Miss Berry was married To Don
Enfico Ruspoli in Washington In 1901.
According To evidence which she gave
IN the legal action her husband was
practically penniless. She says she
round, too. that his was not really n

lateral branch and owned practically
nothing beyond small farm near
Nemi.
Besides supporting her husband.
Donna Eugen!a bought the castle and
huJoihing land. on which are forty
thfee small houses, and became the
rossessor also of the greater part of
Lake Nemi. She returned to the
United states to sell some Of her
Stocks in order To- raise money TO
close the deal. and while she was
away. she testified. her husband
changed the contract. registering It in

Two pleasure bargcs. supposed to

valuable objects, such as statues

ISSUES WARNING TO
LIVESTOCK GROWERS

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Dec. o.
DR.. l. E. Newcom, of the Colorado
Agricultural college, has issued no.
tice warning growers Of livestock to
be careful in the use of beet tops for
feeding cattle and sheep.
Every fall, many sheep and cattle
are lost, due to a Misunderstanding
of the method of feeding tops" his
notice says. "Too often cattle and
sheep are required to make practically
their whole ration Of tops and may
die as result.
"There are three explanations Of
this: The first is that the tops get
moldy in the piles, thus setting up
severe digestive disturbances; anoth-
err is that all tops contain oxalic acid
to some extent and this may be pois-
onous when taken in large quantities.
The third is that the crown Of the
beet may contain substance, prob
ably sugar, which is injurious more
especially to sheep. In many cases
where a number of animals have been
lost, removal to new feed has been
sufficient to cure the remaining ami
mails"
