Rights of Fiancees.

The law courts of Gottingen have
just delivered a weighty decision af-
fecting the rights and liberties of
fiancees.
Some weeks ago young Berlin ar
chitect had a visit from his be-
trothed, Gottingen lady. She stayed
in the capital over the week end, and
the architect escorted his sweetheart
back to the station, where, he fondly
thought. he saw her in the train safe
ly bound for Gottingen.
1t appears, however, that the lady
was reluctant to tear herself away
from the joys of the metropolis. ST.
renlike, Berlin beckoned her back,
and at the second station she left the
train and returned to the city, where
she stayed till the next morning.
Some kind friend impaired intelli-
gence of this 70 the architect, and
added that bis fiancee had been seen
unescorted in the Friedrichstrasse.
The architect at once wrote to his
sweetheart, demanding explanations.
Receiving no reply, he broke off the
engagement and instituted proceed
ings for a return of his presents and
the money he had spent during his
betrothal including cab fares, rail-
way tickets from Gottingen to Berlin.
and the lady's board while she was
here.
Her explanation OF her conduct was
that she was tired to the point of en-
nui of the intellectual life Of Gottin-
gen, and sighed for the renowned
midnight revels of Berlin. The courts
decided that she had done nothing to
justify her lover breaking off the en-
gagement, and dismissed the action,
adding that there was no proof that
the ladys escapade reflected in the
least upon her character.
Breach Of promise cases are un-
known TO German law, so the Gottin-
gen lady cannot mend her broken
heart with coin OF the realm Berlin

dust of the days work from his face
and hands, and then sat down to his
solitary tea. He enjoyed 1t after a
fashion, then, pushing his chair back,
sat down on the old monks bench by
the fire. That done, he cut open the
envelope of his wife's letter with
great deliberation and drew forth
the written sheet within. He inn
agined at once that 1t was not long,
because the outer page was quite
blank. When he turned 1t to the
other side, his face flushed little
and his eye shone. 1t was long
time since Lucy had begun a letter to
him in such endearing terms. She
was undemonstrative, a woman of
few words at all times. But for once
she had laid aside all her reserve.

The advantages of the silo are at

slage must not be forgotten. But
one of our live stock exchanges puts
the silo question strongly in this
statement: The silo is the savings
bank of the dairy industry. Filled
with corn ensilage, it is a sure source
of steady milk production and repre-
sents the cheapest efficient feed pro-
duced on. the farm for dairy hus-
bandry. 1t assists the dairyman to
produce milk, butter and cheap fer
tilizers economically. 1t is more con-
veniently handled than is dry fodder
and makes palatable large quantities
of feed that otherwise would be
wasted. With a herd of good cows
and a silo the farmer can achieve all
the possibilities of the dairy industry
and by proper management of the
droppings of the herd can also an
nually increase the fertility of his
land.-Indiana Farmer.

Stock Water On the Farm.

Having had much experience and
dissatisfaction in regard to stock
water for hogs on the farm, think |
have solved the problem that to me
is very satisfactory. I am so fortunate
as to own a farm with no other facil-
tiles for water than a we'll and to
provide water at all times gave me
much trouble, as / went over the long
list of fountains on the market, many
of which are worthless and very trou-
blesome.
The fountains for barrels and tanks
that are usually sold by dealers are
all right so long as clean water is
kept inside and not in daily use by
stock, and will show up much better
than when in actual use. The life Of
them in my experience is short and
frequently you find your hogs wallow-
ing in a mud hole near by where the
float or valve has failed to do its
work and then to get inside of that
barrel and repair it (if you cam is
good from them without a tank
heater, and once the water becomes
frozen your float is ruined, and next
season you are in the market for a
new system of waterworks. While
looking for something to do the work
more satisfactorily l happened onto
catalogue and saw cut of stock
fountain. l bought one in 1906,
used it that year, and next season or
dered two more, and ended the trou-
BILE in my case. 1t is simple and any
one can repair any part of it, except
instantly get at any part of it, and a
little care in winter will insure water
all the time, as we'll as in summer.
l have one on a barrel and one on
tank, both on sleds, ready to move
any time or anywhere with a horse.
| have a windpump at the corner of
four twenty-acre fields in eighty acres
on my farm, and a cattle tank that
can change to suit my convenience;
then a tank six by two by two feet
for hogs; on it is attached a fountain
so placed that water will run from the
lulO tlluSI anu IL 10 Ntl-
lays ready and clean, as 1 keep the
hog tank covered. Last fall turned
eighty head of spring shoats into a
corn field and put my tank in the
corner next the pump and sold the
hogs the last of November. At no
time did we have any trouble to keep
water in readiness further than to
turn on or off the windmill. My
spring pigs now know the location Of
the water tank and visit it quite
often, even before weaving. have
had as many as 160 hogs and pigs

Hog Pasture.

Every spring I SOW two or three
acres OF rape and then have ten
acres OF alfalfa all fenced hog tight.

the rape, and that is all they get to

hogs. which receive some corn and
have no pasture to run. on. think
every farmer ought to at least have
some pasture for his hogs. They do
much better on green feed during the
summer after being shut up all win

when shut up In small yards during

afford to COW some rape. even though

for them.--R. L. Scott. in Nebraska
