One of the things that the WagneriSts
objected to i'll the performances of der
Ring des Nibelungen' in New York, says
the Commercial Advertiser, was the color
Of Brunnhilde's horse, Crane. At the
Metropolitan brown, scrawny beast
was always used, ono Which no imagina-
ton could fashion into the fiery white
stecd Of the Valkyr. Two singers had
Cranes of their own. Materna and Frau
Vogl, the widow of the late Heinrich
Vogl. Frau Vogrs horse was much at
the tleater when she Was singing. Once
he broke up the first act of Tristan und
Isolde when his mistress was singing in
that opera by running across the seas
and ON to the deck Of the ship. The mu-
sic had to stop until she had time to take
him back to his stall.-Philadelphia

Growing Pun, pkins.

For many years we were accustomed
to grow pumpkins among the corn, as
was almost the universal custom when
We were a boy. We never quite decided
whether the pumpkins injured the corn

pumpkin seed dropped when the corn
was put in. but we preferred to 20 into
the field after, the corn was up. and with
the the finger push one plump seed down by
other row. thus havi ing the seed pointed
end downward, instead of lying fiat.
This gave us single vines about seven
feet apart, each way, and the vines
would not have ruiz much until the corn
had been given its last cultivation. But
if we lost some corn by growing the
pumpkins among it, which we were by
no means sure Of, we know that we had
lots of good feed for mich cows and for
those cattle that we were intending to
turn off for beef. Often yoke of old
oxen and one or two cows, or perhaps
young bull, got their first start in the fall
on the pumpk ins we cut UP for them,
ana the immature ears of corn we found
probably did, grow faster then than
after we changed them to corn meal to
finish them off, and make the beef more
solid. Hogs eat them and like them,
and so did the hens, and we never wor-
rled about the seeds doing any damage
TO either so long as the flesh of the
pumpkin was eaten with the seed. They
are also good for sheep. The pumpkin
is to some extent regaining it's old-time
popularity for pie purposes, as many
claim to prefer it to the squash Guess

Money in Corn and Hogs.

Twenty years on South Dakota farm

ence Of w. S. Jones, commonly called
Corn Jones' of Parker. Mr.. Jones is
naturally an enthusiast on the subject of
South Dakota, and tells the story Of his
own success since leaving Wisconsin in
1869 with much gusto. For year after
leaving his old state he wandered over
the Northwest, and finally made up his
mind that southeastern Dakota was the
most likely place to yield competence

weeds would grow so luxuriantly in so

cluson that the soil and climate would
produce corn.

earlier corn and raised Il good crop.
Since then have never failed to get a

had was thirty-ive bushels to the acre,
and have raised as high as eighty bush
