Irani? the Burglars.
The probably fatal shooting of
bravo and efficient officer of tho
lanta police force, while attempting
arrest n burglar, is an additional
gnment in favor of the proposition
which The Times made some time
—that burglary should be made
crime punishable by death. No
ina! takes greater chances than the
burglar. When he enters a peaceful
habitation to rob tho inmates of their
belongings, he is nine times out of
ten prepared to make himself liable
for the felony of murder. Discovery
in the pursuit of his crime almost in-
variably results ina killing. The
burglar is the bravest, most audacious
of criminals. He knows that
is either death or arrest, He realizes
that in entering a house under the
cover of night he is taking his life i„
his hands. Ho nerves himself to the
necessity of the occasion. His hand
is ever ready ubon the trigger and ibc
slightest stir of the f leeper means to
him either his own death or that of a
victim of his depredations.
The next legislature should look
carefully into the matter.—Brunswick,

Pill Clothes.
The good pill has a good coat. Tho pill cont
serves two purposes; it protects tho pill, en¬
abling it to retain all its remedial value, and it
disguises tho tasto for tho palate. Some pill
coats nro too heavy; they will not dissolve in
tho stomach, aud tho pills they cover puss
through tho system ;to harmless as a bread
pellet. Other coats are too light, and permit tho
speedy deterioration of tho pill. After 30 years
exposure, Ayer’s Sugar Coated Pills have been
found as effective as if just fresh from the labor¬
atory. It’s a good pill with a good coat. Ask
your druggist for

Bicjcle Prices Fall,
After several years of exorbitantly
large profits the manufacturers of
bicycles have been compelled to very
! largely reduce their prices. The pub-
lie actually refused to longer pay SflOO
I for a machine which can be built for
one-quarter that amount.
A few makers saw this some time
ago aud put on the market cheaper
| 1 machines at very greatly reduced
prices which so cut into tho business
<>f the hi her priced manufacturers
! that in 1 pure self defense they were
compelled to hi<l good-bye to their old
high prices.
Why should not the same thing oe-
aur with type-writing machines? They
no doubt cost considerably less to pro-
dnee than bicycles, and yet some of
them are selling at the ridiculously
high price of $100. It is fair to infer
that a machine which sells at $50costs
‘‘lose-to SI 5 to manufacture, -
if n few large department stores in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia Chi-
cago, etc., would arrange for large
quantities to be manufactured for them
by some one outside of a trust the
prices would come down to reasonable
figures as have those of bicycles.

stand on, declaring clearly and defi-
nitely that not upon a single ground
upon which the city Lad based its

was there legat warrant for the action.
It went a step further. It made the
remark that the power sought to he

Crowing Fall Turnips.
Where the land is fresh and free
from the seeds of foul weeds, fall
turnip seed may be sown broadcast
from the first of July until the middle
of August, depending on the season,
and covered with a light smoothing or
brush harrow. Prepare the land very
carefully and pulverize and compact
the seedbed thoroughly. New ground
the second year from sod giyes best re¬
sults. The soil is then rich in plant
food and in good tilth, A piece of
sod ground broken during the 8 um-
mer and seeded to wheat in the fall
makes an excellent turnip field the
following season, after the wheat has
been harvested. Ordinarily such land
will not jxroduco a sufficient i umber
of weeds to interfere with the full de¬
velopment of the turnips. Pour or
five pounds of seed to tho acv^svill
give about the right stand.
In sections of the country where
new land is not available, truck
patches from which early vegetables
have been removed will answer
admirably. plowed Ofteu wheat land is
as soon ns the gain has
been removed and seeded to
turnips. Tho ground must be rich,
for turnips are gross feeders, but soil
containing an excess of vegetable mat¬
ter will cause an excessive growth of
tops, to the detriment of root devel¬
opment. A cool, moist climate is very
favorable to the growth of turnips and
for this reason the seed should be put
in late if the season is dry, then most
of the growth will take place in fall.
While broadcasting answers verv
well on new land, the best results are
obtained only when sown in rows and
cultivated. Have the row's about two
feet apart aud the plants anywhere
from six to twelve inches apart in the
row. Give level culture, keep the
land free from weeds and stir the sur-
face often.
Turnips are a valuable winter feed
for sheep and cattle, particularly the
former. When fed to milk cows give
just after milking. Otherwise the
milk may be given an unpleasant odor
and the butter an undesirable taint.
They must not be fed in excess to any
stock but when other succulent feeds
cannot be fed, turnips are invaluable,
—American Agriculturist.
Farming on Cheap Land.
The greatest difficulty iu the way of
good farming in this country has al¬
ways been that prices of land were so
low that those engaged in farming have
been tempted to buy more land than
they could profitably work, There
should always be an amount of work¬
ing capital equal to at least half of
what is invested in land. This should
be done even though the land bo only
partly paid for. It is much better to
leave a part of the cost of land put in
a mortgage whose interest can be met
cve.y year, than to pay all the money
down and leave nothing to work the
land with. In a great majority of
cases it is the floating capital, rather
thau that invested in land, which pays
the greatest rate of profit, Farmers
have been complaining for years that
the merchant, who makes ten to twon-
ty-five per cent, on his merchantable
stock, has the. advantage of them,
They are tied to their farms, and like
the man holding fast by the wolf’s tail,
cannot, their safely, let go, while it takes all
energies to simply hold on and
prevent the wolf from turning and
rending them.
On high-priced land near cities most
of the high-priced farm stock is kept.
It is usually far more profitable than
the stock of the merchant, for that, ex¬
cept iu case of a change in the mar*
kets, cannot increase in value, aud is
much more likely to decrease. The
merchant's stock cannot increase in
amount ns can that of the breeder. Tc
bo sure, the breeder has losses by
casualties to animals, but these are
fully offset if not more by the bad

A Southern farmer, whose home is somewhat in the
backwoods, in an interview with a newspaper correspondent
said: "I am 6 i years old, and until I was nigh unto 50 years
old 1 was always well and peart, then for a long while 1 suf¬
fered with indigestion and could not eat anything hardly at
all. My daughter, who lives in the city, sent me some of
Ripans Tabules
told c
me how to taka them, and they have completely cured
me. I want you to tell everybody how I got cured, for it is
a blessing to humanity.”
