 LlllNEDLA7E SUCCESS

of the concert silently compiimented the musicians and their director.
 The first number on the program of the afternoon, The Irish Rhapsody i" No. 1, Opus 7s. by Standford, served to forecast the excellence of the suc- ceeding numbers. There was a little of the gay Irish iilt in the compost tion, suggesting dancing on the com mon green, but in the main the theme of the piece was sweetiy dignified, a background of melody upon which were thrown suggestions to be trans lated yariously by the individual
 As an encore to this number the band played a composition which may be termed high vaudeville in music The audience was impelled to laughter by the musical ludicropsness. A squeak was followed by subdued rumble, a roar by Q softly prolonged waii--the scene. lady and a nnouse, a mena- geris, much of many things.
 The next number introduced to a Montgomery audience, Elaine DeSellem in the coutralto aria, My Heart al Thy Sweet Voice" Saint-Saens. As an encore My Rosary was rendered with sweetness and feeling that drew sus- tained aplause from the audience. Miss DeSellen has 8 voice in which are united volume and sweetness. She sang with rare feeling and the pleas. ing personality with which she is en- dowed rendered her at once a favorite with the audience.
 The band had to have it's little joke and this result 1t accomplished by the rendition of the Merry Widow waltz in the prevailing style of half . dozen composers.

Mendelssohn pathetically swathed it in "sweetness lingeringly likabie." The rag-time rendition was injected with an appro- priate quota of bowery enthusiasm, the notes being thrown from the in- struments into the audience to be caught with the hands or feet as seemed fitting. The triumph of this number was the adaptation of the Merry Widow to the ponderously grand style of Wagner. The joke became genius in this supremely clever mod ifcation and adaptation of the popular composition.

 The other numbers of the program were very entertaining. the harp solo valse Caprice, Cheshire, played by w J. Williams being particularly so.

The Musical Festival. presenting the Innes band, of which Frederick Neil Innis is director, began yesterday at the Grand with afternoon and evening performances.
 In the afternoon an admirably select ed program was rendered in which the chfidren's chorus of 300 voices took part. At the night performance the allegory Americana" arranged by Mr. Innes. was produced. the festival chorus of children and adults assist ing ir, the rendition. Large audiences were present at both performances. and the concerts were greatly enjoyed.
 The initial concert was given at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a large and brilliant audience being in attendance. The program constituted selection Of coupositions of admirable range,and in their rendition a perfection of organi- xation and individual ability that con tributed to make the concert popularity and artistically enjoyable. A pleasing innovation was the introduction in the program of the song America" nusi- caiIy rendered by Q children's chorus Of a0D voices.
 The performance of the Innes band yesterday afternoon was rare tribute to the genius of the director. To the audience as spectators the dignity and the grace of the leader were pleasing, the absence of frenzied movement rest ful. To the audience the divine har. monies called forth by the wave of a magic wand gave positive and musical evidence that Mir. Innes has all qualt- fications essential to the successful leadership of the large organization which the directs. Artistic interpreta- tation on the part of the director and admirable responsive effort on the part of the musicians rendered the concert an artistic triumph to be remembered, Encores enthusiastically demanded were generously given by Mr. Innes. but despite this fact it Is certain that the audience experienced no musical satiation, and an evident unwillingness to leave the Grand after the conclusion

Egg Eating Fowls.

Egg eating is due to one or two
causes-either lack Of shell-forming
material or n bad habit acquired by
close confinement and bad example. If
the fowls are receiving too little they
consume the eggs in order to satisfy
their craving. In one hundred eggs
of ordinary size there are about TWEEN
ty-two ounces of lime, and all this must
be taken into the system in one form
or another. Broken oyster shells are,
perhaps, the best and cheapest she'll
forming material If due to a bad
habit, 1t is rather more difficult to over
come. If the culprit can be discovered,
and it is not valuable bird, 1t is bet
ter to kill 1t at once, as the habit is one
that quickly spreads to the other fowls
A good old way of curing this vice
is by blowing an ordinary egg and re-
filling with mixture of cayenne pep
per and mustard. This should be left
In a prominent place, and II the fowls

The last ten years has seen an enor

Many OF us can look back twenty
years to the time when unframed men
were at the head Of agricultural in

colleges. These men had to be employ

One man who rose to be the chief
dairy instructor in State afterwards
went to dairy school and took full
course showing that he felt that he had
something to learn, even though he

To-day we are getting the result of
the past twenty years OF training In
the agricultural schools and their de
Tendencies, the dairy schools. The men
at the head Of the departments to-day
are vastly superior In training TO the
men that occupied the same positions
twenty years ago They have not only
learned all that their instructors knew,
but have dug up other facts and have
assimilated the new facts dug out by
other people In all parts of the world.

Where an area of land has been very
severely overgrazed in the past it will
be absolutely necessary that 1t be very
carefully pastured for the first two or
three years. The native grasses and
forage plants must have chance to
regain their former vlgor and go to
seed. A very large number of stock.
men advocate resting the land-that is,
keeping all stock off period of three
or four years. That this remedy will
bring about the desired results has
been definitely proved in numerous in
stances.-J. S. Cotton.
