VALUE OF SEEG dILK.
When Used IntenfgeIS g pr Feeding
Purposes High ht--rHs Result
from IIs Use.

Many farmers seem to be slow to
realize the value OF skim-milk for the
feeding of pigs and vther animals. 1t is
perhaps partly due to lack OF judg-
ment in regard to proper methods OF
feeding it, and to not feeding it in
the right conditien and quantity.
Hoard's Dairyman has been conduct
ing an Investigation among the
creamery patrons in New York, and
in this investigation they found
many farmers who estimated the
value of the skim-milk at only ten
cents hundred pounds. Possibly
in the way that some care for the
milk, this valuation would be high
enough; but there is no excuse what
ever for milk being handled in this
way. When it Is well handled any
man with average intelligence should
be able Co get very much higher
return for it's use. 1t brings the
greatest returns when used in con-
junction with grain foods where an
imals are old enough to eat the
grain.
H. B. Gurler. the noted Illinois
dairymau, made extended expert
ments to learn the value of cream
cry skim-milk, and he found that if
fed to shoats weighing 100 pounds, it
was worth 25 cents a hundred, when
pork is worth $3.50 per hundred live
weight
A Wisconsin dafryman obtained the
following returns for his skim-milk
fed to Guernsey grade heifer calves:
At ten months old the calves were
thrifty, but not fat, and were sold
for $40 each. He fed them 4,00C
pounds of skim-milk each, and tc
each a dollars worth of oats and
a dollars worth Of fax seed meal
He counted the calves worth two dol
| lars when a week old, for that was
what the calf buyers would pay him
Taking $4.O0 out of the $50 to pay
| for the infant calf, the oats and fa1
seed meal, he had SIG left to credit
Of the skim-milk.
| The labor of feeding and care
would be about the same whether hi
had fed it to calves or pigs. This
calculation would make the skim
milk worth 40 cents hundred. The
oats and fax seed meal were charged
to the calf at just what they were
worth in the market. All this wa
done with ordinary creamery skim
milk, but there was good calf sens
shown in feeding it. Thus we hav,
another proof of the money value O.
intelligence.
The man who persists in sending hi
milk to the creamery in filthy ant
half-sour condition, and when it re
turns feeds it to his calves in source
and partly decayed condition, need no
expect any such returns.

STAUNTON BALL PLAYER.

Virginia has contributed Bob" Fer

recent years not so many native Wiz

True Tannehill, Seybold, Chesbro, LIE

other Virginia league players have
gone into the National and American
leagues, but these with one exception,
W ere not originally Virginians. They
simply played ball in the State.
One native Virginian alone takes
stellar rank in modern baseball. That
is Dave Fultz, of Staunton, who wore
a Quaker outfit two years. and now
goes to New York. Dave is colleglan

awarded him foremost place in the
"back" position he played on the
Brown eleven.
''Dave still wears his coal black hair
long, his complexion is as sworthy as
ever, and no Indian was ever more
gracefully athletic in every respect t
than be, "said First Baseman Douglass

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sorrows,'
That may be complimentary but it would
seem to be rather hard on the woman. For
in plain terms it means that where things
are going well with the man his wife makes
them go better But when things are going
ill with him, he expects the wife to share
half his burden. And there's more truth
than poetry in this presention OF masculine
selfishness. Men don't appreciate the fact
that the strain of motherhood alone IS
burden bigger than all the loads that rest
upon male shoulders. They see the wife
grow thin, pale, nervous and worn without
thought that she lis over-burdened.

To Relieve a ChOked Cow.

A neighbor turned his cattle into an
orchard with fallen apples-a bad
place for cows. One COW became badly
choked with an apple. A neighbor
happened to have piece of rubber
hose. about three feet long, rather
stiff. We CREASED this with lard, held
the cows head up, and showed the
hose down her throat, pushing the
apple down into the stomach. A piece
of rubber hose is just the thing for this
purpose, being flexible and soft, yet
stiff enough for the purpose. Hogs
are better for the orchard than cows

The principal character of "a Ragged
Hero" the new melodrama which begins
half-week's engagement at the Park with
to-day's matinee, is "hobo," and the story
tells of his rise from poverty to competence.
Incidental to the redemption of this knight
of the road" the threads of q love story
are woven through the play. A number of
novel stage effects are introduced, notable
among which is the burning of farm
house. The play will probably prove good
attraction at the Park.
Arizona" one of the best of all Ameri-
can plays. promises to be a strong drawing
card at Englishs tomorrow and Saturday
nights and at Saturdays matinee. 1t has
scored a great success wherever presented
and is remembered by Indianapolis theater-
goers as one of the most interesting of last
seasons attractions at English's. There are
two companies now presenting Arizona"
on the road The one to be seen here Is the
No. organization which is now on Its way
to the Pacific coast.
The three Rio brothers, who are with the
burlesque show at the Empire this week, are
about the finest specimens of gymnasts ever
seen on a vaudeville stage. In gymnastic
or abrobatic troupes one strong man is
usually to be found who is capable of lifting
his associate performers as II they were
babies but all three of the Rios are giants
in strength, il not in stature. The smallest
of the trio seems to be just as powerful in
a muscular way as his brothers. Their act
is attracting unusual attention among the
amateur athletes and gymnasts of the city.
The Grand is enjoying big weeks busi-
ness. Saharets dancing is the best to be
seen in the vaudeville theater of America
to-day, and although her turn on the
stage is a very short one. it is wen worth
attention. She is not seen to special advan-
tage in vaudeville, however. AS her work
is solely for the purpose of pleasing the
eye, she requires a gorgeous stage setting
In keeping with her beautiful costumes
and a gorgeous stage setting is something
which is conspicuous by its absence in
most vaudeville theaters. Her dances seem
very much out of place in drawing room
setting'-her Spanish dance especially,
which should be performed amid all the
splendor and romantic environment of a
Castilian courtyard or lantern bedecked
ballroom of the Mardi Gras time. There
are several other acts on the Grands cur
rent bill that are interesting.

STATE FAIR ATTRACTIONS.


The executive committee of the State
Board of Agriculture held a meeting yes
terday afternoon and closed contract with
the Indianapolis Racing Association, where
by the racing association will give two
race meetings year for four years at the
State fair grounds track.
Members of the committee discussed at
fractions for the State fair next September.
and il was decided that Secretary Down.
ing should open negotiations with the own
ers of Dan Patch. Prince Alert and Dan
X. for big tnree-cornered match race
to be given during the week of the State
fair. All the members of the committee
declared that such a race would bring
thousands of Indiana peop.e TO the fair.
The horses named are the kings OF the
diana bred a match race would not only
attract Indiana people, but followers or
harness horses from all parts OF the coun-
try.
Such race would determine the pacing
championship and would also settle a long
disputed question between the. owners OF
the three kings of PAGERS TO Which horse
is entitled TO the honor of champion. Dan
Patch holds the best record, but the owners
of Prince Alert and Dan Il. claim that in
a match race their horses would stand
equal chance with Dan Patch. The
State board will offer a big purse for the
race and IL is believed the owners will ac-
cept. Mr.. Savage has been quoted that he
will use Dan Patch for exhibition miles
only the coming season, but IL is believed
that he can be induced to agree To a match
race, especially as the horses are all In
diana bred.

The Art of Dress.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A woman would often insure greater sue
cess by bestowing day or two In study
ing her gown and how to put it on and all
its accessories than in buying another and
very expensive one
She should give expression and individ-
uality to her dress. How much we asso-
ciate historical celebrities in our minds
with the garments they wore. We could
not imagine Queen Elizabeth in a sylph-
like chiffon of to-day; brocades and ruffies
were made for her, and she rendered them
a necessary part of her dignity. Nor could
Marie or Catherine de Medici be disasso-
ciated with the close ruffs and lace collars
and all the splendor and repose of the gar
ments they wore. Their raiment is almost
as much embalmed in our memories as
themselves.
All should know the colors that suit
them, but they must bear in mind that
what is becoming at seventeen may not
suit seven-and-twenty, and is very likely
to look grotesdue at seven-and-thfrty.
Many of the sex who, keeping in their
minds the ideal of youth, follow in the
same lines at forty-seven, for their pains
look nearer fifty-seven or even sixty
seven than younger.
1t is quite absurd to wear what is fash
ionabe but unbecoming. The first duty of
woman in dress is to look well, and it
does not come within her obligation to be
mere block for the display of her dress
makers inventions. The modistes. the
manufacturers and the tradesmen are re-
sponsible for the constant change of fash
ions in order to keep their business sue
cessful, but ii is no part of lady's duty
to devote herself to their encouragement.
Indeed, the best born of our sex, as a rule

which suit them, and change them only a
little as the time goes on.

Indianapolis is having its first view of
rThe Gay Lord Quex," which was pre-
scented at English's yesterday afternoon and
last night to audiences of moderate size.
This work of the famous English play
wright, Arthur Wing Pinero. was seen in
nearly every other city of any Importance
I'm the country last season. and it has been
written about and talked about to such an
extent that, while new to this city, il
seems as If an old story were being warmed
over for the benefit OF local theater-goers.
Purists have attacked it time and time
again with pens as sharp as Pineros own;
scholars. alive only to the mastery manner
I'm which this dramatist handles everything
he undertakes. have enthused over this
particular play on account OF the brilliancy
of it's lines: newspaper critics have dis
agreed. as newspaper critics always do, re-
gardng the play its purpose. its construc-
tion and everything else pertaining to its
creation and Interpretation. Pinero himself
has dubbed il "a comedy OF modern life in
London as he sees it" and has let il go at
that. He doesn't consider his play immoral
mot at all: some OF the people whom he
pictures i'm IL are immoral, he says. and he
thinks that characters on the stage should
be reflections of characters In real life.
Lord Quex and women like the Duchess OF
Strood are Frankensteins such as are only
TO be encountered in the fanciful writings
OF an author or playwright. They are real
enough. goodness knows, and IL seems alb
surd that any critics should ever have
called the play a distorted view OF human
ity. IL Is not distorted. unfortunately. but
it is decidedly disagreeable.
This Is the story that the play has TO tell:
Like most men who are themselves STEPPED

more expressive word in the English
