only national organization, having as it's sole object, Tariff reform has re- solved unanimously to support all reg ular candidates of the Democratic par ty in the 1914 elections.
 The League will rest content with the present revised tariff laws, and will not engage in any further agita- tion for further tariff reform legis- lation until the presidential campaign of 1916.
 The League recognizes the fact that to win this year the Democratic party will have to maintain the integrity of the party organization in every Sate in the Union, and that the Democratic tickets throughout the country will in no case be stronger than their weak est parts in any State.
 The Democratic party has kept kept faith with the tariff reformers of the country, and the tariff reform. CTS of the country will in this years elections keep faith with the Demo cratic party by supporting the local, State, and National candidates of the Democratic party in the United States at the polls on November 8, 1914. The Democratic candidate to whom this letter of endorsement is addressed is at liberty to use endorsment in his 1914 campaign for election.
