This is the 1900 play as giv en by the German Peasants at Ober ammergau, Ger many, and is by greatest authority pronounced to be the best play, if it may be called such that the world has ever seen. W e will produce it here but three nights. Don't miss it. December 24 25 26 IF . YOU HAVE EVER HEARD 3 IS IR O YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF A.ND CHRISTIANITY TO SEE 3ST This Greatest of Great Plays A 1 i i 3 US u TS O o bo a o 5P c 0 "a X e THE STORY Many years ago there was a great pestilence sweeping over Germany. Entiro Tillages vere depopulated and the peasants at Oberammergau being a very religious lot cf people met together and promised in sermon and prayer that if they were spared they would produce a play showing the life and crucifixion of Christ as nearly as possible. The pestilence never bothered these devoted people. THE PASSI0X PLAY IS THE RESULT. An attempt was made at one time to reproduce and stage the play in Xew York but it was at once prohibited by law. The only place the play can be seen is at Oberammergau, Germany. We reproduce it here by actual photographs. 4000 Feet Hand Colored MOVING RESERVE Randolph Ketchum PICTURES SEATS Frank LaFoIIette HEALTH OF SHEEP.

The whole tnaiuiKement must tend to keep the Iambs licalthy, ami for that reason the customary plan Is to allow the h.n.bst ta pasture ahciul of the sheep. TltU Is done by moving the hu.ib hurdle ahead cf (he sheep, to that the lauds are j:lv en the ftvwa pasture first ami the sheep allowed to follow the next day.

The farmer who keeps a Oink of sheep should remember they need plen ty of giHHl Bhado Uurlnii the hot sum mer days. Their coata of Wool are of the warmest material, aud tbey ueed a refuse fnui the hot Bun at the mid dle of the day. A sheep will seek ust kind cf shelter, even If It U only that of a fonecpost. There bo will put bis bend lu tbo shade aud try to Imagine bis whole body U protected front the hot sun. If there are no dense treoa In the pas ture. It will be a potid Ilea fur the farmer to construct au artillcla! shade An open shod with the rocf slanting toward the south will lie suitable. If this prove too expensive. It will be well to build a shade out of cheaper material Forked posts set In the ground on which to support rulls, then covered with straw or boards, will be cheap and sensible. If there Is an open abed alwut the barn. It mtifht be well to let the flock run to thU Here they will shelter themselves from the beat and at nlyht get acctuitomcd to Come to tills place to sleep and thus protect themselves from any tlopi that have a tooth for mutton.-V. D. Neale. THE SHEPHERD. One farmer recommends r.s a pre ventive of ravages on tho sheep llocka by dogs that the cbeep owner place with bis flock a goat that will get along very well w ith the sheep and de fend them from the dug. A Breeder's Advice. A successful sheep breeder says: Po not breed to a dry fleeced ram. Tho aire bt the proper Improver, but In or der to be such be must te a good In dividual and descend from the Ust lineage. Study sire, dam and blood lines. Have a rltflit Ideal nnd breed to produce It Honesty is of as much importance in Bbeep breeding as It la anywhere else. Feed For Sheep In Milk. For sheep lu milk the best feed Is whole corn and oats, equal weight, (riving all the animals wlil eat up clean. To add succulence to tho feed, yellowr Swede turnips sliced fino are also good. Alfalfa bay should also be given In abundance. Graduating From the Patturo. Lamba going ou feed at the barns should be taken from the fields grad ually, so that the first night and day continuously at the barn will not give them a gaunt appearance. When they come to the bants front the pastures they should find good bay In the racks, but In small quantities. If tho bay Is not eaten up clean before they go to tho field, what Is left should bo taken out of the racks and fresh put In be fore tho lambs come to tho bam again. If tbey are to be fatted, ns soon ns possible a little corn should be put In tho racks with the bay. Tho amount of corn should bo small at first Excellent Pasturage For Sheep. Tho best pasture that we have ever used for our sheep, says Northwestern Agriculturist, has been some sown crop, Ilko oats, mixed with rape. Young standing corn makes an excel lent pasturage. Their close bite does no harm, and they do not trample down your feed as cattle do. Sheep, as is well known, are superior stock to turrr upon n gralnfleld after harvest They love tho weeds. Here Is the great benefit upon the farm In keeping sheep. About the only weed that they won't eat Is the thistle. They convert an undesirable growth Into good meat and wool. Fields tbat aro to be so cleaned, however, matt be properly fenced. BUSINESS POINTERS. For a mild Bmoke The La Rosa. New line of fine silverware just ar rived ; most suitable for Christmas gifts. 1).

As far tvs we are able to Judge, tho cows l!,e the notion cf the tullUUirf m-trhlno Jut'-t ha well as If not better than ban I milk lu. How much do uiliklug muchiues C't? A.

What Is the effect of tho lul'.i!:ig machine r-n the milk flows of cows? A. So far .u we are able t Judge, the milking machine la very nuccosuful with younger cow and heifers, but with older cows It I thought that the tendency Is for them to go dry a little sinter than would 1 the ease with band milking. Q. Im the milk clettuer when drawn by tbo machine? A. Itesults so f,;r differ. Pome claim that the milk la very much cleaner, while others tlud more germst In the machine tnl'k. We are Inclined to think Unit this Is largely the fault of the operator, liec.'use where the dairy man is thoroughly clean alnuit every thing else hi connection with bis dairy there seems to be little trouble In keeping the m.HUtng mni hlno clean. Q. Are the milking machines hard to ebon? A. They nre bard to clean for ft careless dairyman, but for n dairyman who is scrupulously clean lu every thing else It Is quite possible uuJ prac ticable to keep them clean. Q. Will the mncbltit i get out of order very easily? A. t'o far Rfi tho exjierlence of those who hnvo used them three of four years Is concerned, there is nothing about them to get cerlously out of or der. (. What power Is used to run tho machine? A. Any power may be ur.ed- puch as water, steam or gasoline engine. The majority use gasoline engines. A two horsepower slue will run a machine for fifty cows. The cost of gnsolino will be onc-quiirter to one-half cent per cow per milking. Q. Ho the milking machines Injure the cows? A. Ko far ns wo are able to Judge at present, there Is no danger of Injuring the cows If the tent cups aro of proper size. Q. How about kicking cows? A. After the lin t few times there is very little danger of trouble with the average kicking cow. Vicious kickers may give trouble lu kicking off tho tubes, but such cows are rarely of use In the dairy. Q. How many kinds of milking ma chines nre there, and which aro best? ,A. There are tt great many styles of milkers, but these nre In the main of two distinct types-thc Ruction ma chine and the mnchlno Hint presses tho milk out of tho tent. So far ns we are aware, the suction ninchlnes have giv en rather the better satisfaction. 8hecp Oreat Woed Eaters. lt us tako n glance at sheep as a medium of maintaining tho fertility of the soil. I should Uko to ask a ques tion and have it answered now. What Is the greatest hindrance to agriculture? Weeds. We rnlso in Iowa, in addition to lots of other things, 800 varieties of woods. Sheep will cat something over COO varieties of weeds, horses 300, cows 200. Is It not a reasonable con clusion, therefore, that, In tho absence of weeds, grass will take their place and that any animal that will cause two blades of grass to grow where there formerly grew but one Is a bene factor to the soli and nn animal that should bo looked upon with favor?
