SALE PRICE OF
HUSBANDS
NOT SET

BOSTON, Jan. Husbands
are being appraised in Boston and
vicinity by expert appraisers as the
result of offer of Mrs. Agres Eve
lyn BedeII to sell her husband for
$1,000. There is much controversy
among the women folk and little
prospect of agreement on a sci
scale.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith, social
worker, started new price list to-
day by declaring that the average
working man is worth but $500,
hence that's the correct husband
price.

pear among those present as charming

three of the famous beauties have sons

The modern woman is always as
young as she looks. and never a minute
older than she feels. Except as a con-
venience for booking engagements, the
calender has gone quite out of date,
and even birthdays are not nearly as
important as they used to be.
If a woman's birthday is to be re-

Wedding Receptions
rendered Old and
Young Couples

Friday, October a, was the thir-
tieth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. H. g. Frankenburger of
this city, and the occasion was
honored by very pleasant recep-
tion given them bv fourteen friends
at the Waters home on that even
ing, The evening was deligtfully
spent in social intercourse follow
ing which a bounteous repast was
partaken of.
The reception was also given in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Palmes who
had just returned from a months
wedding tour in the south. 1t will
be remembered that the couple had
stolen a march on their friends at
the time of their marriage, and this
reception was rendered them as
symbol of the esteem in which they
are held.
October 2, 1884, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frankenburger were united 10 mar
riage in Ft. Scott, Kansas, and
three years later they came to New
Mexico which has since that time
been their home. They have seen
che state develop to what it now is,
from practically a wilderness.
The occasion will long be re-
membered by those who made up
the anniversary party.

Deer Season
On Until
Nov. 18th

The open deer season started on
October Ist and will remain open
until the 18th of November, and
one deer is all that is allowed tor
each hunter during the season.
The mountains around here are re-
ported to have an abundance of
deer and local sportsmen will be
hot on their trails before the sea-
son closes and bag their share as
prescribed by law.
State Game Warden de Baca
suggests that all hunters for big
game wear a red sweater and COW
bell together With a fog horn, to
prevent any possible fatalities in
which the hunters are apt to be
mistaken for a deer.
The suggestion of the game
warden however, is not binding,
and it is doubtful whether his ad-
vice to hunters will be adhered to,
as il remains with them to do so

One Man Killed
First Fatality Of
Open Deer Season

The first fatality of the 1914 op-
en- season for deer in New Mexico
occurred October I on the upper
Gila river, thirty miles north of
Silver City, when Hugo Behan, an
electrician in the employ of the
Chino Copper company, was shot
and, instantly killed by member
Of party, starting on a deer hunt.
While proceeding through the
underbrush, one OF the hunting
party mistook Behan for deer and
fired at him through the brush at
close range. The bullet from a
Savage rife, struck him in the left
side, just below the heart, going
clear through his body. The body
was taken to Hurley where an in
quest was held and a verdict of ac-
cidental death returned. The re.
mains we're shipped to Los Ange-
les for burial. Behan was 80 years
old and married.

Dry Farming Congress
From October 7 To II
New Mexico viii Be Represented
At The Congress. and Derive
Much Benefit Thererom.

The annual Dry Farming Con-
gress will be held in Wichita, Kan
sas, October 7 to II. A consider
able amount of money has been ap-
propriated by the federal govern
ment to aid the various states in
terested in collecting and placing
suitable exhibits. The fund is in
charge of F. Lamson Scribner OF
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
who will personally supervise its
expenditure. This arrangement
puts the Dry Farming Congress on
a more substantial footing than it
has had in the past and success
full meeting is assured. Especial
stress will be put on the education
al side and the methods of the ex-
pertinent station projects will be
given preference over crop exhib-
it's.
The New Mexico experiment sta
tion has beer requested to take
part in the Congress and the De-
partment of Agronomy is now busy
selecting material in the dry farm
ing districts OF the state and pre-
pairing charts and photographs to
illustrate the soil moisture expert
ments being conducted by the
agronomy staff. These charts will
concern percolation, capillarity,
evaporation, Transportation, etc., to
illustrate the movements of soil
moisture as affected by tempera-
ture, humidity, wind velocity and
soil texture and structure.
This kind OF representation in
such a congress brings the resourc-
es OF the state before the public
and calls attention to the fact that
the New Mexico Agricultural ex-
pertinent station is in direct touch
with the problems of the farmer.
Incidentally it offers opportunity
for the study of the methods of ex-
of neighboring
states.

Will Ship
1000 Cattle
To Texas

]. M. Heck will ship 1000 head
of cattle between the 18th and goth
: Of October, to Texas, where they
= will be fed dnring the winter and
prepared for market. The feeder
who has contracted for the 1000
head of cattle has 600 acres of feed
put up in silos which will be util-
lied during the winter. This en-
silage consists of milo maize, corn,
cane, etc and is food that con-
tains protein in such quantities as
to increase the weight OF live stock
at rapid rate.
1t is a fact, though il is not prac-
ticed in this section, that silos are
as necessary on farms and ranches
wherein to store food Tor winter
feeding, as sheds and barns are to
protect cattle in cold and stormy
weather. II it is a paying propo-
sition TO feed cattle ensilage dur
ing the winter in western Texas, il
should attract the attentionloi cat
tie men and farmers in this section
who have little or no shelter for
their live stock.

of SIS. 1t is fitted with sabstap-
tial collar and is plastered a halt
inch thick. 1t is r8 x 20 feet and
vas filled with milo and corn off
fifteen acres. The silage was fed
thirteen head OF cattle and three
head of horses and when opened
only few inches at the top was
spoiled. Dairy COWS were fed
twenty pounds a day and the hors
es ten pounds. Mr.. Bays consid-
ers silage the best possible food
for cattle during winter. He found
that the silo doubled the feeding
value of his crops. He is con-
vinced that his silo was the means
of keeping his horses and cattle in
prime condition during the trying
winter on feed which would not
have brought more than So an ac-
re at the outside. The drouth pre-.
vented milo and similar sorghums
from heading and corn scarcely
had leaf, syet silage made from
such poor material was worth at
least 81 to So a ton.

Pit SiIOS Are Being
Adopted In N. N. M.
Prove Great Factors In The Preser-
vaton OF Food Stufs On The
Farm For Winter Feed.
Victor H, SchoffeImayer in South

west Trail
The pit silo first made its ap-
pearance in northeastern New Mex
leo during the summer OF 1914.
There are about las silos in the
state at the present, and OF this
number probably half are pit silos.
Dairy farmers in the vicinity OF
Tucumcari, Mare Visa, Logan and
Endee have come to value the pit
silo as their most important feed
saver. At Silo Day meeting at
the Tucumcari State experiment
station called by Prof. ]. E. Mum
dell in June, dairy men and farm
ers from all parts OF the state tes-
tilted as to the value of the pit si-
10. AS result OF that meeting pit
silos are being constructed on doz-
ems OF farms. Farmers are begin
ming to realize that more money is
to be made in finishing live stool
on the products of their farms than
in shipping than away for that
purpose. The year 1914 is unpre-
cedented in New Mexico as we'll as
in all Western and Southwestern
states as a crop year. Wise farm
ers are seizing this opportunity to
dig silos and conserve their feed.
Some OF them have dug three and
four pit silos in which to store feed
for a possible lean year. The year
1913 was one OF the poorest in the
history of the Southwest and the
pit silo saved many farmer from
disaster. This lesson had its re-
suits in a widespread introduction
OF the pit silo. Originally a cattle
grazing country, New Mexico is
gradually becoming a dairy and
general farm section.
One of the pioneer pit silo farm
ers OF the Tucumcari vicinity is
