HAD A CAPITAL 0F s400
In Six Years He Was Well Off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor- rowed from a loan company, in re- hitting to them the last payment on his mortgage, decided to give them the history of his experience, on Mani- toba farm. It was that of many anoth- CT farmer, and for the benefit of those who contemplate a change the liberty Is taken of reproducing it.
 "I will give you here a brief sum- mary of my experience since coming here six years ago. I was a new hand at farming, my trade being meat-cut- ting and butchering. My capital was S4OO, which was q first payment on my quarter section (160 acres). Most of my stock, harness, implements, etc, were bought at sales, all "on time" necessarily. The buildings on the place were about as good as nothing and had either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely. There were 26 acres broken, and very badly farmed, bringing poor returns the first year." After mentioning a number of mischances, he says: Tn spite of all these drawbacks, I have done well. l consider my farm worth $500 to S4.o0O. I have four head of horses, 12 of cattle. over 100 purebred Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur- keys, besides implements, harness, etc, to run my place. I have a well ITO feet deep with an ineXhauStible supply of water. The well with pump cost me S400. have built a S125 chicken house and put up nearly $50 worth of poultry fencing; have built root cellars to hold over 5000 bushels of potatoes and other vegetables. As to income, I raise about ten acres of garden and roots annually which net from S600 to S1 10OO total. I generally sell from 20 to 70 tons timothy hay which brings from SC to S14 per ton. My grain is most all used on the farm except few hundred bushels sold to the neigh bors for seed. My four milk COWS bring in from $50 to SS0 each (counting calf). Last year so hens laid GOO dozen eggs which averaged more than 9 cents a dozen q always work for winter egg production). The surplus hens were sold in spring. dressed at S1 each. My turkeys average S2.50 each in fall. By having vegetables to feed my young cattle, the two-year-old steers bring S75 each in spring."-Advertise

BEST LOCATION FOR ORCHARD
Flowing and Cultivation Is Difficult on Hiilsides or Tops-Northern
 Slope Favored.

While hillsides and hilltOps are favorable sites for orchards of peach, plum, pear or apple, or indeed for any of the tree fruits, there are some Ob- jectiOns. It is more difficult to blow and cultivate orchards on steep hill sides, more difficult to spray, more difficult to handle the fruit when picked.
 The advantages of hillside or hill top orchards are that they are less often injured by late spring frosts and the trees not liable to have wet feet, which is a fatal condition in any or chard.
 If the hillside has a northern slope 1t will be an advantage, for the blOs- sons will be retarded about ten days over trees grown on the eastern or southern slope.

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste. liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.

ORCHARD GLEANINGS
TO ERADICATE PEAR PSYLLA
Spray Mixture of Nicotine and Soap Is Effective-Apply Lime Sulphur
 in the Spring.

 Nicotine and soap are the best ma terials to use for this purpose. Use one pint nicotine and four pounds soap to 100 gallons of water. The soap helps to make it stick. Spray in No vember or December after spell of cold weather. on a day when the tenn perature is rising and is about 40 de grees or more. You will then kill many of the psylla which winter in the mature stage.
 In spring just before the blossom buds open at the end spray with win ter strength lime-sulphur, one to eight. By that time the eggs are deposited and are very susceptible to injury. Two applications a year made in this way will hold the psylla in check.

RUSSIAN SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA PLEASES
Miss Emma Roberts Is Soloist at Con-
cert at National.

The Russian Symphony Orchestra, con-
Quoted by Modest Altsohulsr. gave its
nrst concert yesterday afternoon 1t the
National Theater before large audi
encs. Miss Emma Roberta q Southern
girl. was the soloist.
The program. which was entirely Rus
sian In character, was one of the most
interesting Of the season. Opening with
the Serbian Fantasie' and continuing
with "Scheherazade," symphonic suite,
Rimsky-KorAkon's music was rendered
In all its contrasting beauty. The chief
these OF the "Scheheraxade'' suite Is the
sea motive. called by some the Sinbad
motive. It In proclaimed Immediately and
heavily In fortissimo unison and octaves.
Then follows the main body of the move
ment- allegro non troppo. which begins
with combination of the chief theme,
the Sea motive. with a rising and falling
Arpeggio figure. the Wave motive There
Is crescendo. and 3 meditation leads
to M major. The ending of the nrst mo-
tive Is very quiet
Ths second movement. the Scherheraxade
motive. repeats the first movement IN the
BASES and leads into an orfenta1ly col
ored intermexzo, with a most Joyous end
ing IN contrast with the first movement.
The third movement is In simple romanza
form, consisting OF two folk songs. The
finale opens with q "reminiscences Of the
Sea motive, followed by the echeherazade
motive, and leads into thu Festival at
Basdad The FESTIVAL motive rises to a
spsendid oifms1. end thsn suds qussery
IN the devdopmsut Of ths Sea and wsvs
motives.
Two Caueasion skstches By lpposokof-
Ivanon found much favor with ehs audi
ence. These numbers wsre followed most
effectively by Rachmaniofrp Prelude in
@ minor. Realtsins its sorority and the
martial qualifications Of the work Mr.
Aitschuler adapted It for the orchestra last
summer. Yesterday was the frst time
Washington audience had the pleasure of
hearing this adaptation.
Tschiakowsky's Overture fHz' COM
pleted the program. "God Preserve Thy
People," a Russian hymn. furnishes the
opening theme. which rs followed by frag-
ments of the Marsefllatse Ths second
theme is brought forth after q stormy
development OF the first. a section Of II
being based on = folk-song of Novgorod
Finally the coda Is reached, the time
changing to Allegro vivace, and over the
fanfares thunders the theme OF the Rus
sian nadonal hymn. With this material
the work is brought to a dramatic close.
Miss Roberts has . rch. weiI-rounded
contralto voice The audience was de-
lighted with her Interpretation Of Rach-
maninoff's little Russian folk-songs, as
well as her moro serious numbers by
Arensky.
The President and Mrs Wilson, with a
party OF friends, occupied one of the
boxes.
Tbs acoompanist for Miss Roberts was
