BIG VAUDEVILLE SHOW FREE.
Interstate Live Stock Fair to Fur
nish Attractions Which Really
Are Worth While.

The average price of admission to a
good vaudeville show is Is cents. The
admission fee to the Interstate Fair
grounds in Sioux City is SO cents.
For this one price Of admission a
person may see not only a great live
stock fair, which of itself is worth the
price paid, but there are a Thousand
and one exhibits of interest. On top
of all this there is a vaudeville show
far better than is presented in the
average bill of any vaudeville house
in the country.
The bill this year consists of six
acts comprising twenty-five perform
ers. One of these acts has not yet
been shown in the United States. 1t
is by the Five Parrel Sisters, gymnasts
who will not arrive from Europe until
August.
The Six Abdallahs produce another
European act. These six
men are notable among the acrobatic
performers of the world.
The Three Macarte Sisters do a
high wire and trapeze act. They will
be followed by the original Borsinis
troupe in an equilibristic novelty;
the flexible Venus" who does some
startling posing: and, finally, an act
by two young women who have made
a life study of physical culture.

Early Fall Flowing.

In sections where small grain crops
have been light and the harvest has
been completed with comparatively
little labor, there will be more time
than usual for fall blowing, and the
work can be begun early. Flowing in
July, il followed by subsequent disc
ing and working of the surface, is al
most equal to regular summer tillage
as practiced in semi-arid sections.
On weedy ground early fall blowing
is OF special value. and the utmost
effort should be made to get the work
done as soon as practicable. Dry farm
ers have taught all other farmers
valuable lessons in recent years. They
have not only demonstrated the
great value Of summer tillage as a
means of destroying weeds. but also
that large quantities of soil moisture
can thereby be conserved and be car
ried over from one year to another.
During 1907 and 1908, for example,
at one of the Nebraska experiment.
stations, located at North Platte, it
was shown that summer tillage stored
an amount Of moisture equal to Is per
cent of the soil in the upper six feet.
This, according to the station esti-
mate, was equal to IA inches Of rain.
All water in a given soil cannot be
utilized by crops. At North Platte,
conditions are such that when the
soil water gets below seven per cent,
crops cannot utilize it. With this as
a basis for calculation, therefore,
from the ID per cent stored during
the summer season, eight per cent
was available for crops 'and would,
even in a very dry year, be sufficient
for a good crop of winter wheat.
We have frequently heard farmers
remark this aso that while surface
tillage might be an excellent means
for storing water, yet when the soil is
dry and nc water comes from above

Pasteurized Cheese Uniform in Quality

Pasteurized Cheese Uniform in Quality
During the past year the dairy de-
partment Of the Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture has manufactured cheddar
cheese from pasteurized milk The
early experiments in this direction
were quite unsuccessful, but more re.
Gently, the method of handling curds
made from milk heated in a "continu-
Gus flow" pasteurizer to 1875 degrees
has been 50 improved by Prof. j, l..
Sammis, that excellent results have
been secured. The cheese made has
been very uniform in quality, Of a
clean mild flavor, and an almost per-
feet texture. During the past sum.
mer such cheese has been sold under
ordinary commercial conditions to
test its keeping quality. The process
Of pasteurizing destroys the great ma
jority of organisms in the milk, so
that the addition of properly selected
pure cultures gives degree of uni
formity with reference to the types
Of organisms present that renders
conditions much more uniform than
with the old process.

pounds of gain. The 5S pounds OF
grain, plus 31.S pounds of butter fat,
is equivalent to 1872 pounds of grain,
or Ga pounds of grain is equivalent to
31.S pounds of butter fat, which
means that two pounds of grain when
fed with the proper amount of skim
milk is equivalent for calf feeding to
one pound of butter fat. With but
ctr fat at % cents per pound, 100
pounds of grain will take the place of
$3.50 worth of butter fat, and at 80
cents, s15 worth Of butter fat
There is also little or no danger of
the calf fed skim milk eating too
much grain. The young calf makes
better gains for grain consumed than
the older calf, which is an additional
reason for giving it all it will eat
Limiting the grain ration causes a
loss in gain and is seldom to be rec.
commended.

Methods of Rhubarb Forcing

In forcing this crop, the chief diff
Guilty is to secure suitable roots, az
those once used are no longer Of
value. After several years of expert
mental work at the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture a method has been
developed which has proven success
full. The seed Is sown broadcast in
August, in small plats under the cold
frame. They are mulched to carry
them through the winter and trans
planted In spring into rows so as to
permit of horse cultivation. Oneyear-
old roots have been found to be suit
able for forcing, although the age at
which to secure best results is yet a
matter for further trial. This method
is found to give better termination,
to economic on use of land and to
produce stronger plants in one years
time.
