Green Stockings" the comedy in
which Margaret Anglin was seen at
the Columbia Theater last January, fol-
lowing its successful production at the
Maxine Elliott Theater in New York,
,s In rehearsal by the Columbia Players
for production next week.
It is rated as the most successful
comedy OF the year, and one In which
Miss Anglin is not only still appearing
throughout her extended tour of the
west, but In which she is booked to
appear next season. Frances Nelson
has been cast for the role OF Celia
Faraday, originally played by Miss
Anglin, and those who have seen her in
the many roles she has assumed since
joining the Columbia Players are conf
dent she will give a good account of
herself in this important part. The
play calls for handsome stage settings
and magnificent gowns.

POLL PLAYERS

The most important production Of the
Poll Players thus far announced will be
"The Witching Hour" generally recog-
nized as the masterpiece of Augustus
Thomas, dean of American dramatists
who has utilized scientific fact as the
basis for an absorbing story of dra-
matte power in which one man saves
the life of his sweethearts son by lis
power over jury which is trying the
son for murder. The play fairly bristles
with dramatic episodes. and when it
was produced here by the Shuberts
three years ago, with John Mason and
George Nash in the principal roles, it
was proclaimed one of the greatest
plays ever presented on the American
stage.
In next weeks production A. II. Van
Buren, will have his best opportunity
thus far this season in the role of Jack
Brookfield. The part played by George
Nash will be taken by Arthur Cum
mlngs, a new member of the company
'" who has long record of successful
achievements in dramatic roles. Miss

COWS SHOULD CALVE IN FALL
Dairy Department Of the University
Of Missouri Recommends This as
the Best Practice.

A number Of reasons are given for
the practice OF most dairymen OF hav.
ing COWS calve In the fall instead of
in the spring. The Dairy Department
Of the University Of Missouri recon.
mends this as the best practice in
most cases, for some Of the following
reasons:
Prices for milk and butter fat are
highest In the winter, and II Is desir.
able that the COW be fresh to give the
maximum flow. When she begins to
decline in the spring, the fresh grass
Of pastures will stimulate her to hold
up TO good production.
Calves In the first few months OF
their growth are fed mostly by hand.
In winter there 10 more time to care
for them properly. The grass of
spring will come along Just when they
are getting started on q rapid growth.
"The dry period Of the cow will
come at the time of year when pas
lures are usually poor In Missouri,
and when flies are bad. This will
give relief to the cows when they
need 1t, and will be eaaer for the
mixers.
I'm cases where a regular milk
trade is to be supplied. 1t b necessary
to have the cows calve 1t intervals
SO that there will be almost a uni
form flow, but where the farmer is
selling cream 1t seems best to have
the calves come in the fall"

EXPERIMENT IN cow FEEDING
Result Of Number Of Tests Made by
the North Carolina Station on
Rations for Milk.

The North Carolina agricultural ex-
pertinent station recently concluded
a number of experiments to determine
the relative efficiency of narrow and
medium wide rations, for milk produc-
ton, q report of which has reached
the department of agriculture.
Eight cows from three to six weeks
In lactation were fed three periods Of
twenty-eight days each. In the first
and third periods the feed consisted
i've parts of cottonseed meal. four
quarts wheat bran, three parts OF corn
meal and fifty pounds Of corn silage.
The nutritive ratio of this ration was
about Ia.
During the second period the ration
was the same as the above except
that rs pounds of cottonseed meal
was replaced by 2.5 pounds of cora-
meal, giving this ration a nutritive
ration Of about 1.57. The result or this
test indicates that the narrow ration
produced 7.5 per cent. more milk fat.
and increased the fat test OLA per
cent. and the live weight 30 pounds.
The milk yield was practically the
same.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the C~u4cura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before We tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors. too. I think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that Is claimed for
them. and a great deal more"
