The audiences at Riyerton Park today
and tomorrow viii probably be the Iarg-
est of the week for the international
Vaudeville company has established the
reputation of being one of the best at
fractions of the season and the bad
weather of the past two days has inter.
fered with the visits of many amusement
lovers who are undoubtedly anxious
to avail themselves of the remaining op-
pOrtunities to enjoy their fine perfor-
nance. The Matus Royal Hungarian
orchestra is also a delightful feature OF
the entertainments and their tine con-
certs are anticipated by music lovers with
great pleasure. Next week the manage
ment announces another series OF great
vaudeville stars, the mere mention OF
whose names viii suffice to arouse an IN
usual interest The company is known
as America Greatest Vaudeville Stars
and Includes the premier character de-
lineators, Hines and Remington, in a
novel sketch entitled s'The Road Queen, .
the acrobatic marveIs the Judges, pre-
senting what is called ''The RisIey. -
the most sensational act on the stage in
that line; Dan Mason, the clever come
dian of the ''Why Smith Left Home
company, and De Veaux ana De Veaux,
the talented musical artists in connection
with several other star acts.
UNDERWOOD SPRING.
At Underwood the Fadettes will today
give new programme that has some in
teresting features. It Is popular in char
acter and all the selections have been
chosen with view Of pleasing those who
like good music of light and breezy
turn. The programme is as follows:
Maroh-Up the Street, Morse
Observation-Disclosures, from Der
serenade-D1et for Flute and sazo-
Misses Ball and Dunn.
Gems from The Bohemian Girl, Bale
Rag Melodies, arr. by Boyer
The Jolly Coppersmith, Peter
1t will be seen that the duet for flute
and saxaphone VIII be given today and
tomorrow. This is the selection that was
on the programme last week and had to
be omitted on account of an accident to
Miss Balls flute. The saxaphone is not
one of the regular instruments of the or
chestra, but Miss Dunn, the clarinet
player, is also well versed in the in
tricacies of the saxaphone. With good
weather there promises to be large crowds
at Underwood today and tomorrow.

skim MIX for Hogs.

Skim milk should always be used
when it is available, says a writer in
Blooded Stock. 1t is not only a good
flesh producer in itself, but it also
makes the ordinary grain feeds more
digestible and so adds greatly to their
value. While skim milk alone is rarely
profitable, from twenty to forty pounds
being required to make a pound of
meat, when mixed with grain in the
proportion of three pounds or less of
milk to each pound of grain its value
is greatly increased. In a test reported
by c. p. Goodrich n bushel of corn
produced ten pounds of pork, and n
hundred pounds of skim milk produced
nVe pounds of pork, when fed separate
~. When fed together, however, the
mixture produced eighteen pounds OF
meat, an increase of three pounds due
TO the mixing. In this case one hum
dred pounds of skim milk took the
place of 44.8 pounds of corn. II the
corr was worth twenty-five cents a
bushel, the milk was worth 1876 cents
per III hundred pounds; If the corn
was worth forty cents, the milk was
worth 31.4 cents. Extended tests in
the feeding of skim milk have been
made at the Utah station and are
these: THE hogs fed on the milk
and grain ration made much more
rapid gains than either those fed on
milk alone OF On grain alone. The
time required to make n hundred
n01ndC ne univ rryo caxrontu-nin duvC
Tor the hogs fed on milk and grain,
one hundred and sixteen days for those
Ted on grain alone, and one hundred
and forty-seven days when the feed
was milk alone.
The milk and grain lots required
2.58 pounds of digestible matter, the
milk fed lots, 2.85 pounds, and the
grain fed lots, 3.19 pounds to make one
pound of gain in live weight" In this
case n hundred pounds of skim milk
look the place of 1872 pounds of grain
IN the mixture. Work at other sta
n has demonstrated that when not
more than four pounds of skim milk Is
used with each pound of grain the milk
is worth from fifteen to thirty cents per
hundred pounds. The younger and
smaller the hogs the higher is the
value of milk. For full grown and
aged animals it is of less value. 1t
may be taken as a safe rule that it is
profitable to pay at least fifteen cents
per one hundred pounds of all the skim
milk needed to make four times the
weight of the grain fed, and where 1t
is impossible to secure enough for all
the hogs the available supply should
be given to those prs nearest the
weaving age and to sows sucking pigs.

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
tiyation of the Soil and Yields
Observation-Disclosures, viticulture and
Horticulture.


In discussing the matter of fertilizing
a village garden with an old gardener,
he highly recommended autumn leaves.
In he autumn of 1897, when the streets
were full Of fallen leaves, | made up
my mind to try them, says a contribu-
tor to Rural New Yorker. After a
good rain I hired a village cartman to
collect them for me, and dump them
IN a compact heap in a place in the
garden, where a wagon could enter
wlthout doing harm. He dumped eight
loads, charging me only 20 cents q
load Being gathered from the gut
ters, where they lay in heaps, having
drlfted thus in the rainstorm of the
previous day, it was an easy job, and
ne did 1t in a half day. In the spring
OF 1893 they were not sufficiently de-
composed to be desirable, n | left
them undisturbed. Last spring a single
handling made them as fine as could
be desired. In fact, this leaf mold was
worth to me three times its cost in
commercial fertilizer, for it supplied a
want which no commercial fertilizer
can supply-humus. / shall continue
n practice, adding annually a little
potash (muriate) or wood ashes to the
pile, the latter of which | get from an
open-grate wood fire, in spring and fall,
in our sitting room.
My old friend who so strongly rec
commended this had a garden in which
ne had been obliged to raise the soil
TO a proper level, and really good sur
race soil vas not to be had, SO he had
to use such as he could get, much of
1t being subsoil when he Gug the cellar
for the residence. He could furnish the
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid
from the dealers in those things, but
the indispensable vegetable humus he
had to look for ELSEWHERE, and he found
1t. 1t taxes two winters thoroughly to
0ecompose the leaves, but they are
worth the time and trouble it takes. |
nave begun arrangements for gathering
them this fall, and when frost comes
shall double the quantity gathered.
The present supply will be used in
making the garden next spring.
There is no place where leaves can
be thus collected so easily as in vii
lagos where shade trees are abundant,
and this qualification is growing year
by year, rs we are becoming better edu-
Gated in their beauties, but of course,
IN many rural places other than viii
lagos, they are to be a at a slightly
increased expense.
X. N.-Y.-The leaves will also be
found useful to the amateur gardener,
as they are to the florist, in his COM
post heap, to be used with potting soil.
The florist usually has what he terms
his rot-pile, where everything in the
way OF dead plants, leaves, and vege-
table rubbish is mixed with srent soil
from pots or benches. The soil wealth
ers under the influence OF sun and
frost, until, mixed WITH his humus, it
is again available.

horticultural Observations.

The sending to market of wormy
trult that has fallen from the trees
should be discontinued. This fruit is
Ut only for hogs and other stock, and
should be collected and so fed as soon
as 1t falls. This will destroy the worms
that are usually the cause of the fall
Ing. The good small grades of apples,
peaches and pears may be disposed Of
IN several ways, and should so be dis
posed of. If an e%vaporating factory
is mandy, the fruit can be taken there,
or in the absence of that, the old1
fashioned method of sun-drying can be
used. In sun-drying any of the fruits,
they should be protected from flies by
screens OF some sort. Another method
is canning, which needs no explanation.
II the fruit thus canned is to be
worked up in sufficient quantities to go
on the market, more than individual
efforts will be needed. 1t is probable
that canned fruits will be sold with
more difficulty in the future than in
the past owing to the wholesale use of
preservatives. 1t is possible that fruits
canned at home and free from all OBJ
~5ectionable ingredients could be sold in
the neighborhood at an advance over
what is paid for them in the market.
. = s.
The Utilization of all the fruit that
is now wasted would be a great boon
to the human race. A large per cent
OF cultivated fruit is lost and a still
larger percentage of that growing wild.
One man said, in the presence of the
writer: "Blackberries grow wild in my
nelghborhood in such quantities that
we do no cultivate the tame ones. We
pick and ship the wild ones till they
get too low to pay us a good profit,
and then we let the rest rot on the
vines" This mar was located more
tina 100 miles from Chicago, but on
a railroad, What happens in the local
tiles that are a long distance from rail-
roads? The writer has passed through
mountainous regions in the Middle and
Atlantic Seaboard states where the
olackberries were growing wild in
great p%rofusion over hundreds of
square miles, with no one to pick them.
more and more these wild supplies are
being utilized, but as yet only par
TALLY. What is needed is a more com
pIete system of utilization combined
with more commercial honesty. In
addition to the free b~ounties of nature
there is the immense supply of culti-
waited fruit, a large part of which is
lost by rotting. Theoretically cold
storage is the means of saving it, but
practically a very small percentage of
our fruits ever gets into cold storage.

Irrigation Lands Alkalized.

Maurice Watel, writing from Paris.
France, to Bradstreet,s. says:
I read in your journal hat the west
ern irrigated lands become alkalized
by over-irrigation. Really all lands
become alkalized by irrigation wher-
ever rain is scarce. In Egypt the same
thing occurs as in the western United
States, and people are obliged, from
time to time, to wash the soil. Dur
ing those years the fields to be washed
are not cultivated, and they are wa
tered very heavily. The water used
for washing is carried away toward
the Nile by drainage mean the wa
ter which has penetrated the vege-
table layer and exhausted the alkali
in the same. In one word, in a coun-
try of deserts the system of irrigation
always has as a counterpart a system
of drainage.
This system of drainage has the fol-
lowing object:
First-To permit the washing of the
soil when it is necessary. (Remedy).
Second-To carry away the water of
irrigation, which, after it penetrates
the vegetable layer, can take from the
subsoil the salts contained therein and
bring them to the surface by capillar-
ity. preventive measure.)

The time is coming when every farm
will be an experiment station. We
will then not have to depend on the
data gathered in a few situations in
each state, but will have thousands of
scientific experiments upon which to
base conclusions. The work of MAX
ing the farms experiment stations is
going on with ever increasing rapidity.
The number of students in our agri-
cultural colleges is increasing from
year to year and the future must see
a very much larger proportion going
back to the farms than in the past.
The application of science to our farms
means the saving of our farms, for it
will stop the exhaustion of the soils
and will turn the tide in the other di-
rection. The farms will be smaller,
and the farm population larger. We
have seen for many years a great
movement of the rural populations to-
wards the cities. The re-establishment
of the fertility of our farms and in
creased opportunities on them will at
least stop the tide that has been NOV
ing towards our cities. This will be
done in a very natural manner. The
profits of farming will be increased.
and thus more men will be glad to &C.
cupy farms and will be able to make
a living on smaller areas.
The size of a flock must be regulated

of violating the laws regulating the

packages of oleomargarine. The stat
ute prohibited the removal or deface-
ment OF marks or brands on the oleo-

A New Idea.-Do you or any of your
readers know that scme plants grown
in close proximity to some varieties of
fruits will impart their flavor to the
fruit? asks a contributor to Rural New
Yorker. l had {. melon vine run in a
small patch of peppermint, and the
melons had a decided peppermint
flavor. My neighbor had a gourd vine
which ran on a peach tree, and the
peaches had a disagreeable, gourd-like
taste. I have noticed while gathering
wild blackberries, that those which
grew close to the French mulberry "a
species of Callicarpa.-Eds.) had a ne
culiar fragrance which was quite an
Improvement over the others. I took the
hint, have planted this shrub amonp

berries which are far superior to anv
blackberry l have ever tasted.

It's up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
to gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the next
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored
in the outcry against thrusting aside
the safeguards of our fathers and rush
ing pell-mell into the affairs of Europe.
The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic
affairs dominated by gigantic Trusts.
The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth! They are the result of years
of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollarsl Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng
lands diplomacy in shaping the des-
tiny of our Republic is apparent to
any ordinary observer seeking the
true inwardness of events.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has fire..
quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '6I-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have a representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
'ook beyond their plausible decep.
IONS. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
,ombat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era OF
greatest good to greatest number.
