ambitious, always working That the
testimony offered to reflect Aon the
character Of Mrs. Houff was heresay,
and that the defendant is fit to care
for her child. In view of these facts
the court, in its finding, can see no
reason why the child, Emma Pauline,
should be taken from its natural Gus
todian, its parents, and the court
therefore orders that the action be dis
missed and the child be delivered to
the care, custody and control Of its
mother, Sallie S. Houff, and to be con-
veyed by her to her husband in Virgin
ia. The court further orders that the
child shall not be removed from Dew
lis Lake for ten days.

CHARLES MOLINE
ESCAPES ASYLUM
CONVICTED PIERCE COUNTY MUIR
DERER L@c AWAY FROM THE
INSTITUTION.

Word was received by Sheriff Nc
Lean that Charles Moline, who had re-
Gently been adjudged insane and sent
to the asylum at Jamestown after serv-
ing year and half Of life SEN
tence for murder, had escaped from the
state hospital for the insane and could
not be found. Efforts were being made
to locate Moline, but it is feared that
he may die Of exposure.
Moline was sent to the penitentiary
for having killed his father. He was
in the penal institution only a short
time, however, before he began to ex-
hibit evidences Of insanity. No fear
is felt by the authorities that he will
do harm, however, as he was a simple
fellow; but they fear that he will wan
der off and die in the woods somewhere.
Officials in all parts Of the state are
being notified to keep watch for him.

SOME PERTINENT
SILo REMINDERS
Important Things to Observe In
Making Ensilage,

Two of the most important things
to remember in making ensilage are to
have the crop mature enough to re.
tain it's own juice in the silo and to
keep without developing strong doors.
says the American Cultivator. II the
corn is not ripe enough it is sure TO
make strong smelling silage The silo
must be tight and the packing SO
close that the air is thoroughly ex
PEELED when the corn is put in aud
does not get in afterward ii from
slack packing or from the buckling or
springing of the silo walls, which Of
ten happens. air Is retained or gets in
later the losses may be SO large as to
make the whole thing poor invest
ment.
When selecting lumber with which
to build stave silo or in purchasing
ready made one. look to Ii that every
stave Is sound Sapwood and worm
eaten pieces should never be used In
silo construction.
Two small silos. as regards diane
ter. are more economical to have than
one large one. In that the silage can
be fed with less waste from small
silo
IL one knows how many cows he is
going to keep be can figure pretty ac-
curately how large silo he needs
Thirty pounds Of silage is about the
amount required by COW each day.
and il 1t is TO be fed 200 days in the
year that means that she will con
sumo about three tons Of silage. Ac-
cordingly all that is necessary Is TO
find out how much silo of different
dimensions will hold IL it is only fif-
teen feet In diameter and twenty four
feet high seventy six tens will be its
capacity. but add six feet more to the
height and 1t will hold los tons. and If
ten feet are added it will hold 131
tons.
