Rcnrons For n Divorce.
The Druaos sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes Thus a man named Soleiman
Attala had wife, Isbakyeh. The wo-
man frequently worked for us, and on
several occasions / had TO complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little At length / was obliged to
tell Solelman that owing to his wife's
laziness | could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward | went TO England.
On my return after Il couple Of
months absence / was surprised to
find that Soleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause Of this he replied, Your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again, so | thought | would get
rid Of her and marry another woman
whom you would employ."-Black-

If anything should happen to menace
the stability of the British throne, it
must be a satisfaction to his royal
highness the Duke of York and Corn
wall to know that he could make a
comfortable living as the proprietor of
menagerie. Whenever a loyal Austria
liam or New Zealander has come across
rare specimen of rabbit or a freak
dingo dog within the last five or six
months, he has boxed it up and shipped
it as a token of esteem to the nearest
port to be visited by the royal heir on
his trip to the Australian confederacy.
The latest gift was white Tasmanian
kangaroo. Just what use the future
king of England can have for a white
kangaroo is not apparent, but for a
king out of a job it might be valuable
asset.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-One man was

of men and women were imperiled by
an explosion in a "levee" saloon last
night. The rear of the building was

taken to police headquarters, where
they were held Tor awhile but later re-

The persons injured were George Nc

known as Ruby Fox. They were taken
from a wine room in the rear of the
place. At the hospital Mcconnell died.
Further in the rear the police found

Keeping Milk Sweet.

If the milk is to be delivered in good
condition to the consumer during the
summer months, it must be thoroughly
cooled and aerated and kept cool, says
absolutely necessary with all milks
during the hot weather. A great i'm
provement can also be made by looking
carefully after the cleanliness of COWS,
stables and milk utensils, as there is a
great difference in the keeping quality
Of clean and dirty millzs. The whole
question of keeping milk sweet is in
providing clean article, kept cooled
and we'll aerated. Personalities should
not be used under ally condition.

CADILLAC WINS THE FIRST.
Beats she Invader in the Race for the Can
ada's Cup,

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Cadillac, the cup
defender, Saturday afternoon won the
first of the international yacht races,
beating the Royal Canadian Yacht
clubs challenger, Invader, by eight
and One-half minutes. The race was
sailed around a triangular course of
seven nautical miles to the leg, and
for twO-thirds Of the distance it was
exceedingly close. 1T is anybody's
race yet remarked Vice Commodore
A. w. Masters, the veteran sailor of
the Chicago Yacht club, as the rival
yachts, scarcely more than two hun
dred yards apart, finished the second
leg after Il free run before the wind
with all their light canvas set.
But the wind had freShened cOnsid
erably after the start, almost two
hours before, and the last leg, a fairly
close hauled reach, was sailed in a
spanking tWenty-knOt breeze and
good lump of a sea. Here was where
the Detroit Boat clubs center-board
yacht showed great sailing qualities,
gaining seven minutes and twenty
seconds on the fin-keel from Canada.
The two boats are Of absolutely dis
similar construction. The Cadillac is
regular Swimming DISH" drawing
but is inches, while the Invader
draws feet 6 inches.
The trophy is a silver cup, worth
$1,750. donated by the city Of Toledo,
O., and first won by the Canada.

is now in Chicago, the Genesee repre-
senting the Chicago Yacht club.

RED POLL COW.

did 25 years ago. A visit to my friend
Captain Hills one fine spring day was
most interesting. The COWS were up to
their eyes in grass, many good udders
in evidence and also some evidence
that not all Red Polls are of a milking
type. Captain Hills says that the
truth is that many men who profess to
want milking cattle select the most
beefy types when they come to buy.
There are some pleasant things about
these cattle. One is their gentleness.
One man cannot often hold three great
Polls. They placidly licked each other
and seemingly had no old scores to set

AS to standard ratiOnS, in this matter
I am a crank, said A. G. Welsh before
the Minnesota Dairyman's association.
No man is better able to determine the
cows rations than the man that han
dies her. Nevertheless from my own
experience the following ration will
keep the average dairy cow up to the
limit of her ability: Twelve pounds Of
timothy Or upland hay, three pounds Of
cornmeal, five pounds Of ground oats,
nine ounces of ground fax, eight pounds
of alfalfa, ten pounds of corn fodder,
eight pounds of mangels. This is more
than is recommended as standard ra-
ton, but if she eats it you get the re-
turns. 1t is we'll to bear in mind that
important factor Another important
factor is salt. Have plenty Of it where
she can get at it when she wants it.
Kansas Dairy Cow Ration.
D. H. Otis of the Kansas experiment
station in Kansas Farmer gives the
following ration with millet roughage.
In many parts of Kansas millet and
prairie hay are grown on the same
farm. When desired, these can be fed
half and half, but as both are dry feeds
it is we'll to furnish succulence by Civ
ing ten pounds of mangels per day per
COW, these with eight to ten pounds
of a grain mixture of five parts oats
and three parts cottonseed meal. If
oats are not available, four parts bran
may be used in their stead.
Good Milk Foods.
Glover hay we'll cured, corn ensilage
we'll made, oats cut in the dough stage,
millet cut when seed is beginning to
form, bran, shorts and linseed meal,
together with roots, such as mangels,
carrots or potatoes, says Professor w.
L. Carlyle-a judicious combination of
some or all of these foods will give
good results. We would prefer all OF
them to give variety and add palata-
bility, which is very important part
| of the feeding problem to solve. An eff
| fort should always be made, therefore,
to have all feeding stuffs clean, sweet
| and wholesome.

Benefits of SiIage.

Concerning the benefits Of silage over
fodder corn said J. Mcmillan at the
farmers institute, Ontario: The silo
renders the corn more easily digested.
1t provides succulent food both summer
and winter. It enables me to keep a
greater quantity of cattle on the same
number of acres, as there is no waste,
the silage being eaten up clean. An
imals are more healthy on silage than
on dry food. Experiments made at the
Wisconsin experiment station with en-
silage and fodder corn upon milk cows
show per cent in favor of silage, as
on one acre of each the silage gave 243
pounds more milk and II pounds more
butter than the fodder corn. At New
York experiment station two animals
were fed with silage corn cut and
shocked. Their weddings were kept
and analysed to see what amount Of
every hundred pounds of solids the
foods contained would be kept by the
animals It was found that from siIage
they kept 60 pounds out of every 100
pounds and from the shocks only 81
pounds.

It used to be thought that rapid fill
ing Of the silO was all important. It
must be filed so fast that no layer of
fodder could wilt before it was covered
with another, and thus the fermenta-
ton, beginning at the bottom, must
gradually work up through the mass
until it reached the surface, where oxi-
dization or rotting began, which again
worked downward until the decayed
matter on the surface prevented any
more air from going down, says Amer
lean Cultivator. Naturally we accept
ed this idea, as it was sent out by
learned chemists and scientific men,
days in the light of positive facts. The
farmers who have not been able to fill
their silos as rapidly as they wished to
or have been obliged to wait for help,
for weather or for some later field to
attain maturity or those who from lack
of facilities for rapid handling have.
been obliged to fill slowly have found
their ensilage was in no way inferior
to that which was all put in practically
at one time or without pause excepting
for the nights rest. And some have
learned that it does not injure it if a
part of the water in it dries out before
it is cut. The moisture is enough un-
less the fodder has become dry before
cutting by reason of being overripe,
suffering from drought or being frost
bitten. Either of these causes may
make fodder so dry that it will be bene-
fitted by a wetting before it is pressed
into the silo.
Fodder Versus SiIage.
At New Jersey experiment station in
1897 it was proved thu while the cost
of harvesting, storing and preparing
for food the dry matter contained in
corn was greater per unit of dry mat
ter in the form of silage than in the
form Of dried fodder, the feeding value
Of the former was much greater than
that of the latter. The yield of milk
was 12.S per cent greater and the yield
of butter fat 1914 per cent greater from
given amount Of dry matter fed in
the form of ensilage than when fed as
dried fodder. It was also found that
at per cent per pound for the milk
produced by the animals the value of
the corn crop was SO greater per acre
when fed as silage rather than fodder.

Five Blocks Destroyed by Fire That May
Cost About $500 600.

Cost About $500 600.
Champaign, Ills, Aug. 1O.--The en-
tire business portion of Rantoul was
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
The Martin House is the only build
ing in the business section that escaped
the flames. The fire originated in a
grain elevator and soon spread to the
adjacent business buildings. A steam
err was telegraphed for from this city,
and in forty-fve minutes it was oper-
ating against the fire.
Five blocks were burned out, many
of the buildings destroyed having been
erected since the fire two years ago.
Thirty-siX business firms are losers.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the postoffice railway station, Masonic
temple, new hotel and opera house.
Both newspaper offices were burned.
While much Of the contents of the
stores was saved the loss is estimated
variously from $25O,OOO to $4,000.

DUAL PURPOSE COW.
Red Poll Promises to Fill a Useful
Place ON the Farm.

There are dual purpose COWS in great
numbers, says Professor Joseph e.
Wing in Breeders Gazette. They have
long been here. Those great Shorthorn
COWS we used to have, their udders
swinging as they walked coming in
from the pasture in the morning drip
ping with dew brushed from the blue
grass, those COWS that gave their six
gallons of rich milk at a milking and
whose calves grew to be great 1000
pound steers at three years-there were
plenty of those COWS here once, but
they are rarer now.
The Red Poll is coming and will fill
an important place with the farmers
who keep a few COWS, milk them and
grow their calves. While Of quite a
different type, yet the Red Poll fills
very nearly the same place that the old
fashioned heavy milking Shorthorns

London, Aug. 1O.-AnnOuncement Is
made officially that Lord Kitchener has
issued a proclamation to the Beers in

own compatriots and keeping the coun-
try in an uproar without hope Of sue
cess in gaining their independence.
The proclamation then says that all
Beers not surrendering by Sept. 10

support of their wives and children be
recovered from such property, personal
or real, as can be found in their name.

A mistake frequently made is in at
tempting to churn too much. Never
have the churn more than half full
says a Michigan Farmer in National
Stockman. Cream will swell anyway,
and it is not wise to put SO much in the
churn that time will be wasted in bring
ing the butter. Separation results
from conclusion, and small quantity
of cream will reach that point sooner
than churn full.
When butter granules appear, add a
half pint of salt to three or four gall
Ions Of cream more will do no harm)
and continue the churning until the
butter separates from the buttermilk,
but no longer. Do not allow the butter
to mass Draw off the buttermilk and
rinse the butter twice. Let the first
water be not too cold, the last one very
cold. When the rinsing is complete,
the butter should still be in granules.
Drain and salt in the churn. Place the
cover in position and revolve Gf bar
rel churn) slowly about a dozen times.
Remove the cover, cut butter apart
with the ladle, return the cover to posi-
ton and turn few minutes very slow
", so the butter drops from end to end
Of the churn.
Hook the churn draw the butter, re-
move to a butter bowl and press into
shape then pack or treat as desired.
No further working will be necessary.
Co-operation In si1o Filling.
Let six to ten farmers promise to grow
so many tons of corn, build silo and
agree to give some one man in the
neighborhoOd the job of cutting it into
proper lengths for the silo and putting
the same into the silo in good shape at
an agreed price per ton, says a Vir-
ginia farmer in Farm and Home.
In this section silage corn can be
planted from April 1 to Aug. 1, so that
a dozen or more can have their silOs
filled by one single outfit. Few farm
ers like to attack the silo single hand
ed simply for the reason that the en-
CINE, cutter and elevator are high pric
ed and make the silage quite expen-
sive, but if they can get silage put into
the silo for, say, 40 cents per ton, he
delivering the corn to the cutter, every
farmer in the land can have a SilO, and,
in fact, not one of them is justified in
going without one There are plenty Of
communities in which can be found ten
farmers who would put up 100 to 300
tons of silage each if they could grow
it and get it into the silo at less than
$3.50 per ton.
