TAIMA MINISTRIES.
Scenic Artist from . New York Thes
 ater Begins Work Here Monday.


 At the Banquet will be the title of the opening scene of the Talma minstrels, which are to be presented in Polls theater on February and 5 next. It will be a scene so elabo- rate and so beautiful that already one of the leading professional min- strel arrangements has spoken for it for it's. own use in the near future. Monday morning next Fred kom- losy, coming right direct from the Schuberts' New York Casino. will begin work on this scene in Poli's theater. This artist has been prom inent in the production of such set- tings as those which graced the per- formances of From Broadway to Tokio," "The Earl and the Girl" and Mabel Gilman's. The Mocking Bird The chorus of sixty voices which will help to add to the beauty of this first part scene, were enthusi- astic over the plans when shown them. It gave them one more in- centive to make the renearsals as good as the performances proper. and everybody seems to have partaken of the enthusiasm. With costumes in taste and beauty. the equal of the scenic settings, and with the mostly evenly balanced chorus that has ever graced the local stage. certainly the Talmas will have all Waterbury anx- ious to secure sitting in the theater. Of course all cannot be accommo- dated, that must be understood. but those who secure their tickets in ad- vance will be assured of sitting. Many were disappointed last year be- cause they delayed too long. and now Is the time, if they want to listen to a splendid performance and to assist in building house for the i'll and afflicted, for the proceeds will go to tho new hospital, this is their oppor- l tunity.

 Hin Be Hsre Next Week.

A representative of the American Sign Co of Clyde, Ohio. will have q conference with the department Of public works Tuesday night regard- ing the matter of placing signs in all the streets of Waterbury. This IS something that has been in hand long time and the present adminis- tration thinks it time to push 1t to completion. This also means such changes as may be found necessary to do away with the confusion caused by having several streets in different parts of the town bearing the same names. A good deal has been done in this direction, but the work Is by no means finished. Take that article in the papers during the present week, for example. u says a light has been recommended on Baldwin street, opposite Calvin street, anu an- other on Galavin street. near Wall streets. Many similar cases could be mentioned.

Cultivation Essential.

In localities where water for irrga-
ton is cheap and plentiful it may mat
ter little as regards the annual cost of
the water whether farmer Uses six
inches at each irrigation or twelve inch
es. The effect of the proper use of wa
ter, however, will soon be apparent in
the yield of crops and the fertility of
the soil. 1t should be understood from
the start that irrigation water cannot
take the place of cultivation. The Ia
Dor and skill of the husbandman are
needed even more in an arid than in a
humid climate. Repeated trials have
shown that excellent crops of all kinds
can be grown with a medium amount
of water, provided the soil is well cult
waited and the water rightly applied

POULTRY BREEDING.
Examine Your Stock to Insure The
Necessary Quality.

Examine Your Stock to Insure the
Necessary Quality.
Now is good time for the poultry
man to look over and examine into the
merits of his young stock and aScer
tain which individuals he shall retain
for his breeding yard next season. Tho
following qualities should be fully
known:
Is the selected specimen hardy? Has
it ever shown symptoms of disease OF
weakness? Has it shown disposition
to take care of itself and displayed its
strong constitution by taking the lcad
among its mates: Rapid maturing,
desirable quality in all breeds. is seer
in rapid growth, early fcathcring and
activity. These points being under
stood as to each specimen, then select
with reference to the following facts:
The male should be elegant in sym
metry, good in color, strong, vigorous,
courageous and gallant; size, Il good
average of his variety. The females
should show strong constitutions, large
size and good color. BY all means the
shape should be good. The theory that
good shape and symmetry should be
present in the male, while anything
will do for the female, may do where
fine points are not of great Importance,
but in nice poultry breeding it will not
do to hope for handsome progeny from
coarse and angular females, no matter
how good the male may be in that re-
spect
After having made the selections
then by all means care for them, for to
this may be attributed the success or
failure of the season in a great meas
ure. If the stock designed to breed
from is improperly fed and cared for
and they are suffered to go into tho
breeding season not fully matured or
rounded out they cannot be expected
to produce the best of young. Push
your birds, therefore, with all they
will stand of pure, wholesome food and
see that they are well housed also

This month there is little that can be

this and avoid chilling too much.
