MR.. CHRisTYs EXPERIMENT.

Generally there is little Of good 70 be
learned at a celebrated divorce case,
except from the negative side. A mod
ern divorce case il very similar in its
instructive methods to the drunken ex-
ample in the gutter Its valuable sug-
gestfon is one of warning. But Artist
Christy and his wife have furnished
something more than mere sugges-
ton to husbands and wives. Mr.. Chris
ty spanked Mrs. Christy when she grew
obstreperous. Spanked her good and
hard. Succeeding the operation Mrs.
Christy appears to have dropped into
q sweet and refreshing sleep and awak-
ened much improved and renewed. The
evidence Is that she realized how much
had been done for her and next morn
ing said she had needed 1t and that II
had done her good.
This valuable information invests
this divorce suit with almost the dig
nifty OF scientific and sociological inves-
tigation. However Mr.. Christy ha:
made no new discovery. he has simply
revived an old one. When little Johr

attempt to breed for early filters in

The narrowing quarters need not be

dampness. Windows should be of am

is flooded with sunlight at some por-
ton of every scunny day. The bedding
should be changed frequently TO pre-

supply to keep the pige in good clean

A Twelve-Acre Farm,

the man who had it rented got his
crop out Of the way, began to fertilize
1t by hauling all the manure that I
could get about Jefferson City, and dis
tribute it over this piece of land. The
twelve acres of ground decided to put
into garden. The first year planted
it in various garden truck, and raised
1920 worth of vegetables, aiming to
estimate their value at the current
wholesale prices from time to time. AS
soon as I got some of the early veg
etables off, sowed all of it that could

two feet high, and in September I
turned the whole crop under and

could Judge, was still in the field, either
in the original shocks, or in slightly
larger ones husked out.
When handled in this way it is no
! wonder that so many think corn fod-
der worth so little for winter feed.
The same fodder, which after fall and
early winter exposure to wind and
rain is scarcely eaten by stock. and
seems to do them little good if it is
consumed. will be most greedily
eaten, and will keep stock in excellent
condition if properly cured, and then
put under cover, or into compact high
narrow ricks This should be done,
| if possible, just as soon as the green
cut fodder is we'll cured. but it must
not be done before. There is great
danger of "musting'' if fodder is
ricked before perfectly cured.
! 1t helps greatly to keep the fodder
green in color. and fragrant and pal
atable, to put it into large shocks, if
to be husked; and still larger shocks
if grown for fodder only. Where snow
and ice is not liable to trouble seri-
ously, immensely large shocks. very
icompactly built, will keep fodder
about as we'll as a rick, and it is less
liable to heat or otherwise hurt than
in some ricks. Some labor is saved in
this way, too, but in a deep snow
nohtern country one is running great
risk to leave the fodder out even in the
best and largest of shocks.
In Wisconsin, recently, we saw 4

condition, and making fine returns on

fact, everything on the farm ate il
greedily. and a little of it was given
everythign. horses. hogs and young
stuff of all kinds. This corn and fodder
came from big bay in a big cheaply
constructed fodder barn. 1t was put
into this bay just as soon as it was well
