sky through the opened attic wall be-
hind the little boys bed, and angels
flying through it and grouping around
the cot. The picture was hauntingly
beautiful, very Fra Angelica fresco.
1t was accomplished in silence, by
means of scene painting, lights and an
understanding of pictorial grouping. 1t
was accomplished not by the authors but
by Mr.. Belasco. AS soon as the dia-
logue was resumed, the play dropped
down again to commonplace level and
the spectators exalted spirit slumped
also. Yet was not this picture true
part of the play, and perhaps the best
part?
"When a play is so obviously appeal
ing through its scenery, through its Wis
ual aspects, that it excites comment
therefore, we usually think of it, indeed,
not as the authors at all but as a 'Belas-
co production or Max Reinhardt pro-
duction.' In these extreme cases we
overpay the credit due the stage man
ager, just as in the majority of cases we
underpay.'

THE USE OF SILAGE FOR THE
DAIRY cow
Most Milk for the Least Money
By JARED VAN WAGENEN,

Practical Farmer and Dairyman.
There are three main arguments in ia
vor of the use of silo--iirst, it is the
cheapest and quickest way to preserve
the wonderful corn plant; second, it is
much more palatable than the air-dried
stalks or fodder hence the cows eat it
more freely, and there is almost no loss
from the cows rejecting the coarser parts
of the stalks tthis latter saving is a
very important matter in the course OF
the winters third and perhaps most vi
tai. the COW confined entirely to dry food
cannot do her best work She needs
what the chemist calls "succuence" in
some form. She may get this in the form
of pumpkins or root crops or in fresh
distilers' or brewers grains, but on most
farms there is nothing as cheap or salts
factory as good corn silage.
The question is sometimes asked ii
cows can safely be fed on silage and
grain without hay or other roughage.
There is no direct danger in this plan,
but it will rarely be necessary or wise.
No dairyman will have his whole farm in
corn, and there will always be some hay
to feed. Still, il is wise to make silage
the larger part of the ration and bal
ance it with proper kinds of grain.
A common sense ration for dairy
COW giving a good milk yield will be
made up of forty pounds silage, ten
pounds hay and from six to ten pounds
grain. giving the grain in proportion to
her milk yield on the basis of one pound
of grain for each three pounds of milk.
Now, how large a silo and how many
acres of corn are provided for a dairy?
The following figures viii help to deter
mine this: There are about 200 days or,
entire stable ,feeding in northern states,
so to feed forty pounds of silage per day
means 5000 pounds, or four tons, for
each COW during the winter. To help
out scanty pasture in summer, there is
no feed as good as silage, so provide an
extrn ton for each COW for this, or five
tons in alt silo holding sixty tons
s regarded fairly ample for a twelve
COW dairy, ard this capacity will about be
equaled by a round silo of fifteen feet
in diameter ana twenty-one or twenty
two feet deep. II it is also to be used
for summer feed, it is better to have it
only twelve or thirteen feet across and
thirty feet deep.
1t is possible to grow twenty tons of
silage per acre. but twelve tons is
good yield, and in practice it is much
safer to reckon on eight tons, so the
man with the dozen cows had better
plan to have from seven to nine acres of
corns.

FORCING RaUBARB IN THE CELLAR.

Department of Agriculture, Kansas.
Anyone having a dark cellar can force
rhubarb in midwnter 1t need cause no
Objectionable odors Eor excessive damp
ness.
1t is necessary to completely exclude
daylight so that the stalks will grow
upright and have good coloring and to
discourage leaf development. Dim arti-
| fetal light is not injurious. To shut of
the light it is usually necessary to erect
wooden partitions or use curtains OF old
carpet or similar material. Very little
ventilation is needed, and no special pro-
vision will have to be made for it,.
Spread two or three inches of loose gar
den loan over the cellar floor.
Ten roots will produce an abundance
for the average family. Should one
bunch of roots cease bearing, remove
them and put in new supply. Select
roots from two to five years OF age, the
thriftier and stronger the better. Al
most any variety will force. A most
important factor in success is to allow
the roots TO remain in the ground until
thoroughly frozen.
How to Plant 1t.
Dig the plants in the fall, retaining as
much dirt as possible among the roots,
ard leave them outside to freeze, or they
may be purchased. Trim the roots
slightly to make smooth job and take
to the cellar. Set the ciumps as close
together as possible and fill in under
meath and between them with loose
earth. Use only enough earth to en-
tirely cover the crown of the roots.
An even temperature of anywhere
from so to so degrees will give good
results. High temperature hastens the
growth, but at the expense of quality
A gasoline or oil stove with an oven,
large oil lamps or even lanterns will
serve to raise the temperature should the
cellar be too cool. A cellar with fur
mace is ideal. Keep the soil slightly
moist by applying a little tepid water
when it seems in need. The application
of weak solution of nitrate of soda
or liquid COW manure usually pays well
for the pains.
When and How to Pick.
II is a month or six weeks from
planting to harvesting. Twelve to four
teen inches is good height for picking.
Do not carelessly jerk or pull the stalks.
Run the index finger carefully down the
inside of the stalk and gently pry it
from the clump. If numerous stalks
spring up, increase the heat and thin
them out to fair stand.

fully calculated the possible effects, leav-
ing them all to other persons, he has
but half written his play, after all, and
should by rights be considered merely
collaboration.
"To realize how large a share the
stage manner has in play you have
only to witness the production of a
modern comedy staged, let us say, by
Henry Miller, and then the same drama
put on by an ordinary "two-a-day" stock
company. What has become of the air
OF breeding, the quiet distinction, the
polished wit which caused us to declare
this comedy so finer Gone, evaporated
and nothing but rather uninportant
and not very interesting story left!
How far. then, was Mr.. Miller the au-
thor of that original production? Is it
not fair question?

MR.. SILVERSTEIN IN
HEROIC RESCUE WORK

Fire which destroyed the interior Of
the grocery store on the first floor of
the building at No. 404 Pine street.
about II o'clock last night, created
great excitement owing to the sensa-
tional manner in which the occupants
of the building were compelled to make
their escape.
Ladders were called into service to
rescue the imprisoned occupants, whose
escape by the stairs was cut off by the
| flames, and the spectators were startled
to see a child thrown from the third
story window into the arms of a by
stander on the sidewalk.
The ground floor Of the building is
occupied by Morris Goldberg as gro
cery store, who makes his home in the
! second and third stories That the fam
lily was not suifocated by the smoke
was due to the fact that Davis Gold
berg, aged / year, has the whooping
cough. and the smoke which was filling
the room so irritated his throat that
his coughing aroused his mother who
quickly gave the fire alarm.
Mr.. Goldberg, the husband and father,
was away at the time. Sleeping in the
house We're Mrs. Goldberg. Davis the
baby, and Eva, aged two years, who
were IN the rooms on the second floor
In one room on the third floor was

Goldberg, who recently arrived in this
country and who cannot speak English;

another room was Ida Goldberg, aged
II years.

were compelled to retreat back to the

The neighborhood was aroused by
the womans screams and a crowd OF
more than 100 persons gathered in front
of the house. At that time there were
no ladders at hand as the fire COM

BERLIN, Md, May 4.-The gallon
a-month law, which went into effect
on May /, for the Eastern Shore coun-

express companies.
The companies have been delayed
getting the necessary books SO that
they can keep a record when making
deliveries, and to avoid breaking the
law they have issued orders to their
agents not to deliver any intoxicating
liquors on hand until further orders.
The agents have tried to pacify the
people who ordered their supply of
liquor for May by explaining their or
ders, with no pleasant results, and at
one time last night it was feared that
an attempt would be made to force an
entrance to the local office here.
Only after much argument and
councilitory talk did the thirsty
crowd leave.
