TWICE MARRIED IN AN HOUR.
Speeding Auto Helped Couple Out OF
a Dilemma.

speeding Auto Helped VI OUT OF
a Dilemma.
Twice married within an hour-the
second time in an automobile-was
the romantic termination of the court
ship of Christian Silistia, a young
business man of Parkston, S. D., and
the lady of his choice, who came from
Iowa for the purpose of uniting her
fortunes with those Of the young
South Dakotan.
Mr.. Silistia, after producing a mar
riage license, met his sweetheart at
Scotland, Bon Homme county, where
they were promptly welded by Rev.
A. M. Thurston.
When the marriage certificate was
being prepared it was discovered that
the marriage license had been issued
in Hutchinson county.
AS the state law requires marriage
ceremonies to be performed in the
county in which a license is issued,
the pair were in a quandry until the
clergyman's wife same to their rescue
by suggesting that they induce DR..
Seagley, a local physician, to take the
wedding party in his automobile
across the border to Hutchinson coun-
ty.
The couple, together with the clergy
man and physician, got into the auto
mobile, which was soon speeding in
the direction of the Hutchinson coun-
ty line, only a few miles away.
AS soon as the party had crossed
the border, and while the automobile
was spinning over a public highway, a
new marriage ceremony was per-
formed.-New York World.

Experience.in Feeding MIX.

A writer in the Southern Planter
recommends feeding milk to the poul-
try. For young growing chickens and
FOR laying hens it's value can hardly be
0verestimated.
The great benefit to be derived from
the feeding of milk to fowls seems to
oe-almost entirely ignored by the MAJ
Iority Of poultry keepers. When corn
Is the principal ration, as is the case
On the majority of farms, a liberal sup
ply of milk to balance up this ration
will be found most profitable in the re-
turn of eggs. If hens are fed all the
milk they can be induced to drink along
with a corn ration, great gains can be
expected in the egg production. Last
year we fed our fowls largely on corn,
especially u laying hens, and for a
balanced ration we supplied all the
milk we could spare, and the result
vas a better production of eggs than IN
any previous winter. On farms where
there is a good supply Of milk there
should be no reason for no receiving
q large number of eggs. Where milk
is supplied literally, animal food in the
form of cut green bone IA be reduced,
as milk furnishes largely the elementss
found in bone. Milk and corn make a
much better combination than milk,
wheat and oats. Feed the layers milk
and corn, alternately with green food
In the shape Of cabbage or prepared
clover, and you have a most ideal food
for reproduction. Milk can be given
in almost unlimited quantities without
any serious results following. 1t very
often happens thatYfeeding meat too
freely produces diarrhoea, which
checks the supply Of eggs, but in feed
ing milk we do not experience such
u~nfavorable results. On the contrary,
where it is not convenient for the
farmer to get bone from the butcher,
he can supply milk instead, which is
almost or quite as good as bone. We
know a lady who feeds corn and milk
the year round to both young and old,
with very satisfactory results, using
the SOUL milk (after boiling it, in mash
with decided benefits, especially with
the young growing stock. Next season
we shall use boiled SOU milk, wheat
bran and cornmeal, sprink:ed with pull
verified charcoal for our young chick
ems, believing we have a food that will
be wholesome, palatabie and inexpen-
sive compared to some of the prepared
chick foods now on the market. At
the same time we shall provide
SKINNED milk as we have previously
done for the fowls to drink, believing
we can realize more from the produce
in feeding in this way tRan"any other
way we could feed it, realizing that it
will be practically impossible to get
too much milk before our fowls. II a
patch of wheat or rye is sown close
to the poultry run to supply green stuff
naturally for the fowls during the
winter months, and they are constantly
supplied with milk, we stake u all
on it that eggs will be plentiful, stock
healthy and vigorous, with the assur-
ance of strong fertility in eggs when
the breeding season opens up.

Effective Fish Lure.

Nick Ogelvie, a Rangeley guide, ana
Hall Grant were at Suptic Pond, Me-,
fishing the other day and when they
got ready to cast they found that they
were not so well supplied with flies
as they ought to have been. A bright
thought struck Nick and he took on
his artificial fly watch charm, broke
the glass, tied the fly on and began
casting. The trout came in swarms
and he had great sport.

GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION.
National Aid Which May Be Secured
from Congress Will Improve
Agricultural Districts.

There is a stronger. healthier senti-
ment for national aid to highway i'm.
provemont all over the country than
at any time since Congressman Brown
low first introduced his bill providing
for it. AS more and more the subject
is discussed in the press more and
more is it seen that the proposition
simply covers the discharge of a ma
tiOnal obligation to the people who
furnish life and s%ustenance to the
government. There is no family or in
dividual in the United States unaffect-
ed by highway conditions. Improved
highways in the United States would
save to the people the enormous sum
of 5000, 000. 600 every year. The de-
partment of agriculture Is authority
for the figures. Statistics gathered by
government agents from 200 counties
show that it costs an average of %
cents a mile to haul a ton of produce.
On the level on good macadam road a
horse can draw 500 pounds; on the
best dirt roads, he can draw $500 or
not quite half as much; on a muddy
road he can only draw 1000 pounds,
about o~ne-seventh what he can draw
on the level macadam road. Thus
we see that it costs the farmer seven
times as much to carry his products
to the railroads or the county town
over a muddy road as it would over
a good macadam road. Thanks again
to the department of agriculture. We
know how much it costs the farmers
of the United States to get crops to
market. and the figures show that
a system of good roads would pay a
larger dividend to the country than
Il expensive system of railroads.
Briefly, it costs the farmers annually
(the figures are OFFICIALLY $946,414,-
6G5.54 to move their products. AS at
dirt roads and bad ones at that, there
would be a saving to the farmers of
at least 60 per cent. of this cost if
we had macadam roads. Or, as stated
above. bad roads cost the farmers an
nually 5000. 000. 600. This is more
than all the railroads of the United
States receive for freight. It is mis-

through three years to states and
ties that will accept the conditions of
the Observation-Disclosures bill, such a
-timulus will be given to road i'm
provement as will in a very few years
lift agriculture out of the ruts and
save to the country the enormous sun
now lost as the cost of bad roads.
