Two Merry Tramps.

Of 1.-TWO Merry Tramps" many
pleasing things have been said by the
critics, not only in the larger cities but
in the night stands as we'll during the
past season where ''Two Merry
Tramps" have been presented, about
Wood & Wards production. The play
being strictly musical comedy with
three acts and beyy of pretty girls.
The title of the piece is somewhat
misleading, but it is only the title, for
from the rise to the fall of the curtain
it is just one of the cleanest, jolliest
and liveliest comedies that has enlivened
the musical field. Never for an instant
does it bring blush, but instead brings
laughter that is irrepressible. For the
past eight seasons it has played to
packed houses in the middle West and
appeals to the elite of fashion and all
that is refined. The comedy is natural,
the music catchy, the, scenery magnif-
cent, the costumes gorgeous and the
cast all that is desired.
Wood & Ward have carefully select
ed their company for his or her ability,
among the members will be found Miss
Bessie Bennett, Margaret Mcdonald,
Corrinne Mcdonald. Jenette Irwin,
Mamie Epps who are playing feminine
roles.

DIFFERENCE IN DRY FARMS
Successful on Different Kinds Of Soil,
That of Sandy Variety Being
Easiest to Handle.

Dry farming, has been successful on
various types of soil, both light and
heavy. Sandy soils are more easily
handled, make better surface mulch
and do not puddle as readily as clays
or clay loans. Their capacity for
holding moisture Is much smaller than
that of heavy soils, yet they give UP
to crops quite as much water Crops
may reduce the moisture contents IN
sandy soil from 26 to II per cent.
Light soils have not as strong capil.
larity as the heavy types. In very
fine soil capillary attraction may

or more, while In a sandy soil mois.
ture may not rise more than foot or
two, the distance depending upon the
degree of fineness. Soils may be SO
porous as to allow water to percolate
through them and be lost by under
drainage which would be a disadvan
tage. Heavy soils are somewhat diff
ficult to handle. They can not be
worked when at all wet and must be
taken when just right. AS a general
thing the heavier soils are the more
productive. Sandy soils are warmer
and quicker and lend themselves
more readily to cultivation to con
serve moisture.

Is true that there is much more la

the British farmer, 1922 bushels; the
Dutch and Danish, more than sc
bushels: but the American farmer
with superior soil, is content with

in yield is due simply to the difference
in methods. 1t is not for more
work that scientific soil culture stands

more intelligent labor.

The remarkable thing about 1t is
that there are separate entrances to
these two post offices, they have the

Value of Orchard.

The value of the farm orchard and
berry patch to the farm family can
scarcely be overestimated. We are
not strictly vegetarian, either by ma
ture or by habit, yet 1t is a serious
fact that all Americans eat too much
meat for their best health, beauty and
mental vigor. Regular and heavy
meat diets clog the system, impeding
free circulation of vital fluids and
making the mind sluggish. Fruits
carrying high content of digestive
juices make digestion easy and nutri-
tion complete; they clear the system
of impurities, keep the skin open and
complexion fresh and make the mind
keen and active. Every good farmer
sees to it that the home orchard pro
duces enough fruit for home use and
for sale. The utility and beauty of
the farm orchard make it worthy of
the best attention, and it makes the
farm a picture worth looking at
