OLD MAN FELL PREY TO WOMAN'S WINNING
 WAYS, IS CHARGED

PHOENIX, July 6.-Alleging that the plaintiff E. F. Bridgeman, an old man, fell prey to the glaring promis. es and winning ways" of the defend ant. Margaret Hilton, Weldon J. Bail ey, an attorney, filed suit in the su- perior court yesterday against Mrs. Hilton and her husband, Bob Hilton, to cancel the lease now held by them )n two-s;ory house at 434 South Ninth street
 According to the complaint. Bridge man is 75 years of age, and entered into an agreement with Mrs. Hilton to lease his hous to her, the consider ations being a payment of s500 as rental, the completion of certain i'm provements, and her agreement to furnish him with food during the term Of the lease. The money was not paid over, it is alleged; the i'm provements were not made, and the meals were so uncertain and irregI- lar that the defendant was forced to go elsewhere. At the same time. the complaint continues, Bridgeman. in- sured the property for a large sum af- ie: the defendants had stored some valuable rugs and cut glass pieces in the house. but these were removed at- ter the insurance policy had been taken out, and the defendants fo!- lowed this action with threats to burn down the building.
 Therefore. according to the com plaint, the plaintiff finds that he has been coerced, influenced and begui. ed by the defendant; that h!s long ing as an old man for the comforts oI home has been treated meanly, and he has discovered his place prosti tuted, his home a grog shop, and his hopes blasted

STATE HOME LACKS
ROAD OF ITS OWN

NSSS VT SVv.N
 PRESCOTT. July 6.-When the city Of Prescott provides the Pioneer home with a road that is not depend. ent for its location on the mere good nature of private property owners, the state of Arizona will construct a building that will double the capacity of the home.
 This is the message Superintendent George A. Shea has conveyed to the mayor and some Of the oouncilmen of Prescott as coming direc, from the state administration.
 Many promises have been made to the Pioneer home by the city regard. ing a road. None have ever been kept. The present means of reach ing the institution is all right as far as its surface and grades arc con cerned. but 1t happens that there is positively no place at this time to To- cate a purely public road. The home Is entirely surrounded by private property.

CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was
Losing 364 Pounds Of 6utterfat
Every 80 Days.

Defects in the separator will, in the
course of time, make heavy inroads on
the dairyman's receipts from butterfat.
For instance, the testing of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator is
working is not regarded important by
some dairynen. But in the case Of
one herd Of IS cows in Minnesota,
which produced 1000 pounds of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested and found to be carrying off
1854 pounds of real hutterfat every 30
days This is vouched for by l.. V.
Wilson. agent In dairying for the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
with headquarters at University Farm.
"This farmer" says Mr.. Wilson. "pur-
chased new separator the next day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident. ought to be sufficient lesson
for prompting many others to deter
mine the accuracy of their, separators'

oslect the Calf II Possible When II
May Be Seen With It's Mother.
Dy good bull ana properly cared for,
will grow into useful breeding an
imal. Another advantage of selecting
the calf at this time Is that it may be
necessary to select it at weaving time
Or even after it is weaned, but the best
time. as stated, Is before weaving.
Calves are frequently classified at
fairs and calf shows as "seniOr" and
"1unior" calves. depending upon the
time Of year they were dropped. A
calf. for instance, that was dropped
between September l and December
81 the year previous to the show.
would be cassed as senior calf and
one dropped between January l and
August 81 previous to the show, q
Junior calf. As rule, fall or Sc
niOr calf, on account Of it's age at the
usual time Of holding the show, Is to
be preferred. although there are ad-
vantages in selecting spring or Ju-
niOr calf, especially one dropped In
January or not later than February.
This, however, depends upon the rules
If the contest at which the calf Is to
he shown and upon the facilities at
hand for feeding and caring for It.

DAIRY
HINTS
LARGER IMPORTS OF BUTTER
Fer First Seven Months Of This Year
22,s55,o90 Pounds Shipped 70
United StateA

The record for butter imports es.
tablished in 1919, when 9,519,368
pounds of butter and butter substi-
tutes were brought into the United
States, was short lived. Following the
recent announcement Of these impOr-
tant figures by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture the depart
lnent has compiled reports for the
first seven months Of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported 2,S55,O0O pounds
Of foreign butter, which Is more
than ever before.
This remarkable increase Is at
tributed by foreign marketing experts
Of the departments bureau Of markets
largely 10 the foreign exchange stu
alton. With American dollars CON-
manding premium throughout the
world 1t is obviously good business for
foreign butter manufacturers to sell
their product in the United States. For
eign manufacturers also have the ad-
vantage Of low cargo rates. Another
reason for the increased imports is
that whereas England was formerly
Denmark's principal butter outlet,
England can now purchase butter more
choaply from Australia and Argen-
tina. Ireland also is producing but
ter on q larger scale.

A glaring instance Of the dangers OF

At the request Of the meat inspec-

PROVIDE COMFORT FOR COWS
One Of Essential Things to Think
About In Construction Of Build
Inu for Animals

Comfort is one Of the things to think
about and provide for In the building
Of dairy barn. Sanctions are salts
factory, especially the type that swings
free and allows a measure Of side
movement. The length of the stall Is
not often enough reckoned with. Give
the cows plenty of room to stand at
ease with their hind feet two or three
inches forward Of the gutter. If the
cows vary in size, run the gutter at a
slight angle, so that the stalls at one
end are somewhat shorter than they
are at the other end Of the barn. This
allows the placing of the cows accord
ing to size in such way that the stalls
can be kept clean without trouble.
