In turning the dairy cow on to pns-
ture 1t Is well to keep In mind the fact
that while the new grass is juicy and
sweet 1t has little body and a low per
cent of food nutrients. For this rea-
son the grass ration should be supple
mented. for time at least. with silage
and clover or alfalfa and some grain.
In the case of heavy mixers 1t Is well
to feed some grain throughout the pas
ture season.

Ailments and Remedies.

Thumps is an ailment so common
to young pigs that knowledge of

courted by every breeder. The
spasmodic jerking of the hanks is
SO severe at times as to move the
body to and fro. There is usually
a arrangement of the digestive Or

to over-feeding and lack of exer-
else. If you own swine that are,
afflicted with thumps generation
after geenration, it will be we'll to

To cure case that is we'll seated
is difficult, and no. medicine need
be used except to give each sufferer
a half-ounce of caster-oil, once, as a
purge, and one grain of digitalis
three times day as q sedative.
Let the pigs have a sunny place to
lie, and induce activity as much as
possible by having this shed some
distance from the SOW or place of
feeding.

The annual fiasco of free distribu-

many constituents the country over
has been pulled off within the past
two or three weeks. If seeds OF really
new and valuable vegetables were
sent out In this widespread distribuS

ruse for the practice, but when the
xame old stuff Is sent out year after
year. some varieties tracing their or
.igin back as far as 1873. and with
their terminating quality often poor.
there would seem to be absolutely no
argument in favor of the practice.
Perhaps the belief Is entertained by
some gullihle congressman that the
bestowal of these free seeds imposes
a courtesy obligation which 1t is sup

NEW THEATRE OPEN NEXT WEEK
Majestic One of the Handsomest
Picture Houses in the Country

MaleSuc One OF the HandSOmeSt
Picture Houses in the Country
When the new moving picture
theatre to be known as the Majestic
is opened at Seventh and Market
streets next week on the site where
once stood St. Paurs NJ e. Church,
this city will have one of the finest
picture houses to be found in the
country. The new building has grown
like a mushroom, work on it having
been started but a little over two
months ago.
The new playhouse is owned by the
Wilmington Stores Company of which
Charles Topkis is president. The
exterior of the structure Is of iron
and brick with five double doors for
exits and over he entrances is a
large glass marquis. Directly inside
the doors is the logia with its marble
sides and tile flooring and ornamental
plastering on the ceiling. Large wide
stairways extend up each side to the
balcony. Directly under the logia in
the basement are located the toilets.
The floor of the parquet is sanitary
being of concrete.
In the rear of the theatre is tho
stage which is four feet from tho
floor and the orchestra pit is one foot
lower than the floor On the walls is
ornamental plastering studded with
electric lights. On either side and in
the rear are located exits in case of
emergency. What promises to be a
feature is the screen which will be
arranged so that in case it is desired
it can be removed for vaudeville
purposes.
Three large ventilators are arrang-
ed in the ceiling and they are sur
rounded by clusters of electric lights.
The ceiling will be green and
rich gray. The office will be on the
second floor and above the managers
room will be a fire proof operators
room. The new building will be op-
ened tomorrow week.
The new theatre will be managed
by Henry R. Jodoin, who is interested
in moving picture houses in Massa-
chusetts. The new manager is also
a fancy skater having won a number
of prizes.
Each performance will consist oi
three full reels of pictures and one
illustrated song.
]. A. Bader and Company are th'
contractors doing the work, and as Z
result of completing the building al
such a early date they will receive
n bonus as was specified in the con
