Drama of Loyalty.

Dramatic entertainments at Windsor
differ from those at Sandrlngham. All
the court ceremonials are enforced, and
the performance is one OF state. In
front of the stage, and screening the
orchestra, is superb bank of palms,
ferns and flowers. At 0 or 10 o'clock
the court enter the magnificent room
and take their places, the men In full
uniform and official dress. Soon af-
terward the orchestra plays the ma
tional anthem, the assembly stands,
the doors are thrown open, and, with
the announcement, "Their Majesties,"
the royal party enters. The court re-
mains standing until the King ana
Queen are seated in their armchairs
in the front row. The curtain then
promptly rises. At Windsor etiquette
forbids any enthusiastic demonstra-
ton on the part of the audience; ap-
plause and laughter must be well mod
ulated, and follow only in the wake or
the King.

Buying Cheap Feed.

The farmer who grows the bulk Of
the feed given his cows and grows 1t
intelligently, that is. with the single
idea in mind of obtaining a crop rich
in protein rather than n heavy crop
of something which has considerable
less feeding value, does not complain
that his dairy is running behind; nor
do we hear this complaint from the
man who buys his stock feed with the
who demands cheap food who is con-
stantly worrying over small returns
from the dairy.
There are large quantities of cheap
foods sold at from $40 to 500 a ton
that contain per centage of protein so
small that gluten meal, cottonseed
meal and other foods rich in protein
would be cheap at one-half more than
the highest market price at present
as compared with the cheap foods re-
ferred to. 1t is not easy to advise n
man how to feed his stock when, per-
haps, the amount of money he has to
use in buying feed is very small, but
a little thought will convince any one
that there is no more profit in feeding
six cows on cheap feed, which results
In n money crop only equal to that
which would come from feeding four
cows properly, than there is in put
ting the manure which is sufficient in
quantity for one acre on four. There
is a chance here for considerable
