MJfi HE mere name of the Rus if ‘ sian secret police has al MU ways inspired a feeling of ' -"f dread in every honest American heart. Yet the mSassassination of the gam ^ bier Rosenthal in New />]\\\ York revealed a murder ' V( ous ring that makes the czar's spy system appear tame by comparison. Furthermore, it seems that the rest of the nation, which shuddered with virtuous horror at the Manhattan crimes, has good reason to feel asham ed. Compared to Russia, this joyous land of freedom averages more than three murders to one. Worse than Russia by far is this country in its reckless disregard for human life; and it is piling up homi cide records pt such a rate that even insurance experts are beginning to wonder if our vaunted civilization is progressing as fast as we think. It Is always an “open season" for unpopular Russian officials. Pot shots at them are never held to violate the ethics of true sportsmanship. Aside from them, however, the Russian is not usually looking for human game. When it comes to real execution, a New York gunman of the good old days before Lieutenant Becker was convicted would put the ordinary ni hilist in the class of sparrow shoot ers. For real deviltry, the nicely manicured murderers of the Second avenue coffee houses were in a class by themselves; the rough-necked, long-bearded Russian agitators, who knew no better than to throw the primitive and unwieldly bombs, could never expect to rival .their records. Barring nihilists and anarchists, however, the great mass of Russians are not murderers at heart. By far the greatest proportion of the popula tion is composed of ignorant peasants, who drudge along as best they may ■with an extra portion of food and drink on feast days. They are stolid individuals, with a tingle of pessim ism and melancholy as the common heritage of the Slav race. Considering that almost exactly one official a day is brought down, the Russian marksmanship may be held to be fairly good, in view of the primi tive methods and weapons. In the body of the population, though, the homicides are not greatly, if any, in excess of those of England. For the five years 1907 to 1912, ac cording to figures recently given out by the statistical department of the ministry of the interior, there were 7,716 killings, an average of 1,543 an nually. With only 298 homicides a year to her 35,000,000 people. Eng land is one of the few nations with a record as low or lower. On the oth er hand, America, with about 3,000 slayings per year in her “registration area” alone, is at the top of the life taking nations. Just how many murders there are In this country in a year has never been definitely ascertained. It is known, however, that, in the 53 per cent, of the population included in the states that keep accurate vital statistics, the ratio of killings per 100,000 of population has ranged from 5 to 6. In the big cities It has gone as high as 8 3. Judging from the known to the unknown there must be at least 5,000 to 6,000 persons slain every years. For instance, during 1911, there were 1,300,lives taken in our thirty largest cities, giving the high-water ratio above quoted. In other words, there are almost as many persons killed in our big towns as in the whole of Russia. In the decade ending with 1910 there were nearly 10,000 lives taken in these same cities, or three times as many as occurred in England in the same length of time. On this point F. L. Hoffman In a recent article in the Spectator, an in surance journal, said: “The comparison brings out in star tling contrast the disregard of human life in the United States at'the pres ent time. The subject is obviously one of most serious Importance, not only to life insurance companies, but also to the public at large, and, grant ing the defects in the available statis tics, there can be no question of doubt buy that the American homicide rate is exceedingly high and that the rate is on the increase. A' condition of this kind is not compatible with the common assumption that actual pro THE MURDEROUS RECORD OF AMERICA COMPARED WITH THAT OF RUSSIA AND OTHER NATIONS.

Nor is it strange that | we reach a point where as Mr. Hoff ■ man says, we begin to have grave doubts as to whether our vaunted civilization is all that it is cpacked up to be. Counting only the 30 principal cities, the average ratio per 100,000 of popu lation has increased from a since the ; decade ending with 1891 to 7.2 for the 10 years ending with 1911. The maxi mum so far was reached in 1907, when the ratio rose to 7.8. Such a showing, indeed, moved our former ambassador to Germany, An drew D. White, to declare some years ago in a speech to the students of Cornell University, of which he used to be president: “My own studies on the subject, which have now lasted through years and have been made in all parts of the Union, convince me that we lead the civilized ..world, with the excep tion, perhaps, of I^ower Italy and Si cily, in murders, and especially in un punished murders. “In proof of this you have only to consult statistics for the last 15 years, which show that the number of mur ders has risen in proportion far be yond that of the increase of popula tion and from about 3,000 a year to close upon 10,000. Also that of recent years only about one homicide in 74 has been capitally punished.” While there were more than 1,650 murders in American cities in 1911 there were in all the Nation les3 than a hundred executions. When it comes to a section study of jnurder, the south, with its large colored population, leads. While in actual numbers Chicago is at the head of the “murder cities,” its ratio is far eclipsed by some of the smaller towns below it. Lowest of all ratios are show-n by the eastern cities. 10 of which during 1911 had 442 homicides or 5.2 per 100. 000 of population. Much worse were the central municipalities, six of which showed 391 slayings or 9 per 100,000. Just a shade better were the three biggest western towns, with 67 killings or a ratio of 8.a. Away the highest was the southern group, nine of which produced 400 casualties, reaching the terrible rate of 20 per 100,000 or one for every 5,000 of their population. Old-Fashioned Pinks. The wonderful carnations at the Westminster show make one think of the relations between “carnation” and “pink” as names of flowers and as names of colors. “Pink,” the color, clearly comes from the flower, which was perhaps so called from its small size—"pinkie” in Scotland meaning anything small, particularly the little finger and small beer. But “carna tion” is a more complicated case. The color is named from the flower now, but the flower-name seems to mean flesh-tinted. One variety was known as “horse-flesh.” But Spenser speaks of “coronations,” and some derive the name from “corona,” a crown, carna tion having been favorite flower for wreaths.—London Chronicle. Word to the Wise. There is an artist belonging to that famous colony of intellectuals which is situated at Scituate, Mass., who mentions, in passing, that “the Lord doesn’t color butterflies as he does elephants. And still you see women weighing anywhere from 150 to 200 pounds dressed in ail sorts of bright colors. If you are large, dress in quiet shades unless you wish to dis turb the peace. Small women can dress like humming birds and par rots and still be attractive. In fact, the more petite one is the more be coming the brighter colors are.” The theatrical managers who are scouring the country for plays might try scouring a few of those they al ready have. To Fix Pencil Drawings. Dissolve a piece of gum arable In ■warm water and spray it lightly over a pencil drawing with an atomizer to fix the picture. A regular fixant may be bought, but this one answers all purposes. If the gum Is dissolved in alcohol the solution will keep Indefi nitely. Pin the picture to the wall, apply the fluid lightly and allow It to dry. The coating will prevent the lines from becoming blurred. It Is an excellent method of preparing draw ing* *■» rand to publishers. The old yellow tone of a drawing, so much ad mired by art lovers, may be given it by pouring skimmed milk over it and drying it in the sun. It will give a decided yellow cast. Little Individuality. We are all as a rule too easily in fluenced. There is too little individ uality in human beings. The young mind leans with Im plicit faith upon the statements of elders, never venturing to dissent or to have a contrary opinion. Why keep your mind in this condition of dependence? No one knows any better than you yourself whether you are honest with yourself. No one is more fitted to be a confidant and guide than your own mind and heart. Learn to make your own decisions and abide by them. The girl who thinks no man is1 good enough for her is quite surprised to find that the men are satisfied her think so. EXPERIMENTS AND COMPARISONS MADE IN FEEDING CATTLE FOR PRODUCTION CF BEEF Cold Pressed Cottonseed-Cake Proves to Be 50 Per Cent. More Valuable as Source of Protein Than Wheat Bran—Larger Gains and at Less Expense Were Made With Alfalfa. Bulletin No. 132, entitled "Econom- ! leal Beof Production,” by H. R. Smith, has just been issued by the Nebtaska experiment station. This report em braces 52 pages and gives the results of four experiments in which compari sons are made of different rations suit able for producing beef in Nebraska • and of different types and breeds of j cattle fed under like conditions. The | general conclusions as published in ( the summary of this bulletin are as follows: "(1) In comparing bran, linseed meal and cold pressed cottonseed ! Yearling Devon Bull. cake, each as a source of protein sup plementing corn meal and silage, the ; cold pressed cake proved to be worth j 50 per cent, more per ton than wheat bran, and linseed meal 18 per cent, more per ton than cold pressed cot tonseed cake. "In the use of each of these supple- ! mentary protein feeds with corn meal ! and prairie hay the cold pressed cot- ; tonseed cake showed a value per ton 22 per cent, greater than wheat bran, and the linseed meai 28 per cent, more than the cotton seed cake. “(2) Where alfalfa was used in con nection with corn meal and silage, or corn meal and prairie hay, large gains were made without the use of a con centrated protein food. The gainj in both experiments where alfalfa was fed were larger, less costly, and much more profitable. These experiments, supplementing what had previously been found, show that beef can be pro duced in Nebraska at a lower cost and with greater profit on a combination of the corn plant and alfalfa hay than on any other combination of foods available in the state. "(3) These experiments show that corn silage gives larger gains than shredded corn stover when each is fed Splendid Type of Hereford. with corn meal and alfalfa, and for beef production is worth 60 per cent, more per ton. “(4) Corn stover has a value 80 per cent, as great as prairie hay. and the portion consumed is fully as valuable. Prairie hay at its usual market price is not profitable for fattening cattle. “(5) In comparing a ration consist ing of a heavy feed of corn meal, al falfa and a li^ht feed of silage, with a ration consisting of a medium quan tity of each feed and a ration consist ing of a light feed of corn, alfalfa and a heavy feed of silage, yearling steers being fattened for market made cheap er and more profitable gains on the larger feed of corn and smaller feed of corn silage. "(6) In growing calves to be fat tened later for market, the cheapest gains were made on a liberal ration of corn silage and alfalfa without grain, the cost of grains increasing in pro portion to the amount of corn meal fed. “(7) These experiments show that there is a great variation in the capac ity of individual steers to make gains under like conditions. The data do not show that the individuals of one breed make larger gains than those of another breed. The variation in gain seems to be fully as great within a breed as between representatives of different breeds. “(8) Type of conformation seems to \ Calves in Stanchions. be a controlling factor, the low-set, more compact types having something of an advantage in gains and much in early maturity over the rangy types. “(91 Gains seem to correlate to a considerable degree with body capac ity as indicated by the size of the mid dle girth, the largest gainers having relatively larger middle girths at the same weight in most instances. "(10) While the average gains made by all dairy bred steers are nearly the same as those made by the beef bred steers up to the age of twenty-thre# months, the latter showed in most in stances a higher condition of flesh, a larger proportion of high-priced meat, and sold for a higher price per hun dred, returning larger profits to the feeder on the basis of the same initial cost per hundred.” HOW FERTILIZERS SHOULD BE USED For Best Results They Should Be Combined With Animal Ma nure or Rotted Sod. To obtain the best results from the use of chemical fertilizers they should always be used in connection with ani mal manure or rotted sod. The two give the greatest returns at the least cost. The quantity to apply to the acre will depend upon the condition I of the ground. In soils which have been built up by the free use of sta ble manure or green crops a very small quantity of fertilizer can be profitably used to start the seed. About 250 to 300 pounds may be ap plied to the acre in the hill for corn. Use a good corn fertilizer. This quantity will give the corn a vigorous start, which it will maintain through out the growing season. A fertilizer should always be drilled in with the grain. If sown in the drill or dropped in the hill mix It with the earth be fore dropping the grain or setting the plant, says a writer in the Baltimore American. The phosphate should never be thrown In a pile in the hill; sprinkle it over a four-inch space, so the first rainfall can dissolve the plant food. It is then ready to be taken up by the delicate corn roots. Land that is so poor that it cannot grow weeds will not give a profitable yield of corn with a little fertilizer dropped in the hill. Such land needs rotted vegetable matter. This can be best furnished by sewing cow-peas or buckwheat and turning the crop down when in full bloom. Thorough prepar ation of the land before planting and extra culture during the season of growth will often give a fair yield from thin land. I have made a great many practical experiments in the ap plication of fertilizers to red clay and rotten rock soils and I have invaria bly found that the most profit was realized when a good bonemeal or other nitrogen fertilizer was used in connection with stable manure or rotted clover and grass sod. Food for Sheep. Sheep should be well fed with good food, and a variety of rich feed rather than a great quantity. Hay, grains and roots make fat sheep, and if we raise the mutton breeds we must feed for size and early development. Value of Sheep. The sheep is a home-living animal, yielding as it does a return from both fleece and flesh; it brings a cash re turn twice a year, and at a time when it becomes very acceptable to the farmer. i POULTRY RAISING FOR FARM GIRLS (By ANNIE HOFFARTH.) To the boy on, a farm Is usually : given some property of his own, even | when quite small. It is no uncommon ! thing to see him given a share in I the crops when he is large enough to j do a man's work. The father fur nishes tools, team, seed and fertilizer, I and the boy "crops" w ith him on the i same terms as his tenant. This is ; perfectly proper and as it should be; but why not give his sister a chance, ; also? There is the flock of poultry and buildings; or, if there are no build ings, there should be some erected right away. Then turn the poultry raising over into her hands, letting her have the entire care and manage i ment of the fowls, for a certain speci fied share of the profit. Measure out and set aside so much' wheat, oats and corn for their feed, and if you do not think her work about the house pays for this feed ; over and above her board and clothes, charge it up to the flock. *To give her j a fair start, get her a good 100-egg in i cubator, and brooder of correspond I ing size, so that she can raise early | chickens. Any girl of average intelligence can ' learn to manipulate a simply con structed incubator, or at least I did, and my machine was the first one I ever saw. I am now earning more money than several of my girl friends who are stenographers and clerks In : the city. Poultry raising is a business that calls for brains, and It is a business that will grow. It is not overcrowd ed; you are not subjected to the whims of an exacting employer; you are not forced to live in a third-class boarding house; there is no car fare to pay; and best of all. the girl can stay right at home with the dear mother. With geese as with all other classes of poultry, it is best, as well as most profitable, to keep only the better j breeds, Toulouse or Embden.

The good roads question is one which today is occupying the atten tion of every thinking man in the United States. This question does not affect alone the farmer or auto mobilist but is one which is of vital Importance to all of us, owing to the fact that every extension of the good roads movement and tlie completion af every new artery has resulted not anly in a greater production of food stuffs in that particular section, but has cheapened them on account of the small cost of getting them into the market. Although at the present time there are between 15,000 and 20,000 miles of improved roads in the t'nited States, either under construction or proposed, no section of road is receiving the careful investigation or is being watched as closely by the road mak ers of the country and by good roads advocates, as is the 100-mile road which Gen. T. Coleman du Pont is constructing at his own expense through the state of Delaware. General du Pont felt that any tmount of money he might give for a load would be of far greater benefit and would have a far greater influ ence on the happiness and material prosperity of the people of his stats than any other project he might se lect. To quote his own words: "My abject in building the road is not only to provide a good highway where it is badly needed, but also to work out in a practical way a problem that will, if successful, revolutionize the build ing of roads in the United States. The ijiuuit-iu is, now can a iree couuiry road be built to make it pay Its origi nal cost, cost of maintenance and a fair return on the money invested.” The solution of this problem as worked out by General du Font, as a result of his experience on the Dela ware road, is a system of graduated assessments, so arranged that all who receive direct benefits from the road are to bear their share of its expense, at the outset, and will later be recom pensed by rentals of the unused por tions of the road itself. Suppose, for instance, that this Delaware road was being constructed by this method, instead of being giv en by General du Pont. On the du Pont road some twenty-six acres of land have been condemned for every mile of road. Revenue from the road will be partially derived from trolley franchises, from water, telephone, tel egraph and sewer right of way rentals and partially from the rental of that part of the twenty-six acres per mile which is not used for actual road con struction. As laid out, the du Pont road con sists of some seven parts, although not all of them will be developed im mediately, the idea being to increase the size of the road as the traffic be comes heavier. When completed the road will consist of a forty-foot strip in the middle, which will be given over to automobiles, and on either side of this forty-foot strip a fifteen foot strip, which lias'been reserved for trolley lines. Beyond the trolley lines there will be thirty-foot roads for horse-drawn vehicles and heavy traffic. Adjoining each of these last named roads will be dirt roads, fifteen feet wide, under which will be laid water pipes, sewers, telephone and telegraph conduits, etc., thus eliminat ing any necessity for tearing up the paved portion of the road. ESTIMATES FOR THIS YEAR Annual Appropriations by Govern ment Indicate Strides Being Made in Road Improvement. No better idea of the forward strides being made by the office of public roads can be had than from figures connected with the annual ap propriations. The appropriation for the present fiscal year is $41,400 more than for the preceding year, while the estimate for the fiscal year of 1913 1914 is $134,120 more than the present allotment. One of the items men tioned in connection with the appro priation for the coming fiscal year is : roadmaking investigation, for which j work an increase of $S9.000 is asked. The present amount available for such work is $70,000. The next highest in crease is asked for road management. $31,000, as but $25,000 is available this year. The amount now ready for use iu 5eld experiments, $20,000, the office would like doubled. Included in this list of necessary increases is one for salaries, thus placing the office of pub lic roads on a par with practically all other branches of the government service that are striving to raise the pay of the government clerk. The ap propriation asked for this is a raise from $37,020 for the present year to $54,400. Combat Dusty Roadways. An English city is experimenting with granular calcium chloride to combat dusty roadways, applying about half a pound to the square yard. Usefulness of Horse. The large number of draft horses that remain strong and supple after years of hard work furnishes con vincing proof that their usefulness is not confined to such narrow limits as many men suppose. Sheep Industry. Census report shows that there have been no material changes in the sheep industry in the last ten years. Worthless dogs are largely responsi ble for the slow growth of the sheep Industry.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG Hilltop, Kan.—“About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon it began to spread until it formed large blotches. The itching was ter rible and almost constant. Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand it. For near ly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief. Some salves seemed to make it worse until there were ugly sores, which .vould break open and run. “One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment and began by washing the sores with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day. I noticed a change and got more Cuti cura Soap and Ointment and in a few weeks I was cured. It has healed so nicely that no scar remains.” (Signed) Mrs. Anna A. Lew, Dec. 17, 1911.

One of the best known Ixmdon newspapers, in a review of “Lincoln's Own Stories,” collected by Anthony Gross, commented on the anecdote which Lincoln was fond of telling of a family of such migratory habits that they were able to get everything into one wagon, and even the chick ens were so used to being moved that whenever they saw the wagon sheets brought out they laid themselves on their backs and crossed their legs, ready to be tied. The British review er, with an insular sense of humor, remarked: “One feels a little as though something must have been ac cidentally left out of this and of many other stories in the book.” Costly City Improvements.
