comedy in which Richard Golden Is -
appear at the auditorium Thursday
evening, comes heralded as one of the
present seasons successes. Its story
revolves around the kindly disposed
inventor. whose business is in chaotic
state. but whose heart is in the
right place. The part of the IN,
vcntor, a quaint, keen and lovable Old
Yankee, is portrayed by Mr.. Golden,
and is said to represent his best eff
forts in his career. The play is from
the pen of Harry and Edward Paulton,
authors of Erminie and Niobe, but it
in no way resembles any of their former
works. Mr.. Golden has been surround
ed by east of prominent players
among whom are K. c. Hertz, Alfred
Hickman, Gertrude Swiggett, Charles

Bernice Wiley Golden and others. The

Alkaline Soil Conditions.

Lime can also do harm if used in
judiciously 1t may induce the soil
to give up plant foods by drawing too
heavily upon the resources of the
land. The mechanical effect of lime,
in changing the texture of the soil,
is also an important result of its use
Lime gives excellent results when
used in connection with green crops
that are plowed under. 1t is the
manure, or crop, th"t provides the
plant food, and not the lime, but
lime induces hasty action, and en-
ables the materials added to the soil
to assume the forms available for the
plants. When the land is sour, and
grown over with sorrel (Which con-
tains oXalic acid), lime is said then
to "sweeten the soil" by removing
the sourness, but what it really does
is to assist in changing the acids of
the soil into carbonate of lime and
oXalate of lime, through chemical
combinations, the sour soil becoming
alkaline because the lime has taken
up the acids which existed before its
presence. With the changes thus
made follow others, but they may
be rapid or slow according to circum-
stances, sometimes the benefits of
lime not being apparent until the sec
ond year, but upon soils upon which
lime has not been applied for years
1t never fails to give excellent results.
In proportion to the benefits derived
it costs but little, is plentiful, and
should be used extensively. Lime
may be said to be the foundation of
the clover crop, wood ashes also be-

Don't Side-Linc Your Pigs.

l know farmer who formerly re-
garded his hogs as side line to his
business of grain growing. He
raised number every year, but they
were very scrubby stock; yet he al
ways looked to his hog money for
taxes, insurance, fence repairs, etc.,
says Farm and Fireside. An old
schoolmate called on him one day,
and in one of their chats he pointed
out to him how he was losing money
in raising such poor quality of
hogs. He told him he would not
have meat animal on his farm that
was not of the best quality. They
looked well and sold well when
young, and invariably topped the
market when matured. He advised
him to sell off all his scrub stock
and buy three or four first-class
young sows and raise pigs he would
be proud of. He said: Don't side
line your pigs any more, but make
them leading product of the highest
quality, and they will make you a
greater profit than the best crops of
grain you grow" This farmer dates
the beginning of his prosperity from
the visit of that old schoolmate..
When he obtained fine stock he i'm
mediately set about providing it with
the most comfortable quarters and
giving it the best care, and the re-
suits can easily be guessed. AS ]
have said before: Cne who has a
small sum lying idle usually can find
place on the farm where it can be
employed to good advantage-where
it will earn much more than three Ia
! five per cent. interest.

Dairy Cleanliness,

1t is gratifying to notice that some
dairymen wash the udders and teats
OF the cows at every milking time,
wiping with clean towels, avoiding
every chance of filth entering the
milk, but such dairymen get good
prices, which are secured by their
reputation for skillful management
of their cows and their products. The
Importance of putting upon the mar
ket milk that is clean and of good
quality should be a special effort on
the part of dairymen, for the reason
than the consumer is willing to pay
more for it if convinced OF the fact
Milk passes through so many hands
from the COW to the consumer as to
render the matter of obtaining pure
and clean milk a difficult one. The
dairyman consoles himself with the
fact that he strained the milk before
selling it, but the strainer does not
remove soluble filth. Any substance
that is dissolved by the milk will re-
main in the milk.
Dairymen are aware of the fact
that it is not unusual for a cow to
get down on the floor of her stall
to rest, without regard to whether
the floor is clean or covered with
manure and her udder and teats may
have rested during the night on a
heap of fresh manure. The COW is
not as clean as the hog, so far as Sc
lecting suitable place for resting
is concerned and where the dairyman
himself is careless and does not keep
the stalls clean, as we'll as brush the
cows and wash the teats and udders,
it is almost impossible to have clean
milk. That cleanliness adds to the
profits has been demonstrated by
many leading dairymen, who find it
profitable to sell only the best and
cleanest milk they can offer, the best
price being secured when the farmer
can sell his product himself or when
the dealer handles milk only from
well regulated farms.-The Epito.

Farm Notes.

What do you think Of the high
class, high-priced thoroughbreds thai
follow the fairs like the lawyers used
to follow the courts? Fine, surely;
but it is the high-class grades thai
fill the butchers stalls.
Clover bloat or hoven is more com
mon among cattle in wet season!
than in dry. The COW that has hat
some dry hay and salt immediatel!
before being turned on the clover
is not likely to have bloat.
The orchard is a good place t.
feed hogs in. The hogs may get al
extra mouthful that is clear gain
and they will prepare for the tree!
many a good meal for next spring
and summer.
Don't let the months pass withou
a thorough cleaning up of the stables
barn and barnyard. Every shovel
full of manure is worth money if yol
get it to the right place-garden
orchard or meadow.
The yearlings may be winteret
much more cheaply, and make ;
great deal better growth if comfort
ably housed. Pigs TO be kept owe
should. by all means, have dry, com
Portable quarters.
