CRUSHED THE CRITIC.

An Anecdote of Verdi and Bother
some Partisan Journalist.
The first production of Verdis opera
"OthellO' took place at Milan, and all
the prominent musical critics of Eu-
rope foregathered in the Cathedral
City in honor of the occasion. Among
them was Partisan journalist of wide
reputation and admitted authority in
the musical world. His first care on
his arrival in Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be
present at one of the final rehearSals.
The composer received the critic with
extreme politeness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request,
as he had decided that the rehearsals
We're to be absolutely private, and he
could not make an exception in the
favor of any one journalist, however
distinguished.
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that in these
circumstances his account of the opera
might not be all he should like it to
be. "You see," he explained to the
composer, who affected not quite to
understand, Il shall have to telegraph
my article the same evening. 1t will
necessarily be hastily written. and the
impression in Paris the next day may
suffer in consequence"
But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion. MY dear sir" he made
answer, II do not write for the next
day." The critic bowed himself out.

Schools Open in
Burns September 9th.

The impression has gained
headway that both the public and
high schools of this place will be-
gin the fall terms on Aug. 80.
Principal Shirk desires The
Times-Herald to state the high
school will begin on September 6
and we also know the public
school will begin on the same
date.
Prospects are most gratifying
for an excellent school year in
the schools of this city with
every preparation being perfect
ed before the opening for the
largest number of pupils in the
history of both schools. The cit
liens of this city are going to
take even a more active personal
interest in the schools the COM
ing year and endeavor to assist
in every way possible to their
success.
The teachers will assemble be-
fore the beginning of schools
and programs for the year will
be outlined and plans perfected
for harmonious work.

Agricultural Notes.

obil Shattuck, County Agriculturist
During the latter part of July
/ made a pretty thorough tour of
Sunset Valley, visiting some II
or Is farms, from Mr.. Tomolins,
at the foot of Wright's Point to
the oil well.
This section of country seems
to be rather free from frost
judging from the crops being
grown. In nearly every case all
farms visited had good gardens
with large potato and corn
patches. In some cases mellon
vines, tomatoes and small fruits
were doing well.
Mr.. N. E. Barth had the best
corn, Mr.. Carpenter had a very
good garden and Mr.. Roder had
a splendid stand of Baltic alfalfa
that was just loaded with seed.
also a nice little orchard.
Mr.. Clyde Embree had the
greatest variety of vines. trees
and shrubs girls you should not
overlook this chance.
Messrs. Tomolin, Stahl, Por-
ter, Blackmere, and Koenermann
had fine looking fields of grain.
Very few people in this section
are making use of the summer
fallow as yet. but the majority
admit that it is the proper sys-
TEN to use.
The Sunset section is admira-
bly, adapted to the growing of
field peas and alfalfa for seed,
and with the market prices of 6
cents per pound for field peas,
and and rs cents to one dollar
per pound for Baltic alfalfa seed.
the growing of either of these
crops would not be in the same |
class with grain, as cash crop. |
A big advantage in growing
either of these crops is that the
land only has to be fallowed the
year previous to planting and
then can be cropped continuously
to peas or alfalfa in rows.
If any person has any doubts
as to whether these crops are a
success in this section or not. call
and inspect the demonstration
farm operated by Mr.. Henney.
or call and take a look at Brett
haupt Bros. alfalfa field near
Weaver Springs.
Mr.. Chas. Davis has a splendid
field of barley in the Cow creek
country and estimates that it will

Honey Bee a Success
In Harney County

Although II seems to be the
general opinion that Harvey
County Is too cold during the
winter season 10 successfully
handle bees, Mr.. J. +. Rhodes.
who resides four miles out Of
Dfewsey, on the Drewsey-Burns
road, where IL Is fully as cold in
winter as Harney Valley proper,
has made a marked success with
bees.
Four years ago Mr.. Rhodes
cut two bee trees and in this
manner obtained the foundation
stock for his apiary. With these
two stands Mr.. Rhodes started
in the bee business, making the
hives, supers and other necess-
airy equipment himself, so that
the expense Of getting started
amounted to practically nothing.
\ In order to make a success
with bees one must be familiar
with the care and handling. as
well as the habits Of these in
sects. As Mr.. Rhodes has hand
led bees more or less during his
lifetime, he is fully versed in bee
lore, as this is his particular
hobby.
This year Mr.. Rhodes has SO
stands and will harvest at least
1000 pounds Of No. honey. The
bees work principally on the
black sage, sweet clover and al
falfa blossoms, also on the wild
flowers, theehrst three sources
furnish the major flow Of honey.
During the winter Mr.. Rhodes
stores his bees in a cool. dry eel
lar, in tiers like so many boxes
Of apples. where the bees remain
in a dormant state till spring.
An important point is to leave
plenty Of honey In the hive for
the bees to feed on in the spring
until the honey flow begins. that
is. when the sage, clover, etc. |
begins to bloom. as poorly fed |
bees get weak and die off. where
as as well fed bees will return q |
neat profit per stand.
Mr.. Rhodes sees a great future
for bees In Harney County and
every farmer should at least have
a stand or two to furnish honey
for home use. He also states
that a single stand has filed a
super containing "a one pound
frames in two weeks when the
honey flow was at its best.
Any one who is particularly
interested in bees should call on
Mr.. Rhodes and have a talk with
him or write. as he would be
pleased to give any information
hat he can to develop the bee
business in Harvey County. -
