Chicaro secs the snendthrift.

Chicago had her Introduction this
week at the Chicago Opera House to
Emerson Brownies "The Spend
thrift" which comes to the Kentucky
Tuesday night. -.
Percy Hammond, writing in the
Tribune, said OF IL:
/ Such entertainment and instrue-
ton as "The Spendthrift" has to
offer will not be confined. probably,
to those who do not make a habit Of
going TO the theater.
Mondays audience was enthuslas-
tically inclined and everything that
was said and done had the hearty
sanction of the great applause char
acteristic OF a Chicago premiere.
The spendthrift is lady of ex-
travagant inclinations with a hus-
band financially incompetent TO cope
with them. She is one of those stage
society women with a tiara" a
'boudoir." and many "puffs." She
eats what she calls ''bon bons" and
pronounces here in five syllables.

FHEATRICAL ROTES 8


After she has forced her husband TO
the edge of bankruptcy she borrows
100000 from hopefully amorous
man friend. thus precipitating a
Ithrobbing crisis in the next act.
For 1t is there In the ''boudolr"
that the married husband OF the
|spendthrift oonfronts her in the Sc
'pulchral person OF Mr. Edmund
Breese and accuses her OF disposing
of herself for $40, 900. He forces her
TO telephone to the canal phiian-
thropist and invite him to visit her
in the boudoir. The gentleman ar
rives In "faultless evening attire"
for an adventure. The
husband assails him with arguments
and epigrams, and though the visitor
disavows anything In the way Of an
achievement. the act closes In a
whirlwind OF Indignation and both
men leave the distraught lady pros
trate upon the floor in her night
dress, contemplating the sweet uses
of frugality.
To point the moral and adorn the
tale the final episode transp!res with
the spendthrift nobiy inhahng an at
mosphere Of penury, and liking II.
She has become n governess and for
five months has patiently born the
burden OF misunderstanding and re-

Co.operation In Denmark.

In an address before the Crookston
School of Agriculture, Prof. BOeggild
thus strikingly stated the results of CO.
operation in the dairy industry of Den
mark:
Incorporation in Denmark has result
cd in a wonderful increase in the pro-
ductiveness of each cow, and the product
has been marketed at a very low cost.
Through cooperative methods the pro-
ducer gets more for his product than he
formerly did, and the consumer gets it
for less, because of the saving in hand
ling. All milk goes to the creameries
and Is handled through them. Practical,
ly ell the milk is pasteurized.
twenty-five years ago the value OF
the dairy products exported from Den.
mark was $1,000, 900, while now 1t is
S55, ,OOO, 900, with England the chief
buyer. They also export annually S2S.'
OOO, 900 worth of bacon raised from the
separated milk.
1.-THE export of eggs, started in 1895,
now amounts to $1,000, 900 every year
with the industry increasing steadily
This is all the result of cooperation ir
production and in marketing the prod
ducts raised in the best manner to gel
high prices and keep down the cost OF
marketing. BY individual efforts II
would not be possible to get the results
obtained by cooperation in Denmark
during the past twelve years. All the
CO. operative creameries belong to large
central association, and the whole CO
| operative system is protected and en-
forced by wise government legislation
The cooperative system also extends II
other directions. They have co-opera
tive stores, insurance hospitals for farm
ers' families, for importing cattle, foods
etc. All these cooperative associations
are banded together by central system
aud are thus more closely connected.
"The whole dairy system Of Denmark
has been brought down to such fins
point that now It takes only ~ cents
worth of foodstuffs to produce a pount
of butter, where It was formerly neare
so cents. This was all accomplished 81

1ha Elaa of Denmark.

In the year 1910 King Waldemar OF
Denmark, when leading his troops to
battle against the Livonians, saw, or
thought he saw, bright light In the
form Of a cross in the sky. He held
this appearance to be a promise OF
divine aid and pressed forward to VIC
tory. From this time he had the
cross placed on the flag Of his country
and called 1t the Dannebrog-that is,
the strength Of Denmark. Aside from
legend there is no doubt that this flag
with the cross was adopted by Den
mark in the thirteenth century and that
at about the same date an order,
known as the order Of Dannebrog, was
instituted, to which only soldiers and
sailors who were distinguished for
courage were allowed to belong. The
flag of Denmark, plain red banner
bearing on 1t a white cross, is the old
est flag now In existence. For 300
years both Norway and Sweden were
united with Denmark under this dag.

The Cost of Feeding Heifers,

How much does il cost dairyman to
bring a heifer To a producing age? AS
result of experiments 1907 to 1909, the
Connecticut station, in Bulletin No. 6S,
concludes that two year old heifer
costs in the neighborhood of $40. At
the Connecticut station the calves were
fed according to the most approved
methods. The cost Of feeding for the
two years was S55. During the first
month the heifers received whole milk,
and thereafter, for The next six months,
they got SKINNED milk. At the begin
ming of the second month, and continu-
ing until pasture was good, they got in
the neighborhood of pound OF grain
day, with little hay and enSilage. 1t
was found at the Connecticut station
that it paid during the first summer OF n
heifer's life 10 feed a pound or so OF
grain day, even on pasture, unless the
pastures were extremely good. An in-
creased size of the heifer more than PAID
for the cost. During the first winter OF
a heifer's life she was fed from two to
three pounds of corn a day, besides
roughage aud silage. 1t was found that
il paid we'll to push heifers to certain
extent during the first two years
growth, in order to be able to breed
them to drop their first calves when they
were from twenty-four to twenty-seven
months of age.
