I and tougher them, drawing out all OF
their natural oil, care must be taken in
the way in which they are added. The
nuts must be the finest and freshest
and best of their kind. 1t is impossible
to preserve them alone without a car

forms.

NlEGHBORLY KINDNESS.

Besides sharply prodding politicians
who are inclined to turn backward
rather than 20 forward, The Milwau-
kee Journal is interested in other good
works. In response to The Journals
appeal in behalf of the associated
charities of Milwaukee many small
towns about the state sent in boxes and
bundles of garments. Up to last
Saturday the number of towns acting
in this neighborly way had reached
twenty six. Residents Of many small
towns are glad to give as soon as they
are advised of the need. Every ship
ment of clothing which arrives at the
associated charities office in Milwaukee
means comfort and warmth for some
poor person.

cannot be taken except for public use.
So, if a charter, with the right of con-
demnation, is granted, it must be for
public uses and not for private pur-
poses. And besides, there are no
waterpowers in the state so unaccessi
BILE that they cannot be reached by
wire, and thereby be made to serve the
public.
Wise craftsmanship takes thought of
taxation for the future as we'll as for
the present. Reasonable license fees
for water power operation can be made
a great source of revenue to the state.
An attempt will be made at this ses-
sion of the legislature to weaken the
Husting waterpower law But this at
tempt should be stubbornly resisted.
A great political conflict is on in
Wisconsin. On one side are those who
want to turn back to past that is bad !;
and on the other are those who would
go forward to better things in self
government. Real Democrats ought
to face the future; and, facing the flu
ture, they ought to win. Their great
need at this time is aggressive leader
ship in both houses of the legislature.

INNOCENT MAN HANGED.

So Says Letter on Painter Case TO
Chief Of Chicago Police.
Chicago.-That an innocent man was
executed here in 1894. when George
Fl. Palmer was hanged for the murder
of Alice Martin. is the statement made
in letter received by Chief of Police
Gleason from person signing himself
''R. W. Baxter" of Buffalo. SangamoH

The writer asked that Painters rela-
tives be found and promised to remove
the stigma from the family.

were a declaration that he was not
guilty.
Alice Martin, Painters sweetheart
was beaten to death in 1891, and Paint
er was arrested nine months later
After two years Of fighting the prison
er was convicted and executed. On
the scaffold he said:
IF l killed Alice Martin, the girl
dearly loved, the woman | loved so
much that would almost commit any
crime for her. pray this minute. my
last minute on earth. that the eternal
God will put me into eternal hell
The condemned man raised his voice
and continued:
Look here, gentlemen, if there Is
one man among you who is an Ameri.

soul. say-see that the murderer of
Alice Martin is found"
The scaffold prayer was delivered by
the Rev. A. P. Moerdyke, who said:
May he whom so many believe in
nocent Of this crime join thee in ever
lasting life for the sake, O Lord. of
thy son Jesus Christ, our Lord"
Gleason said he would take no steps
in the matter except to look for Paint
er's relatives to make known to them

MORE THAN 80 PER CENT MINED COMES FROM THIS

 "The production of bauxite and the consumption of aluminium in the Unit ed States in 1914 were the largest ever recorded" says the most recent issue of the Manufacturers Record. The re- port, prepared by w. C. Phalen of the United States Geological Survey, shows an output of 219,31S long tons of bauxite, valued at $1,069,194 in 1914, against 21O,241 long tons, valued at $997, 7,69S, in 1913. The states which produced bauxite in 1914 were Alaba- ma, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee. Arkansas produced more than 80 per cent of the output, owing to the ex- tensive operations of the American Bauxite Company in Saline County. and the output was larger in 1914 than in 1913. The production Of Georgia, which held second place in both years, and of Alabama and Ten nessee was considerably less in 1914 than it was in 1913. The imports of bauxite amounted to 24,S44 long tons, valued at $96,5OO or 3,3SS tons more than in 1913.
 The quantity of aluminium consum- ed in the United States in 1914 was 79,129,0O0 pounds, against 72,379,00O pounds in 1913 and 65,607 900 pounds in 1912 The growth of the industry is shown by the fact that the produc- tion was 150 pounds in 1884, 550.00o pounds in 1894, and S,600.000 pounds in 1904.
 "The value of the exports of alumni mum and of manufactures of aluminium amounted to s1,546,510 in 1914. as compared with S566.094 in 1913.

ALL FARMERS OUGHT
 TO HAVE SOME HOGS
Not Necessary Nor Desirable to Devote Time and Attention
 to Fancy Strains.

It ought to be within the reach of all farmers to produce hogs, whether grades, Chester Whites, Berkshires. Poland Chinas or the bacon type of hogs or any of the other improved breeds, and by selection and attention in subsequent breeding and regard for the plain principles with which every farmer should make himself ac- quainted to improve and maintain the standard of swine upon the farm.
 It is neither necessary nor desirable that the farmer should convert his yards and houses into breeding estab- lishments and devote his time and at tention to breeding fancy strains or families, at the expense of his pork producing operations.
 If the production of pork is the sole object of the farmer it is within his power to so improve his swine that for all practical purposes they are as prac- tical and profitable as though they de- scended from the best names in the herd books.
 He wants hogs that will fatten well and his practical eye should select a bunch of good hogs without reference to their pedigrees.

gin early. The young animal should be accustomed to the halter and taught to lead before being weaned. and thereafter it should be handled regu- larly until time to break it to harness. Gentle methods are desirable In the latter operation. If the young animal develops normally, it is capable at two years of age of doing considerable farm work, and in any case 1t ia ad- visable to give some light work. It Is not we'll. however. to put mules at hard work much before four years of age. The mules keep Is reckoned at a third less than that of & horse.
 For the indications of disposition of old mules look at the head and eyes, say those who have handled these ami mals for many years. Avoid mules with abnormally long heads, as we'll as those with hollow faces. The eyes of the gentle mule are soft and mild and set we'll apart. A sign of docility in a young mule is indicated by constant motion of the ears; one ear pointing forward, the other backward is also regarded favorably. But beware of the mule that habitually lays the cars back upon the neck, say the authori- ties. It is claimed by some that the little mule is more apt to be ill-tem- pered and vicious, and that the larger the animal the better the disposition.

(By W F.. PURDuE.)

(By W. F. PURDUE)
 It is a common error that all mules are vicious. To kick like mule" is a proverbial and misleading saying. Mules are not worse than horses in this respect. While 1t should be de- nied that mules are naturally vicious. 1t is undoubtedly true that some are made so by ill-treatment and abuse. The same is true of horses. In gen. eral, the mule is quiet and patient in temperament, and, when properly in structed during its youth. is just as steady and reliable as horse. It is much easier to take a mule colt in hand at an early age and train it prop erly than it is to take an older animal that has been misused ard overcome any habits or tricks arising from years of poor management. Kindness is the best policy in dealing with mules as we'll as with other domestic animals. Mules that are accorded de- cent, humane treatment when young nearly always make docile and tract able work animals, and are always ready to respond to good, common sense treatment The mule that is roundly abused becomes ugly in the same way as the horse develops viciousness when he is continually mistreated.

 FOR STRAWBERRIES
Tankage, Peruvian Guano, Fine Ground Bone and SuIphate

The following are recommended in the culture of this fruit.
 Tankage or Peruvian guano. 600 pounds per acre: fine-ground bone, 1000 pounds; low-grade sulphate of potash. 500 pounds; nitrate of soda. 100 pounds.
 All these may be mixed, applied after blowing and before setting plants and thoroughly incorporated in the soil by narrowing.
 Dried blood. 200 pounds per acre; low-grade sulphate of potash. 600 pounds; tankage or Peruvian guano 500 pounds; basic-slag meal, 1000 pounds; nitrate of soda. 100 pounds.
 The slag is not mixed with the blood. tankage or guano, as it causes loss of ammonia. It is better to apply the slag by itself but all the other materials may be mixed be fore application.

PUSH THE PIGS TO
 MAKE BEST RETURNS
Corn, Alfalfa and Clover Pasture Will Lay on Fat-Provide
 Suitable Shade.

After the pigs come feed the SOW all she can eat of nutritious rations. A fair amount of corn will not hurt her then.
 To keep the youngsters free from lice, dip them just before they are weaned Then dip them again late ia the fall.
 Corn, alfalfa and clover pasture will lay fat on pigs about as fast as anything else that grows.
 The hot sun will drive the fat out of a pig about as fast as you can lay 1t on. It pays to provide plenty Of shade.
 The best shade is a shed on an ele- vation over which the wind can sweep without obstruction. Dusty holes in fence corners or in stifling under brush are not desirable.
 If your pigs are running on clover pasture and you are feeding grain give it to them at night
 A light feed of grain may be given pigs three times day. but twice is better, provided they have plenty of good pasture.
 Plenty of clean water should be provided every day at noon time and again in the evening for the hogs.
 Only the best bred pigs which are pushed from the start to the finish make the most money.
 Don't forget that pigs never sweat and therefore they must be supplied with plenty of water in which they can cool themselves during the warm summer months.
