HOGS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL When Animal Once Acquires Habit of Getting Out of Pasture He Is Hard to Restrain. When a hog once gets the habit of gettir out of its yard, pasture or whatever its inclosure may be, it is one of the most difficult animals to You can stop a breachy horse or cow if you build a fence high igh, but a hog goes through.

No farm animal will pay more for ndant feeding than the colt. The t winter after weaning, the ulti- ite size of the colt is largely deter- ned. We understand that the French Percheron breeders feed as much as ten pounds daily of bran and oats to their weanling colts. The ‘object of feeding the weanling colt is to Induce the formation of a big frame, with heavy muscling. Our aim is not fat. Therefore, we prefer to f some bran, oil meal, and oats in connection with corn. For this rea- son, also, we prefer a good quality of clover or alfalfa hay to timothy hay. In connection with timothy or corn Stover, we would feed a mixture of five pe 1 ts of corn, three parts of oats, three ts of bran, and ‘two parts of oil Well-Fed Colts. ; while in connection with good clover or alfalfa hay, we would make the mixture five parts of corn, three carts of oats, two parts of bran, and 2ne part of oll meal. ‘To a colt of draft ancestry, designed for markét, we would feed at least five Pounds of such a mixture the first winter, and, as the winter wears on, we might increase to seven or even ten pounds.—Wallace’s Farmer. FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE Some Arrangement Ought to Be Made to Prevent Hogs From Dragging Hay Around Underfoot. In feeding alfalfa hay to hogs some ‘rrangement must be provided to pre- vent them wasting the feed by drag- king it around underfoot. A rack with ends boarded up solid and sides made with upright two-by-fours far enough 8part for the hog to pull the hay through will prevent waste. It should be made light enough. so It can be easily moved by hand to avoid having FAIRY TALERS by MARY GRAHAM BONN PLAY FOR BIRDS. “One day,” said Daddy, “some little Girls decided they would give an out- of-door ~- perform- ance, and that it would be given for the Birds.” “What sort of a perfo rmance?” asked Nancy. could “How they gi They Hopped eM Chirped, be a littl which had been made up by s the older Girls. In it Peopie we to the Birds and they studied th an knew their songs and their colors. And when one little Bird's Family all die because she had been taken off to make a feather for some Lady's hat, all the Peopie who watched the per- formance cried, and said they would never again wear such Bird feathers. That was, of course, what the little Girls wanted. They wished to show People how cruel it was to wear some sorts of feathers and wings. “Some of the little Girls took the parts of the Birds and were dressed in costumes with wings of various col- ors. They hopped and chirped and wore masks on their faces to look like Birds. “Of course, but then th well, and eve delighted. “It was given out-of-doors you see to make it seem more attractive and Bird- like. And as the Play made every per- son feel sorry for Birds who were bad- ly treated, the little Girls thought it was a Play just for the benefit of the they were rather large, took their parts very ryone in the audience was Birds, which indeed it was. “After the play was over and the People had clapped and applauded, and the little performers had come out in front of the curtain they had made between two tall trees, and had bowed and kissed their hands to the audience, one Girl came out, who was a little larger than the rest. he stood on a low stump that was on the part of the lawn where the play had been given and all around her were great, tall trees. “T want to thank you all for coming here today,’ she sald. “All the People clapped again, and said, ‘We thank you for letting us come. It has been a great treat, and we've enjoyed it—yes, every minute of it.’ “*And while I wanted you to enjoy it,” continued the little Girl, ‘I wanted it to make you feel you would never wear wings or feathers again that leave the little Birds alone and Mother- less, So many People do not know that these wings and feathers are cruel. But we want them to find out—and then never, never, never to wear such kinds again.’ “She paused for a moment, and all the People in the audience shouted out, ‘We will always find out where our feathers come from,’ they said, ‘and we will know which ones are cruel and which ones are all right.’ “Then the little Girl smiled, and bowed and said, ‘We have our reward in those words of yours. And we thank you, oh, so much. And we also know, that if the little Birds could thank you—they would, indeed they would.’ “The curtain fell again, and the au- saying, dience clapped some more, ‘How fine to give a Play like this! Wasn't it splen- did! Still more they clapped, so that the curtain had to be raised once again and the Performers all stood and bowed and called out, *Thank you, thank you. For the lit- Hig Clear Voice tle Birds we Rang Out. thank you!’ “But before the curtain fell, a Robin perched on one of the trees near by. His clear voice rang out in trill after trill of joy. EverJone was speechless! Could he have understood? And soon he was joined by another Bird, and still another, until on that branch three little Birds sang out their glorious, full notes, while the audience and per- formers looked up and listened, “They did not stop. They did not seem to notice the People. They were not in the least shy. And their songs were so happy, so free, so Joyous that everyone felt the little Birds knew that something had happe»ed for thein. “And as they finally flew away, one after the other, everyone was sure the Birds’ last song had been, ‘We thank you too!’” Giving Father Away. A young minister preached one Sun- day to a rural congregation and spent the next day visiting the people. At one house the man of the house was expressing his appreciation of the sermon inecomplimentary terms while assisting the minister to put up his team. His little son had followed him, | a. m. THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE BY AIRPLANE SOON Uncle Sam Is Considering Plans for Chicago-New York Service. TO MAKE TRIP IN 8 HOURS Regular Daily Schedule, With Three Stops Between Two Big Cities Proposed as First Step in Project. Uncle Sam, at some time in the not distant future, will be carrying mails between New York and Chicago by air- plane. This is the belief of officials of the post office department who have discussed the present possibilities of aerial mail transportation with Ameri- can representatives of the science of aerial navigation and are assured that New York-Chicago service is practica- ble. It ig estimated that the trips can be made in from 6 to 14 hours, depend- ing upon the wind and that the aver- age runuing time for the 720 miles (air line) between the two largest Ameri- can cities would be eight hours. P Certain American promoters have proposed definite plans for the mafn- tenance on a regular schedule of this alr trunk-line for the mails. They point out that “the flights of Ruth Law and Victor Carlstrom were much more difficult and remarkable than the regu- lar trips we are planning. They had no help along the route, whereas we would provide everything that can be thought of.” One plan involves emergency sta- tions every 22 miles, each equipped with powerful lights, two landing sta- tions, and one relay station. The planes would leave the two termini at 6 p. m. and deliver the mail before 9 the following day. Under the most favorable conditions, the mall would reach destination by midnight. From 500 to 1,000 pounds of load or “cargo” would be carried. Lights to Guide Fliers. Leaving New York at dusk, the alr mail carrier would follow the lights | at the emergency stations to the first landing station which would be in the vicinity of Williamsport, Pa. There, at a flying field fully equipped with hangars, tools and spare parts, he would stop for oil and gas, and would then continue to the relay station near Niles, Ohio. Here another machine would finish the flight, landing once at the second landing, near Napoleon, Ohio. One extra machine with a pilot would be maintained at each landing station and three pilots at the relay station. Powerful searchlights would mark the DADDY'S-EVENING|WILLCARRY MAILS ‘DEALING IN FIGURES | cent years, | first among the nations to make con- extra machines and | emer- | gency stations and special lighting sys- | tems illuminate the flying fields at the landing and relay stations. \held throughout the country by the United States civil service commis- sion, By the) use of searchlights of about 8,000 can- | dle power equipped with acetylene gas tanks, it is stated that the pilots would be able to see the lights when several miles distant even in foggy weather and would be compelled to fly in darkness under the worst conditions only 10 or 12 minutes. American authorities agree that the development of airplane and Zeppelin navigation abroad incident to the war has been such as to promise very defi- nitely the ultimate success types of machine as cro%s-country car- riers. Heavy loads are carried, long flights made and the war planes are serviceablein practically all weather. The end ofthe war will release hun- dreds of aviators accustomed to face regular duty in good and bad weather and will bring about keen competition in applying to commerce the dearly- bought experience and knowledge gained in the war. It is foreseen that a 12-hour one, two or three-stop mail service by airplane between New York and Chicago, a two-hour non-stop run between New York and Boston, a three- hour non-stop service between Chicago and St. Louis, and even a 36-hour six- stop service between New York and San Francisco, are no longer the mere dreams of active Imaginations. Airplanes to Precede -Zeppelins. Exact information of the opportuni- ties offered by the Zeppelins seem to | be lacking in this country. It seems likely that the people of America will see the mails regularly carried by air- plane before Zeppelins sail on schedule between the big cities of this coun- | try. . The introduction as an established feature of postal facilities of such a high-speed mail service, limited neces- sarily as to weight, would raise the question of whether the service should be classed separately and charged for on a special basis, It would offer a medium of communication midway be- tween the present special delivery let- ter and the telegram. The suggestion of an air trunk-line between the two largest cities of the United States does not mean that the department will not keep open the bidding for contract service upen dis- tant, expensive and difficult routes, such as those in Alaska, to aircraft. The airplane undoubtedly now is a practicable facility for reducing the cost and improving this class of serv- ice and, when the special demands of the war cease, is virtually certain to outbid the steamship, Stage, and dog- sled. of both | : + | refinement in topographic sur- |& veying have been constantly raised by the topographic engi- neers, with the view of meeting adequately every use to which the resulting maps can be put. Uncle Sam Has Greatest Statis- tical Office in World. Census Bureau Represents Develop ment of a Century and a Quar- ter of Inquiry by Federal Government. Uncle Sam's census bureau at Wash- ington is the greatest statistical office in the world, representing the out- growth and development of # century and a quarter of periodical and, in re- continuous statistical in- quiry on the part of the federal gov- ernment. The United States was the] stitutional or legal provision for a regular periodical enumeration of its} inhabitants, and the work has been perfected to a higher degree than in any other country in the world. “The Story of the Census, 1790 to 1916,” an illustrated publication issued by the census bureau, tells the interesting history of this branch of the govern ment from the first to the thirteenth census, with a statement of the de- tails of the establishment of the per- manent census bureau, mechanical tabulation and the value of the sta- tistics, The first census, taken in 1790, re- lated solely to population, but the field now embraces detailed inquiries along 17 distinct lines, made at decennial, quinquennial, biernial, annual, quar- terly, and monthly intervals, in addi- tion to various special inquiries or- dered by the president or by congress. Among the new features Introduced from time to time were the following: Third census, 1810, first collection of industrial statistics. Fourth census, 1820, of occupations.

Value of Product of Textile Mills in United States in 1914 Reaches Total of $701,300,933. The value of cotton goods manu- factured in the United States in 1914 reached the great total of $701,300,933, according to Uncle Sam's figures, just compiled. This represented an in- crease of 11.6 per cent, as compared with 1909, when the value of the ott- put was $628,391,813. The industry gave employment to 403,422 persons in 1914, an increase of 17.7 per cent in salaried employees and 3.8 per cent in wage earners during the five-year period. These employees received a total of $169,822,599 In wages and salaries in 1914, an average of approx- imately $420 for each employee. The figures show that the cotton manufacturing business of the country is concentrated in the hands of a comparatively few persons, as the DEAD, KINSMEN SAY; ALIVE, COURT RULES Henry W.

THIS BRIDE IS IN REAL TROUBLE She Cannot Decide Whether She ‘Loves Husband or An- other Man, BOTH ARDENT SUITORS Landed First on One, Then on the Oth. er—Repented Her Bargain After She Had Been Led to Altar and Filed. Kansas City.—After the most excit- ing week ever spent by a bridegroom following his wedding, Earl Stevens, a bank clerk, has returned to his desk in the New England National bank here, and his bride is passing her days at the home of her parents in the same city. The couple have not gone to housekeeping yet and there's a reason. The young husband and the bride's parents are not sure he would find her there when he returned home at night; they are not sure she would not have another change of heart end again de- cide that she had married the wrong one of two suitors, and disappear like she did 24 hours after her marriage, The story goes back to a church en- tertainment {1 which Mrs. Stevens, then Miss Mildred McDonough, took part. She had been escorted to the church by young Stevens and there she met Herbert Gribble, a University of Kansas graduate and a musician, From that time on it was a lover's battle between the two young men. Each pressed the girl to marry him. She was fond of both, Finally one night she consented to marry Gribble. Asks for Explanation. Stevens heard of it the next day, called Miss McDonough on the tele- phone and asked for an explanation of the encouragement she had appeared to give him, Again she underwent a change of heart. Stevens was quick to seize his advantage, secured a mar- riage license and hurried to the parish house with his sweetheart. The pair went to the home of a relative and next morning Stevens returned to work, During the day the bride dis- appeared, All the next night the frantic hus- band and the equally frantic parents sought for the girl. The next day Were Married at the Parish House. Stevens bethought himself of Gribble. He called upon the musician who ad- mitted having met the bride downtown. “She said she really loved me! and had made a mistake,” Gribble sald. “She told me she was going away. She did not say where, but I probably will hear from her.” Finds Missing Bride. He did. The next day came a tele gram that the missing bride was in Oklahoma City, Okla. Gribble turned the message over to the husband, who started with the bride’s mother, Upon arriving at Oklahoma City they learned that Mrs. Stevens had left on a train back to Kansas City. A tele- gram to the girl’s father told him to meet the train she was on, but she dodged him by stopping at a suburban station, and riding into the city on a street car. She made straight for home. A censorship has been established and no word comes “rom the bride or bridegroom save stories that numerous family conferences are being held in an effort to straighten out the tangle gceasioned by the bride's inability to decide whether she loves her husband or Gribble. It is said that the bride bas announced her plans for the future are undecided. Meanwhile Stevens sticks to his job in the bank, « Dwarfs Are Wed. Greenwich, N.
