people the management says:
The Orpheum is a new, modern and

class, and having ever in view the COM
fort and convenience Of patrons. The

the most modern and approved system
of electricity and much care and at

ventilation and the acoustic proper
ties of the Theater

enabled to assure the general public

a lifetime in the theatrical profession
and his experience and knowledge

THE CORN PLANT.
lt u Not Alone the Grnln Of the Corn Piant
that y valaahle-The Slower u
Worth Money.

The corn plant is very valuable,
worth almost - much rs the ear. The
corn plants absolutely wasted in this
country annually might be represented
by row Of II figures, with q dollar
mark on the left The silo is the ideal
place TO save all in the best possible
condition, but, comparatively speak
ing, there are very few siIos, aud the
great majority Of farmers have to make
the best Of it without the silo.
The corn should not be allowed 70
get too ripe before cutting, and par
ticularly it should not be frosted.
When the grains are fairly solid and
just about out of the doughy condi-
t ion, cutting should be pushed rapidly
The corn should be set upright on the
ground, not too thickly together, a.
fast n cut. and secured by tying, 20 it
can not fall or blow over.
The corn should be cut close to the
ground, as the feeding value Of the
part below the ear is worth more than
twice that above tie ear, and high
stubble on the field is q nuisance in
more ways than one. In a week or
two the corn has dried anu cured yery
nicely and assumed q rich bronze col
or. When husked it should be ham
died with care, 30 as not to lose SO
many leaves, and then thea in large
bundles or sheaves and again in san
upright position in large shocks. New
er allow it to lie down, as in that po-
sition it will deteriorate very rapidly
by fermentation, molding, teaching,
etc.
To have the stover in the finest aud
best feeding condition, it should be
stored in the barn or under shelter as
soon Is cured and dried in the shock.
In storing, the sheaves should beplaced
in an upright position, and there will
be no mould. II there is no room to

right in my house, and stood in the
doah and laughed Mt me, and drat my
hide if even the coons and 'possums
didn't chuckle over it fur months ar
terwards! I'm sayin' and contendin'
that bars are chock-full o. fun, and
I'm almost believin' that if they had
proper company fur six months you'd

Woman who Makes Graves.
In the town of Lewes, England, there
is lady who fills the Office of sex
ton. Everybody knows her, and until
recently she dug all the graves in
Lewes cemetery. Now, at the age Of
60, she contents herself with filing
them up and attending to the mounds
and flowers. Mrs. Steel-the name Of
the sextoness, il one can use such .
term-is healthy old lady, and she
has been heard to say that she will
never leave her post until it is her turn
to have aTgrave dug for her. May the
time be far distant! It is q wonderful
sight to witness the old lady use the
spade. The skill and energy she dis
plays would put many Of our gar
deners to shame. She throws the
earth into the grave with astonishing
vigor. and in the summer time many
watch her at work with
amused interest.

when l was sittin' on the steps and my
gun wasn't loaded he'd show up and
cock his eyes and put on a grin. He

then we lost him, and when night come

Orchard FertilIsing.

There is reason for believing that the
orchard needs fertilizing even more
than the ordinary field crops. A part
OF the fertilizing element of the latter
is returned to the soil each year. The
plant food that is taken up in the
orchard is taken away from the soil
forever. None is returned to it. 1t is
estimated that in . single season an
acre of apple trees will draw from the
soil 10 pounds of nitrogen. ~ pounds
of phosphoric acid and 70 pounds Of
potash. These must be returned or
