We reed a law providing For the pro a-
tlon of Juvenile offenders so that no Child
or youth ehall be confined In any Jail or
lockup excepting aa a laat reaort or for
serious crime, in addition to thla there
ahnuld be enacted a statute establishing
Juvenile courts wherever necessary. We
also need a law compelling changes in all
county and city Jail so that Juvenile of
fenders shall be separated from older and
more hardened criminals and women from
men. A law superseding the vicious and
corrupting fee system, with salaries for all
officials connected with enforcement of
criminal law, would be a long step forward
In crtmlr.al Jurisprudence.
What have we above the crime line?
Homes, churrhea. public school.-., colleges,
universities, technical institutes, art, litera
ture, srlerce. comme-cr all our resource
ful civilization. Be:ow the crime line v-hat?
Locks, bolts, bars, repression, the Iron
heel, the prison brsnd. We hope sometime
to place on the crime line an Industrial in
stitute which shall also be a Christian
home, to stop from falling below the crime
'line those who otherwise would, and raise
up rrom below those who have fallen. We
need a princely giver who will start a fund
far such an Institute. There Is no other
tVld so needy or which promises such larje

President Clark of Omaha delivered bis
annual address, aa follows:
The. state bss very properly undertaken
the care of the destitute insane, epileptics.
Idiots, feeble-minded, crippled and depend
ent children: also to do reformatory worK
for the delinquent and criminal classes and
to assist 'ha old soluier as well as the des
titute, blind and deaf. The stste has no
higher duty and resKnlhlllty ihsn this.
Phe la under obligation alto to protect her
cltlsens sgslnst the evils of commingling
with any of these classes. The manage
ment of stale Institutions has engaged the
thoughtful attention of the best statesmen,
scholars and philanthropists ever since the
first State board of (Parities was estab
lished in Massachusetts In IWB. The dis
cission has lasted for thirty years. On
one side are those who advocated a State
Board of Public Charities with advii-ory
end supervisory powers to co-operate with
local boards for the various Institutions.
Ou the other side, sre those who advocate
Central Board of Control with full ex
ecutive authority of management, thus do
IdH away with local boaros.
You may not be aware of the anomalous
condition of things m Nebraska. The slt
uatloit is pecrl'ar and differ from all other
taten. Most of the other states have local
board of trusses for the vsrlou s'ate In
stitutions. We have no such boards l;i
Nebraska, ur.iess we mnk an exception
f tbs educational Institutions for the
blind and the oeaf nd dumb. For both
these Insllt lions there is . small board of
thres im tubet j. one re-lt.'tnv at Nebraska
t'lty. one O'naha and the other at Pa

ory lommitteef of women bui no loil
lioards N brat ka mad. u ijng step in the
right direction when the Advisory Board
of Htste t hurries was cheated two years
fcK. but aoiFt'onal legislation is required.
Hti'ing stated briefly the situation, allow
me i, ir.ention some specific needs of our
etaie.
tn;f state '.itltutlnn have b-en In ,xil
tlcs from the beglnfflng. I tllllcians avh
out tuilural or acquired fltr es have many
tinvs tecinte si.icriiiter.dprts of stste In
stUuticr.e, atnl rave sqin ncered the peo
til'i money and sunk the Inmates to lower
levels by neglect and Incompetency. The
anomalous situation in Nebraska makes
It Impossible to tske the state Institutions
out of politics and Impossible to avoid the
dangers of political corruption when the
repeuted changes In administration come.
A non political syttem Is needed.
Waste af Paalle Faada.
Nebraska haa paid out from tsn.ono to
tion.ouo annaaily tor ten years, more ".nan
vol necessary. This is a waste of public
ft nds. By going into the open market
the state can save at least tt per cent upon
these purchase. '. he inmates of most of
our slate Institutions need better care and
treatment than Is possible for them under
conditions an they now exist. We are be-
l.tnu the age In the care and treatment of
the Insane, i ha cottage system lor the tn
aare haa een tested and ita superior value
di mrnstratrd. The large prison house
structures for the unfortunatea have
been condemned; and homelike cottages
hrw taken their place,
.important changes In the administration
of the penltentlsry are greatly n-eded.
Rome of you may not realise the conditions
1 tcvalling In that Institution, which tend
to harden th criminals and to make young
men confirmed criminals. The contract sys-
tem In the penitentiary eliminates all
tlioLgnt and effort In the direction of re
lormatory work and simply emphasizes the
- making o iri.rey for the state.
Hasaa far th Frleadtese.
ijre- . - ' -i"
' t TM it.-:tU.llon so constituted that tt
carcely touches the problems of chill
i f.n,uene has not oen the fault of
tba maJiugement nor the superintendents
that so little has been accomplished In the
jiast, but the home Is without official touch
with county Judges and county commis
sioners and other agenciea throughout the
tate so necessary In ordtr to do efficient
work. The only solution of this matter as
It fc. ems to me Is to pass the bill now before
the eglalature to abolish the Home for the
Fr-., mlless, and In its putee create a state
parental school upon a broad, scientific
basis, to do efficient work in every county
in xsenrasaa.
Having mentioned - tome of Nebraska's
rtecde. the question remains what kind ftf
a system of managemen. or state board la
required to meet these necessities. Gov
ernor Savage recommended to the piesent
legislature the abolishment of our Sta'e
1 iwrd ol Charities, and thai the work of
thla board tie referred to churchea and pej
ple who are charitably Int lined. In th s
In shown that he did not uaderstend the
panoses and f mictions of a State Board
or Public Charities.
Rather than put everything pertaining
to the charities ami correction of the state
Into the hands of three men as a Boa -t
of Control. I think It would be better to
form local boards of trustees for the varl
mis Institutions snd then strengthen the
present Stste Bo.tr d t,t Charities. There
sre obte-tlons to this plan as conditions
now exist in our state, and I. therefore.
In view of -jur peculiar situation and In
view -of the stieciul needs of Nebraska,
would recommend the union of two sys
tem of a rime Boara of Public Charities
and Board ot Control in one board. Thla
ca.inot be done al'hout an amendment to
me constitution wntch. we Hope, will soon
bn mad po4ib!e by the legislature pass
lug a bill cr.'Iir. a corttitutional conven
ts n. The kind of state board which '. have
i seemed should be composed of nine mem
bers, three of whom shall be paid officers
of the board, and who ahall perform th
fnctiona a:id duties of a Board of Con
trol. Six of the snembers shall be non
paid advisory members, who shsll be the
representatives of the people, and thus keep
the public In close touch with the state
Institutions. Thus It seems to me that
the broad problems relative to the good of
the wards of the state, social conditlona
snd problems of poverty and prevention
Bf crime througho.it our commonwealth
would have due consideration, and the dan
gers attending a imall Board of Control
would be averted.

The Nebraska -Experimental station has
just Issued bulletin No. 7$, giving th rec
ords of the dairy herd for the last five years.
The bulletin may be rbtalned tree of coat
by residents of the state upon writing to
the Agricultural (Experiment station.
In October, 1S9S, the experiment a'atlon
purchased ten grade Jersey heifers, all to
come fresh in the late fall or early winter.
This small herd was to be used for Investi
gations along the Hue ot dairy husbandry,
and therefore all records were kept as to
the feed anil production of the animals.
During the five years that the herd was on
test they gave an avenge butter production-as
follows: In 1P:j7, S40.98 pounds ot
bulter per cow; lr 18?8. 568.89 poundi; in
1S93. 247.03 pounds; In 1900. 279.35 pounds;
In 1901. 3S3 43 pounds. During the five
years fifty-two yearly records showed an
average of 315.81 pounds -of butter. The
variations from year to year were caused
by aricui changes In the herd and ti lom;
extent by the feed given. It ws s found that
certain cows gave excellent records during
the five years, and such cows were shown
to posseas a marked dairy type and con
formation. The poorest reccrd in th- herd
a at made by a cow lacking In depth and
possessing a steer-like form.
Alfalfa Hay the Beat.
Alfalfa and wild hay were tested for f?ir
value In rations for dairy cows. The herd
waa divided into two lots so that they were
about equai as to their butter and mild
production. Lot 1 received alfalfa iay for
rsix weeks, while lot 2 received wild hay
for the asm time. After this period the
lots were reversed. Compat lsons were mad
as to the amounts of milk and butter pro
duced while on the two feeds. It was found
la this experiment that alfalfa hay gave
better returns than wild hay and at the
tsme time was more economically fed. as
it required more wild bay per ration..
Corn ensilage and sugar beets were tested
as to their value as aucculent feed when
given to dairy cows. The herd wai divided
Into two lots, tbs same as in the experiment
tor testing alfalfa and wild hay. The re
sults shown by this experiment were a little
In favcr of ensilage, but the difference was
very slight. It seems to be more a ques
tion of bow cheaply the two succulent
feeds ar produced than cf their feeding
value. Both foods gave good results and
mere relished by the animals.
It Is often ot much Importance to know
at wttt time In a cow's lactation she Is
liable to make her best record, ss the dif
ferent live stock associations favor ani
mal i coming within a tested list. In order
lo cbt&ln a 'large number of records the
Nebraska Experiment station co-operated
aith th Minnesota station and togetb-r
139 complete yearly records were available.
Out of this large list, which was made by
cows of varioua breeds and ar.es. a table
waa compiled. It was found that the sec
ond and third weeks of a cow's lactation lu
moat cases proved to be the best. The rec
ords also showed thst a cow reaches her
highest butter production at an earlier
period in lactation than she does her great
est milk Dow.
