Diamonds and Grand Opera.
From the Omaha Bee.


The country Is one step nearer the
solution of the grand opera problem,
led thither by one of the managers of
this department of the amusement en-
terprice. Il never saw more diamonds
and precious stones flashing in my life
than in st. Paul. That city ought to
have a week of grand opera
Musical taste and artistic tempera-
ment what boots it? Both are vindi-
Gated. Where diamonds shine and pre-
cious stones flash there grand opera
should thrive. BY adding one more
proposition it becomes a syllogism. At
any rate the logic is complete. st.
Paul is far famed for its talent for
music What of it. Though 1T have
prodigious love for music and have
not diamonds and precious stones. it
has become as sounding brass and tin
king cymbai--at the box Office. This
is no time for classics. Art is old

temperament. Let's see your gems
how they glitter.

A Doc and a Bum.

In a vacant lot at the corner OF
Eleventh and Larimer streets was an
old white dog that wasn't we'll. He
crawled over near a billboard and lay
down. Lots Of people saw him, but
nobody paid any attention to him un.
til a trampish-looking fellow came
along. He was Hard Tines per.

the dog.
What's the matter. old boy?" he
asked. "Sick?"
The dog seemed to appreciate the
uncouth ones attentions. The man
petted him a little more.
Wait, I'll get you a drink" he said.
He went to a saloon near by and
returned with a tin basin full of wa.

water and the man poured the rest

SiIage for Steers.

The use of silage for f~attening beef
cattle has been tested at a number OF
experiment stations and by stockmen
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer in 1904, It
was found that silage-fed steers sold
at $4.95 per 100 pounds. while those
fed no silage brought only $4.7O per
100 pounds. a gain of 25 INT in favor
of the silage-fed animals. II was
found that for every 100 pounds Of
gain. All pounds Of silage-fed saved
IS pounds Of grain and 1876 pounds
of alfalfa.
In these tests silage was fed in con.
nection with alfalfa hay, corr chop.
kafir corn chop, and cottonseed meal.
The average soil, In unusual seasons,
will produce IL to Is tons OF green
corn per acre. Even with a yield of
10 tons per acre, there is an income,
according to this experiment, OF
about $33 per acre.
The financial statement Of this ex-
pertinent showed that the silage-fed
steers made a profit of $4.10 per head.

funny story by the host the poet fell
off his chair in a paroxysm Of mirth.
Irish thought the poet had a seizure

stuck the top of it into Miller's mouth,
hoping to revive him.
Presently Miller waved his hands
feebly and Irish removed the bottle.

quite clear that the domestic type Of

care to outrage his belief in me. So I
took the cook book into the pantry
and read the recipe over three times.
When | came back I knew 1t by heart,
although | did not understand It.

great deal of dignity, "and since you

Fine" he said. Suppose you give

queer, still in parts of our evening

tiEALTHIEST FOOD FOR HOGS

The most economical as we'll as
the healthiest food for brood sows is
wheat bran and crushed oats made
into a thick slop-they should have
all they will eat with a relish. Give
a dry, roomy yard to exercise in. An
animal, especially a brood SOW, can
not be kept in health when shut in a
dirty pen and a small yard filled with
slush and mud. Give once a week to
each one shovelful of a mixture of one

II pint of salt and one pint Of sui
phur. Mix these we'll together, keep
in covered box where it can be kept
dry, This Is an excellent tonic for
keeping the blood pure and the ami

the place of the ashes. If roots and
cabbage cannot be had, and grass
pasture cannot be given, cut up a few
grass sods and throw into the yard.
The grass roots will take the place of

Have the pens clean and dry. The

Do not put too many pigs in one pen
The younger and weaker ones should
be placed in a pen by themselves and
fed a little extra millfeed slop. Bed
with cut straw or leaves. The feeding
and care of the stock should be done
by the farmer and not left to boys or
