Another Fox production extraordi- nary, Princess Romanoff," ;" based on Sardou's unforgettable Fedora with Nance O'Neil, is coming to William Fox's local theater tomorrow and Sat- Grday. Tn this production Nance sC'Neil has scored what will probably be considered as the greatest triumph Of her dramatic career. Tn the stage version she rose to heights that no other actress succeeded in doing. Tn the film version she has actually out done her previous bids for public pop u]arity and brought the screen drama into vivid, clear-cut prominence, de- veloping the character of the revenge full 1ove,racked princess as it has never been shown before, and leaving her audience fairly gasping for breath as the plot moves into the climax. It was no idle phrase that named Nance O'Neil, the foremost emotional actress of America. The stage may claim, her as a marvel of the footlights but the

The Farmers Friend

The dietary Of a toad contains II
per cent of insects and the remainder
Is composed of spiders, crustacea and
worms. Having an amazingly active
tongue, he captures much of his food
on the wing. There Is every reason
why farmers and gardeners should en-
courage and protect the toad. Euro
pean gardeners often purchase toads,
considering their vigilance in hunting
insects we'll worth a trifiing outlay.
Toads become very tame when treated
with consideration, and as they never
do any harm, beyond occasionally ex-
cavating little cave for midday re-
tirement in favorite flower bed, while
destroying a vast amount Of insect
life, there is every reason why they
should be welcome guests

MAKING A TREE COMFORTABLE

In planting tree to make 1t grow
and there should be no other aim
the tree should be made just as COM
Portable in It's new environment as
possible. If the land Is wet it should
be drained, for trees will never thrive
with wet feet The best results are
obtained by preparing the land the
previous year for the setting Of the
trees Glover or coWpeas plowed I'M
der In the fall will make humus the
following year and keep the soil about
the roots. Trees will often do we'll in
poor soils and unfavorable conditions
if good soil is placed about their roots,
so that they get good start the first
year or So After they once become
established they can do considerable
towards taking care of themselves.

In order to make as great profit as
possible we should use economy In the
production as we'll as good judgment
in the marketing of eggs and poultry
The farmer has great advantage
here over the poultryman who has all
the feed to buy and we must not for
get to make the best use possible OF
this advantage.
At sowing and planting time is when
we should make our plans for variety
of feed for the poultry through the
year and especially for the winter.
You will want enough wheat, oats,
rye and barley sown to supply these
grains in the bundle for the hens to
work on. Sow some millet also to
add to the variety and to furnish seed
for next years little chicks. Mangle
or stock beets make a very good green
food for the hens in the winter, so
you will need to plant plenty of them.
Cabbage heads are great treat for
the fowls, so raise a few extra for
them.
Plant mammoth Russian sunf1owers
In the corners and waste places and
If there are not enough corners to
raise a good many, plant patch of
them. Sunf1ower seeds are great egg
producers and also make the plumage
of the fowls bright and beautiful.
They are fine to feed through the
moulting season as they nourish the
feathers and cause them to grow
rapidly.
Variety in the food Is more than
half the secret of egg production and
it is much cheaper to raise these diff
ferent foods than it is to buy them. so
do not forget the poultry at the plant
ing time.

WHERE MOST OF THE PROFIT IN POULTRY LIES

If chicks cannot be out Of doors
their feeding-foor should be covered
with sind. and over this should be
the straw stack or leaves from an
alfalfa-loft. Place the feed in this
litter. If small quantities are thus
given. and given often, the question Of
exercise is solved. Brooder chicks
need more care in this way than do
chicks with hens, but even in the latter
case it is worth while to make them
scratch for their food when they are
raised indoors.
The notion is prevalent that a chick
should begin his diet on boiled eggs
bread and milk, or some other soft
food This notion has probably arisen
from the knowledge that most young
animals cannot digest hard foods. But
when we consider the fact that the
natural food of the young mammal is
milk, we see why this principle does
not apply to chickens.
Little chicks should be first fed when
seventy-two to ninety-six hours old.
Feed small quantities and as often as
Is convenient. If the feed is buried
in deep litter they must work longer
getting it out. The idea is to have
them always hungry enough to hunt
for food, and always little food for
them to find. If the chicks are at
liberty, feeding often is not so impor-
tant-three times a day would be
sufficient; while If they roam far IN
the fields, finding much food, morning
and evening feeding is all that is nee
essary 1t is not a matter OF great
importance just what grain chicken
Is first fed. The important thing Is
that they be supplied with variety
of grain as we'll as with casein or meat,
grit and green food.

Cure For Melon Bugs

very successful market gardener
told me last fall that he had sure
cure for the little striped melon bugs.
He said he had paid $1,000 for the
secret and it had been worth $4,000
to him since. 1t was nothing more
nor less than a liberal use OF bone
dust or bone meal around the plants.
He says it will absolutely drive away
the striped bugs when everything else
has failed I have not yet had a
chance to try it myself, but 1T Is
possible that he is right. If SO, 1t is
a valuable idea. The bone dust will
be a good thing for the plants, any
way, whether it drives away the bugs
or not, for 1t is rich fertilizer. 1t
can be had from any dealer in fer
tilizers at a cost of probably $500 per
hundred pounds.-C M. s.

PREVENT SOIL EROSION.

One Of the gravest problems Of the
farmers of today who are living on
billy lands is how to prevent soil ero-
sion. Much of the washing of farm
lands can be prevented by blowing
deep, so as to make a subterranean
reservoir for the storage of precipita-
ton. The water penetrates readily
through the loose soil, and it's move
ment through the underlying soil is
very much slower than over the sur
face. Frequent crops of clover or
grass which are plowed under make
the surface soil spongy with humus
and retard the washing Of the SOIL
All hilly lands liable to wash should
have a cover crop during the winter.
A warranty deei will not keep the soil
Of the careless farmer from washing
away. E. II. f.

BY MRS. A. j. WILDER

Grit and charcoal can be found and
made on the farm and the expense or
buying these necessary things can be
saved. If there Is a creek bed near,
haul gravel from that and place near
the hen houses where the poultry can
find it. Charcoal can be made by TAX
ing the live Goals from the stove and
pouring water over them. They will
Immediately turn to charcoal and can
be ground or broken up into the right
size for the chickens to swallow. Better
do this work out of doors as steam
and ashes will fly from the Goals when
the water is poured on them.
In these ways we can greatly reduce
the cost Of keeping our poultry and 1t
will pay us to give time and thought
to our work as the profit in the poultry
business, as in any other, lies between
the cost of production and the amount
received for the marketed products.
Besides comfortable quarters, the
chick, to thrive, must have exercise,
water, grit, a variety of grain food,
green or succulent food, and case1n
or meat foods.
Exercise is as essential as food, and
lack of 1t indicates wrong methods OF
rearing. The natural way for chick
to take it's food is to scratch for 1t,
taking a little at a time. If small
chickens are put into box with
bare floor and fed from trough, they
will become weak. Many will become
clogged behind with the excrements
accommodating on the down, and 1t Is
generally concluded that something
has been fed to cause bowel trouble.
AS q matter of fact they are weak
from lack of exercise, and the appear
ance of diarrhea is only the inability
of the chick to properly expel Its
axcrament.

If the above figures are taken as
foundation, it is very apparent that
there are many cows which are not
paying the cost of their keeping. The
use of the scales and the Babcock test
has discovered in almost every herd
tested some cows that do not pay the
cost of keeping. If dairying is to be
made as profitable a business as It
ought to be and as it has right to
be under proper management, these
robber COWS must be apprehended.
There is no means Of knowing what
a. cow is producing without weighing
and testing her milk at regular inter-
walls. A dairyman selling milk oy
volume may not be concerned in
the butter fat content further than Is
necessary to keep up to legal standard,
but one who Is selling butter fat Is
vitality concerned in the amount each
COW produces. Each dairyman may test
his own COWS, but facing the condition
souarely it is known that very few DO.
At a recent dairymans meeting this
noint was raised-that a testing asso-
citation was not necessary, because
each man could test his own cows
The question was then asked: How
many present have Babcock testers 2
Twelve out Of gathering of fifty
answered in the affirmative. In reply
TO the question, How many of you
who have testers use them ?" only
one answered in the affirmative
The object of cow testing associa-
tons Is to make the use of scales and
Babcock machine a community affair
to unite dairymen into partner
ship for the purpose Of employing
trained man to visit each herd at
regular monthly intervals and weigh
and test the milk Of each COW. At
the end of the year, this man gives
each dairyman record Of the indi-
viduals in his herd with little work
or trouble to him and at the cost of
about one dollar per cow.
The tester weighs and samples the
milk Of each cow at the evening and
morning milking and tests the COM
bined sample for butter fat. Before
