The story, Iike the play, was written by Mr. J, Hartley Manners. It is witty and clever. Every line of it will entertain you. A romping, madcap. bewitching Irish girl is' turned over to the - care of aristocratic English relations, They are stiff and artificial and she is as sweet and natural as a healthy country girl can be,. They dislike her, but Peg holds her own with jaunty pride, and in the end, by her generosity and big -heartedness, wins them over, and what is still more, wins a very gallant lover. This, in brief, is the story of a play which by its sweetness and charm has been one of the most phenomenal successes New York has seen in a long time, the play having run 604 consecutive nights, or about two years. at a theatre in that city. The author has turned the play into a novel so sympathetically, so brilliantly, that Peg as a heroine of fiction is as lovable as she is on the stage. took for Opening Chapters in Next Issue of "Times. -' '� LW, ��•�+`�t , ti !+°.

There are many advantages over other fowls to be had in raising geese, They do not require costly shelter: a very common cheap shed of rough him- ber, unlit near the ground. is a sufficient house for the flock, The picture shows father goose and his faenily. DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE ON THE ORDINARY FARM [Prepared by lighted States department of at:riouttural ran iligh Prices of meat that have prevailed for years in tbe United States have led .men wbo hither- to have not thought of the matter to consider the possibility of raising beet cattle. For the man about to engage in this business one of the tnoet inn - portant questions is the breed he Is to select, Beet cattle are divided bate two general elasnes, the strictly beet breeds and the dual purpose breeds. For the rancbman and the farmer who is in a position to manage a large herd the beet breeds will probably be more profitable. F'or the small farm- er who can keep only a few cattle and must depend upon those be does keep to produce milk and butter for his family the «nal purpose breeds are Possibly better suited. In the United States the principal dual purpgse »reeds are ceratin types or the Shorthorn, the ked Polls, the Devons and the Brahman, or "Indian" cattle: The latter, however, are not strictly dual purpose cattle and are of importance only in the extreme south. cd eotil and wheat et nigbt.

They possess, how- ever, many of the same qualities which have made the beef Sborthorss the most popular of all strictly beef breeds. In particular they respond readily to good treatment. Their color may be red, red and white, pure white or roan.

HE Devon is a much older breed than the Red Poll's, having been introduced into this country so early that they were 'popular in New England and parts of Virginia a cen- tury ago. At that time the cows were recognized as good milkers, while the steers were used both for work oxen and tor beet. The Devon cattle are vigorous, hardy and good rustlers. .As z$a,„sss>eh.,Y-w- ase Poen neer, Una nen • xb., 2o,' 22, Plical emer wZNNEx to 1912, PROBER - Tr of A. P. iU'.

Success of an Agricultural Movement Which Has Spread In Many States. The past three years bas seen the be- ginning and the development of the county farm bureau movement iu the United States. Ever since the founds tion of agricultural colleges and the United States deportment of agricul- ture there bas been a coustautly in- creasing desire .on the part of all classes of people interested to get be- fore the country as a whole the best ngricuiturai informetiou obtainable in a concrete way. At this time there are 313 counties in the United States, each organized with a paid county agent or adviser at the head of it. His work embraces silos. crops. live stock, cultural and tillage methods, better roads and is now tunnel to be reaching Mut into the schools where agriculture is taught and intro- ducing it into those where it is not taught, and into the question of mar- kets and credits. in short, the more- ment has become au agricultural com- mercial club for each county to broad- en its scope in every way. Sixteen states in the Union, Indiana. Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota. Michigan, Nortb Dakota, New Jersey. Ohio, Utah, Oregon. Washington, Ver- mont, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Illinois, bave already consented to let the county supervisors appropriate money for the use of the county farm bureau or development association. The county adviser is always on the Job. Ile not only visits the different farms in his county- daring the spring. summer and fall, but gives lectures during the winter and answers all let- ters sent hint. Ile brings to the coun- ty in eonercte• shape all the scieistitie• facts that have so lung been i:utded up in ung colleges aa:d experiment stn tions, which have by no means laseat put to general +itis. Through the local clubs every one tlntl. out how the best farmers ur ench community are cant - ducting such phases of their work. and consequently there is a tremendous tendency to adopt thele good ways by committees. and thus ;,'eat results soon become apparent. Strange tis It may seem, the smallest part of the county form agent's work is advisory. The fa:'suers resent the adviser idea, and Jnstly. No class of people likes to be tic' subject of defi- nite uplift work, bat the first problems to he solved iu rural cummtwitics are those of organization and team work. For instance, it requires the ma/It- eration of a neighborhood to adopt single varieties of r:rain and standard• ize the product of the community so that it can be offered in sufficient quantity to demand better prices. Hog cholera cannot be eradicated unless the community works together in're- porting the disease so that serum may be t'rornptly administered, and such sanitary precautions, taken as are nec- essary to prevent it from spreading. One man cannot drag the roads contin- uaNy. An individual farmer can hard. ly be expected to keep his place free from weeds if his neighbors allow the same weeds to mature just across the fence.
