Ans.-1. In order to keep turnips
well they should be housed in clean.
dry and unfrozen condition; this is OF
first Importance. The storage, wheth-
er it be root house or pit. should not
be closed up until there is danger OF
freezing the roots. They should not
be stored in very large bulk, as they
are liable to generate heat and cause
rotting A root house more than ten
feet wide should have a Slated venti'
lator running lengthwise of the house
along the floor and this should CON
meet with shaft leading to the open
air. In very cold spells care must be
taken to prevent the admission OF
frost, but in mild weather ventilators
both below and above should again be
opened The roots beneath windows
and traps should be fed out first, as
these spots contain more or less soil
mixed with the roots. To keep roots
we'll they should be kept as near the
freezing temperature as possible with.

9. Mature cattle may have from
thirty to forty pounds of ensilage
daily in addition to some other feed,
such as hay or good straw. Ensilage
even from well matured corn can not
be fed alone with satisfactory results.
This food alone is too heating and 1t
fails to supply the flesh forming part
# a ration. Fattening or milking
cattle receiving ensilage require such
additional foods as clover hay, bran,
Jats, peas and oilcake.

Not the least argument which shows
the help which the people Of the United
States have rendered the Filipinos is the
vast amount Of interesting and useful work
done by the Government laboratories in the
Philippines.
The demand for vaccine virus has been
vary great since the American occupation,
for until the advent Of the Americans no
systematic effort had ever been made to
vaccinate the people OF the islands, and
smallpox was always present. A large
number of calves were purchased for the
purpose of preparing the virus. nearly
every one has been properly Vacclnateo,
and smallpox cases re very rare;
A plague prophylactic has also been
supplied in sufficient quantities, and its
intelligent employment has reduced the
plague cases to such degree that the
Islands are now practically free from tme
dread disease.
The struggle waged against rinderpest.
which threatened all the draught animals

OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

Theron H. Page, who. while nurs- ing the sick was taken home crit1- cally ill last Sunday evening, died this morning at 2 o'clock. in his 63rd year, of Bright's disease. His health had been failing for some time past and since uraemic poisoning set in he had not been expected to recover, be- inp unconscious most of the time. MT Page was born in the, state of New York. Most of his life was devoted ito farming engagements. For the last ten years, however. his time was spent in nursing the sick. He moved to Oakville with his wife about five years ago. from Waterbury, to which place they came from Morris two years previously. The deceased leaves a wife and three children, Mrs Silas E. Stockman of East Morris,
 Mrs Everard Head of Waterbury and Albert Page of New York city; also a brother and a sister, several grand children and other relatives. MT Page was an estimable man and will no doubt be much regretted by his rela- tives and acquaintances. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at his late home and Monday morning the remains will be taken to Morris for interment.

 Edward Harrigan with many of the old favorites of his company in this same "Old Lavender" is the attraction offered at Polls tomorrow afternoon

 money and eminently good. "Old Lavender" "Rip Van Winkle'' and The Old Homestead" will live as long as the players live who have made the plays famous. They are |the essence of the pathos of comedy
 and rich in heart interest. Hence, this enga cement should be a very suc' Icessful one. Prices are 25 and 50 cents for the matinee, and at night 25, I25. 50. 75 cents and S1.

"BEN-HUR" COMING.

Klaw & Erlanger's remarkably sue cessful production of General Lew wallace's Ben HUT" will be present. Cd by the original company, headed by William Farnum, the brilliant young actor-athlete. in the title role, at Poli's theater in this city for three performances, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April IS, 19 and 20. This is unquestionably the most re- markable dramatic production ever made. This great play was first pre- sented at the Broadway theater ill New York in November, 1899, where 1t held the stage the entire season and several weeks of that following. Since that time 1t has been touring the principal cities of the country, making the longest runs and playing to the largest receipts on record.
 Ben -Hur" will be staged here ex- actly as presented at the Broadway theater in New York originally and during the past four years, with all the scenery, mechanical effects and costumes in their entirety. The chariot race. with Its wonderfully startling realism, will be staged in every detail. No change has been made in the presentation of Ben Hur" since its premiere. Not only has the standard of the company been maintained, but the organization has been twice supplied with an en- tirely new set of scenery and cos tunes, so that. notwithstanding 1t is nearly five years since the production was first made. it is to-day equal in every respect to the great merits it possessed during it's first season. All those who see the piece here can, therefore, expect first class per- formance in every way.
 The company numbers about 25O people. Twelve carefully trained horses and two camels are also car ried by the company. As "Ben-Hur' Is, in every way, the most finished and artistic dramatic production the American stage has ever seen. it's pre- sentation here cannot but attract un- usual attention.

LEW DOCKsT

The minstrel entertainment that New Dockstader and his company Twill present at Polls on Monday even- ling may well be regarded as the very 'perfection of minstrelsy. The stage
 betting for the first part is of great
 kna agnificence, the costuming through
 but is costly and elegant. Tn addition Pto the hosts of vocalists and comedi-
 ans, a complete operatic orchestra
 two military bands are carried.
 Taking it all in all, there seems to Ibe no doubt but that Lew Dockstader has fully carried out all that he has long claimed could be done in min- lstrelsy, but which, owing to conser- yatism and the old-time threadbare
 traditions, he has been prevented from
 doing until the present season. Prices
 are 25, 90, 75 cents, $1 and $150.
