USES PHONE 10 TO IH BODE Pennsylvania Young Man Causes Girl to Jilt Man She Was Engaged To. MAKES QUICK RESOLVE — When Young Woman Asks Him to Wish Her Happiness He Decides j He Alone Can Give It te Her. — Bridgeport, Conn.—Paul J. Barber Is a prominent young business man of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. With his friend and classmate of old University of Penn sylvania days, Edward Poll, he came here recently for a visit. The especial attraction which Bridgeport held for Poli was a young woman who was then visiting Miss , Ruth B. Ailing, the attractive daugh- J ter of Noyes B. Ailing, who conducts several rubber stores. Naturally Poli and Barber were frequent visitors at the Ailing home during their stay. I Some days ago Barber, in opening his mail, found a postal from Miss Ailing. She had "just dropped him a line" to let him know she was to be married to John R._ Wrigle, manager He Called Up the Ailing Home. of the Bridgeport Compressed Paper Box company. She “hoped he would wish her happiness’’ in her engage ment and subsequent marriage. Barber did wish her happiness—all the happiness in the world—but he was determined he would be the one who would bring her this bountiful happiness. Puts in Long-Distance Call. The young man hastened to the nearest long-distance telephone. He called the Ailing home, got Miss Ailing on the wire, having prearranged with lEe 'WIlk'es-'Rarfe'Dpei'ator fKaTBo mat ter how high the tolls rose he must not be interrupted. There is little likelihood of anyone ever knowing, including Barber him self, just what was said in that con versation or how it was said, but it was eminently stisfactory and effec tive. Barber, in consequence, took the next train for Bridgeport. He did not announce his arrival here, but he and Miss Ailing, a few hours later, might have been observed on a train bound for New York. Their destination there was the city hall. A license was pro cured. It was no aldermanic holiday and—but what’s the use? You know the rest. This is not the end, however. Mr. Wrigle, happy in the part of Miss Ailing’s accepted sweetheart, knocked gayly at her front door the very day she and Barber had left for New York on aldermanic business. Mrs. Ailing came to the door. “Where is Ruth?” asked the ac cepted one. And then he had to be told. USE PATIENCE WITH CALVES Young Animals Must Be Handled Care fully—Can Be Taught to Drink Milk Very Easily. Handle the new-born calf as you would a baby. First of all, keep it warm, and be sure it gets its first milk warm from its mother. Keep it dean and keep the mother free from excitement. If you separate the calf from its mother on the third day, give it the milk warm from its mother. With a little kindness and patience, young calves can be taught to drink very easily. Never jam a calf’s head up to its eyes in milk—"ft is cruel. Let the calf suck the finger; care fully release the finger, and the job is done. FEEDING SILAGE TO CALVES Yearling Animals Will Consume About One-Half as Much as Mature Stock —Keep Free From Mold. Calves may be fed silage as soon as they are old enough to eat it. It is perhaps of greater importance that the silage be free from mold or decay when given to calves than when given to mature cattle. They may be given ail the silage they will eat up clean at all times. Yearling calves will con sume about one-half as much as ma ture stock; that is, from 15 to 20 or more pounds a day. When supple mented with some good leguminous hay, little, if any, grain will be re quired to keep the calves in a thrifty, growing condition. Contagious Abortion. Cows affected with abortion disease, long after they have seemingly recov ered and resumed the normal produc tion of calves, continue to expel abor tion bacilli with their milk. One cow now under observation has continued to discharge such bacilli with her milk without showing a symptom of disease for more than six years. HIS LAST TRIP IN SEARCH OF MINE Venerable Prospector Says If He Doesn’t Find It This Time He Will Give It Up. New Westminster, B. C.—Wilbur Armstrong, a Washington prospector of seventy-two. plunged into the moun tains of the Pitt range recently on his tenth trip in search of Slumagh’s mine. For ten years Armstrong has made this pilgrimage every summer, but this, he says, will be the last if it proves as barren as the others. Armstrong is not the only man who has beaded search parties in the at tempt to locate this hidden treasure, whose location is asserted to be with in twenty miles of the head of Pitt lake, yet which has been discovered by but one man, who is now dead. Tenth Trip in Search of Mine. since Slumagh, the Indian after whom it is named, was hanged in the jail yard at New Westminster in 1891. Walter Jackson, the second dis coverer, panned out thousands of dol lars’ worth of geld in a few days when he located it in 1901. Burying the main part of his treasure, he came out with dust and nuggets to the value of $8,000, intending to re turn and stake claims at his leisure. But he fell sick and, being about to die, bethought him of Andrew Hall, who had grubstaked him at Guytos many years before. He wrote to Hall and drew a chart. Hall finding him self in need of money in the Yukon sold the letter and chart to a cousin of Armstrong, to whom the documents finally came. Jackson's description of his find, which is in a creek in a canyon to which there is no outlet except by an underground channel, says in part: “In going upstream I found a place where the bedrock was bare, and you will hardly believe me when I tell you the bedrock was yellow with gold. In a few days I gathered thousands, and there was_ thousands more in sight. | Some of the nuggets were as big as ! walnuts. ... I saw there were millions practically on the surface. I; buried part of the gold under a tent shaped rock with a mark cut on the face." SETTLE FEUD WITH KNIVES McKelveya and Bennetts “Even Up" In Desperate Fight on a Lonely Island.

The fight was the culmination of a feud of long standing between the Mc Kelveys and the Bennetts. The two McKelvey brothers met Rube Bennett and his two sons on the island and the fighting began at once. Back and forth the men fought, grappling, stab bing and slashing until the rocks for yards around were dyed with blood. The struggle lasted several minutes. The McKelveya left the scene only after their opponents had fallen. Both were seriously wounded. START ANTI-AIN’T SOCIETY Kansas Normal School Students Plan to Abolish “Ain’t” From Vocabulary.

PROPER TIME TO FILL SILO Begin Operation Soon as Corn Has Reached Right Stage for Fod der—Let the Silage Settle. (By J. G. WATSON. Missouri Experi ment Station.) Don't wait too long to fill the silo. Begin as soon as the corn is right foi fodder The kernels should be in the dough stage but dented and the lowei leaves turning brown. Let the corn mature as much as possible without becoming so dry that water must be added to make the silage pack solidly and ferment properly. Cut into pieces half to three-fourths of an inch long to make them pact well and to prevent waste in feeding This takes more power but is wortt It. Pack well with concrete tampers keeping the silage higher at the wal than in the center. Fill slowly, if possible letting th< silage settle a day or so at a time This makes it keep better and in creases the amount the silo will hold This amount may be still further in creased by using woven wire to holt more silage at the top. It will grad ually settle into the silo but tends t< spoil while doing so. If more silage is added after such settling, take oui the spoiled layer at the top. If caught by frost, the corn for sil age should be cut before it dries out After that, add water. The corn ma; even be shocked to put in at a more convenient time or to refill the silt If enough water is added. The experiment station has pub llshed bulletins on shock corn foi silage; silo building; and silage foi horses, mules and steers.

TRAMP SILO WHILE FILLING I One or Two Men Needed to Give Si lage Such Compactness as Will Insure Its Proper Curing. The importance of tramping while filling is one that must be given con sideration. In a silo at least one oi two men are needed in order to give the silage such compactness as will Insure proper curing. The outside or near the silo wall should be kept the highest and made in the most compact condition. This will prevent spoiling which is so very frequent in poorly packed silage. If the silo is filled quickly and poor ly tramped, there will be a large ! amount of settling. Where a farmer owns his own outfit it will pay tc allow this settling to take nlace for one or two days an
