IL is a relief when all is over to meet
the unsubtle and ever committal impre-
sario padding his own canoe in the
backwaters OF the Manhattan Opera
House. He chats briefly, not merely as
a guarantee of good faith but for publi-
cation purposes He has spent $4,000
for the rights OF -Elektra" and he will
not deny the public their rights at adver-
tised rates. He has talked of art in the
past. art in capitals. and he talks on the
same subject now. but refers to her
younger sisters, public purse and future
policy.
He has, as he says. plunged like gen.
tlemanly sport. The rules of the union
deny the right TO hold more than one
orchestral rehearsal a day, and the two
months of "Elektra- prehminaries have
been conducted under tremendous diff
ficulties. He is not elated by the first

refuses to prophesy although the famous

(BY - c. MILLER)
A farmer inlsouthern Illinois said a
short time agd;

In the lighEtf modern days this
question is fb1ly answered. The
farmer Who FeN Nps on year, after year,

is just like drawing money from ones

Cattle feeding and growing should
be followed in one or more of its
branches cil every farm where diversi-
aed farming is followed and for the
majority Of farmers dairying viii prove
more profitable than beef growing.
Next to cattle, sheep should always
occupy place on the farm.
a flock of about fifty sheep is the
limit for profit where other stock is

any ether kind of live stock, the profits
depend upon the care and feed. For

Hogs may be regarded as an adjlnct
to the dairy and corn crop. There Is
no special attribute about the hog thas
makes him fayorit9. TIE farmer
should not keep more hogs than ca1
be well fed, for they are heavy feeders
and an expensive animal to keep,
especially when they ere not making
satisfactory gains.
The growing Of horses IS profitable,
though it has been marked by more
blunders than any other branch Of
stock growing and breeding. The
American farmer as rule regards
only the appearance of the animal in
selecting a sire or dam. The dam IS
seldom selected for breeding pur-
poses, but is usually bred as a matter
of convenience. The pedigree OF the
sire is usually made up by the groom
and contains all of the names OF
famous horses which he has ever
heard of, whether the sire contains
any of their blood or not.
This is the rule rather than the eN
ception in most all farming sections
The farmer as a rule feels that ne
cannot afford to attempt the raising
of blooded horses, and he is right but

judgment in selecting large, we'll
