will be much more rapid than it
would from the wheat alone, and the
earlier varieties of corn will be in the
roasting-ear stage by the time the
! wheat has begun to harden.
Where land is high priced and the
labor is available, the corn may be
cut and fed in the wheat field or
pasture lot, but it Will be found that
until the corn is we'll hardened, the
pigs will make more meat from each
acre of corn, If fed to them stalks
and all or allowed to hog is down,
than they will from the same area of
corn harvested and fed dry
Barley allowed to stand in the
field without harvesting, will produce
more pounds of pork per acre during
the fall and winter If the pigs do
their own harvesting, than will the
same amount of barley threshed,
rolled and fed in the house or feed
lot.
Ordinarily. it will be found advan-
tageous to give the pigs every eve-
ming light feed of some other kind
of feed than that which is being
hogged-off, for it is we'll recognized
fact that other things being equal,
the greater the variety in the ration
| the better will be the results from
each pound of feed fed. a.
If in hogging-off any kind of crop,
portable fence is used and only so
much of the area uncovered at a
time as the pigs can clean up in three
or four days, there will be less waste
and better gains from the same area
than where the \ are allowed to run
over the whole field The manner,
however in which the hogging-off is
done must depend in great measure
upon the location of the farm, fenc-
ing, labor, water and other factors
that must be considered, but it has
been demonstrated beyond the possi-
bility of doubt that up to the extent
that the pigs do their own harvesting
the cost of producing the meat is re-
duced about one-half.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
lll--Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great c1m
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
Of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types of
American genius iIEention and organ
ization
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in.

BECKER SENTENCE UPHELD
New York Police Lieutenant Must Die
Unless Governor Uses His
Pardoning Power.

Albany, n. Y, May 26.-The second
conviction of former Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker for instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New
York gambler, was upheld yesterday
by the court of appeals. Becker now
must die, unless he can obtain execu-
tive clemency from Governor Whit
man, who as district attorney of New
York, prosecuted him, or can obtain
a reversal by the United States SUI
preme court.
Rosenthal, the gambler, was muir
dered because Becker feared he would
"squeaP' on their connection with a
gambling house. Becker had an in
come far in excess of his salary, which
he received as protection money from
gambling houses. Rosenthal had been
his partner, but the police lieutenant
broke with him
Rosenthal was shot down on the
morning of July 6, 1912, in front of
the Hotel Metropole. A big gray mo-
tor car had driven up to the curb
only a few moments before. Rosen-
thai was called to the street from the
cafe, where he was dining. The men
in the car opened fire and Rosenthal
fell dead. The big car raced away.

MUST GIVE BACK MILLIONS
Federal Court Decision on the Tariff
Case May Force Issue of Pana-
ma Bonds.

Washington, May 2S.-Discussion OF
the necessity for a Panama canal bond
issue in view of prospects of reduced
customs revenues and of refunding
millions already collected was revived
here yesterday as a result of the Gus
toms courts decision which sus-
tanned the so-cal1ed % per cent" clause
of the tariff law granting a reduction
of duties to that amount on goods i'm
ported in American bottoms.
The court also held that the per
cent rebate must be granted on all
goods imported in ships of those coun-
tries with which the United States
has favored nation" treaties which in
cludes the leading nations. The eff
feet of the decision there virtually re-
duces the customs revenues by 3 per
cent
1t was said today that an appeal
would be taken to the supreme court.
If that court sustains the decision,
about $15,0O0,000 in duties already col
lected would have to be refunded. The
government, importers and American
and foreign ship owners were parties
to the suit.

Terre Haute Election Fraud as Bad as
Treason, Says Federal Court

Chicago, May 26--The United States
court of appeals yesterday refused to
lower the bonds Of ex-MayOr Don NJ
Roberts of Terre Haute, Judge Eli
Redman and nine other convicted con-
spirators now serving sentences at
Leavenworth for election corruption
Judge Frank S. Roby OF Indianapolis
pleaded for the men
Not one Of these men has over
$780," pleaded Judge Roby.
Perjury" replied the court, "is no
reason why the bonds should be low
cred"
The court compared the election
cases to the famous dynamite case,
both of which were tried by Judge
Anderson in Indianapolis. The verdict
yesterday sustains in full Judge An
derson's decision.
In the dynamite case" said the
court, "the defendants committed a
crime against society. In this case
they committed a crime against the
government 1t can be compared to
treason"
The court set the week Of June 81
for arguments to be heard here on
the application for a writ Of error
made by Judge Roby in behalf of the
defendants.

PRoDIGAL SON MAKING GOOD
Scion Of New York Family Of Wealth
Washes Dishes in California and
Does Farming on Side.

The young scion Of a New York
house Of wealth who has been found
after a years search washing dishes
for a camp Of graders in California
offers an interesting variant of the
prodigal-son story, the New York
World states
To begin with, there are no husks in
this tale. The boy landed in the I'm
perial valley with only SO, It is true;
but he went to work at once, saved his
cash and will apparently stay on the
road that leads somewhere unless fond
and foolish parents entice him away.
He was washing dishes to I'LL in time
working for himself till mis- 30 leased
acres Of alfalfa should begin TO work
for him.
A falling out with his father started
this young man on his adventures Ii
a much earlier generation he might
have gone to fight Indians or to drive
mules on q canal, those occupations
having once pointed the way to a
place for ones life story in Every.
body's Biography.
On the whole, the story Of the Amer.
lean prodigal is distinctly encouraging
It shows that on occasion we still can
get together the boy, the time and
the place Perhaps the three would
come oftener into conjunction, with
profit to the country and TO society, II
more sons Of too frequently soften
ing and spelling wealth would disa-
gree not disgracefuIly but sufficiently
with father
