"Sure, she comes ir as n ghost In

grain which may be fed at such times
that the cows will not disturb the
calves.
The calves may be started on
mixture of two parts of shelled corn
to one part of oats by weight. The
oats may be gradually reduced until
none is being fed at the end Of eight
weeks, but while this is being done a
little old process linseed oil meal or
cotton seed meal should be added
and the quantity gradually in
creased until 1t makes up about sew
enth of the weight OF the ration. On
full feed calves should eat about two
pounds of grain for every hundred
pounds of live weight in addition to
good roughage. Well-bred calves ham
died in this way should be in prime
condition at the end Of about 10 or II
months.

CHEAPEST GAINS ON PASTURE
Dakota Station-Animals Need
Some Grain.

Pigs make the cheapest gains on
pasture. Trials at the North Dakota
experiment station indicate that brood
sows running on good pasture and
nursing litters will do as we'll when
receiving one to 1h pounds OF grain
per each 100 pounds live weight of
SOW, as sows in dry lot receiving 2h
pounds grain per day per each 100
pounds live weight. The pasture just
about cut the feed cost in two. The
pasture alone does not furnish enough
feed for either the brood SOW with
litter or for the weaned pigs. They
should be fed some grain, 80 as to
make rapid growth. In this way the
spring pig can be ready for market
before real cold weather sets in.
Alfalfa. clover, bromus and winter
rye make the earliest pastures. When
these have not been provided early
spring seeding of such grains as oats
and barley or rape are the next best
thing.

SHE WAS 'TAILEND' AND LOVE LAUGHS
Judge Dana Grants Divorce
With an Unusual Decree. &
Woman Lived in Back Yard Of
Two Families.

Because ''she was the tai1end of two
families and living in the backyard
of both" Judge A. w. Dana granted
a divorce to Bertha May Newell. az
tho her husband, Charles F. Newell
had filed the petition for such sep&fa-
ton.
Newell filed the petition asking for
the divorce and custody of the IS
awarded both and alimony upon a
cross petition.
Unlike most contested divorce cases,
there were no vicious accusations upon
either side. The case involved the
age-old question as to whether any
house is big enough for two families
When the Newells were married it
was understood the girl-wife said
that they were to live with NeweIrs
people at 264 Forest avenue-that
they were to take their meals at that
place and have a rom next door at
the home of Mr.. NewelTs sister She
admitted she knew Mr.. Newell would
nave to support his parents. There
was no argument over those points
But 1t was because of these condi-
tlons that Judge Dana granted the di-
vorce to the woman. She alleged that
Newell's younger sister made life mis-
cradle for her; that she told her at
every opportunity that she, Mrs. New
ell, did not know how to take care of
her own baby.
Mrs Newell said she became sick
and respondent over conditions and
that her husband appeared not to be
able to see her situation; that she
stood 1t as long as she could, then
one day last summer she dressed and
started for the Kaw river with the in
tetio of ending her misery in that
stream. Nearing the river bridge she
saw someone she knew and was dis
suaded from her purpose. Instead, she
took the train to Meriden where some
of her relatives lived. The baby, she
had left with the fathers relatives and
that was one of the points used against
her by attorneys for her husband
Harry Logan who represented Mrs
Newell, allowed her to tell her story
in her own way. She did not give her
husband the worst of it. But Judge
Dana looked behind the plain state
ments of facts given by the young
mother and other witnesses and was
able to see the conditions under which
she lived. To him, the fact that she
knew before they were married how
they would have to live. made no diff
ference. To him the fact that Newell
had to support his old father and
mother made no difference
In handing down the decree Judge
Dana declared that the woman was
the 'tailend of two families living in
the back yards of BOTH" that she had
no rights and no privileges such as a
wife should have; that Newelrs first
duty was to his wife and baby irres-
pective of promises or ante-nuptiaI
understandings.
He decreed that the wife should
have the divorce, the custody of the
child and SIS a month alimony

for Sinking Marina.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Sinister indi-

STATE WANTS MONEY
Suit Filed Today for $4,000 in Cor

Mandamus proceedings to secure for
the state the use of nearly $4,000 in
corporation tax fees, will be filed in
