such refuse that collect about their

near the ground it was three feet

the willow posts instead of being dead
were alive and had taken root and
were growing and that In their unto

barn. says the Glasgow Republican.
Last spring the barn was on stills nine
feet high. and he put In new floor

Many farmers believe in cooking
food for pigs some even going so far
as to cook all their food. The results
of numerous experiments show that
as a rule steaming or cooking food es
pecially coarse food, for cattle adds
nothing to its value Potatoes, howev-
er. cannot be fed to swine in any
quantity without cooking, and often
grains which are injured or damaged
in some way should first be cooked be

confused with cooking it. An occa-
sional feed of cooked food will be rel

soaking the food may make 1t more

Charles Frohman, the Napoleon Of

Of new plays, is beyond doubt the
greatest living manager of stage folk.
He either controls absolutely or is a
strong figure in the management of
nearly dozen theaters in Greater New

several Of the leading playhouses Of
London. He Is one of the principal
figures in the so called theatrical trust,
which dominates nearly all the leading

employs nearly a thousand actors and
managers on both sides Of the Atlantic,
and the annual receipts from his al
most innumerable enterprises amount
to millions of dollars.
