BiiOu Theater.

'The Belle of Richmond" opened to a good-sized audience yesterday after noon and proved to be a grand success. The story of the piece finds it's title in old Virginia and is staged with special scenery and effects. The production is four-act comedy drama. The story of the play is the old but ever interest ing one-love, honor and jealousy. Lawrence B. McGill and Miss Gertrude shipman, in the leading characters, proved a real treat. Both of these worthy players have splendid scope to display their ability and they certainly take advantage of it.
 "The Belle of Richmond" will be re- peated twice, daily during the week. Seats can be reserved in advance for the night shows. Box office open daily from 9:30 a. m.

Will 1t Paw?

We shall soon be face to face once
more with the question, "Will it pay to
buy commercial fertilizer?" A great
many farmers depend upon the pro-
duct of their own stables, and If that
will not "go around" they do without,
cropping their lands year after year
and making no returns for the benefits
they gain from their farms. This will
not always do. The end will come
sooner or later A writer in the Ohio
Farmer asks, "Is it not really selfish
to keep on taking out of the farm fer
tility which will make it poorer when
we pass it on to our boys and girls?
It seems to me SO! and for this rea-
son I am of the opinion that jul
dicious expenditure for first-class fer

Stock Notes.

The ideal SOW for a mother is the
one that is not lazy, but restful and
quiet in her disposition, still good
rustler.
Ancestry counts for much in select
ing breeding boars and sows. Indi-
yiduality, however, must not be lost
sight Of.
A very simple arrangement will fur
nish lots of comfort for hogs when
made into shade. Some pens are
like ovens.
There is no doubt but that some
good horses fail to bring good price
because they are not shown to good
advantage, and are not fitted for mar
ket.
Too much soft food is worse than
none at all. 1t is bad for the digestive
organs. If not, they will look shabby,
and have a mopy appearance. Grain
and grit are Indispensable.
Ticks are nuisance, and it is al
most impossible to keep them OH,
whether in the woods or on the prai-
RE. There are some direct treatments
which are effective. OF these, dipping
has proven the most successful.
The stock raiser who can find To-
cality adapted to his business, and ges
a foothold there, had better stay.
Every time he makes a move he loses
time, and often loses money, too.
The swine breeder who has not
thought about dipping has failed to
see one thing in hog raising that is
important There are many dips ad-
vertised in our columns from time to
time, all of which can be relied upon.

Selection of Fertilizers.

Fertilizers should be adapted to the
crops, if possible. Plants have the
power of selection of foods, and will
invariably select that which is best
suited for their purposes. A plant
that requires more potash than phos-
phoric acid will not use larger guam
tity of phosphoric acid because of it's
being plentiful in the soil, but will
make an effort to secure the potash;
for which reason it is always best to
endeavor to select the kinds which
will be favored by the particular crops
to which they are applied.

Barnyard manure is one Of the as
sets of the farmer, and it is a valuable
one. But the farmer seldom has
enough of it. If he will use both MAJ
nure and fertilizers he will have a
combination that will give him a sure
profit.

We have always preached the gospel
that in feeding cattle they must be
taken care of properly. Every ranch
should have. a long shed, protected
from the north and west winds. 1t is
the side drafts which hurt cattle.
Snow, wind and rain from the side of
the damage and cattle should be pro-
tected from this action of the ele-
ments. Feed lots should of course be
dry, with plenty of straw for the bed
ding. The best feeding corrals in this
country are on the side hills slipping
to the south.
