Origin of Jury System
Attributed to Peoples
of European Countries

The exact origin of the jury system
is not known with certainty, it having
been attributed to different European
peoples which at an early period de-
veloped methods of trial somewhat
similar to the early jury trials in Eng
land Trial by battle was cast In the
background By the Norman conquer
ors when the Norman institution OF
recognition by sworn inquest was
adopted. The Curia Regis, or Kings
court, directed the sheriff to select
four knights of the county by Whom
IL knights were selected to serve as
recognitOrs. After being duly sworn
they inquired into the facts of inter-
est to the new rulers of England when
might be subject to public inquiry,
such as matters affecting taxation.
Suitors in cases affecting the title
of real estate, as early as the reign
of Henry II, 1854 to 1889, applied to
the kings court for recognitors whose
verdict, if unanimous, was accepted
as conclusive.
Originally the jury was selected be-
cause of their knowledge of the peo-
pie, locality and customs and thereby
passing upon the facts from a more
intimate knowledge of them. During
the reign of Henry Nv, the jury was
instructed to judge the facts upon the
evidence submitted to it, which is the
single function of the jury Of modern
practice.-Kansas City Star.

For years it was contended by au-
thorities that it was useless even to
use nest eggs as attractions to hens,
that biddy like the COW, could not be
deceived. The on-professional for in
stance, rigidly adhered to the old-time
idea that nest eggs we're requisite.
Prof. George M. Turpin, of Iowa Uni
versity, in a bulletin called the "Nest-
ing Habits of Hens" gives prominent
place to the use of Nest Eggs" He
starts out with the statement that no
data had been established as to
whether the nest egg Influenced biddy
or not. He made a careful test, placing
40 hens in a house and prepared 16
nests for them, some with China eggs,
others hen product, and others again
with no nest eggs. The result Of bid
dy's choice was 214 fresh eggs in the
China bait, 300 in the natural attrac-
ton and 10S in the nests with no cam
outage, showing .35, Al, and II per
cent respectively. The conclusion is
that hens like nest eggs and prefer the
natural one.

Only Suitably Cars for Shipping Poultry


temperature is right for loading, man
provided with a thermometer should
enter as quickly as possible by open
ing one side of one dor, which should
be tightly closed Immediately. The
man should stand midway between the
doors holding the thermometer about
4 feet from the floor until the mercury
has responded to the car temperature,
which ordinarily is accomplished in
from three to five minutes, depending
on the quality of the thermometer The
temperature of the car at this point
should not be above "a degrees r.
If it is more than 38 degrees at this
point, it is dangerous to load the car
for haul requiring intensive refriger-
alton. Unless the shipper is willing
to take chances on the condition in
which his load will arrive at the mar
ket, he should communicate with the
railroad agent and request car which
is able to refrigerate the dressed poul-
try properly.
"All refrigerator cars should be pro-
vided with floor rack 4 inches in the
clear, built of lengthwise stringers
made from by 4 lumber and crosswise
Stats made from l by lumber, with
II inch spaces between. These cross
wise Stats are nailed to the lengthwise
stringers They do not interfere with
trucking the load into the car. They
should extend across the doorway,
since it is this part of the car which
is hardest to refrigerate and where
air circulation is most needed. All
railroad owned refrigerators as rapid
ly as possible are being equipped with
racks which are fastened to the side
walls so that they can be turned back
for cleaning"

Holland Most Systematic
in Cultivation of Oysters

In the industry represented by oy-
ster cultivation Holland is the most
systematic in it's operations and en-
ploys more elaborate methods than any
other country in the world. The nu-
merous sounds that indent the coast OF
Holland, particularly in the region OF
the River Scheldt, afford excellent ia
cilities for the propagation OF the oy-
ster and enable the country to conduct
the most successful oyster Industry IN
Europe. Public dredging is not permit
ted as the result of that system was
the threatened exhaustion Of the fish
cries, and the beds have been carefully
surveyed and specific tracts are leased
to individuals and companies who are
thus enabled to conduct the propaga-
ton Of the oyster in systematic man
ner that insures the best results from
the territory available.

Serbian Families, Once
Rich, Now Make Homes in
Barns and Chicken Coops

In northern Serbia many families,
wealthy before the war, have been
found by officers of the American Re
lief administration and the American
Red Cross living in stables and chicken
cOops.
Their homes had been destroyed by
the advancing or retreating armies.
Now their beds were heaps of straw
covered with burlap. 1t was all that
remained as furniture in their once
pretentious estates. Penniless and
with no clothing except what they
wore, these people returned in pitiable
condition. Many Of the refugees made
their way across Serbia in makeshift
garments of burlap bags, which had
contained American food sent to re-
lieve their hunger.
The condition of the Serbian peas
ants is beyond description. A large
proportion are homeless. Most fam
lilies have been deprived of their wage
earners by death. The mother is now
obliged to support herself and chill

Persia First Country
to Discover the Secret
of Aromatic Substances

The first nation to learn the secret
of aromatic substances was Persia,
says London Tit-Bits. The priests Of
Egypt were the only people who
studied science at that time, and
Egyptian perfumes achieved great
celebrity, especially those made in
Alexandria.
Reserved originally for religious
rites, perfumes subsequently became
of current use among the wealthy
classes. During banquets they were
diffused through the halls and were
burned in profusion.
The Israelites during their sojourn
in Egypt adopted the use Of aromatic
substances, primarily for religious
purposes and afterward for personal
usage. The Jews were fond of CO.'S
metics and even used them to paint
the face.
All these perfumes were extracted
from essences Of trees and various
plants. The Greeks, who loved ele-
gance, we're especially addicted to the
use of perfumes, and they taught their
secrets and usage to the Romans. The
latter. in the days of their decadence,
went so far as to scent the coats Of
their dogs.
In the middle ages the Arabs, Vene-
tians, GenOese and FlOrentines be-
came famous for the preparation Of
sweet smelling essences.

TREES GROW BEST ON SLOPES
Roughest Areas on Farm Present Most
Favorable Localities for Sue
cessfuI Growth.
CBy W. J. MORRILL,, Colorado Agricul-

(By w. j. MORRILL,, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Trees, especially cone bearing trees,
seem to prefer newly eroded soil.
Steep slopes are exposed to compara-
lively rapid erosion and here trees
do the best. Level ground indicates
old soil, old in the sense that it was
derived from rock, as rule, longer
ago than soil found on steep slopes.
Old soil probably contains an excess
of soluble salts, too much for best
tree growth.
In the mountains one sees the steep
slopes clothed with trees, while the
occasional fiat spot is likely to be
bare Of trees. The toughest areas on
the farm present the most favorable
localities for successful tree growing.

KEEP VEGETABLES IN WINTER

Point Is Preferred for Beets,

(By A. F. YEAGER, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College)
Turnips, beets, and carrots will keep
best at a temperature slightly above
freezing. Cabbage will stand consid-
erable freezing, and satisfy and pars-
nips may be left in the soil over winter
If desired. Squashes and pumpkins
will keep best in warm dry place.
A warm attic where it does not freeze
is good. Potatoes require a cool place
not too dry. Cabbage and nearly all
root crops may be stored in the ground.
They must be put deep enough to be
below the frost line and should be sur
rounded with straw to keep them from
direct contact with the soil.

to burn properly the fire will spread
slowly downward if the air draft is
right. This method secures the most
complete combustion because the gases
from the unburned coal at the bottom
must pass through the burning layer
at the top, and thus become completely
burned. 1t is admittedly harder to
build and control this kind of a fire,
but the saving in fuel often justifies
the extra trouble.

Scrupulous care in preceding a re-
frigerator car for shipping dressed
poultry, always a matter Of impor-
tance, is doubly so now, in the opinion
of fOOdresearch experts. The greater
necessity for care comes, in the first
place, of the fact that there is a ma
tion-wide ice shortage. The second
important element is that, following
the stress of wartime transportation,
the refrigerator equipment of the coun-
try is in a rundown condition. The
car should be carefully examined, the
experts say, to see that it admits not
even pin point of light. Then it
should be tested and, if it fall short of
standard there should be no hesita-
tion about rejecting it and calling on
the railroad agent for a car that will
meet the requirements. Extreme care,
the experts believe. is essential just
now for the preservation of poultry in
transit, and the chief of the depart
ment's food research laboratory has
just issued the following definite in
formation as to how satisfactory re-
suits are to be attained:
Select Car Day Before Loading
"When the refrigerator car is set for
icing, enter it and with doors and
matches tightly closed look carefully
for any crack or point of daylight.
The car should be absolutely black
with not pin point of light anywhere.
If there are distinct cracks around the
doors or matches, the car will not main
tain sufficiently low temperature and
should not be iced for the hauling of
dressed poultry or any other commod-
ity requiring ice and salt refrigeration.
Be sure also that the drain pipes are
open and in good working order.
"The selected car should be set for
icing at least "a hours before it is to
be loaded It's bunkers should then
be filled three-quarters full with finely
broken ice that is, no piece should be
larger than a mans fist. When the
bunkers are three-quarters full, tamp
the ice down well so that all cracks
and crannies are filed. Then add one
quarter of the calculated amount of
salt on the 12 per cent basis. For in
stance, If the bunker holds 5000
pounds of ice, when three-quarters full
it will contain $3.50 pounds. On top
Of this amount of ice scatter $50
pounds of coarse gray rock salt. Mix
this salt very lightly with the top ice
and directly on top Of it place more
crushed ice until the bunker is full.
Then add the remainder of the calcu-
lated amount of salt, which, in this
case, would be 450 pounds. Mix it
very lightly with the fine ice so that
the salt does not penetrate into the
mass Of ice more than or 5 inches;
level the surface and quickly close the
matches.
Right Temperature Is 81 Degrees.
with both bunkers so iced and salt
ed, the car should stand for "a hours.
