DULUTH'S FINE THIRD REGI.
MEN1" BAND.

Some critics a short time ago, said
that as a music loving public, the citi-
zens Of Duluth were considerably be-
low the standard, for failing to patron
lie the good musical attractions that
were being presented by the Lyceum
theater management and while this
statement may be true to a certain ex-
tent, the people here surely appreciate
our own Third Regiment band, for the
attendance at the Armory on Jan. 6,
Sunday, at the opening concert Of the
season, was larger than. the combined
attendance, at the three concerts given
by the famous "Besses o tn Barn
Band" at the Lyceum a short time ago.
Not that we would attempt to say
that the local band was the better
band, but the fact that it is a local
band and the pride Of the city, and
that it is also an excellent band and
one we'll worth hearing no one will
dispute.
Now to maintain this band and keep
it up to its present standard, requires
something besides appreciation, 1t
needs support.
During he winter, the season Is dull
for band engagements, and in order to
keep the band in condition and train
ing for next summers work. it was
decided to give these concerts.
Not many of the people Of our city
realize the amount of work and ex-
pense there is to a band of this size,
and still more do not realize what an
| excellent advertisement for the city
this band Is, or they would be COM
PEELED to display the S. r. c. sign at
every concert.
When this band as it does every
summer, plays engagements in other
cities, throughout the country, it at
tracts attention to Duluth, for the
people say, Duluth must be good
! city, to have so good a. band
And right here it might be we'll to
add that there is hardly a city if In
| deed. there is another, that has so fine
q band as ours, in which the band
| does not receive support from the city
direct, by at least having the band
| give series of park concerts, paid
for by the city.
| This matter should be taken up this
/ spring and arranged for next summer
but at present the concerts at the Ar.
mory should be literally patronized
as the admission fee is so low, thai
any one can we'll afford to attend

There In a wonderful difference be-

philosophy Of breeding Is a very deep

They are the product Of skillful. In

one. Yet In almost every herd OF 25
females there will be found a certain
number which do not nick well with

RELATIVE MERITS OF

Illinois Agricultural Station

The Illinois experiment station has
conducted soma very valuable and ex.
tensive experiments along spraying
lines. among them being series Of
tests to determine the relative merits
Of liquid and dust spraying applica-
tons. This particular investigation
was carried on through the seasons Of
1903. 1904 and 1905. In three different
orchards. two In the southern and one
In the western part OF the state. and

Ia only necessary TO state that the nv.

means Of improving the yield IL by q

At the experiment station In Maine
the average yield OF the whole flock
