The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-01

Year after year they are taking an in
terest in her and she is receiving better
attention now than she did some years
ago. The enthusiastic beginner is the
one who makes poultry win as he must
love his work if he wants to make a
success. One great mistake we all make
is, we want to get to the top of the
ladder without climbing. We can't do
it. Experience is the best lesson. Our
success depends on making good be-
ginning. Start with one breed for the
beginning, as you cannot handle too
many hot irons at once, and as you
become acquainted with one breed thor
oughly, why then there is time to add
different breeds to your yards. Begin
with pure bred fowls, even If you can
buy only a pair of good ones.
A setting of eggs is the cheapest If
you have any luck at all. Success with
poultry means what you get out Of it.
Some may raise poultry for pleasure,
but about 80 out of every 100 are in
it for the returns they get. The lay
ing breeds are the ones that pay. Most
every farmers wife understands the
setting and Matching part of the busl-
ness, but still none of us are so far
can learn something. A great many OF
us make mistakes by thinking we know
it all. Now if you want 200-egg or
3O0-egg hens in great number you must
use the trap nests, leg band your lay
ing hens and keep a record OF no"
many eggs she lays during the season.
If she shows great laying quahtles'
don't sell any of her eggs, keep them
for your own use. Don't let her get
broody. See that she gets all the pro-
per food she needs, and see that she
has grit at all times to digest her
food. You must breed for products or
not at all. Sell all your non-layers,
and give their room to old "Bldole
who is willing to pay for her keeping
if you will only provide Tor her, VIZ:
warm house during cold weather ana
proper food and enough Of it. No hen
can do her best laying on starvation
diet.
1 believe in extensive poultry rails
ing and keeping and believe that 1oo
hens carefully selected and cared Tor,
will prove as profitable as 800 hens just
given ordinary care. In order to make
flock of hens pay they must have
variety of feed, such as mash, whole
corn, wheat, oats, animal food green
stuff, some kind Of grit, and always
fresh water. Never overfeed your hens
during winter; feed them regulaly three
times a day if you keep them housed
up and never feed them more than they
will clean up in a short time.
Now, let me say in conclusion, don't
make the mistake of starting with too
many fowls, and try to do too much
without experience.

/ THEATRICAL NOTES 4
"Thc Lion and the Mousse

In 1.-The Lion and the Mouse"
which Henry B. Harris will present
here at the Kentucky on Friday night
Charles Klein. the author, has. writ
ten play that promises to be of en-
during popularity. Indeed. it may be
said that the success already achieved
by this drama is beyond anything
known in America in the past ten
years. The theme is most pertinent
to the present day when everyone Is
keenly alive to the Vaccinations Of
trusts and kings Of finance. Mr..
Klein has displayed excellent judg-
ment in presenting a phase of Ameri-
|can life, with which the public has
become familiar through the news
papers and magazines Of the times.
He depicts a king of finance as he is,
robbed of melodramatic attributes.
In opposition to him he places a true
figure of American womanhood-it is
their struggle with the final victory
for the girl that constitutes the basis
upon which this powerful drama of
emotion is built.

BLANCHE BATES
In, "The Girl of the Golden West"

Local color abounded at the Ken
lucky theater last night, when the
latest typical and most successful of
the Belasco plays, 1.-THE Girl of the
Golden West" with Blanche Bates
as 1.-THE Girl" Charles Millward as
the road agent, and Frank keenan, as
the sheriff. was presented to one of
the largest and most fashionable
of the season Taken
right out of the heart of the Sierras,
with its rougfiness and simplicity
and crudeness, was this romance of
that world wide theme. a wopan's
love, and Mr.. Belasco and his actors
plucked the nerves and heartstrings
Of the audience almost to the snap
ping point with a cumuIation of melo
dramatic situations.
The girl operates the polka" sa-
loon in a mining camp. Among her
guests are Jack Rance, gambler and
sheriff, a true gentleman of his own
type, who always ''abides by the turn
OF the kyards'; Sonora Jim, Billy
Jackrabbit, a real indian. dirty and
averse to work; and the typical min
ling camp crowd. The sheriff loves
her and assures her that his wife
back in the states won't know. In
comes Dick Johnson, road agent, for
whom all are looking. He and the
girl had met near Sacramento. Her
heart goes to him. They trace him
to her cabin on the hill. While he
is hiding In the room, the posse
proves to her that he is the road agent

and was the over Of another woman.
When they go she sends him away,
hating him because he took her first
kiss. AS he goes out shot is heard,
and a crash against the door The
gin knows what it means, and opens
the door. Dick Johnson falls in
bleeding. The sheriff follows. She
hides Johnson in the loft. Then
comes the scene In which, while the
girl attempts to mislead the sheriff,
Johnson's blood, dripping from the
floor above, stains the sheriff's white
handkerchief and runs in stream to
the floor. johnson comes down and
the sheriff accepts the girls chai-
ienge to play poker for both the girl
and the road agent. 1t requires no
expert knowledge of the relative
value of aces and kings for the au-
dience to appreciate the intensity Of
the struggle. The play of emotion
of the face of The Girl causes
GREATNESS moment Of suspense,
while as the gamblers attention is
diverted, she fills her hand from a
trio of aces hid in her shoe.
The next act afforcs scene as
mechanically intense, when THE
road agent, captured, is allowed TO
see The Girl and bid her goodbye.
And it all ends happily. for the boys,
seeing how it is with the girl, allow
her to fee with her lover. The
scenic equipment. the properties and
the company are equal to the best OF
Mr.. Belasco's, and that means artis-
tic perfection. 1t is unjust to the
other members to especially mention
any of the cast but Frank Keenan,,
as the sheriff. presents western
character so unique and so dreadful
Is correct, that his cold blooded
laugh haunts one after the perform
ance. Charles Millward as the road
agent lover carries out the ideal ro-
mantle conception of the part. Nor
should Francis L. Lanning, as Billy
Jackrabbitt, be overlooked. He S
