A TROUBLED CAR EER.
SPANISH OPERA COMPANY HAVING
ASTORMY TIME.
A Strike for Wages-New organiza-
ton and New Manager
Sang "Rusticana" With
out the Full Score.

The Castillo Spanish Opera
company has changed its name to
something else.
The members of the company
have not selected a new name but
think any other name would be far
sweeter than the Castillo part of
it.
From all accounts the COM
pany has not met with glowing
financial success even before they
made a break for the United
States, the mecca for impressarios
and prima donnas, and they freely
lay the blame on old Mr.. Castillo,
their manager, whom they are
very bitter against because they
can not get their salaries prompt.
ly.
Prof. Hector Gorjux, the musical
director, is especially bitter. He
says Castillo is no manager. He,
Gorjux, loaned him money to get
out of Mexico with the company
and altogether Mr.. Castillo is his
debtor $3.50 U. S. money. He threat
ems criminal proceedings against
Castillo. After the engagement at
the Grand opera house the COM
pany came out indebted to Mana
gers Walker & Rigsby for $3.50,
for which Mr.. Castillo pledged
some valuable mining shares.
The company went to Austin
and after their engagement there
Mr.. Kampmann assisted them
financially to settle some indebted
ness and brought them back to San
Antonio. They have paid their
board bill all right and Castillo
seems to be trying to do the right
thing by them if he was able to.
Tuesday night after the
first act of the musical opera
at the Jockey club theatre all the
members went on a strike for some
money, before they would resume
singing. Failing in this they de-
manded the resignation of Castillo,
which was given and then they
chose Mr.. Varga, the baritone, as
their manager and organized a
company among themselves and
resumed the opera.
Castillo owned all the score for
the "Cavalleria Rusticana" opera,
Carmen" and "Iron Ring" and
other operas, and when he was de-
posed, he took his property with
him. The company appeared last
night, however, in "Rusticana,"
but had only a borrowed piano
score for the orchestra, which
had been reinforced by Mic
Loveece, flute; and Franz Miller,
cornet, who are local musicians.
They sang the opera very sue
cessfully and all the audience
were very we'll pleased. The
promised presence of Senior Alma
viva and Miss Huarte was not
fulfilled, a telegram being re-
ceived saying they could not pos
sibly get in from Mexico until to-
night. Miss Huarte is said to own
the music Of 30 operas and carries
them with her in her trunk. So the
music question will be settled
when she arrives.
1t is learned today that Mr.. Cas-
tillo has telegraphed to friends in
the City Of Mexico for 81, 800, Next
can money, with which to settle
the debts Of the company, and it
is therefore taken for granted he
yet considers himself connected
with the organization.

and more thorough inspection would
frequently result in startling revela-

ungrateful proceeding; of other chick

COTTON-SEED MEAL.
A South Csrolinian Wants to Learn It's
Value as Hog Feed.


Value as Hog Feed.
have been thinking for long time
that would write something for the
inquiry department of your paper, as it
seems to me that if this was done more
generally by the farmers it might be
made the most profitable part of your
paper. So send you few inquiries,
as am very anxious to learn the value
of cotton-seed as stock food, in all its
forms.
1t has occurred to me of late years
that, perhaps, the south was wasting
annually millions of dollars by not
using all the cotton-seed made on the
plantations. In the first place to grow
and fatten stock for market and home
consumption.
have been very much pleased by
your efforts to teach the farmers of the
south how to raise hogs. / trust You
will continue this thing. 1t is one Of
the problems the south is bound to
solve. 1t have no doubt that when il
Is solved it will be seen that the south
can raise her own meat as cheaply as
the northwest, because we have SO
much better climate. The only reason
it is not done now is because our peo-
pie have not learned how. They must
be taught. The only plan has been to
raise hogs upon what they could find
in the forest and some corn, principal
ly, however, upon such food as they
could obtain in the forest.
The increase of population and stock,
and settlement of the country, with
destruction of the forests, have made
the old plan thing of the past; but
the great majority of our people have
not learned much beyond it. And corn
is too expensive a diet upon which to
grow hogs exclusively.-Cor. Southern

What wealth of forage plants is at

What a wealth of fallow plants too,
with which he may restore the wasted
fertility of his long abused soils and do

farmers have studied the subject
sufficiently to be able to recognize

nature offers to him for the combined
purpose of stock food and soil fer
tilizer. 1t is quite true that if he
would make full use even of the few
that he is familiar with he would suf-
Ter very little from his lack of knowl-
edge OF the scores of plants that are
adapted to his use. There are few
farmers who are ignorant of Bermuda,
crabgrass, lespedeza, sorghum and the
like with which alone they might
make stock raising an abundant sue
cess if they made proper use of them
along with their forage corn and field
peas. But there are dozens of others

and clover in such way as to keep up
series of alterations. One plant, or
several growing while others are in a
measure dormant, deferring their best
growth to another season. No two
plants, probably. are just alike in their
needs or demands upon the soil. One
plant will suffer from too much rain or
too much dry weather, when another
would be just suited. One is attacked
by insects where another escapes One

where time has had its opportunity to
prove most things relating to agricul-

or three plants, but use from six to
twenty different kinds, and such pas

more yearly than our best lands are
