BEHIND THE SCENES.
Difficulties With Whioh,a Young Actor
Had to Struggle.

An actors life, a although often
interesting and frequently useful,
is by no means easy. When Fred
erick Warde, the English tragedian,
brought his wife and children to this
country to live with him while he
made his way here he was, after
various ups and downs, engaged by
Nj. Booth to play certain promi-
nent parts. In ''Talks In a Lii
brary" Mr.. Laurence Hutton re-
lates some Of the difficulties with
which the young actor hadsto strug-
gle.
The company, long associated
with Mr.. Booth, with the single
exception of Warde, was not as
sembled, and there could be but
one or two rehearsals before the
first performance. Warde had new
er even seen the play Of "Otheilo"
and had no idea how to dress it
a very important item to a man
who had little money to devote to
costumes.
There were, of course, profess
sional persons who could have fitted
him out from wig to sandal, but
to those he could not afford to go.
He read the tragedy many times,
studied his part till he was what is
called 'letter perfect" and at the
Astor library copied many draw
ings, colored by his own hand, of
the dresses he had to wear. These
garments and effects were made
out of the cheapest material from
his own patterns, cut and Sewed by
his wife, and for six weeks nothing
in that house was thought of or
talked about but "Othello."
The young man, realizing what
it all meant to him, was exceeding
ly anxious about the results, as
was his wife. They lived in a poor,
humble little apartment, and he
was to take a midnight train to
the scene of his great effort only a
day or two before he was to make
his debut in one of the most i'm
portant and trying parts of the
English drama.
| went to the train with him, and
just as we were starting Mrs.
Warde came down and said:
'T've just been putting the chill
dren to bed, and | must tell you
what Arthur prayed"
Arthur was then a lad not out
of his frocks. 1t seems hat the
child, kneeling by his little cot, had
gone through the regular formula,
"Our Father" Now | lay me-"
"Please, God, remember papa and
mamma and little sister and dear
grandmother in England" and had
then added, as an impromptu, 'Eand,
0 God, do please help papa through
with 'Othello.'"
| told this story at a dinner one
night, as | am trying to tell it now,
and was startled by an inquiry
from the wife OF a clergyman, who,
with wonder and doubt in her voice,
demanded, "Do you mean to tell
me that actors children say their
PRAYERS ?"

QUERIES ANSWERED
Removing Warts on a Mule

removing WdrCS Oh q NAuAO
w. H. c., Gainesville, Ca, writes: I
have a mule five or six years old with
warts scattered over him, and wish to
know what to do to take them Off.
Warts are a kind of skin tumor and o.
cur commonly in all OF the domesticated
animals, but are probably most frequent
ly observed in horses, mules and cattle.
Their cause is not known, though the
subject has been investigated very care
fully. They seem to be due to malnutri-
ton of the skin. When first developing
warts may be destroyed by applying few
drops of acetic acid. Enough should be
applied to thoroughly saturate and soften
the wart, but care should be taken IN
making the application, and only chemi-
cally pure acid should be used. II after
the wart comes off the roots have not
been destroyed, another application should
be made Where the warts are large, a
good way is to cut them off. If they bleed
at all profusely, the wound should be
seered with a hot iron.
Another method which is commonly
used with success is to tie a string
around the base of the wart. 1t should be
frightened several times, and before long
the wart will slough off. Sometimes a
rubber band is used in place of string.
Warts should be treated as soon as they
are observed, and in this way they can
frequently be controlled with compare
tive ease. These are the best methods
which we can suggest for you to use in
the treatment of your mule. We think
II you follow them carefully you can
soon free your mule Of these unsightly
knots.

thoroughly, turning it all over. OF
course, land that has been broken shall
low should not be plowed deeply all at
once The deepening process should be
a gradual one. We would pillow the land
to a good depth at the present time,
though deep blowing is probably best
done in the fall so as to epable the
freezes of winter to fine and break up
the clay brought to the surface. Deep
blowing will not inJure the soil, as many
believe. OF course, new soil, as 1t were,
brought to the surface will not contain
as much available plant food the first
season as 1t probably will later on. for
the air and rain and other physical
agents must have some time in which to
accomplish their work Of liberating the
plant food.
We feel sure you will find the use OF
the compost suggested an excellent prac-
tice to follow, and that 1t will give you
good results BY all means save all the
farmyard manure you can; 1t Is one OF
the best forms or fertilizer you can
use. 1t is probable that the difference
observed in the results T'Etained from
2-s-2 and an "a fertilizer was due IN
some measure to the fact that the soil
varied for some cause, or the nitrogen
used in the complete fertilizer, even
though small in amount, stimulated the
growth of the plants at the right time
and hence they made a more vigorous
development. OF course, we must nave

BOYS BRAIN Barred
TO CTJRE PARALYSIS

WASHINGTON, March 16.-What is
pronounced a feat in surgery was an
operation on the brain Of Russell Dulin,
a 11-year-old lad, performed at George
town hospital yesterday. The boys brain
was seriously impaired, because Of tu-
morous growth, and this produced some
thing akin to a paralytic condition.
The right lobe of the brain became at
fected more than a year ago, and the
boys left side suffered a stroke of paraly-
sis. His condition recently became dan
gerous The surgeon made an incision in
the scalp and drilled an orifce in the
bone of sufficient size to enable him to
use his forceps.
The humorous growth was removed, and
It is said, that the chfld's brain will as
sumo it's normal functions, in time be-
coming entirely healthy. If the operation
is successful the muscles and tendons o.
the childs body will relax, and he will
gain strength steadily.

MIXED FARMING AND SOIL MAINTENANCE

however, a high type OF stock farming
can only be followed on all our farms.
Let US consider, therefore. what reduc-
ton on the loss OF plant food will follow
from the pursuit OF this type OF farming
which may be practiced with success by
most tillers OF the soil.
II was found, for instance. In a mixed
OF general system OF farming that Z'6OO
pounds OF nitrogen, 1000 pounds OF ACID
phophate and 1000 pounds Of potash were
removed from the soil annually, This
was a little more than one-half as much
nitrogen and phosphoric acid and about
one-fourth as much potash as was taken
out Of the soil by an all-grain type or
farming, which corresponds. as we may
see. very closely to the cotton farming
OF the south. Mixed farming would thus
tend to solve the problem of an exhausted
soil because any farmer could AFFORD to
buy 1000 pounds OF potash, for instance.
This would only entail an annual outlay
of 5000 for a ton OF muriate Of potash.
A system OF mixed farming in which
some stock In kept and part Of the food
produced on the land is fed, and enough
of the mineral elements purchased to
maintain the soil in a proper state OF
equilibrium, therefore, offers practical
solution Of the difficulty which confronts
us at the present time. There would be
comparatively little need of purchasing
nitrogen, the most expensive element or
plant food, because legumes would pre-
dominate in the crop rotation practiced,
and the other elements, such as phosphor-
ic acid and potash, being relatively cheap
and needed in comparatively smali
amounts, could be purchased in sufhcient
quantities to maintain the soil in a highly
profitable condition for an indefinite Pc
riod of time.

why Farmers Should Hold Fairs" and
have men to lecture who can inspire ne
gro farmers and tenants to greater ef-

tins and explain their Importance. The
aim would be to encourage and direct to
a good purpose that which is now being
poorly done.
8. At each one OF the industrial schools
(for there are some fifteen OF them in
the state), organize q farmers institute
to run from one to two days, as condi-
tons might dictate. At these meetings
gather the farmers OF the surrounding

bic and get help from southern white

men who are interested in the economic
advancement Of the negro and farming
interest of the state to compose a board
Of local control. These men would help
the operators to organize the large plant

make daily or weekly reports OF their
work to this board of control and to the
department of agriculture.
In asking this we are not seeking some
that has no precedence. Provisions for
special agricultural work have already
been made in a definite and limited Sec
ton and are now in operations namely,

There are In the state Of Georgia "a, 226
farms. Sixty out OF every one hundred
of these farms are rented, and fifty out
OF every one hundred Of the. states rent
ed farms are IN the hands Of negro ten
ants. Many of these tenants move every
year and do not take proper interest in
the gardens, orchards, terraces OF prem
ises on which they live.
A large proportion OF the white land
lords do not seem to care what their ten
ants do, so as they pay their rent, and
the tenants in return do as little as they
possibly can, because they do not know
where they will be the next year. What
we need it a renting system that will be
fair to both the landlord and the tenant;
and at the same time, make the tenant
feel contented and keep the farm in a
high state Of productiveness. If these
tenants had little friendly coaching
much good would be done.
There are in the state of Georgia 1Se, 93s
negro farm laborers. The majority OF
these laborers have never seen a well ar
ranged dairy, fruit or stock farm. The
NJ e. the scooter pillow stock and cotton
are all they know. Hence they must of
necessity have a low earning power. And
what is worse, they have nothing to slim
ulhtc . 0oSlLO LUZ b0NACA hAAASo VI - 800
for the work, which the majority of them
must follow for livelihood.
There are in the state OF Georgia Is, 700
negro farm owners. These farm owners,
as a rule, do not understand diversified
farming. Many of them cannot read the
agricultural literature, hence have no
means of improving their conditions. They
want to change their system of farming
and raise their standard of living, but
they do not know how to do it. The one
crop system of cotton is all they know.
For this reason they go on growing cot
ton, buying their corn and meat from
the west and allowing the farm which
they cultivate to run down for the want
of proper information and guidance.
To remedy this condition, we wish to
offer the following: e..
(a) Let the national department of agri-
culture appoint an agricultural expert "a
negro, If possible) to work among the
negro farmers of this state.
OBJ Have this expert to carry out the
following plan:

tenn of lectures and demonstration upon
the large plantations of the state. The
lectures should be given once per month
