Tlie Criminal a Fool.
Regarding the criminal as regarding
•verything else, we are no longer restricting ourselves to moralizing and
speculating and consulting the opinion*
of tho Hebrew prophets and the me-
dirseval sainK, but we have begun studying him. And our fundamental discovery is one at least as old as Solomon—
namely,., that the criminal is a fool.
The ancient discoveries of a truth, however, generally differ from the modern
discoveries of the same" truth in the fact
that they spread it over less ground.
Our revolutionary discovery regarding the criminal is that, in our times
at least, he is intellectually a fool. In
thejgood old times he was merely morally a fool. The fact that honesty is the
best policy, though fitfully implied
through the Bible, seems to have had
very little effect till after the reformation and not to have been definitely put
on record before Cervantes. But the
growing realization of the fact and
perhaps the growing inconveniences of
being, dishonest have, aided *by a host
of other agencies, brought the world to
a stage where, roughly speaking, only
the fools condescend to be criminal
Anybody familiar with courtrooms and
prisons will testify that, with rare exceptions, this is true.—Henry Holt in
Forum.
CEMENT FLOORS.
Bow Jione Tbey last and What They C<Mfc
How to lay Them.
A correspondent who has tested cement floors writes about them as follows in a communication toBural New
Yorker:
The first cement floor I ever laid WM
in my dwelling house cellar 22 years
ago last fall. It is as solid and good today as ever. Fanners generally wish to
know the cost first As nearly as I can
figure, the money outlay for material
does not exceed 2% cents per squara
foot.
Fresh Akron cement and good coarse
gravel are mixed in the proportions pf
one part cement to 3J£ parts gravel.
There should be enough sand, say ahout
one-fifth, in the gravel so that when
mixed with the c«ment it will bind the
whole together solid. Gravel as it is
usually dug from the pits will contain enough sand. Care must be taken
that this sand is such that if sifted from
the gravel it will make good plastering
mortar and is not quicksand. This is a
very important point. The gravel should
not contain stones more than 1 % inches
thick. Mix the gravel and cement thoroughly dry, seven shovels gravel and
two of cement. This is for coarse gravel
not more than one-fourth sand. More
cement will be required for fine gravel.
After getting a good pile well mixed
dry, care must betaken that all the mixture is thoroughly wet (no dry lumps)
and ahout the consistency of good plastering mortar when ready to put on the
lath. It will take two or three good
hands to prepare and bring the cement
to one man to lay it, according to the
distance it has to be carried.
For a common house cellar or any
other place not exposed to frost, if the
soil ho firm, all that is necessary is to
grade it level, sloping a very little to
one sidir? to facilitate cleaning, taking
care to fill all depressions with clay
and tramp down solid. If the bottom ii
springy, it is better to lay some tile just
low enough so that the tops will he level
with the grading, taking care that they
connect with drains. I use a good strong
ditching shovel and a brick trowel to
lay the cement If there be any slope
to the grading, begin at the upper side,
lay down a good straight 2 by 4 scantling flatwise 20 inches from the wall
and parallel with it; fill in. this space
between the wall and scantling with
the wet cement and pound down solid
with the back of the shovel, settling
all the coarse gravel and stone well to
the hottom of the layer. This forces the
fine sand and cement to the top. Level
with the shovel to the top of the scantling and then smooth off with the trowel. This makes the floor two inches
thick. Now move the scantling another
20 inches and proceed as before, and
so till the whole is laid. There will bo
no trouble about the cement staying ia
ita place when moving the scantling if
it is mixed right
This cement sets quickly, but requires
some time to thoroughly harden, and is
better to be covered with damp straw
for some time after being laid, or in
case of horse stable a cheap temporary
board floor. One may then use at once.
For a wagon house or grain barn fill in
with a foot of cobblestones and then lay
cement. One is then safe from frost
and there is no harbor for rats, skunks,
mice, etc. If the farmers throughout
the country would adopt this one improvement in farm buildings, the pecuniary gain, directly and indirectly,
would be almost beyond computation.
Curing Seed Corn.
A farmer writing in The Rural New
Yorker says: To cure sweet seed corn I
made racks 10 by 5 feet of 2 by 4 inch
sticks set edgewise. The bottoms are
covered with poultry netting, with
mesh fine enough to prevent the ears
falling through. To securely hold the
netting in place after it was fastened
on I nailed a narrow strip of board two
inches wide all around. I also put a
piece across the midde of each frame to
help support the bottom. I set four posts
t-hree_ feet high, capped with inverted
tin pans, so that a frame will rest upon
them at the corners. When the first
frame is filled, I lay a small piece of
inch thick board on each corner and put
another frame on them directly over
the first one. I fill this and repeat
When sufficient frames have been used,
I cover the last one with a roof of
boards, which projects six or more
inches on all sides. I let my stack of
frames stand until the beginning of
winter; then with a crowbar I loosen
and take out the bits of board laid on
the corners, which lets the frame come
close together, making a fairly tight
corncrib. Sweet corn handled in this
way is far-more certain to dry well than
wheu traced.    	
Time to Harvest Lucern.
At the Utah station early cut lucern
gave a greater gain thau late cut lucern. As large a crop was received
from two cuttings as from three, whether
the first cutting was at an early period
or at a medium period of its growth.
As early cut hay gave a slightly better
gain the balance of the experiment favors early cutting. It is assumed, not
known, that the character of the growth
from early cut lucern would not be as
substantial as from the late cut.
