offers the sparkling musical sensation
"FLO FLO"
captivating company and production.
Perfect thirty chorus, book by Fred

snappy lines and catchy lyrics or to the
lavishness with which John Cort has
eostumed his offering.
The musical score of sixteen numbers
is by Silyio Helm, and is of that tinkling
variety demanded in musical comedy. Its
most likely melodies are in the songs
"There's Only One Little Girl" ION
the river Nile, when A Small Town
Girl meets Small Town Boy" Would

TO FEED STANDARDS
Necessary That Feeder Exercise Good
Judgment and Intelligent
Observation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Good judgment and intelligent OBJ
servation on the part of the feeder are
necessary in the application Of feed
ing standards, as the calculation OF
economical rations is not merely a
matter of applied, mathematics. The
local conditions as regards the feed
ing stuffs which can be grown and
purchased economically, and the
value of the products, will have much
to do in determining how closely the
feeder can afford to adhere to the
standard. But such standards or for
mulas, used in connection with the
feeders observation of his animals and
the markets, are very useful, and have
served a good purpose in improving
the practice of feeding. It is in their
abuse that chief danger lies.

If the tile to be used. Drains should
hn large enough to remove the sur

inrpd. It is better to use sizes too
large than too small, and no tile less
than four inches in diameter should
he used. On common dark silt loans
where the average rainfall is approx
mately SO inches, eight-inch tile having
fall of two inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres !;
seven-inch tile for 80 acres, six-inch
tile for 10 acres and fOur-inch tile for
six acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
rpnds upon the soil and varies from
two to four feet. In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two to three
feet, In this case the laterals should
be placed from 80 to 40 feet apart. In
open soils that give up water readily,
and where the drains are three to four
feet deep, the laterals may be from so
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have a fall of
not less than one inch to 100 feet if
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall is OBJ
tanned, particular care must be taken
to secure proper grade. The drain
