talent , "On The Great Divide. "
This play has been described as
the greatest play ever written to
depict and characterize the true

laid among the mountains , the
characters drawn from the type
of man in America who is gentle
as well as strong , and of women
whom hardship has not robbed of
woman's tenderness. Charles
Dazey , the author , is the same
writer who gave to the world "In
Old Kentucky , " the play which
has been described as ranking
second only in fame and popular
ity to Uncle Tom's Cabin.
"On the Great Divide , " com
bines a plot of originality which
holds the interest of everyone ,
with scenes of comedy and pathos
so natural and true as to bring the
commendation of the press , public
and pulpit.
The Yoeraen have selected some
of the best talent in Valentine and
"have secured S. Learning , leading
man with San ford Dodge to di
rect. Mr. Learning is at liberty
for two weeks , while Mr. Dodge
is undergoing treatment in Hot
Springs , S. D.
' The arrangements practically
guarantee that the Yoeman will
olfer as perfect a production of a
great play as the most exacting
taste could demand.

REARING LAYERS ,
An Expert Poultrymsn I ells How i h:8 :
Can Be Done Successfully.
H. P. Rankiu Ins the following word ?
of wisdom In the American Agricul
turist concerning the diliicult problem
of rearing chicks designed espeeial'y
for development into persistent layers :
When the ch'cks ' first come out of the
shell. I leave them in the incubator till
the last hatched is twenty-four hours
old. then remove to a brooder with a
temperature of 00 degrees , the brooder
floor being first1 covered with a thin
layer of sand and one inch of cut al-
f.ilfa. and give grit and water two
hours before feeding. I feed a dry
grain chick food containing 20 per
cent chick grit and . " > per cent small
granulated charcoal. The brooder is
cleaned every day by sifting sand
through a cornmeal sieve. Beef scraps
are kept before them after tiny are
four days old. This is their feed till
they are six weeks old , when they are
given free range and are fed but three
times a day , corn being mixed with
their food , one part cracked corn , one
part wheat , three parts ground oats in
bulk with fine meal sifted out. I al
ways feed In R litter to keep them
busy.
busy.When
When they are four months old , I
feed one part corn , one part wheat ,
one part barley and two part 4 oats
three tares a day with coarser char
coal in the same proportion or fed in
hoppers always before them. At five
months old I begin feeding one part \
corn , one part wheat , one part barley
and two parts o-its three times a day
with coarser charcoal in the same pro
portion , or fed in hoppers always be
fore them , with green stuff of some
sort always near. Steamed cut alfalfa
and cabbage are best in winter. In
rearing laying chickens it is most im
portant to keep them growing all the
time and always busy. Nothing ever
has been or will be profitable brought
up in idleness.
By following the above regimen and
nttendinir to proper cleaning of the
chicken houses , destroying all injurious
vermin , insects , etc. , and using scrap
meats exclusively , I have reared chick
ens that have no superiors in laying J i
qualities. I do not breed for yearly -
records , wanting eggs only from Nov.
1 to Ju'y 1. and I select none for breed
ers that do not lay nt least l.'O egsrs
in that"period. . In selecting my bree -
ers I weigh their breeding , laying qual
ities and standard points.
Fighting Vermin.
It is a waste of time to fight vermin
so long as the droppings are allowed to
remain in the houses week after week.
Clean up each morning. It takes but .1
minute or two each day , and with the
occasional assistance of kerosene lice
sel-lom cau.se any trouble.
Remove the nest boxes and fixtures
from the houses and fairly saturate i
them with kerosene , then go inside i '
and with a spray pump send the kero- j
sene i : { i every crack und crevice. It '
does noble work , and your hens will j
bless you for it. j ,
Another good precaution is to use insect - j
sect powder liberally in the nest boxes.
It will kill such vermin as arc lodged
in the feathers of the hens. |
If the young chicks are drooping , ex- | '
ainlne their h < xds , and the chances ara ' .
that a largi gray louse will be found. !
A drop of sweet oil will soon settle the
