A Question Of
Money
By WARREN MILLER

Jim Spangler, the grandson of a Cah
fOrnia "forty-niner," inherited from
his progenitOr not only wealth, but
something of his brusqueness. Jim
went to Italy soon after completing his
education, where he fell in with one
of the pany princes ef that country. a
man Of fifty, with a family Of mar
riageable daughters. 1t occurred to
Jim that, since he was known to be
very rich, he might aspire to the hand
Of one of these princesses notwith-
standing that he was commoner.
Jim asked an Italian friend what he
thought about it, ald the FREUD saiI
that a match might be brought about,
but it must be done in the European
and not the American way.
Jim, after long deliberation, conclud-
ed to enter the matrimonial machine
and get himself ground out husband
In way he would be free to back out
provided he was willing to appear to
turn down girl who would not be per-
mitted to turn him down, whether she

Jim was now as anxious to with.
draw from the affair as he had been
to get into it. He had thought much
and with pride upon taking a princess
back home with him as his wife, but
even this honor was not enough to
make up for living with a woman who
had not spoken word to him during
his visit
The next question was how to with.
draw from the arrangement. After
much thought and discarding many
plans Jim settled on the following:
He would say that so beautiful. 50
high born lady, would be considered
In America to have demeaned herself
by marrying miners grandson and
her place In American society would
be equivocal. For that reason a mar,

Proper Feed for Young Pig
Is Important at This Time
Those Farrowed Early in March Now Ready for Pasture
Question Of Grain Ration Requires Careful Study-ree
Per Cent Ration Advised

BY this season of the year the pigs
are almost ready to wean, and are
old enough to go on pasture with their
mothers. This brings up the question
of pasture management during the
spring and summer months. On this
subject there are a number of varied
opinions. Some breeders who raise
their hogs with the emphasis on the
cheapness Of the ration rather than
on the quality of the pigs produced
figure on feeding no grain whatever
with their summer forage. Others go
to the opposite extreme and give the
pigs constant access to a self-feeder
In their pasture. Others vary in the
amount of grain fed. II pigs have but
a small pasture they will not do well
unless some grain is fed. Where the
pasture Is extensive, as Is tho case
with farmers who turn their hogs into
their clover and alfalfa meadows. the
pigs undoubtedly do better. proba bly,
because of the more varied selection
of tender feed that the large pasture
| furnishes. Where pigs have constant
access to a self-feeder they need little
! additional finishing to put them on
| the market, but the grain cost is high.
| for pigs SO run will eat close to a five
per cent ration of grain. In such a
! case the pigs are fat from the time
| they are a few weeks old and carry

growth at the start.
| Perhaps the best method is to give
the pigs a good sized pasture of either
clover, alfalfa. rape or some other
green stuff, and to feed either a two
or a three per cent grain ration. This
Is enough grain to keep the pigs grow
ing well, yet there is not enough grain
to satisfy their hunger and they make
| most Of their gains on the alfalfa OF
other pasture. which, OF course, is the
cheapest form of food that can be
provided. Where thus fed the pigs
make a good growth of frame, are

This Pest Does Extensive
Damage to Fields Un-

Vigilance and Prompt Appi;-

Necessary.
POISON BRAN BEST

Two years ago the cutworm raw
ages in the grain fields of the state
ran into the thousands Of dollars. The
worms appeared as if by magic, ate
their way through the fields and ruined
hundreds of acres OF grain which gave
fair promise Of future crop. For u
time many farmers did not know
used to fight the pest. Predictions
are that we are liable to have an
other attack this year. though it is
doubtful If it will be nearly as serious
as it was two years ago.
Farmers should be on the lookout for
cutworms these days, for this is the
time Of the year when they are liable
to appear. AS there was but little
volunteer grain last fall in most parts
of the state, it Is probable that many
cutworms hibernated in the alfalfa
sod and it would be well to look after
the alfalfa meadows as well as the
pest.
In grain the injury is generally oted
at one end or corner Of the field and
gradually extends into the field as
the worms move on in search of new
food. Where such a condition exists
and the worms are almost entirely
localized, it is necessary to apply The
bran mash treatment to only that
portion of the field where the worm.
