 "Of course know it, Marian" Lois declared, a little ashamed of her quick suspicious. But from the way you spoke I was a bit startled.

 F. Marian saw her sisters vanity was stirred and she yielded to the temp tation to take advantage of it to gain her own ends.

 Run over the list of your acquaint- anees. Y0a will recall half dozen men whose favorite dinner table story is about how green-eyed their wives get every time they look at another woman. And sometimes the wives bite their lips to keep from crying and sometimes they get angry, and sometimes they just laugh.
 &-
 And the wise ones are those who laugh. because it really means noth- inx at all except that the husband is trying to be funny. He is bragging about how much his wife thinks of him. and he would like people to think that he is still attractive to women.
 So summon up your sense of humoT and meet the situation as it is. There is nothing to be mortified about in it And don't imagine that it belittles you in other peoples eyes.
 They have heard the same old cracks 90 many times and they are just as bored by them as you are. They also would like to burst into tears when a husband starts out on the ancient wife jealousy wheeze.
 DOROTHY DIX.  Dear Miss DixII am a married man. I have been married nearly two years. knew in the beginning that the girl was not just what I wanted, but l thought that she would reform from some ways she had. and that she would learn to be more intelligent I also know I did not love her as I should, but I thought I would grow to care more for her, but am disappointed in every way. I am utterly miserable. What shah I dos W. J. B.
 Answer: 1t is easier to make q bad bargain than it is to get out of it. Your only chance is to have q frank talk with your wife, and buy your freedom back at the best price you can. A man who is dissatisfied with his wife generally makes such a dis agreeable husband that the woman is not lOathe to cancel the contract
 But you deserve some punishment for your folly and your stupidity in not knowing that q wOman's character is formed before her marriage and that no mere husband can alter it. Heredity, environment, particularly her mothers influence, will set a girl in a mold that does not change Also virtually no man ever falls in love with his wife after marriage. If he doesn't love her before marriage he never will DOROTHY DIX.

Agronomist Tells How
to Construct Pit Silo

"The Pit Silo" Is the title Of bulle-
tin No. 2SS issued by the Colorado ex.
pertinent station and ready for free
distribution. 1t is by John w. Sjogren,
associate ~agronomist of Colorado Agri-
cultural college. Advantages of the
pit silo are enumerated as follows: pit
silos cost less TO construct there is no
trouble from feeding frozen ensilage;
less power is required in operating the
ensilage cutter because 1t Is not neces.
sary to raise the ensifage to any con,
siderable height.
Disadvantages are pointed out az
follows:
The pit silo cannot he economically
constructed in regions where the soil
has a tendency to ave in. If the soil
will not remain In an upright position.
1t will be necessary to construct a
heavy retaining wall. and this will re-
quire almost as much material as
building a Silo above ground. The en-
silage is more difficult TO remove from
the pit silo than from the above
ground type, This objection can he
largely overcome by constructing a
good hosting derrick. Another objec-
ton is the danger of the formation of
a poisonous gas called carbon dioxide
on the surface of the ensilage at filling
time.

Rate of Crop Yield and
Real Cost of Production

That a definite relation exists he.
tween the rate Of crop yield and cost
of production Is an established though
perhaps not a generally appreciated
fact. How definite that relation and
the factors entering into II are Is an
interesting subject of Investigation.
The Cornell IN " experiment sta
ton has published the results Of work
done to obtain information regarding
The production and costs of the princi-
pal canning crops Of that state. The
report contains information on several
crops including tomatoes. While II Is
not easy to ascribe credit properly TO
the various yield-increasing factors. be-
cause, of the relatively great influence
exerted by weather conditions. the ef-
feet Of yield upon financial returns
Is quite apparent.
On AZ farms that averaged from 8
to IL tons of tomatoes per acre, the
money return was S65.00 per acre
greater than on 50 farms averaging
less than s tons per acre. Moreover,
on 81 farms averaging over II tons
per acre, the increased return advanced
to $4,000 per acre. The growers in
the three groups made average labor
incomes Of CT, 20 and 81 cents per
hour. .,
