dropped from a builders scaffold and
killed man beside him. Sardou said:
IF | were not killed it was because |
ought to remain here. Paris owes me re-
venge."
Sardou was born in Paris in 1881. He
started in life as medical student and
passed most of his time in writing plays
which at that time were failures. I'm
dsmayed and believing in himself lie
struggled while awaiting for the tide
which was to lead him to fame and for
tune.
First Comedy a Failure.
His first comedy, La Tavernc des
Etudiants." was produced in 1904 in the
Odeon. then the second state theater, bat
it proved a failure. He then wrote the
comedy, Scrap of Paper" which was
produced with great success in 1850 and
subsequently adapted for the English
stage.
At the age of - Sardou witnessed the
production of his latest drama, Il, A.
faire des poisons." at the Porte Ste.
Martin theater. This play, which has
to do with the infamous poisoning CANA
rilla existing under the reign of Louis
NV. and which was presented for the
first time on December I, 1901, is suli
running to crowded houses.
In 1857 following many disappoint-
ments Sardou fell i'll of typhoid fever.
A kindly neighhor. Mile. Brecourt an
actress, nursed him day and night and
saved his life. Shortly after his recoV-
cry he married her and this was the
turning point in his career,
Wife Dies at His Zenith.
Through his wife Sardou became ac-
ouainted with the celebrated De Jazet.
who commissioned him TO write two
plays for her, both of which were
successes. After nine years of
happv married life and when he was ar
the zenith of his prosperity his wife died.
In 1877 he married Mile. A. Souier and
the same year was elected a member of
the French academy.
Sardous fame is due largely to his
thorough knowledge of stage effects and
his instincts in gauging the tastes of the
playgoing public. His writing is so
small that the printers have to place his
copy under Il magnifying glass to de-
cipher it.

Putting Up SiIage.

Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage,
writes DR.. G. A Billings in American
AgrIculturist. At this stage there is
q larger percentage of water, and the
silage when taken out has large
amount of acid less starch and sugar
and hence is less nutritious. Corn
planted in drills with stalks eight to
ten inches apart will mature a good
proportion Of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to
mold. This may be found in spots
around the sides or more generally
over the silO wherever the air has gain
ed access to cause the fungous growth.
This condition may be improved by
tramp1ng the material carefully in the
silO, adding water by sprinkling with
a hose, or if this is not available di-
or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists the
material TO settle and acts as a seal
to keep out the air
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
large amount of corn beforehand.

the corn is heavy and the stalk large
cutting in half inch to one inch pieces
will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refused by the animals

kept level and well trampled, especial
ly around the sides of the silo, and it
pays to have sufficient help for this
work. Where considerable silage is

Fertilizers for Strawberries.

Regarding the effect of different fer
tiliZers on Strawberries, land plaster
when applied to tie bed is said to
make the berries more brilliant, though
lighter in color. Nitrate of soda large
ly increases the size Of the leaves and
berries, but the berries are said not
to be so firm. Sulphate of potash i'm
proves tie size and flavor of the ber-
ries, and also the color and firmness,
while superphosphate increases the
yiefd. The kind Of soil, however, is
to be considered, as well as the variety
Of strawberry. On some soils the muri-
ate of potash gives better results than
the sulphate.
