One of our subscribers asks for ad-
vice about keeping a field from wash
ing. He states there are several pretty
deep bitches already worn on the side
hill n the best part of the farm is
washing down into the road. The best
thing to do is to get this field into some
strong rooted grass. Bromus Inermus
will do. 1t should be sown in the
spring, pretty thick, say about twenty
bushels to the acre. If seeding down
is not desirable, then check the bitches
by driving in willow stakes every few
rods along the whole length of the
bitches. These will grow rapidly and
in a short time will make an effective
barrier, and then they are easily gotten
rid of should you want to cut them

Alfalfa growers are learning more
about the crop, n consequently are
having greater success with it. Good
seed is as essential as a good seed bed.
The first cutting must be done at he
right stage of growth to insure good
second and third cuttings. The first
cutting should be made as soon as say
10 per cent. of the blossoms are out.
for if left until in full bloom the plant
%exhausts itself, with the result that
the next cutting will be very light. One
other very important thing: Don't
NOW too close; you are liable to injure
some of the crowns The stubble
should be from one to two inches high.
Close moving and p%asturing with stock
have much to do with winter killing of
alfalfa. Some growers claim that all
falfa shout never be pastured, that
when fed green it should be moved
and fed as a soiling crop. It is claimed
that where sweet clover grows it is
easy to get a stand of alfalfa.

New York, November 26.-Eight jurors

branch of the supreme court for the
trial of George Burnham, Jr., counsel for
the Mutual Reserve Insurance company.
Burnham, his brother Frederick A., presi-

by the prisoners counsel, who finally
agreed, in the absence of Burnham' $

producing his client in court tomorrow.
The court consented to this arrangement.
Burnham is alleged to have paid $500

MISS FARRAR FEATURE
GRAND OPERA OPENING
Young American Prima Donna as Juliet
Repeats Her European Success In
First Appearance in This Country.

New York November 26.-With Gounod's s
"Romeo and Juliet as the premier, and
introducing three singers new to the lyric
stage of America, the grand opera season
opened tonight at the Metropolitan. De-
cidedly the feature of this opening night
was the first appearance in grand opera
in this country of Miss Geraldine Farrar,
the young American soprano, and prima
donna of the Royal opera house in Ber-
lin.
Miss Farrar was the Juliet, role in
which she has won laurels in Berlin and
elsewhere in Europe. Some eight years
ago Miss Farrar a girl of l6, sang on
trial one afternoon in New York. Since
then she has developed into the most pop
ular American prima donna in Europe.
and a generous indosement of that verdict
was voiced by an American audience to-
night.
Charles Rousseliere, for several years
one of the leading tenors Of the Paris
opera was the Romeo.
Charles Simmeid, a baritone, also a
f'renchman, took the part OF Mercutio.
Both are new to the lyric stage in New
York and both to a greater or minor eX-
tent shared in the triumph of Miss Far
rar.
