Beginning with matinee next Sunday, April 24th, another amazing array of steller vaudeville lights will be seen at Cleveland’s new* theatre, which has, since its opening last October gained in popular favor every day and every week, and nowadays anyone wanting a desirable location finds it advisable to secure seats in advance. There is no doubt about the success of Mr. Cleveland’s beautiful play house because Chicago’s representative citizens gather there twice daily, and the enormous crowds, combined with the rapturous applause bestowed upon the artists Mr. Cleveland presents is proof positive that he has, as he terms it, “Caught the town for fair.” Charlie Case, tbe man with the “knock-out drops,” as Mr. Cleveland puts him, will head the bill, and petite, dashing, vivacious Eva Tanguay will sing new songs, wear new gowns and incidentally introduce some more of the new dancing steps that get her such vociferous applause. Another foreign novelty new to Chicago that Mr. Cleveland will introduce is Poettinger’s quintette of singing and dancing—Swedish nightingales—five beautiful -young ladies that it is said create a furore wherever they appear. Ferrar, Cole and Co,, direct from New York will introduce a new novelty sketch, and then there are the Marco twins, European eccentrics, which together with the high class vocal sketch of Pierce & Roslyn, the marvelous Zamora family from Circo Orrin, City of Mexico; the wonderful biograph and other great acts will excel in every way all the other big shows seen at Cleveland’s heretofore. Ladies and children these days when making appointments say “meet me at Cleveland’s.” Two performances are given daily.

CLEVELAND’S THEATRE.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Tk« Farmer*’ Institute. Tbe highest aim of the farmers’ -Institute was admirably stated by President W. C. Latta at the late meeting of the International Institute association. In part he said: “Tbe farmers’ institute should be something more than a means of making agriculture more profitable. It should be the means of uplifting the people morally end socially. To tell them how to earn a dollar is a good thing, but to Instruct in the wise use of the dollar when earned is better. Tbe institute should be the means of forever banishing the farmer’s low estimate of himself anil bis calling and be made the means of ridding farmers of the petty jealousies and suspicions which prevent them from intelligently co-operating for mutual protection and advancement” It would be difficult to say more In the same amount of space. Probably the most Important Item is to get farmers to respect themselves and their work. This will come with a better knowledge of agriculture’s place in the world’s economic structure and the practice of the best agricultural methods. Doing anything well with accompanying success breeds self respect. A broad gauge, successful farmer certainly has just cause to be proud of his vocation.— American Agriculturist. The “Seedless Apple.” Some readers are concerned about a report that a Colorado man has produced a “seedless apple.” Among other remarkable things we are told: He Is now preparing to graft his seedless buds on every sort of apple tree and asserts that he will be able to develop seedless apples of every variety. He will not reveal the secret of his budding and grafting. The tree on which the seedless fruit grows is unusual in that it has no blossoms. This man does well not to reveal his wonderful secret For aught we know the tree agents may have already begun to offer this apple. The statement that this tree has no blossoms and yet produces fruit is enough to convince any man who ever saw an apple tree that this is a fake. It might be possible to produce an apple with a very small core, but it is not going to grow on a tree which never blossoms.—Rural New Yorker. Good Care of Harnesses. Oil and repair the harness before the busy season begins. Take the harness to pieces and wash thoroughly with warm water and soap. It is important that the harness be clean before applying the oiL After washing let the harness dry. This can be hastened by rubbing with a dry cloth; then apply the oil while the leather is soft, but not too wet The harness may be hung in the open air until the oil is absorbed. Old, neglected harnesses that are dry and hard had better not be oiled. The fibers of the leather have lost their tenacity, and oil will not restore it Oil does not add to the streugth of leather. It merely softens and keeps it from cracking. It is a preventive of decay, not a restorer. A well oiled and repaired harness will last as long again as a neglected one.—l. A. Leonard in American Cultivator. .Harmonious Action. The lack of unanimity among farmers on matters of legislation is one of their weakest points. Many a delegation of farmers has gone before a legislative committee to state its wants and come away without accomplishing anything because the members differed among themselves as to what they wanted. When a committee can’t ask with perfect unanimity for something it wpuld better keep still. Legislators cannot be blamed for not knowing what farmers wans as long as their representatives are not in agreement about It.—Stockman and Farmer. Chemical Fertilisers. Farmers in the central west are suddenly waking up to find that chemical fertilizers are not poisonous, but profitable, says Rural Yorker. It takes but a short memory to go back to the time when even scientific men hooted at the suggestion that anything besides clover or manure would ever be needed. Now they go about promising large returns from the use of bone meal. Within a few years they will be advocating the use of potash and different forms of nitrogen. This means that western farmers will meet poorer soils with better farming. Apple Barrels and Boxes. The apple barrel adopted by Ontario contains 112 imperial quarts. That in use In the United States holds ninetysix quarts. This gives the larger barrel an advantage in foreign markets which is an object lesson in the importance of having an international barrel. The bushel box that is used in Oregon Is 10 by 11 by 20 inches. It has been adopted by nearly all the provinces. The indications now are that it will soon take the place of the barrel for the apple trade of the United States and Canada, except perhaps for exporting. The Prolific Scale. The total number of descendants from one individual of the San Jose scale during the time between the middle of June and the last of November has been calculated at 3,216,080,400. As all these millions obtain their food by sucking the sap from the plant they are on it is not to be wondered at that a tree which in the spring was apparently in good condition may be nearly or entirely dead by fall. Bait In Cereals. The only method of preventing injury from rust is to select the seed of varieties which are resistant to rust, plant early and hasten the early development of the crop.

The SPORTING WORLD

Another Vanderbilt Turfman. Facts of large Interest in tbe racing world have Just come to the surface, to the effect that Reginald Vanderbilt contemplates going into horse racing and will do so just as soon as he feels that the newspaper fame which he achieved in recent months has worn away. But for it his colors probably would be worn at the spring meeting at

REGGIE VANDERBILT.

Bheepshead Bay, New York. As matters now are it may be that he will not participate In the sport actively until 1905, though he is one of the executive committee which designs a brief sporting- meeting at Newport, R. 1., during the season. Just at this time it can be no violation of the ethics which obtain on the turf to say that Mr. Vanderbilt’s intentions are to purchase about half a dozen two-year-olds, some two or three three-year-olds and a like number of four-year-olds of class if any prove to be obtainable within reasonable figures. The trainer who has been selected says that under no circumstances would he advise the purchase of more than fifteen horses at the outside. The Qntrlcer Nationals. The Philadelphia National Baseball club’s “winter of discontent” has been “made glorious by the sun” of prospective good fortune. With the treasury replenished by a 10 per cent assessment Bn the stockholders, cheerfully paid; with the ground improvements under way at reasonable cost, with a splendid schedule, with the valuable Kid Gleason finally permanently secured, and with a competent manager and pretty good team, it looks as if President Potter’s tribulations were about over. The only clouds now hovering over the club are the damage suits, which, it is safe to predict, will not go against the club. With those suits out of the way President Potter will not spare money in securing a first class winning team. More Ilaggln Racers. Fred Littlefield says that he does not expect to get any of the eight fillies he recently got from James B. Haggin’s Elmendorf farm ready to race before fall. They are a well bred lot of misses, chiefly by Rancho del Paso stallions, but they require a lot of attention. Cold as the winter in Kentucky was, they did not once sleep under shelter. It was not that the Elmendorf folk were either thoughtless or cruel. There were simply so many horses at Elmendorf no cover could be found for them. Having had that experience, they will hardly take cold from exposure this spring. Miller and Leeds. Andrew Miller of the Saratoga Racing association is a newcomer to the stake list during the eastern turf season, and his principal campaign will be one of two-year-olds. W. B. Leeds, who only had Nevermore in his stake list last season, has added greatly to his stake contributions with such horses as Major Daingerfield and Hurstbourne, and, with no two-year-olds last season, this year he has a likely string well engaged. Fencer Paveae Challenges. Generoso Pavese, the noted fencer, will shortly go to St Louis for the exposition, where he will give exhibitions, and while"there he will be ready to meet any professional fencer for the trophy and a side bet of from SI,OOO to $5,000. He is ready to post a, forfeit to bind a match. Ken Indianapolis Ball Parle. If plans now hanging fire materialize Indianapolis will have a baseball park this season within four minutes’ car ride of the center of the business district It is almost certain that the new park will be constructed on the show grounds immediately west of White river. In Pat Powers’ League. President Powers announced recently that every club in the Eastern league had signed Its complement of players for the season and that the outlook for a successful campaign never was better. All the clubs have been materially strengthened. Twlrler Lynch’* Demand. Pitcher'Lynch, the Brown university star, has named his terms for professional baseball. He wants $2,500 for the season after college closes. This makes about S7OO a month. Jim Robtnaon. Jim Robinson has been engaged as trainer at Princeton for three years, beginning July L He began his work at Harvard, but went to Princeton about 1885.

Attention Farmers. Why remain in the North and stay indoors stx months in the year consuming what you raise during the other six months? Go South where you can work out dcors every month in the year, and where you are producing something the year rmind. If you are a stock raiser*you know your stock are now “eating their heads off” and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter, Economical stock feeding reC;s the combination of both •forming and fat-forming food in certain proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer, and the latter a fat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. More money can be made and with less labor, in general farming, fruit and berry growing and truck gardening along oui road in the South than in any other section of the Union.
