HINTS FOR FARMERS

Hairy Vetch a Soil Fertilizer. An Alabama bulletin shows that the hairy vetch on an acre, vines, roots and seed, contains 202 pounds of nitrogen. This is a very high percentage and makes this crop extremely valuable tor putting uitrogen into the soil, and more than half of it comes from the air. Stock not familiar witfik vetch will have to learn to eat 1t; then they prefer it to other legumes. But the point about it that most commends it is its value as a fertilizer and the fact that It may be sown both fall and spring and make good crops. In fall, after a summer crop Is off, It may be sown and make a good crop to plow under In the spring. It is claimed to be preferable to most of the leguminous crops for use in the north. When sown in spring it also makes a good growth and can be plowed under and very soon rots. Owing to its fertilizing properties it is also a valuable cover crop for orchards. Some of the largest orchard owners recommend it as among the best plants for orchards.—Cor. Farm Progress. Care of Bheep In the Fall. In hot, dry falls sheep suffer very much. If the drought makes the pasture short, the necessity of grazing in the hot sun long enough to get a full feed causes the sheep to suffer from the heat. Every p&sture should be provided with plenty of shade and a supply of cool, fresh water. Sheep seem to drink very little, but what they do drink ought to be as good as possible. A thick clump of trees, under which there is undergrowth, is the best thing to have for shade. In such a place sheep will speud the hot pfirt of the day and be comparatively free from flies. A shed built to kee{) out light is a very attractive place to sleep. They are very sensitive to flies, and when they can get into a cool, dark place they are free from them.

Crop Bound Fowls. In the Rural New Yorker a contributor gives his method of treating a crop bound fowl as follows, said to be never failing if applied in time: “Take toilet soap the size of a large pea, dip in water and put in the chicken’s mouth. Immediately give about four teaspoonfuls of wAter. Carefully knead the crop until softened. In an hour or two give a tablespoouful of castor oil; or linseed oil (raw) will answer. Kuead again. Shut the chicken up and leave water for it, keeping all kinds of food from It. Next day, If the crop is becoming empty, feed some soft feed with a little grease in it. In a few days It will be well. For young chickens use about half the amount”

Sheep Notes.

A flock of sheep will keep the wood pasture pretty well cleaned up, but they cannot live on weeds and brush. It Is a great waste of time and money to allow sheep to become too old for mutton or wool. Get rid of them In time. There is scarcely a flock in the country bat that dipping will make better and far more comfortable. The sheep killing dog should be placed ou the same footing as one afflicted with hydrophobia. Nobody asks any questions regarding what should be done with a rabid animal, yet a sheep thief does ten times more damage than a mad dog.

Green Forage For Swine.

The man who raises hogs and does not have abundant green forage Is not making the best use. of his grain feed. A field of rye .sown daring early fall will come on early in the spring and tarnish a lot of cheap feed.

The SPORTING WORLD

Jennings and His Job. Hughey Jennings has instilled new life into the Detroit Americafis. He has proved himself a manager of, tho first class. It looks as if Detroit is nearer the winning path this season than since the club was a member of the American league. Hugh Jen-

nings has done fiuely with club and has not belied the expectations of those who prophesied that he would make good. If a club cannot secure a first class playing manager, a bench manager is far preferable, for the reason the game has grown so that the man who handles the playing end of a club should not be hampered by anything outside the supervision of the men.

As to ths American Way of Riding. Conservative English turf writers do not Join issue with Lord Durham in his statement that the “moukey seat of the Americans" is largely to blame for the starting troubles in England. Boris In the Referee says: “On the question of riding the majority of us will not Join issue with Lord Durham and his friends. The present style is undoubtedly due to the slavish imitation of a system introduced into this country by Tod Sloane a few years ago. Certainly the American Jockey had mastered all its details and was one of the few r who could keep a horse straight. The only other eompetent exponehfs bTIHe Crouching 6tyle could practically he counted on one’s fingers. When one inis mentioned such as the two Iteiffs and Danny Maher where are others coming from? “Most of. our youngsters are taught to balance themselves on a horse by their ankles, and there their tuition finishes. Boys may have the finest of hands and be fairly good judges of pace, but how do they negotiate turns and how do they finish? In nine cases out of ten they are practically useless when trying to assist their mounts in a severe struggle. Ter all intents and purposes they are only half educated In the rudiments of their profession because their mentors can explain to them only half of the theory of what Is called the American seat.” Want Vanderbilt Auto Race. The Forida East Coast Automobile association is determined to have the Vanderbilt annual international cup race run over the famous OrmondDaytona beach if such a thing is possible. Major Arthur B. Foster, president of the Florida East Coast A. A., had a conference with W. J. Morgan at the latter's office and later met former President Asa Paine, together with First Vice President Georg# X. Sobring of Obio ana chairman of the race committee, Commodore A. H. Alien of Daytona. The former gentlemen all own fine winter residences on the Florida east coast and are strong sui>porters of the A. A. A., as their club is one of the early members of the A., A. A. A conference was had with some of the national heads of the racing board of the A. A. A.*and the Vanderbilt cup commission, and it was learned from the latter that Florida stands a good chance of securing the great auuual road event.

Jones Opposed to Double Headers. “The great objection I have to double headers,” said Manager Jones of the Chicago White Sox, “is the fact that I have to wear sun glasses the first game, and when I have glasses ou I cannot see what Is going on at all. The Sox have plenty of pitchers and are better off iu this respect than any of the clubs that we have to play double headers with. We are no ex cop-' tlon to the league, however, as every one of the teams will have to play as many double headers as we will.”

A New Driving Club. Horsemen in the Massachusetts towns of Reading, Wakefield, Stoneham, Winchester, Woburn, Lynnfield and Wilmington have organized under the name of the Quannapoinett Driving club and will lease the Wakefield Reading half mile track for the purpose of holding matinee races throughout the season. The officers are: President, J. C. Maeomber; secretary, Arthur H. Jewett; treasurer, 11. A. Upton. The Dam of Marlon Wilkes.

Farm and Garden

A NEW TOBACCO. Valuable Cigar Wrapper Variety Grown Under Bhade. The original plants of this variety were found by the writer growing In a crop of tobacco under cloth by M. L. Floyd near Tariffvllle, Conn., In the season of 1903. This crop was raised from seed brought to Connecticut from Florida and which originally came from the island of Sumatra. In this

field of the so called Sumatra variety of tobacco were found upon investigation eleven very distinct general types of tobacco plants which were strong; ly enough differentiated by certain characteristics of habit of growth, shape and size of leaves and quality to be designated as incipient varieties. Among these types was found one which most nearly approached the Ideal of a cigar wrapper plant, both as regards development of plant and character of leaves and strikingly different from every other type found in this field or in other fields. This was designated as “Type No. 8” for convenience in the breeding experiments and was so known until It was considered of sufficient importance to he named. After very careful and satisfactory tests in 1904 and 1903 theresults have proved beyond a doubt the value of this variety for growing commercially, together with'the fact that the seed comes true to type year after year when saved under bog. The name Uncle Sam Sumatra was given to this variety. It is a cigar wrapper variety of tobqcco and adapted for growing under shade in the cigar wrapper producing regions. The plants reach an average height of about eight feet at the time of maturity, and they bear an average of about twentjr-six leaves before topping. The cured leaves will average about sixteen Inches in width by twenty Inches In length, although tMb size varies according to field and cultural conditions. The yield of the crops of this variety Is high, being as much as 1,(500 pounds

of cured tobacco to the acre under favorable conditions. The percentage of the best grades of wrapper in these crops Is correspondingly high and satisfactory to the grower and manufacturer alike.—A. D. Shamel. Sorting and Packing Eggs. Eggs to be placed on the market Should be carefully sorted aud packed as to size, shape and color. It Is better not to put eggs having different colored shells iu the same package: neither should eggs varying much In size be placed in the same package. Every egg should be perfectly clean, and If slightly soiled it may be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If badly soiled the eggs should be discarded, for the washing required to clean them injures their appearance. The discarded eggs can be disposed of at some of the cheaper and less exacting markets. Eggs may be placed in large shipping cases or in small pasteboard boxes, according to how they are to he marketed.—G. A. Bell.

Pumpkins In ths Cornfield.

Pumpkin seeds are cheap, and they can be saved on any farm with almost no trouble. The cost of the seeds is the main expense of a good supply of pumpkins when planted In the cornfield, and they are very valuable to fiMd. Why, then, do farmers not plant them? Because the modern cultivator when adjusted for corn Is hard on the Tinea,— Agricola In lowa homestead.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Who Will Go to th* Picnic. • Here Is a game that is fun when yon are all sitting quietly some afternoon on the piazza. The game is culled “What will you take to the picnic?” and is played in-the following manner: To begin with, only one should be let Into the secret, as If all knew it would be no fun. Siqipose the hostess is the one familiar with the game. She then commences by announcing that she proposes to give a picnic and that it depends upon what her guests bring whether they will be allowed to come or not. Each must furnish two articles of food. She then asks the person nearest her, "What will you bring to the picnic?” If the name of neither of the articles the player mentions commences with the initial letter of his or her Christian or surname, the hostess says the player cannot go, and immediately puts the question to the next person, and then all the way round, asking each, “What will you bring to the picnic?” For example, suppose one girl’s name Is Msry Smith and that her donation 1b candy and bread. Then she cannot go, for neither of her names commences with Cor B. But If she took sandwiches aud macaroons she would be doubly welcome, for M and S are both her Initials. Shopld she take sugar and crackers she could go, for one of her names commences with S. Continue to ask the question until every one finally understands why they may either go or stay home from the picnic. It Is very amusing when all but one or two have found out, and they sometimes have to be asked over and over again until they finally discover why they are not wanted.

The Fourth Finger. There is a widespread belief that the fourth finger of the left hand—counting the thumb as the first finger—is connected with the heart by a delicate nerve and that this is the reason why It Is used as the “ring finger.” The belief came to us from the old Greeks and Romans, who ware so full of the superstition that they were In the habit of using the fourth finger to stir their medicines with, the notion being that If there were anything harmful In the drugs the finger’s delicate nerve would give Immediate notice to the heart. It is said that there is still a superstition among the uneducated people of England that it is not good to scratch the skin or rub on salve with that finger. Strange that silly beliefs of this kind Have so deeply rooted a hold on some people, but it Is generally on people whose habits of life have a tendency to keep them from thinking. The whole thing Is a fallacy, for there Is uo delicate nerve connecting the fourth finger with the heart

Two Misunderstood Titles. There is a widespread misconception about the title of the emperor of Russia. He Is almost universally called the czar or tsar. That Is not a title at all, the word czar meaning simply king. He Is never called that in Russia, the educated people calling him emperor, and the peasantry, gossudar, or lord. The Russian ruler has been officially and diplomatically known as emperor ever since Peter the Great obtained recognition as such. The other misunderstood title is that of the German ruler. He Is not the Emperor of Germany as so many persons call him, but the German emperor, n title that was expressly stipulated for by the German states when the confederation was formed in the time of Bismarck.

The Enchanted Princess. A newspaper is held over the head of one of the company by the others, who thus represent the tower lu which the princess lives. The enemy comes up and asks: “Where is fair Margaret?” “She is shut-up in her tower.” The enemy carries off one of the pillars— that is, one of the children holding up the canopy. This is repeated until only one is left, who drops the paper canopy and runs, pursued by the princess. The one who is caught becomes the princess* Conundrum*. Why Is a policeman like a rainbow? Because he rarely appears before the storm Is over. What is that which is invisible, yet never out of sight? The letter S. What is the largest room lu the world? Room for improvement.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

The Armenian Terrorists. The recent arrest In New York of Kissak Jellalian, member of the American Hunchakist society, has revealed a startling story of crime. The Hunchakist society, ostensibly a patriotic organization, was in reality a blackmailing band. According to Jellalian, the society was controlled by a central co/imiittee which levied tribute on rich Armenians. Failure to comply with the demands of the society was punished by death. The organization had branches in New York, Providence, Boston and Worcester and Is said to have collected thousands of dollars from its victims. The murder in New York on July 22 of 11. S. Tavshunjian, a wealthy American rug Importer, brought matters to a head. Tavslmnjian was organizing the wealthier .Armenians to resisU the demands of the secret order, and sentence of death was decreed and carried

out Identified with him in this work was Father Caspar Vartarian, an Armenian priest, who was killed in New York last May and his dismembered body placed in a trunk. The arrest of Jellalian and his revelations as to the inner workings of the Hunchakist will doubtless put an end to activity of the society In this country.

He Risked IL Vice President W. C. Brown of the New York Central railroad said In Syracnse that he believed In governmentn! supervision of the railroads. “Such supervision, conducted, as it is bound to be, with fairness, will benefit the whole country,” said Mr. Brown. “It Is an error to think that the government is going to oppose and persecute the railroads. Some people think that, though. They think the government is going to take chances with the railroads as the farmer did with his son. ‘The farmer’s son was plowing, and a great black crowd of crows followed the plow, picking up the worms that wriggled in the rich, chocolate colored furrows. “The farmer ran into the house, got his gun, fired at the crows and peppered his son's legs with shot. The young man fell down, and when his father ran up to him he groaned: “ ‘Didn’t ye see me, father?* “ ‘Yes,* said the old man, T saw ye well enough, but I didn’t like to miss the chance at the crows.’ ” McLean Once Beat Haskell. Charles N. Haskell, the lawyer and railroad builder, who has been nominated for governor by the Democrats of Oklahoma, is an Ohio man, fortysix years old, who loft that state eight years ago, after he had been beaten by John 11. McLean for the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio.

The Case of Mrs. Eddy. Perhaps no legal proceeding of recent years has aroused wider public Interest than the ease of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, the aged founder of Christian Science. A commission appointed by a judge of the New Hampshire superior court is to decide whether or not Mrs. Eddy w-as mentally competent to transact business in March of this year as a preliminary In

the suit tiled for an accounting of her estate by her son. George W. Glover of Lead, S. D., and others. William E. Chandler, senior counsel for the plaintiffs, was secretary of the navy from 1882 to ISSS and represented New Hampshire in the United States senate for fourteen years. After retiring from the senate in 1901 Mr. Chandler became president of the Spanish treaty claims commission. It will be remembered that he figured prominently in the tilt between President Boosevelt and Senator 'nilman a year or so ago when somebody’s veracity was questioned.
