Misuse of the Telephone.

Calling husband up maliciously on
the telephone, day and night, has been
ruled in Massachusetts, not to be an
actionable misdemeanor in a wife.
The judge added, however, by way of
gratuitous observation, this: 81 think
that one having telephone in his
house could enjoin person from con-
tinuously ringing him up day and
night upon unimportant matters which
he had no right to do, to the loss of
sleep and rest to the occupant and to
his great annoyance" With new
methods of communication come new
subjects for lawyers and the rest OF
US to discuss. Take rural free deliv-
cry. for instance. With the telephone,
says Golfers, this is changing the
most important aspects of country life.
Some persons oppose it because,
among other reasons, it costs money.
Such persons would probably oppose
the mail service II 1t were a newer
question. The rural free delivery, like
every means of intercourse, will not
be set back. but rather be larger fac
tor constantly in our civilization. Mr..
Olmsted, the great landscape gardener
who did so much to ruralize the cities.
said that q still more important duty
was to urbanize the country, making
1t more attractive and more nourish-
ing to the mind than the tenements Of
a slum.

The idea is that when the framed
end is placed between two fence

nailed on securely and thus hold the

CONCENTRATED DAIRY FOODS:
Results Of Experiments Carried on at
Pennsylvania Experiment Station.

In experiments I'd determine the.
best forms of roughage for dairy cows
along with concentrated foods, the
Pennsylvania station found that where.
grass Is not available silage was best.
Some dry fodder or hay should be fed
along with silage. The experiments
show that corn slower can be used
to replace timothy hay with excellent
results and considerable saving Of
cost. If grown in a rotation, timothy
hay should be sold and corn used for
the dairy animals.
Pure cottonseed meal contains a.
larger per cent of digestive protein
than gluten meal and is much richer
in fertilizing qualities. 1t will in most
cases prove the best feed to produce
milk and butter AS cottonseed meal
is so often adulterated farmers should
require a guarantee of AZ to 46' per
cent. of protein. --e
Wheat bran is one Of the finest of
dairy feeds, but it contains only about
one-third as much protein as cotton
seed meal and it often costs about the
same per ton, therefore the dairyman
is paying three times as much for
each pound of protein. II the dairy
man Is obliged to buy feed the most
concentrated will usually prove the
most economical.

Intensive Agriculture.

The possibilities of intensive agri-
culture are illustrated in the pot Gull
lures, where all the conditions of irri.
cation, drainage and fertilization are
under control. 1t is declared by Prof.
Cyril g. Hopkins that three times as
large crops are grown in pots as in
the open field, and that when pot cul.
ture of plants is 10 be used for com
pairing field work 1t is fair to expect
from the fields only One-third as great
yields as are obtained from the pots.
This shows that the yield of the earth
may be increased at least three times
beyond what it La now. Under such
system of agriculture, the world
would support three times its present
population, even II the present popula-
ton were all 1t could support under
existing conditions.

The AIhambra CrumbIinu,

Since more and more American
tourists visit Spain each year, the
news that the Alhambra, the Mecca
of all pilgrims to that country, is in
greater danger of total destruction
than ever before will arouse wide
spread interest in this country. The
government contributes $4,000 pesetas
year for it's preservation, but that
sum has proved quite inadequate for
present urgent needs, and one cannot
help wishing therefore, that some
wealthy American art patron might
immortalize himself by coming to the
rescue. That the Alhambra has sur
vived to this day is in itself marvel.
During its five centuries of existence
it has been subjected to severe trials.
Shattered, at one time, by an explo-
sion, and shaken by earthquakes, 1t
has at other times sunk SO low as to
be q habitation of smugglers, and
even a stable for French army horses.
The present danger, explains the New
York Post, lies in the fact that the
foundations are being undermined by
water from the old ruined conduits.
Not only are the government appro-
priations insufficient to meet this con-
dition, but the situation is compli-
Gated by quarrel among the three
directors. This has resulted in the
resignation, after 35 years of service
of the eminent expert in oriental arch
itecture, Senior Contreras. He has
restored many of the tiles, as well as
the figures and colors and the other
mural decorations, thus giving fair
idea of what the Moorish palace was
In the days of its glory.

Corn Cob Meal Good.

A dairyman who has long fed corn
and cob meal to his cows, says he has
found 1t one of his best feeds. but II ia
better to add ground oats also. This
feed, he says, with corn silage and
some clover hay keeps the flow of
milk and its fat to the standard of
summer blue grass pasture. He urges
his neighbors to try his plan and saws
his feed mill is one of his best invest
ments, thinking that grinding the ear
corn, cob and all, adds much to its
value in feeding. He keeps as many
pigs as possible to feed his skim milk
to fresh from his separator.
