the soil, with implements that
will not bring the subsoil to the

Use seed of the best variety, in

In cultivated crops, give the

. Use intensive tillage during the

Secure a high content of hn

Carry out a systematic crop ro

he was in the habit of imbibing

Whereupon she told him to go his

In the contest between Setzer

Much speculation as to what
will be the result followed. Most
people took it for granted that a

but such is not the case. The law
plainly provides that in such a

probably a little too rigid with
children at times, but the modern
parent has gone to the other ex
treme to such an extent that pa

unknown among the gr-.at ma
jority of parents. If children
were controlled at home and
trained there would be uo need for
a reformatory, but under the
present conditions there iB not
only great need out actual neces
sity for it.
It is really an outrage that the
public must be taxed to provide
for and train and control children
who should be controlled and
trained acnome, out wnoee pa

dren that the State must perform
that duty. But. there is no help

en by hand. It is of heavy qual
ity and of beautiful! texture, spec-,
ially imported foe a customer who
desires a suit of silk. In Svria
both men and women wear, silk
outer garments, and the cloth is
very durable. Mr. Sale'eby ex
plains that the silkworm industry
is conducted on quite a scale in
Syria. The eggs of the moth are
sent out from . France, and after
being cared for properly, hatch
about April 1st By the first
weeks of May the worm has de
veloped and has made its cocoon
its coffin, for so it proves, as the
cocoons are gathered, soaked in
hot water, or steamed, so that the
chrysalides are killed, but not all,
for the best cocoons are saved to
hatch out the moths which are to
lay the seeds for another year.
The silk of the cocoons is then
reeled on a wheel, and sold to the
factories. Mulberry leaves, as is
known, constitute the food of the
silkworm, and Mr Saleeby says
that four acres of trees will yield
about 1,000 pounds of lint a sea
son. This lint sells for 80 to 85
cents a pound.
