He appealed to the heart through the

no European actor has ever been more
cordially welcomed here, not only as

these qualities showed themselves In
everything he produced. Perhaps, in
deed, he will be longest remembered
not so much for what he did on the
stage as for what he did for the stage.
He increasingly maintained the highest
standards. He brought his artistic
feeling and appreciation to the prep
aration Of every play. 1t is not too
much to say that he revolutionized the
methods Of dramatic performance and
was the originator Of all that careful
ness Of DETAIL historic accuracy, and
beauty of setting which now charac-
terize representations. And with all
this he maintained the dignity of his
profession and gave to it new meaning
and strong defense whenever it was
assailed He was kindly gentleman,

ideas, loftily upheld. He ennobied his
calling more than it ennobled him.

ceased to be jealous of him. But now
as he looked at the inanimate marble
that marked the grave Of one from
whom he had taken all that made life
desirable, there rushed upon him a

beneficence of Immortality.

Follow Owner Like Puppies ard Go
Out on Daily Stro11s.
Hunting rattlesnakes for their skins
has furnished a new and hazardous
occupation for many men who reside
among the hills and rocky bluffs Of
the upper Missouri valley, where the
RATHER attains perfection as to size
and color. The snake must be taken
alive and decapitated before he has
an opportunity to strike himself, &C.
cording to the New York Herald, for
once the deadly poison is injected the
skin loses luster and value.
The price paid for perfect tanned
skins is about 81 each, and in addition
the oil obtained from the snake COM
mands a high price from its supposed
yalue as a cure for rheumatism and
kindred diseases. Each RATHER cap
tured alive means about $3.50 to the
hunter.
Among the most successful hunters
ia Alfred Johnson Of this place, who
possesses many large and beautlful
skins. His latest capture was nearly
seven feet long and carried nineteen
rattles. Mr. johnson has succeeded IN
demonstrating large number OF
voung rattlers. which allow him TO
handle them as he will and follow at
his call like well-trained puppies.
The idea occurred to Mr.. Johnson
that by obtaining small snakes anu
getting them accustomed to his pres
ence he could largely increase ms
nrofits and reduce the hazards OF MS
oocunation. Following out this rea-
son;no he has now a colony Of nearly
thirty rattlers. all of which seem to
hid him a welcome whenever he ap-
naars but they have no welcome for
strangers.
ON bright sunshiny afternoons Mt.

taking a stroll in the vicinity OF his
home and it is needless to add that

ripening Is not so evident. The PEI
culfar favor of spring butter which is
so much desired by the buttermaker
is not due to the development of tue
common Tactic bacteria. Butter rip
ened during the cold winter months
develops two species of Tactic bacteria
as abundantly and as quickly as does
that ripened in the spring, but the
favor does not make its appearance.
To what this spring flavor is owning
is not yet determined. Whether it
will prove to be due to the large
growth Of miscellaneous bacteria dur
ing the first few hours Of ripening, or
whether it is due to a difference in
the chemical nature of the cream re-
mains for further research to decide.

Sheep on a Small Farm.

Those who think they have no room
for sheep on a small farm should read
this interesting letter from an Indiana
farmer:
The small farmer who has from so
to 16O acres of land may keep with
profit small focks of sheep If they are
properly managed. Twenty-Five breed
ing ewes on 10O-acre farm where
general farming is done is about the
right number for best results. Elk
perience is q good teacher, so | here
give my experience in starting my
flock. T took of a neighbor, who had
sheep, twenty-three ewes, all good
grade Shropshires, and thorough
bred buck to keep on shares, Civ
ing one-half of wool and increase.
l took them on September
and kept them one year. At the
time the lambs were divided, the
wool and lambs were worth $222
at the market price. [ raised forty
lambs from the twentythree ewes.
My neighbor cleared about $500 on the
deal and had his ewes left. SO now my
advice to those who would start in the
sheep business would be to buy a few
good grade or thoroughbred ewes and
always a thoroughbred buck, no mat
ter what the breed, as this last is a
matter of fancy.

Grain on Clover Sod.


In an experiment conducted at the
Ontario College on four different oc-
casions, winter wheat grown on land
on which crop of green peas was
plowed under produced an average
yield of wheat per acre which was 22.l
per cent 1925 bushels) greater than
that produced on land on which a
crop of green buckwheat was plowed
under, and 1A.2 per cent AZ buShels)
greater than that which was grown
on land which was worked as bare
fallow, having been ploWed three times
during the summer. The results Of an
experiment conducted in the year 1900
show that the winter wheat which
was grown on red clover sod yielded
POT per cent greater than that which
was sown on timothy sod. Two years
results with commercial fertilizers
show that 100 pounds per acre of
nitrate Of soda increased the yield of
winter wheat 7.2 bushels at cost OF
about eighty cents per bushel. AS a
result of hundreds of inquiries we
learn that in Ontario about thirty
three per cent of the winter wheat Is
sown on pea ground, twenty-fve on
clover sod, eleven on barley ground,
ten on timothy sod, nine Oh summer
fallow and twelve on land following
potatoes, beans, oats, corn and roots.
Many tests conducted at Guelph in
dicate the Importance of sowing ninety
pounds of winter wheat per acre on
an average SOIL The amount might be
increased for poor land and decreased
for rich soil. If the land Is in a good
state of cultivation it matters but lit
tie whether the seed is sown broad
cast or with a tube drill, but Il the
land is dry or lumpy that which is
sown with the drill is likely to give
the best results. The highest yields
per acre have been obtained from
sowing between August &c and Sep

Make the Hens Pay.


ANY flock Of hens which is turning
in to it's owner less than 81 a hen
year profit ought to be carefully gone
over and the drones picked out; then
the owner should begin to study him
self and his methods of feeding In Or
der to ascertain where his weaknesses
are, for quite as much lies In the care
and treatment as in the individual hen.
1t is not intended to convey the idea
that one can make a dollar a year
profit from each hen and have enor-
nous fiocks, for it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that the larger the flock
the greater the expense attending, and
hence the smaller the profit. Make it
your business to watch your hens and
learn their individual needs.
The advice given by an old poultry
man that one try to furnish the same
plan Of feed for fowls in winter that
they find for themselves on the range
in the summer is we'll worth following.
Store away root crops and clover hay
to furnish the green food; feed mod
erately of green bone and animal meal
or meat scraps, to furnish the substi-
tute for the insects Of summer. Fur
nish the dust box, the grit and the
clean, dry quarters, and you will have
come pretty close to summer condi-
lions, and eggs will follow. If, under
this treatment, the returns are not up
to the mark, then it will be evident
that the trouble is with the fowls and
a new lot should be bought.
