CANADIAN FIELD PEAS
GROWN FOR HOG FEED

A few enterprising farmers in North
Dakota have found that the Canadian
field pea grown as hog feed is an
immensely profitable crop in some
parts of the state Usually the Ca
madam field pea does not make salts
factory growth in the heavy soil of the
Red River Valley but in most of the
soils in the central and western part
of the state the Canadian field pea
will make very heavy growth. 1t
may be seeded alone at the rate of two
bushels per acre and pastured by hogs
when partly grown or it may be al
lowed to mature and be used as fat
tening ration either by allowing the
hogs to harvest the crop themselves or
by threshing the crop and feeding the
peas as part Of the grain ration. Usu-
ally the crop proves trifle more sue
cessful when one bushel of oats per
acre is seeded with the two bushels of
peas. The oats will help to support
the pea vines and the crop can then be
harvested better, either by the hogs or
with a binder. If the crop is to be
pastured through the summer months
grain should be fed to the pigs in addi-
ton. A field Of peas seeded beside a
patch of corn that is to be hogged off
will add considerable to the ration
while the hogs are on the corn. One
Of the objections to the use Of peas as
a forage for hogs has been the high
price of the seed. It is, therefore, ad-
visable to grow some seed each year
rather than to depend upon buying it.

Clarence Besette was assaulted by an
unknown person. Mr.. Besette had
gone to the barn to feed his stock and
was in the hay loft when some person
struck him over the head with hard
object, knocking him down the hay
chute. After he lit in somewhat
stunned condition this person jumped
on him, tramping his abdomen in a
severe manner. The unknown assail-
ant then left the half-conscious Be.
settle and went to the hay loft, where
he set fire to the hay, so that the
whole barn was soon in blaze. Mr..
Betette's father, who had been in the
house during the entire affair, was at
tracted by the blaze and came to the
rescue. When he saw his son laying
on the barn floor he endeavored to
take him out but was confronted, it is
said, by this desperate person, who
now leveled a.gun at the father Of the
injured one. For some reason, the
man who attempted murder left his
crime half done, and no trace of him
has been found. AS soon as Clarence
Besette was taken from the barn the
horses were taken out. The barn was
entirely destroyed. Four sets of har-
ness and number of bushels of feed
which were in the barn, were burned.
This is one of the most strange af-
fairs that his been recorded in this
part Of the country for some time. The
motive which caused the assault is not
known nor has single trace of the
person been found. The Deputy Sher-
if, Mike Maher, was summoned and
given the details of the affair and will
locate the man if there is the slightest
clue to 60 by. Mr.. Besette is recov-
ering from the injuries he received.

OH, YOU SYMPHONIES!
LEFTY" NEEDS YOU
Demands on Orchestral Oddities for
This Music-Farce Are
Exhausting

When the advance agent of a musical
piece produces n plot which demands that
the theatre management furnish an or
chestra the Instrumentation of which in
cludes an oboe and a bassoon, said advance
agent Immediately finds himself unpopu-
iar-especially with the leader Of the house
orchestra. upon whom devolves the duty of
providing the requirements of the plot.
Oboe and bassoon players are rare birds
in the musical comedy fraternity. and the
professionals have so many calls upon their
tended run of musical comedy is usually
a difficult proposition.
But the music plot of an attraction call
ing for oboes and bassoons does not COM
pare as a troub!e-breeding document with
that for 80 Long Lefty" the farce with
music which Oliver Morosco will present
at the Lyric beginning April .. Three
items which appear on the $50 Long Lefty"
music plot are these: First, saxaphonists
second. banjoists; third, a marimbaphonist.
The three constitute a demand which would
cause any house orchestra leader to throw
up his hands in despair.
There are hardly enough accomplished
saxaphonists in the country to make a
healthy noise. Banjoists are more numer-
Gus. but marimbaphonst is compara-
lively unheard-of creature /; his native habi-
tat is Guatemala. where the instrument itself
is as numerous as the parlor organ in this
country.
Having delivered his plot to the local or
chestra leader, and having enjoyed the con-
sternation which the latter invariably dis
plays after reading it, the 80 Long Lefty"
representative calms the others fears by
explaining that if these musicians cannot
be obtained locally Mr.. Morosco will send
them along from New York. The producer
keeps under contract throughout the season
an orchestra made up of saXaphones, banjos
and marmbaphones, the purpose of which
is to play the music of 80 Long Lefty"
wherever and whenever it is found impos-
sible to make up such a musical organiza-
tion in a city on 80 Long Lefty" itinerary.
A determined effort to recruit such an or
chestra here having been futile the Morosco
organization will accompany the 80 Long

occupy the orchestra pit at the Lyric

THE "FLASH" DRAMA
Is LATEST WRINKLE
Emily Ann Wellman to Import Nov
city to Keith's Next
Week

The initial performance of what is called
a Hash drama is to be given at Keith's
next week when Emily Ann Wellman makes
her debut in vaudeville in a playlet called
Young Mrs. Stanford 1t was written by
Edward Elsner and is presented i'm seven
scenes. The theme has to do with the eter-
nal triangle and the piece was originally
written as the curtain-raiser to one of
whom Miss Wellman appeared for several
seasons.
The title of flash" drama Is given
through the manner i'm which the various
characters OF the story are revealed to the
audience. 1t is a sort of motion.picture
effect although all the characters appear
in real life. The stage is entirely dark and
through the aid of powerful lights, arranged
in the entrances and wings. the characters
of the play are brought into view The
idea of the flash has been used for nov
city effects in the presentation of song
numbers, but this is the first time on record
hat it has been utilized for dramatic pur-
poses.
Emily Ann Wellman. who graduated from
the American Academy of Dramatic Arts
in 1907, and scored that same year in 1.-THE
Guilty Man. has spent most of her pro-
fessional career in the companies of Louis
Mann, appearing with him in his most sue
ccssful productions. Her initial appear
ance in vaudeville is therefore not only one
of Importance, but marks an epoch in the
two-a-day style of entertainment through
the novelty of the vehicle in which she is
appearing.
