Importance in raising animals.
Pigs grow very fast when they have
pasture and some grain as supple
ment.
Beef cattle are able to convert
coarse feeds such as hay, slower and
silage into meat.
For general farmer who raises ami
mails and grows diversified crops silo
is almost Indispensable.
Beef, pork, milk or mutton can be
produced more economically by good
pastures than by any other means.
Every farmer who is raising pigs
will find it profitable to keep one or
two mich cows to supply skim milk
for the young pigs.
Cattle in the feed lot should not be
neglected about sailing. 1t is well to
salt them often, even though only a
small amount is given at one time.
Moldy or spoiled silage kills sheep.
Good silage is splendid feed for sheep,
but for some reason sheep do not do

London.-A strange story of mar

Sheffield when Stanley Neville was
committed to the Assizes charged with
bigamy, and Sophia BEDFORD with aid

Neville, it was stated, was known
to Redford's relations as a married
man with three children, but when he
introduced himself by the name OF
Maynard nobody recognized him.

Maine Variety Have Many
Dodges to Fool the Federal
Agents.
FOUNTAIN sYRIAGEs USED
"WaIking Speakeases" Are the Hard
est to Catch-Liquor Is Cached
in Odd Places by Itinerant
Vendors.

Buffalo, N. John M. Evans, who
says he has had years of experience
In enforcing the prohibitory laws in
the state of Maine, stopped off in
Buffalo, says the Courier of that
city, for few hours and related some
interesting methods of conducting the
liquor business under strict enforce
ment.
Mr.. Evans told of many ways of
handling "wet" goods used by boot
leggers," but not one of the hundreds
with whom he has come in contact
ever used bootleg as a depository
for his stock in trade.
"While the name still sticks to in
dividuals who defy the liquor law out
side of regular saloons and kitchen
barrooms, the bootleg full of booze
ceased to be when the high boots with
loose tops went out of style.
Was Easy to Get Booze.
"Up to the time of the passage of
the Webb law by the federal govern
ment a few years ago." Mr.. Evans
said, providing for the labelling of
all wet goods handled by express
companies and other common carriers,
it was a comparatively easy matter
to get a plentiful supply of liquor from
Boston wholesalers, and even after
that most of the bootleggers managed
to smuggle in by water or automobile,
and there were some who concocted
a mixture out Of alcohol, water, burnt
sugar and dash of tabasco, which
they passed off on many an unsuspect-
ing victim.
1.-THE hardest bird we ever had TO
contend with was putting out booze
for years. We knew he was doing It,
but we could not get the goods on him,
and it was long time before we got
him, even after we were wise to his
system. This was his system:
"At night he would load his over
coat up with pints, half-pints and oc-
casionally a quart. These he would
plant, one in pile of clapboards in
lumber yard, another in a junk pile
and still another under doorstep or
in a rubbish barrel in an alley. The
next day his customers would come
to him, pay him for their purchase,
and he would direct them to the near
est plant.
1--WE began to be suspicious of him
after woman reported seeing a man
remove a bottle from the muzzle Of
one of the two historic cannon that
guard the Soldiers monument. Final
ly we trailed him at night, watched
him sow his crop, harvested it and
then placed him under arrest.
Strangers "Not Wanted"
1--WE We're unable TO get conviction
against him, although the fellow was
not working and had no visible means
of support. 1t was not until we caught
him mapping With couple of stool
pigeons that we finally convicted him.
In order for the system to work out
well the boouegger must be well ac-

Engineer Refused
to Spoil This "Liev

Pinehurst, N. C.-The defer
ence paid to golf here is impress
sive. Miss Metcalf Heating of
the Agawam Hunt club, hooked
her drive to the railroad tracks
near the club house just as
train was coming along.
The engineer, leaning out of
the cab window, saw the ball
come to rest between the rails,
saw it perch itself upon an ideal
but precarious tee in the form
of a tiny pile Of cinders, grasped
the situation and the airbrake
control at the same time and
brought the train to a sudden
STOP,
The passengers may have been
slightly shaken up in the proc
ess, but Miss Keating's lie was
not disturbed. The train waited
until a good recovery shot had
been played and then resumed
it's journey northward to less
considerate climes.

sell only by the drink, going on the
basis that liquor in a mans system
could not be produced as evidence.
In the latter places the saloon keeper
usually kept pitcher full of booze
under the bar handy to the sink Sew
eral convictions were obtained in
such cases, however. The combina-
ton of finding a whisky glass, the
odor of liquor and the presence Of a
drunk or two in the bar room being
sufficient to convince the judge.
1.-THE wiser ones would have two
pitchers, one on each side Of the sink,
one full of ammonia and one full of
whisky. One sweep of the arm would
dump them both into the sink. The
odor of the ammonia would prevent
the odor of whisky to be noticeable
and the contents of the sink could be
analysed only as spirits of ammonia.
"All the saloons in the state were
filled with ingenious hides most Of
which defied detection. When a hide
was discovered it was generally the
result of some disgruntled employee
giving the thing away. They range
In capacity from hides large enough
to hold half-pint close to the bar
itself to false cellar walls behind
which ten barrels might be concealed.
Most of the saloons had large and
small hides the smaller ones being
filed up daily from the big one by
the boss himself.
'Some of the hides consist of tanks
set inside Of hewed-out Orders in the
floor above. These were connected
with a small pipe which generally
ended in little office right off the
bar. You would order pint, the bar
tender would return to the office,
close a door, remove a calendar from
the wall, behind which was little
disguised gascock, from this he would
remove a cap and draw off the re-
quired amount. Other stores of booze
were kept in the tanks Of flush closets,
which could be flushed from behind
the bar in case the searchers got too
close and the evidence would go down
the sewer.
"Some had their main hides on
adjoining property that would not be
covered by the search warrant, to
which access was had by means Of
secret doors and subterranean pas
sages."
Beer Sold Openly.
''What about 2.75 per cent beer?"
was asked.
Ever since 2.75 per cent beer was
brewed," he replied, sit has been on
sale openly in Maine. Fruit stores
and small stands of all kinds paid $25
for a federal license and put in d
stock of bottled beer, while the sa-
looms sold the bottled and draught
goods both. If the saloons have a
right to sell it because it is non-in-
toxicating and if it is non-intoxicar-
ing can't see the necessity of carry
ing an excessive tax / can't see
what is there to prevent soda foun-
tains or anyone selling 2.75 beer af-
ter paying the federal tax of $25.
prohibition in Maine for many
years was joke except for occasional
spasms of enforcement just before an
election when the party in power
figured that they needed votes or the
county treasury needed money. 1t is
an interesting game to chase the
evaders and anticipate it will be
even more SO in the event Of nation
wide prohibition"

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Exposure to Wind and Storms Is Cause
of Much Loss-Protection
Is Not Costly.

Great sheep losses come through ex-
posture to wind and storm. In all parts
Of the country farms that have sheep
on them will do well to provide shelter
from bad weather. These DO not cost
so much as to have the sheep die in
the cold and wet. If we had all the
money that is lost in sheep in any one
year through exposure to storm we
would be far richer than we are.

seated by an open window in a

around it's broad side to sud-

from the collar, the collar was
unbuttoned and whipped from
the mans neck and all went
flying out Of the window on the
opposite side of the car.

could raise few baby beeves profit
ably without great expense. In addi-
ton to the pasture a silo will be need
ed and a single crop. 1t may be adj
visable in addition to plant soiling
crops to supplement the silage and
pasture. Some hay should be available
and enough grain to finish the calves
for market.
