Hints for the Husbandman


From the Lancaster Almanac
Fish bite best during the signs OF
the Fish, Grab or Scorpion Fish at
| night in light Of moon, but not in
| moon, as fish cannot see in dark of
| nooIi and are hungrier in daytime.
The hair should be cut on the in
crease of the moon IL you want
thick head of hair; on the decrease,
if tho reverse.
The same applies to sheep; if you
shear sheep in the increase of the
noon, their wool will grow again BET
ter and stronger.
Poulterers, butchers and meat
dealers should not kill when the moon
is waning. during which period all
dead matter tends to shrink, decay
and decompose; this is the reason
why meat som etimes shrinks on boil
ing and does not keep well. If butch
cred in full of moon, or a little be-
fore, pork will not only be better, but
will also swell up and enlarge in boil
ing.
The roofs of houses, barns and
other buildings should be shingled
and wooden rail fences staked when
the horns of the moon point down
ward, as the shingles and stakes VIII
not rise up as they otherwise will.
Fences should be made and re-
paired when the horns of the moon
point upward, as fences then will not
sink into the ground.
In Behalf of Hon. ArbuckIe.
Sir-The writer will pay $4,000 900
for the Arbuckle "fillums." Hon. Ar
buckle is all right. No man baptized
with the name of Roscoe Conkhng
could go wrong. Arbuckle was gem
erous enough to give party to lot
of "sawdusters," and an accident hap
pened which might have happened at
any jollification. There is no onus
on Hon Arbuckle and the ''fillums"
0rfh double their annralSG0
value
There is no romance if the history
of the stage today. The leading play
crs usually are man and wife, linked
together on the stage for the pur-
pose of ''panhandling" the public and
giving nothing in return There Is no
mystery about the stage, but there is
about the "filIums." 1 wonder how
they produce them? JIG. S.
It is, we should say, all a matter of
taste One who objects to the fact
that actors of the legitimate stage
dull and uneventful domesticity would
naturally turn to the motion picture
world for his dramatic thrills.
We have always assumed that mo-
ton picture actors also marry and
lead the life of dull and uneventful
domesticity. But that is mere as
sumption. There is nothing in the
to indicate it.
A few shreds of mystery still may
cling to the movies" but Harry Leon
Wilson, who is doing a fine job of
unwilling, has the silent drama strip /
ped to it's undertakings with half a /
dozen chapters still to write We pre- |
dict that by the time Mr.. Wilson COM |
pletes his contract ''fillum' romance I
will be looking for a handy bush be- |
hind which to hide.
A Considerable Effort.
By a New York Sport Writer.
The home-run king is nothing if not
original. He appeared on the field
this morning clad in a voluminous
pair of brooches that hung clear down
to his knees. The shape of the two
parts of this garment was
absolutely cylindrical. and they looked
as tho they had been cut to measure
from some ocean-going tug. Even
with this forqnidab BILE costume, the
fence in the few brief moments of
batting before the rain.
Probably our colleague on the eve
ming side is perfectly safe in intimat-
ing he can't stand +. Scott Fitzgerald
pressed ourself in similar veintit came
blamed near costing this newspaper
an advertising contract
The phrase last time" is used ad-
Visedly. We do not mean the last
previous time" We mean the last
time"
AS for Mr.. Fitzgerald, we no longer
read him. altho we do not wish to
