FORTUNE HUNTER" AT NEWARK
THEATRE, A WONDERFUL PLAY.

1.-THE Fortune Hunter" as played in
the Newark Theatre this week, is a
sermon without stopping over, and
ally attendant on such plays. Its pro-
ducers a 1t a new American comedy.
1t is that, but 1t contains a good deal
of pathos which not for one IN
becomes bathos. It's humor at times is
of the kindly gentle sort that makes
one smile with moisture in the eye.
Although it Is not new to Newarkers,
it is a play that II worth seeing again.
The preaching is not lone at h audi
ence, but to it, and when the curtain Is
rung down there is left a thoroughly
satisfied feeling that one has spent a
good evening and been benefited by 1t.
1t contains no heavy problem h a sets
you to w%rangling when you come home,
but 1t performs the function of a plE
almost to perfection. 1t Is thoroughly
clean, wholesome and leaves a good
taste in the mouth.
The acting, If possible, is yer better
than the play.
Will Deming. as Nathaniel Duncan,
the fortune-hunter, who goes to the
small Pennsylvania village to a big
game for a big stake, finds that he likes
the rules after a while, which were so
~distasteful at first, and he is himself
caught in the meshes of the net hat he
WOW SO successfully. He has a human
quality, a laugh and smile that make
you think he is perfectly sincere. 1t
does not seem possible that anyone can
laugh as he and his friend, Henry KEEL
log can, al they do in the third act,
when they meet again, without enjoy
ing themselves. 1t is the infectious
care-free laugh that gets across to
the audience until there is a pleasant
ripple all over the house.
Henry kellogg, as played by Curtis
Benton, is the quick, big. hearty man
of affairs, who is a true friend thai
he should be. Sam Graham, the village
druggist, portrayed by Forest Robin
son, is good. He acts in a manner that
makes a lump rise in ones throat oc-
| c%asionally and feel strongly for the
! childish. kind hearted, Impractical un-
sophisticated man who loves mankind
so much that he is threatened with the
very shipwreck he saved so many per
sons from.

ture has been most commonly recon-
mended. but its injury to the foliage
has made It unsatisfactory, since the
remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab (often called BLACK
spot") is another disease which ser
iously affects the peach crop in all
sections east of the Rocky mountains,
although not causing such serious
losses as brown rot.
AS a result Of experimental work
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been found in
the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash. This
can be applied during tho growing
season with very little danger Of in
juring the fruit or foliage and it is
very effective Furthermore by mix
ing arsenate of lead with the fungi
side, the curculio can be destroyed at
the same time.
The department issued bulletin
describing the preparation and use of
the remedy. This publication will be
of great interest to peach growers in
all sections.

HOW TO TELL A

Expert of Ontario Agricultural

Prof. Dean, in charge of the dairy
department at the Ontario Agricul-

which gives 600 gallons of milk year,
or 25O pounds of butter in the same
length of time. He values cow-testing
highly, as it is the only means of tell
ing whether or not a COW Will pro

writes:
How are you to know good COW?
You can tell by the notches in its
backbone. You can tell by the length
of her tail whether she will milk for

tests are the best tests. BY these you

the test. After dividing by 100 and

these are the three leading beef
breeds. there are others, such as Red
Poll and Devon. By some writer's the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we
will consider them beef breeds.
OF the three breeds mentioned first,
we can scarcely say one is better than
the other, for they belong on the same
plane. 1t is a matter Of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best, and then that be-
comes the best for him. Every one
of us will give our best attention and
efforts to the things We like best.
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give us best results and be-
comes best for US.
The two. remaining breeds are good
and in so1ae sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have a tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go into the business of
producing beef we want the breed of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities. Then it behooves us to
select one Of the best breeds. | say
one of the best breeds, and I mean
one Do not make the mistake that so
many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
Iinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
apt to confne the poor qualities Of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an
example and one that is commonly
practiced, if you breed Holstein COW,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but poor in butter fat to Jer-
sey bull, a breed which produces
small quantity of milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce a heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk, the char
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dam. The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-
Ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed we many fancy, let us act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
foundation stock of pure breeding.

Market gardeners who plant about

farms to plant vegetable largely one

following year because prices were un-

us in consuming the products of our

when we can make them consume our

the trouble Of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at home. then the

All cattle are divided into or fall
Into certain classes according to the
work they co to best advantage. In
other words. the disposition they make
of the feed they consume over and
above the amount needed for main
tenance determines this class.
When we take into consideration
that cattle are only machines for con-
verting hay. fodder and grains into
some product for human food, and
they are the only machines or fac
tories known that will convert those
materials into beef, milk, butter and

ton Of the real meaning of beef cat
tie, milk cattle or butter cattle.
