SUFFRAGISTS FILLED JA I I.S.
.Mrs. Drummond ami 30 Other Mili
tant Suffragettes Sentenced.
London, .lan. -".?. '(louerai" Mrs.
Drummond and thirty other mili
tant sn ff raget tes will spend tho next
fourteen days in jail because of their
determination to force David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
to receive them as a deputation in
the House of Commons last evening.
All the prisoners declared In Court
after they were sentenced that they
would immediately start a "hunger
strike."
Mrs. Drummond complained that
the police handled her roughly when
she was arrested. She declared the
patrolman had thrown her in the
mud.
"It is now war to the knife," she
told tho magistrate, and continued:
"You and Mr. Lloyd-Cleorgo have a
lot of trouble ahead of you. You
will have to do tho dirty work, and
you will have plenty of it."
The women all refused tl)o option
which was offered them of paying a
fine instead of going to prison.
Many Riots.
While a deputation, which Chan
cellor ol' Exchequer David Lloyd
(leorge had refused to see until to
day, was trying to force its way into
Parliament last night against an
overwhelming force of police, and
women were being arrested for re
sisting the officers, the other bands
of women went through Whitehall
breaking windows of the government
offices, and through Cockspur street,
where the great plate glass windows
in ?he establishments of shipping
companies were ruthlessly smashed.
Explosivos by Mai!.
London, Jan. ?IO.-Suffragette vio
lence of tho most diabolical and cow
ardly character reached the point to
day where Premier Asquith and
other members of tho British cabi
net have been solemnly warned to
guard carefully against careless
handling of packages mailed to them
through the post office for fear they
might contain internal machines.
This danger was revealed by the
explosion of a number of glass tubes
as they were hoing taken from the
letter boxes by postmen. Investiga
tion revealed that the tubes had boen
lilied with an explosive acid. They
had been addressed to Premier As
quith, Chancellor David Lloyd-George
and other calbnet members. If the
women's plan had worked success
fully, the statesmen probably would
have been blinded in opening tito
packages.
Plaining Letters for Vote Enemies.
Women also mailed a number of
letters which, on being exposed to
Une light, burst into Hames. These
were evidently intended as fire
brands to burn the homes of the min
isters.
Such apparently were tho "sur
prises" which Hie women had prom
ised in their campaign of violence, it'
the franchise hill were dropped by
tho government.
Hearing of suffragette cases began
at Bow Street police court as soon a?
court was opened. The first woman
arraigned was charged with smash
ing a $7.">0 plato glass window in the
offices ot' tho Allan steamship line.
"Yes, 1 smashed it. and I would
smash every window in London to
got Hie vow." .-.lie ?ried when the
magistrate asked lier it she had any
thing to say. She was held for the
? >I(1 Hailey sessions.
Lost Roth Hands, Asks $150,000.
Springfield, Mass., Jan. ill.-In
demnity of $1 ."?0.000 for tho loss of
her two hands is asked In a suit
brought by Miss Gertrude M. Garity,
a stenpgrapher of this city, against
the Northern Connecticut Light and
Power Company, While turning on
an electric light at her homo Miss
Garity placed her left hand on a
heafer pipe, completing a circuit,
and xhousands of volts which had
leaked Into the lighting wires from
the tre-lley system, passed through
her body from hand to hand. Her
hands were doubled in tight rolls
and had to be amputated.

Forage Crops for Swine.
Bulletin 242 of the Ohio station
tells of tests made 'there to deter
mine the best crops to furnish green
grazing for swine. The steadily In
creasing price of grain and concen
trated feed stuffs make gradna, crops
of growing Importance. Besides, lt
is well known that grazed swine are
much less liable to disease than swine
raised in confinement and restricted
to dry feed. These were the consid
erations which moved the station to
enter upon theso studies.
The pigs used were pure Duroc
Jerseys, bred at the station, and the
valions lots of pigs selected for the
comparative tests were made as near
ly uniform in age, weight and thrift
as possible. Tiley weighed 5)5 pounds
eaeii at the beginning.
Tho concentrates used were
ground corn, soy bean meal and di
gester tankage, guaranteed to con
tain 00 per cent of protein, fed night
and morning in tho form of a thick
slop.
Some lots had skim milk, and In
every caso theso made rapid Kains,
confirming results of previous exper
iments at this station showing the
high value of skim milk for growing
pigs. All feed stuffs were propor
tioned by weight.
In the first experiment Lot 1 was
fed corn and skim milk In a dry lot;
Lot 2 had corn and soy bean meal in
a dry lot; Lot 3 had corn alone in
dry lot; Lot 4 had corn and ran on
a mixed pasture of timothy and blue
grass; Ix>t 6 had corn and ran on
red clover .pasture.
Rating tho corn at fifi cents per
bushel, skim milk at 15 cents per
100 pounds, soy beans at $1.50 lier
100 pounds and pasturage at $4 per
acre for the 0 2 days of the test, the
following results figured out:
1. For every 100 pounds gain In
weight the mixed pasturage took the
place of 103 pounds of corn, and
the clover pasture was equal to 142
pounds of corn, as compared with
the gains of the lots having no pas
turage.
2. Calculated In money value, the
mixed pasturage was equal to 142
pounds of corn, as compared with
the gains of the lots having no pas
turage.
A second experiment, lasting 76
days, was a test of the value of soy
bean pasturage, rape pasturage, red
clover pasturage and a mixed pastur
age of blue grass and white clover.
Though an extreme drouth prevailed,
greatly damaging tho pasturage
crops, lt was found that, valuing
corn at 56 cents a bushel, each acre
of pasturage was equal to the follow
ing values in corn, to wit: Blue
grass and white clover, $5.82; red
clover, $11.06; soy bean pasture,
$15.00; rape pasture, $16.05.
The high value shown by tho rape
pasturage is partly due to the fact
that the lot of pigs grazed 011 this
pasturage had tankage In their grain
feed; so that tho largo content pro
tein In tho tankage made up what
rape lacks In protein. Whero corn
is the only dry feed given, the soy
bean pasturage would make a better
showing than rape, as the soy bean
is rich in protein.
Three other forage crops were
used in another test, namely: Sowed
corn, sorghum and a mixture of Can
ada Held peas and oats sown to
gether. Results of this test, how
ever. Indicated that neither of these
crops was as valuable for grazing
swine- as eil lier red clover, rapo or
soy bean pasturage. When grazed
off once, these crops did not send up
a new growth from the samo roots
as do clover, rape and soy beans, and
herein lies their chief defect.
Among the lessons learned In the
course of these experiments are the
following:
Spring sown forage crops should
be used to supplement those that
come over from the winter and be
come available much earlier, such
as red clover, rape, barley, alfalfa,
and so forth.
Redeeming Washed Land'..
In many of the older States hill
side lands of old farms, where by
neglect to terrace and properly till
them at right angles to their slope
the eroding effect of heavy rans has
been left without check, have been
entirely denuded of their soil, leav
ing only bare, bald clay subsoil, and
even that badly gullied and broken.
This ls especially true of lands whose
top soil was loose sand.
Many such farms have been aban
doned In Ohio, while tho occupants
i of many others are having an une
qual strugglo to make them yield a
living return.
The Ohio station tells, In Circu
lar No. 129, of a large measure of
success attained In redeeming such
farms by the use of molllotus, or
sweet dover to r?clothe them; mix
ing tho humus from the tops and
roots of the sweet clover with the
top six to twelve inches of the clay
to for?a a now soil capable of pro
ducing crops that will yield a fair
return for tho labor and expense of
planting, cultivating and harvesting
them.
It ls estimated that there aro now
moro than a million acres of lands
in Ohio so badly eroded as to be
worthless; and constant, cropping
with corn, wheat and timothy, with
out manuring of any sort, ls stead
ily adding to this area of ruined farm
land. In many cases, close cropping
of the thin grass on tho hillsides by
sheep has encouraged tho tendency
to wash, and the beaten paths made
by the sheep soon become gullies.
Having observed that sweet clover
grows luxuriantly In roadside gullies,*
in railway cuts and other places
where thc clay is exposed the author
of this circular determined to make
a test of its virtues as a restorative
of the abandoned fields denuded of
their soil and washed full of gullies.
Indeed in Ohio sweet clover is a way
side weed, so easily does it take hold
and so persistently does it hold Its
ground. But, like all members of
the clover family, it takes readily
only to such lands as have a large
content of lime. It has been exten
sively used to restore to fertility the
worn-out or run-down cotton planta
tions of those portions of Mississippi
and Alabama having lime soils and
subsoils.
There aro four varieties'of sweet
clover, but only two are worthy of
note. These aro the white-flowered
and yellow-flowered. The white, or
melllotus alba, ls the larger, more
vigorous and robust 01 these two.
Its plants reach a height of 5 to 8
feet in the second year of Its growth,
covering the ground with an enorm
ous mulch, while the roots fill the
ground with an immense quantity of
vegetablo matter. These roots, '.Ike
the roots of all legumes, harbor bil
lions of bacteria which gather nitro
gen from the air and store lt In the
soil. In the earlier stages of its
growth melilotus so closely resem
bles alfalfa that It Is often mistaken
f ^r that plant, Its wide range of
adaptability is indicated by tho fact
that it hai been used as a soil reno
vator with great success in Califor
nia. Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Ken
tucky, Mississippi and Alabama. But
in all cases lt must have lime; and
if the soil hasn't a natural supply of
lime, then two to four tons per acre
of ground limestone meal or oyster
shell meal or one to two tons of
slaked lime should be applied.
In the course of tho investigations
made by the author or the circular,
he received 1,882 reports from Ohio
farmers In answer to letters sent out
by him asking several qeustions
about melllotus on their farms. In
this way he found lt growing in 88
counties of that State. More than
nine-tenths of these reports located
it along roadsides. In less than 4
per cent of the reports was It located
in pastures, and In less than 2 per
cent was lt found In cultivated fields.
In 257 cases it was reported as being
grazed by live stock, and 125 had
found it valuable for hay, while 295
had used lt ws a soil restorer on
worn-out fields and as a green ma
nure.
Yet the laws of Ohio until recently
classed melilotus as a weed pest and
imposed the duty of its destruction
upon *he owners of lands adjoining
the highways under severe penalties.
Melllotus gets its name of sweet
clover from the fact that when the
plant cures lt gives off a vanllla-llk*
odor and has a like flavor. For this
reason animals must be starved inte
using lt at first, but they soon acquire
a taste for lt and thereafter mani
fest as great fondness for lt as th?
tobacco chewer for his favorite weed
For hay, melllotus should be cul
just as It commences to bloom anc
should be handled much as alfalfa
Is handled. If not grazed, a seconr
cutting can bo made In 40 to 6(
days, owing to the weather. Th<
bay is very rich in both protein am
fat and the yield is heavy.

Plckcns Man Invents Hay Saver.
John F. Harris, of Pickeus, has in
vented a device that promises to rev
olutionize the curing and saving of
hay, says the Picken? Sentinel. He
calls it the Dixio Daisy hay-stack
ventilator and has applied for a pat
ent on lt. It ls a tripod and the
means or basis of ventilaci?n is an
open chamber or flue in the center
of the haystack between the legs of
the tripod which becomes larger as
the process of curing progresses and
the hay shrinks. It has a natural
tendency downward from a spike
above, down to and against a spike
below, thereby producing an air pas
sage below each spike, connecting
the open air on the outside with the
air chamber In the center of the hay
stack, permitting the gases to pass
out from the center, or the air to
pass into lt at thirty-two points of
ventilation, which renders the pro
cess of heating and combustion im
possible. No matter how wet when
stacked lt never moulds and never
rots.
This is the first device over In
vented for saving hay and we look
for Mr. Harris to become famous for
this Invention. He ls in Columbia
this week demonstrating his ventila
tor at the National Corn Exposition.

Gregg Shoals Dynamo Tender Killed.
Henry G. Parnell, of Lowndesville,
emplyed at the power plant at Gregg
Shoals, on tho Savannah river, was
instantly killed there about 10
o'clock Friday morning, when a wire
he was twirling over his head came
in contact with one of the transmis
sion wires from the power house.
Medical attention was summoned as
soon as possible, but the young man
was dead before tho physician called
had arrived.
Young Parnell had been employed
at tho power station but a short time.
He was standing on the side of the
hill, between tho hotel and the power
house, at a point beneath the trans
mission line, and twirling a long
piece of wire above his head. The
end of this wire was caught over the
charged wire above bis head, form
ing a circuit and resulting In the
young m ?n's instant death. Mr. Bell,
another young man employed at the
plant, knocked the wire loose with
a stick, but it was too late.
Mr. Parnell was 20 years old, and
is survived by his wife and two chil
dren.- He was employed at tho power
house as dynamo tender.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggist's Advice With
Splendid Result.
If anyone should know tho worth
of a medicine, it is tho retail druggist
?who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is In a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of Wost Sand
Lake, N. Y., says: "For a number of
years I waa a great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July I had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought I could not recover
from lt Then I was advised by my
druggist to try Vlnol, which I did.
With wnnflorfnl rCSU?tS. My Cough
has left me; I have gained in weight
and appetite, and I am as strong as
ever I was. I advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol."
It ie the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
cod's liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonio
iron that makes Vlnol so efficient
