with Katisha and informs them he is looking for his son, Nanki-Poo.
Of course, Ko-Ko and the rest are at a loss what to do, for they have '
already told of the execution of Nanki-Poo, having been ignorant of
his identity. To save himself from being boiled in oil, Ko-Ko finally

Synopsis of the Story
ACT L, Scene Ko-Ko's Garden in the Town of Titipu, Japan.
Nanki-Poo llees from the court of his father, the Mikado of Japan,
in order to escape marriage with Katisha, an elderly lady of the court.
He comes to Titipu in the disguise of a minstrel, to find Yum-Yum
with whom he is in love, lie learns, to his sorrow, that she is to be
married that afternoon to her guardian, Ko-Ko, formerly a poor tailor,
but now raised to the exalted rank of Lord High Executioner. Nanki
Poo, overcome with despair, decides to terminate his existence but is
prevented by Ko-Ko. Ko-Ko, being forced by imperial decree to
execute someone, agrees to allow Nnnki-Poo to marry Yum-Yum if
he will allow himself to bo beheaded within a month. During the
jnerry-mnking over the approaching wedding of Nnnki-Poo and Yum
Yum, Katisha appears, claims Nnnki-Poo and tries to reveal his
identity, but is prevented by shouts of the chorus. In anger she re
turns to the Mikado for assistance.
. - ACT II.
Scene Same as Act 1.
Act II opens with preparation of Yum-Yum for her approaching
marriage to Nanki-Poo. Ko-Ko appears and tells of a law of Japan
by which a wife is buried alive when her husband Is executed. This,
' of course, changes their plans, but before a decision is reached the
Mikado is announced as approaching the city. Ko-Ko, fearing that
tho Mikado is coming to find out if the execution has taken place as
he ordered, causes Poo-Bah to prepare a certificate of the execution
of Nanki-Poo, and signs it with the titles of his (Pooh-Bah's) various
Washington, March 24. Exit the
old spring house in the shady dell, in
whose cool, dark recesses brown
crocks of butter and milk were shel

time. Enter prosaic refrigerator.
This is what would follow if the adice
of the Department of Agriculture, in
a bulletin just issued, were followed.
Every farmer should be his own ice
man and have his own ice house, say3
the department, pointing out the im
portance of pure ice to the country
home. Not only doe3 it add to the
enjoyment of country life but en
hances the profitability of farming by
its influence on nerishahln nrmlnpta
' i . j
"During the winter," says the de- j
partment, "tarmers will find it profit
able to make every possible arrange
mene for harvesting and storing such
ice ag may be available in their local
ities. Ice is a luxury and yet in many
sections of the country it may be had
for the gathering if the farmer is
prepared for the harvest at the right
time. The cost of harvesing and
storing ice is not great compared with
the comfort that it brings, an ample
supply of this luxury is of greater im- (
tome in me tuuiiwy nome man in
marketing show that other products
besides milk, such as fruit and eggs,
if chilled before being taken to
market, arrive in much better condi
tion. Ice. in the country home, there
fore, is the value for a greater num
ber of purposes than at first might
seem."
The normal ice supply of the
northern states averages from eight
to ten inches while in eastern Vir
ginia the thickness is about four to
six inches. A stream or pond fom
which ice i3 taken should be free from
any source of contamination or pollu
tion. Ponds in which green spawn
grows profusely can be cleared by
use of copper sulphate.

crs as are not near lakes or streams j
often gnther quite a supply of ice ,
by putting out pans or troughs filled
with wator and removing the ice after '
the water has frozen. I
"No only is ice aonrecinted Wmw
of its use in the preservation of fresh
meats, butter, and other table sup- j
plies, but production of high grade
domesic dairy products is almost im-'
possible without it. Many markets to
which milk is now shipped demand
thnt it be cooled before shipment, to
a degree not attainable without the'
use of ice. Modern methods of
The South offers opportunity of
raising early spring lambs that are
not afforded by any other section of
the Union, says the department of
Agriculture in its effort to encourage
new agricultural pursuits in that sec
tion to couner-balance over-produc-lon
of cotton. On account of climatic
conditions, ewes naturally lamb much
earlier than they do in the north, and
the southern farmer should take ad
vantage of this condition, says the
department. Lambs born in Novem
ber nnd December can be finished for
market by the latter part of February '
or early March and if shipped north '
will command the highest prices paid j
for lambs. To produce such mutton '
it is essential that tho l.imk i. ...n !

the market. I
"Remembering thac the cheapest j
gams are always made with young
stock nnd thnt forage crop conditions i
are especially suitnbln i..: !
and finishing mutton lambs, the
southern farmer can well afford to
give thought and consideration to the
possibility of placing a small flock of
sheep on his farm," the department
states. "The success of the Tennes
see lamb industry is an indication of
the possibility of the industry in other
southern states."
Repors received by the Department
of from 290 shipping points in r16
principal late onion producing states
show that approximately 21,623 car
loads of onions were shipped and 7,
897 carloads were held in storage at
those 'points. Approximately 18,
239 carloads were shipped and 6,695
were stored last year.
The cabbage crop was better, too.
Reports from 328 shipping .points in
the ten principal cabbage states
showed the production to be 20,390
carloads this year compared to 18,
684 in 19J.3.
