Theater, where the comedy was acted In
the metropolis, was crowded to the doors
during its three months run there, and 1t
is claimed that such laughter as this COM

members of the cast which Mr.. Frohman
has put into this comedy enter fully into

A corn and live stock judging school was

the farmers of the State should cooperate

select proper varities and types of corn for
that section.
A leading farmer near Odebolt, after
studying corn samples with Assistant Olin,

One outcome of the school was the forma-
ton of a State Corn Growers Association,
with George T. Forest, of Clinton county,
as president. The State will be divided into
nine districts, with clubs I'm each district,
and at the next corn-judging school each
club will compete in showing the best
corn. for which a trophy will be offered by
H. G. Wallace, of Des Moines, to be held
for year or until vanquished.
The first school of the kind was held
by Professor Holden at Champaign, H.,
in 1885, and the work has grown In impor-
lance since that time A similar school
will be held in Topeka, Kan, in Febru-
airy.
AT the same time there was carried on
a live stock Judging school, conducted by
Prof. c. F. Curtiss, ending with a slaugh-
ter test in charge of M. F. Mullins, fore
man of the slaughtering department of the
Agar Packing Company, of Des Moines.

his own in the dressing of cattle, his best
record being four minutes and five seconds.

Country Life In America.
The home garden is for the affections.
1t is for quality. Its size is wholly imma-
terial If only it have the best. l do not
mean the rarest or the costliest, but the
best-the best geranium or the best lilac.
Even the fruit garden and the vegetable
garden are also for the affections; one can
buy ordinary fruits and vegetables-it never
pays to grow them in the home garden.
When you want something superior YOU
must grow 1t or else buy 1t at an advanced
price directly from someone who grows
for quality and not quantity. If you want
the very choicest and the most personal
products almost necessarily you must grow
them; the value of these things cannot be
measured in money. The commercial gard
ener may grow what the market wants.
and the market wants chiefly what is cheap
and good-looking. The home gardener
should grow what the market cannot sup
ply, else the home garden is not worth the
while.

A Skirt for "FIatiron Corners"
New York Letter.

New York Letter.
If Paris dressmakers do not look sharp
the Flatiron building and it's windy vicin-
age are going to dominate the world of
style. The latest fashion note from that
haunt of curves is to the effect that a
new skirt has been devised which will
oppose an invulperable circumference to
all the envious winds of heaven.
The headquarters of the Dressmakers'
Protective Association of America, at ia
Fifth avenue, is directly across the street
from the frisky windjammer. The new
skirt is the invention of Miss Elizabeth
A. G. White, president of the dressmakers'
association. The new skirt is an ingeni-
Gus product of the protective association"
whose name now assumes a new signif-
canoe.
The skirt has at the bottom a wide
f1ounce that flares outward boldly, yet
gracefully, and gives to the skirt lily
like appearance. Inside the fiounce there
is band of haircloth about seven inches
wide. This does the trick. 1t does not add
perceptibly to the weight of the skirt, but
it holds the pesky thing down, like Column
bias fin keel.

One Solution Of Farm Help Problem.

One Solution of Farm Help Problem.
Orange Judd Farmer.
The number of men that are applying to
us for places on farms indicate that the
prime need is to bring together those who
want TO work and those who wish to hire
workers. That Is the purpose of Orange
Judd Farmers help bureau, further par
ticulars of which we hope to announce next
week.
1t would be a good idea to introduce this
spring, wherever possible, a labor fair and
open market for labor of both sexes, such
as has long been used in certain parts
of Great Britain. In this country, how
ever some improvements and additions
should be made. We present the following
suggestions for carrying out this idea, the
same TO be modified to suit the needs of
each locality:
Let the agricultural society. grange or
farmers club, or some simple organization
day for the affair. Fix the date as much
ahead as possible, prior 10 April /. Have
the fair at the county seat or at the most
convenient center. The committee or or
ganization in charge can secure donations
of money or merchandise from local mer-
chants for prizes, and the local press will
usually be glad TO give this novel scheme
wide publicity.
Announce that on the date fixed every
person of either sex and any age who wants
work Is invited to meet at the hall speci-
fed Also invite every who wishes
hire male or female help to attend this
open market for labor Offer prizes for
those who apply for work-for the latest
person, leanest, tallest, shortest, heaviest,
highest, handsomest, homeliest, best
dressed. worst dressed. most oddly dressed.
also prizes for those who have been long
est In any one position, etc. Devote an
hour or two 10 labor institute, with
short paper or talk from some prominent
employer of labor, also from some good
hired man, to be followed by lively dis
cussion. Where possible. mistress and
maid should participate in the institute.
Serve good temperance dinner at low
price, and wind up the affair with an en-
tertainment in the evening. Exhibits should
also be encouraged OF Implements seeds
and other seasonable supplies.
Where this proposition is worked up
with enthusiasm and judgment, IL will
arouse lots of interest, draw big crowds
enable many farmers and their families
to get competent help. and above all, will
teach employer and employe OF both sexes
many things they do not now know about
each others interests that will do them

Baby Beef.

Kansas Experiment Bulletin.
If the farmer will produce baby beef
he can fill his pasture to the full limit with
cows producing calves, and he will realize
on the calves twelve months from the date
of their birth. Capital is turned annually
instead of once in every three years The
farmers grain will produce from 50 to 100
per cent more pounds of baby beef than
IL will of beef from the mature steer, and
for the past three years the baby beef
animal has sold for as high prices per
hundred as has the average steer.
In producing baby beef the farmer can
market his heifer calves at the same price
as his steers. and will usually get more
for the twelve months-old heifer than he
would for the same animal IL kept until
maturity.
