TIIKIIK Ih a very wide, and, no doubt a very honest divergence of opinion on capital puiiIhIiiimmiI. Those favoring It are compelled , as a last rosort In tlio argument to point out that, anyway It Is a deterrent, the terrible punishment of death tending, as they argue to prevent olhers from committing murder. If It would il:y thin, there would cer- lalnly he less objection, but docs It? Cupltul punishment has been the law of practically all civilized countries, (lino Immemorial, but. there nro as many murders today lis at any time In the past. Jtist what punishment that could pllshed, whether a pound of It or not take tho placo of the deal h penalty, Ih Ih ever carried on tho river, a problem bard to answer. About the' A rase In point Is tho sudden ro only 0110 ho far suggested Is "lift- tin- diicllon In express rntes caused by pilHOiinient wllhout the possibility of tlio parcels post. If tho parcels post pardon." This Is nil right, so far as it goes, but It strikes us It should go further. Under our present penal system, cunvlels are hired mil, nnd a small Sinn Is set apart from their earnings, which Ih given I hem w hen their sen tences expire, and I hey nro again set at. liberty, This Is undoubtedly a good system, for It. gives the freshly freed man a few dollars with which to support himself until ho can find em ployment, nnd wllh which to get nwny from the place of his confinement. Why would It, not be a good plan, In raso of murderers sent up for life to apply this s.mleiii. Furnish them wllh employment al which they can earn morn thnn "their keep." Then, Instead of turning (he carni'il surplus over to the prisoner as would be Hie case If he were set free- turn II over to the widow or orphans his act made - or to dependent relatives who relied upon Ids victim fur their support. ".Make the punishment fll the crime!" 'Make the slayer, In a small way, take the place of his victim. Make him by his toll support, so far as possible, those whom ho robbed of their main stay, husband, brother, son or father. This would be an net of relribullve Justice, and In siano cases, al leant would be an additional punishment to that, of being deprived of liberty. Why 1 It not right to make the man who kills the father of a family of small children, for Instance, lake the place of I hat father as a provider for them, so far as It can be done? Wo believe tills would be at least a step III the right direction and would suggest to our loi'liiliitors I bat il be given a trial.

HEATING ORCHARDS TO PROTECT FRCIT FROM FROST In the current Issue of Farm and Fireside appears an article showing how science enables the fruit farm ers to make a thrilling fight against Jack Frost. Following Is an extract containing some account of scientific orchard heating: "No longer need the fruit grower suffer a crop failure. No longer Is fruit production the gamble It used to bo, for, with the Intervention of science, neither frost, Insect, nor dis ease can give the grower off years when he receives no Income from his high-priced land. "Spraying and heating go hand In hand, Jack Frost Is now driven back from the tendor blossoms and fruit by a process of heating which Is fast ' becoming popular. Scientific orchard heating Is a new thing, but a sure thing, and a 200-acre orchard can have Its temperature raised ten to fif teen degrees with absolute certainty. "Orchard heating was first prac ticed In California, though smudging, or the formation of a dense blanket of smoke over orchards, had been practiced In Europe before. In 1908, some Grnnd Valley fruit growers In Colorado practiced orchard heating with the burning of oil In simple pots of the lard-pall type, with the result that they saved their crop. Since then the fruit growers of Colorado have saved annually four or five mil lion dollars' worth of fruit. "Several types of heaters have been Invented. Oil and conl are used for fuel. It Is claimed by many that oil Is the best all-round fuel. It lights easier. The heaters are placed at Intervals throughout the orchard, one to a tree If the setting is from seventy-five to ninety trees per acre. If small heaters are used, double or treble the number. All moisture must be eliminated from the fuel used. The j heaters are mado ready with fuel be forehand. "When the temperature falls within a degree of the danger-point, the fires are lighted. If oil is used, make a torch of gas-pipe, and to light the t,,r0W " T tf8?30"'1'.1. of BiiHumie. me igmuon is immediate and the generation of heat begins. "While the heater raises the tem perature some, the real purpose Is holding It against a fall. Under the most favorable conditions the heated zone has been held to a point of safe ty when the outside thermometer reached sixteen degrees. Eighteen and twenty degrees are easily carried through with safety. Conditions vary. A wind makes the work more diffi cult. A young orchard requires more heaters than an old one, and garden truck twice as many." Europe's Well Woman. (New York Sun.)
