Incidents Of His Life Taken From
The Files Of The Herald and Made
Into a Play.
Messrs. Mckee Rankin and Archie
Gordin, looking around fora subject
for play few months ago, hit up.
on the idea OF gathering together the
sensational incidents OF Abraham
Lincoln's life and dramatizing them.
They could think OF no other Ameri-
can who would prove so good sub
ject, and the possibilities which they
saw in play written around his life
kept growing as the work progressed.
The play is now finished and arrange
ments have already been made for its
presentation in the West carly in the
fall. The action OF the play opens
January /, 1868, and closes with the
death OF John Wilkes Booth after he
had assassinated the President.
Speaking about the play the other
day Mr.. Gordon said that the incl
dents in Lincoln's life which were used
We're furnished by Arnold's History
OF Lincoln" Mr.. John Hays book,
and most OF all from the files OF the
Herald.
1--WE are indebted to the Herald
most OF all for Our Incidents" said
Mr. Gordon, ''and Mr.. Rankin and
myself found it n perfect phonogrnph
OF the time in which l.int oln was at
the head oi the government"
| An effort is mndein thepay to show
Lincoln in his duality as President N
the United States and the head oil the
White House iamily.
| The play is in five acts, the first end
ing with the signing OF the document
of emancipation, the second with the
conspiracy of John Wilkes Booth to
abduct the President, the third with
the failure of the plot, the fourth with
the assassination OF Lincoln and the
fifth with Booths death in the blazing
barn.
The characters shown, besides Presi-
dent Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth,
are Messrs. Seward, Stanton, Chase
Montgomery, Blair and Gideon Wells:
Mrs. Surratt, who was hung; Miss
Surratt, John Surratt, Ella Turner
and Mrs Lincoln.
The principal scene will be the as
sassination, and this will be worked
rs realistically as possible. There are
twenty 'y-seycn speaking characters in
all in the pIay, and it is proposed 10
have a force OF supernumeraries OF
over two hundred. One point TO be
aimed at in the play will be to show
the various celebrated people connect
ed with President l.incoln's admins
tration as they really We're and not
! make the characters mere dummies.
1t is quite possible that the play will
be seen in this city before the holidays.
Negotiations are now pending with
several well known actors. and the
managers OF the play mean to give it n
first class production. Mr.. L. J. Hen.
ley will probably he engaged to play
the part OF John Wilkes Booth. 1t
| has not been decided yet who will play
the part OF the martyr President.

Feeding skim Milk,

We heard so much of the failure in
raising calves on the centrifugal skim
milk, that we took occasion to inquire
into the reason. In nearly all eases
the unsuccessful feeder fed only twice
day, led it cold, and fed too much
of it. The secret OF the feeding value
OF sweet full milk is not the per cent
Of butter oil alone, but it is the digest
ibility, owing to the minute division
OF it all through the milk We should,
therefore, restore some other and
cheaper oil-say linseed ielly-and
stir il well into the kim-mik, which
should be heated to 9Oo, and feed at
least three tunes day. This is best
done through cali feeder, though we
have seen the simple device of putting
some straw in the milk to compel the
cali to drink slowly, and thot is all
that's wanted to make them thrive

The Lartigue Single-rail Railway.

1t is reported, says the Engineering
Nctcs, that single-rail railway, on
the Lartique system, is to be built
from Feurs to Parricsieres. The
line will be about 10! miles long. The
system consists of series Of A frames
resting on the ground and carrying
the rail upon the top. while guide
rails along the sides serve to steady
the train. The engine and cars
straddle the track, the latter having
longitudinal seats. the passengers sit
ting with their backs to the track. A
railway on this system, ten miles
long, has been in operation for some
time In Ireland. 1t is said that the
French government has sent COM
mission 10 Ireland to inspect this
line, with view to adopting the sys-
TEN for lines in the French colonies.
and that the engineer OF n railway in
India has also recently inspected 1t
with n view to adopting the system

at this hotel on my first trip met a

mate with only one goose, but such an
one is fit candidate Tor the spit.
The same writer contradicts the
statement that only about ten
goslinss can be raised from pair,
and mentions pair of prize Toulouse
geese that laid forty-eggs. from which
thirty aoslings were Matched. A
young Toulouse goose, Matched in the
spring OF $50, laid last spring twenty
eggs for her first litter and would
probably lay II second litter on being
deprived of The first one.
These Toulouse geese often attain a
surprising weight, rs high as sixty
pounds per pair, The standard weight
is foriy-eisht pounds per pair. The
white Erubden geese reach the same
standard. while other breeds. such as
Chinese, Egyptian and Canadian,
average about thirty pounds per pair.
Geese are very easy toraise, and are

ducers, and might be profitable on
many farms where now only few

UnderdrainaRe.

The question OF underdrainage is
one that the farmers OF the West are
beginning to study with considerable
interest. A great many are prevent
I'd from taking hold OF it by fear OF its
,rcat cost. A remark made by n
Racine County farmer in farm insti.
tute mt Union Grove, Wis. is pertin-
ent to this point. He said he had
fifteen miles OF tile drain on his
iarm and every rod OF it had been
paid for by the extra production OF
the farm in consequence OF under
drainage. Every farmer who has
land calling for drainage should make
u trial. Let him commence with a
small outlay at first. near the outlet
Of the ground. Watch the effect, and
II fnvorably impressed try u little
more next year, A great many never
make any trial whatever. They may
have lots OF sour, unproductive land,
but II stays so year after year. This
is not good business farming. Money
is never lost that is prudently invest
I'd in making the farm more product.

Every farmer understands the val
ue Of frequent stirring OF the soil in
the corn field. Tho value of this
practice, however, is greatly increased
in season OF drought. The reason
is that the top OF the soil by frequent
stirring is made to act the part OF a
sponge, and arrests the moisture that
is being constantly poured into the
air above.
We once made the following expert.
ment, to obtain an approximate idea
OF the amount of moisture thus drawn
of, and the hIndering effect on evap.
oration through constant stirring of
the surface soil.
During prolonged drought place
in n well Travelled highway was select
ed, where the fine dust was sey eral
inches deep. A large bell glass-a two
| quart Mason fruit jar will answer the
same purpose-was well chilled by
contact with ice, wiped perfectly dry
and placed mouth down on the dust
md covered with several thicknesses
Of white cotton cloth, After period
OF five minutes the cloth was removed
and it was found that sufficient mois-
ture had arisen from the dust, and
condensed on the cold glass, TO run
down its sides and form a wet ring in
the dust, quite plainly discernible
On the side OF the road was field
of corn which the owner had not cul-
| tiyated for more than week The
dry weather had formed multitude
Of fine cracks in the soil,
out of which moisture was pass
ing at n rapid rate. To deter
mine the difference in evaporation OF
the unstirred ground in the cornfeld
and the frequently stirred dust in the
road was fact that would be valua-
BILE to know. Accordingly we again
chilled the glass and placed it in the
cornfield in the same manner and for
alike period OF time ms in theroa dust
| The result showed to our satisfaction
that the moisture was pouring out OF
| the corniiell at least three times faster
| Than in the road.
Had the owner OF the corniield kept
the ground stirred lightly on top every
two or three days he would have ar
rested this wasting moisture and
thereby watered his corn very effect
| vely, besides destroying the noxious
weeds. 1t was worth to us all the
lime and trouble taken in the expert
nent to know this principle and learn
how thereafter to turn it to valuable
account in the cultivation ofcorn and
other crops.

Ashes for Hogs,

The Importance of feeding ashes to
hogs should not be overlooked. Many
farmers are obliged to feed corn in
large quantities, especially upon the
prairie farms, where hardwood ashes
are scarce or wholly unknown; yet it
is upon these very farms there is the
greatest need OF ash materials to aid
in building up the bone of hogs. Corn
cobs furnish u very strong ash, and
in the absence OF hard wood they
should be burned and the ashes care
fully saved and fed. Spread them
upon clean wood floor, and the
animals will help themselves.
