When His Last Dollar" was played in
this city last season it was by no means the
play as 1t stands today. 1t was a racing
story without introducing the actual race.
But Mr.. Higgins author of the play. found
that there was popular demand to actual
ly see the race and not have it described
from the pool room. This necessitated the
entire change of the fourth act and the
Introduction of three trained running
horses. Experience also suggested other
and effective changes and alterations OF
which the play will have the benefit when
produced at the Academy Of Music next
week. AS the title of the play indicates
the story tells the incidents following the
risk of the last dollar of a successful mans
fortune, and the hopes and expectations OF
a young and lovable girl upon the winning
of a horse race by her horse. The race Is
the noted Futurity, with its fabulous stake
and its applause from multitude called

out of hot water. and thus in time obtain
a polish. They speak of clean air. in

fun and good humor.
The Japanese baby never cries! Think
of that, all you poor Woodworking men
and women of England who are kept
awake at night with babys cry! And,
above all, one must remember the love OF
beauty for its own sake that characterizes

showing such inborn taste. The little shop.

The merry "tra-la'' of the chorus which is
supposed to drive dull care away rippled in
sleefu abundance at the theaters this week.
Birds such were never known to natural
history disported themselves in Woodland,
on the stage of the Columbia Theater, with
a wealth of melody and richness of plum
age calculated to demonstrate that man can
excel his rival bipeds even on their own
ground. Mr.. Savage presents his attrac-
tons with liberality and discernment and

row contingent of a few years back cannot
fail to feel a certain affront in the relega-
ton of Ida Mulla to the. role of an unhand-
some parsonage with red nose. An idol OF
the front-row contingent, whose diminutlVe
yet piquant personality has won her the
homage of the front-row contingent, should
not be treated thus. The clever imitation OF
the raucous poll parrot might be forgiven,
but the red nose, never.
At the New National Theater the Rogers
Brothers who, since the dissolution of the
Weber & Fields partnership that provided
them with q model. stand almost alone in
their peculiar style of entertainment held
comic discourse of yore. The admirably
disciplined chorus executed picturesque gy-
ratons; the songsters warbled and the lead
er of the orchestra held the gallery Whistlers
with a baton that has lost none of its old
time authority. The Rogers Brothers are
about the only performers who have sue
ceeded in making the audience give one of
the best parts of the show. The audiences

German eccentrics may choose to go in their
wanderings their admirers will be ready to
follow.

Cause of the Increase.

This, in my opinion. Is the main reason
for the big increase in the desertion list

interior who come under the softly classif-
cation. believe that IL the desertion flg-
ures were TO be analysed and dissected 1t
would be found that an overwhelming per-
centage OF the deserters last year were fell
lows recruited IN the interior. II has been
my personal observation that they formed
by far the greater proportion of the de-
serters.

ing system is TO continue none of the coun-
try-bred recruits should be taken on as

this kind of a dairy. But if he will
test his cows, and weed out the ones
that ere making him no profit, and fill
their places with COWS that will pro-
duce 300 pounds annually he will soon
have a dairy that will be source of
profit and pleasure.
when we think of the comparative
value of COWS to be kept in the dairy
for a term of years, 1t is interesting
at least to note that the 200-pound
COWS leave one nothing, and the 300
pound COWS leave 100 pounds of but
ter for profit, which with a dairy OF
fifty COWS brings $1,000 clear money
for the years work. And 800 pounds
is not the limit by any means, as many
dairymen reach $50 pounds of butter
annually per COW, which means at
least $40 more added to the net profit,
and if one persists intelligently, the
400-pound mark can be reached, which
would leave the owner at least $40
per cow clear profit.
"The successful merchants and man
ufacturers do not let such opportu-
mites go unimproved; if they did, they
would be compelled to quit business.
Dairying is more confining than other
lines of farm work, and for that rea-
son alone it will always pay better
for a term of years than other lines,
as the farmer will not stay by the
COWS unless it does pay better"

How GurIer Practices Dairying.

One of the most successful dairymen
in the country is HI. B. Gurler of De
Kalb, ILL.,, who owns 200 cows and
sells their milk in Chicago for IL
cents a quart. For years Mr.. Gurler
has aimed at the loftiest ideals in
dairying and has been very particular
as to cleanliness in everything about
his dairy His cows have been Sc
lected for their quality as mixers and
Mr.. Gurler has made his land produce
the fullest measure of returns possible.
In a recent article Mr.. Gurler sets
forth some of his ideas and the stand
ard of work he follows with his dairy.
Says he:
"a young business man recently
said to me that he wished he had
farm; he said that farmers were put
ting much less thought into their work
than the business men were, and were
making more money I am sure this
is true, as a rule, and it is time we
were looking up the opportunities on
the farms, and especially on the dairy
farms.
"The Illinois experiment station has
learned that one cow can make two
and One-half times as much from the
same amount of feed as another cow
in the same herd that had the same
care. This shows the individuality
of cows, and the only way to learn
this is by the use of the scale and
the Babcock test. A person can learn
in very short time to operate this
test, and it makes the work very in
teresting.
"In my experience l find that cows
that will produce only 200 pounds of
butter annually will simply pay for
the feed and labor, and a man might
as well work by the month as to keep

must contain not only butter fat, but
that which develops bone, muscles,
nerve, hide, hair, etc., and the results
obtained from feeding a balanced ra-
ton corroborates the conclusions of
the chemists which demonstrate be-
yond the question of a doubt the ne
cessity of providing a balanced ration
for winter as nature provides in sum-
mer.

cannot be questioned, and this feature
of all food stuffs demands our con-
sideration, as it Is very improbable

Notwithstanding the advantages of
winter dairying, we would not advise
every farmer to practice it. Some men
would make larger profit from sum-
mer dairying. The man and the con-
ditions must be taken into consider
alton.
Mature always throws fewest OBJ
stacles in the way of those who con-
duct themselves in harmony with her,
consequently the man who has not
sufficient energy to surmount these
obstacles should stick to the old fash
Toned summer dairying, as nature will
care for her own, but if he has the
ability to duplicate nature, out of sea-
son, and make summer for his COWS
in winter he will be financially re-
warded for his ability and effort.
Hence it is easy to see that there is
place for both classes of dairymen.
summer dairymen as we'll as winter
dairymen. The question is not which
is the best method to follow. but the
first thing for man to do is to take
an inventory of his circumstances and
Of himself and then go into the class
to which he naturally belongs. Not
so much depends upon which is the
best class of dairying but more upon
a mans getting into the class to which
he belongs"

Improved Dairyinq.

Enterprising dairymen are improv-
ing their methods and putting out a
better product and the public is grad
ually becoming infOl med as to the
questions of public health. This may
be seen in laws in regard to splitting,
on tuberculosis treatment, plumbing
and in many other lines, and the dairy
man is not, as he sometimes thinks,
being singled out by the lawmakers.
Accordingly we see articles in print
in regard to these things, including
milk. We read that large number OF
children lose their lives because OF
poor milk or that some city's supply
is bad. Often these articles are false;
too often they are true. What is the
dairyman going to do? We cannot
afford to ignore such statements. We
must maintain good regulations for
milk, butter and cheese. The reason
for these criticisms must be removed.
