Exit Jerome.

The announcement by. Attorney,
General Woodbury. Of New York that
the State will hereafter endeavor to
get along without the assistance OF
former District Attorney W. II:
jerome Is accompanied by, the state.
,ment that the change is Smnde in the
interests of economy. The Thaw case,
has cost the State 100000, or which
i$25,000 has been paid to Mr.. Jerome
,alienists and experts accounting for
much of the remainder.
There has been much criticism of
jerome by partisans Of the defense,
the assertion being frequently made
that; the course of the former District
Attorney sayored OF bounding the
prisoner. This charge has been met,
by friends Of Jerome with the retort
that any lawyer In Ills place, or In.
deed any man in the same scircum.
Stances was perfectly justified in
earning what he could; TINT Jerome
was practicing law as profession,
that he had special Knowledge Of the
Thaw case from his having been dis.
trlct attorney at tho time OF the
original trial and, when the state en-,
listed his service, he was free to &C.
.cept, both as a lawyer and as a citi:
zen interested in the maintenance of
the laws i S II A VI il q
However opinions may range be-
tween these views. the withdrawal OF,
Jerome from the Gaze removes! that
contention. Whether the duly elected
and appoiutcd legal officers of New

with his special knowledge OF the
case and his study Of the points at,

Preventing Premature RuriaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, SO widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, in a given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: II the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; 1t shows itself through the tis-
sues which have not yet congested
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

The requirements of a good dairy
barn are: 1. Suitable and convenient
location. 2. Adequate shelter and COM
Portable quarters for stock. 3. Special
storage room for feed. 4. Sanitary
construction and good ventilation,
such as would be required in any
other factory of human food. 5. Con-
venient arrangements requiring the
minimum amount of labor to do the
necessary work of feeding and clean
ing.
1t is advisable to have a separate
milking house and also that no other
animals, hogs especially, be stabbed in
or near the dairy barn.
Locate the dairy barns. II possible,
on high, well-drained ground. SO as
to admit of perfect drainage, both on
the surface and for such underground
drains as may be necessary. Locate
where there can be good supply of
lots for cows, calves. herd bulls, ETC.,
convenient to the barn, and where
the lots will also be well drained.
In feeding, handling and caring for
live stock much time may be wasted
by unhandy, awkward arrangements.
Haymows and feed rooms should be
where the feed can be fed easily. It
is not considered a good plan, how
ever, to have a hay loft above dairy
stable unless dust-proof floor is put
in.
More than half of the work Of keep
ing a stable clean and sanitary may
be accomplished before single ami

more rapidly. This may be prevented
by following the roller Immediately
with a light harrow. The roughened
surface lessons the blowing of sand.
and also forms a dust mulch which
retards evaporation as we'll.
II the corrugated roller or clod
crusher is used, the harrow is not
needed because this roller itself
leaves the surface in a decidedly
ridged condition. The effect of COM
pacting sand soils can best be seen
by the increase in termination of

SPRAYING OR DIPPING HOGS
Particular Attention Should Be Given
to Keeping Animals Free From
All vermin or Worms.

There are some things in growing
nogs that should receive regular at
tention, such as keeping the herd free
from vermin. or worms. To free
herd from lice requires either thor
oush spraying or dipping with some
good disinfectent, which, if done about
twice in an interval of week. Will
clean up the herd. Where one grows
large numbers of pigs, dipping tank

BENEFICIAL ON SANDY SOILS
When Used Properly, the Roller Is
One Of the Most Important Of
All TiIIage Implements.
(By F. S. sEIvERsJ

The capillary water that rises from
the subsurface reaches the highest
mark in soils that are fine grained
and consequently we find that in the
dry part of the summer when plants
are dependent upon capillarity for their
water supply. coarse-grained sands
become very dry. If these soils could
be pressed together SO that the air
space between the separate grains
would become smaller, the capillary
water would rise higher. Here the
roller may be used to advantage. 1t
should follow the seeding Of small
grain and especially clover, to get
the soil in closer contact with the
seed as well as to supply moisture
from below.
There is another factor that enters
and tends to counteract the good ef-
fects of rolling. The smooth sur
face produced will offer less resistance
to the wind and consequently the sand

disinfected. Concrete is not only more
permanent, and therefore cheaper for
the floors of a stable, but it is much
more cleanly. Everyone cannot af-
ford to have stall partitions and
stanchion frames made of steel or iron
pipe, but If wood must be used, they
should be simply and plainly built to
afford as little room as possible for
dust and dirt to collect. Walls and
ceilings should also be made smooth
on the inside. They will be much cas-
Ter to whitewash, cobwebs will not be
SO likely to collect or SO difficult to
remove. A stable should be disinfect-
ed and whitewashed each year.
Plenty of light and fresh air should
be provided by putting in large win
dows on either side of the barn. II
the stable faces east and west, the
sun should shine in on every part of
the stable during each day. These
windows may be hinged at the bottom
and swung inward SO that plenty Of
fresh air can get in without letting
draft on the cows. A good plan is
to remove a few windows in winter
and put canvas across the opening.
Enough air goes through without caus-
ing any direct draft on the cattle.
Years ago Prof. I. P. Roberts ad-
vocated having large closed shed
adjoining the milking stable into
which the cows could be turned at
night In winter. With the cows de-
horned, the shed well bedded and a
water trough put in, the cows had
practically all the freedom and COM
fort they could have outdoors in sum-
mertime. The plan. while practicable.
has not been generally adopted.

CROPS FOR SUMMER soILING
Oats and Canada Field Peas Are Best
to Follow cIover-Risht Amount
to Feed Cows.

In his bulletin on green crops for
summer soiling j. B. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts station says that oats
and Canada field peas make the best
green crop to follow clover. Generally
it is advisable to make three grow
ings, the first as early as possible in the
spring, the second and third Is and 30
days later.
One and one-half bushels of each of
the oats and peas is the usual guam
tity to the acre. They both may be
sown broadcast at the same time after
the land is plowed and thoroughly
narrowed in with a wheel harrow, or
the peas may be first sown. and four
or five days later the oats, the latter
being covered with a harrow. The
first sowing will be ready about June
25. and the cutting should begin as
soon as the oats show the head.
The average yield from the second
and third sowings is likely to be
heavy, as the crop natures more
quickly during the warm weather.
Oats and peas will remain in condi-
ton to cut for ten or twelve days. The
average COW will consume from fifty
to eighty pounds daily until that feed
becomes tough. One-third of an acre
will generally furnish ten cows with
sufficient green feed twelve days. This
is figured on basis of from forty to
fifty pounds per day in the case Of
average sized COWS. with ten pounds
of hay.
Professor Lindsey does not consider
it wise to feed more than this amount
of coarse green feeds daily, for the
reason that an excess produces an ex-
ceedingly laxative condition of the
bowels. Animals fed in excess of fifty
pounds are likely to become notice
ably thin In flesh. In addition to the
hay and green fodder, he believes 1t
will usually prove economical to feed
from four to seven quarts of grain
mixture composed of one twenty-fifth
part of bran and one part of flour mid
dlings and gluten feed.

Constitutional Convention Asked.

Denver. - Speaker Stewart and
Fincher, minority leader. introduced
a joint resolution in the House (Which

referendum to the people in Novem-
ber. 1916. of the question of whether
there shall be constitutional conven-
tion. It recites that nearly forty years
have elapsed since the present consti-
tuition was framed and adopted. THAT
numerous independent amendments
have been adopted, sometimes in ap-
parent disregard of their effect upon
the remaining provisions of our funda-
mental law, thus resulting in consid-
cradle inconsistency and doubt as to
the real meaning Of old and new pro-
visions In relation to one another" 1t

tuition as a whole with reference to
