GARY CUPID GETS
BOW AND ARROWS
Elopers Plan Romantic First
Wedding in Gary Today
No Bells to Ring.

Now that a Chicago newspaper has
discovered the first baby born in Gary
and has in fiction (if not in fact) given
it FIVE city lots in Gary a couple have
decided to be the first couple to be mar
ried in Gary, and II is said have made
arrangements with Judge Huber to
have the knot tied by Justice Huber.
Tt is said that the couple are elopers
and are planning to make quite a ro-
nance of the affair. The judge has
carefully prepared himself for his first
steel city wedding. but evidently has
been pledged to secrecy for he will not
divulge the names of the contracting
parties.
Cupids entry to Gary will be well
come one and will probably be made
through triumphant arches of steel.
The mystery Of the first marriage is the
all absorbing one and the people of the
whole Calumet region will be eagerly
waiting to learn the identity of the
little man with the darts.

That the United States Steel corpora
tion is taking advantage of its right
to reclaim submerged land is evidenced
by the fact that already a large amount
of submerged land has been filled in
and is now the property of the Steel
company.
Most of the filing has been done
along the shore in the vicinity of the
big blast furnaces. Several small dump
car systems run on small tracks are
In use besides a large number of teams
and the shore line has already been
pushed out in some places as far as
100 feet, although to one not familiar
with the former line, the difference is
not apparent. Where the northermost
blast furnace formerly jutted out some
fly feet into the lake, there is now a
stretch of beach between this furnace
and the shore line. The material for
filing comes entirely from the evcava-
tions made and making for buildings
that are to be erected.

DIR. TwitcheIl's Letter.
HEALTHY cows AND BARNS.

Meeting Mr.. Geo. H. Ellis of Boston,
the well-known business man OF the
city and big farmer outside, conversa-
ton naturally drifted to cows, their care
and treatment, and the best means for
preventing disease. For years Mr..
Ellis has been milking three hundred
and his experience is worth considering.
1.-THE trouble with many systems OF
ventilation" said he, ''is that suitable
provision is not made for constant
change of the air in our cow stables.
We provide for ingress and egress, but
not in sufficient quantity. This to my
mind is of greater Importance than more
room in the tie-up. Then, too, we fail
to provide opportunity for constant
exercise. like the individual pen plan,
making the pens about S!9 or ~, and II
| were to change it would be to provide
feed racks between every two pens.
As have heard Mr.. Ellis pen system
criticised by some who have since lost
their herds by disease, while his is
healthy, was glad to get his positive
declaration in its favor as the result OF
experience. Within the past few months
a number of our dairymen have told me
that they proposed hereafter to buy
their cows and stop raising calves, stat
ing that certain officials advised this
policy, yet Mr.. Ellis declared "that the
only way to maintain your herd is to
grow your own stock" and this he does
under conditions far more expensive
than the Maine farmer would meet.
The fact is, the successful man to-day is
forced to produce as much raw material
as possible, and then convert into the
most attractive and finished form. This
applies to calves as we'll as lumber or
cotton cloth.-Maine Farmer.

The Value of an Apple Tree.

What is an apple tree worth? was a
question discussed at a subordinate
Grange meeting recently by fruit
grower of long experience and wide
observation. The speaker did not name
a value in the treatment of his subject,
his purpose being, rather, to call atten'
ton to the value of an individual tree,
problem which every one who has grown
apples can easily comprehend, and from
1t show the increase in the value OF land
from the planting Of fruit trees and the
profits of the business when knowledge
Of the work Is intelligently applied.
The course taken by the speaker re-
ferred to was approaching this impor.
tant matter of planting fruit trees and
the value Of bearing orchards from
starting point rarely taken under con-
sideration BY our Maine fruit growers.
II puts the tree and the orchard on q
business basis from which our fruit
growing, mixed up with our general
farming and a part of 1t, as 1t generally y
is. is rarely viewed. We ask our read
ers interested in fruit growing to give
this matter q measure OF study from the
basis indicated above, and see II they do
not find business promise In the plant
ing and care Of orchards and the grow
ing of fruit more inviting than before
seen.
We read with gaping wonder of the
extensive planting in the states OF the
middle west, and of the extreme prices
for which the Oregon boxes OF Spitzen-
burgs and Jonathans sell in the eastern
markets close to our doors. A fruit
journal reports recent sale OF SIX,
acre Washington State orchard for $2OOO
an acre, and the purchase made on the
calculation of realizing twenty per cent
income on the investment. Truly the
value of an apple tree is question well
worth nsideration.-Maine Farmer.
