MIR. James Skeen was a widower OF
nifty. He had the reputation of be-
ing persistent man. As he had had
lawsuit that lasted twenty-five years,
his persistency had been proved 1t
was also known that he had courted
his wife for six years and then car
ried her of by main force.
Mrs. Faber was a widow. She was
pretty well fixed financially, and she
didn't care to marry again. She had
been put to the test and had refused.
She was buxom and good-natured, and
Widower Skeen had no moral or legal
right to come bothering But he did.
He made up his mind one day TO
ask her to be his wife. He expected
to be refused. but that didn't worry
him.
The widower was hoeing corn In a
lot next to the widows house. He
was barefooted and had on a torn
shirt, pair of overalls and an old
straw hat. Five minutes after making
up his mind he dropped his hoe,
climbed the fence and appeared at
the widows back door. She was scour-
fng a milk pan. She had polished
her nose as well as the pan.
"Look-a-here, widow" said Mr..
Skeen, what's the matter of me and
you getting married?"
Lord save us!" gasped the widow
as she polished her hand instead of
the pan.

Real Country Life Problem.

THE city man does not easily be-
come successful or a real farmer"
said Dean H. L. Bailey of New York
Agricultural college in an address de-
livered to the student body at the
College of Agriculture. ITO improve
agriculture by transplanting city peo-
pie into the country is an ineffective
process. The real country life prob
lem Is to develop a rural population,
which is self-sufficient and intelligent
and the many factors for education in
agriculture now operating are tending
toward this end. The Importance of
the small farm has been over empha-
sized since farms are a result of me-
cessity rather than choice. Large
farms, well managed, viii be more i'm
portant in the future than ever before.
The trouble in the past has been that
the farm has often been larger thar

der 1t essential to keep the trees
clean of debris and the soil of the
orchard thoroughly cultivated. An ar
senical solution, as arsenate of lead,
three to four pounds, to so gallons of
water, readily exterminates this OBJ
noxious insect. In spraying to con-
troll the first brood of larvae 1t is
necessary to introduce poison into
the calyx cup of the developing apple.
About eight days after the first
blossoming the trees should be thor
oughly sprayed. About 10 to IL days
later a second spraying can be made
and where necessary, subsequent
sprayings, every three to four weeks,
should be practiced.
An excellent plan to follow In de-
termining the correct time to spray is
to place an infected apple in a jar
partially filed with sand and debris;
cover the top of jar with cheese
cloth to allow air circulation and keep
out of doors under normal conditions.
Then watch the emergence of the
adult moth and as soon as she ap-

The
Wisconsin SiIo
Of Solid
Concrete
BY PROF. c. A. OCOCK
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture

The reinforced concrete silo is no
longer an experiment. 1t is practically
indestructible, cannot burn or rot and
is fully as serviceable In every way as
a first class wood silo. The Wisconsin
concrete silo is erected with the forms
designed at this college which permit
a few farm workmen to build a good
silo at moderate cost.
These forms consist principally of a
frame In sections lined on the inside
with sheet iron which leaves smooth
surface when the concrete hardens.
These forms may be made into small
sections or larger ones according to
the desires of the builder. The best
way is to make eight sections to com.
plete the circle. so that they are easier
to handle when the silo is being erect.

To build a silo of this character the
foundation is first prepared and fin

Marsh Lands.

Acidity develops in marsh soils
quite commonly where lime carbon
ate is not brought In from surround
ing higher land. This acIdity, how
ever, does not interfere with the
growth of crops, provided the soil is
properly fortified. Very commonly
acid soils require phosphate fertilizers
as we'll as potash. The acidity of marsh
soils in the southeastern part of the
state is very generally neutralized by
the lime carbonate in the water seep-
ing in from the higher surrounding
lands of this limestone section.

one inch from the wall. The size of
the reinforcement should be laid in
the concrete as it is poured about
one inch from the wall. The size of
the reinforcement should vary accord
Ing to the size of the silo and must
be laid closer together nearer the
bottom OF the structure. For instance,
five feet from the top of 40-foot silo
two strands of No. steel wire laid
IL inches apart as a continuous band
with the ends fastened securely to-
gether will be sufficient, while half
way up this silo, or 20 feet from the
bottom, there should be four stands of
this wire laid eight inches apart and
at the bottom five strands laid four
y ches apart.
This college is arranging to build
number of sets Of forms which will
be loaned to farmers at cost of trans
portation, etc, In communities where
several silos may be erected in a
single season by using the same set
of forms. A representative of the col
lege will accompany the forms, when
they are first taken to new commu-
nifty. TO explain how they should be
used. In this manner the college
hopes to encourage the building of
permanent silos.

PAINTERS SECRET VALUABLE
II the Man Who Painted Sign at
Harper's Ferry Is Alive, a For
tune Awaits Him.

The living worth of good work is
always recognized, even In small
things. Sign-painters do not usually
achieve wealth or fame, yet 1t Is said
that a fortune awaits the man who
painted a station sign at Harper's
Ferry, on the Baltimore G Ohio rail-
road, shortly after the completion Of
the line at that point. The Western
Society of Engineers has the sign on
exhibition at their rooms.
The engineers are trying to ascer-
tain who mixed the paint and applied
II to the sign, which was placed in
position at the Harper's Ferry station
about thirty years ago. The summers
heat and winters storms have in no
way dimmed the luster of the paint
used to make the words "Harper's
Ferry" They stand out as boldly
as the day they were formed by the
artists brush.
The wood around the letters has
been worn about one-sixteenth of an
inch by sand beaten against 1t by
fierce winds, but the letters have
withstood the elements.
1t is asserted that no paint manu-
featured nowadays is equal In dura-
bility to that which was applied to
the old sign, and If the person who
mixed 1t is living and viii take ad-
vantage of the secret he possesses
as to its composition it is said he

featuring business, soon accumulate

he's only asking you to marry him,

woman was dead I reckon I'd ask

The widow didn't go home with
tears in her eyes. She vas too mad
for that. She hunted around for a
stout club and stood it in a convenient
spot. and that club was meant for
the Widower Skeen in case he pes
tered again.
1t so happened, however, that he
was called away for the next two
weeks on business, and the club was
not brought into use. One day, just
as the two weeks were up, the Widow
Faber started out to pay visit to a
woman across the creek that ran
through the town. On the path she
took this creek was crossed by foot
bridge. 1t was a shaky affair at best,
and few people used it, She had just
reached the middle of the structure
when she saw Mr.. Skeen advancing
from the other end. She halted and
he came along up and said:

She had no time to complete the

the old bridge went down with a
crash. 1t was a fall of ten feet, and
the creek had depth of six feet and

CAPTAIN RESTORED TO DUTY

The court of seven rear admirals
which tried Captain Austin NJ. Knight,
U. S. N, on charges of "culpable negli-
gence and inefficiency in the perform
ance of duty" relative to the ordnance
test on the monitor Puritan, has re-
affirmed it's original verdict of COM
plete and honorable acquittal, but
Secretary of the Navy Meyer has dis
approved the findings. The officer has
been restored to duty, however, and
the action relieves him of arrest and
formally terminates his trial.
The conclusion of the case with the
secretary's disapproval of the verdict,
created a mild sensation among Off
GERS of the navy.
The notable court, headed by Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans. which tried
the accused officer, held its session at
the Norfolk navy yard.
After an exhaustive examination OF
the record by the legal and execu-
tive officials of the navy department
the secretary announced that the de-
