JUDGES IMPOSE
 ODD SENTENCES

In the reports of the commission now holding an inquiry into the riots in India, one of the witnesses stated that 8 prisoner was given what must be one of the most extraordinary sentences on record. He was ordered as a punishement to write poem in praise of the judge
 Many funny punishments have been awarded by judges. A laborer named Patrick Knight was once charged with leaving his wife and child with out support. He was ordered by the court to return home and walk the floor for two hours each night with his baby in his arms.
 Another remarkable punishm ent awarded, by a stipendiary magistrate on a frowsy-looking tramp who wa: charged before him with vagrancy

Despite all these advantages, hairy !
vetch is not one of the major forage
crops. The acreage is far below that
Of several others Of less value. For
age specialists of the United States de-
ypartment Of agriculture say that this
crop could be %profitably grown on a
great many more farms.
Hairy vetch, with all its excellent
qualities. is not without some objec-
tionable features. Perhaps the most
serious is that it will not stand up
right without support. AS a hay crop,
therefore, it must he planted with rye
or some other stiff -stalked crop.
There is sometimes difficulty in get
ting a stand, and on the other hand
in eNterminating it when it is once
established.
The high cost of seeding has been
perhaps the principal factor in pre-
venting it's general use. Specialists
hold out no hope for cheap seed. but
they assert that the advantages of the
crop are sufficient to justify it's plant
ing even at high cost. This = particu-
larly true, they say. in the states bor-
dering on tho Great Lakes and i'll
most of the Atlantic and Gulf coast
states.
The subject of seed production in
various localities is discussed in De-
partment Bulletin S76, copies Of which

Now is rAc time to keep the ut
worms out Of next springs corn land.
A little extra effort now may v re-
planting tho corn in The spring.
Injurious cutworlns hatch from
eggs laid by the ordinarily cutworm
moths, usually in September. The
worms become half grown before win
ter, when they so deeper In the soil
for Information. In the spring they
again come to the surface and resume
feeding. TEis is the stage that is so
injurious to young corn.
Cutworm moths always lay their
eggs in grassy, weedy places during
the early fall. Should the vegetation
be removed from this land duripg this
early fall laying period. the moths will
hunt for favorable places to deposit
their eggs elsewhere, the result being
that the land free from vegetation will
be practically from cutworms the fol-
lowing spring.

He Has . Habit Of Reaching Into the
Kings Pocket and Helping Himself.

Tubby. the Black Bear, had grown
to be a big fellow now and II any
Of the smaller creatures should see

Tinker. Boil said to him: wv must
visit another place before we rsearn
to the Palace. This place is down
near the swamp, toward the river.
I haven't seen the dwellers down
there for a long time"
Tinker tapped the Stone Of Knowl-
edge, n soon they were away on
their journey to the swamp. Tubby
always enjoyed going with the King
thing good to eat In his pocket. And
If there is any n thing that Tubby
likes better than my other, 1t 10
something good to eat.
He has a habit Of reaching into the
Kings pocket and helping himself.
He did thai now and pulled out VIVA
he thought was a turnip from the
Kings garden. He took a good bite
of it, and then something happened.
Ile began to sneeze and cough. and
tears came into his ayes. His tongue
was burning like nre. He thought
he would die
Tinker Bob never said a word. for
he thought it would be a good lesson
the kind that Tubby thought 1t, was.
1t was an Indian turntp, or he root
Of Mr.. Jack-in-the pulpit. After this
experience Tubby was a little more
careful about taking things from tho
Kings pocket.
Now they had arrived at the
swamp. Right in the edge of the
for both Tubby and Tinker Bob to
hide behind. And that's just what
they did, for the King heard some
fcreatures talking. This Is what thoy
heard. You come right here ill /
fit his bonnet on you, then I'll show
you how to make a squat IN tho
grass"
The little creature was playing
around an old log in the thioket. He
didn't want TO get a bonnet fitted to
his head, and he wasn't Interested IN
the way to make a squat In the
grass, but he had to mind what war
said and he wandered over to his
mother till she tried the bonnet on
his head.
II don't want q bonnet" whiucd
the little fellow.
"But you will want q bonnet when
it gets cold this winter. Now you
just hold still a minute. There now
you come with me till I show how tc
hide yourself in the grass"
Then the little fellows mother
found a clump Of grass and backed
herself into it without disturbing the
looks of the grass. She made the
young chap practice this till he could
do it as we'll as she.
Who do you think It was? Well
it was old Granny Swamp Rabbit and
her young son. Do you think he al.
ways did as he was taught? Wei

to carly fall play this land if possible.
If the vegetation on the land in ques-
