DIVORCE COURT ON RIVIRtlDK.
Judge Parts Wisconsin Pair at Trial
Held in Open Air.
Appleton, Wis.—A half rotted stump
of what once was a giant of the forest
served as the witness stand, while all
outdoors, with a river view to the
fore and a gentle, sloping hillside to
the rear, was the courtroom when
Judge John Goodland, who for 12
years has presided over higher judicial
matters in the Tenth Wisconsin ju-
dicial circuit, granted a divorce de-
cree to Mrs. Ada Ebeling from Wil-
liam Ebeling.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. Ebeling.
accompanied by her attorneys, made a
flying trip in an automobile from
Green Bay to Appleton, with a view
to securing a divorce. Judge Goodland
was at his summer home at Telulah
Springs, on the Fox river, a few miles
east of Appleton.
Undaunted by this condition, they
sped to the Jurist's home. The at-
torneys hastily presented their case
and convinced the Judge that the de-
fendant was willing that the action go
by default, and without the formality
of going to the courthouse Judge Good-
land called a session of court on the
river bank. Mrs. Ebeling was asked
a few stereotyped but necessary ques-
tions and the decree separating her
from the man whose wife she became
only three months previously was is-
sued.

The increase in the assessed value
of ordinary real estate exceeded the

tate of the Ave states of Florida, Mis-
sissippi, Oklahoma, Oregon and Wy-
oming, which have an area more than
eight times as great as the whole state
of New York.
The assessed value of real estate

ed, not only increases rapidly in the
aggregate, but at the same time in-
creases per capita, and on the aver-
age the increase in the value of New
York land amounts to $1,000 and in
taxable real estate to $1,500 for every
baby born in the city.

MOVABLE WIRE COOPS FOR
THE GROWING CHICKENS
They Furnish Many of th« Advantages of n Free Range.
Th type of coop shown will some-
times prove valuabla for housing
growing stock. By Its use many of
thc> advantages of a free range can be
secured in localities where the area
Is insufficient to permit such range.
The usual practice is to place these
coops on grass land and one or more
times dally to move them their length
or width so that the fowls may have
a fresh supply of green feed and uu-
soiled ground. Of course any given
area can be fed over in this way sev-
eral times during a season. The coops
are light and very readily moved.
Dragging would be made easier by
shaping the lower edges of the ends of
the bottom scantling of the frame like
a sled runner. The coop can be still
further improved.

used with satisfactory results for con-
fining laying hens during the summer.
The care ol the fowls will take rather
more tlmo than in houses, but the use
of the coop moved dally solves the
problem of green feed; It makes It
possible to carry a large number of
fowls with many of the advantages
of free range on limited areas and It
Is the observation of the writer that
hens kept in this way (with no fixed
habitation) become broody less than
those in houses and may consequently
lay more eggs. An orange box be-
neath the roof with a hinged gate in
I front of it for removal of the eggs af-
fords the needed nests. This can be
set on and fastened to the bottom
frame at one corner so that it moves
with the coop. Such a coop will ac-
commodate from ten to 12 liens. As a

A Gallon of Cream.—A department
writer says that a gallon of cream
should be rich enough to produce from
It.6 to four pounds of butter. Cream
that produces five pounds of butter to
the gallon is considered a little too
rich, for there is apt to be consider-
ably more loss in handling cream that

HOW OLD IS YOUR HORSE?
You Can Tell by the Size and Form of His Teeth.
The upper row are typical of a horse that has reached the age of three
years. At that age there are four permanent nippers on a level with the
neighboring teeth. These permanent teeth can be recognized by their great-
er size, their square form and the groove on the outer face.
The lower figure illustrates the teeth of a horse at 2'/2 years old Then
the nippers are just pushing through the gums, while the middle and cor-
ner foal teeth are not yet shed.
WOOD PRODUCTION
IN GERMANY
Among all the nations of the world j
Germany receives the credit of hein« i
tbe most thoroughly scientific. She i
does with her limited natural r<
sources what younger nations will j
soon be compelled to do in self protec-
tion; she conserves them.
When our wood supplies stored up
from 100 to 500 years, are within High'
of their end, and sawmills that hav -
been moved from the white pine belt
of the north to the yellow pine belt
of the south have been moved to the
Pacific coast, for their last .-'tund, 'hen
Germany's scientific forsestry polic
will receive better recognition.
We do not think of moving a grist •
mill about from one wheat flela to aii
other, as the fields in turn become e>.
hausted. After one crop is harvested
another is coming on. So it must be
with the sawmill and the crop of tr*es.
If it takes 50 years to raise a tree of a
given species, then one-fiftieth of the
forest may be cut. each year, provided
it reseeds or is replanted—and the
sawmill stays at the same place and
the workmen live in their permanent
snug homes near by; the "lumber
shanty" will be a thing of the past;
raising trees a business like raising
wheat.
Pure Seed Investigations. Since the.
publication of bulletin No. NH of the
Iowa experiment station on Vitality,
Adulteration and Impurities of
Clover, Alfalfa and Timothy Seed"
a large amount of important work has
be« n done along these lines, especially
from the standpoint of purity and vi-
tality. The high price of agricultural
seeds during the past year has made it
especially important that buyers be
sure of obtaining pure seed with a
high percentage of vitality. The pas-
sage of the pure seed law has been a
long step in the right direction, but
there is still a large amount of seed
sold that is tar below standard. The
results of the latest investigation in
this line have been published in bulle-
tin No. !<9 of the Iowa experiment sta-
tion. which will be furnished free upon
application to the director, Prof. C. P.
