Amusements

A company of barn stormers presented
what in slang phraseolsgy would be
termed rotten entertainment at Har.
per's theatre Saturday night. The Merry
Time" part OF the show was a butchery
OF popular airs and topical songs. The
boxing exhibition between Joe Goddard
and Billy Mayo was a scientific exhibi
ton with the science left out. Billy
Madden, the we'll known trainer who
superintendent the encounter, is a gentle
manly fellow and it delighted the sports
to see him. He WAS the best part of the
performance.
Tonight the Boston Howard Athe-
nseum vaudeville company will appear
at the Burtis as a New Years attraction
and will doubtless be witnessed by a

They Have Placed on the Market-An
Idea of the Business They Handle
New buildings, new homes, mean, as
rule, the movement of real estate. 1t is
not infrequently the case that the man
who is contemplating building, buys a lot
as exactly suitable as may be for the
structure he proposes to erect. To find
the site in keeping with his idea he seeks
the real estate agent, and in order to se>
cure the most desirable property he hunts
out the most wideawake real estate deal
er. The year 1892 as fully detailed else,
WHERE Was an exceedingly prosperous
and busy one in building operations.
Hence it was an active one in real
estate circles. Probably no one
agency realized this fact any more
than did the hustling firm Of
Reidy Bros, whose transactions during
the YER aggre gated 500. 900, and led
to the development of many well located
properties Through their energy and
enterprise the LYnde addition, the Mix
ter addition and the Schnell addition
were placed in position where the
seeker sfter home site could be accom-
nodsted at n asonable price.
Plenty of Lots for All.
The firm of Reidy Bros. has not only
accomplished much in bringing the
property nearer to the nome>seeker, but
these wideawake men have looked into
the future, 20 the extent of laying ~ q
stock of lots, so to speak. for those who
NAV emulate the wise example of those
who during the past year sought what is
mans castle-a home. The firm now
has on hard 100 lots to begin the season
with, many Of them admirably situated
for business sites
The firm also carries on a successful
money loaning and general fire insur-
ance business.

MIXED CROPS FOR FODDER.

For feeding horses and colts or
sheep, oats and peas grown together
is the best of all tho mixed fodder
crops. 1t Is as productive as the two
grown separately Oh twice the ground
Two aud half bushels of oats and
one and half of pears are sown to
one acre, and as the peas are not easily
covered by tho common harrow, il is
necessary to plow them in or cover
them by a culllvator with broad teeth,
or with an Acme harrow. Oats and
tares are of nearly as much value as
peas and oats, but the yield is not as
good. Millet, or Hungarian grass,
which is kind of millet, must be
grown alone, as they are hasty crop
and grow very quickly. Oats and
peas. oh the other hand, mature to-
gethcr. A good crop should make six
tons Of fodder, cut when in blossom,
or fifty bushels of mixed grain and
two or three tons of straw, which is
as good as timothy hay. For horses
or cows, or, in fact, for all kinds of
stock. the mixed grains may be ground
and fed with the cut straw to great
advantage. Tho best time to cut for
the fodder IS when the blossom Is half
gone and some of the peas are form

be allowed to ripen. n.-[New York

INDIAN CORN.

II Is quite common saying that
corn is king, aud so far ms the cereals
are concerned no exception can be
taken to this nppcllation. In this
country IL stands ut the head Of all
the grains for fattening animals, and
enters largely into tho diet of the hu-
man family. Strangely enough, as II
seems to us, for this latter purpose it
is as yet held IN small estimation In
Europe, and even crop failures to tho
point of destituton of their ordinary
food supply over large districts seem
insufficient to make =, a popular ar
tice of food as it is in this country.
Onr soil and climate arc so we'll
adapted to the growth of this grain
that our ability to produce 1t in vast
quantities seems only limited by the
demand for its use both at home and
abroad. While considerable has been
said about the excellence of pork where
other substances have entered largely
into tho fattcning process, 1t is never
theless true that no one of them, nor
indeed the whole combined, can be
used as u substitute for Indian corn in
the production Of pork on large and
profitable scale, as IL Is carried on in
the principal corn-growing states.
In this connection. the efforts Of the
Government, through a special agent
Of the Agricultural Department, to ac-
quaint the people of Germany with
the various methods in use with US for
preparing Indian corn for human food
cannot be other than interesting. So
long as Indian corn was used in Eu-
ropo exclusively as cattle feed its ex-
port from this country depended en-
tircly upon the abundance of the crop
and price which made II cheap for
that purpose only. Whenever from
any cause the price becamc high corn
exports practically ceased.
If we succeed In popularizing it as
an article of human food with the
mass of the people in other countries
we may reasonably expect to make
large exports in addition to the de-
inand of animal food.-[New York
