MRS. ORExEl WINS FIRST
ROUND WITH ANTHONY

London, Dec I6.--Mr%. MarEarita
Armstrong Drexel won = point today
III her action against her husband.
Anthony j. Drexel, the Philadelphia
banker. to recover money due under
separation deed, when Judge New
lie, in the Chancery Court. decided
that Mr.. DreXel's donicile was in
England. and that, therefore, the
British courts had jurisdiction in the
case. Mr.. DreXel had moved to set
aside the service by his wife Of notice
of a writ TO recover the money on the
ground that his domiciie was in
France and that he was outside the
jurisdiction OF the English courts.
Judge Neville entered Judgment i'll
favor of Mrs DreXel and dismissed
her husbands motion with costs. The
court concurred in tie statement Of
Sir Edward Carso- that Mr., Drexel
had attempted TO free himself from
the separation agreement by comnell-
ing his wife to abandon her rights.
either by going through fictitious
form of divorce proceedings in France
or by submitting to such other terms
as Mr. DreXel dictated. and said
there was abundant evidence that Mr..
DreXel had acquired an English domi-
cile, that he had made England his
permanent home and had repeatedly
expressed the intention OF never re-
turning TO the United States. The
court also held that the terms of the
separation agreement were within its
| jurisdiction. since otherwise Mrs.
Drexei would have no means of OBJ
tanning the payments under The deed
to which she was entitled.

SOY BEANS AND CORN.

(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee)
There is a growing practice in Ten
nessee of planting soy beans with corn
in the same row. 1t has number OF
points to recommend it. 1t increases
the legumes ON the farm without ap'
parently decreasing the corn ylelo
very much, except in dry seasons. IL
furnishes the best Of green forage TOT
hogs in cases where the corn is hog
ged off, or if the corn is gathered by
hand, the beans may then be harvest
ed by hogs after they have shattered
to the ground and softened. They are
sometimes gathered by hand for SEED
purposes.
Beans are better for this purpose on
rich land than peas, because they &c
not cause the corn to lodge. Ihey
may be planted earlier, at the same
time the corn is planted, which would
not always be possible with peas On
the other hand, they may be planted
later and yet produce a higher ylelo
of seed than peas.
To get a mixture of corn and beans
it is best to plant the corn first ano
then follow Immediately with the
beans in the same row, being careful
not to plant the beans too deep. II
has not been found satisfactory to mix
the corn and beans In the same box
because they are not properly dis
tributed and because beans should not
be planted as deeply as corn. There
are a number of planters on the mar
ket which are designed especially FOL
this purpose and which will do salts
factory work.
The rate of planting should be aDou
one peck of beans per acre with Inc
usual rate of corn.

TWO TYPES OF SILO

(By C. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee
The two types of silos best adapted
for use in Tennessee are the cheap
temporary silo built of wood, and the
permanent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo, For a farmer who wishes cheap
siIo. there is nothing better than the
Tennessee wood-hoop type. This is
built of 1"x4" fine flooring, which
should be of good quality heart
pine, free from knots and sap, match
ed, planned, and tongued and grooved
The hoops are made of k"x4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around a form and
made four-ply thick. The 1"x4" slaves
are set upright inside of these hoops
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silo, and one OF the
easiest to build. The average cost OF
such a silo is $1.00 per ton capacity
where all the material is purchased
and all the labor hired.
For permanent silo there is moth
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. They can be
built for an average cost of $3.50 tc
$500 per ton capacity, and if properly
constructed will last indefinitely. They
should be built of good material, with
a solid wall, six inches thick, properly
reinforced, and made smooth and slick
on the inside.
II properly constructed, concrete
silo will preserve silage absolutely
as well as any other kind of silo, and
should not cost any more than the
patented wood type. There is posi-
lively no excuse for Tennessee farm
err paying out his hard-earned money
for patented stave silo when he car
build one of concrete for positively the
same cost, and which will last at least
a life time.
