er.ves In China.

There are various kinds of graves In
China. The graves are dug generally
from twelve feet to thirteen feet below
the ground, while, according to an old
custom, the mounds of the graves Of
emperors were thirty feet in height,
those of territorial lords fifteen feet
and those of barons without territories
and OF lord stewards eight feet. while
for inferior officials and common peo.
pie mounds only four feet in height
were erected. Pines were planted on
the tombs Of emperors, species Of
oak on those of territorial lords, spe-
eies of willow on those of baEons and
lord stewards and elm trees on those
of inferior officials. Although there
are no territorial lords and lord stew
ards now in China, men OF high rank
still have their tombs constructed in
accordance with this old custom.

nesday evening, April IL, as follows:
"The Bates mandolin and glee clubs
appeared at the Macarthur auditorium
last evening, furnishing program that
was a delight to an audience packing
floor and balcony This event must be
accorded place in the very front rank
of college club entertainments. The
program was presented with an enthu.
siasm that kept the audience on edge
throughout
"The concert began with a piano solo
by Mr. Tebbetts, which was of sufti-
cient excellence to merit hearty
round of applause. Following, the
glee came on and gave Culbertson's
Yachting Glee," and singing it so
brilliantly as to arouse the deepest in
terest OF the audience. Then Mr..
Davis got an excellent turn from the
patrons of the event by reading one Of
Richard Harding Davis compositions
and after that the program went on
with gem after gem, outburst after
outburst of applause, and encore after
encore, up TO a rich and satisfying
finish"

ing emotional actresses of the Amer
lean stage, and her new starring vehicle
gives her an opportunity of displaying
her ability in a totally new and un-
expected direction. She has proven her
self to be a well equipped thoroughly
trained and true artist. Her touch and
shading is so delicate in several of the
principal scenes in "The Woman He
Married" that one marvels at her pene-
trating powers. Her fine spirits and
magnificent fury in some of these scenes
are more felt than heard In the role
of JENNIE Drlmont. she has made great
sacrifice. She is repaid with scorn. To
properly portray the resultant feeling
requires the full mastery OF all that
is possible in dramatic Interpretation.
II she should fall below that standard,
she would be sore disappointment, but
she does not. All the pent up misery
and anguish OF her bitter struggle to
gain happiness, charged with terrible
injustice which rewards her splendid
sacrifice. makes every word ring true
with a heart touching sincerity. Miss
Harned's voice Is one of her chief at.
fractions Even when pitched the high
est in the most intense dramatic mo-
ments, it remains smooth, soft and
charming Her voice carries to all por-
tions of the house, with no apparent ef-
fort on the part of this distinguished
artist. When she reaches the very
height OF her scorn or the very depth
of her misery, she leaves the audience
feeling that she has not exhausted her
power, but has rather just touched upon
that great wealth of emotion which she
possesses Miss Harmed will be seen

date, for one night only.

CULTIVATION OF Day caOrS
Main Thing ls TO See That Plants
Have Good Roots-No Tearing
Out II Done Properly.

Professor Blount was recently
quoted as advocating the advantage OF
cultlyatlng grain crops In the arid
regions and being laughed at by some
who could not understand the philoso-
ply of such proposition. Professor
Blount Is absolutely right as ! have
proved by experience. Last season at
Cheyenne was one Of the driest on
record and all crops grown on the
state dry farm under my supervision
were cultivated several times after
they were up and had good roots
some when knee high to the team,
writes DIR. V. T. Cooke in the Denver
Field and Farm. The object OF culti-
waiting with the crop as high as this
was more to show that such cultiva-
tlon although possibly not beneficial
at least did no harm.
The crops cultivated we're winter
wheat and winter rye In the spring
Then in due time we also cultivated
spring wheat, oats, barley, emmer or
speltz, Canadian field peas, stock
beets, corn, millet, sorghum and pota-
toes. A twelvefoot three-row spring
tooth riding weeder with a lever was
used. This lever enables the driver
to control the depth of cultivation. A
common steel drag harrow will take
the place OF weeder as a cultivator
provided the teeth are sharp and set
slantingly. Judgment must be used on
some soils as to how early this work
should be begun. One can get onto
the crop too soon and thus tear out
considerable of the growing grain,
which is entirely unnecessary.
The main thing is to see that the
crops have good roots and II the work
Is properly done, very little II any
tearing out will occur, but the work
will surely get rid OF thousands OF
weeds, as well as stimulate the crop,
besides making the soil in better con.
dition to conserve and receive mois-
ture. We know the cultivation OF corn
is necessary and pays. Then why
not cultivate cereals7 In fact all crops
grown III arid and semi-arid countries
should be cultivated. Due considera-
tion should be given the grain crop in
an abnormally wet season, for culti-
walton under these conditions is not
so extremely essential.
A great deal more importance
should be attached to this cultivation
than there is. The weeder gives the
farmer a greater margin Of time to
do this work because It enables him
to. get onto taller grain and he can
control the depth he wishes to culti-
vate The weeder is OF light draft and
fast team can cover considerable
area in day The common steel
drag harrow can be used and is very
effective in heavier soils.

Keep Live Stock.

On most farms in the dry farming
area enough live stock should be kept
to pay most of the running expenses
OF the farm. Hay and pasturage are
very short in such areas and conse-
quently too dear for cheap live stock
production. Enough corn should be
grown to supply first, the work horses
with roughage during the winter II

supplement the pastures OF the sum-
