Sheep Value to Farm.

The care of flock of sheep is a Job
a good deal less sweaty and laborious
than the swing of the scythe and the
hoe in an unending effort to kill on
the weeds. In the presence of such a
flock, the weeds rapidly disappear,
and the grasses take the possession
of the ground. Some farmers are said
to hesitate about starting flock OF
sheep because of the possible reduc-
ton of the duty on wool and the de-
cline in price that perhaps would fol-
low. But this would cut no figure In
the case.
Mutton always commands a profit.
able price; and the combined returns
from mutton and wool, added to the
services of the sheep in keeping
down the weeds and enriching the
land. will perhaps make the flock a
highly valuable contributor to the
prosperity of the farm.

CHECK ON THE QUAcK GRASS
Serious Menace Is Eradicated by
Ceaseless Cultivation-How
Farmer Got Rid of Pest.
By r. G. wEATHERsTONE.)


One man In our neighborhood
bought farm several years ago that
was badly infested with quack grass.
The uplands were free from the pest,
but about twenty acres of creek bot
tom land grew scarcely anything else.
The former owner had let these bot
toms in hay for many years, although
of late he had been moving scarcely
anything but quack.
The other man, however, put the
entire twenty under the pillow, wear
ing out good many share points in
tearing up the rough sod and more
than once Saying things" Then he
planted corn, after having first har-
rowed and disked, and disked and har-
rowed, until a great many of the
quack roots were killed.
Ceaseless cultivation was kept up
until the corn was too tall to admit a
cultivator, and the field was gone
over once with the hoe In the fail
the corn was rather weedy when cut,
still it was not half bad. AS the bot
tom was extremely fertile, it was
plowed, narrowed and disked again,
and the corn was put in once more.
The same old story of cultivation
and hoeing was repeated and even a
larger crop Of corn was the result
with less quack than the fall before
The bottom looked good for yet an
other crop of corn, 80 far the third
time the scratching of the earth con-
tinued By that time the Ouack was
pretty we'll under control, and it was
no longer a serious menace to the
crop.

lures that can be SO managed by the
skillful poultry keeper as to bring
good returns
The basis of profit does not rely up
On what branch of poultry keeping one
follows. There are chances in every
line, eggs, meat and fancy. The ordi-
nary profit secured in any one of
these branches can be doubled, or
trebled, by the skill and intelligence
Of the caretaker.
The regular profit of one dollar per
fowl seems to satisfy the average
poultryman. This is wrong, for no
one should be satisfied in any line of
work, but constantly striving for bet
ter results and larger profits. Two
and three dollars per fowl is a posi-
bic profit and is being attained by
some men in the poultry business to-
lay.
The secret does not lie in the fowl
Or the variety, but In the human
brain. Let us all study more care
fully the rules and principles that
govern poultry culture. Let US strive
o increase the profit in our fiocks,
and thus each year set up a new
standard for the succeeding year. By
thought. perseverance and persistence
great things can be accomplished with
poultry.

Methods Of Pickinc.

Either scalding or the dry-pickins
method can be used for fowls intend
ed for market, but for broiiers only
the dry-picking method is allowable.
A chick only a few weeks old is a
very tender bird, but II scalded it will
be found impossible to pick it with
out occasionally rubbing a little Of
the skin off. These spots will dark
en- and give the broiler a stale look.
The scalding will also increase the
tendency to decay. With dry picking
not only will the bird keep much
longer, but the natural firmness of
the flesh prevents all fear OF skin
ming.

PROMISED FOR THE PLAYHOUSES
MADAME < ToNIeHT.

II is seldom that Honolnlans are
given an opportunity to see the very
newest in the dramatic world without
going to the mainland to see 1t. This
season however, John Wray, manager
of the Worlds Fair Stock Company,
has brought a number of plays which
are still running In New York.
Madame X" is one Of these and will
be seen here for the first time tonight
at the Hawaiian Opera house. Vir-
ginia Brissac in the title role is Civ
en- splendid opportunity to prove
again that she is an actress. In all
of her work here Miss Brissac has
received the highest praise and to-
night she win play character totally
different from any other she has done
in the islands and will no doubt add
to her alrea1y long list Of laurels.
The story Of Madame x" is tragi-
cal. The young wife firing of her
husband leaves him and her little
four-year-old son for another man
with whom she becomes infatuated.
Everything might have been happy,
but the woman's lover dies. and desti-
tute and without penny she returns
to her husband begging for forgive
ness. Twenty years later she is
shown in a cheap lodging house with
a man with whom she Is infatuated;
a quarrel ensues and Madame X'
murders her lover. She is arrested
for the crime and placed in prison.
A lawyer for her defense is procured
and though neither she nor the man
know it, he is her son, now q man,
who has been admitted to practice
law. 1t so happens that this Is his
first case.
1t is the third act which makes the
play famous. The court room filed
with men and women curious to know
the fate of this woman who so coldly
murdered her lover. The pleading
for the life OF his mother by the
young lawyer is one CT the strongest
parts of the act, and as he wins the
case he is told by his father, who is
one Of the spectators, that the woman
is his mother. 1t seems as though
the ending might be happy, but as
