Morgan Type of Horse

- ~ % - " ~
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 23--Because the
United States government. through the De-
partment of Agriculture, has been induced
to lend aid to the project of perpetuating
the Morgan type of horse. breeders inter-
ested in foreign stock have raised decided
objections. Though a great many horsemen
have criticised severely the means adopted
by DR.. D. E. Salmon. chief of the bureau
of animal Industry, In dealing with the
problem, on the other hand many of the
leading horse owners and horse breeders
commend the stand that he has taken.
With the Morgan, as well as the trotting-
bred carriage horses, DR.. Salmon has de-
cided it is said, to buy stallion and few
mares of approved blood and type for one
of the government stations. and there con-
duct the experiments in breeding. 1t has
been claimed that the plan adopted Is so
narrow IN its limitations as to be of little
Importance and. it Is feared, of little benefit
to the horse-breeding industry BY confin-
ing opera tions to the mating of a mere
handful of horses as DR. Salmon proposes
doing. 1t is claimed the experiments Will
be reduced to a narrow scope of an ndi-
vidual breeders experiences instead of be-
ing on a broad basis befitttng the undertake
ings of the United States government, as
they might be IL the appropriation available
were used in the purchase of stations to be
kept for free or nominal service to approved
mares in the herse-breeding section the de-
partment, of course, reserving the right TO
buy any colt or filly al a fixed price at a
certain age il wanted for government stud
purposes. By this course many more stall
lions would be saved from destruction by
the .enterprislng dealers, who are all the
time buying them up and using the knife
to convert them into fashionable carriage
horses for park and show-ring work. while
the number of foals produced under govern
ment supervision should be as 80 to |.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The announcement that Miss Jos
 ephine Cohan is to head the opening
 bill of the vaudeville season at the
 Jacques next week has created no end
 of favorable comment on Manager
 Polls progressiveness in securing the
 act over all the other var1ety managers
 who were biddfSg for it. Miss Cohan's
 name means much to those who know
 their vaudeville history and her return
 to the continuous houses while a dis
 tinct loss to the legitimate stage, on
 which she has been appearing for the past seven years, Is big boost for
 vaudeville. There is not a dancer on
 the American stage to-day whose indi-
 vidual grace and distinction compares with Miss Cohan's, and there are few v0calists who can make so much out of seemingly ordinary song as this same clever sister of the author and star of Little Johnnie Jones" The sketch in which Miss Cohan will be assisted by several capable players is called Friday the Thirteenth" and was written for her by Will Cressy,j the originator of most of the worth while sketches in demand for many seasons. Its action permits the intro ductfon of the singing and dancing without which Josephine Conan would be just an ordinary headliner. The features of the bill are espe- cially strong. "Naiada, the nynph of the air. leads them with a series of dances that for beauty of conception and layishness of setting are ineom- parable. Fred Niblo, the American hu- morist, whose monologues are always new and genuinely funny, the original Three Westons in splendid musical act, Rita Farnum in German dialect turn. Faron and Caron, eccentric aero bats: Murphy and Nichols, whose Irish specialties come from the Pacific coast with the most laudatory notices, and the ever reliable and interesting elec- trograph complete the program. Prices are 10, % and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

It has a capacity of 150 tons of ice day, and there are also two freezing tanks in which 15O additional tons can be stored. The natural air is taken in by two thirty horse power motors. and passes through series of coils and screens. In which water is constantly pumped at temperature of 32 degrees. Purified and dry, the air is then forced by large ventilating fans through ducts to the various parts of the auditorium. Exhaust fans take it through the roof, thus insnring constant circulation. The plant in full operation consumes daily 10000 gal Ions of brine, 2000 pounds Of am- monia and twelve tons of coal. The Hippodrome opened for the season on August 30.

BOTH PLEASURE AND PROFIT
How Minnesota Woman success- fully Handles a Large Num-
 Der of Hives.

'
 We have four apiaries in and arount
 the city, and two others in the north
 ern part of the state. We take car,
 of the four near by, ourselves, th,
 home yard being a queen rearing
 apiary, from which we supply the ou
 apiaries with queens and nuclei, wher
 needed. This apiary takes more timt
 than all the others combined. We win
 ter three apiaries in our house cellar
 bringing the bees home late in the fall
 In the spring we take out one apiary al
 a time, give the bees a chance to have
 a good fly, then take it to it's summer
 location. The second one we treat in
 the same maner, after which we set out
 our home apiary, which usually fills all
 available space on a city lot. But I
 must add right here that we keep nearly 100 colonies in the space between the house and shop.
 As soon as possible after having a good fly, each colony should be looked over and their condition noted, as some- times queens are lost during this first flight.
 Beekeeping is very fascinating pur- suit, as well as profitable one, writes Mrs. H. c. Acklin, in the Orange Judd Farmer. Every farmer should keep few bees, for the educating and eleyat- ing Influence they have on all who work with them, as well as to supply his own ta0ie with honey. And they should not be set down in an out-of-the-way cor ner and no attention paid to them. No one would expect profits from other stock treated in this way; nor can we get 1t from the bee. But. given a fair share of attention at proper times. we soon find the beehive a source of rev. enue. The bees never fail, when in proper condition, to store honey, pro- viding there Is nectar within their reach. Hard times make no difference to them.
 Mild favored extracted honey is very fine substitute for sugar. In ous family we use honey in a great many ways. Canned fruit sweetened with honey is delicious. Also. jams. mar malades and jellies. the latter having to be boiled few minutes longer than when made with sugar Cakes sweet ened with honey are rich in flavor and keep fresh several days. Caramels made from honey can be eaten with impunity. Honey vinegar is one of the best. if not the best vinegar made. It Is perfectly pure. just honey and water. and can be eaten without fear of injuring the stam- aeh- it will keep pickles. either plain or iweet. indefinitely. All the expense st- tached to honey vinegar Is little work. We wash our cappings. thereby putting them in better shape for the solar wax extractor. and use the water for vinegar.
