At the Biiou.

"In New York Town" at the Bijou the atre this week. is a bright colorful show and one of the best mounted musical comedies ever seen at the Biiou. In fact, the scenery is on an elaborate scale for a popular-prlced house. Three sets are used, the first being a view of Dream land, the second Dover street in China town. and the third Astor roof garden. All three of these sets are handsome and the light effects are novel. Pretty musical numbers are introduced by prin- cipals who can sing and pleasing array of femininity, attractively gowned. The costumes are varied. Charles r lard and his assistants look after the comedy. The usual Wednesday matinee will be given this afternoon.

The Majestic.

Hallen and Fuller. who are presenting "Her Sunday School Boy" at the Majes- tic theatre this week have captivated their audiences.

The musical comidetta, 1.-Two Theatre Tick cts" interpreted by Carl W. Sanderson and Miss Billie Bowman, is an original sketch which serves to introduce MT. Sanderson in some fine piano playing and limitations of other musical instruments. Gilroy, Haynes and Montgomery are pre- senting nautical comedy, "The oiood Ship Nancy Lee," which is a refined sketch to show their cleverness in sing ing solos, duets and tros, The bill IS whole is excellent There are six acts

AMUSE MENTS.
Olga NethersoIe Tonight.

The advance sale of seats for both engagements of Miss Olga Nethersole at the Jefferson theatre tonight and tomor- row night is one of the best evidences of the interest that has been aroused in the coming of the famous English actress. She will be seen tonight in her own dra- matlzation of M. Scribes great play, "Adrienne Leoouvreur Miss Nethersoie spent much of her time while abroad last summer in designing the scenes and costumes for this beautiful and splendid production. She was accorded special privileges in Paris by government ofh- cials, which enabled her to obtain accu- rate data from which to design costumes and scenery. Adrienne 1ourshed at the elegant period when Louis the KY, the beau monarque set the fashions for ele- gance and grace the world over. It was with this idea in view that Miss Nehersole built the beautiful production of "Adrienne Lecouveur," which will be one of the notable scenic displays pre- sented by any dramatic attraction this season.
 On tomorrow night Miss Nethersole will play the Clyde Fitch version of tho Daudet story of "Sapho,' the one for the production of which she was prose- cuted in New York about four years ago, and eXonerated by the jury before whom the trial took place. To properly pre- sent this play three car loads of scenery and property will be brought to Birming- ham. Miss Nethersole is supported by Frank Mills, young American actor, and a company of forty other players. The curtain will rise at o'clock sharp during the Nethersole engagement, ow- ing to the length of the two plays.

Respective Following of Mir,
 Gray and Mir. Thomas
LEADERS DO NOT AGREE
Both Would Name Standing and spe- cial Committees-Gray's Policy One of Difference to
 MT. Corners.

That prerogative of the lieutenant gov ernor carrying with it the appointment of standing and special committees of the state senate, will be exerted by Henry B. Gray, who, in virtue of his office, will be the next presiding officer of the upper house of the legislature.
 This function of the lieutenant gov ernor. by a precedent lately established. fell to the lot of the president pro tenn of the senate, and it is known that MT. Gray and Senator Perry Thomas of Bar bour, who is an unoposed candidate for president pro tenn, have not reached an agreement. Each contends that the ap- pointment of the committees should fall to him. The matter will undoubtedly be settled by ballot of the senate.
 In this connection it was pointed out yesterday that on the face of things, at least, there would probably be an ad- ministration and an anti-adminisration faction in the senate, the two parties being led by Lieutenant Governor Gray and Senator Thomas, respectively. While it is probable that any intention to create these factions does not exist, 1t is sug gested that a sequence of the indications as they are today will unavoidaby lead to that end.
 The Support of Each.
 It is said that those senators fervently working in the interest of the lieutenant governor were all active workers in the interest of MT Conner, and those seeking to place in the hands of the president pro tenn. of the senate the appointment of the committees, were staunch sup porters of Dr. Cunningham. Among those senator's actively engaged in the interest of Mr. Gray are Senators Overton of Randolph, Gardner of Pike, Reynolds of Bbb Bayles of Monroe, Wimberly of Pickens, Horton of Green, Lusk of Mar shall and Miller of Jefferson.
 On the other hand, the following sena- tors are working in the interest of sena- tor Thomas: Senator's Blackmon of Cal houn. Reese of Dallas. Teasley of Mont gomery and others. all of whom were supporters of pr. Cunningham. Senator Thomas himself was a supporter of the Ensley physician.
 MT. Gray's Intention.
 Mr Gray goes to the capital with the hearty support of the Conner leaders, in- cluding W. D. Nesbitt. his campaign man. ager If he exerts the function of ap- pointing the committees, it is learned that he will be guided by the policies of Mr. Conner, and that he will show def 'erenee not only tdsa the general policies of the governor-elect, but to his personal feelings as well.
 It is remembered that Mir Gray and MT Thomas met in Montgomery last week and failed to reach an agreement as to which should appoint the commit tees Later. Senator Thomas came to Birmingham, but no agreement was reached It is a practical certainty now that the difference between the two must be settled by vote of the upper house. Between the two gentlemen the warmest friendship exists. MT. Gray will give his moral support, at least, to the candidacy of the gentleman from Barbour for the position of president pro tenn. of the house.

GRADING UP LIVE STOCK.
Selection of Good Sires an Important
Initial step.

S0Aect1On OF OOOO S1reS an important
Initial step.
The farmer breeder should not be de-
tered from grading up because he
does not know or understand all the
theories with which the more advanced
and educated students of the breeding
problem concern themselves. It is
enough for him to know and to apply
the great fundamental law that like
produces like" says Breeders Gazette
that is to say, it is enough for the
present. Later, with enlarged knowl-
edge, with acquired experience, he can
work in the light of more complete I'M
derstanding, but he will be able to
make material and profitable improve
ment in his farm stock by adherence to
the law without even consideration Of
the fact that it has it's exceptions in
actual application.
What does it mean practically? Sup
pose improvement is desired in a herd
Of beef cattle. Let the farmer select a
masculine headed, strong crested, full
chested large girthed, deep bodied,
heavy quartered, straight backed bull
especially good where his females are
weak, and he can reasonably expect
that the progeny will take after the sire
in physical conformation. He cannot
expect that the calves will be as good
as the bull, because the dams of infe-
rior character are bound to exert more
or less influence. But when the sire is
better than the dams the calves will for
the most part show Improvement over
the cows which produced them
If improvement is sought in the
swine let a study be made Of the weak
nesses of the sOws and let the farmer
have clear idea of the points in which
he desires betterment and then let him
order boar with view to strengthen
ing those weaknesses in the progeny
If denser fleece or a heavier leg of
mutton is wanted let a ram be selected
that is especially strong in these par
ticulars, and he may confidently be
coupled with the assurance that i'm
provement will result. 1t is very sim
pie. The farmer must know the weak
spots in his females, and he must be
sure that he gets a sire strong in the
points he wishes corrected. He will
doubtless draw some blanks, some Of
the progeny will not come up to eX-
pectatiOns, but so large a per cent Of
the resultant increase will show such
that the farmer will find the invest
ment in a pedigreed sire of sterling
merit very profitable one.

HOOK, HAND Pillow AND AUGER.
Gee. In harvesting ice sharp tools and
celebrity are of Importance in view of
sudden weather changes.
Snow ice, if in heavy coating, should
g5e removed either by a snow ice planer
ean the field or cut away as the cakes
sure being sent to the icehouse. In lay
Gng out your ice field be sure to sel0ct
ice OF the finest quality possible. After
the ice tract is determined a heavy
cord is run between two stakes. Along
this as a guide the hand pillow is passed,
thus defining the line to be cut in the
ice. A horse marker is then inserted
dn the groove thus made, cutting three
lnches into the ice.
The field is paralleled by these
grooves, and then the plows are start
ed, the ice being penetrated to within
about four inches of the bottom of the
dee. The same operations are mhde in
}ines running at right angles with those
drst laid out, thus cutting the field
lnt0 regular blocks. If the snow ice
plane is to be used the field is worked
In one direction only.
Care should be taken that the chan
nelS are kept open Braces will be
needed should the current be strong.
After your channel is made the ice is
sawed and barred off.-American Agri-

helpful Suggestions For Amateurs In
Poultry Culture.
Following is a summary of sugges-
tions from the Connecticut StorrS ex-
pertinent station of value to the many
people who raise a few chickens for
their own use or for local market:
Much depends upon the selection of
eggs for Matching. Eggs for this pur-
pose should be Of uniform shape and
size and thickness of shell. Rough
;shelled, dirty and notified eggs with
thin shells should be excluded ''There
IS some doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of setting small eggs. While it is
possible that they may be as fertile
and produce as many chicks as larger
eggs, it is probable that pullets from
the former will have a tendency to lay
small eggs" Small eggs should there
fore be avoided.
Eggs which are over five days old
should not be used. Every egg should
be carefully dated when taken from the
nest in order to avoid error on this
point While good matches have been
secured from eggs that were three
weeks old when placed in the incu-

SMEAR Rect Irriratinn.

the following conclusions are derived
from observation of methods of irriga-
eaiOn with sugar beets near Rocky Ford,
@COlo.:
Winter irrigation and early seeding
favor a good stand.
Narrowing or cultivation after rain
cor irrigation is essential
The cross lateral system is the NEST
successful layout
Silt is not considered a benefit to
land and, though it aids hasty irriga-
zion, does not raise the duty of water.
An average irrigation is six inches.
The total depth of water required is
not more than two feet, including rain
fail
The cost of applying water is so
small as to make neglect and excessive
waste ineXcUsable.
