GRACE VAN srUDDIFoRD.

The appearance of Grace Van Stud afford as the star of Red Feather" this evening at Polls insures genuine treat for lovers of comic opera. The production has won New York approv- al during its run at the Lyric theater. New York, and the complete New York production is promised here. Red
 Feather is a daring female bandit, who is in reality the Countess Hilda Von Draga. The venturesorne young woman divides her time between reign ing as court beauty and robbing trav
 elers on the highway. She steals. that she may help the cause of the Prince
 of Romancia, who seeks to rule that
 mythical kingdom. In one of her esca- pades she robs Captain Trayers, of the
 Romancia army, and he vows to cap
 ture the bandit, who is believed to be a man. Both he and the prince love the countess and this leads to enmity
 between them. Travers insults the prince and is threatened with disgrace and expulsion from the army. Pardon is offered him on one condition, how
 eyer--that he arrest the notorious Red
 Feather within q certain time. This he determines to do, and tracks the
 robber to the countess's castle on the evening she is giving grand ball. To save him, whom she really loves rather than the prince. the countess declares
 herself to be Red Feather" just as the news comes of the success of the
 invading army. This plot has ro-
 mantle flavor that appears to be very
 attractive. yet the comedy interest has not been lost sight of. A really fine singing company. we are told, supports Miss Van Studdfford. which includes Cora Tracey, Louis Casavant, Benja-
 min McGahen and at least twenty oth
 CT principals. and a chorus of seventy which is said to be rnusically and in
 beauty the best that has appeared this
 season in New York. Prices are 25,
 90, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

BUTTER NOT TOO HIGH.

Some Of the produce papers are EVIL
IDENTIFY trying to make themselves be-
lieve that butter is too high. and that
spectators are paying too high a
price for the goods which they are
putting into cold storage. They are
citing as evidence the wonderful pas
lures and the increase in make over
last year. We do seem to be produc-
ing a little more creamery butter than
we did last year, but the indications
are that less dairy butter is being
made, and we should remember that
we have more people to feed than we
had last year, and that all are eating
moro butter and many are eating less
oleomargarine. Don't worry about over
production, but try TO avoid under
consumption. The fellows that milk
tho COWS don't think butter too high.
We are pretty well acquainted with
them. and mark our word, they don't
intend to work any cheaper until the
other fellows stop going on strikes
and putting up combinations. While
the customers are cutting down to
eight hours a day and marking up coal
and lumbo~ and corn binders, the COW
mixers must get at least twenty
cents where they formerly received
fifteen. or they are very apt to permit
the calves to do the milking.

LUMP JAW

This disease moro often affects cat
tie than other animals. 1t is due to a
fungus. sometimes called the ray fun
gus. The fungus occurs upon grass
and other vegetation and it is only
when it becomes introduced into the
tissues that It causes trouble. The
disease comes from eating and out
side sources and is not contagious in
the usual sense of the word. Several
animals may become affected while
on the same pasture, but this is due
10 all being exposed alike. Some years
the number of cases is greater than
others. owing to the greater develop
ment Of this fungus. The disease af-
fleets the jaw more often than other
parts. due to the fact that the tissues
arc sometimes broken in the act Of
chewing and thus permitting infec-
ton. Any part Of the body may be
attacked.

TIMOTHY THE HAY STANDARD

Timothy has become the most popu-
lar. tho best known and the most
profitable hay grass in the United
States. This popularity is due not
altogether 20 its superiority in nutri-
tive element. but largely to the fact
that it makes the standard hay Of
commerce, with which all other kinds
are compared. 1t is sold in all mar
kets of tho country, and its price Is
quoted in all the commercial journals.
In buying this hay one knows pre-
cisely what he is paying for. He
knows how much to feed and what re-
suits TO expect from 1t. 1t is graded
like cotton. tobacco and wheat. and it
is the only hay that is in general de-
mand. For this reason, more than for
any other, it is the most profitable.
because the sale of It is most certain
at the highest prices.

ORCHARD NOTES

Spraying is the keystone in success
full orchard management. After the
trees have been properly selected,
planted and grown, it depends then
upon whether the orchardist sprays
whether his work will be successful.
The Northwest as yet as had neither
the bitter rot nor San Jose scale, and
these two enemies are more than all
others combined to the fruit men of
the east and south. But we do have
apple scab and cooling moth, but they
may be controlled by systematic
spraying.
Top grating affords a method Of
growing the tender varieties that are
subject to root killing and sun scald.
Crabs are especially desirable for this
purpose. and the Whitney No. 20,
Briar's Sweet and Virginia have been
used very satisfactorily. Orchards in
which poor selections have been made
may be top worked and changed to
valuable varieties that will yield prof
liable crops for many years to come.
In the matter Of pruning, Eastern
methods are not applicable 10 our con-
ditions. On account Of the danger to
the trunks of sun scald, the trees
should be headed as low as possible.
While this is not as convenient for
cultivation as high heading. it pro-
tects trunks and makes the fruit
easier to gather. AS a rule it may be
said that our trees do not require as
much pruning as trees in the Eastern
and Southern states. Dead limbs
should always be removed, and where
the head Of the tree is growing too
compact part of it should BIO cut
out.
The matter of cultivation is always
one to be decided by local conditions.
Every orchard should be cultivated
the first three to five years of its life.
Some slow growing crop, such as pota-
toes, squashes. root crops or sweet
corn may be grown. and will pay for
the cost Of cultivation. After the crop
is harvested the ground should be
sown to a cover crop and for this pur-
pose q non-nitrogenous crop, such as
cats, rape, buckwheat or millet should
be used on the black prairie soil. On
ground of only medium fertility the
heterogeneous crops should be used, as
some of the clovers, peas or soy
beans. The cover crop will protect
the soil from washing and protect the
roots of the trees from freezing by
holding the snow on the ground, and
in tho spring will add humus to the
soil when plowed under.
Charlevoix county herald., 1904-08-13
THINNING THE FRUITS,

The timely and proper thinning of
the fruit on the orchard trees is a
matter which should receive far moro
attention than it does. The peach
men in Michigan, Delaware and Geor-
gia, and the orange and pruno men of
the Western coast are well up on the
Importance of this matter, but the
majority Of fruit raisers other than
these named pay little or no attention
to it. In any season when the apple
or plum tree sets very full Of fruit
and the same is not thinned out by
frost or insect or by natural means,
then the tree should be attended to.
Such crops Of fruit allowed to mature
arc always Of inferior quality and
understood and often unstable, while
the bearing OF such q crop is most
fearful drain upon the vitality Of the
tree. Man never interferes with the
operation of natural law with more
benefit to himself and his orchard
trees than when he thins out two
thirds OF any such crop Of fruit. 1t
must not be understood, however, that
this principle can properly be applied
10 large families of children.

GRAPE vINES-SUMMER PRUN-
ING AND BAGGING THE GRAPES.

Summer pruning is not practiced
to any great extent. yet where one de-
sires the best results from his vines
it is very important. The growth
should be controlled in the summer
in order that the strength of the vine
will not be wasted in making unneces-
sary growth. BY rubbing off the sur
plus shoots with the thumb and fin
ger as soon as they appear, and by
pinching back the canes after they
have formed four or five joints beyond
the last bunch of grapes, the whole
strength Of tho vine is forced to the
developing of the fruit and remaining
parts of the vine.
Summer pruning is especially i'm
portant while the frame of the vine is
being established, but will always
moro than pay for the trouble and
expense involved.
BAGGING GRAPES.
This is done to protect them from
the birds and fungus diseases and
also to prolong the ripening period.
The Concord will keep perfectly
sound in bags until late in October,
and the Norton's Virginia will keep in
perfect condition from three weeks to
a month longer.
We bagged many varieties of
grapes last year and find that some
varieties are benefited by bags more
than others. Birds are always moro
troublesome to black and red varieties
of grapes than they are TO the white.
This year we bagged about half OF
our Delawares, and fully ninety per
cent of those not bagged were destroy
ed by birds. while those in bags were
in perfect condition. The Ives, Con-
cord and Norton's Virginia that were
not bagged were also badly damaged
by birds, while the Perkins, Niagara
and Goethe were damaged very little.
Grapes planted in an orchard or near
trees and hedges are always damaged
moro by BIRDS than those planted off
to themselves. The bags are put over
the punches of grapes as soon as the
fruit is set or when the grapes are
the size Of small shot. Three pound
bags are used for the large bunch
varieties, such as the Concord and
Niagara, and two-pound bags are used
for the smaller bunch varieties, like
the Delaware.
The bag is slipped over the bunch
of grapes and the corners folded close
about the stem and pinned. Bagging
IS very simple and inexpensive, the
bags costing from sixty to seventy
cents per thousand, and the pins
about twenty cents per thousand.
A man or boy with a little expert
ence can Put on fifteen to eighteen
hundred bags in a day, so the total
cost of bagging a thousand punches
Of grapes would not exceed S1.30 The
grapes in bags ripen up more uniform
" and always present a much more
snowy appearance than those not
bagged. Bagging will always prevent
the grapes from rotting to some eX-
tent, but will not do away with the
necessity Of spraying when the vari'
ETY. bagged is subject to rot to n very
great extent.

Garden Song.

Forgive me, In that kissed your lips
Too tiercely or too soon:
It was the fault of the nightingale
Singing against the moon.
If Reason swerved in brief eclipse
The while / sinned my sin,
Opposed 20 Love, it must always fail
Since Love must always win.
The flowers rejoiced in that kiss of ours.
Even as they were fain
The great night moths should ravage
their hearts.
Seeking for golden gain:
Bringing them pollen from other flowers,
Set open through the night
TO play their motionless, mystic parts
In Natures marriage rite.
And who was I. to resist. Withstand
That charm Of fragrant gloom?
a summer night has a thousand powers
or scent and stars and bloom,
Forgive me, in that my Grant hand
Caressed your silken hair.
o. lay the blame on the Orange flowers,
You know how sweet they We're.

Sujtjnd a Customer.

ened. The next day they arrived and
Jones tried them on to find they were
bit too long.
He was sorry. he said to the sales
man, to cause so much trouble, but
those trousers were certainly too long
now.
The salesman was obliging and
promised to attend to the matter.
Jones left.
Now it so happened, through an
error, that the trousers had not been
altered in the first place, but were the
same length as when Jones pro.
rounced them too short. This the
salesman knew, and he smiled slightly
as he wrote an order to shorten the
trousers and pinned it to them.
But he did not send the garment to
the repair room. He merely kept the
pantaloons another day, and returned
them without alteration.
Jones found the order, tried them
on for the third time and pronounced
them absolutely correct.
This is funny world, isn't it?
