ga Night OFF, and can Arabian Night"
from the pen of that skillful adaptor, Mr..
Augustin DAILY, who was never known to
father poor play, will be presented at the
Salt Lake theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, by the only company
authorized by Mr.. DAILY, and under the di-
rection of Mr.. Charles Burbidge On
Wednesday GA Night OFF, will be the at
traction. The comedy deals with the trials
of u professor of ancient history, who has
written tragedy in his youth that has
never been produced and when the chance
arrives for the production of his play, his
wife (who abhors the stage and it's people)
refuses to let him go, and from that many
amusing situations follow, he trying to get
"a Night Off" and finally succeeding with
the assistance of his son-in-law and
younger daughter. 'An Arabian Night
is equally as funny, the plot dealing with
the trials of q young society gentleman
and his mother-in-law. The San Francisco
Chronicle has this to say of the company
and play:
The comedy has been played here before
and is worth the seeing. Its droll situa-
lions are as funny as ever, and the company
is as good as any that has ever played it
here. The troubles Of the henpecked pro-
essor and playwright and his desire to get q
night off, are told with broad humor, and
the professors son-in-law, with his jealous
wife, keep interest from tagging by sus-
tanning the broad fun of the play.
On Friday night and Saturday afternoon
next the theatre will be the scene of ter
psichorean festival under the management
of Prof. Younger, whose exhibitions are so
popular that they are always handsomely
patronized by the public. The details are
found in the advertisement.
Nat Goodwin will produce ga Gold
Mine'' at the Gaie.y theatre, London, in
July. He will engage his supporting COM
pany in London.-Mifror. We would advise
friend Nathaniel to ponder long while be-
fore he decides to take this trip, and then
decide not to. ga Gold Mine'' is brilliant
little piece of literature, whose chief merit
lies in its dialogue, and as about 80 per cent
of that dialogue is of character that will
very decidedly rub the fur of the British
lion the wrong way, we fail to see wherein
the average Britisher is going to convulse
himself with laughter over it, or pay his
pounds, shillings and pence into Mr. Good
wins Golfers for the purpose of focl1ing to
it. There is more fame and money, Nat, in
staying home.

APPLYING STABLE MANURE.

In the application of stable manure,
says writer in the Rural New Yorker, l
Lave practice consider particularly
good. In preparing the ground. plow
as soon as the previous crop-mostly
oats-is removed. The surface is leveled
and the manure was put on, and all after
working is done. with disk harrow.
The wheat is put in with a drill
well staggered to prevent dragging the
manure. In eight trials of this method
the yield of wheat has fallen below thirty
bushels per acre only once: while once
it reached thirty-seven bushels and the
grass stand has always been perfect. A
strip through a field that got a double.
but not a heavy coat of manure was a
close blue grass sod the second summer
after wheat. This year field of alsike
clover was admired by all who saw it. A
field that has been moved four seasons,
has yielded nearly twice as much hay as
an adjoining one equal in every respect
except in regard to the preparation Of the
ground and the position of the manure.

CHICKEN LICE.

A correspondent asks for an effective
method Of getting his poultry rid of lice.
Probably the most effective remedy to
be suggested is the following advice Civ
en- out by authority of the Illinois expert
ment station;
Eternal vigilance is the price of free
dom from this pest of the poultry yard.
An ounce of prevention is better than all
the cures ever invented. And the first
essential in the way of prevention is clean
illness. Then give the fowls half a
chance and they will keep off the vermin.
They must be literally supplied with
Stacked lime. dry ashes, and dust, in
which they can wallow and take their
dust-baths. But when the pest have OBJ
tanned a stronghold upon the poultry
premises there are various methods rec
commended for their determination.

$l.oo PER ANNUM..

Brahma chickens. The discovery was
soon made that the hen house was
swarming with vermin, and the pests
cleared out in short order. The house
was thoroughly cleaned, the inside was
whitwashed. and the roosts were literally
saturated with kerosene oil. Then the
ground floor was covered with clean, dry
sand and gravel, sprinkled with lime.
Shallow boxes were provided, filed with
dry ashes and road dust. Then each
fowl was taken and treated to an applica-
tion of kerosene OIL rubbed on the parts
most infested with the insects. That did
the business, and there was no repetition
of the plague.
Another method said to be effective is
to close the house tightly 0he hens out
side, of course) and burn therein a pound
or so of the -four of sulphur, placed in an
iron vessel. The fumes will penetrate
every crevice and destroy all insect life.
But the free use of kerosene applied to
the roosts and plentiful whiteWashing
will destroy the vermin most safely and
economically. A little crude carbolic
acid mixed with the whitewash will
make it more effective.
When young chicks are found to be
troubled, apply a little common grease to
the little fellows, and they will soon be
happy.

THE TAX ON Tw1NE.
se.5oo,ooo Penalty On the crimo of Raising

$4,000, 900 Penalty On the Crins Of Raising
Grain.
BnooKLYN, July 2S.-ED1roR FARM
ERs' ADvocATE: It takes $4,000 tons of
twine a year to bind the wheat and oat
crop of the country. 1t is worth at
the manufacturers price 13c a pound; the
value of the $4,000 tons at the manu-
facturers' price therefore is 3d.
600, 600 and this is what the small grain
crop Of the country pays every year for
the twine used in harvesting it, The pro-
tectiye duty on this twine is 40 per cent
al valorem so that it will be strictly
within limits to say that one-half the
cost Of the binding twine is the real value
of the article, and the other half is pro-
tection-or to put the matter in differ
ent shape, that the small grain farmers
Of the United States are made to pay a
penalty Of Sc, 500, 900 a year for the crime
of raising those crops. Estimating the
portion of the wheat yield that is bound
with twine at 800, ,OOO, 900 bushels and the
oat yield at 500, 900, 900 bushels, the cost
.h,,shel is 8 mills. This looks like Y
thing 100 insignificant to be talked about,
but it helps to tell on the farmer when he
only gets GOc for his wheat and 12c for
his cats.
And the curious part of the business is
that the government which EFFORTS this
tax from him has no earthly use for: it,
since it has more money than it knows
what to do with. 1t wrings the tax from
him and hands it over to the twine manu-
facturer and the hemp raiser to protect
them in their business. If farmer raises
1000 bushels of wheat and oats the
penalty is 80. If the farmer of grain
growing country in Illinois or Kansas
raises l. 1000. 900 bushels, the penalty is
81, 900. The wheat crop of the state of
Illinois,in 1883 was a4,OOO.00O bushels
and the oat crop l37, 900. 900 bushels. the
total being III. 900, 600 bushels. and the
cost of the twine used in the binding was
~. 304. 600. one-ha!f of which was pro-
lection.
In other words this government of the
United States forced the Illinois farmers
to pay penalty Of 81 1917, 600 for daring
to cultivate wheat and oats, and handed
the money over to the favorite persons en-
gagged in the praisworthy business of
making twine and this is the policy
which the republican senators and repre-
sentatives in congress from Illinois favor
and support as a means of projecting
American labor" and developing Amer
ican industries. EMMA.

The Western Rurul gives the various

ment station is responsible for the esti

sectici6es named. 1t has issued a bulle-
tin in which it gives it's estimate Of the
arsenites, carbolized plaster, kerosene
emulsion, bubach or pyrethrum, kero-
sene ointment and carbolic acid emulsion.
Prof. Cook says that as London purple
is much cheaper than Paris green cost
ing only fifteen cents per pound, and is
just as etfectivein practical use, it should
always be used when it can be had. un-
less On very tender foliage, like that Of
the peach, when only Paris green should
be made use Of. It is still a question if
the arsenites should be used on the peach.
London purple may be used either dry,
mixed with land plaster-one pound Of
the poison to eighty or one hundred of
the plaster-or mixed with water-one
pound to two hundred gallons of water.
1t is not the strength of mixture, but the
force and thorougllness with which it is
applied that secures success. The water
mixture, which will usually be most sat
isfactory, should, be kept well stirred,
that the heavy mineral poison may not
settle; should never be applied to fruit
trees till the blossoms fall from the trees
It should be applied to the apple trees
but once, except in case of very heavy
rains. when it should be repeated two or
three weeks after the first application;
should be used two OF three times at in
teryals of ten days or two weeks on the
plums, and after every heavy rain, may
be used to defend against the potato
beetle, and all leaf or Indicating insects
that tlefoliate our fruit trees early in the
season, and on our shade trees for such
insects at any time. Force pumps are
excellent to apply the water mixture to
potato vines and to fruit antlsshade trees.
By use of a barrel or tank mounted high
on a wagon, we can treat potato vines and
low shrubs ETC., by aid Of gravity very
easily and cheaply. 1t is too bad that our
fruit trees are SO high that we can not
treat them in the same way. In the ap-
pie orchard the use of London purple
is so valuable that no one can afford to
neglect it's practice. Used just after the
blossoms of the latest bloming varieties,
like the Northern Spy, have fallen, this
substance destroys the codling moth, tent
caterpillar, canker worm and several
minute leaf rollers; all of which are SER
ious pests, and often do great damage.
Here, then, is case where the orchard
lists can kill several birds with single
stone.

II Says That the Republican Party Has Left Ita
Principles Of Right

II Says That the Republican Party Has Left It's
Principles Of Right.
We realize the fact that it is hard to cut
loose from old parties and form new ties.
We are proud of the old republican party
and from it's organization when it held to
the teachings of Charles Sumner, William
Seward, Thadeus Stevens. Abraham
Lincoln and other true patriots who stood
for principle. right and justice. But am
led to believe that the republican party of
today has left the principle Of right and
justice. The leaders of that party today
bear no similarity to the leaders of those
who preceded them. We demand today
the same protection we did under its or
ganization; do we get it? Invariably not.
At the present, men seek Office for plunder.
They spend our money and deprive
us of the rights that SO justly
belong to us. The producers of the
wealth of this great nation are be-
coming tenants under the grinding rule of
combines and the money power. Is it
in this bondage that our wives and child
rem shall be deprived Of such comforts of
life that they are SO justly entitled to? If
so. God pity us! But no; there is an other
party created whose platform is unques-
tionable, whose principals are right q
party that will strive to protect the rights
of the producers of this great common
wealth; party that will draw it's support
from the parties that have ruled SO long
that they have become monopolistic. Ring
rule will be obliged to succumb to the
combined efforts Of the working classes Of
this was-to-be free and happy nation. We
want q government for the people and by
the people and we now demand it. We
are freemen and knowing our rights, dare
maintain them. Shall the people rule?
1t is for them to solve and answer this
question. Combinations and trusts are
grinding the life out of the producing
classes, manufacturers are rolling in inn
mence wealth. Railroads are in flourish
ing condition, but the tillers of the soil,
who but few years ago were the possess
sors of their comfortable homes, are rapid.
ly becoming tenants. Why is this so?
There must certainly be something wrong
with this grand old republican govern
ment of ours. Oh, no, it is the Farmers;
they are getting to high toned, they live
beyond their MEANS they buy to much
that they might get along without.
Halt, there! we have lived upon that kind
of soup until we feel sickness in the
region of the stomach and are led to be-
lieve we have had an overdose but of late
we arc beginning to feel better. We are
uniting our efforts with party whose
principles are right and just and which
will grant special privileges to none. To
my republican and democratic friends l
say support the party that is willing to
allow YOU a fair remuneration for the
support of yourself and your families.
