"Anna christie"-if you can-such a
play being presented to mixed audi
ences a few decades ago. All the fire
departments and police reserves
would have been called out and the
entries would have been choked with
fainting "gentlewomen." And yet,
today. there is nothing obnoxious.
nothing unsavory to the presentation
of the wrecking agony of life's depths
of girl the victim of clrcum-
stances and brute men--of that old
davil sea" and that old davil booze"
as well. And Of regeneration of the
soul thru love.
Miss Sweet Is the star-but she has
real support in George Marion as
her old. "squarehead" Swedish father.

Legumes Keep Up
Milk Production
Crops Also Increase Soil
Fertility.

Dairy farmers are learning more
and more each year how much they
are dependent upon the legumes. II
is fact that no section is a success
full producer of milk, butter and
cheese until some of the clovers or
allied crops have become abundant.
Cows will keep up their milk produc-
ton during the winter when fed
legumes with small grain ration.
Half the amount of grain seems to
answer the purpose when the animals
are changed from cheaper roughage
to the clover. alfalfa or soy bean hay.
These homegrown feeds are a boon to
the dairyman and every farmer with Il
few head of dairy cattle should plan
to grow legumes to the fullest extent.
Remember that the legumes also in
crease soil fertility and they supply
protein and mineral matter in larger
percentage than any other form of
roughage.
Tests. made at the experimental
farms show that the farmer with plen-
ty Of soy bean hay. alfalfa or clover in
his barns will not have to dig down for
so much grain, and still will lose moth
ing in the way Of production. Legumes
largely take the place of high-priced
concentrates like cottonseed meal and
wheat bran, thus lowering the cost Of
producing milk. Dairymen with Silage
and legume rOughage can go light on
grain and be little out Of pocket when
the milk OF cream check arrives.
If legumes are not available this
winter, plans should be made to reni-
edy the defect before another winter.
Soy beans are being grown almost
everywhere with success, clover Of
some variety will grow on any soil
with proper treatment, alfalfa is a
more difficult proposition, but its posi-
biIities should be tried out before fail
ure Is admitted Alfalfa has been con-
sidered the best Of the legumes, but
experiments have proved that clover
as a part of the ration for dairy cows
is fully equal. Clover and alfalfa can
not be made to produce crop of hay
the first year, but soy beans planted
in May should yield at least two tons
of hay per acre next summer. If clover
and alfalfa are not grown on the farm,
steps should be taken without dela,'
to remedy the defect. Some soils re-
quire lining before the legumes can be
successfully grown. There are also
many farms, on which few legumes
are grown, but which are all ready to
produce these. crops abundantly II
given the chance.

Partnership Bulls Will
Make Profitable Return

Herd sires owned comparatively do
not tend to spread contagious abortion,
as is sometimes supposed, say the ami
nal men at the New York State Col.
lege of Agriculture at Ithaca. In many
parts of New York two or three men
who live near together and think alike
about the proper breed and handling
OF herd sires have bought them to-
gether and bettered their herds at
comparatively small expense. Many
New York farmers have bought coop,
eratively, say the college workers.
Bulls bought in this way have proved
better herd sires than individual farm
ers could have gotten in any other way
and each farmer has paid less than the
cost Of an inferior animal The result
has been bigger milk checks and more
valuable herds.

Complete Hurry Periods
From April Until Winter

In the growing of such tree fruits
as apples, peaches, pears and cherries
there are two periods when nothing
may be allowed to interfere with the
orchard work IL there is to be. success,
says Rural New Yorker. Through
April, May and June the various OPP
erations of blowing, spraying and cul-
tivating must be done at the proper
times. Other work may be run in be-
tween, but these have the first CALL In
July the cherries must be picked. APP
pie thinning should be done in July
to be of great value. although it will
have some effect if done later, provid-
ed weather conditions are right. About
the first of September Bartlett pears
must be picked. From the middle of
September until late in October
peaches must be handled as they
ripen. Kieffer pears must be picked
just when Baldwin apples are in best
condition to handle. From the middle
of September until about the middle Of
November the apple crop must be har-
vested, whether anything else is done
or not. If Duchess apples are grown
this period is about two weeks longer.
1t will be seen that peaches and Kief-
fer pears do not work in well with a
large apple orchard, and in practice
they prove to be very great nuisance.
Cherries, Bartlett pears and apples
work together very well. Where there
is market raspberries will work into
this combination. The growing of hay.
oats, wheat and corn will fill the gaps
and make practically a complete hurry
