out Saturday night at the opening of

ton of "Reginald's Crime" by the
celebrated Luis. Roncoroni company,
of Mexico. The play was in the Ital-
ian language and was little under
stood by the audience, and except for
the argument trans lated pto English,
was unintellgible and great deal of
the finest I assages, indeed, all except
those portrayiDg The passions,
were lost. Mr.. Roncoroni took the
title role with great success. He is q
fervent, conscientious actor, very
finished, but withal, natural, and
having full control of all the emotions
for the drama. His company ably
acquitted themselves and seconded
him and the applause was generous.
Last night LA Toscs" was the
play. and a good house greeted the
rise of the curtain. MIR. Roncoroni
and Miss Della Gusrdia were the
stars of the evening and divided
honors. Tonight the ever popular
Camille" will be produced.
The opera house looked cheerful
and bright and everything for the
comfort of the audience was provided
by Manager Mullaly. The corps Of
ushers was as follows:
Chief-A. f. Hebron; Assistants.

Fail Seeding.

Prairie Farmer.
Even with fall seeding of grass, the
time of sowing, the kind of seed and
the condition of the soil must be taken
into consideration in determining the
depth at which the seed should be
planted. Small, light seeds need but
little covering, while the larger and
heavier need to be covered deeper.
When there is plenty of moisture,
less covering is needed than when
the soil is dry, and more covering is
needed or can be given when the soil
ia warm than when cold. With all
seeds q certain amount of heat and
moisture is necessary to induce q good
eermin alton, and while it is often the
case that seed will remain in the soil
for a considerable length of time
without terminating, because the con-
ditions are unfavorable, yet later on
will start up and grow. In fact, in q
majority of cases it ia best to get
everything in readiness so that at
the proper time the seeding can be
pushed as rapidly as possible. With
all crops, if the best yield is secured,
it is necessary to secure good, even
stand, and while it is important to
have the seed distributed as
evenly as possible over the surface,
it is also necessary to sow under as
favorable conditions as possible, so
that the seed will germiante and
grow.
If the seed is covered too deep it is
often IL Q case that they will germi-
nate and the plants smother and die
before they reach the surface. This
is especially the case where the soil
is rough or cloddy or where a crust
forms over the surface, as it often does
after a hard rain. Again, If the soil
is not in good tIlth, plants die after
termination because the roots have
not been able to penetrate the soil
sufficiently to keep alive. With the
soil in good condition and sufficiently
moist to induce a good termination,
a very light covering is needed with
all kinds of grass seed in the fall. A
very light harrow or brush will read
lily cover sufficiently deep.
With wheat or rye the advantage
in using the drill is that the seed can
be covered at a more uniform depth
than is possible when sowu broadcast
by hand and covered with the harrow
or cultivator, and q better termination
as we'll as o thriftier start of growth
can be secured, while considerable
time will be saved in doing the work.
By working ahead so that everything
can be in readiness, and when the
conditions are most favorable the
seeding can be done as rapidly as
possible.
