. HITE wHITTLEsEY's

-HITE WHITTLESEY'S coming
A/ to Los Angeles means contin-
w ued activity in the local theat-
rical season for some time to come, al
though It is a period which Is generally
considered by the managers as stale,
fat and Improbable. The arrange
ments by which this star, assisted by
the principal members of his travelling
company and supported by the Belasco
stock company, is to present his series
of very interesting plays at the regu-
lar Belasco theater prices should prove
more than satisfactory. Nothing of a
higher class in the dramatic line has
been offered here this season.
Sheridan, or the Maid of Bath" in
which Whittlesey opens here tomorrow
evening, is a comedy of manners by
Paul M. Potter, who is responsible
among other things for the dramatiza-
tion of "Trilby." 1t is play founded
upon Incidents in the life of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan and presents such
characters of history as David Gar
rick, Michael Kelly, DR.. Lindley and his
daughter Betty, and Harris, who was
the manager of the Covent Garden
theater, London, at the time 1.-THE Ri
walls" was first produced. Dramatic Ii
cense has necessarily been used to con-
meet these personages of the time with
Sheridan's love story, but in the main
history has been followed pretty ac-
curately.
Sheridans comedies are admitted to
have been drawn from life and 1t is
easy to recognize Sheridan's charac-
ters in Potter's comedy. One who wit
nesses Sheridan" has but slight diff
ficulty in discovering that Lady Shut
tleworth Of the Whittlesey play is none
other than our dear old friend, Mrs.
Malaprop of 1.-The School for Scandal;
that Betty Lindley is only Lydia
Languish that Bob Acres lives again
as Michael Kelley; that Capt. Matthews
is Joseph Surface, and that Sheridan
himself is only another name for
Charles Surface.
The scenes of the play include the
pump room at Bath, the managers
room at Covent Garden theater and
Sheridan's London lodgings at Castle
tavern, where as spirited climax the
dashing young Irish playwright wins
wife by fighting a duel.
During his engagement here Whittle-
sey will also present Richard Harding
Davis Soldiers of Fortune" and "rhe
Lady of Lyons with Shakespearean
play in prospect.
\ Another dramatic event of immediate
Interest to theatergoers is the coming
of T. Daniel Frawley, who will play
iere this week in "Ranson's Folly"
Trawley is an old friend to the coast,
nd although "times change and people
change" rather quickly in California,
there will undoubtedly be host of
friends to welcome him on his debut
(ere. Since Los Angeles saw this actor
has been around the world and
here will be much curiosity as to how
is separation from the land of sun
hine and plenty has affected him and
is art.

The Trolley and the Farmer.

Whenever see trolley line pushing
out into the country it gives me pleas
ure, because ! can see advantages in it
coming not only to the farmer, but to
the business man in the city and village
as well. 1t helps to break down the
dividing line between city and country.
1t affords an admirable opportunity for
the city man of business to have home
out in the country where he can have
room for nice grounds, garden and
farm if he likes. 1t is well-known
fact that very many business men have
longing to own rural retreat, J"
which the trolley makes possible for
them to enjoy. To the farmer it affords
a quick trip to the city for business or
pleasure, leaving his team at home for
the pc rformance of necessary work, or
after the days work Is done 1t Is easy to
take the trolley into the city for evening
service at church, lecture or the
theatre.
The localities are numerous where the
trolley would be of great advantage to
the inhabitants and paying investment
to the capitalist. 1t is quite feasible to
build a trolley road where we might
never hope to see steam road.
Electric roads are of great benefit to
the town where they terminate, as we'll
as to the steam roads, acting as feeders
to them. All trolley lines across coun-
try, at least, should be allowed to carry
freight. As much as I am in favor OF
trolley roads in the country would on
no account be in favor of granting a
franchise allowing the trolley the use of
the middle of the highway. In the city
it may be all right to let them have the
middle of the street but out in the coun-
try it is a different matter.-F. II. Dow

Don't Make "Hot.house" Colts.

As winter sets in and searching wind
and cold causes stock to "hump their
backs" and shiver, there is tendency
among farmers to be over kind to their
colts and undeveloped horses. The
needs of colt and those Of fattening
lamb or pig are entirely different. In
the latter what is wanted is plenty OF
iuicy, tender meat and fat, but the re-
auirements in the colt are strong frame
work of bone and muscle and well-de-
veloped lungs and vital organs generally.
The colt that is confined with the COM
ing of winter in tight, warm, poorly
ventilated stable and fed largely on corn
or other carbOnaceous feeds will make
rapid growth in beefy qualities, pro-
viding he is not made sick by inaction
and poor air; but unlike France or Ger
many, horse-beef is not in demand
here.
Many a promising foal that has raced
the pastures at will during the summer
and become hardy and rugged gets
blow from which his constitution now
RECEIVERS through mistaken kindness
when winter comes, from too close con-
finement and improper feed. The wean-
ling, and in fact the yearling and 2-year-
old, unworked. should have opportunity
to fill his lungs with fresh air and stretch
and harden his muscles daily through
out the winter, except when an occasional
ice storm or blizzard would make run
ming out undesirable.
The colt should have dry place to
sleep, we'll protected from draughtS,
and plenty of oats and clean bright hay
and pure water in abundance; with these
and the daily exercise, he will make
steady growth, strong bone, tough liga-
ments and hard muscles that will not
easily permit of his getting unsOund, as
is the case with the soft flabby growth
of the hot-house type. From the ranks
of colts that are closely confined
throughout the winter, largely come the
numerous unsound horses. When liber-
ated in the spring their desire for activity
is almost a madness, and their unused
muscles, bones and weakened vital
organs are poorly fitted for the strain
suddenly brought to bear upon them.
The secret of growing horses profit
ably is to allow of no stunting of the
foal at weaving time, then by generous
feeding of suitable food, including an
occasional bran mash, or feed of roots or
apples to keep the digestion strong and
the blood cool, there need be no check
in growth until maturity is reached.
Colts grown in this way with good blood
in their veins make the horses that have
the stamina, courage and style-the
qualities that count when marketed and
later for continued service.-Maine

-Distillers' Grains as Feed.
THEIR INTRODUCTION IN THE RATION
INCREASED THE FLOW, AT INCREAs-
ED COST.

Dried distillers' grains, which are a
residue from the manufacture of spirits
OF whiskey, are being freely offered in
the Pennsylvania feed market under
various proprietary names. These grains
contain about 3l.5 per cent of total pro-
teiue, and are offered especially to dairy
men as source of this ingredient.
Experiments at this station have
shown that the grains rank we'll with
other feeds as regards digestibility. OF
their proteine, about 70 per cent was
found to be digestible, thus making the
percentage of digestible proteine in the
neighbOrhOod Of %.
Feeding experiments with dairy cows
have also been made to test the value
of the grains for milk production. Two
uniform lots of six COWS each were
selected. One of these lots was fed a
good dairy ration, consisting of hay,
silage, cornmeal and cottOnseed meal,
for twelve weeks. The other lot receiv-
ed the same ration for the first and last
four weeks, but in the middle four
weeks five and one-half pounds day of
dried distillers' grains we're substituted
for two and one. half pounds of cornmeal
and three pounds of cOttonseed meal.
On this changed ration the six cows
showed decided increase in their milk
production, while the other lot, on the
unchanged ration, fell off little. In
particular it was found that the distill-
ers' grains had a marked effect upon
the richness of the milk, increasing its
fat content very noticeably. This effect
is probably due to the somewhat high
percentage of fat contained in the
grains.
With the prices prevailing at the time
of this experiment, viz, cornmeal Sl8 a
ton, cottonseed meal S2S and dried dis
tillers' grains $3.50, the feeding cost of
a pound of milk was somewhat increas-
ed by the use of the distillers' grains.
II, however, the milk was to be used for
butter making, or was sold on the basis
of it's fat test, the extra amount of fat
produced on the distillers' grains ration
would about balance the extra cost.
With higher prices ruling for cornmeal,
the difference in cost of the two rations
would be reduced somewhat.-Cor. in

They hurried out Of the door and
through tie yard, passed the lily pond,
where the frogs had long since ad-
journed their concert and gone to bed,
lodged through the yard of the tightly
shuttered summer hotel and came out
at the corner Of the road, having saved
some distance by the short cut.

"HOWd UOit git acquainted cth herr"
bell had ceased to ring, and the shouts
Of the crowd ut the fire sounded faint
ly. There were 10 other sounds.
Up the driveway Captain Fri hur-
ried. There were no lights In the lower
part of the house, and the dining room
door was locked. The kitchen door.
however, was not fastened, and the
captain opened it and entered. Shut
ting it carefully behind him. he CROPPED
along to the entrance Of the next room.
John" he called softly. There was
no answer, and the house was per-
fectly still save for the ticking OF the
big clock. Captain Fri scratched q
match, and by its light climbed the
stairs. His friends room was empty.
The lamp was burning on the bureau,
and 4 Bible was open beside it. The
bed had not been slept in.
Thoroughly alarmed now, the cap
tain, lamp In hand, went through one
rooru after the other. John Baxter was
not ut home, and he was not with the
crowd ut the fire. Where was he?
There was, of course, chance that his
friend had passed him on the way or
that he had been ut the fire, after all,
but this did not seem possible. How
ever, there was nothing to do but 80
back, and this time the captain took

The Baxter house was on the shore
road, and the billiard room and post
office were OH the main road. People
in a hurry sometimes avoided the cor
ner by climbing the fence opposite the
Baxter gate, going through the Dawes
pasture and over the little hill back OF
the livery stable and coming out In the
rear of the postotiice and close to the
saloon.
Captain Fri, worried, afraid to think
Of the fire and its cause and only anx-
ious to ascertain where his friend was
and what he had been doing that night,
trotted through the pasture and over
the hill. Just as he came to the bay
berry bushes on the other side he stu1n-
bled and fell fiat.
He knew what it was that he had
tumbled over the moment that he fell
across it, and his fingers trembled so
that he could scarcely scratch the
match that he took from his pocket.
But it was lighted at last, and as Its
tiny blaze grew brighter the captain
saw John Baxter lying face downward
in the path, his head pointed toward
his home and his feet toward the bill

he lifted the limp body and turned it

Perez and Jerry were still busy with
the water buckets when their friend
came painting up the knoll to the

his forehead with his arm. "Its bout

Nodding and exchanging cOngratula-
tions with acquaintances in the crowd
on the success Of the fire fighting, Cap
tain Fri led his messmates to dark
corner under a clump of trees. Then
he took each Of them by the arm and
whispered sharply:
"Dr. Palmer's somewheres in this

Encourage the Young Farm Mechanic.

How many farmers there are in this
age of progression who, when in need
of a new whiffietree or neck yoke
spend the greater part of day going to
the blacksmith shop to get one made,
and perhaps keep the boy cutting cord
wood to pay for it, when that same boy
is Just crazy to build something, says
correspondent in the Greenfield, Mass,
Gazette. II you have boy mechanic,
get him some tools for woodwork, get
him a portable forge and an anvil, keep
him interested, keep these farmer me-
chanics iD town, encourage them as they
did years ago to build mill and manu-
facture something from your woodlots.
Drive out the wood butchers and mid
dlemeu. Instead of expending all the
money in schools and academies to
teach the boys to leave, expend some in
q way to keep them in town.
Build something besides creameries
and churches. The towns that have the
factories get all your young mechanics,
your lumber, and leave you the brush,
and q few summer boarders.-New
