PROUD OF MADRID
Citizens Of Spanish Capital Take
4 Great Pride in City.
Metropolis Has Lost Much Of It's Old
Peculiar Picturesqueness-Contains
Handsome Buildings, Fine Parks
Drives and Public Gardens.

London.-"From Madrid to heaven
and in heaven a spyhole to look at
Madrid" sums up in sentence the
pride of the inhabitants OF the Spanish
capital. True, cosmopolitan Madrid,
as it exists today. has lost much OF the
old peculiar picturesqueness, but few,
If any. of the great capitals contain
more really handsome buildings, finer
parks, drives and public gardens.
A whole new city has arisen outside
the old boundaries, plaster has given
place to stone and marble, and the
statues, which so plentifully adorn its
plazas. are almost all works of art,
and worthy of their position. Electric
lights and street cars are everywhere.
The viaduct, markets, hospitals, public
buildings of all kinds, the palace-now
one of the finest in Europe-hotels
and private houses furnished with ev-
cry modern luxury, form a veritable
transformation scene, even for those
who remember the capital as recently
as in the time Of Isabel II.
In Madrid all roads lead to the
Puerta del Sol, the Piccadilly Circus
of the Spanish capital, on which, or
in whose vicinity, are situated the ho-
tells. Ten streets radiate from the
plaza, within which, from morning to
evening, and through the night itself,
the never-resting life OF great part
of the populace wears itself out with
recreation. Noise and disquietude are
it's elements of life. You will see mo-
tor wagons and clumsy carts drawn
by oxen, the groaning barrel wagon,
newsboys running and shrieking,
crowds promenading or sitting and
standing before the cafes-a life and
animation of irresistible charm to the
visitor
All types of Madrid's population may
be seen here, from the bull fighter to
the great legislator. American and
English tourists mingle with the
throng; German commercial travellers
talk business to their customers on
the seats outside the cafes, and one
hears all the languages of Europe
spoken hereabouts.
Near by is the wagon corso. In two
closely crowded rows many gorgeous
and still more simple open wagons,
all with two horses, drive up and down
a good long hour before sunset. In

the middle a broad road remains free,
and here you may see the royal equi-
page, with it's prancing Andalusian
horses, and numerous four-horse car
riages, with powdered grooms. 1t is
the Rotten Row Of Madrid, only with
carriages of more genuine magnifi-
cence and with women whose beauty
is world-famous.
At night the crowd in wagons and
on foot shifts slowly from the Retro

past the high, projecting palace of the
minister of war and the new Bank of
Spain, or through the other streets
which lead up into the city. The men
fill the cafes, then they go to the the

nent feature of the city's domestic
life.

kept up as the Thiergarten of Berlin,
but on account of the architectural

OF its high position over the valley of
the Prado-it excels the public gar.

Limit of Courtesy.

Japan's new Prime Minister, Count
Okuma, has wooden leg. 1t replaces
limb which was blown off by the
bomb of a political assassin. In con-
nection with that outrage, a story is
told which goes far to support the
claim that is made for Okuma that he
is the best-mannered man in Japan
After the explosion, which had killed
his servants and horses, besides shat
tering his leg, he was lying in his Of.
fee in an agony of pain, yet he was
able to say smilingly to a foreign
statesman who was taking leave Of
him, Excuse me, sir, for my impolite'
ness in not seeing you to the door"

Queen Poor conversationalist.

Queen Mary is poor conversation
alist. On some one being brought up
to her it is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him.
Then, all of a sudden, she suddenly
ceases, an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away Inc
fact is the queen talks well by dint OF
concentration; this does not always
last until the end Of the conversation
and once the thread is broken she
grows distracted, thinking OF some
thing else.
When fellow is as straight as
string it seems natural that the girls
want to tie up to him.

Dairying on Dry Land Farms

- AIRYING Is the one never failing
- money-making resource in dry
land farming for the family
with little capital. The native wild
grass is a dependable dairy feed.
kafir and sorghum, when given good
treatment, never fail to produce feed
crops. These sure feed crops make
good silage and for ten dollars out
lay and his labor, the dry-land farm
er can build a pit silo. Buyers OF
cream pay cash at the time of each
purchase. The dry-land farmer with
a herd of good dairy cows receives a
cash income every week through the
year, whether the season is wet or
dry.
The new settler in a dry land
country who takes a herd of milking
cows with him can go out the first
morning he is in his new home and
milk the cows while his wife is get
ting breakfast He can separate the
cream and begin steady cash III
come with the first day in his new
home. The regular weekly return
from the sale of cream enables the
new settler to pay cash for his house
hold supplies and he need not have
store bills. The skim milk fed to
hens and pigs adds to the profits.
The countless losses and failuroc
in dry-land farming in the South
west have come from attempts to
make living from exclusive grain
farming and no stock. A careful dry
land farmer in Eastern Colorado
raised six profitable crops of grain
in 1S years. The 1914 grain crop is
heavy throughout the Panhandle.
The last generally good grain crop in
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-11-05

that district was in 1908. The man
who depends entirely upon raising
grain finds the wait between crops
too long. 1t is particularly hard
when the new settler comes at the
beginning of a period of dry years.
Where the main income is furnished
by the dairy cows, the dry-land farm
er lives comfortably every year. He
sows grain only in those seasons
when there is ample moisture and
the money that the grain brings is a
surplus that can be used for invest
ment.
When the dry land farmer has suf-
ficient capital and is not obliged to
have weekly or monthly income,
beef cattle, horses and mules are
money-makers. Many of the old
settlers on the plains have become
wealthy and now have fine homes,
some of them are bank directors,
from the profits made from raising
beef cattle and horses. Beef cattle
can be finished to top the market on
silage made from kafir or sorghum
fed with kafir or milo grain and cot
tonseed meal. The gains are more
rapid than the usual gains made in
the corn belt.
When you think of dry-land farm
ing, think of dairying When you
move to dry-land farm, take ten to
twenty good dairy COWS with you,
Make your main crops feed crops for
the dairy cows. Store the surplus in
cheap pit silos. Take good care of
the cows and of the cream. You will
prosper.-H. M. Cottrell, Agricul-
tural Commissioner, Rock Island
lines.

Fall Calves Versus Spring Calves

can to a considerable extent have {
ration, which may be fed to the
calves in the winter time, which viii
largely take the place of grass.
BY having the calves dropped II
the fall, the farmer usually has more
spare time to devote to them, and
they are apt to be given a better
chance.
He also can handle the dairy pro-
ducts with more care, and, with the
cool weather in connection, his
profits will be higher, dairy products
usually being a better price at this
season because of the scarcity of
them.
Fall Calves Healthier.
Fall calves are very apt to be more
vigorous and healthy than spring
calves, as the cows have just passed
through the grazing season, and
usually are in prime condition for
developing their offspring; while the
absence of flies, and the cool, in
vigorating weather combine to pro-
mote rapid, healthy growth.
Some offer the objection to fall
calves that they are harder to take
through the winter than spring
calves, but with good, warm quar-
ters, proper care and ample feed, the
fall calves will come through the fol
lowing spring in as good or better
condition than the spring calves.
Notice the very slight differences in
size between the spring calf and the
fall calf, the next spring after their
first winter, and you will see this
point clearly.
A compromise on this question by
having the cows drop their calves al
practically all seasons of the year,
will prove most satisfactory, especial
ly with the dairy farmer owning a
herd of only moderate size.
Then, the farm household VIII be
well supplied with milk, cream and
butter the year round (something
not always SO with either spring or
fall calving) and the profits from the
dairy herd will be coming in every
week-a much better plan than hav-
ing them drop In at intervals, with a
portion of the year being without
any.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-11-05

\ that spring is the natural season
for everything to bring forth
their young, and. rightly fed and
cared for, animals born at this time
might prove most satisfactory and
profitable in general.
However, there are many circum
stances and conditions peculiar to
this season which often bring about
unsatisfactory results with calves.
In many cases the cows are run down
in flesh after coming through the
winter, so that their unborn calves
have been partly starved and con-
sidered stunted.
Again, not one farmer in thou
sand ever takes into consideration
the fact that the sire of their calves
is run down by too much breeding
during the rush season when cows
come in heat, which also has most
deteriorating influence on the size
and vitality ofahis offspring. This is
particularly true of the farmer oper-
ating only small-sized dairy, keep
ing no bull in connection, but taking
his cows to some other dairyman
who does.
Another point that often makes
for unsatisfactory results with spring
calves is the fact that the rush sea-
son for field work comes on at prac-
tically the same time as the calves,
and the latter thus often are neg
lected or sighted, especially where
skim milk is fed, some calves being
cheated by the others, little or no
grain being given and digestive trou-
bles being brought on because of
sour pals for feeding milk at an i'm
proper temperature, etc.
All at One Time.
Some claim that the calves all
coming at practically the same time
enables the farmer to tend to many
as well as he would with only few,
and, while this is true, the full ad-
vantage of this point is not taken by
any appreciable number of farmers.
With little systematizing of feed
ing and caring for the calves this
plan would work we'll, but it takes
careful planning the same as with
any other work. OF course, grass is
plentiful and forms the ideal feed
for spring calves, but the presence of
intense heat and the torturing flies
more than counterbalance the good
effect Of the pasturage as against
the succulent rations which may be
supplied in connection with winter
calf raising.
Now that silos are coming into
more or less general use, the man
who has provided himself with one

K|DNAP YOUNG
WOMAN IN AUTO
Miss Mantuso Boldly Captured
in Street Near Her
Home.

Three men in an Overland automo-
bile with New Jersey tag bearing
the number 81 ,152 drove up to the cor
ner of Bloomfield avenue and North
Fifth street about Z o'clock last night
and forcibly carried off a young
woman who was standing on the cor
ner.
She was Miss Tznoria Mantuso,
twenty-four years old who boarded
with the family of Salvatore SURGE, at
545 North Fifth street Members of
the SURGE family refuse to discuss the
affair and probably no word of it
would have reached the ears of the
police had not the kidnapping been
seen by Mrs. Agnes Conway, of 552
North Fifth street.
AS Mrs. Conway was sitting on her
front steps last evening, she noticed a
big automobile standing on the corner
of Bloomfield avenue and North Fifth
street with its front lights dark and
the engine going. The top was up
with curtains down, so that 1t was i'm
possible to see who or how many per-
sons were in the car.
Miss Mantuso, returning from work
on a trolley, alighted at the corner
just as Mrs. Conway noticed the
strange machine. AS the girl got off
the car, the automobile was started
up, crossed back of the trolley and
came up beside her from behind.
Two men jumped out Of the car and,
without parley, tossed cloth over the
girls head and dragged her into the
automobile, which was moving slowly.
Mrs. Conway screamed and her hus-
band, Harry Conway, ran out of the
house. just as Fireman Riker of En-
CINE Is, also appeared on the scene.
The automobile had gathered head
way by the time the men learned
what the trouble was and disappeared
south on Fifth street.
The girl, who lived with the SURGE
family for five years, worked in
handkerchief factory on Bank street
and bore an excellent reputation. One
of her factory chums said that she
had been annoyed by the attentions
of an ardent sutton, who refused to
accept her continued refusals to
marry him.

MONTCLAIR WOMAN
TELLS WAR STORY
Mrs. Porter Says Princeton's
President Gave Ship Res
ervations to Others.

Mrs. Nathan T. Porter, jr., of 1855
Gates avenue, Montclair, and her
two daughters, Miss Porter and Miss
Caroline Porter, returned from Eu
rope yesterday in the steamship Bal
tic of the White Star line. They had
been In the party of a hundred or
more Americans cared for by Presi-
dent Hibben, of Princeton University.
Mrs. Porter said that she was in
Switzerland when war was declared.
She and the members of her party
were informed that they would have
to remain where they were because
all Of the trains were needed for the
transportation of troops. Finally a
special train was secured and Mrs.
Porter settled herself in her COM
partment with absolute faith In the
belief that she would not be dis
turbed
But at Lyons, reached by the train
about midnight, an army officer came
into the train and announced: "Ev-
erybody off; these cars are needed ion
troops" And the passengers were
compelled then to stand in a pouring
rain for hours, awaiting the next
train. A number of hours passed
before accommodations could be Sc,
cured. While waiting, Mrs. Porter
watched train after train filed with
soldiers pass through the station.
Later, on the train, she beard the
roar Of motors and saw aeroplanes
passing overhead. The fear of bombs
thrown from these made the expert
ence far from pleasant.
Mrs. Porter said that Professor

them in order that women tourists
might return.

Porter, II have been impressed by the

Mrs. Porter also said that she had

greatest, credibility that there would

ter October 3. People who are there
