Queer PAGE Of History.

The most notable real tragedy re
corded in The history of the theatre
was that of the Astor Place riot, New
YORK, May 10, 1919. Edwin Forre-t,
the American tragedian, had been
treated with such hostilities in Lon
don that he had to abandon his en-
gagement in that city, although he en-
loved great success and favor in the
English provinces. The friends Of
Forrest in New York took their re-
venge on Macready, The great English
tragedisn. He was hissed from the
stage Of the Astor Place Opera House
the night of May I, ard prepared TO
return home But many New Workers
sincere admirers Of the actor, hoping
to overcome opposition, prevailed on
him to reappear three nights later in
the character Of Macbeth.
These friends, by aid of the police,
controlled the audience to the extent
that few enemies Of Macready were
admitted, but venitable mob gath
cred outside. Infuriated by their
failure to gain entrance, the hostiles
smashed every window in the theatre
and threatened to destroy it. The per-
formauee could not be given. Mac
ready, in disguise, made his exit
tn ugh the mob and reached his hotel
il safety. Meanwhile the mob and
the police eontended, but the latter
were IN danger of massacre when the
militia arrived. The crowd hooted the
reading of the the riot act by the COM
mauder of the Seventh Regiment.
Stones were hurled at the soldiers
and many Of them were seriously in
jured before they were allowed to pro-
tect themselves. When they were In
grave danger Of being overcome by the
mob, they were ordered to close col
umn, load aud fire at will. This order
was met with still more furious at
tack by the mob, but the soldiers re-
sponded in kind, and when the fight
was over there were 1870 dead and 1906
wounded. Macready almost inme-
diately returned to England. kan

IN THE sHEEPFoLD.

Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
 Feed that will keep the bowels open is the best for this time of the year. Wheat bran helps to do it.
 Sheep will make good use of about every weed that grows on the farm, except possibly, thistles and mullein, and turn them into first-class mutton
 Sheep will dig pretty close to the grass roots in the early spring if you give them a chance. They like taste of something fresh. If you feed them plenty of turnips this will satisfy their appetites.
 It is the farmer who keeps sheep for a number of years that finds them most profitable. Some years they will return a much better profit than oth- CTS and 1t is hard to sell and buy at just the right time.

Layering may be considered the connecting link between natural and artificial propagation. Many plants, such as black raspberries, grapes and others, increase naturally in this way but man has lent his aid in so many ways to this process of propagation that 1t may be considered to a certain extent artificial.
 A layer is a branch so placed In contact with the earth as to induce 1t to throw out roots and shoots, thus producing one or more independent plants, the branch meanwhile remain Ing attached to the parent plant Layering frequently proves a satisfac- tory method of multiplying woody plants which do not readily take root from cuttings. There are several methods of layering.

PREDICTS ANOTHER DRY YEAR
Rainfall In 1910 Went to the Low Rec ord of 1895, and 1911 May Be
 Even Worse.

New York.-The records of the New York weather bureau show that the year 1910 was the driest on record in thus section, with the single exception of 1895. In both these years the total precipitation was less than thirty-six inches, or about 25 per cent below normal.
 This year may be even worse, if the record of the first three months Is any indicator. For January, February and March the bureau records a shortage of nearly three inches from the nor nal rainfall, although heavy snowfalls during these months are generally counted on to swell the years total.
 The government weather sharps are inclined to think, judging from present indications and past performances that the years rainfall will be fully 10 per cent. less than last year.

ONE LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY
schooImaster, Endeavoring to Aid Pu- pills, Gets Reply From Bright Boy
 That Was Unexpected.

A schoolmaster was taking a class of boys in geography, the lesson be- ing the islands of the world. The boys were asked to give the name of any island which came to their minds, but their knowledge had reached it's limit, and the class had come to a standstill so far as islands were con cerned.
 Come, boys" said the master. "Is there no one here who can give me the name of another island?"
 But no answer came from the class.
 Nov, then" said he, ito help you little. Supposing I were piece of land, and all around (pointing) was water What island should I repre- sent?"
 The answer he expected, of course, was, "The Isle of Man" But bright boy, very eager to answer, said:
 Please, sir, the Scilly Islands"

FIT POULTRY
 FOR MARKETING
Comparative Rate of Decompoea- t3on in Drawn and Undrawn Fowls Is Shown by Cir.
 cuIax of Government.

The results of the investigations in- to the comparative rate of decomposi- ton of drawn and undrawn market poultry made by the United States de- partment of agriculture during the sea- son 1909-1910 have just been published in Chemistry Circular 70. The condi- tions of the experiment were strictly commercial, as the fowls were killed and dressed by the regular employees of a poultry packing house, were ship ped in the usual one-dozen-to-the-box package in a car-lot of dressed poultry, were received by a wholesaler and handled with his stock, and went to the retailer when he purchased fowls from the same car-lot, remaining in his shop for the period which the mar ket happened to require for their sale.
 The shipments extended over pe- riod of six months, from January to June, inclusive, and the haul was about 1,700 miles requiring on the average of 71a days. The birds were mature hens, large and fairly fat, and the method of killing was by bleeding through the mouth and puncturing the brain through the skull just below the eye. The carcasses were dressed ac- cording to methods known respective ly as full drawn" wire drawn" Boston drawn" and some are un-

BETTER POULTRY BEING KEPT
People All Over Country Paying More Attention to Pure Bred Stock
 In Their Chicken Yards.

All over the country people are keeping better poultry than they did few years ago. They have found that better hens and other poultry pay bet ter with the same amount of feed and care than do mongrels. On some farms mongrel focks may be found, but on most farms at least good male breed ing birds are kept and mated with common stock, so that the ordinary flock now shows distinctive qualities in some direction.
 It is rather common now for one farmer to ask another what kind of chickens he is raising just as he would ask about his special breed of hogs or sheep. The average man has come to consider himself not much of a poultry raiser if he cannot at least boast of pure bred roosters of some common strain.
 One reSHon why more farmers do not have better breeds of poultry is be- cause the matching and breeding sea- son comes in their busiest time of the year. Yet many farmers are beginning to realize that there is good profit in working with their poultry part of the time, as there is with other live stock and with field crops.
 They now take some time to feed and care for poultry and to make crops and other things for the requirements of the growing stock. The time is fast coming when most farmers will grow as good quality of poultry as people in other lines of work

COMPARE FODDER AND SILAGE
Experiments Carried on at Indiana Station Shows Waste of 20 to 35
 Per Cent. In Former.

Frequently one hears the complaint that the hard work incident to filling a silo far outbalances the superiority of ensilage over dry fodder. They claim that dry fodder is good enough and that although the cattle do not eat all of it they eat that which con tains the most nourishment. It is readily conceded fact that there will be waste in connection with fodder even in its best form.
 The Indiana experiment station has shown that this waste varies from twenty to thirty-five per cent The same authority tells us that cattle will consume all of the silage if 1t IS not fed in excessive quantities. Fur Jher than this, the silage goes to them in the shape that provides sue culent feed most nearly supplementing the condition of pasture. It is gen orally accepted that the dairy COW does best when upon fresh grass Granted that this is the case, the more nearly your can produce fresh grass conditions the better will be your re- turns and the more profitable dairy ing will be.
 After all, when you come to figure the work of shocking corn, drawing It to the shredder, putting the grain in the crib and shredded fodder In the now, there is little difference between the work necessary for filling the silo and getting the dry feed ready for feeding.
 There is another point to be taken into consideration and that is the fact that the grain in the silage Is all ready for feeding without grinding. If the grain is to be fed in connection with the shredded fodder, 1t will be necessary to grind or chop it at least This task is saved by the silo.

drawn, all being dry picked. and the eYisceration was conducted with suf1- cient care to render washing unneces- sary.
 The routine of dressing, packing and shipping, and general handling in these experiments Is far above the av- craze. In fact if all market poultry should be handled so well, the prob lem of decay would become insigni1- cant
 The Investigations which are de- scribed in detail in the pamphlet dem onstrate CD undrawn poultry decom- poses more slowly than does poultry which has been either wholly or part ly eviscerated; (2) full drawn" pouI- try; completely eviscerated with head and feet removed decomposes the most rapidly; (3) Boston drawn" and wire drawn" stand midway between the undYawn and full drawn" in speed of decomposition-the wire drawn" l" which ia most like the undrawn being usually the better; and (D that these deductions apply to dry picked, dry chilled, dry packed, unwashed fowls, which have been marketed with what would be called promptness.
 The effect of different methods of dressing in case of delayed marketing is now under investigation.

What to Plant.

As to what to plant, that depends upon climate and soil and whether the garden is for all the year round or merely for summer and autumn. says Frances Duncan in the Century. If the place be lived in during the win ter. then a hedgelike thorn, with its gay scarlet berries, few evergreens marking important points, and edgings of dwarf evergreens or box will give no small amount of cheer and empha- size the fact that the garden is not dead, but sleeping.

ROOTS SERVE
 TWO PURPOSES
They Not Only Drink Up Dass0Iv0A Foods, but Also Serve to Hold Plant in Fixed Position
 Strong in a Way.
By H. H. sHEPARD.)

Roots serve two purposes for the plant. They not only drink up dis solved foods, but also serve to hold the plant in a fixed position.
 The older and larger the plant grows the more roots 1t needs to se- curely hold it in place and to fully satisfy it's drinking needs.
 All of the roots of a plant help to hold 1t in place, but the youngest and finest roots do the drinking.
 These young, fine roots are called feeding roots. They grow out in all directions in the moist soil in search of food for the plant.
 At the end of each tiny feeding root is little cap resembling the finger of a glove. The function of this little root cap is to protect the tender root let as 1t pushes it's way through hard bits of soil.
 Although young and apparently tender, these feeding roots are very strong in a way.
 Through the power of expansive growth, they are able ot push slowly through the very hard soil, and even penetrate some rocks, bursting them into pieces.
 With large plants, such as trees they penetrate very deep down into the ground where the soil is always moist. but always as hard as rock

eIa.s MaII. In EruIt cuIture.

Fruit culturists abroad have recent ly essayed the use of fruit walls of glass instead of masonry, with inter esting results. With glass wall the same kinds of fruit can be grown on both the north and south sides. The results in the case of pear trees are said to be most excellent, the fruit grown on the north side of the wall being equal to that grown on the south side. and even smoother. Good results have also been obtained in the case of peaches and apples. The prin- cipal objection made to the glass wall. says the Scientific American. is that it does not store up heat like ma sorry wall, to keep the plants warm at night; during the daytime the heat Is nearly equal on both sides of the wall.
