Many a farmer is cashing up today on farm bought on time with little or nothing down from twelve to twenty years ago and finds that, besides rear ing a family and meeting current ex- penses, he has netted in the neighbor- hood of $1 900 year merely in the ad- vance in the value of his land.

There was related to the writer the other day the case of an Ohio farmer who unfortunately is a type Of all too many the country over. He pretended to be a dairyman, but for some req son hard to understand made prac- tice of selling his good milkers when ever a fellow came along who would offer him little more than scrub price for them. The upshot or thls system was that, while he may have realized a fair margin of profit on the cows sold, he was at the same time milking a herd of low grade cows. which it is safe to assume, were hardly paying for their feed bill. 1t could only be a freak of the mind-a stupid ity or blindness and failure to reason from cause to effect-that could make it possible for a man to follow prac- tice of this kind, assuming. of course, that he was in the dairy business Tor profit and not for the fun or exercise to be got from it.

The nests of the tent caterpillars should be broken up and the colony of worms destroyed before they scatter and make nests for the winter. If the nests are small they may be easily de strOyed by singeing them with a torch made of a kerosened rag attached to a pole. If the nest is large and the worms are lusty it is better to cut the limb out on which the nest is located and, after collecting. to burn them.

In nature there seems to be a con- stant tendency to effect an adjust ment of means and conditions to ends. This is nicely shown in a fertile field growing a scant stand of corn, in the habit of the growing plants to suck CT and mors fully occupy and utilize the fertiliZing elements contained in the soil. Tn case of an overstand the tendency is shown in the reverse di- rection, when many stalks fail to set ears, thus reducing the yield.

TRADE TALK COMES WITH
SOX LOSING STREAK

SOX LOSING STREAK
AS is always the case when
team falls into a losing streak
tai kof trades in connection with
Sox players is rife today.
The most sensational rumor is
to the effect that negotiations are
being considered for the ex-
change. of Walsh and Zeider of
the South Siders to New York for
Russell Ford and Hal Chase. No.
verihcation can be secured.
A wall of protest is going up
from the South Side fans. They.
all want Walsh, figuring him as
the whole pitching staff. And in.
the past he has been practically
the whole staff. He is worked too
much, and is unable to perform as
he should. 1t is said he is on the.
outs with Callahan because of be-
ing sent to the mound with such
frequency. These rumors of dis
sension are also a part of every
ball team slump.
At'that, the trade might not be
such a blow to the Sox. Ford is
admittedly one of the best pitch
ers in the league, and young. For
Zeider would be given Chase, the
peer of all first basemen. And
first baseman is badly needed out
at 35th street.
If the Sox start another squirt
this trade talk may all be
dropped. But just now it is in
the air, and the Sox would hard
ly be the losers by the exchange.

ADJUSTMENTS
Imperial Russian Dancers

| The Imperial Russian dancers gave two performances at the Jefferson theatre | yesterday afternoon and last night. The programme was comprehensive and the artists acquitted themselves In man ner worthy of the highest praise. All are excellent dancers. The principals proved to be a revelation in grace and 1 skill. Mile Helena Schmolz and NJ. | Alexander yolinine, the two stars of the company, were superb. Both made a fine impression and their exquisite pres
 entaton of the Polka Violette,3 by Strauss was enthusiastically encored. As
 a matter of fact, there was not a num-
 Der on the programme that failed to
 please.
 The first part of the programme was
 devoted to a pantomimic interpretation
 of a story from "The Tales of Hoff-
 man." entitled "Coppelia" in which the
 belle of Hungarian village plays the
 part of q wonderfully llfelike doll in a toymaker's shop and dsllusions her lover, who has fallen in love with the toy-
 makers masterpiece. thinking 1t real girl. This pretty little story was given a picturesque setting and was admirably acted by Mile. Schmolz and M Volinine, assisted by the members of the com pany.
 The village fete afforded opportunities for some spirited dances and when the
 scene of the story was transferred to the
 interior of the toy shop. the novel en- tertainment was heightede by the music and the graceful art of the dancers. Some delightful comedy resulted when the village beauty and her friends played tricks with the toys, placed in various pastures around the shop. when she initiated the mechanical movements of the beautiful doll, who had bewitched her lover and when, in q fit of anger,
 she wrecked the shop by overturning all
 the dolls that were in reach. The con
 clusion was of course both happy and
 artistic. It was just like a story book
 that had come to life" its scenes and it's characters transferred to the stage
 The second part of the performance
 was devoted to a number of dances. in- cluding Gllnkas "Mazurka." Hauser's

 The performance was concluded with Llszts stirring Rhapsody No. ?, danced with Magyar abandon by the members of the ballet
 Although 1t had been predicted that the novelty of Russian dancers having worn off. the entertainment they had 10 offer this season would prove rather stale and fat, such was not the case. Those who
