BT LLOTD F. LONERGAN. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. Special.) Since his success in -Kismet," Otis Skinner has looked around vainly tor a suitable successor to it. He is now at the Liberty Theater with The Silent Voice." written by Jules Kckcrr Goodman, and founded on a tti!-y by' Oouverneur Morris. Candor compels the statement that the story, for some reason or other. w.i much more interesting than the play. On the stage Mr. Skinner is a musi cian, amalrur but persevering. aDd at one time a man of a few attainments in the field he had chosen for himself. The audience early learns the reason for his lack of skill he was growing deaf. That it might not altogether ruin his aappiness. he followed the advice of a friend, and married a young girl he loved. Her feeling for him. how ever, was more one cf pity, and later he found that her heart beat more varmly for the nephew of her husband than it did for the man she had prom ised to love, honor and obey, ftealiia tio of this truth robs the husband of all happiness in life. But he discovers that he is not the only person who has been tricked out of happiness, so he determines that he will see what his influence for good in the world may be by correcting, so far as it lies in the power of human being, the mis takes of the higher power that has brought so much evil into his life. Dramatic Skill Lacking. The audience sees the deserted hus band watching Central Park through his field glasses, and acting as a spe cial Providence for the various un fortunates who are revealed to him. The effect of the scenes would have been much stronger had the hero per formed his errands of mercy in per son but he preferred to watch and en't his valet to carry out his plans. . ."The Silent Voice" lacks dramatic skill In its development. To explain s4sor CAarJ& j- o CAtrfi: ncr whv the young wife repented of her bargain so speedily, she is.mado to say that it is due to her unwillingness to have children, because the deafness may be hereditary- Otis Skinner is al together remote in appearance, in tech nical style and in sympathy from tht part of a middle-aged man growing deaf. He Is one of the few really fine romantic actors on our stage, and it Is a pity that he is not supplied with a part suited to him. , . ; n....u. ; onAthr nl1 favorite who was welcomed back to Broadway in the holidays, sne is appearing i m Thirty-ninth-street Theater in "A Mix Up." written by Parker Hord. a new comer to the ranks of American play wrights.

While she was on the staee the enjoyment was all that could be desired. "A Mix Up" starts out fa vorably and proves that sometimes a talented perfprmer will triumph de spite a poor play.

BT W. LVDWlA. POULTRY diseases of various kinds are responsible for the loss of many fowls each year. It Is impossible to estimate the financial loss that the poultryman and farmer suffer annually through these diseases, many of which can be prevented. This sum Is a vast one, according to those who are in a position to know. If these diseases could be avoided in the poultry yard a great amount of disappointment could be eliminated and poultry busi ness would be made more profitable ki)rnnin in h chateau, and a banquet- room in the same house. t".

The libretto is the work "of Itida Johnson Young, author of several plays, while the music was composed by William Schroeder. who is unknown to fame. The music is reminiscent of other and earlier operetta scores, while Mrs. Thing's text at no point departs from the most' familiar material of the lib retto writer. In the two acts, however, popular personalities are revealed. Ina Claire slim and graceful, is the heroine, and Alan Mudie, who seems to grow more British the longer he remains in America, is her brother in the play. Harry Conor is the comedian.

Poultry are subject to many diseases and pouitrymen must expect more or less mortality in their flock. In some cases this loss runs high, while In others the death rate is small. The difference caused is dues to several things health and vigor of the birds. methods of housing and management and the sanitary methods adopted.

Usually the specimens i-.i.i in air the first attacked. and from them, if the disease is con tagious, is communicaiea to me " of the flock. . Keep the birds in a sta.te of perfect health. In this condition they can throw off most of the ills that they are subject to. This healthy condition is procured by exercising care in breed ing, in rearing and management A weak link in the chain may spoil it all. The writer receives ao many com plaints about - sickness, some bowel trouble, some general debility, others with a rattling in their throat and ap parent cough. Nine-tenths of all this Is caused by breeding stock that is not suited for the breeding pen at all: im mature pullets are perhaps mftedto their brothers, and not only mated this way this year, but the practice has been going on for years on the farm, where? perhaps, some little attention may be given them as to care, but no thought enters into the subject as to the best plans for mating. Or, if the thought is given it. and they know a change of roosters would be better by . . , .ui .ni n v unrelated getting uuiciuiM to the females, yet they do not want to spend the money 10 sary new blood. This is the rock that strands nine-tenths of the poultry raisers of this country. A good many of them have changed their tactics and have adopted the better plan, but there is a host .of them In this country who need the converting influence.

According to Rett ger. Stoneburn and Kirkpatrick the organisms are never entirely eliminated from the pullet's body and as she de velops some of them migrate to her ovary. They may also reach the ovary from the alimentary tract, when they are taken with the food through the mouth. They there enter the grow rig embryo yolks and remain until the yolks are discharged from the ovary, fertilized and laid. If such eggs are incubated and hatched the organisms are liUely to And thelv,way into the alimentary tract of the chick during embryonic life and multiply to such an extent that tne chick will have contracted the d.sease before the exclusion irora ino The point la, however, that while technically-. -the young creature contracts the disease by Infection from the mother, practically the disease is trans mitted from mother to the food sup ply of the potential offspring before hatching.

GVMOS1& a cherry tree disease which has been little understood, is In most cases caused 'by a bac teria which kills the areas of the bark and results in the production of gum. The gum itself does no great damage to the tree.' It Is merely as a sign that an area of the bark has been killed that It has partlcularsignifl- C8The only practical treatment for the disease is to cut out the diseased area and thus give the tree a chance to heal. Care should be taken not to remove any more of the living and healthy tissue than is necaary In cutting out the disease. It is not noreaaary on the edge, of cankers to cut into the wood and cambium. Re moving outer layers is usually suf ficient After cutting the wounds should be sterllised'with corrosive sub limate (1 to 1000) which can be ob aTned at any drugstore. When dry large wounds can be coated with wal nut grafting wax as a Protection against the destructive wood rotting fUnfri" White Lead Taint Aids.

A coating of white lead paint is good after sterilizing.
