MATHILDE HAS
FATHER NAMED
HER GUARDIAN
Latest Move In the McCormick
Affair Is Creating Gossip
and Speculation

Chicago, May G.-Speculation over
the result of II year old Malhilde Nc
Cormick's engagement TO Max OSSer,
Swiss riding master. was renewed to-
day following the appointment Of her
father, Harold Mccormick, head o. the
harvester corporation, as her guar
dian. Mccormick was made his
daughters legal guardian upon her
own petition in a brief court session
yesterday afternoon at which only an
attorney was present.
Immediately the question arose rs
to whether Mis- Mccormick made tn"
move to provide an easy way out of
the engagement to the Swiss horse
man or whether the court action WAS
taken to hasten the marriage. Neither
Miss Mccormick nor her father could
be reached for statement.
Swiss law requires 4 girl of Miss
McCormicks age to obtain the con
sent of her parents or guardian to
marry. 1t was pointed out that if
Miss Mccormick wishes to cancel her
engagement to Oser she needs only to
have her father refuse mis- consent.
On the other hand, if Miss Mathilde
wishes an early marriage, she must
have a guardian who will approve OF
it. When MIR. and Mrs. Mccormick
were divorced. each OF three children,
Fowler, Muriel and Mathilde was Civ
en- the choice of residing with father
or mother. the two Older ones choos-
ing the father.
The guardian petition also revealed
that Miss Mccormick is not wealthy
in her own right She stated her whole
personal property amounts to only
$40, ,000-in stocks. bonds and other
securities-not real estate"

fc,rcd that the United States take the
mandate ever the country. If the
Americans were unwilling he said
the Syrians preferred Great Britain

The former diplomat, who points

involved substantial increases" An
investigation will be conducted by

It happens, sometimes that slo

crops make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be oh.
tanned from an acre Of corn varies
from 4 to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land Is 5 tons per acre.
Hence for Cotton sIlo II might be
well to plant or 10 acres Of corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The planting season Is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
to see that he has crops enough to fill
his silo. AS case in point, Missis-
sippi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought a
silo Of 80 tons capacity. for he found
that ne had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons Of silage and since. more
over, he had only cows he decided
he had made mistake, and tried TO
sell his new silo instead of setting II
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion of the United States Department
OF Agriculture however, persuaded
him TO keep ii until the next year. and
TO put up a small stave silo for imme-
diate use. He did so. and found II
such a help in feeding his cows cheap
~ that he bought more land and re
solved to enlarge his herd to so cows.
and thus make good use of his larger
siio.
Both the height and the diameter
OF the silo must be considered. The
proper diameter of the sllo depends
upon the quantity of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size of the herd. The sllage
should be fed out fast enough to re,
move it from the top of the silo AZ the
rate OF III to inches day, depend
Ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more silage
must be removed from the surface
daily In order to prevent spelling. For
the winter feeding season II is safer
to figure upon removing inches daily
than any smaller amount.
A common error In building is to
make the diameter too large for the
size of the herd. The weight OF a
cubic foot Of silage varies according
to the pressure to which 1t is sub
jected. but in silo 80 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. So, by knowing the guam
tity Of silage TO be fed daily, II is pos
sible to estimate what the diameter
Of the sllo should be to permit the
removal of a certain number Of inches
each day. The table below shows the
proper diameter of the sllo, on basis
of 40 pounds of silage per cubic foot,

Grain in Medium Amount, Fresh Wa

Success With Calves.
feed part clover and part alfalfa for
a few days. Gradually reduce the
amount Of clover and at the same time
increase the alfalfa.
8. Do not overfeed the calf Feed as
much grain as 1t will clean up in 30
minutes and wish il had just a little
more. Feed left In the trough to be
If any remains ii should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
4. Do not underfeed the calf. II
should make a continuous gain. II
1t does not grow each day the feed
given it is about the same as wasted.
1t never pays TO starve a calf. In
fact, the calf does not begin to pay
for feed until ii is given more than
enough to make some gain.
8. Do not annoy or disturb the calf
unnecessarily. II requires more feed
to keep it growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest
Q. Do not feed moldy, musty, or
spoiled feeds. To do so may cause
serious digestive disorders. All hays
should be bright, well cured, and free
from mustiness, dirt. and coarse weeds.
The grain also should be free from
dirt mold, and mustiness. II ground
feeds get wet they are likely to mold.
This is especially true of cottonseed
meal and ground corn.
Z. Do not waste time In feeding the
calf. or in preparing feed, since wasted
time needlessly increases the cost Of
gains. Grain should be fed whole ex-
cept when teaching the calf to eat and
possibly also near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
as a rule is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may be shelled,
broken. or chopped up In the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
corn need not be removed for this pur-
pose. 1t rarely pays to shred slower
or to cut or chat hay for the calf
