THE PASSION PLAY.
Prepar ations Indicate That 1t Will Be
Most Vivid


The preparations for the Passion play
at Oberammergau, which draws so many
visitors from America and from all over
the world go on with increasing haste
and industry. As every one knows, the
Passion play is given once in ten years.
and will be repeated in all its realism
next year, perhaps more wildly than
ever before The committeeman in
charge of the production have been busy
for two years, laying plans and carrying
them out although their most active du-
ties do not begin until 1910. The theater
and auditorium have been enlarged.
Three streets leading to the theater and
the square before it have been widened
at great expense to accommodate the ex-
pected throngs. Under the direction of
the stage manager, costume makers
have completed stage dresses whose cost
amounts already to $1,000. Demands for
photographs of the performers and
scenes come from everywhere, so pho
tographic studio has been added to the
theater Under the auditorium an ambu-
lance station has been fitted up. 1t will
accommodate surgeon in charge, seven
nurses and seven members of the ambu-
lance corps. Next to this a room for a
fire brigade of twenty-One men has been
prepared. Although the performance is
given in full daylight, with little dan
ger from fire, complete apparatus has
been prepared New scenery is being
painted by many artists. In fact the
next performance will be most elabo-

why Boys Leave the Farm.

An Official connected with an eastern
agricultural college has made sum-
mary Of the reasons given by 155 sons
Of farmers for abandoning the pursuit
OF their fathers. Sixty-two of this
number said that farming does not
pay A strong argument can be made
on the idea that it pays better than
other forms of business. The secretary
of agriculture has stated that the
products of the soil in this country in
1905 reached value of $4,000, 600, 900,
which Is good deal of wealth to d.
vide UP as reward in one industry.
Seventeen of the young men said the
hours of labor on the farm are too
long. No doubt they meant at certain
seasons, but this is a detail open to
adjustment. Twenty six thought So
cial advantages on the farms are not
equal to those in cities, which is also
matter IF opinion. Sixteen said they
had NJ tural bent for something else,
which is a point that deserves consid-
Grafton always. Others objected to
farm monotony, and fifteen said they
would return to farming as soon as
they made a pile of money at some
thing else.
Many of these young men are the
victims of illusion, and, unfortunately,
of a kind durable only by experience.
Probably they are not aware that 90
per cent Of those who branch out into
general business fail to accumulate
any considerable wealth, while the pos
tive wreckage in means, health and
comfort Is large. A farm Is never mo-
notonous to a good farmer. 1t is
rather a book of fresh interest each
succeeding day. A surplus at the end
of year Is the rule on the farm; in
the city surplus is the exception, and
the style Of family living, on the
whole, is in favor of the country. But
statistics show that plenty Of boys re-
main on the farms. The farming popu-
alton Of the United States in 1900 was
four times as large as in 1850, and the
value Of their property increased five
fold, or from $4,000, O00, 600 to 100000
600.

l have noticed one thing in partic-
ular while travelling In some of our
best agricultural states, and that is,
when 1 see a number of well dressed
farmers discussing beef and milk ra-
lions, feeding young animals for a
healthy development, nitrogen, potas-
SUM and phosphorus and their func-
tions in plant growth and protein and
carbohydrates and their functions in
animal growth, / am invariably in a
prosperous and up-to-date community.
Now, the question is, do the best and
most intelligent farmers read their
bulletins and keep in touch with their
station workers and read the agri-
cultural press, or does the reading Of
these bulletins and agricultural papers
make more intelligent farmers? 1t is
one or the other considered from either
standpoint, for these bulletins and
agricultural papers are not read by the
poor and uneducated class of farmers,
neither do they circulate as freely
among the poorer farmers as they do
among the farmers in the better agri-
cultural communities. - Agricultural

Breeding Swine.

In breeding swine or live stock of
any kind the breeder should have a
well defined object in view, a point to-
ward which to work, type, an ideal,
If you will, well fixed in his mind.
All hogs of the same breed are not
alike, and it is this fact that makes
Improvement of any breed possible.
There are different types of the same
breed for the breeder to select from,
and the intelligence. and judgment used
in the selection Of the animals re-
served for breeders will sooner or later
demonstrate the success or failure Of
the breeder. OF course, methods Of
feeding and care cut an important fig
ure. Many men who are good feeders
OF swine are very poor breeders, but
few good breeders are poor feeders.
The tendency of all our improved
animals Is to revert backward toward
the original type, and In the case OF
swine 1t should be borne in mind that
while there is no stock that can be 80
rapidly improved by judicious selec-
ton, care and feed, there is none that
will degenerate so quickly under neg

Vitality of Seeds.

The period for which the seeds of
different plants maintains their vital
ity varies good deal. The seeds of
some vegetables are worthless after
they are two years old, while the seeds
of other plants improve with age I'M
til certain period. For instance: the
seeds Of artichokes are good until they
are three years old; asparagus, four
years; beans, two years; kidney beans,
one year; beets. ten years: broccoli.
four years; cabbage, four years: car
rot, one year; cauliflower, four years:
celery, ten years; corn, three years :.
cucumber, ten years; egg plant. three

Scab I'm Sheen.

The disease commonly called sheep
scab is one of the oldest known, most
prevalent and most injurious maladies
which affect sheep. 1t is contagious
skin disease caused by parasitic mite.
Investigation has shown that the dis
ease is not hereditary, as the parasites
which cause it live on the external sur
face Of the body. 1t is possible, how
ever, for lamb to become infected
from scabby mother at the moment
of birth or Immediately thereafter. The
treatment must consist OF external
cures to purify the blood." Proper
hygienic conditions alone, though of
Importance in connection with the sub
ject of treatment, cannot be relied
upon to cure scab. The only rational
treatment consists in using some ex-
ternal application which will kill the
parasites. BY far the most rational
and satisfactory and the cheapest
method of curing scab is by dipping
the sheep in some liquid which will
kill the parasites.

Hints About the Home.

Windows may be kept from icing by
rubbing glass with a sponge dipped

For a change try putting dozen
chopped raisins in boiled frosting,
adding them just before spreading on
the cake.
If the lamp wick moves up and down
with difficulty, simple remedy is to
pull out a few threads at either side
of the wick.
Turpentine should be sprayed or

A clean fire for grilling purposes
can be obtained by sprinkling over

used by all first class chefs and grill
cooks.
Parafin used on the tops of pre-
serve glasses can be saved until the
next season by washing in cold water
and putting in tin box with an air

Old pie pans that are too battered
for. ordinary use can be stood in the
bottom of the kettle closet to hold the
kettles. This prevents blackening of
the floor.
To prevent rust on polished steel,
dissolve one ounce of bleached shell
lac In one pint and one-ffth Of spirit

a flowing coat of this lacquer
Carpets should be beaten on the
wrong side first and then, more gently,
on the right. Never put carpet
down on a damp floor, for this often
results in the carpet becoming mil
dewed.
To remove the bitter taste from
cooked cranberries before taking from

siIo Feeding.

Not only must the silo be erected,
shelter must be provided for the cat
tie during winter Then If corn is
fed in the form of .silage there will be
successful results. A great many
farms buy stock cattle in the fall of
the year, turn them into stalk fields
and resell them toward spring as feed
ers. If the market is normal there will
usually be profit, but it. nevertheless.
is a wasteful practice. A much greater
profit would be secured from silo feed
