TzR OUTLOOK FOR DAIRYINO.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
The dairy outlook for 1898 10 more
encouraging than for RomSStnae past,
and those engaged In it may well enter
upon the season with moro than ordi
2arY confidence The reasons for the
present oh6sTtng prospect are due
mainly 70 the following facts:
Never before has this country had
more enthudaGtio men Rt the forefront
Of the dairy business These men are
not content to follow the beaten track
followed by those who have gone be-
fora, but are constantly reaching out
for new methods and better equipments
In every branch Of tbs great industry.
In nothing il the effect Of this en-
thusiam more apparent than in the
improvement Of dairy herds. This
country has never seen 20 many dRir

poor COWS in the pastures Of the dairy

where In the race they must bring their
herds nearer up to the standard set by
their moro successful nOighborg. There
is only one way 70 succeed at the pres
ent time, and that IL by bringing ones
herd up to the highest possible degree
of excellence and putting upon the
market an article which shall stand
the test at all times and under all Cir
CumgtanC0g.

FEEDING RARLY BRoILRRs.

In raising broilers the first thing to
learn is that q chicken Matched In an
incubator and raised in a brooder
house is q very different bird from an
old hens chick. There is as much diff
ference as there is between dollhouse
plants and hardy ones. Tt is very i'm
pOrtant that they be kept warm. Be
ware Of too much ventilation; a cold
draft will cause bowel trouble as quick
as improper food. Use top heat in
brooders. Keep the temperature as
nearly 100 degrees under the brooder
a. possible. When the nights r cold
place q board about six inches from
the brooder next the pen to prevent a
draft under the brooder. After the
chicks are brought out to the breeders
give no feed for thirty. six hours, and
don't allow them to go more than q
foot from the brooder. For the first
two weeks feed them cake made az
follows: two quarts coarse corr meal,
one quart middlings, one teacup ground
meat (be sure that there is no pork or
fish about it), n cup fine bone, wet
with q scant pint Of water. The secret
in making this cake is in not getting
too much water in it and in baking 1t
thoroughly in q quick oven. II too

ADJUSTMENTS.


Many people left English's Opera House
last night filled with a desire to preach
against the degeneraey of the stage. They
forgot all about the beautiful classic trag-
edy, THE Cat and the Cherub' with which
the performance opened, teemng with the
weird effects of modern art poster and
beautiful ia spite of the crude and incapable
work of the actors. They thought only OF

thronging the foyer and discussing her mer-
it's with enthusiasm. She suffered In the
comparisons with her artistic imitator

was packed to the doors with a mixture of

audience and hope to please it. Some

of the audience the audience was no doubt
disappointing to Held when she heard UNI

To some she was disappointment because
she was not nearly as wicked as they had

in all, she was Held, as billed. The Shout

much in motion, the rapid-fire eyes did
nobly and she wore her hair in the style
that many women, totally unfit for the
part, have initiated. The house didn't
really rise until she sang Wont You Come
and Play Wiz Me?" with the fat, bald and

Park-Wayne Stock company.

The Wayne Stock Company opened at the
Park yesterday for one week, presenting
Z. E. Roses strong comedy drama Jim, the
Westerner" with Mrs. Wayne in the char
acter of Mary Lawton, supported by Mr..
Wayne as James Enrol. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayne are capital in their characters, and
won the frequent applause of the audiences
yesterday. 1t is seldom during the season
that the Park has a company playing the
class of plays Of the Wayne repertoire, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wayne have always been
warm favortes with Park patrons, George
Taylor being entertaining in his monologue
specialties between the acts Jim, the
Westerner" was written by Edward L.
Rose, who dramatized 1.-The Prisoner of
Zenda." The character of Jim Enrol, taken
by Mr.. Wayne is strong, and while the title
of the play would lead one to think 1t was
purely Western in tone, the scenes are all
laid in New York city, the only Western
character being Enrol who comes East from
Nevada to see his friends and while there
runs across his old partner, whom he had
befriended in the West and who afterwards
robbed him. The plot hinges on the rise and
fall of gold mine called the San Diabole."
At the matinee to-day and tonight the COM
pany will again appear in Jim, the West
erner for the last times. Tomorrow they
will put on Frederick Bryton's great play.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-In obedience to
orders Maj. Gen. John ]. Coppinger, who
has been in command of the troops quar-
tered at Mobile, reported at army headquar-
tiers for duty to-day. He was accompanied
by the members of his staff, including As
sistant Adjutant General George Sand,
First Lieutenant j. X. Thompson, on special
duty, First Lieutenants Hutchinson and
Alexander w. Perry and Second Lieutenant
d. S. Stanley, aids. After exchanging greet
ings with the officials at headquarters Gen.
Coppinger took the oath of ofnce as major
general. President Mckinley and Secretary
Alger have about concluded their selection
for the commands of the seven army corps,
and they will be announced shortly. The
fact that General Coppinger was summoned
to Washington gives rise to the belief that
he will be consulted with regard to possible
early action concerning Cuba or the con-
centration of troops at Washington.
Captain Miley of General Skaters staff,
arrived in Washington this morning and at
once reported to the War Department He
bore important dispatches from General
Shafter to General Miles describing the ex
act situation of affairs at Tampa, its posi-
bilities as a port of embarkation for the
troops to be sent to Cuba and lot of other
very important strategical information.
General Miles was very much interested in
the report and spent some time in confer
ence with Captain Miley.
