THE SPECIFIES
DRAMA SOON TO
0 TALK
By WILLIAM FARNUM

1t Is my opinion that actors ana actresses
| VIII have to learn parts before long for the
| Silent drama as they have always had TO for
| the spoken drama. Everything points to a
| growth In the newer art In that direction
or course, actiongwill probably always re-
main the dominate note in the films II is
undoubtedly true that the biggest and stead-
lest advances will be made In obtaining new
ana better Photographic effects. but. after
ALL the foundation OF every good picture is
the scenario. And in the higher grade
scenario there are many scenes. in which
the only action is the ood.old-fashloned-
word-of-mouth kind-wlth the appropriate
gestures
Pantomime is naturally out of the uues-
tion In such cases. The actor has to saw
something, or the scene falls fiat WHY not
make the thing natural by giving him a.
definite speaking part? Motion pictures are
developing to the point where arm-waying
and hnger-pointing will no longer be suf-
ncleht' Animated Photography has made
such wonderful success largely because Il
can give an impression of realism-a far
more perfect illusion-than even the stage.
In the past-in the days of the one
reeler-half of the actors dialogue in the
silent drama consisted of raillery and
1oshing" at one another's expense. Man
gesture so the actor left with nothing but
motlons-the bare skin and bones Of his
work-invented little solioqules of his
own.
Spoken parts for screen stars seem in
eVitaole to me, because the moving picture
fans are now becoming SO adept that they
can "decpher" many of the words which
the actors utter. The films have trained
more than one near-expert in the art of
Hp-reading. This means that the day
when the star could and did say almost
any old thing" has gone 1t will never
return.
Every one has seen dozens of situations
where they have recognized instantly such
phrases as Curse you !" from the villain,
or II love you' from the hero. Here the
obviousness of the situation has helped TO
explain the words Speaking parts would
make the reverse equally true. The use
Of words would help explain the sltua-
tlon.
Lip-reading certainly must be considered.
DO you remember the Incident short time
since OF the members Of the deaf-and-dumb
asylum who visited a motion picture exhI-
bition and then returned home protesting
against the language used on the screen?
II is just such occurrences that will
probably take the expression silent drama" |
out OF the synonyms for moving pictures

Healthy Hogs Resist Cholera.

Hogs are not as resistant to
disease at this season of the
year as they are in the spring
when getting an abundance of
green forage, and having access
to wide range. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to give them more
attention and better care to off
set seasonal conditions and
danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot,
or on the same acre of ground,
day after day. This c~ontaminates
the feeding places, and also at
tracts crows, pigeons, and spar
rows which may have been feed
ing with a cholera infected herd.
Throw the feed out in a differ
ent spot each day, thus giving
the pigs a clean "plate" from
which to eat.
The water supply is of much
Importance to the health of the

Select Seed Corn Now.


One of the most profitable
things a farmers club can do at
this time of the year, according
to w. H. Baker of the College
of Agriculture of the University
of Missouri, is to provide a sup
ply of reliable seed corn for
next years planting. Most of
the supply may usually be Sc
cured by intelligent field selec-
ton from the best fields in the
community before the time of
the early freezes, says Mr.. Bak-
er. AS soon as selected the
corn should be stored in racks in
such a way as to secure rapid
and thorough drying.
Experimental work along this
line shows that the yield of corn
may be increased 5 to 10 per
cent by early field selection and
careful storage of the seed as
compared with the ordinary
method of crib selection in the
spring. twenty-five growers
constituting a farmers club in
any good corn section of Mis-
souri, may easily raise a fifty
thousand bushel corn crop under
average conditions. A 5 per
cent Increase of this crop would
be worth at least fifteen hun
dred dollars or sixty dollars per
man. The extra labor required
for early field selection and
proper storage would not exceed
two days per man.
why not have a seed corn day
devoted to the selection, and
careful storge of next years
seed corn?" asks Mr.. Baker.
Every one who knows how
should help. The boys could be
taught the art of field select.

have the Importance of good
seed impressed upon their minds

where they have an opportunity,
but if they are allowed to eat
all the grain they want, such as
corn, they will get fat and lay
only a few eggs, yet should be
held blameless for the condition.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1916-09-15
Does a Hen Get Too Fat To
Lay?

The question, docs a hen get
too fat to lay?" is often asked
and naturally this question is as
ISOLATED with feed and feeding.
After observing many expert
ments here at the Experiment
station, we are led to believe
that this question should be re-
versed and instead of saying the
hen gets too fat to lay, we should
say the hen can't lay is the rea-
son she gets too fat.
If a hen is fed a raation which
makes ten yolks for each five
whites, she will make only five
eggs and the other five yolks
are taken back into the hens
system and built into fat. In
this way she becomes very fat,
yet produces only a few eggs.
In this case the hen is not at
fault, for if she had been given
a balanced ration, she would
have manufactured eggs instead
of fat.
A good example of a mistake
of this kind is permitting hens
to eat with fattening hogs. We
often hear farmers say that the
hens eat with the fattening hogs
and waste the feed. They are
right so far as egg production
is concerned, for a ration which
is good for fattening hogs is
not good for laying hens. The
reason is that the ration pro-
duces more yolks than whites
and therefore the hens get fat
instead of producing eggs.
If the hens have range and ac-
cess to the hog feed, the better
plan is to furnish meat food of
some kind which is heavier in
the production of whites. In
this way, the hens eat less of
the hog feed, yet produce more
eggs.
During late fall and winter the
hens meat supply is cut off for
during the summer they have a
supply of worms, bugs, grass
hoppers, ETC., but frosts and
cold weather destroy this sup
ply. 1t is a mistake not to cor
rect this condition for most
grains fed to hens are stronger
IN the production of yalks than
IN the production of whites.
Meats of all kinds, skinned milk
etc, are stronger in the produc.
tion of whites than yolks, and
would therefore be good to feed
in connection with grain ia
form a balanced ration.
About the only solution for
this problem where hens have
free range and access to grain
is to place the meats, milk, etc.
where the hens can get it and
let them balance their own "a.
ton, which they do very wei
