PLEASURES OF SOCIETY.

Prof DOoge's First Lecture at the Pitts
burg Club Theater-The May Musical
Festival Prospectus-Alumni Dinner of
Phillips Academy-Social Chatter of a
Day.
Prof NJ. L. D'Ooge, of the University of
Michigan, delivered the first OF series of
lectures on Greece, at the Pittsburg Club
Theater, last evening. There was a large
audience, every member of which listened
with rapt attention to the speaker. Prof.
D'Ooge is a fluent, entertaining lecturer,
and he impaired great deal of information
about a country that is too little understood
in the Uuited States.
The speaker showed that he was thor
oughly familiar with the history of Greece,
ancient and modern, and there was general
feeling, when he concluded, that 1t would
have been pleasant TO listen to him for an
other hour. He will resume the subject
at the same place in another lecture this
evening, bringing the series to a close on
Thursday.

HAGGARD AND EMAcIATED,
But Elmer Collins Is Yet Determined to
Eat Nothing Until Saturday.

But Elmer Collins LIS Yet Determined to
Eat Nothing Until Saturday.
When Elmer Collins, the faster, finished
his twenty-ffth day of abstinence from food,
at 10 o'clock last night, he appeared more
like ghost than living person. For the
first time since the fast began he complained
of being dizzy and exceedingly weak. He
is beginning to show the terrible strain,
and is haggard and emaciated. The doctors
in attendance, however, say that with a
good nights rest he will recuperate and
gain strength, notwithstanding his con-
tinued loss of flesh.
At noon yesterday Collins weighed III
pounds, a loss OF 81 pounds since the fast
commenced. During the day he drank 25
ounces of water, little more than his usual
amount, and if permitted to do SO would
have drank much more. He seems de-
termined, regardless of his critical condition,
to win the 81, 600, and the chances seem to
be slightly in his favor.

Points in Bee Keeping.

When all swarming is over with. lool:
the section cases over and Jump the filled
boxes to the outside and bring those

the filled cases on The strongest colonies.
Those slow about filing up had better
be kept in one case and new boxes added
by rows in the center. and gradually
tapered down until the close of the clover

As soon a. the clover season has passed,
all the honey remaining ON the hives
should come off and the broom frames
be examined. Wherever honey is found
in any quantity it should be uncapped.

to the hives whence they came. We
have found that it does not pay to leave
honey in the hives after clover fails 1t
is better to extract it and feed it back
when necessary, as the bees will do Just
as well, if not better, without it, for
they will make their own living during

they will use it for brood rearing out of
season and thus consume it needlessly
If needed for winter stores we have it

ENsILAeE VERSUS FIELD CURING.
Their Relative Merits as Reported by the
Pennsylvania Experiment station.

Their Relative Merits as Reported by the
Pennsylvania Experiment station.
In report of the Pennsylvania State
college agricultural experiment station
are given the results of extensive expert
ments in the relative merits of ensilage
VS.. field curing for Indian corn. In
these experiments a well managed silo
appears to preserve food with consider
ably less loss Of dry matter than occurs
in field curing under average conditions.
On an average of all available expert
ments there seems to be no material diff
ference in the digestibility of silage and
fodder from the same corn.
Under the head yield of Food Per
Acre" the bulletin says; The very moder-
ate crop of 1l.G tons per acre contained
4,351 pounds of digestible food. OF this
there were recovered in the silage 1890
pounds; in the fodder. 3.3SS pounds. a
good crop Of ensllage corn will furnish
in fodder or silage fully two tons of di-
gestible food per acre, or more than twice
as much as a hay crop. There is no
good reason for believing that a pound of
digestible matter in silage is any more
valuable than pound of digestible mat
ter in a well cured fodder With the
losses observed in this experiment the
cost per 100 pounds of digestible food Sc
cured is about the same III the two meth
DDS. The detailed account of the expert
ments concludes as follows:
Regarded simply as a source of food,
then. silage would appear to be. in most
cases, cheaper than field cured fodder.
The question of convenience, too, is an
important one. There are seasons in
which field cured fodder cannot be
housed during the fall without danger of
its spelling. Under eese circum stances
the use of field cured fodder involves
frequent trips to the field for the purpose
of hauling in the fodder. and further.
the frequent cutting Of the material. In
many cases the convenience of having
the material already cut and under roof
would of itself be Il very considerable
advantage on the side of the silage.
Furthermore, there is no question that
succulent food in winter has IA dietetic
value. as is illustrated in the case of
roots. Now. silage is Il relatively cheap
kind of succulent food, and it Is probable
that an addition of it to the daily ration
of mich cows is of benefit as an appe-
tier The considerations advanced seem
to show that. on the whole the more
economical method of utilizing the corn
corn crop is by ensilage, but either this
method or the careful utilization of the
cured fodder by cutting and Shedding
it is vastly preferable to a continuance
of the old system of winter feeding upon
nay and grain, or to the wasteful prac-
tees of throwing uncut fodder into the
barnyard To be eaten or trampled by the
cattle, or turning cattle into the stalk
fields to pick up such fodder as they can
secure there

SPOKANE, Oct. %. Especial. News
reached here tonight of atragedy at Little
Katherine's ranch. on the Coiviile Indian
reservation, near the mouth of Boundary
creek, last Tuesday afternoon, when Dun
can Travel. half-breed, was shot and in
stantly killed by James Brown, one of the
best known miners and prospectors in
that section. After the shooting Brown
started to Marcus to give himself
up, but was met by Indian police
men, to whom he surrendered and
was taken TO Marcus yesterday evening.
The killing was the outgrowth of feud of
several years standing, and Little Kather-
inc, who is a half-breed indian woman.
possessed of considerable property, is said
to be at the bottom of it. Brown says
Travel had threatened to shoot him, and
when they met accidentally at Little Kath-
crimes ranch he felt that his own life was
in danger, and he shot Travel dead with
his Winchester.
