Poultry "Musts."

Poultry "Musts."
To get what we should from poul-
try we must Cd keep more and bet
ter poultry; (2) house and care for
it better; co feed it better, and az
markets the products in better condi-
ton.
Pure bred birds are best, (1) be-
cause the products when offered for
sale are uniform and will bring bet
ter prices, (2) because eggs and fowls
may be sold at remunerative prices
for breeding purposes, and go be-
aus properly bred and selected
birds will produce more eggs or meat
with the same feed and care than
purpose.
Dampness and filth are the two
great things to be guarded against in
Southern poultry houses. Dampness
must be avoided at all cost, and the
houses must be kept clean-free from
filth, bad odors and vermin..
We must learn to feed u poultry
properly, to have a balanced ration
-and to give them green food and grit.
We must also learn to put up our
eggs in better shape, and to have uni
form lots of birds to offer for sale.
The manner in which the Southern
poultry and eggs are marketed Is
largely responsible for the low prices
they bring.-Progressive Farmer.

a Musical Treat.

The senior class of Middlebury college
announce that they have secured Mr..
David Bispham, the world famous bari
tone, to give the annual Commencement
Concert in June.
1t has been many years since an artist
of such note has appeared at the Com
mencement Concert and probably no one
so generally liked by all classes has ever
been presented to an audience in Middle
bury.
In the past there has been more or less
criticism of the character of the annual
concerts given by the senior class. This
year there can be absolutely no room for
criticism, since Mr.. Bispham is recognlz-
ed as an artist of the very highest rank,
The magnitude of tine undertaking rem
ders the senior class deserving of the
very warnest support of the community.
From the lengthy and very favorable
notices with reference to David Bispham' S
recent recital in New York, the following
extracts will prove of interest to those
who are looking forward to the Baritone's
local appearance at Commencement Con
cert in June.
The New York Times says: ''Mr
Bispham was in excellent voice and sang
at his best-which is very goodwill
finely resonant tone and pure intonation.
His program was interesting and showed
his intelligence and enterprise in striking
out from the beaten paths"
The Morning Telegraph says: What
hold has David Bispham on his public.
| am more and more reminded of the
affection in which he is held every time
/ hear him sing"
The Evening Telegram says: "Mr.
Bispham was in excellent voice and rem.
dered am all-english program with his
customary distinction. He made every
song dream"

The Junior Play.

The plans which were reported in last
weeks issue concerning the possibility of
a varsity boat race in Middlebury have
been completed and the same will be
witnessed at the Opera House Thursda y
evening, May 10, under the auspices of
the Junior class.
The annual play chosen by the present
Junior class, Zone of the Eight" is by
the author of "Half- Back Sandy which
was recently staged by the Athletic asso-
citation with so great success.
The author very cleverly carries us to
the scene of a varsity boat Nrace and we
witness all the excitement of the on
lockers and the struggles of the crews.
Altho the hypnotist, Marks, tries in every
way to break up the race and win his
bets, by exerting his amazing skill, the
climax is reached when the hero, Henry
brooks, the mainstay of the crew, breaks
his oar and to relieve the shell of his
useless weight, dives overheard and saves
his crew fromdefeat.
The play teens with witticisms and
clever dialogue and every part is sus-
tanned by the best talent of the Junior
class
