REASONS FOR SAVING STRAW
VIII Be Needed for Feed Owing to
Shortness Of Hay Crop-keeps
Live Stock in Comfort.

Owing to the shortness of the hay
crop, straw will be valuable this win
ter for feed 1t should be put into the
barn after threshing. If ricked In the
barnyard make one large. long, high
rick. Keep the middle full and well
trodden down, and make good steep
roof. After the rick settles, top out.
rake off the loose straw from all sides.
then wire down to prevent the top
blowing off. The rick should be fenced
In to prevent the stock eating into the
sides. Oat straw. If 1t is not damaged
by rain, makes a better fodder than
wheat straw. Mules, young cattle and
sheep can be carried through the win
ter on oat straw and a small daily al
lowance of grain. We always give
our COWS a good forkful of clean dry
straw after they have eaten their
mixed feed, have had an hours ex-
ereise and been watered, says the
Baltimore American.
A large portion of the straw will be
eaten and what is left is used for bed
ding. A forkful of wheat straw is
given to each COW In the morning and
also In the evening. Cows, mules and
young stock have all the straw they
want to eat and have also a good.
warm straw bed. The straw from 80
acres Of wheat and 10 acres of oats is
thus used every season; the stock is
kept In comfort, and large quantity
Of rich manure is made, which is
hauled out and spread over the grass
as fast as made. A thick coat OF ma
nure makes rich sod, and sod makes
the corn to feed the stock.

BRACKETS FOR CELLAR SHELF
Considerable Work Required In Max
ing Framework II Not Done
While Wall Is Being Built.

The erecting of shelves against
cement or stone wall usually requires
considerable work in making the
framework; this could be replaced by
placing three-eighths-inch iron rods In
the mortar of the wall when it Is
built, says the Homestead. These
should project far enough so the
boards used for shelves can lay on
same, in the manner shown in Illus
tration. Where the wall has been
constructed the holes can be drilled
in same way by employing miners

easy matter to slip the rods into

said Sydney. Il was presented with
two box seat tickets for allowing
some posters of thrillers in the win

Meriven and Sydney were astounded
at the number of grown-ups present at
the circus. how really fascinating the
circus was to adults and how bewilder-
Ing to try to watch the three rings at
one time.
The girl on that white horse is a

Quoted. 1t is benefit to the public.
Nobody wants to prevent cold stor-
age from affording reasonable returns
TO those who carry 1t on. Unless there
is money in a business no one will
want to follow It. There are two OBJ
jections to the manner in which the
cold storage business is operating in
the United States at the present time.
One is that 1t is creating artificial
scarcity and exacting unreasonable
profits. The other is that 1t is ignor-
ing the hygienic welfare of the con-
sumers. Cold storage will continue,
but its abuses must be stopped.

Hurried Eatlnq.

One of the causes which leads to
over-eating, especially among men and
busy people generally, is the haste
which frequently attends their meals.
There is no enemy of over-eating like
elaboration. If any of you doubt this.
Just try it, Eat slowly, masticating
your food carefully, and see If you
don't satisfy your appetite with less
than you do when you sulp down each
hurried mouthful. But more time
might be given to eating than is often
granted it by busy persons You can
not enjoy your food when you eat it
in a rush. and you spoil yourself for
all future enjoyment by upsetting your
digestive apparatus. When you eat
slowly you accomplish two ends. for
you eat less and have more pleasure
In the process.

PUT CONCRETE TOP ON TANK
just Level With Top to Hold
Cover Until II 10 Set.

In reply to a query as to the best
way OF putting a concrete top on q
circular stone supply tank. about
feet In diameter, the Breeders Ga
zette makes the following reply:
Make a stout platform in the tank
just level with the top 20 hold up the
cover until It is set. AS this platform
should be quite tight. 1t had best be
covered with building paper or other
such material. AS one will want a
manhole to take out the lumber, he
can cut out the boards where this is
to be and replace them by having
cleats nailed under them. The form
for this manhole should be made
tapeiing and out OF 6-inch boards, say
IS inches at bottom and % inches at
the top. On each side Of the manhole
lay an inch round rod and have some
stout wire fencing cut ready for rein
forcing.
After placing an inch OF concrete
place the bars and the fencing which
should be double and then fill In the
concrete to 4 inches, If the cover is
not to be for sustaining any weight
but its own. If it is to be the floor
OF building, then put in inches of
concrete. AS soon as the concrete is
set, or after one day, take out the
manhole box, line the hole with paper
and fill this with concrete, not for
getting to put in some kind Of ring by
which to lift 1t. After week or ten
days lift out the cover Of the manhole
and remove the wooden platform.
This cover can be made on a plat.
form on the ground and then placed
on the tank. To do this 1t will be
best to use reinforcing of half-inch
steel rods placed inches on center
each way and tied with wire at inter-
sections and then make the thickness
only 3 inches. Use mixture of one,
two and three. That Is, one of ce-
ment, two of sand and three OF crush
ed stone, none over half an inch In
diameter.

SFsuk oEOtHSTS 0ys
 The supreme court of the terri tory of Arizona at Phoenix, yester- day affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the United States against the Grant Bros. Construction company, in which a judgment of $45,0OO in favor of the government was secur. ed on June z, 1910 in the district court of the first judicial district at Tucson.
 The judgment affirmed yester- day is the largest judgment on government books in this part of the United States and by reason of the large fine the case has attracted almost national attention since the judgment was first secured in the lower court by MT. Morrison, who represented the government. The judgment was rendered not long after the famous twenty nine mil- lion dollar verdict of Judge Kene- saw Mountain Landis of Chicago against the Standard Oil company, and was one of a series of govern ment victories all over the country but not many of them have suc- ceeded in showing the government the color of the money named in the verdict.
 What action the contractors will take following their defeat before the territorial supreme court was not intimated in advices received here yesterday. Should the case be appealed to the United States supreme court at Washington, which is the last resort, MT. Nor rison will continue to have charge of the case for the government.
 This it will be remembered is the contract labor case brought against Grant Brothers Construc- tion company for violation of the Act of February 20, 1907, in inn porting forty-6ve alien Mexicans under contract.
 In November, 1909, Grant Broth CTS Construction company, of Los Angeles, California, concern en- gagged in construction work on the Southern Pacific railway, under took, it was alleged to bring a party of forty-fve Mexicans into the United States at Naco. The aliens were rejected by the i'm migration officials and the matter referred to the United States at torney for Arizona, who instituted civil suit for the recovery of the penalties.
 Attorneys for the defendant are Baker and Baker, and F. c. Struck meyer of Phoenix, and lsidoro B Dockweiler of Los Angeles. The latter was attorney for the contes- tants in the Lucky" Baldwin estate suit. Hon. J. E. Morrison United States attorney for Ari zona, represented the government
