CHINESE REFORMER NEARLY KILLED BY PRISONERS
 WHOM HE WAS HELPING

PEKING, Oct. 11-A murderous attack upon Wang Yuan-cheng, the superintendent of the model prison in Picking, has brought to the at tention of the general public an in stitution which is worthy of imi- tation in many countries supposed to be far superior to China in the management of penitentiaries.
 Wang Yuan-cheng, the founder and superintendent of the prison, and number of guards were at tackled recently a group of twelve prisoners, who were inspired to re- volt after the restoration of the monarchy. He was stabbed in the head and abdomen with bayonets and dangerously but not fatally wounded. Ten convicts escaped.
 Although MT. Wang-cheng mar rowly missed death through ad- herring to humane methods, he still be lieves in the system adopted in the prison and will not alter it.
 Six years ago MT. Wang was com missioned by Yuan Shih-kai to open a modern prison, and given only $5.- 900 with which to carry out the work. He managed the institution so skilfully, and employed convict labor 30 profitably that the prison now has 33O,OOO in the bank and has paid all it's administrative ex- penses.
 Six hundred men and one hun dred women are confined in the prison, and of this number only twelve participated in the dash for liberty. Practically all the others attempted to prevent violence and to protect the superintendent and the guards.

Through the success attained by
William Shaffer in the growing of
onions on his farm near Eagle, onion
production is likely 10 become one of
the most important of the industries
of that portion of the Boise valley,
upon which Eagle draws for its
support. From two acres of onions
on his farm last year Mr.. Shaffer
realized $1,000, or $500 per acre. This
year he proposes to set three acres Of
land to onions, and he confidently ex-
poets crop revenue commensurate
with that of last year. For the last
six years Mr.. Shaffer has been ex-
perimenting with the production Of
onions with a view OF ascertaining
both the adaptability of the crop to
this section and its profitableness.
Five years ago he had a crop of eight
and one-third acres, which produced
1900 sacks, or $4,000 pounds of on
ions, which he marketed for 65 cents
per 100 pounds, or an average revenue
per acre of S346.20 Carrots are also
raised to great profit by Mr.. Shaffer,
who finds them one of the greatest
feeds for dairy cattle, one ton of car
rots being equivalent to ton of hay
and more of milk producing feed.
Carrots will yield in this section as
much as 80 tons per acre. Mr.. Shat
fer declares, and are worth Sc per
ton.
