The death of Albert Dearborn of

GREAT SOPRANO COMEVGG
Miss Florence Macbeth Will Slug
In Metfyodist Cl*m-h, Ityjsriay
It ife many years since any
singer has created so deep a stir
in the musical world as has our
charming little country woman,
Florence Macbeth*. The' history of
the musical life of ibis generation
cannot show a parallel to such uni
versal acclaim. London, which)
makes and unmakes repuations
greeted her as a direct successor
to Patti.
It is not merely the rare beauty
of voice, but the remarkable art
which she displays in her sing
ing, that has so surprised the
knowing ones.
At the age of 23 she conquered
London she has sung at guest
performances at the Hamburg
Opera house she was the princi
pal colorature soprano with the
Chieago Grand Opera company sht
has been a special guest performer
with the CenUiry Opera company
she was engaged for two perform
ances at the opera at Budapest,
and was compelled, owing to her
success, to give eight she 1ms
sung at threfe guest performances
at the Royal Opera at Dresden,
one of the most artistic and ex
clusive opera houses in all the
world she has also sung at the
Braunschweiger Ducal Opera Hous
and was to have sung this winter
at the Royal Opera, Berlin, the Hoi
Opera at Vienna, and Imperial
Opera at Moscow and St. PQters
burg. Tine war unfortunatey has
prevented the fulfillment of the
last four engagements.. Miss Mac
beth'® time was booked solidly in
Europe up to the first of next
August.
It is not opera alone that claims
her. The finest orchestras in the
world have sought her services
and she has sung with) the follow
ing famous organizations The
Lamoreaux Orcestra of Paris the
'London Symphony and the Queen's
Hall Orchestra, and has for three
successive seasons, been engaged
by the.English Philharmonic so
ciety of Liverpool. Two tours
through) the English provinces
have only served to ncrease her
popularity and created a desire
to hear her more often.
Nor has her success b°en con
fined to her profession, for the
social world hias taken her to its
heart.* Royalty and aristocracy,
art and letters have vied in do
ing her honor. Unusual and world
wide successes have not spoiled
her she is the same little gentle
woman that she was when she
first left Mankato to conquer the
world of song.

DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS.
Diversification of cropi has
been agitated so much In the
0 south that its importance In
northern states has been over
looked. Farm surveys show,
however, that the terms in the
north yielding the highest net
(*oflt are those that have a *a
rl^jr oC.- sources of cash income.
In pwlJtibie section of central
Ndw"York we Ond that most
farmers produce ha?, potatoes,
cabbage, beans, fruit and some
live stock for sale. This whi
ter potatoes, fruit snd cabbage
have all been low In price, but
because of their variety of prod
ucts these farmers have been In
sued against total failure. The
coming year or two is certain to
be a period of fluctuating prices.
Everything points at present to
high prices for such staples as
wheat, pork and beef, but there
Is no assurance that there will be
say substantial improvement in
the prices of potatoes, vegetables
or fruit. Therefore it will be
only an expression of foresight
edness for the farmer to throw
out a little anchor to windward
In tbe form of a few acres of a
staple that has a good local de
maud.
Specialties are a good thing in
the long run, and the fellow who
has two or three is going to be
the one who will bridge the pe
riods of price depression.—Coun

MAKING ACID PHOSPHATE.
Importance of the Product In
the
tilizer
Fer­
Industry.
[Prepared by United States department
of
agriculture.]
The manufacture of acid phosphate
has come to play such an important
part in the fertilizer industry of the
United States that the department of
agriculture has just issued a bulletin
on the subject which is designed both
for manufacturers and for progressive
farmers. Phosphate rock, it is said,
has almost entirely displaced bone,
guano and apatite as a source of phos
phoric acid, and a knowledge of the
exact composition of the rock is of
importance, because not only the phos
phate of lime but all the impurities aa
well are acted on by the sulphuric acid
used as a reagent and influence the
finished product
Of sii the impurities occurring in
phosphate rock compounds of iron and
alumipium are the most dreaded. Even
in •small quantities these elements are
apt to cause a certain amount of re
version and in large quantities may
render the product sticky and unfit for
use. By careful handling, however,
phosphate high in iron and aluminium
compounds may be made to produce
high grade acid phosphate. On the
other hand, carbouate of lime is desir
able when the quantity is not excessive.
Both the "den" and the "open dump"
systems are in general use for making
acid phosphate, each having certain
advantages. In the "den" system after
the rock and sulphuric acid are thor
oughly mixed the compound is dropped
into a closed brick lined chamber or
"den," where the chemical reactions
raise tbe temperature to a high point
and are completed in twenty-four hours
or so, the product being then ready
for shipment. In the "open dump"
system, as the name Implies, the mix
ture of acid and rock is dumped on an
open pile and may require a mouth or
even longer to become flt for use. The
fu)nes given off-in the process, more
over, may become a serious nuisance
in the vicinity of towns. On the other
hand, the removal of the acid phos
phate from tbe den Is troublesome and
when done by hand sometimes danger
ous.
The cost of producing acid phos
phate, the bulletin says, depends on a
number of varying factors, such -as
the stae, location and equipment of
the plant and the cost of sulphuric
add. Exclusive of office expenses It
may be said to range from $6.20 to $8
a too. The product is sold on the ba
sis of its so called available phosphoric
acid content and Is worth at the fac
tory from 40 to 86 cents a unit, or
twenty pounds. The phosphoric add
content runs from 14 to 21 per cent of
the marketed product.
Easier Way te Lay Flooring.
Laying a floor has always been a
hard job for me if the lumber was
warped. But I have just completed a
corn crib in which I used the cant
hook for forcing the flooring into
place, and I was surprised at the ease
with which the work was done. In do-
ing It the chain was anchored to a
window sill or studding. The handle
of the cant hook was placed against
a flooring board and the hook caught
into a link of tbe chain. The handle
was then pulled back, forcing the
flooring boards Into place. When doing
this a block should be placed between
the hook on the chain and the window
sill and also between the cant hook
handle and the flowing. —Correspond
