The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1902-02-20

"The reader may make up his mind
to be pleasantly overwhelmed by the
opulence and vivacity of "Around the
Pan, published by the Nutshell Pub
fishing company, 1869 Third avenue,
New York. The wonders begin with
the frontispiece picture of President
Mckinley, drawn in a single line be-
ginning at point on the cheek bone
and going round and round in a con-
stantly widening circle, with waver-
ings and downbearings of the pen in
the proper places to secure detachment
and shading. We are told that this
portrait SIS considered the most unique
work of its kind in the world" and if
there are degrees of uniqueness we are
willing to believe that this is most tie
the thing of which there are no dupli-
Gates. OF course there is text in addi-
tion to the pictures, and we should be
surprised indeed to hear from any pur-
chaser the opinion that he had not got
his moneys worth ($2 00)."

The Famous Georgia Minstrels

Negro minstrelsy has undergone
remarkable evolution in the past few
years. The Richards Il Pringle's ia
nous Georgia Minstrels that appears
at Jobe's Opera House Monday, Feb
ruary "a, is the most remarkable evil
dence of its many changer and stages
of perfection it has attained under the
wideawake management of American
brains, pluck, energy and capital.
Since the advent of this enterprising
firm in this line of entertainment new
Impetus has been given to it and today
it is one of the most popular forms of
amusement before the public. 1t clev-
erly caters to all tastes and ages and
carefully avoids giving offense to any.
The love of good, wholesome fun is
an attribute of the American tempera-
ment, and on these lines the Richards
& Pringle's big show is put together.
1t is language intoxicant from start
to finish. not one dull moment from
the rise to the fall of the curtain; each
act is different and no surfeit of any
one act. Not moment of mediocrity
in the whole bill of entertainment. The
acts are of high standard and EN-
brace singing, dancing, comedy, gym
nosts, aerialists and quartettes. A num-
bar of bright, original end-men furnish
n feast of fun with their own creative
wit, among lwhom are the following
we'll known comedians; Billy Ker-
sands, Clarence Powell, Dick Thomas,
Jas. Moore, Will Cooper, Charlie Fri
day and many others.

Give the COW all the food she can eat
at regular periods, and weigh the milk.
About two pounds of milk make one
quart. If preferred, the milk may he
measured. Compare the cost of the food
with the sum obtained for the milk, and
the value of the COW as producer can
then be estimated Test her also with
other cows, and if there is one or more of
the cows that do better than the others,
sell those that are lowest in the list and
fill their places with better ones. No
farmer who buys new cows will know
what they can produce until he has tested
them, but by selling off those that do not
produce as much as should be expected
in proportion to the food consumed the
herd will gradually be improved until
each COW will give two or three or more
quarts extra per day, the value of which
will be considerable if the herd is large
one.

The cost of producing pork depends
upon the kind of foods used. Expert
ments made demonstrate that by feeding
corn meal the cost of one pound of pork
was 4.3 cents, requiring 5.3 pounds of
meal. The same amount of shorts, cost
ing 81 cents, produced the same increase
and 3.3 pounds of meal and shorts gave
the same results. The cost also depends
upon the prices of the foods.
