SAID LOVE LED TO DIVORCE.
Arthur T. Vance Has a Theory on Do.
mestic Felicity.


New York, Nov. 5.-"The most fire.

for love" This latest contribution to
the philosophy of our domestic infe.
licity is made by Arthur r. Vance, edit.

"The weakness of our marriage sys-
TEN lies in the very factor to which
we point with pride-the love match
Married life built on love alone has a
poor foundation. Love Is selfish. Five
marriages out of every twelve fail
because they were built on love

DO you ao Ocate marriage without
love-" the author was asked.
II do not" he answered promptly
"If bread were made without salt it
would be UNBEATABLE. But If it were
made of all salt it would be even more
a failure. SO in marriage, if the in
gredient of love is lacking there is
likely to be trouble. But if love is
the only ingredient it's just as fatal
as all salt and no flour in the bread"

"The secret of friendship is trust.
When two men really are friends each
one feels so sure of the other that
neither gossip nor separation nor any
new comprehensive can shake their
faith.
What sensible man would object If
his wife went to luncheon some day
with man she knew in her school
days? Plenty of sensible women, how
ever, are aghast at the idea of their
husbands ever lunching with other
women, no matter what the circum-
stances of former friendship. Same
way every good and vrtuous wife feels

for young America" was recounted
in Norfolk Friday afternoon.
About twenty-five years ago a prom
inent business man sold a number of
cattle to a certain party who paid him
part down and left an outstanding in
debtedness to him for about $1,000.
Sometime after the sale he was mott
fled by the then county clerk that
the man to whom he had sold the cat
tie was about to skip the country and
was to have a sale of the cattle. The
county clerk gave the date, time and
place of the sale and urged the Nor
folk man to he present. The day of
the sale arrived and the Norfolk man
was present. He found that the coun-
ty clerk was also there and acting in
the capacity of clerk of the sale. The
cattle were sold for a good price
when the owner of the cattle demand
ed his money and declared he was
about to make a settlement with the
clerk for his services the clerk said:
Pardon me. Mr.. -, but before
you settle with me you must settle
with this gentleman to whom l under
stand you owe some money on those
cattle"
Il know I do" was the reply, "but
that's none of your business"
"Ill make it my business" was the
| clerks answer, and seeing there was
no other way out of it the Norfolk
man got his money.
Turning to the clerk the Norfolk
man wanted to reward him, but the
county clerk refused all rewards
When the Norfolk man demanded an

A MENU FOR YOUR HORSE.
The Kansas Agricultural College Has
Bill of Fare.


Manhattan, Kan, Nov. s. Work
horses should have good feed and a
we'll balanced ration. A well balanced
ration is the feeding of different stuffs
so the animal shall receive the pro-
per amount of proteids, fats and car
bohydrates.
These words may appall some per-
sons, but they are really very simple,
after all. Here is the menu for the
horses, prepared by the department
of animal husbandry of the Kansas
state agricultural college. The fig
ures show the quantities to be fed
every day to a 1,000-pound horse,
worked moderately. Because of the
variation in prices and kinds of food
stuffs produced in different parts of
the state, no definite ration can be
given.
The first and probably the best ra,
ton for the average farm horse is:
Corn, 6 pounds; oats, 3 pounds
bran, l pound; prairie hay, 10
pounds, and alfalfa hay, pounds"
A horse can do more work in hot
weather on this ration:
Corn, ten pounds; oil meal, /
pound, prairie hay, Is pounds"
A good ration, suitable for locali
ties where bran is cheap, is:
Corn, pounds; bran, pounds
prairie hay, Is pounds"
Another good ration is:
Corn, 10 pounds; prairie hay, IL
pounds; alfalfa hay, pounds"
If prairie hay is scarce THIS ration
although not very good. can be fed;
Corn, 10 pounds; alfalfa nay, 1C
pounds, with corn fodder, katfir corn
and cane hay for roughage."
1t will be noticed that there is lit
tie alfalfa hay in these rations. Alfal
ia should be few work horses as a
concentrate or grain, rather than as
roughage, and should never be fed
in unlimited quantities. Many farm
ers feed all the alfalfa hay the horses
will eat This should not be done, es'
