Mcclure, yard official, saw smoke
and flames pouring from the box car
nearest the corral. Sounding an

they soon had the fire out. Investiga-

with oil, had been touched off and put
in the broken door OF the car.

hidden behind or under another freight

Mcclure. fearing the horses would (
be stampeded, stopped to give his

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. G. BOWSFIELD

Success will come to owners of little
farms If they combine energy with
systematic work and aim to produce a
high quality of commodities for
ket at all times Of the year.
Their work should have a definite
object and bring definite results. 1
mean by this that the farmer should
have his plans well thought out and
then by steady, intelligent effort get
the results which are desired. This is
the way to make farm life enjoyable
and profitable. In no other way can
agriculture give satisfaction.
Diaries, poultry plants, orchards,
apiaries, gardens and grain fields pay
well or merely give Indifferent re-
turns according to the thoroughness
with which they are managed. This
applies to farms of all sizes. The real
profits come from securing production
above the average. A dairy is built
up to a profitable stage by the breed
ing and selection Of cows that make
a fair return on the Investment and
labor involved, and it takes a little
are to feed animals right, to handle
their output in a sanitary manner, to
weigh and test with accuracy and to
market in such a way as to gain the
highest possible rate Of profit.
A dairy owner needs to begin by
selecting the right kind Of cows or
wedding out those which do not pay.

but a great many things must be taken
into account before a COW can be
placed in the discard as far as dairy
qualities are concerned. Cow testing
associations that hire a specialist sue
coed better In wedding out the low
producers than do many individual
dairymen, because the specialist takes
into account the surrounding condi-
tons, feeding, care, etc., in forming
his estimate of a cows worth. Even
after he has tabulated the results Of
his Investigations the owner Of the
Gov may conclude that owing to an
unusually favorable market for milk
he a make a COW pay that tests low

the feeding and Of the animals condi-
ton is necessary If the milk flow is to
be kept up to normal during the en-
tire lactation period. Experience shows
that If one let's the milk flow decrease
for even tw%enty-four hours it is hard
to raise it unless more grain is fed
than was necessary before the drop

into the profits. Let a cold snap come

To further Illustrate the need of
making production come above the av-
erage let us assume that a farmer
raises two crops Of potatoes, n yield
ing $50 bushels anu the other 300 bush
els to the acre.. If the price were the
same, at first thought we might con-
clude that his crop Of $50 bushels
makes one-half as much money as the
other, but does it? The operating ex-
penses are practically the same, re-
CARELESS Of yield. The cost Of prepar-
ing the soil, seeding, cultivating and
harvesting; the cost of feeding the
horses; his labor, depreciation on i'm
plements; interest on investment in
land and equipment-all of these items
are about the same whether he raises
$50 II 300 bushels an acre.. If these
fixed charges amount to the value of
100 bushels an acre, with the $50 bush
Ell crop, the net profit is fifty bushels
an acre, while with the 300 bushel crop
the profit is 200 bushels an acre. In.
other words, the real profits on the first
crop are only one-fourth as great; as
on the second, although the yield is
one-half as large.
With an orchard, a garden, a poultry
plant or a herd Of meat animals the
constant aim should be to rise above
the average both in. quantity and quail
ity. Any Industrious and intelligent.
farmer can do this il he studies out his
program In advance and works up to
1t. He must keep In mind that the sell
ing end of the business is also impor-
tant. It is best to have private Gus

there must be fairness, promptbess and

forbidden Fruit" Shown.

The Ivan Film Company gave prt-

Wurlitzer Hall yesterday. The photo

BIZ Mr.. Abramson. Undoubtedly the
author. director and producer had
many confabs and perhaps even dis
agreed on many points, but this mas

lust escapes being unusual.
forbidden Fruit" tells the old story
Of wife who sells herself 70 protect
her husband from a well deserved term
i'm prison. In the case Of the Abrsm-
son play there is an aftermath in the
birth of a son, and the wife almost
pays the penalty Of her blind de.vo-
ton. And. when the author has
reached the cr.tics moment IN ms
plav. along comes the director al the
behest of the producer undoubtedly,
and spoils what might have been an
original ending.
Husband forgives wife. takes the IL
Legitimate lad into his arms, and the
play ends conventionally.
Paula Shay as the wife and Everett
Butterfeld as the husband acted with
discretion and considerable skill. June
Janin, a type OF Oriental beauty, over
acted bit as a designing cabaret per-
former. The best acting in the entire
play was done by Kittens Reichert a
seyen-year-old girl. who displayed
genuine dramatic ability.
Taken as a whole, forbidden Fruit"
is as good as the average independent
production.

"If you want the children 10 sing

Eve"
With the whispering OF this an
nouncement among the residents Of
Greenwich Village there came re-
vival Of an old English custom In that
quaint little spot within the noisy city,
and yet so far away.
Strolling bands of very small Christ
mas minstrels began to assemble on the
streets last night soon after s o'clock.
They represented Greenwich House, the
settlement at 26 Jones Street; the Hud-
son Park Library, Public School 95, st.

in the village. As they zig-zagged
through the streets, stopping to greet

"The First Noel" volunteer singers
Joined the procession. In fact, the young
women chaperoning the carol cav
alcades had so many new voices to con-
tend with that it looked. for a while as
though the programme would have to
be abandoned.
Two boys, five years old. could not
understand why they had to sing in
front of a junk-shop on Dominick
Street. There was a stub Of candle in
the window, casting an unsteady light
on the appeals for rags, bottles, old
iron or any old thing that any one had
10 sell.
As the Hudson Park library group
was passing the Macdougal Street po-
lice station Lieutenant Mckay threw
up the window and yelled: Hello,
kids, Don't | get song?"
"Ah, where's the candle in yer win
dow" asked one of the youngsters, not
al all awed by the boss of the station.
The lieutenant admitted that he had
forgotten the injunction communicated
TO the village ten days ago.
"Can we sing for him. anyway.
miss"
Lets sing for the cops"
So they sang for Lieutenant Mckay,
and he told them they were all right.
In front of Varick House, q DOR
mitory connected with the Spring Street
Settlement, the children were ap-
plauded by 100 girls about 10 start
