Experience Of a Farmer.

Ten years ago he placed a secret mark
on silver dollar. came to town and
spent it with merchant Before the
year was out he got the dollar back
again for poultry and spent it again with
another merchant. -Four times that dol
ar came home to him for poultry and
produce and three other times be heard
of it in the pockets 0 f his neighbors
within six years.
The last time he got il in change about
four years ago. he sent it to Chicago
mail order house that has arnassed hun
bred million dollars by selling third rate
goods and second rate prices. He has
not seen that marked dollar since and
never will until the crack of doom. That
dollar never will pay any more school or
road taxes for him. never help build up
the town or county, never bless and
brighten the homes of his nelghbors.
Moral Spend your dollars where you
will get chance at them again, where
they will help pay your taxes, build your
bridges, educate your children and en-
nance the value of your farms. Elk.

Pantomim~ Performances.

Most pantoinine characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1720. 1t was called "Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche, Harlequin. a Coun-
try Farmer. His Wife and Others"
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered,
chiefly because of the genius of the
famous Grimaldi, who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Girl
maldi first appeared at Sadlers Wells
theater, where be played the part of a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nin years. and at
the close of his career he took bene-
fit at Drury Lane theater. which real
ized nearly 5000. He also received f100
from the Drury Lane fund. This was
in June. 1928. He died in 1887 and was
buried in the churehyard of st. James
chapel, Pentonyille Hill.

BY THE WAY.

Farmers assert that the ore smelters
of Butte, Mont, throw into the air
five tons of sulphuric acid and half a
ton of arsenic each day, greatly to
the damage of crops.
The citrus fruit industry of Italy
has been for long time in a deplor-
able condition. Lemons that few
seasons past commanded $3.50 per
1000 on the trees, are now hard to
market at IS cents.
The state of Washington has the
most gigantic lumber resources in the
world. One acre of Washington
timber will furnish in its lumber as
many carloads of freight as 120 years
of wheat produce from a Dakota farm.
Certain vegetables, notably to-
matoes, cabbages, caulifiower, celery,
lettuce, and some others, need to be
started in cold frames and transplant
ed for the practical business of grow
ing. For this purpose there is
plant-setting machine, which will
handle a sprout as if it loved it, es-
tablish it in its new environment,
gather the earth tenderly about its
roots, give it a cOpious drink of water
from tank it carries, and cover from
four to six acres IL day.

FROST AND CONTINUED COOL
WEATHER CAUSES LOSS.
GOVERNMENT REPORT OUT
Growth of Corn is Retarded by the
Cold Weather and a Warm Spell is
Needed by Wisconsin Vegetation
Field Crops Totally Destroyed in
Limited Areas.

Crops throughout the state suffered
more severely from the frosts of last
week than the first reports indicated.
According to the crop bulletin issued
by the weather bureau yesterday, not
only is the corn crop in precarious
condition, but winter wheat and rye
also suffered to a considerable extent.
While the damage in some sections
may prove to be less than first ap-
peared, in some portions of the state,
particularly in the Wisconsin valley,
crops suffered severely. Field crops
were totally destroyed only in limited
areas, where the conditions were espe-
cially favorable to frost, but growth
was checked in all parts of the state
and recovery has been slow. The past
week has not been favorable, the bulse-
tin says, because of cool weather
Warm weather is needed, particularly
for corn.

tin says
Early paintings in exposed localities
frosts, and in few localities totally
destroyed. While on high ground es-
capped the frost, the cool weather has
retarded growth and the crop as a
whole presents very unpromising ap-
pearance at the present time. The
rains during the week were very bene-
fetal and with warm weather a large
percentage of the crop will recover
from the effects of the unfavorable
weather.
1t is not possible at the present time,
Director Wilson says, to estimate the
amount of damage done 10. winter
wheat and rye. Oats, barley and
spring wheat did not suffer from frost,
but the cool weather has retarded
growth.
Early planted potatoes were injured
by frosts in exposed localities and the
crop as whole is backward. Tobacco
did not suffer but strawberries, blue
berries and cranberries were badly
hurt.
