A pantomime and tableaux vivants were given and the thrill came when Mrs. James B. Eustis posed, representing the famous picture "Salammbo." Garbed in a gorgeous Eastern costume, Mrs. Eustis' appearance was the \ signal for loud applause, which turned tc a shudder as the audience realized thai around her neck was festooned an enormous six-foot boa constrictor. At the evening performance the snake failed to hold its pose and because of the *. reptile's nervousness an encore was im. possible. The entertainment which was for the benefit of church missions in the Blue Ridge Valley of Virginia, was very sue cessful, fully $10,000 being realized. The entertainment was under the direction oi Mrs. Waldorf Astor and Mrsf Benjamir Guinness. There was no rate legislation pass ed by the general assembly.

"What about those little Iambs; they look cheap to me?" remarked the Michigan feeder to' his commission man. "Nobody wants them." was the reply, "and unless /ipu know how to handle them I would advise you to buy something else. But they are money makers for the man who can take care of them. All you have to do is to avoid overfeeding and give them proper care. Too many make the mis* " <r? nnHintr Hfrhf" wpstdm lflmhs Oil U&ac 1U puw VA U g I*^u v (f w - ? feed of crowding them Under the impression that they have been starved, whereas they come from a range where lambs are dropped late and have not had time to grow." It is suggestive of the short feeding furore among both cattle and sheep finishers that demand centers on stock carrying flesh that can be sent back to market within two or three months at the most The stocker proposition appeals to few, and opportunities for quick action are feverishly sought While fifty-five to sixty pound feeding lambs have been in keen request t around 7 cents, "peewee" stuff has 'found few bidders at 5% to 6 cents. At this season North Dakota furnishes a lot of these little lambs, and as killers cannot use them they have but one outlet This year the spread between thf?m and heavv lambs is unusually wide, apparently affording the feeder a profitable opportunity to 'handle the light kind. "Sixty cent corn is the factor," said a trader. "Everybody is afraid* of stock that has to be fed any considerable time.'-' Little husky western feeding lambs, well handled through the winter, sheared in the spring and sent to market fat at a time when big feed lots have been depleted and springers have not yet made their appearance, will make money this winter if the crop on feed is as short as generally believed, concludes the Breeder's Gazette. Chicago. Special For Swine Men. The idea of specialization is growing creeping up over the horizon like 4 storm cloud from the west, at first S small, insignificant patch, but growing and gathering force as it comes on. The swine man seems to be the last one caught in the swirl. Corn, King Corn, is pre-emine ntly the finishing food for swine and Is not a good food for the breeding herd only in limited amount The corn belt is hrAMlIn? SUrrounueu uy uii^uaucicu w-..?0 ground for swine. Here Is a great opportunity for specialists. Let the man With his cloyers and vetches and peas and rye breed and grow pigs to weaning time* or a little longer 'and then send them to the great corn belt for finishing. The great capacious maw of the middle states can swallow up an unlimited amount of shoats weighing from fifty to a hundred pounds. The cattle feeders and corn growers are always hungry for them. There are some very successful men who grow their pigs till they bring $5 per head; then they go to the big cattle feeders. It is surprising how small a pig these feeders will take at $5 if they can get a bunch together, says a writer in National Swine Magazine. 8ome Cheap Cows. The Live Stock World says in reporting a recent Iowa Shorthorn sale: "Lone Birch, Daisy, a large roan cow, with a first class heifer calf al foot, at $85, was about the cheapest thing sold. She is said to give a ten quart pailful of milk night and morning." Wonder why Daisy went so cheap? Simply because she was not "pure Scotch."; Several others not Scotch sold for even less. The day will come when these good, big, heavy milking Shorthorn cows will be wanted again, and we advise any young farmer to pick them up when they go at such prices. They will make money for him right from the start and keep on making it Never, mind about the Scotch part of it Buy good cattle at such figures every time.?National Stockman. ^ THE FARMER'S SHEEP. Why Fall Lambs Mean Satisfaction to a Sheep Grower. Brighton is the great lire stock market of the New England states. A Country Gentleman correspondent says: "Th4 next few years will see more pative lambs in Brighton than eve^before in its history. Do not let the opportunity escape you. If you do not grasp it others will." In the same journal W. G. Appleby of the Fillmore farms, Vermont, gives the following as in brief a few of the reasons why he considers Dorsets the most profitable breed of sheep a farmer can keep: ThA awpw droD their lambs in the fan. when they are in better condition than they would be in the spring unless they have been highly fed during the winter, and when the lambs are weaned they can be kept very cheaply until spring. They should be fed some grain again, however, for a little while before mating with the ram. Dorset lambs that are born in the fall and early winter b*mg double the price that other lambs four to five months old born in the spring would do. Fall lambs that are kept for breeders are sheared in the spring, when they will shear between four and five pounds of wool. This goes a long way to pay for their winter's keep. Early lambs are less liable to infection by internal parasites than lambs born in the spMng. In fact, by proper management Dorset lambs can be. kept practically free from stomach worms, perhaps the greatest drawback to successful sheep breeding. / .
