worn when she visits the city. And
here Il paradox is observed. While
blushing with shame at the thought
of showing her face, she cannot inn
aginc why she should conceal her
legs. The latter are usually exposed.
The women of the upper classes live
in strict seclusion. They are rot sup
posed to be seen or mentioned. They
are in the world, but not of it. To ask
an Egyptian gentleman about his
wife or wives. or to make any inquiry
concerning the health. well-being or
number of the ladies of his family. is
an objectionable breach of decorum.
Wives in Egypt's upper circles are
private property. The women can
not go beyond the limits of their own
side of tho house and garden.

Spring Forage Crops.

From Farmers Review: The eco
use of some forage crop to supplement
the clover or blue grass pasture. Such
variety should be used that will
come in very early in the spring be-
fore the common grasses, and one
that will extend farther into the late
fall and winter. For the early spring
and late fall forage, the Dwarf Essex
rape seems to be especially suited.
1t also answers fairly we'll for sum.
mer feeding. Cow peas have also
been proven to furnish most excel
lent food for swine during the sum.
mer months. Rape requires warm.
moist soil, rich in humus, and con.
tanning an abundance OF plant food
Old pasture lands, thoroughly par.
meated with vegetation roots are con.
sidered exceptionally good sol. for
rape. However, rape may be grown
to good advantage on any rich soil
when broken rather deep and then
made fine, firm and free from weeds
or grass.
Rape may be sown broadcast or
drilled in rows that permit the cult,
vator to be used later in the season.
The latter plan requires less seed
and, as a rule, produces great deal
more forage. For small, rich lots i,
is great deal more convenient to
sow broadcast and harrow the sect
in. The amount OF seed sown varies
from five to seven pounds. More
seed should be used as conditions are
more unfavorable. II sown in rows
from is to "a inches apart, two to four
pounds OF seed per acre is required,
planted about one inch deep; then
cultivated While the plants are small,
and Immediately after they have been
pastured or cut off, When broadcast
ed the seed should be we'll covered by
cross narrowing. When rape is pas,
tured do not turn on until the plant
is to s inches high. By means o:
hurdles confine the stock to definite
portions of the field; then after all
leaves have been eaten hurdle them
in new quarters, continuing this
process until the entire area has been
gone over. If cut and thrown to stock
as soling crop do not clip the stem
too close to the ground, but about 1
inches high. Then, as in pasturins.
go over the entire field cutting all the
plants. The part first cut will now
be ready to afford second crop ii
used for soiling purposes the rape
should be planted very near the ami
mails to be fed, as it is heavy and
troublesome to carry very far. \
great deal more forage is obtained
where the plants are in rows and So
harvested as to permit of shallow cul-
tivation every time after plants have
been cut down. Dwarf Essex rape is
especially helpful to the swine and
sheep growers. Hogs will eat it from
the start and no amount seems tG
hurt them. Sheep should be turnel
on to fresh rape gradually. and when
it is free from rain or dew; and
should remain but short time Con,
tinue this method until they become
accustomed to it. Good grass in the
same field with rape is most excellent
for sheep. If large field of rape is
sown and the stock turned into ii a
great deal OF the forage is tramp,cd
under foot and many parts of the
field will not be eaten down at all,
which permits the plants to become
old and tough. To get the best from
rape let fast growing and fast eating
be the motto.-W. B. Anderson

PcrcoIation of Soil Water.

We have all along believed that per.
collation. OF water was most rasi,
through sandy soil. Until recently a
test had not been made to determine
this definitely. 1t is. therefore, with
a good deal of interest and surprise
that we read of the results of the per
collation. tests carried on in California.
Sandy soil, loan and adobe soils were
placed in tubes. and the waite: al
lowed to percolate through from one
end OF each tube to the other The
eSperimenters confidently expected
to see the water in the tube contain
ing sandy soil complete it's journey
through the soil much more quickly
than either OF the others. Imagine
the surprise of the experimeutei's
when the percolation through the
sandy soil was slowest of all. 1t re
quired GO hours longer for the moist
ure to permeate this tube (40 inchesi
than it did the adobe. The only ex.
PLANTATION is that capillarity acted less
in the sandy soil because of the small
or amount Of what might be called
capillary surface. The finer the soil
the greater the amount OF space in il

sired. One OF the great drawbacks in
the use OF sub-rrigation systems has
been the slowness with which tho wa

sub-irrigation would prove cutie
feasible on loan soils.

fife Theatres.

II the New Yokr critics are to be be-
loved, another tremendous hit has been
scored at that home Of lily productItn M,
the broadway Theatre, New York. This
time it is that Incompatible artist,
FIRTH Schalf, in a bright new comic opera
called ''Babette''. The critics unan-
imous in the opinion that Miss Scheff is
the one real sensational success of the
season and declare with enthusiasm that
no such first night has been seen in New
York in many years.
The New York IIerUId said the morning
after the first production: The stlgc has
gained a real queen of comic opera in
FIFTH Schcff, WHO is low appearing at
the Broadway Theatre in 'B lbette".
Charles B. Dillingham; lured Miss Scheff
from the Metropolitan Opera House.
VII; re for three years she was the pet Of
tn patrons of grand opera, and installed
her at the head of a large company to
present a new romantic comic opera by
Victor Herbert and Harry b. Smith.
This opera "Babette" was presented in
New York for the first time OF MOnbay
night and made an instant triumph with
public and critics. The Sun said ''the at
fractions of "Babette' are many and
captivating" The world said FRITZ
S.hcff sang like n possessed" The
American said ''the audience arose to
their feet shouting braves, aud cheering"
The News said "Fritzi Schei'' and "Ba-
bette are destined to a long and prosper
Gus run,on Broadway.
Mr.. Dillingham; has surrounded Miss
Schef with a company of unique dis
tinctiop. Eugene Cowles, Richie Ling
Ida lIawley, Louis lIlcrisou, E. j, Con-
IL lily and Josephine Bartlett are some OF
til principals. In Il, the organization
numbers one hundred and fifty people.
The production is pronounced one OF the
most artistic of the season. All New
York is now talking of the nstantaneou
unprecedented triumph scored by FRITZ
