This Woman and This Man.

Carlotta Nillson, the popular &C

Elliott's Theatre, New York, in play
entitled This Woman and This
Man" 1t is a life-drama in three acts,
each one of the most intense human
interest Without attempting to so
into the details of the story, this play
of Miss Wilson's is one of the most
powerful lessons ever portrayed on
the American stage, and viewed from
its quality alone should have run as
long as those old heart plays of the
long ago, Young Mrs Winthrop
and Hazel Kirke" And altough OF
different mould from either it IS
equally as powerful in its portrayal OF
human passion Treating human
frailty from its weakest viewpoint,
this new play makes a quick appeal
from the first rise of the curtain,
where the rich father comes i'll and
looks for evidence of his own sons
perfdy with the governess of his chill
dren. The play is one of still acting,
pantomime and emotional heart
throbs, albeit it is one of thrills as
WELL at the beginning, where a be
trayed young woman forces her lover
at the point of a pistol to give his
name in marriage to save her shame.
Miss Nillson has made a conquest
that should win her lasting renown,

Receipt for a Salad.

By Sidney Smith.
To make this condiment, your poet
begs,
The pounded yellow of two hard

Two boird potatoes through kitchen

Smoothness and softness to the salad
give.
Let onion atoms look within the bowl,
And half-suspected, animate the whole.

spoon,
Distrust the condiment that bites too
soon;
But deem it not, thou man OF herbs,

To add ouble quantity of salt;
Four times the spoon with oil from
Lucca brown,
And twice with vinegar procured from
town;
And, lastly, DER the havor'd com

A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce.
Oh, green and glorious! Oh, herb
aceous treat!

to eat:
Back to the world he'd turn his fleet

And plunge his fingers in the salad

Cultivation Of Corn.

At the several experiment stations
corn has received more than Its share
OF attention, and many experiments
have been made In order to learn how
to derive the largest yields and to
grow the crop most economically.
Opinions differ, however, as climate,
variety and soil are factors governing
every crop. The Indiana station found
that the best results were obtained by
planting seed in May. 1t has been
shown that the greatest average yield
Of both ears and stocks have been OBJ
tained when the stalks stood about
twelve or fourteen inches apart in the
rows. Thick planting, however, re-
duces the size of the ears, and the per-
centage of grain, but thick planting
has, In dry seasons, produced the
heaviest yield Of stalks and the high
est yield of ears. So far as depth of
cultivation is concerned, the yields,
when corn was cultivated one, two
and three inches, have been equal. In
continuous corn culture heavy appli-
cations of fresh horse manure have
not been profitable, but the effect of
a very heavy application of manure
has been noticed for many years.
There does net seem to be much differ
ence in yields due to any particular
implement used, while hill and drill
paintings of corn have produced the
same average yields The Checking"
of corn is still the most popular and
profitable mode of growing the corn
at the least cost of labor. The results
at one station may not correspond
with those obtained elsewhere, but
where the work has extended over a
number of years the results should be
accepted as important, If not conclu-
sive.

Pasturing Sheep.

Some writer's claim that sheep
ought not to be pastured on land more
than one year before 1t is plowed and
reseeded, owing to parasites. but 1t has
been shown that sheep have been kept
free from parasites by the use of tar,
turpentine and salt. Bore Pinch holes
in a pine log, fill with salt and smear
tar around the top and sheep will tar
their noses while eating salt. Sheep
soon learn to eat tar. One sheep
raiser keeps 1t mixed with turpentine
and salt, where 1t is accessible at all
times. About one-half pint of turpen.
tine to one peck of salt is the proper
proportion.

Milk Contamination.


There are hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time 1t Is drawn from the udder
till it reaches the table in the form OF
sweet milk, cream or butter. First, a
great deal Of bacteria, impurities and
disease germs get into the milk at the
barn or lot In which the cows are
kept. Second, great many more OF
these owe their existence in milk to
the attendant and the place In which
the milk IS kept. The moment the
cow shows signs of being Ill, or when
even a slight eruption is noticeable, a
person may contract disease by partak
ing of her milk. Impure water Is an
other way in which milk Is contami
mated. If the COW Is compelled to
drink out of mud hole, filled with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink a large number Of those germs
into her system, some of them being
sure to reach her milk. Milking the
COW into an open pail when the barn
is filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number Of dirty
cobwebs, or milking her In an offens.
lively smelling lot, where the filth Is
ankle deep, or milking COW whose
udder, fianks and legs are covered with
dirt and filth-in such cases 1t is i'm
possible to avoid contamination of the
milk. 1t is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than are given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention is paid to the care OF
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

AS tall as his hat Is the golden topped

Which waves its long arms in the

AS fair and as fragrant as gardens Of

Are his fields with their stubble as

With his barn full of hay and his bed

A smile on his face and CLEAN in

The cattle provided with winter re-

While apples and pumpkins are ripen-
