FARM :
POULTRY
WINTER ROOTS FOR POULTRY
Fowls Relish eeets and Turnips a.
Substitutes for Green Food
Better to Feed Raw.

Turnips and beets are good green
food substitutes, and fowls relish
them. They can be fed by cutting in
half and allowing the fowls to pick
them to pieces, or they can be ground
fine in q bone cutter and fed in
troughs. It is better to feed them
raw than cooked.
Turnips contain 90.6 per cent water,
08 per cent ash, 1.3 per cent protein,
IL per cent fiber, So per cent nitro
gen.
Sugar beets contain 26.7 per cent
water, 9.2 per cen: ash, 1.5 per cent
fiber, 9.9 per cent nitrogen free ex:
tract, and Oh per cent fat.
Turnip seed may be sown either
very early in spring and an early sum.
mer crop secured, or later in July and
August for winter storing. For early
use plant in rows one to one and one.
half inches deep and twelve to eigh.
teen inches apart in the row.
In field culture the rows are often
thirty inches apart to facilitate horse
cultivation. The seed is sometimes
sown broadcast from July 20 to Au.
gust 1, when crop is grown for
stock. Two to three pounds of seed
are required for an acre.
Beets are usually sown the latter
part Of April or first part of May.
About the same treatment in planting

turnip.

PLACE TO FEED THE CHICKS
Difficult Problem on Account Of Old
Hens Eating Most Of Feed-Runs
Are In Favor.

It is often hard to feed little chicks
on account Of the old hens eating most
Of the feed. To prevent this make
q feeding creep for the special use Of
the little chicks, writes Owen Crisman
of Russell, Kan, in Farmers Mail and
Breeze. To make one of these runs
take six pieces Of by Pinch lumber,
2 feet long, and saw one end of each to
bevel. Nail two Of them with the
beveled ends firmly together. Nail the
rest up in the same way. When fin.
lshed they look like three VS. upside

OLD COURT PROCEDURE
eoMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE MODERN DAY.
Elaborate Ceremonial and Dienified
Proceedings Were Frequently Die.
pensed With In the Early Days
Of the Country.

"Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Know ye
oil that the honorable circuit court
Of Peoria county now stands convened
pursuant to adjournment"
This is the impressive ceremony
used and the words spoken aloud when
circuit court, Judges step to the bench.
In federal courts all spectators and at.
taches are required to arise and re.
main standing until the court has been
seated.
In the days of 1918 to 1880 things
were different, as early historical rec.
ords show, observes the Peoria Trib-
une. Records Of those days show one
incident in which Judge John Rey'
nolds was seated on the circuit bench
in Washington county when the fol.
lowing procedure was followed:
Boys, come in. Our John is going
to hold court" the sheriff said to the
spectators, jurors and attorneys who
had gathered on the grass in the court.
house yard.
The courts in those days were held
mostly in log houses or in barrooms
of village taverns fitted up for the pur.
pose, with temporary bench for the
court and benches and chairs arranged
for the jurors, lawyers and spectators.
In general, the judges were adverse
to rendering decisions on points of law
and preferred to submit all questions
to the Jurors for a decision,
One instance is cited when attorneys
requested the court to instruct the ju.
rors On questions Of law. The judge
after rubbing his head and face with
his hands and rejecting a few mo.
ments, said to the lawyers:
why, gentlemen, the jury under
stands it; they need no instructions;
nc doubt they will do justice in this
case."
The same Justice presided in q case
Of man named Green who was con
victed of murder. It became the un
pleasant duty Of the judge to pass sen.
tence upon the man. He called the
prisoner before him and said:
"Mr. Green, the jury says you are
guilty Of murder and the law says you
are to be hung. want you and all OF
your friends down ON Indian creek tc
know that it Is not who condemn you
It is the jury and the law. Mr.. Green
what time would you like to be hung
The law allows you time for prepared
ness"
Il am ready at any time. your honor
Those who kill the body have no power
to kill the soul. My preparation is
made and I am ready" was the reply
of the prisoner at the bar. t.
"Mr. Green, 1t is a very serious mat
ter to be hung: it can't happen to 8
man but once in his life. You had bet
ter take all the time allowed. l will
give you until this day four weeks
was the sentence of the court.
James Turney, attorney general
who was prosecuting the case, remind
ed the court that it was the duty Of the
Judge to warn the prisoner of the cen
sequences he was facing. to reprove
him for his guilt, and to warn him
against the judgment in the world tc
come. The court replied:
"Oh, Mr.. Turney, Mr.. Green under
stands the whole matter; he knows he
has got to be hung; you understand
It, don't you, Mr.. Green7"
