Mrs. Craig as Minerva.

The announcement that Mrs.
Charles G. Craig would have a part
in Thomas Dixon's new drama. The
Sins of the Father" has interested
many. 1t will now add greatly to
their pleasure to know that the role
of Minerva in which Mrs. Craig viii
be seen, is a decided novelty in
black-face types. Instead of the CON
ventional nanny or the shrewish
darkey of previous plays, Minerva
is big, whole-souled, jolly negresa,
the kind that gets you at the start
and makes you grin and chortle
whenever you are near her. Minerva
always wins. She is quite over
whelming. Those who saw Mrs. Craig
in New York in THE Clansman
and 1.-The Warrens of Virginia, can
imagine her unctuous handling OF
such character. The actress
was clever dialect reader before
she went on the stage-is the high
est salaried impersonator OF negro
female types in this Country. She is
writing book about the darkey
folklore and dialect, and hopes to
accumulate considerable material
for it in the course of her trip
soush Mrs. Craig is member of
The Sins of the Father company

is the star Shelton theatre tonight.

Substitute for Bordeaux.

"Lime-Sulphur as a Summer Spray"
new bulletin ready for distribution
from the New York State College of
Agriculture, contains a clean-cut sum-
mary. with a brief discussion of the
results, obtained by Errett Wallace.
They indicate that lime-sulphur is an
efficient substitute for bordeaux in the
control of apple scab. Some of the
important points brought out are:
Lime-sulphur will control the apple
scab in wet season, as we'll as in a dry
one. A dilution Of lao Of a concen-
trate testing SO degrees Beaume with
two pounds arsenate Of lead is about
right for the apple scab. Arsenate of
lead increases the fungicidal value of
lime sulphur by so per cent. The fun
gicidal value Of sediment in lime-sul-
phur depends upon magnesium oxide
content. The bulletin will be sent only
to New York farmers sufficiently in
terested to make a special request.

He who plants a fruit tree pro
fesses his faith. II Is as II he should
say: l believe.

Illness OF his universe.
l believe in the regular procession
OF the seasons-spring and summer
and autumn and winter.

youth and winter
l believe In the unfailing order Of
blossom-time and fruit-time.
l believe in the permanence OF hu-
man needs.
l believe in the perpetuity of human
institutions.

Mother Earth. whose promise of food
for her faithful children is a pledge
that will not fail

And in this abiding faith I work.
In this faith | plant this tree.
In this faith l dig about its roots
and nourish it,
In this faith l will protect 1t from
yermin and disease
In this faith | will wait for the early
and the latter rain.
In the faith l will guard the bios
som and the green fruit
In this faith l will watch for the
first blush Of the ripening peach and
the early tints Of the maturing apple.
In this faith I will gather the first
fruits with a thankful heart.

on the outside is nailed a piece OF
strap or iron with holes in the end for
hitching the tugs. An old leather har-

will not last 50 long. A singletree of
this kind should be made just wide
enough so a horse can walk between
