ODera House.

Saturday afternoon and night Can
tasma" drew even larger crowds than
on the first night. The production of
the piece was equally good through
out.
Last night Lewis Morrison pro-
duced his sterling drama of Faust"
adapted from the popular opera of
that title. With the advantage of
having superb scenery, magnificent
stage effects and lights, Mr.. Morrison
also has a superior company. The
version given by Mr.. Morrison of
Goethe's immortal poem is by Bayle
Bernard. 1t is well written and very
effective. Mr.. Morrison of course, as
sumed the character of Satan and his
conception of the part showed the
most careful study and thorough
training. His mocking, Satanic sneer,
his grace, his change Of voice and
actions show him to be the actor in
all the term implies.
Tonight Faust will be repeated.

Board or Trade War.

CHICAGO, March 2.-The resolutions
adopted by the directors of the board
of trade Saturday last, cutting off the
gathering and distribution of quota
tatlons after March q, have created
much discussion. Nearly every
board of trade man has some fears of
complications that the new order of
things would bring about. 1t is very
important, they say, to have
quotations of the produce exchange
from New York. If those people are
cut off from the Chicago quotation,
they will be apt to refuse to furnish
Chicago their prices. The bucket
shop men are alarmed at the outlook.
If they fail in compelling the board
to continue to furnish the quotations,
they will have to devise some other
means of getting prices made on
the board. Just what plans they
will adopt has not been deter
mined, but they declare they will
trade in produce IN spite of
anything the board OF trade may
do. The telegraph company have
little to say. but they are largely in
terested parties in the fight. 1t
means loss of enormous business to
them, if the board succeeds in it's
present intentions unless they meet
the contingencies that may arise in
some manner not yet determined
upon. One point all parties interest
ed seem to be agreed upon and that
is that no matter what may occur, all
cOntestable grounds will be fought
over with determination.

The Importance of Good Seed.

AAo importance Oh UOOO S0oOs
So much has been written upon this
subject that the Western Rural hesi-
tates to say word more upon it; yet
when we say that immense losses occur
every year from the use of poor seed,
there will not be a reader who will not
respond: ''That is So" Well what is
the Cause of poor seed? These are
among the causes: There is not q SUI
fcient observance of the law that like
produces like. There is too much care
lessness in making selection. Seed
should be taken from perfect specimens.
We observe that one writer in an East
ern paper affirms that the bean crop
yields more tightly because seed is taken
from plants that grow few pods and not
many beans III poo That is possible.
Then-and it is here that our interest
centers at tois time of Jear-much seed
is very carelessly kept. It is not kept
in dry place. Let that matter be at
tended to at once, and whe1 the spring
comes never plant seed that you have
not tested. 1t is SO easy to sow little
seed in warm place in boxes in the
spring to test its vitality that there is
no excuse for planting seed that lacks
life

The Walk of the Horse.

Reference is frequently made to the
walking gait of horses, and the farmer
is advised when buying horse to test
the speed of the animal in walking.
That is all right, but test the speed as
much as you like and the fast walker
will not be found In all our expert
ence and observation we have never
seen but one horse that was fast
walker. It is true that there is differ
ence in horses in the matter of walking,
but the walking gait of the fastest is
not what would be called fast. The
truth is that there is not the slightest
care taken to produce fast walkers.
Neither in selection Of breeders or the
training OF co1ts is fast walking made q
special purpose, and it viii require both
to improve the walking gait of our
horses. We ought to remember, how
eyer, that the horse that will walk fifty
per cent. faster than another horse is

have had large experience with scab

curing it. l have never failed in a
single instance. send to some large
tobacco house and buy the coarse,
heavy leaf tobacco, which is cheap
from six to nine cents per pound. Use
about fifty pounds to one hundred sheep,
or enough to make very strong solu-
ton; boil it and dip while as hot as you
can bear your hand in it. Make a vat
five feet deep, eighteen inches wide,
two feet long at bottom, six feet long at
top, one end running out like hopper.
Then nail cleats on inside for the sheep
to walk out on without slipping. Set
the vat in the ground, about three and
a-half feet, so the top will be just below
, mans knees; then make a slanting
platform at the end of the vat where
the sheep go out, with the end in the
vat to save the liquid that drains from
the sheep. This should be large enough
to hold thirty or forty sheep at once if
your flock is large.
Fill the vat three-quarters full of the
solution. Catch your sheep by one fore
leg and one hind leg and hold it over
the vat with its head the lowest; then
let go, and be sure that it goes under all
over, so you may kill all the ticks and
nits. As soor as the sheep e nds it is
Loose it will turn over, and, its head
being at the hopper end of the vat, it

you refill your vat. You need have no

out long enough to eat. The drippings
