BETWEEN ACTS.

81 mice WHEATLEY strolled to
IN the window and gaZed idly out.
This was strictly in accordance
with the instructions conveyed in the
little blue covered book of typewr1ting,
which read:
"And I will explain 1t all to you.
Gertrude walks to window R and
gazes idly out"
Considering that this was the 217th
time she had done this, the view from
the window had lost somewhat Of Its
novelty.
She knew, exactly what she would
see there. At her right would be
huge electric calcium pouring its green
rays upon her white dress. 1t had
been decided that green would be bet
ter than blue. The moon had been
green ever since the night when the
stage manager had arrived at this de-
clsion.
There were also a couple of stage
braces holding up the scenery, and
sometimes a couple Of stage hands IN
very dirty sleeves lent animation to
the view.
Though the men were absent and
Anntce was able to give her whole at
tention to the floor, on which some one
had chalked, II love you," in a clear
print.
She wondered idly who might have
done this. Some stage hand, probably
considering it good joke. Surely no
one would make such an open confess
Sion and expect to be taken seriously.
She was still wondering when she
heard the cue, which was her signal to
turn with a cry of horror to perceive
Lady Gwendolin PROSTATE upon the
noor, struck down by Hugh de Matt,
raVers, who in private life was a most
GnVillain-lke villain.
After that 1t was a busy time until
tne fall Of the curtain, when she mad
to run for the dressing-room for a
change to the third-act costume. She
gave the chalk marks no further
thought until the following evening.
There, again, were the eloquent
words neatly chalked for her inspec
uon' She was the only one required
10 use the window. She could not sup
pose that the message was meant FOL
any one else.
Gradually the legend began to annoy
ner. Every evening the same word
appeared, only to disappear before i
came time to make the change for th'
next act.
she complained to the stage man
ager, but that official could offer n,
PRACTICAL suggestion. He was certain

An important item In stock feeding
is regularity.
Long feet are frequently the cause
of lameness in horses.
1t is waste Of feed to give more
than an animal can digest.
The brood sow should have plenty
of nourishing food such as will cause
healthy growth without too much
fat.
Sheep, when being fattencd. should
have protection from wet and cold.
The sheep raiser who is not progress
siye cannot expect to attain perfection
in his calling.
Labor, even on the farm, is most eff.
foctive when directed by intelligence
and thought
Scarcity will not always govern
nr,ce The cost Of production has
something to do with it.
To injudicious feeding may be cred
tied a large amount Of the fatality
among hogs.
Columbia courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1902-1905, 1904-05-13

There is one thing that the man who
ia trying to raise big horses should
not overlOok-and that is plenty of
food for the colts A draft-bred colt
that has not enough to eat will not
make draft horse-he will be Il
chunk of some grade, not heavy
enough for draft horse. Some peo-
pie claim that draft colts will not re-
qulre any more feed than colts Of a
lighter breed. That Is an error. They
do require more, but not so much in
proportion to their size as does the
light horse. because they are Of a
quiet disposition and put more of their
feed Into growth and less into exer-
else or nervous fretting than the light
horse. But no big horse will be pro-
duced If the feed is lacking. Give the
colts enough to keep them growing,
and they will pay good price for all
they eat when the time comes to sell
them. At sale in Ohio last week
draft geldings coming years old sold
to feeders at $500 to 1885 head. When
feeders can afford to pay such prices
for horses to fatten for market there
is nothing wrong with the draft horse
business. But there were no stunted
colts in the bunch that sold for these
figures.
Columbia courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1902-1905, 1904-05-13
With all stock, food may be wasted

by giving too much or too little.
With all stock, there is no single
feed that possesses only good quail
ties.
Early pampering should be avoided
If mature and healthy development is
desired.
In breeding sow look for rather
short. stocky animals. close made, with
as little waste us possible.
One of the best ways to increase
the income from the farm is to raise
the value of what you have to sell.
In orchard planting select with a
view to good bearing. good quality,
good marketing and good keeping.
Variety of live stock on Il farm
quite as much as variety Of cropping
Is source of wealth accumulation in
the holding.

AIeXlieff Moves.

st. Petersburg, May 10. - Viceroy
Alexief has telegraphed to the emperor
announcing the transfer of his head
quarters to Hardin. 1t is expected that
General Kouratkin will remove to Muk
pen. The admiralty reports that Rear
Admiral Jeszens squadron is at Vladi-
vostok.
The Russian authorities are COM
pletely in the dark as to what is hap
pening in the territory occupied by the
enemy, except such news as comes
from the newspapers abroad and origi-
mating from japanese sources. The re-
ports of a japanese landing at Taku-
shan and the investment of Port Dalny
etc., while not confirmed here officially
are not denied.
The Novoe Vremay this morning is
rgeatly excited over tide action of the
Swedish authorities in mining the en-
trance of the harbor of Site, on the
island TO Cortland, in the Baltic sea,
demanding that the foreign office as
certain the cause, seemingly forgetting
that Site was occupied as a base by
the British fleet operating against St.
Petersburg at the time of the Crimean
war.
Viceroy Aleixeff refuses to receivde
any mroe foreign war correspondents.
The japanese consul at Gesan tele-
graphs that force of Russians, num-
Der unknown, accompanied by Man
churian mounted bandits, crossed the
Yalu far above Win, advanced south
east and occupied Chanjin, 100 miles
west of Songjin, May 5.

The use Of refrigerator eggs has be-
come so widespread as to cover a
greater part Of the habitable earth.
There has been great trade In can
ned eggs recently. Large quantities
of canned eggs are bought by confec-
TONERS, and they are also used in the
manufacture of linen. Several coun-
tries supply eggs for such purposes,
but the supply is not equal to the de-
mand. Large importations Of canned
eggs come from Russia, Germany and
Denmark. These usually arrive in
large packages and are packed in some
unknown preservative and are hermet-
ically sealed. The air is excluded in
some manner, as it will not do to heat
them as in canning fruit. as that
would destroy the value of the prod
uct. Science is still doing wonders
and we may be able to have full con
troll of the egg trade Of the whole
world in the near future. Great strides
have already been taken, but there is
room for more improvement.
