Through The Static

"Cavallerira Rusticana" was a sue cess as far as transmission and re- Ception were concerned last night. WEAF and the combine broadcast the opera by the Rizzi Grand Opera company and the program came in loud on all wave lengths, with no fading and fair conditions. The voices were clear and not too loud. It was about the most successful opera broadcast we have heard.
 Reception was excellent last night. At times a roar was noticeable, but this was on only fot a few seconds at a stretch and bothered only the low wave lengths Stations came in loud and clear and there was prac- tically no static until II o'clock, when it came in at intervals in light crashes, Altogether pretty good night.
 II was announced at CNRO last evening that the first anniversary of that station will be observed tonight. A special program will be transmit ted and q great variety of prizes and souvenirs will be distributed. The prizes will be awarded to a group chosen from those sending in tele- phone calls or telegrams. The names will be drawn from the total num- Der received.
 Tho prizes include a number of radio sets, batteries, phones, loud speakers and other radio accessories, We undcrstoo the announcer to say that the toIegrams and telephone calls must be in by o'clock, Each

 The hockey game between Yale and Harvard was not given play by play last night, but the listeners in had a chance to hear the great demonstration incident to the con- test. The noise was deafening and, at times, the voice of the announcer was almost drowned out, Tn spite of the fact that he was talking at the top Of his voice.
 To hear crap-shooting described by piano is something novel and 1t proved interesting to us, when such number was broadcast from WJAR at Providence. Modena Sco- vile, an accomplished pianist. played the number, "The Crapshooters," which was highly descriptive of the progress of game of this kind-so we should judge, She played q pro- gram of selections, all of them in- teresting, but the announcer kept us at that station longer than We de- sired to remain by failing to give the name of the pianist or the call let ters for three numbers. The pro- gram came through WEAF.
 | Right here we want to ask if fans are sending applause cards to the various stations, expressing their ap- preciation of the programs or offer ing criticisms or suggestions. These messages please those in charge of l the stations, and the least fans can do is to show that the programs are coming in and are being enjoyed.
 WBZ had q gala night in honor of the first anniversary of the opening of the Herald Traveller studio. Gov crnor Fuller of Massachusetts was one of the speakers of the evening, and there were talks by several stage stars playing at Boston theaters. We were glad to hear our old friend, Nat Martins "1'll Say She Is" or chestra from that station last night. The Hotel Brunswick orchestra en- tcrtained with q variety of dance SC" lcctions in the course of the eVen- ing.
 Surprises are continually bobbing up before radio fans. Hearing a sta ton at a point on our dials where signals have never come in before, we found CNRC, broadcasting on it's new wave length of 410 meters. The volume of the broadcast was excep- tonal for such great distance, Cal gary, Alberta, being nearly to the Pacific coast. We heard several num- | bers by the Jahas orchestra. among them group of Mozart's compost tions. We've had Calgary before, but never with such clarity and volume
 The Regimcntal Band Of the Gov l ernor's Foot Guard provided per- iod of martial music from CNRO in the course of the evening. With | CNRO's power in back of it the pro- gram just flew out Of the loud speaker. Among the selections played in faultless band style were "Oh, Canada" Under the British Flag and several others of a like nature.

GIVES $500 REWARD
New Hampshire Woman Adds to Fund For Drivers Who Took Dog
 Teams to Nome During Epidemic.

Seattle, Feb. 2G.--Mrs. William H. Schofield of Peterboro, N. H., has donated $500 for an Alaska dog team reward" according to tele- gram received here. The money is to be brought here next week by Bishop H. T. Rowe of Alaska who is in New York.
 A letter accompanying the money to Bishop Rowe, read:
 T had two sons in the war, one of whom met his death trying to serve others. and perhaps that makes me understand what It means to endure to the end in a good cause"
 The money is to go to drivers of relay dog teams who took part in a G50 mile race against death with anti-toxin to combat a recent diph- theria epidemic in Nome, Alaska. Mrs. Schofield's donation will bring the total fund to s627.50.

Espositions Costly

Such exhibitions as the one recently
in progress at Wembley entail an
enormous expenditure to put over
properly, and whether they will result
in loss or gain is always prob,ematical
London's first big exhibition, that Of
1851, was a great financial success
says the Montreal Star More than
100000 people visited the Crystal pal
ace, and the surplus, after paying all
expenses, was nearly S75O0OO.
The next one, held in 1862, was not
so successful. Shortly after its open
Ing the prince consort died and when
the American Civil war broke out its
receipts were so impaired that. al
though they totaled about S2,25O 600.
there was a final deficit eff $50 900.
The Paris exhibition Of 1867 showed a
profit of $4,000. In Vienna in 1878
a loss of nearly 100000 was sus-
tanned; the Philadelphia exhibition
showed a loss of about S1,25O.OOO.
while the Paris international exhibit
dion, although it attracted 16.OO0.OOO
visitors, showed a deficit of S6,250.OOO
Then luck changed. A series of small
exhibitions held at Kensington were
all successful, while the Chicago
Worlds fair and the great exhibition
at ST. Louis both showed big profits.
In 1908 London's White City proved
fairly profitable undertaking in spite
of wages bill of $4,00OOOO.

Farmers Advised to Be
on Lookout for Cholera

An outbreak of hog cholera this fall
would be peculiarly unfortunate, be-
cause hogs look like good property,
and farmers need all they can get out
of them. A dead hog pays neither in
terest nor taxes. DR.. r. A. Craig of
Purdue university notes the existence
of some cholera in Indiana and urges
precautions against its spread The
warning is particularly timely be-
cause, as he says, vaccination of
hogs against cholera has not been
practiced generally in the corn belt
this year." Herds haven't been vac
cinated because there wasn't much
cholera-which is just the time to be
on watch. When cholera is prevalent
everybody is on guard and no warn
ing is needed
Doctor Craig advises farmers to be
on the lookout for sick hogs, to warn
neighbors of the existence of chol-
era, to be especially careful at silo
filling time on account Of the exchange
of work, and Of course to vaccinate in
case of an outbreak. San early dag
nosis of hog cholera will result in
saving large percentage of the herd
If vaccination is practfced," he points
out. And, he might have added, will
stop the spread of the disease in the
neighborhood, and so save many thou
sands of dollars.

Pigs Fed Minerals Will
Make Most Rapid Gains

Minerals in the ration for pigs pre-
vented lamenesS and gave the best
gains in series of winter or dry lot
tests conducted at the Ohio expert
ment station. The mixture Of two
parts ground limestone, two parts bone
meal, and one part salt, as heretofore
recommended by that station, again
proved the best in a long list of min
eral mixtures in the swine ration in
which soy bean oil meal was fed as
the protein feed with yellow corn.
This mixture, it was explained to
visitors on Live Stock day, supplied
not only the necessary salt, but also
all the calcium and phosphorus needed
The latter are prime essentials. With
out these elements in the grain ration
pigs soon contracted ricketts, and lame
ness.
Ground limestone was superior to a
refined grade of lime or calcium car
Donate, due in part apparently to the
small amount of iron carried by the
limestone and required by the pigs
for proper development. This fact has
not been appreciated heretofore, and
is evidence of further need of much
careful investigation in the feeding of
live stock.

CORN SILAGE FOR
SHEEP is FAVORED

In reviewing some of the experiment
station sheep-feeding tests it is inter
esting to note that in practically
every case corn silage has proved a
valuable sheep ration. While these
station reports are given wide eircula-
ton, it is doubtful if the rank and file
of sheep feeders know the true value
of corn silage as a ration. 1t is with
this thought in mind that / am record
ing some of the recent sheep-feeding
tests, writes A. l.. Hacker in the
Iowa Farmer.
Indiana experiment station COM
pared hay with silage for sheep, and
with thorough test covering three
years, found silage economical as a
sheep ration. They were able to get
larger and cheaper gains on both ewes
and lambs by feeding silage with hay,
than with hay alone.
In the Iowa test they found corn
silage greatly lowered the cost Of feed
ing both ewes and lambs. In some
tests the silage group cost half as
much as the hay and grain group.
At the Colorado experiment station,
silage was compared with hay in feed
ing lambs and ewes, and the result of
the experiment showed the silage-fed
group gave four pounds more gain
than the group that was fed hay alone
The lambs from the silage-fed ewes
were larger and stronger. Corn silage
was made to pay value of $3.50 per
ton for wintering ewes. This would
give profit on silage of $3.50 per
ton, basing 81 per ton as cost for sill
age. With 100-ton silo this would
allow the sheep feeder $3.50 profit on
his sliced corn over and above corn
harvested for grain alone.
The Michigan experiment station
has thoroughly tested out the feeding
OF corn silage to lambs and ewes, and
in all cases found silage a valuable
and economical ration. Farmers keep
ing sheep or intending to feed sheep
would do well to look into these re-
cent experiments. We are likely to
see an increase in the growing Of
sheep in this country, and economic
feeding is the most important item of
the business.

Flute Centuries Old

HARD TO EXPLAIN
WHY EARTH QUAKES
Still Much to Be Learned
on the Subject.

Seismologists explanations of the
earthquake prevalence in the Far
West offer no basic reasons. They
say that the Santa Barbara temblor
was tectonic, that it was caused by a
recurrent slip along old fault lines
near the Pacific coast, and that the
slip was probably set in motion by the
slight quakes in Montana This really
gets nowhere, for it has long been
known that the Pacific coast has many
fault lines, and there Is not even an
effort to explain why the preliminary
trenors were felt in Montana, where
there are no fault lines, and where
there had been no earthquakes in the
memory of man.
1t is predicted there will be con
tinuing quakes for some time, and
they may be felt in widely separated
parts of North America This is, how
ever, no cause for alarm Except in
regions of known earthquake prev
alence, where the faults are marked,
an earthquake seldom or never does
any large damage. The earthquake
which few months ago was lightly
felt in Cleveland and more markedly
in New England and Canada, was
quite innocuous. The Montana quake
was one of the severest in non
earthquake region, but the damage
was comparatively small and there
was no loss of life.
AS for California, the danger is
more real, but it is 20 be borne in
mind that only two disastrous earth
quakes have been recorded in that
state, the really calamitous San Fran
cisco temblor and the one which re-
Gently caused considerable damage in
the small city of Santa Barbara BY
the law of probabilities no more cities
are due for visitaGions for a long
time. That the danger is considered
very slight is proved by San Fran
cisco's magnificent rebuilding on the
ruins of the destroyed city.
We cannot tell the wherefore of
earthquakes and we cannot predict
when or where they will occur. 1t is
possible, of course, for cities in earth
quake regions to build with some
thought of earthquake possibilities,
but otherwise nothing can be done,
and American life is not to be dis
turbed by phenomena as yet so in
adequately explained Plain
Dealer.

Toy Theater Comes Rack

In Europe the toy theater has again
taken hold of the popular fancy with
the result that there are some interest
ing offerings being made. The smart
set of London is back of it. The en-
tertainment is given by means of min
iature toy actors manipulated by
strings. 1t is far cry from the days
of the manipulated punch and judy
shows, as even Shakespearean dramas
are being given in these modern toy
theaters.
