Julia Murdock Says Miss Kennedy .
Gives Mother Credit for Success
Actress Has Won Fame AS
Little Miss Brown
At Nineteen.

There Is always something interesting
to be found out about young woman
who, though still In her teens, has ac-
complished as much as Miss Madge
Kennedy. the little girl who plays the
part of Little Miss Brown In the play
OF that name which Is being produced
at the Belasco Theater this week. The
little girl who causes all the trouble
and makes the most of the delightful
little play Is Just nineteen years old, but
she has already made a name for ner-
self I'm the theatrical world. And she is
one OF the very few actresses who can
play as young as she looks and who is
as young as she acts. As nearly every
body has remarked at one time or an
other. nothing fs 80 hard to emulate AS
youth. Some actresses never achieve II
until after they are forty. Hence the
complete wonder of this little lady She
presents a perfect picture Of .he youth
she has with her. and in the play in
which she Is appearing this week she
scales the heights OF naturalness In an
unconscious manner that is nothing
snort OF marvellous.

other evening after I had seen her IN
the first and second acts of Little Miss
Brown" to chat with her awhile and to

Can anything be said in reply? Very
little. We can only construct dia
bolical plot by Archbold Penrose. Ell
al, to ruin Mr. Roosevelt and the
Progressive cause. There are very
few things to Justify such a theory.
Among these is the death of Mr..
Bliss and the fact that his books as
treasurer OF the committee were de-
stroyed by him; SO that any accusa-
tion whatever could be made and no
proof of his falsity could be pro
duced. OF course this argument will
apply as well to the other side of the
case. Naturally the Standard Oil peo
pie are furious at Roosevelt for his
prosecution Of the trust and would
do almost anything to checkmate his
ambition to be president again. but
that they would devise such a plot Is
hard to believe. If we inject Mr..
Penrose into the affair. we may say
that his $3.000o0O story about the
Progressive campaign this year is so
absurd that it is difficult to credit any
of his charges. On the other hand,
Roosevelt's relations with Hartman
during this campaign were such as to
make 1t probable that he welcomed
contributions. We know that he
asked Hartman to help in the New
York state campaign of that year.
And 1t was no worse to ask Hartman
than it was to ask Archbold. More.

national campaign funds is mythical

An experiment was conducted al
the Oklahoma station for the purpose
of determining the effect of early me

sons, July plowing gave a return oi
I'll bushels per acre; August plowing
yielded 24.2 bushels per acre; while

July and are then worked down with
tillage implements so that they do moi

rain which may fall throughout the
summer will be absorbed and subse
quent culture will enable the grower
to save this supply for his crop. The
same plan can be followed in prepar
ing fields for alfalfa seeding.
Where it is intended to prepare the
soil early In September. officials OF
the station recommend that special eff
fort should be made to pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly after plowing SC
that in the event of autumn rains be
ing abundant, the crop will come
through in good condition.

HOE is MOST HANDY
OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Most Useful Tool in Equipment OF
Gardener or Farmer-Should
Be Kept Sharp.
py r. C. wEArHERsToNEo

So many people have horror OF
using a hoe. 1t is the most comfort
able implement to be found In the
eouipment of a gardener or farmer,
and 1t is handy to use for 80 many
purposes that one cannot get along
without it.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe
came into proyerbial use
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleas
ant implement with which to work
The good gardener will keep his IA
yorite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. 1t is impossible to grind a hoe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side of the blade
when 1t is in use in order to make
the hoe bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade. Then keep It bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing is not much like hard work.
In hoeing a long slow movement
should be made, II the soil Is In good
condition. Simply "scufiiing" half an
inch of the top soil is. enough to kill
weeds and one can go over lot of
ground in one day If the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With sharp hoe one, can cut
thistles, dock. dandelions and other
noxious weeds with quickness, dis
patch and ease. 1t is light to handle,
easy to use and more effective than
any other implement for many pur-
poses.
In choosing a hoe select one the
blade of which lies not quite fat on
the floor when you are standing erect
with the hoe handle extending from
your hand. when in working position to
the floor. The heel of the hoe should
not quite touch the floor from this
position.
Such hoe will bite into the soil
easily, when 1t is bright and sharp
and will work smoothly and effectively.
Sharpen the hoe as soon as 1t gets
noticeably dull This will be hard on
the hoe. but 1t saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry a small fat file in
your hip pocket and do not allow q
nick to stay in the hoe a minute
after 1t is made

important. the amount of grain is OF
equal. II not greater. Importance in de-
termining the economy of grains. 1t
has been shown at different stations
that the best forage crops are little
more than maintenance ration.
II gains are to be made then, 1t is
necessary to feed some grain in addi-
ton to the forage. Experiments indi-
cate that the greatest economy of
grain through the use of forage is OBJ
tained when one and one-half to two
pounds of grain are fed daily for each
100 pounds of live weight. The best
general rule is to feed enough grain
to cause the hogs to make daily
grain of three-fourths of a pound for
each 100 pounds of live weight
Where alfalfa can be grown success
fully there is probably no crop that
will give better results for swine feed
ing. An acre of alfalfa will pasture,
during the grazing season, from ten
to twenty shoats. The important point
to be observed is not to pasture too
closely. Best results are obtained by
SO pasturing that one or two cuttings
of hay may be taken off the field dur

EXPOSES THE TARIFF FRAUD
American Company's Offer Of Steel
Rails to Manchester, England. Is
Illuminating.

Recently the city of Manchester,
England. wanted steel rails for it's
roads. The contract was not large
one. but when It was advertised the
bidding for it was sharp and bitter.
Manchester is In the iron and steel
district of England. and in a position
to command the lowest price on the
domestic product.
When the bids were opened, how.
ever. 1t was found that an American
concern, the Lorain Steel company OF
Johnstown, Pa, had made the lowest
offer. In round figures. the Lorain
company would sell for s51 900 what
it's English rivals demanded $55. .00e
for.
The American company was pre-
pared to manufacture the rails. pay
freight and handling to the Atlantic
seaboard. pay freight and handling by
sea to England, and again pay freight
and handling to Manchester, and still
make a profit on its sale at nearly
ten per cent. under the British price
And yet, in the face of such a show.
ing as this. the stand pat Republican
still maintains that the present tarifi
on steel rails is absolutely essential
to the prosperity of the industry In
this country. The steel business Ia

though 1t can go into the heart OF
Britain and win contracts In competi
tion with hard-headed, close-calculat
ing manufacturers Of the tight little
isle.

PORK GROWN MOST CHEAPLY BY FEEDING
SOME GRAIN TOGETHER WITH FORAGE
It Has Been Shown at Different Experiment Stations That the
Best Forage Crops Are Little More Than Maintenance ha-
tion-Alfalfa Exces.

Results of investigations at the Mis-
souri, experiment station indicate
clearly that pork can be produced
most cheaply by feeding grain in com
bination with forage.
The kind of grain depends. of course,
upon the forage crop. In the work
done at this station, in general. when
the forage was a legume. such as al
falfa, clover, cowpeas or soy beans,
straight corn was the grain fed. With
non-leguminous forages. such as blue
grass. rape and oats. sorghum or rye.
the corn was supplemented with lin
