music-lOving public at large, that mu-
steal treat Of high merits is in store for
them.
The main number # the concert will
be the production of an OIatorio by Carl

taken from scripture and narrates the
sufferings of Christ. The oratOrio con-
sists of As numbers, comprising chOruses
for mixed, female and males. A num-
Der Of figures are especially of a very
impressive character. The accompIe-
ment is written for string instruments
violin, viola, cello, bass and piano.
Hugo Bach's orchestra, a well-knOwn
organization, will furnish the orchestral
accompaniment. The choir, numbering
over 80 voices will also be assisted by
four competent soloists from Milwaukee:
Mrs. Clara Willer, Soprano; Miss Else
Bloedel, Alto; Mr.. Walter Gesch, Tenor;
Mr.. Martin Keller, Bass, all of whom are
we'll known artists of a high standard.
The full program will be published

BEES AND FRUIT TOGETHER
Few Stands of Little Honey CATERERS
viii Add Materially to Profits
of Orchard.

The ideal fruit farm, with it's Or
chards of apples, cherries, pears and
plums, it's shade trees and its gar
dens, is hardly complete without at
least a few stands of bees. Properly
managed they will not only add to
the profits of their owner, but sup
ply his table with an abundance of the
most luxurious Of all delicacies; and
add materially to the fertility of his
berries and fruits by the pollen-distrib-
uting habits that these insects pos
sess, writes D. W. Otis in the North
west Farmstead.
This important feature, however, is
generally omitted, or carried on in
such a way as to result in very little
profit and great deal Of trouble;
and usually results in failure in the
end; and this in face of the fact that
it might easily be made one Of the
most profitable and fascinating Of the
fruit growers occupations.

Selecting Fertilizers

Thousands of dollars are wasted in
commercial fertilizer every year, not
because the fertilizer is not all right,
but because we do not know whether
the kind we use is the kind our land
needs. 1t is a great study and one
that we must make for ourselves.
Make some simple experiments this
year. Put in a strip with fertilizer
you have been in the habit of using.
and just beside it another without it.
This will be worth a great deal more
to you than the OPINION OIL some N
terested agent.
