"The Land Of JOY" the Spanish Ear
zuela at the Park, which is by way of
being the best musical show New York
has seen for many a year, has been
given a new lease of life by William
Morris. On Monday he will take the
production to tho Knickerbocker for a
two weeks engagement with but one
American in the cast. This city has been
strangely unappreclatlve OF The Land
of Joy.' Assuming there is no demand
for an artistic musical comedy, it at
least would DC expected that the abun-
dant "pep'' of the music and dancing
should hold an appeal for public
noted for it's love Of that sort of n
thing. Perhaps the piece will play to
crowded houses whtn it is more adj
vartagcously housed in the theatre dis :
trict, though it is deserving Of Il trip
to the Bronx Opera House.
A production of "Seventccn" will be
made by Stuart Walker at the Booth
Theatre on January q. Seventeen" is
new comedy made from the popular
short stories of Booth Harrington.
While Frank Tinney was finishing
his act last evening at the Winter Gar
den the stage manager stuck his head
from the wings and whispered loudly,
Frank, it's a boy!" Now, this an
nouncement usually means Joy and
thanksgiving. Not so on this occa-
sion. Tinney had been betting against
such contingency for days, and the
sen of his offspring lost him just
81 500.
"The Naughty Wife," at the Harris
Theatre, broke the seasons record for
long runs of farocs last evening. The
piece has had about sevcnty-fivc per-

TRIMMING FOR TUB FRoCKs
Stitching Will Be Popular, Sometimes
Done With Heavy Thread to Sim
ulste Narrow Braid.

In making up tub frocks for the COM
ing summer. stitching is a popular
trimming touch, and sometimes it is
done with heavy linen thread so
that narrow braid is simulated. An
other popular decorative touch is the
use of narrow bands or bias pieces of
contrasting fabric stitched on. For
example, frocks of sheer cotton volle
are trimmed in bands of heavy linen,
usually in contrasting color.
Lingerie frocks will be popular this
summer. Early appearance in the best
shops promises vogue not based sole
ly on torrld weather. Usually lingerie
frocks are not pushed at all by the
shops until May. or until the near ar
rival of hot weather. but this year they
came in along with the major style
showing.
Many sheer volles, organdles, dotted
muslins, etc, are shown, and this
trend in frocks has also served to
stimulate demand for ribbons, which
trim them in various ways and are
used as sashes, girdles, etc.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
In proportion TO the prices that II
brings, live stock Is less expensive to
transport than feedstuffs. This fact
makes the production OF live stock an
especially desirable industry on those
Irrigation projects which are remote
from the large consuming centers. Re
cent experiments by the U. $. depart
ment OF agriculture. the results of
which are published as Bulletin ASS,
Indicate that the most profitable meth
od on such land OF marketing bulky
products like hay and grain is to feed
them TO hogs. In addition to the in
creased prices obtained in this indirect
way for crops. the manure left upon
the farm enriches the soil.
In comparison with other forms of
live stock industry, hog raising on lrrl-
gated land has attracted more OF those
with comparatively small amount of
Initial capital, and n farmer can get
well started In the business in a short
time.
The necessary buildings are COM
paratively cheap and 1t takes less feed
TO produce pound of pork than any
other kind of meat raised on the farm.
The Irrigation farmer who has grasped
the Significance of these facts and
wishes TO enter the business needs in
formation on the value of alfalfa as n
hog pasture, the value of different
kinds and quantities Of grain used 20

tlcability OF hocging down corn. 1t
was primarily TO obtain data on these
points that the departments experi-
ments We're conducted. The results
are given in detail in the bulletin al
ready mentioned.
From these experiments It appears
that under conditions similar to those
which prevail on the North Platte irri-
CATION project, where the work was
carried on. 1t is much more profitable
TO let hogs pasture alfalfa than to cut
the fields and sell the hay; and, sec
ondly, that alfalfa pasture can be
made 10 yield much more profitable re-
turns in pork when a two or three per

TUNIC BLOUSE IN NEW FORM
Made Of Filmy Fabrics and Richly EN-
broidered, II Is Different From,
Those Of Other Days.

The French dressmakers have intro
duced variation In the tunic or
basque blouse which is merely a re-
production of an old Egyptian gar
ment which is belted in at the waist
line, made of transparent and colorfuf
fabrics and lavishly heaped with en-
broldery in beads, paillettes and silk
floss.
The introduction of this garment
does not strike one as particularly new,
for we have worn the tunic In one
form or another for two seasons but
when the new version of it is dropped
over q narrow or straight plated
skirt, and made in its most approved
manner. it takes on a different aspect
from the tunics of other days, says a
fashion authority in the New York
Times.
1t is cut somewhat In the manner of
a Chinese kimono. and the material is
so filmy that It falls against the skirt
without ungraceful fullness.
The buyers have brought out subtle
shades of coloring for these tunics, and
the embrolderies have introduced old
methods of needlework, such as
shadow scallops in gold ana silver,
with symbolic designs of Egypt in
terra Gotta and turquoise blue.
The woman who has good skirt
for afternoon or evening wear may
find these Alexandrian tunics joy
and blessing.
Jenny brings out a number of these
tunics that reach to and sometimes
below the knees. They are of chiffon
and tulle, and sometimes in the thin
sauze tissue that has been revived
from the looms of the thirteenth CEN
tury.

BLACKLEG IN CALVES
NOW MORE VIRULENT
Vaccination win Prevent Disease
in Most Cases, but Not ALL
Serum on Market.

(By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins. ColoD
Blackleg in calves seems to have
become more virulent of late. Vac
clnation will prevent the disease in
most cases but not all. Another diff
Guilty lies in the fact that after ad-
ministering the vaccine, calves are
not protected against the disease for
period of about two weeks, and In
the meantime, If the herd Is infected,
many of them may die. There is now
blackleg serum on the market which
will give immediate protection and
ssmbined with the virus will give
lasting immunity. The serum also has
curative value II given early in the
course of the disease.
The Kansas Agricultural college
makes the statement that "a highly
potent blackleg serum can be pro-
duced from the horse" The claim is
also made that the filtered fluid taken
from the diseased tissue OF the
shoulder has great minimizing prop
critics
This marks a great advance In the
control of blackleg but does not in
the least detract from the Importance
Of absolutely destroying the carcass Of
every animal that dies from blackleg
and adopting all other possible pre-
yentlve measures.

distance from the house.

The DzefhDd of farming the land refers
10 the reiasion3a position OF the titled

of buildings. The position OF the
group should be such that the haul

Around the bottom Of the dress and

The most novel feature was the wool

the edge OF the collar and cuffs, also at
the top of the hem, an edging was
crocheted with white wool and then
with a row OF china blue.
The box plait was Prnamented by
three large tight balls of china blue

ti.n which best meets the conditions
mentioned. the next consideration is
the arrangement Of buildings within
the group. As general rule, the
farmer likes to have his buildings so
arranged that II is possible to see all
OF them from the house. This arrange
ment undoubtedly has its advantages.
especially back and forth between the
house and the stables, IL Is an advan-
tage to locate these buildings as near
the house as possible without setting
up difficulties osp 20 the transmission
OF dlsaCrpeaiiie oilors or difficulties in
moving machines and vehicles through
the farmyard. When the stables are
fairly close to the house Ii Is possible
to quickly hear. any disturbance among
the stock.
Drainage affects the arrangement OF
buildings since IN order to obtain satis-
factory drainage each building must
he placed whPre the soil conditions
and lay OF the land are best suited for
the purpose. The passage Of sunlight
must not be obStructed. Sunlight Is
the best disease preventer the farmer
can obtain and his buildings must he

Of IL. Another influence is the cOndi.

tablishad. OF course. the same condi.

quently entered. For instance. the Inn
plement shed need not be as close to

located In the direction which will be
taken in drawing the implements to
the field. The granary should be
handy tn the stables and provided with
paved driveway connected with the
highway either directly or by way OF
the house. Perhaps the greatest
amount Of labor in the farm group cen.
ters around the general barn and, there
fore. the smaller buildings should be
placed after this mere important struc-
ture has been given consideration.
Some farmers use a combination Of
barns TO house their live stock. The OBJ

used primarily as cattle feed, but
now ii is used widely as a feeG for
horses, swine, end sheep.
Less use has been made Of alfalfa
for sheep, however, than for any other
class OF live stock. Experience and
experiments have shown its wonderful
value as a sheep feed. Its value for
this purpose will be still greater in the
future than at present.
"When alfalfa is pastured great care
should be taken TO prevent bloat. IL
the alfalfa has become woody or Is
mixed with other grasses the danger
is somewhat lessened. Care should be
taken at all times, however. Before
turning the sheep ON alfalfa they
should be filled up on hay. fodder, or
other roughage, and turned out only
when the alfalfa is free from moisture
of any kind.
"They should be allowed TO pasture
only short time the first day and the
length of time should be increased a
little from day 10 day until the sheep
are accustomed TO the feed. Flock
masters have found that it is never
safe TO give sheep free access 10 al
falfa pasture.
alfalfa hay IS adapted to the feed
ing OF sheep because It Is cheap
source OF protein aud also because It
supplies enough bulk so that sheep
may be fed TO advantage on it alone.
THE amount Of alfalfa fed will de-
pend upon the price and the amount
available. When 1t Is cheap and plen.
tiful and other rOughages are scarce,
alfalfa could compose the entire ration
for the flock. On the other hand. when
hay IS scarce and high priced. the ra-
tion could be made up partly Of straw,
fodder and like rOughages. Compared
with other roughages alfalfa as a
sheep feed has the advantage, espe-
cially where grown in large amounts.
In experimental feeding trials, as-
eraging 100 days each, alfalfa was COM
pared with timothy and prairie hay.
The lots fed alfalfa made greater gains
and required less feed per 100 pounds
than did the Lots fed timothy and
prairie hay"
