THE ARTHUR HOFFMAN RECITAL.
In the evening. also at Mendelssohn Hall,
Arthur Hochman gave piano recital and
proved himself In, to be very able young
and his technique Is ample. Furthermore.
it Is evident in his playing that he does
not rely solely upon his technical equip
ment to carry him through but endeavors
to read some meaning into the compost
tions.
The Bach Chromatic Fantaisie and Fugue
with which he opened his programme
was played with remarkable clarity and
more than that, 1t was made to sound in
teresting. A Scarlatti Senate displayed
agility and accuracy Of skips and the fol-
brought the sentimental side Of the per-
former into play. Here his moderate and
careful use OF the pedal Is worthy Of COM
ment. The rest Of the programme was
devoted to Chopin. Schubert Liszt, Schar-
wenka and Hochman. The audience was
fairly large.
THE wETzLER ORCHESTRA CONCERT.
At Carnegie Hall in the evening" Hermann
Hans Wetzler conducted the second Of his
orchestral concerts here this season Fritz
kreisler was the soloist and played the
Beethoven Concerto and Tartinis Devils
Trill." With the finale OF the latter he did
stupendous things in technique Through
out both numbers was his playing clear
in intonation and emotional. The orches-
trail numbers were Smetana's Battered
Bride, Bach Suite In + fiat and the Meis-
tersinger' Prelude.
In the last number the conventional
tempt were disregarded and there were
heavy spots: but, on the other hand. the
several themes were brought out with
unusual distinctness. The Bach Suite Is
orchestrated by Wetzier and the scoring
is very effective indeed. The result. how
ever is neither Bach nor Wetzler, and 1t
seems a pale policy TO do such things. II
one can score as well as Wetzler does, why
not score original melodic ideasf The last
movement OF this suite was particularly
well played and had to be repeated In an
well filed.

The report of the Census Bureau

of potato culture in the United Stated
shows that North Carolina leads the
Union in the yield of sweet potatoes,
having IS, go acres planted in 1899,
which produced 5,781, 587 bushels,

more than North Carolina-whioh
yielded 5,O87, 674 bushels, valued at

Carolina can produce more sweet

but shat Georgia gets better paid for
her smaller quantity than North
Carolina for her big yield. That is

A THOUGHT FOB TIKI HUSBAND.

The following letter from a farm
ef's wife recently appeared in The
Housekeeper. We print it here
rather than on page 4 or page s be.
cause il is intended for no one save
the farmer himself, to whose atten-
ton we commend it:
I want to say a word in defense of
the women who live On farms. The
city world believes Is a rough, hard
working people but nowhere in the
world can be found a better GLASS of
women. We have plenty of hard
work, and not much time to give to
pleasure, but we do not wear our
lives out for society, nor in running
after people for whom wo do not
oare a straw. The shams of society
generally disgust one who Is accus-
toned to having real, true friends
for %peighbors. like TO visit, COCA
sionally, where / can have a real
good time. 1 love my home, flowers,
books, sewing, fancy work-yes, and
hard work on a farm as a general
thing, I think we all love our work.
We are not easily discouraged, and
if we happen TO make a failure in
anything one year, we work harder
the next to make a success of it.
Courage is needed, and 1 believe
farmers wives possess as much as
any other class of women in the
world. There is one thing that
some times makes life miserable for
Us, especially if we are sensitive and
notice little things-and it Is the lit
tie things of life that either make us
happy or miserable-it is the lack of
appreciation, the sympathetic word
which the hard-working farmer is
too prone to forget. He looks upon
a woman's work very much as if she
ere a machine, and seems to take it
for granted that she will go on as
we'll without commentator as with
it. 1 know how tired we get of this
sort of thing, for I have been a
farmers daughter, am a farmers
wife, am now keeping house at
home, and 1 have brothers. The
men all fall into the same habit, and
I have see the same neglect in other
homes where I.have visited. How
glad and happy it makes us to be ap-
preoiated We know how much we
do, and how much il would cost us
in a year to hire our work done, and
though we do not want pay, do not
mind the hard work, we do ask ap-
probation of our services. We do
not want TO always take it for granted
that we are loved; we prefer some
little expression of affection-some
thoughtful little act to prove that
our dear ones think of us occasion
ally.

the Farmers Co. cooperative Associa-
ton at Battle Creek, Mich, has just
been accomplished. The organiza-
ton is composed of some 5Ofarmors,
owning in the aggregate about TO-
900 acres of land. These men raise
only potatoes, cabbage, onions,
squashes and pickles and are called
truck gardeners. They have elected
a general manager and q salesman,
who will conduct negotiations for
thesale of their products to the COM
mission merchants in the big cities.
The merchants of the big towns
will be olassed under "good" and
''bad" headings and the market
watched SO as to keep the members
of the organization informed at all
times on prevailing prices. A large
storage building will be erected in
Battle Creek, to be used to store
produce when the raisers do not
think they should let their goods go.
By this means it is hoped that better
prices will be obtained, although. it
is understood that there will be no
effort made to exact unreasonable
prices from the commission men and
other buyers. The movement will
be furthered to include dairy and
creamery men in the States of the
Central West, it is said. These in.
terests now are subjected to most
unsatisfactory conditions, and they
hope TO get better results through
organization.-Chicago Dispatch.
