PICTURES A SUCCESS.
One OF the Finest Entertainments Yet Given
in Library Hail.

The manager of Library hall was
fortunate in securing Archie L. Shep-
ard showing pictures for last night and
tonight. A large audience attended
last evening and doubtless the hall
will be packed this evening, so satisfied
were those who saw this exhibition.
Probably a Bennington audience
has never before had the opportunity
to witness such an excellent aid var
led program in an entertainment of
this kind.
The reflections on the canvas are al
most free from the pickering which is
tiresome to the eyes and there is no
hesitation but something doing every
minute. Everyone should avail him
self of the chance TO see this exhibition.

"A friend of mine keeps hotel OK

and the last time saw him he had q
tale OF hard luck that made me pause
and consider.
He hid a good hotel and to clinch
this idea witH his patrons he put up q
sign "A weeks board free if you can
beat this hotel at dollar day.
"A chap came along and STAYED for
two days Then he left by way of the
window without paying his bill. He
was captured in the next town,
brought lack, and placed on trial be-
fore the justice of the peace.
"The justice heard the case and de
cided that the man was not guilty, as
he had certainly beaten the hotel for
two days entertainment. Then he
shooed the man out Of town and went
around 10 the hotel and collected the
weeks board for himself."-New York

Boss produces long, dark green

The flesh is solid, red and of the best

Black Eyed Susan is a southern va

firm and of extra quality; the seeds
white, with dark spots at the sprout

to buy out the steel trust at its wa

street mendicant at penny. His
works have been forged, garbled, edit
ed down to bare bones, rewritten, re-
pudiated. printed and reprinted, pub
Mshed and republished. Only the BIZ
BILE stands in front Of Shakespeare in
general circulation, and the good book
has the merit and advantage of being
forced down our throats, whereas

WHEN TO SOW CROPS.

Various Grains, Vegetables, ETC., May
BE Put In Late With Good Results.
BY H. M. COTTRELL Kansas Expert
ment Station.
COwpeaS may be SOwn as late as
Aug. 1, with a prospect of fair crop
if we do not have early frosts. List

half bushel per acre, sowing the Whip
poorwill variety.
If the season is favorable early am
Der sorghum or Kaffir corn sown broad
cast, one bushel per acre, will furnish
pasture if sown as late as Aug. 1.
Rape sown as late as Sept. ] will
furnish pasture for hogs. Sow dwarf
Essex rape five pounds per acre broad
cast or three pounds per acre drilled. It
will do to feed in six weeks after seed
ing. An acre will pasture ten to twen-
ty hogs, and as seed costs only 10 to 10
cents per pound the cost is light. Rape
is fair pasture for cattle, but some
dry feed must be given with it to pre-
vent securing. 1t takes a heavy frost
to kill rape.
Turnips should also be sown largely,
as the seed is cheap, and if crop is
secured the turnips will save a great
deal Of other feed needed for the cattle,
young stock and hogs.
We have not had success with late
sown millet, but il the fall should be
damp and cool millet would make a
fair crop.
Wheat, oats and rye will furnish a
large amount of pasture If the season
is favorable, and while these crops are
in good condition cattle will do well on
them without any other food than
straw. A farmer pastured his dairy
cows on oats and sold during the fall
81 worth of milk for each acre of oats
pastured, the cows having no other
feed.
Both cowpeas and second growth
alfalfa make good pasture in dry
weather; we would not dare to pasture
them when damp. If we needed it we
would pasture our soy beans and Kaffir
corn, feeling sure that more can be
got out Of these feeds green than dry.
Arsenate of Lead For Curcu1iO.
Many New York plum and cherry
growers have long desired a less la
borious method than the Earring
process for fighting curculio. Poison
sprays have been recommended and
tested for many years, and some think
they succeed in controlling the insect
in this way. Last season several
growers mEde thorough tests Of arse
nate Of lead, and the results were very
gratifying on both plums and cherries.
1t was used at about two pounds in
fifty gallons of water or bordeaux mix
ture and applied thoroughly two or
three times soon after the poisoning
period. Recent experiments in other
states show that this poison is more
effective than paris green and similar
poisons in fighting the codling moth.
Thus the indications are that arsenate
Of lead will come into more general
use.-M. V. Slingerland.
