TO PRODUCE “BEN-HUR.”

In Lafayette, Indiana, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings, and Wednesday Matinee, April 24, 25 and 2f>. Much interest has been manifested concerning the mechanical methods of the thrilling race employed in Klaw & Erlanger’s new and greater production ot General Wallace’s spectacle. “Ben-Hur” which is to be presented at the Dreyfus Theatre, Lafayette, Indiana, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee, April 21. 25 an 26. In this great arenic contest the spectator sees eight horses galloping at break-neck speed and straining every muscle to gain the race within the ampitheatre. Behind each quartet of horses is a Roman chariot. The wheels revolve rapidly; the chariots lurch and sway and the flaming beribboned garments of the drivers flutter behind them, adding intensity to the realism of the scene. The illusion is still further increased as the interior wall of the ampitheatre moves along anil the dust flies in blinding clouds beneath the crushing wheels" of the chariots; The clatter of the rushing hoofs of the horses and the rumble of the chariots are distinctly heard. Elaborate mechanism and applications of electricity produce this great effect. The mechanism of two great cradles, twenty feet in length and fourteen feet wide, and which are movable back and forth on railways, is supported by a bridge structure capable of holding twenty tons. The tops of the cradles are two inches above the level of the stage. Each cradle bears the four horses and the chariot of each contestant. On each cradle there are four runways and treadmills of hickory slats two inches wide and covered with rubber; they are twelve feet long and two and a half feet wide. On each of these treadmills a horse is secured by steel cable traces, which hold him in place and prevent him from moving forward off the runways. As each horse gallops, the treadmill revolves under his feet, thereby eliminating the forward pressure created by the impact of his hoofs, which . would force him ahead on an immovable surface.. By this mechanical arrangement it is possible for the horses actually to gallop with all their speed within the space of their own length. It is considered the most realistic effect ever seen upon the stage.

For the accommodation of out of town visitors who will want to witness tfae staging of “Ben-Hur” in Lafayette, the management of the Dreyfus Theatre announce that special attention will be given to all orders for seats received by mail. Seats for “Ben-Hur” will be placed on sale Thursday morning April 20. Prices will range from 50c to $2.00. First eleven rows main floor $2.00, balance $1.50; first three rows balcony $1.50, balance SI.OO. Mail orders must be accompanied by remittance. Personal checks not accepted.

BIG SNOW IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Hansboro. N. D.., April 14. Editor Democrat:— Will drop you a few lines to tell about the weather in North Dakota. It started to rain Monday night, and rained until Tuesday morning. And then it rained all Tuesday night again. This is the first rain we "have had worth speaking of since October. It also rained some Wednesday night, and then turned to snow. It snowed and the wind blew all day Thursday at the rate of forty miles an hour. The snow is five feet deep in places. The train went down to Devil’s Lake Thursday morning, but was unable to return in the evening on account of the snow drifts.

It doesn’t look much like planting potatoes today (Good Friday). I am thinking of planting potatoes, but I don’t expect to plant them for three or four weeks, for last spring it was what they called an early spring and I finished planting potatoes the twenty-second of May. The farmers here are all well pleased over the storm as it win make plenty of moisture so the crops will “come up” soon after be4ng~ pla&etd.-- Well;- this snow may sound “fishy” to" the people of old Jasper, but if they thipk it over they will change their njiitds. It isn’t far to the north pole. Unless I change my mind, I am going to Canada to live as soon as my job . is completed here. If you have- room in your paper and think this is worth publishing, you may, and oblige,

Miss Virginia Holmes Writes of Weather and Conditions About Jamestown. Jamestown. N. D., April 14. Editor of The Democrat: As I have a few spare minutes, will write a few lines for the paper and if, you think it worth publishing, you may do so. , We have been having some verynice weather until day before yesterday it rained and yesterday it’ snowed, and also snowed Some today. But the sun has been shining bright this afternoon, and the snow is almost gone snow; Farmers have begun their seeding,: and are making pretty good headway at it. If the farms were notso large they could be farmed to a better advantage. Most of them] contain from one to three sections. ’ When they are made into smaller, farms, the country will be more thickly settled. Neighbors here are’ far apart, but are very friendly. Hoosiers are welcome any time they want to come and they are treated as nice as anyone could be expected to be treated. We find lots of Hoosiers here.' We are all well and are having ai good time. We like Dakota very! well now, but at first we were very! much discouraged. We live 8 miles from town, but try to get to town once a week for ou r maiL Jamestown is a very nice town. Has a population of 7 or 8.000. It has colleges, hospitals, insane asylum. in fact, almost everything but street cars. Fort Seaward used to be where Jamestown now stands. The old trail from Fort Seaward to Fort Totten gees through our farm. Fort Totten is 80 miles from here and is located near Devil’s Lake. With best wishes to all. VIRGINIA HOLMES.

MORE EGG MONEY

Eggs have become one of the most profitable of all farm products, but there is nothing quite so exasperating as to have a big flock of hens that won’t lay when eggs are bringing a good price. Your hens need a little help, and Watkins' Poultry Tonic supplies it as nothing else will. Give your hens a chance. Watkins’ Poultry Tonic is not a food, nor a medicine, but a genuine Tonic that tones up the system and stimulates egg production. In many cases it has trebled the yield of eggs. v . Don’t let your poultry “eat their heads off,” but set them to work earning dollars for you. You will get more eggs in winter and more fertile eggs in spring; you will hatch more chicks and healthier chicks if you give your flock a little of Watkins’ Poultry Tonic throughout the season. You will say it is the best investment you ever made. A little of it goes a long way and does much good. Be sure to have the Watkins Man leave a pail on his next visit.— V. M.

LATE BLIGHT OF CELERY. Methods Found Efficacious in California In Dealing With Disease. According to the College of Agriculture of California, the celery blight is one of the many fungous diseases which may be controlled by spraying with bordeaux mixture. Based on the results of investigation by a California expert, the following spraying scheme is recommended: The formula for bordeaux should be five pounds of bluestone, six pounds of stone lime and fifty gallons of water. When the plants are small thirty to forty gallons of bordeaux per acre are sufficient, but the amount should be increased at each application, so that

when the plants are fifteen or more inches high the spray is put on at the rate of not less than 100 gallons per acre. Spray seed beds at least twice, especially if grown on soil which produced blighted celery the preceding year. After plants are transplanted into the field spraying should begin when the first blight is noticed. In any event the first spraying should be given not later than six weeks after transplanting. and one application a month should be given until the seasonal rain or heavy fog comes. After the rains have set in spray every two weeks if possible until the crop is harvested. Where the plants are over fifteen inches tall they should be gone over twice at each spraying, the machine moving in the opposite direction the second time. Upon the carefulness and thoroughness of the spraying is dependent to a large extent the successful control of the blight Demonstration plots sprayed by the experimenter according to the above scheme came through the season in first class shape and were almost entirely free from blight at harvest time.

Farming is a manufacturing ’ business, and costs of produc- > tion must be calculated as carefully as in any other business.

Look Out For Cabbage Flies. Lettuce, radishes and onions will require careful watching in early spring to prevent the ravages of cabbage flies. They are so small as to easily escape notice, and the first suspicion of their presence will be the disappearance of the young plants just as they are nicely started. Dusting liberally with soot, wood ashes or air slaked lime will prevent their work, but it should be done as soon as the plants appear above ground. Fertilizing the Muskmelon. The New Jersey experiment station secured an increase in yield of 115 per cent by the use of 150 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Half the fertilizer was applied at planting time about the bills and worked into the soil and the remainder about three weeks later. Dried blood and sulphate of ammonia used in the same manner were a little less effective, but increased the yield from 87 to 91 per cent

There should be a good reason for everything done on the farm, and things that are unreasonable should not be done. Whenever superstition is banished and systematic thinking takes the place of “moon farming” farm progress will begin.
