Plalnv1lle people acquainted with

that Salerno must have been insane
at the time Of the killing as there
was every indication that he was liv-

FLOWERS HAVE REPAID CARE
Those of Today lncomparaby More Beautiful Than Any Known
 to Our Ancestors.

Our grandmothers had one gladi- olus about as handsome as a ragged stick dotted with brick-red paint. We have scores, with a vivid, orchid like beauty and wonderful range of color They had stiff, formal dahlia, that looked like a statuette carved out of colored soap. We have dahlias almost as beautiful and graceful as the rose. The whole race of rambler roses is new so are the rugosa roses :; the Darwin tulips are things of yes- terday-and it is only little more than fifty years since the first golden banded lily lowered on American soil. Yet who can imagine perfect garden without one?
 The old-fashioned garden of today is the olden spirit working with new materials. It ought to be, and in time 1t will be, more beautiful than anything our ancestors ever knew.

DEATH RECALLS OLD SCANDAL
Late Stephen w. Dorsey Accused of Being Leader in "Star Route"
 Fraud.

The death of Stephen W. Dorsey, former United States senator from Arkansas, at Los Angeles a short time ago recalls the "star-route scan- dal," in which he was accused of being the leader, the Kansas City Star remarks. Star routes were mail routes in the West and Southwest where there were no railroads or steamboats to carry pouches.
 During the Hayes administration a ring of contractors, who bid on carrying mail on these routes, and politicians, through favor, secured control of the routes and by expedit- ing the time required for trips over the various routes and by increasing the number of trips far beyond the needs of the service brought about an increase in the compensation allowed. Also contracts were sublet contrary to law.
 Stephen W. Dorsey was alleged to have been leader of the ring and to have put through such legislation as was needed by his influence in con- gress. The fraud cost the govern ment more than four million dollars.
 President Garfield called for an in- vestigation soon after taking office. The alleged combination was brought to trial. At the first trial two men were convicted. but the jurors after being out three days were unable to agree concerning Senator Dorsey. A second trial brought his aequittal after jury deliberation of day and two nights.

KEEP GOOD OLD BROOD S0WS
Pigs From Mature Animals Average
 Twenty Pounds Heavier Than
 the Produce From GIlts. s%o

Many swine raisers select their brood sows from the early spring lit- ters and breed them in November and December for March and April far TOW. These immature gifts are fre- quently bred to boars of their own age, which makes this practice all the more to be condemned. The Wiscon- sin station found that pigs from ma- ture sows average 20 pounds heavier at eight months of age than the prod uce from gifts.
 The farmer who breeds his gilts to farrow at Il to 13 months old is the one who says that he cannot afford to keep old gows. He fattens the gifts as soon as they have weaned their filters, turning them of in September and se- lects another bunch of spring gilts to produce his next years pig crop. By following this practice for few years the size and vitality of the herd be- come impaired and the busir ess un- profitable.
 Keep the tried brood SOW as long as she produces large filters of strong pigs. When 1t becomes necessary to replace the old SOW, select a gilt from e large litter, feed her for growth rather than for fat, and don't breed her to farrow her first litter before she is 15 to IS months old. A gilt bred at ' or s months old cannot produce 8 strong litter and at the same time at- tain normal development without spe- cial care and it is questionable if such special attention is at all times profit able.
