"But why did you keep up that

And why don't you have a civilized

that beastly old knocker? I'd been

or so."
"Why, that old brass knocker is so
picturesque, Bruce. But why don't
you tell me about that whistler"

"Oh, but you're not going away
ever, are you, Bruce?" Constance
begged. Please don't leave us
alone"
Constance! Constance!" came fee
bly, from upstairs. Have they
caught him?"
Constance hurried to the stairs.
"Yes, mother she called. 'It's all
right. its Bruce"
But haven't the policemen come
YETI" asked Mrs. Preston.
II say, Constance!" interrupted
Bruce, who was peering anxiously out
one of the side windows. What the
mischief is that policeman doing pry-
ing around the house at this hour of
the night?" he asked.
II suppose he came because we sent
for him when we thought someone
was trying to break in she said.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're here, because
you can explain
Just then the old knocker sounded
again. Patch it up any way" Con-
stance whispered, "only don't tell him
who you are. This is such a gossipy
place." Then she vanished behind the
portieres and listened.
Say, this is nice trick, this is."
It was Bruce talking. "You fellows
had better get out on your job. Do you
think burglar is going to sit down
under tree and wait for you?"
But there wasn't anyone at the
stationhouse to send when the lady
phoned, and-and-"
well, I'm not finding fault with
you personally, captain" said Bruce,
but it was mighty slim way to
treat a couple Of unprotected ladies.
Say, you don't mean to say that
they sent you up here alone! Well,

lot of good one man could have done

Then you saw him?" queried the

How could I? Just got here my
self and found my mother and my
sister in a dreadful state of excite
ment. But it's all right this time"
said Bruce, handing him a f1ve-dollar
bill. Here's the price Of cigar for
you. You'll find it worth while not to
report this case; dye understand?
Say, you might tell the boss some
time when you think of it, that he'll
never catch many burglars sending

WELL" explained the policeman,
we've had so many false alarms this
summer, that whenever a lady calls
us up in the night it's ten to one it's
only a mouse. Ladies is very apt to
be mistaken, find"
You're right there, captain, but
this time it was the real thing, and
no doubt about it. Good night" he

A young man, born in America, the
son of French parents, went West as

pleted one of the railroads terminal

had necessitated his living in the open
for more than three years. His skin
took on a deep copper shade. He did,
indeed, present a picturesque figure
as he boarded train for home, the
Now York World states.
In the diner he shared table with
two young French girls who were tour

American, who sat opposite them.
They laughingly took stock of every
thing from his fine eyes to his hurried
table manners. Their parents, how
ever, did not seem quite so much at
ease, now and again calling in French,
Have a care, have a care"
After the close of the meal after
rising, the young man, in exquisite
French, told the young women he was
glad to have afforded them so much
amusement. They were dumfounded.
Their father hurried after the young
man and profusely apologized. In
Productions followed, and the acquain-
tance SO propitiously started ended
in warm friendship. The engineer
married the elder daughter and they
now have two sons.

Archangel with Siberia by means of
the following water route: Northern
Dwina-Vychegda-P Pechora-Ob. The es-

planned in 1909, when, by imperial or

COW ADOPTS STRANGE BABY
"Calf' Was Bred in Kentucky, Born in
Indiana and is Being Raised in Idaho.

7 Ed CouSe, a Well-known farmer of
the Castleford section, who has some
two hundred of sheep and goodly
bunch of cattle, recently had picture
taken of a COW nursing a lamb. The
mother is full-blood Guernsey, and
the "calf" is a four-months old Hamp-
shire eve, who was born en- route with
a shipment of these sheep at Washing
ton, Indiana, the shipment coming
from Kentucky, and arriving in Idaho
four months ago.
The foster child picked up with the
Guernsey by being on hand when Mr..
Couse did the milking. The eve, after
watching operations several times, de-
cided to assist in the process and be-
came quite an adept mixer, although
the contents of the bucket showed q
decrease instead of an increase as a
result of the help received by Mr.
Couse.
The COW, however, became more at
tached TO this woody visitor every day,
and son adopted the lamb as an only
child, the two became well-nigh insep-
arabic and upon several occasions
when strangers became too friendly
with the little lamb, they found an in
furiated COW before them who was
ready to fight, tooth and nail, for what
she seems to consider her offspring.
The two can often be seen together,
lying side by side, and cuddled closely
together. The COW, at first, attempted
to lick the lamb but found the taste
of wool not to her liking, and so has
given up this step in bringing up her
baby"
At two months of age the lamb
weighed sixty pounds and seems to
flourish with great success under the
guidance of this strange foster mother

AUTOMOBILE TAX VALID
Supreme Court Holds That License
Law Is Constitutional.

The state highway commission act
as found in charter 179 of the session
laws of 1913 is constitutional. The su-
prone court of this state in a decision
handed down last night written by
Justice William NJ Morgan and con-
CURED in by his associates, so holds in
a case wherein Judge Carl A. Davis of
the Third judicial district courtgrant-
ed a writ of habeas corpus to Harry S.
Kessler. The supreme court overrules
the action of Judge Davis and reverses
him. The right of the highway COM
mission to levy a special license on
motor vehicles was the issue around
which the litigation revolved Mr..
kessler contended that any such right
attempted to be vested in a commission
was contrary to the constitution which
provides levies that are made must be
based on a tax by valuation.
The case was in the nature of test
one and was very similar to that of
Ashenbach versus Kincaid. Kessler
refused to pay the motor vehicle Ii
cense as required under terms Of the
act creating the state highway COM
mission, the tax being based upon the
horsepower of the machine. He served
notice that he would ride a motor
vehicle through the streets of the city
without first securing license from
the secretary of state. He was there
after arrested and committed to the
custody of the sheriff which made it
possible to institute a test case for
Mr.. kessler applied to the district
court for a writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure his release. | reality he never was
in jail except technically in the ewes
of the law.
Judge Davis after hearing the case
handed down decision granting the
application. An appeal was forthwith
carried to the supreme court and there
the case was again argued and sub
mitted. The decision of Justice Nor
gan showing the findings of the court
is on the case as so presented, the
court holding the highway commission
law to be constitutional which carries
with it the right to require and collect
a motor vehicle license from owners
in this state-Capital News.

Wallace Farmer Urges Building OF 81.
los for Economical Feeding.

We have been laboring in season
and out of season to induce farmers.to
build silos. The silo is no longer an
experiment. 1t has been used by dairy
men with success for thirty years. 1t
was for a long time supposed that it
could only be used in dairying. We
have found out now that it is almost
as valuable to the man who grows
stock as to the man who milks cows.
We are finding out that islage very
materially decreases the cost of put
ting a round of beef onto feeding
steer. We have found out that it is
good for the eve, for the brood sows,
and for the young stock of all kinds as
well as for dairy cattle. The only an
imal on the place to which 1t is not
safe to feed it is the horse; Just why
we do not know 1t is perhaps entirely
safe If of good quality, but dangerous
if mouldy.
We are finding out still more about
silage; namely that by using a sum
mer silo, one about half the size of
the winter one, we can bridge over
the droughts, which come in every
country in the civilized world at some
season in the year. With us the most
dangerous time is in July and August
Wnfch are usually droughty periods,
when the grass is short and flies are
bad. We are finding out that by hav-
ing summer silo we can provide pas
ture out of silo till the rains come in
the fall
Some of the readers may shake their
heads at this, but We are telling them
agricultural gospel truth. They may
say: while we often have these dry
periods in July and August. we do not
always have them. Some years we
have excellent pastures. True, but
your silage will keep almost as well
as the fruit your wife keeps over from
year of abundance to a year of want.
Last year we fed on one of the farms
belonging to the Wallace family, sill
age that was two years old Apparen-
ly it was just as good as the year it
was made.
Why do we talk about it now? Be-

cause il you are going to have a silo
this fall for either winter or summer
use, you ought to be thinking about it;
not about the building of it, although
it is worthy of the thought but where
you will plant your corn to necessitate
the least hauling and diminish the eX-
pense; about what kind of silage you
want, whether rich with corn or scant
with corn. You can determine that by
the thickness of plantinH If you
want to plant it as you do for the
market, for the maximum of ears; but
If you want it to feed to the dairy
COWS and want large yield of stock
with small grain yield, you must plant
it thick.
The main reason we are talking
about it now is because to put up
silo and use it economically you
| want to enlist the cooperation of
your neighbors. The same silage cut
ter and the same power will answer
| for two neighbors anyhow, and fire.
quently three, but not more Have
| you not a couple of neighbors who
would be benefited by having silo?
| If they are not convinced of this, can
| you not get them to convince them
selves by investigating it? Then can
you not arrange to cooperate in buy
| ing a cutter, and what is quite as inn
portant in filling the separate silos,
can you not agree to plant an early
corn and a later variety?
Suppose you cannot fill one man $
silo before it is dry; you can easily
remedy that by putting in water We
have done it and it works fine You
| can even take the corn that stands in
! the field ready for husking and make
good silage out of it if you put in
water enough, or you can plant some
sorghum and corn, and let the abund.
ance of moisture in the sorghum make
up for the deficiency in the corn.
All these things are worth think
ing about. What we want to impress
upon your minds just now is that you
cannot afford not to build a silo, if
you are in the stock business. You
can no more do without a manure
spreader or grain drill. There are
some things that are we'll settled over
most of our territory. There are sec
tons, say in the extreme north, where
1t is more of a question as to whether
one should build a silo or not be-
cause these northern farmers can grow
roots to much greater advantage than
we can and silage is not so practicable
in a very long and cold winter on
account of freezing. This, however,
is only in the extreme sections.
Throughout the corn belt the silo
should be regarded as an absolute
necessity ON the stock farm in every
section where there is liability of sum-
mer drought-Wallace Farmer.
