It takes two classes of work tc. produce an opera that will be popular with the public—the opera itself and the proper presentation rs that opera Mr. Chenery has had two seasons before Winona audiences, and knows what Wfnonans want. His name connected with such an entertainment as •‘Joseph’’ insures its success, so far as the merits of the opera is concerned The soloists who took part in “Fgypta" and in “Ahasuerus" will take part in “Joseph." These include some of the best lyceum talent of the country—George Ashley Brewster, L L. Kemper, Fred Calvert, W. H. Collison. Heman Powers, Haydn Owens. Helen Cutler Dicker and Miss Stuart The sacred opera will be a large part of the season’s program. The first presentation will be given the evening of July 19, and presentations will be given every Friday evening thereafter including August 16. “Joseph” will be repeated on the last night of the Assembly season, August 22, and will be given August 27 of the Bible conference.

SANITARY BARNS FOR SHEEP | Need Not Be Built for Warmth, but Must Be Dry and Well Ventilated— Drafts Are Fatal. Sheep barns are not as expensive as those lor cattle, hdrses, or hogs for the simple reason that they need not be built for warmth Let them be dry and well ventilated and the flock will thrive in the coldest of winter weather. That dampness is fatal was amply demonstrated on a farm near Madison, Wis. The owner telephoned to the university that his sheep were dying, and that an expert should be sent out to determine the cause. The instructor no sooner stepped into the barn and got his shoes filled with water than he jumped back and said, "I know already. Water.” The barn had been built against a sidehill and no attention paid to the drainage. As a result, the heavy thawing of spring caused the moisture to just seep through one of the foundation walls in streams, covering the floor four inches deep. Pneumonia then wiped out the flock In a very short time. Sheep barns should not be built on low or marshy tracts, but on high elevated areas so that the water may drain away. They should be set in such a manner as to form a windbreak against the prevailing cold winds from the northwest. A yard should always be connected with this windbreak, as sheep should be driven out of doors every time the weather permits. The ventilation must be perfect. The King system Is probably the most convenient yet devised, although many of the home-made devices are good. There is just this about the King system; it takes some men a little time before they are able to grasp its principles and get it tc working successfully. Windows are needed for proper lighting, as sheep will not thrive in the dark any more than any other animal, in fact, will nt>t thrive under lighting conditions found tolerable by cattle. Again, windows are excellent as part of the ventilating system if care is taken not to open them in such a manner that a draft is formed on windy days. Drafts are fatal to sheep. FEED BAGS FOR THE HORSE

Adjustable Contrivance Shown in Illustration Is Easily Operated by Animal While Eating. When the feed in the ordinary feed bag gets too low for the horse to reach easily, he either tl rows his head up or sets the bag on the ground to get WI k Feed Bag Hung o»i a Rein. the grain, says a writer In the Popular Mechanics. In either case, much of the food is wasted. The Illustration shows a feed bag holder on the principle of a rein, which quickly adjusts the level of the grain to the mouth of he horse by a dlight movement of his tiead downward. The sketch fully ilustrates the construction of the headgear and the rein connection. Live Stock Notes A good man’s horse will not unlerstand when he is sworn at. Growing pigs should‘receive, where t is possible, some buttermilk. Keep the young pigs out of the Irafts. Give them a clean, dry place o sleep, In feeding farm stock variety is recessary, for this will keep the appetites keen. Sheep need plenty of fr°sh air. and .hey certainly are more warmly clad than W’e are. All animals need plenty of exercise .n the winter to keep them In condition for the spring. The horses should be hitched up occasionally and put to seme work, if only for an hour or two Although hogs are proverbially dirty animals, they enjoy clean drinking wa tor as much as the other stock. Middlings is a very good feed for swine, but it should net form the entire grain portion of their ration. Just because a hog seems filthy, is no sign that he likes to drink water from a dirty, germ-infected trough. Lack of attention to the teeth of the horses often cause large holes to appear in the oat bln without visible return. Plenty of bedding for the horse and the cow is as sure of a good return as any other labor performed on the farm. , Give the colt plenty of exercise during the cold weather, and it will repay you for your kindness by steady growth. Choice beeves are extraordinarily high and bid fair to reach record figures the coming winter and spring months. In yarding sheep, don’t forget a constant supply of good fresh water and rock salt are a neccessity; also, plenty of good fresh bedding, and always a dry lair.

Venetian night IS UN INFTIIUTION HAS BEEN EVOLVED THROUGH THE YEARS, AND IS AS FAMOUS AS MARDI GRAS. BRIDGES WILL BE REMOVED Plans for This Year’s Event Show Improvements in Arrangements for Water Pageant —Will Combine the Professional With Amateur Parts of the Program. In all the history of Winona Lake, no Venetian night plans have nearly approached, those for the present year. As many as 20,000 people have been at Winona for a single event of this kind, and this year it is expected there will be many more. In expectation of a record-breaking crowd plans are being made for increased seeing ca parity and for improved facilities. Venetian Night at Winona Lake has been the result of constant evolution. It began in a very modest way, with amateur decorations of boats, the boats parading after night, and prizes being awarded to the best decorated of them. Then there began to be a diversity of decorations. For example, one float would be found to be the best considered from the standpoint of humor, while another would depict perfectly some sentiment or some historical event. Thus it was that these amateur floats became divided into various groupings, and prizes were awarded for the best in each group.

While these changes were taking place the question of Illumination became a big one. It was found the search lights from the steamer and similar means of lighting were not sufficient to get the best effects. The result was tha f the parade place changed from the bay on the north of McDonald island to the lagoon between McDonald island and the mainland. Here the lighting was concentrated and more of it employed, so that the effect was more brilliant. The barges, floats, canoes and boats now appear from the gloom of di-v’y lighted background and move out under a I glare ot electric display, where every bit of color shows and where every bit of tinsel and gilding is at its best. And the beauty of it all is that for every light, every boat, every flower i and every minute detail, there is a reflection in the water. To all this had been added a professional part. Captain Frank Pine, builder of southern Mardi Gras, is employed regularly each year to cull from history those events that will show to the best his skill with form and color. Each year, with the pieseat plans for Venetian Night, some historical evert is pictured, this part of the program being separate from the amateur. The lagoon that separates McDonald island from the mainland is six blocks long. There are four bridges. These bridges are removed; rows of columns are erected along the sides of the lagoon; seats are placed tier upon tier on the banks; boxes are erected; there is a stand for the band; and a big company of men labor for weeks I to make plans for this one night’s entertainment. Venetian Night has grown to suggest Winona Lake, just as the mention of Mardi Gras suggests New Orleans. — STRONG MEN AT THE BIBLE CONFERENCE — GREAT ENGLISHMEN WILL TAKE PART IN PROGRAM FROM AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 1. Among speakers from abroad who will address the Winona Bible conference, Winona Lake, Ind., from August 23 to September 1, are: The Rev.

The International Lyceum association will hold its made! Chautauqua at Winona Lake again this year, opening its program September 2 and closing it September 11. The talent on this program is given to the association by members of the association, and is the best and most expensive the world furnishes. No Chautauqua could afford to buy it, and the International Lyceum issociatlon can only offer it to the public for the reason that it is donated. Chenery’s New Opera. The dates of William Dodd Chenery’s new sacred grand opera, "Joseph,” at Winona Lake, are July 19, 26 and August 2, 9 and 16 and 22, and August 27, the latter days being curing the Bible conference. Just as "Ahasuerus” was greater than “Egypta,” “Joseph” will be greater than “Ahasuerus ”
