NEW YORK, May S.-The fractional
declines, which we're general ON to-
days stock market from the first,
were generally ascribed to the fact
that mystifying reports regarding the
Mexican situation had entirely offset,
for the time at any rate, the good In
fluence of yesterdays crop report.
During most OF the day business on
the stock exchange was extremely
dull There was moderate activity in
the first hour when most declines oc-
Cured. and in the latter hours oc-
casional increase in trading usually
in connection with further concession
in prices, but the closing witnessed
little definite movement. Some Of the
days statistical reports reflected the
known inactivity of trade.
Exports and home consumption OF
copper decreased 5000 tons in April

[By Carlton Ten Eyck. written for

NEW YORK, May S.-Ask anyone
you know If he could ge. along with
lout telephone in his home and it's
ten to one bet that he'd answer In the
negative. Then ask any business man
you meet, whether you know him or
not, how long his business would last
if he didn't have telephone. You'd
probably be surprised If you hi: one
man in a thousand by mere chance,
and he replied:
why, ] don't have a telephone in
my place of business. 1t would ruin
me in no time"
And there you are. It's true
story. There are some several hun
dred or more men in big New York
who quake every time they hear the
telephone. They are men who con-
duct studios of dramatic instruction.
| One such Individual, few days ago
t:old why he wouldn't have a tele-
phone. -,.-i
You see, it's this way he ex.
planned THE ten or twelve hours a
day that l am in my studio giving
lessons. are all busy hours. The
work of instructing would-be actors
and actresses, and coaching those who
have made their name, is not like
other work. In other lines. man can
very easily drop his work for the
Inonce. pick up the telephone for
chat, and then resume his work where
he had left off.
There's just the rub. In my work,
II have to carry through what is start
led. Imagine getting pupil into the
proper atmosphere of some strongly
emotional piece of acting and just at
the crisis, suddenly the telephone bell
jingles. can't say, hold that pose
and keep your feelings just as they
are for few minutes, please 1t
would not only ruin the scene, but
would throw a damper on the pupil
whether novice or professional, thai
couldn't be remedied Then, too, a
student of the drama, one who really
wants to make his living by acting,
must learn early that the work on
the stage is real work. The hardest
part of that work is regularity. You
know, any other business man. ex-
cepting a newspaper reporter land
few reporters are good business mem
can get to his office little late and
speed up to make UP for lost time. Not
so with an actor. Imagine one rush
ing onto the stage even two minutes
late after his cue had come, and hur.
riedly saying his lines fast enough to
catch up with the others. -
We'll. the point Is this. The dram
attic student must learn punctualf.y
and regularity in attendance II he
knows there is a telephone at the
studio he will be more likely to call
up to say he will be few minutes
late. or tina. he can't get around to-
day and to ask that the lesson be post
poned. That's the reason I wouldn't
have a telephone about the place. rye
had experience. Telephones are es-
sential to almost every other line Of
work, but hey are a big hindrance
with teachers OF dramatic art"

PERMANENT PASTURE.
Advantage of Winter Feeding Is In
Use of Byproducts.

If portion of the land is too rough
for cultivation or if the farm is Of
such n size that there is too much land
for the help employed and not enough
to demand another hand, it is often
advisable to keep this extra land in
permanent pasture. On many large
farms ii is better because Of the search
ty of labor to farm less intensively and
keep Il considerable, area in pasture.
Under such circumstances feeding on
pasture should prove remunerative.
The advantages of winter feeding
consist in the opportunities to make
better use of the byproducts, such as
corn fodder. damaged hay, etc, and
the better distribution of labor. In the
western part of the corn belt the ma
jOrity of the cattle are fed during the
late fall and early winter months, so
that they may be out of the way be-
fore bad weather sets in, thus avoiding
east, where the disagrceable weather
begins earlier. it Is customary to rough
the cattle on pasture and stalk fields
until December or January, when they
are put into the yards and fattened.
In the eastern part of the corn belt
cattle are frequently fattened in sheds
or barns.
The number of steers to be fattoned
depends on the quantity of roughage
available. II there is n surplus of corn
it should be sold or fed to hogs. On
the other hand. If there Is slight def
cheney it may prove more economical
to buy little corn or other concen-
trate than to dispose Of the rough feed
