BurIesque Monday Night

An attraction that IS finding great
favor with patrons of the Columbia
circuit this season is Barney Ger
ards "Girls-de-Looks'' which was a
big hit here last season. and comes
to the Majestic theatre beginning
with a matinee on Monday next. 1t
brings those two funny fellows.
Joseph X. Watson and Will H.
Conan, in their famous creations
"Slitkin and Slotkin."
'Slitkin and Slotkin-Bankers and
Brokers" is the title of the book
written by Barney Gerard and JOS
eph X. Watson.
In the present show the two funny
Hebrews acquire an interest in a
firm of bankers and brokers. and
their ignorance results in many
complications, causing almost inces-
them, however, until they start to
trace a supposedly highly valuable
stock, which it develops they gave
away for nothing. The laughter
runs riotous from here until the
finish of the show.
Mr.. Gerard has engaged an excel
lent cast. among whom may be
found some of the %cleverest people
ever seen in burlesque and a chorus
of twenty under twenty, each and
every one of whom is a beauty.
From an artistic point of view the
costuming and scenery of the Girls
de-Looks'' will excel any of Mr..
Gerard's former endeavors, he hav-
ing given milliners, costumers, mod
istes and scenic artists a free hand
and an order that everything must
be of the best.

happy as a wife. she starts for the
| city, but Muir finds her waiting for
the train. She confdes to him the

GRAIN ALLOWANCE FOR HENS

PEELED to Take Necessary Ex-
ercise to Find II.

The backyard flock should have in
addition to the table scraps a light
feed of grain every morning.
Four or five handfuls of grain
about one-half pint-scattered in the
litter will be sufficient for a flock of
20 to % hens. By handful is meant
as much as can be grasped in the
hand. By scattering 1t in the litter
the hens will be compelled to scratch
in order to find the grain and in this
way TO take exercise. which is decid-
edly beneficial to them.
In case not enough good. sound,
substantial table scraps are available
to furnish full feeds. both at noon and
at night, another feed of the grain
mixture should be thrown into the lit
ter at the night feeding and should
consist of as much as the hens viii
eat up clean. poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Agri-
culture say. In summer or during
suitable weather the grain can be fed
by scattering 1t on the ground outside
the house. A good grain mixture for
this purpose is composed of equal
parts by weight of wheat, cracked
corn, and oats. Another suitable
grain mixture is composed of two
parts by weight of cracked corn and
one part of oats.

Maundy Thursday.

The thought of Easter, and Maundy
Thursday, brings to the minds of many
the ancient custom, still prevailing in
England, of distributing aims or
Maundy money by the sovereign. This
money is given by the king to a limit
ed number of his subjects on Maundy
Thursday.
The practice is an ancient one,
whose beginnings are lost In the haze
of time. Most collectors are familiar
with the coins which the king distrib.
utes on this occasion. They are coined
at the royal mint for this special use
and occasion only. They are usually
penny two-penny, three.penny and
four-penny pieces. Ii takes the four
of them to form a set, and for COM
plete set numismatists often pay
fancy prices.

INCREASE YIELD
OF GARDEN SOIL
Only WelI-Rotted Manure Should
Be Applied as Top Dressing

ed Advantage.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Asriculture)
Nothing equals plenty of stable or
yard manure to make a garden plot
produce the best crops. Garden spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture mean by this not
merely a meager scattering over the
surface, but an application about two
inches thick. 1t should be applied in
the fall to form protecting cover dur
ing the winter. If this is done, the
manure should he turned under as
early in the spring as possible, but any
material too rough to turn under
should be piled in a compost heap 10
rot. Only well-rotted manure should
be applied in the spring as a top dress
ing. After the land has been plowed,
scatter the rotted manure over the
surface and work it In With the har-
row. II the garden is spaded the ma
nure should be worked in with spad-
ing fork or rake.
Elements Sometimes Deficient.
Large quantities of manure should
be used On a tenth-acre garden, that
is, one measuring about 4312 feet by
100 feet, apply from one to two tons
two loads-in the fall. If truck is
used for hauling one load generally
will be sufficient. If a corresponding
amount is piled up in the autumn with
a little sod or soil mixed with it, and
worked over once or twice during the
winter, it will give good supply of
compost for use as a spring top dress
ing.
Where this amount of manure is
used very little chemical fertilizer is
needed. However, manure very often
does not have a sufficient quantity of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in
it, and it may be desirable to add
commercial fertilizers containing . or
3 per cent nitrogen, 8 or 10 per cent
phosphoric acid and to 6 per cent
potash at the rate of 100 pounds on
a tenth-acre garden. This also can be
spread broadcast and worked into the
soil when the land is being pulverized
ready for planting
Several crops require special fertil-
izers. For instance, lettuce. cabbage,
spinach, kaIe, and in fact all of the
salad crops, and those which are grown
