Married to Wealthy Man Who Bought
Book Of Her In New York
Hotel.

New York.-When Nan Corrigan,
until few days ago newsgirl at the
Hotel Vanderbilt periodical stand, sold
the first book to young Frank M.
Bates of Attleboro, Mass, there bud
ded the romance which eliminated in
their marriage at Danielson, Conn.
The wooing, though Of short duration,
is said to have been complicated by
the attentions of wealthy Buffalo
widower, who had met Miss Corrigan
while she was employed last year at
the Hotel Belmont.
When the news girl took up her
place behind the stand at the new l1o-
tel last January the Buffalo man fol-
lowed, but he soon lost prestige after
the appearance of Mr. Bates. Monday
evening the former newsgirl packed
her trousseau and quietly slipped
away from her home without telling
anyone anything about 1t.

A Profitable Bunch of Youngsters.

AS l have found that even work
stock can be kept in good condition
on well-cured hay, II allowed to eat a
full ration at each meal, have about
concluded that on the great majority
of farms a large portion of the grain
fed to work stock may be eliminated
if plenty of good, bright clover hay is
fed to all stock, and sufficient time
allowed for the horses to eat it. This
may seem to be sort of heresy to
the vast number of men all through
the big corn states, who feed little
grain, except corn, and some OF them
no roughage part of the year except
corn fodder But I know whereof
speak; some of the best teams that I
have ever seen are never fed anything
except clover hay, unless by chance
that rum low, and it is necessary to
feed timothy hay; and, when that is
dons, feed of corn is given along
with it.
1t always seems to. me very remark
able that so few men use clover as the
principal feed for their stock, when
there is such inducement to do so. l
have never known of case where
any one was not pleased with the re-
suits in feeding clover hay to work
horses, If he had good, bright hay
and gave reasonable grain ration
in the shape of corn with it.
Where the chief grain fed is oats.
the clover is not suitable, because the
percentage of starchy matter or it's
equivalent would not be properly
proportioned to the proteids. AS
know men who have for years not fed
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily, and they have kept
in fine condition, and at steady work
on nothing but nice, clean, bright
well-cured clover hay. 1t seems to me
that great many men are wasting
money in their method of feeding,
and are failing to improve their soil
because they do not SOW the clover.
Probably the latter is the more I'M.
portant point to be considered. Com
mon sense and clover are mighty
good factors in successful farming.

The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying to
solve is that of the most economical
concentrate to be used in fattening his
lambs
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for a roughage simplifies the
above problem considerably Alfalfa
supplies the protein, and when fed
with a fattening concentrate, as corn
or barley, reduces the amount of feed
required for pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is just trifie better, pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed in con-
nection with one of the legume hays,
as clover or alfalfa. There is little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay or
with corn stover. This follows from
the fact that such ration would lack
considerably in protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat exec! corn,
pound Tor pound, when fed with rough
ages lacking protein, as the ones last
named. Whole barley may be fed
very successfully to fattening sheen.
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased for price comparing
favorably with that Of corn in Colora-
do has suggested the feeding of this
concentrate with alfalfa hay for fat
tening lambs. In this combination,
however. We have two feeds high in
protein and consequently an unbal-
anced ration. OIL meal is fed quite
extensively with timothy hay and
roots, in which combination it gives
very good results. On the other hand,

probable. however, that some cotton

and cottonseed meal. The best pro-
portion would perhaps be one-third
cottonseed meal and twc-thirds corn,
either shelled or cracked. This com.

What should be a strong inducement
to every owner of a farm with COWS
to make and sell butter is the fact
that this form of dairying makes it
possible not only to maintain the soil
fertility, but to constantly add to it.
While the solids in the milk con-
tain the most essential elements of
fertility, the butter fat contains no
element of fertility at all. Hence, the
selling of milk in large quantities in
evitably reduces the productiveness
of the farm, unless large proportion
of the feed for the COWS is bought or
the farms, instead of being grown on it.
On the other hand, butter contains
practically nothing that constitutes
an element of fertility in the soil, says
q writer in Farm Progress. For this
reason, if one has a poor farm, and
wants to adopt line of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make it productive, the best plan will
be to keep COWS, and sell the cream
or butter. And the more feed one
buys, and the less he takes off his
own place, except clover, the sooner
the soil may be maze rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover, cowpeas, Canada peas
and other legumes, have concluded
that for soil Improvement the red
clover or alsike, will be found the
best thing for the purpose. would
only use alsike in case the land
to be improved was rather moist, as
on that sort of soil it will usually
make a better growth than common
red or any other, except white clover,
and that does not make a sufficiently
bulky growth to serve the purpose
best.
In some experience of my own, l
have found that sowing orchard grass
and clover together makes a most ex-
cellent pasture; and, if one keeps the
stock off, it is possible to get a
growth that will make q fine mixture
for hay; but when clover is cut at the
right time and properly cured, there
Is no more nutritious forage that can
be grown.
