Mr. Kight traded his 240 acre farm, a couple of miles east of here, (80 acres of it is of the Dan Mallow and Mat Petty farms) for a 900 acre tract of timber land in Arkansas. Mr. Zellers will go out there and put in a sawmill and go to work cutting the timber Into lumoer for various uses. The timber is very heavy and tall, all hard wood. The Fair Oaks and Parr ball teams had a contest here Sunday, resulting in a defeat for Parr. One would have thought it was a 4th of July, judging by the crowd. Buggies and automobiles came loaded and the howling that was kept up was equal to a 4th of July celebration. It looks more like a heathen country than a Christian nation. People are living too fast now-a-days. Twenty-five years ago, Sunday base ball was unknown. People always had time to take Saturday afternoon for the game and on Sunday everybody had time to go to Sunday school and church. But now lots of the professed Christians will go from services to the ball game, and lots of them will miss services entirely. The bible says: ‘‘the way of the transgressor is hard. It looks very plain that there is but few Christian men at the head of our government or we would have different laws on this subject.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Lime Not a Soil Food. Always bear in mind that lime in no way takes the place of manures, fertilizers or green manuring. It simply remedies a sick condition of the soil and should be considered rather as a medicine than as a food. Its use without the use of manures or fertilizers would be much like trying to sustain the human body on stimulants alone without the use of food and would result only in the greater impoverishment of the soil. On the other hand, when'a man is sick he sometimes needs medicines to get his system into condition so it can again assimilate food, and in the same way a soil which Is sick with acid must have that acidity cured with lime before it can make use of the plant food in the manures or fertilizers. Perhaps my simile is a little farfetched, but I think the read er will appreciate the point which the writer is trying to make—that lime is a corrective and not a food.—Alfred Vivian, Ohio State University, in New England Farmer.

When to Stop Churning. Different buttermakers have various ways of ascertaining the proper time when the churn should be stopped. It has been the general rule in the past that a churn should be stopped when the granules are a little larger than wheat kernels. If the churn is stopped when butter is gathered to the size of wheat kernels, the buttermilk will strain out very easily, will wash better and cleaner and aid in keeping the moisture at a more even percentage. Overturning should be guarded against as well as underchurning, for butter that is overchurned will retain a large amount of buttermilk, which is very difficult to remove by washing. Consequently the butter will in time take up a rancid or buttermilk flavor directly from the buttermilk that is retained.—A. H. Wilcox Before Wisconsin Buttermakers.

Poultry Not**. Pumpkin or squash seeds are apt to kill ducks. t Have roomy coops for the chickens so that they will have a chance to exercise If compelled to stay indoors during stormy weather. Guineas do not scratch like other fowls and therefore are safe to have in the garden. They should be given their freedom, as they do not thrive in confinement. One of the best feeds for breeding turkeys is oats and should make at least one-half of the snpplied ration, especially during the next three months. The early hatched cockerels will sell in July and August at a good profit and the pullets will supplant the Inferior old hens. With good care the pullets will begin laying as soon as matured.—Farm Journal.

THE SPORTING WORLD

Pitcher Marquard Making Good. Pitcher “Babe” Marquard, the sll,000 beauty whom the New York Natienals obtained from the Indianapolis club of the American association last fall, Is now proving be is worth the money paid by the New York management Before the season opened the

PITCHES “RUBE” MARQUABD OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS.

general opinion of the baseball critics was that Marquard would not come up to expectations. But since the start “Rube— has proved that he is capable of bolding his own against any twirler In the big league. His recent defeat of the champion Cubs was a notable one. Big Fight Purses Absurd. Purses of $200,000 for professional fighters on the very face of them cannot appear anything but absurd. There is a limit to everything. The greatest crowd that ever witnessed a fight turned out to see the Burns-John-son battle in Sydney last December. There were over 18,000 spectators, and, though the choice seats sold for $25 each, less than $130,000 was realized on the gate. It is doubtful if America cbuld do even this well Of course Jeffries and Johnson would be the greatest card ever staged. But not more than 20,000 people would part with the coin. These would have to average $lO each to pay the bare purse. Even the Alaska-Yukon exhibition people are not throwing money away to advertise their affair. Recent Baseball Transfers. Acting President Heydler of the National league announced in New York the following contracts and releases: Contracts.—With Chicago, Don Carlos, Patrick Ragon (contract assigned); With Pittsburg, Charles Phlllippe; with St. Louis, R.

Pitcher Ed Walsh of the Chicago American league team and Second Baseman John J. Evers of the Chicago Nationals each had to pay a fine of SIOO for failure to report to their respective clubs before May L The players were reinstated, and the announcement of the fine was made by the National baseball commission at Cincinnati. Jockey Notter Receives SIO,OOO Salary. Two American jockeys rode for the first time in Germany at the opening of the season at Karlshorst. They are Notter and Radtke, and they ride for the Weinberg and Hanlel stables, respectively. It Is reported that Notter receives $ higher salary than a Prussian minister, whose pay is about SIO,OOO annually. Arrange Dates For Polo Mateh.

NEGROES SCORE TAFT’S CONDUCT

Find Fault With Appointments Be Has Hade. SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION League Adopts Resolutions Condemning Alleged "Policy of Retrogress •Ion" and Declaring That the President's Utterances Have Been In Effect an Invitation to White Men to Make It Appear There Was Opposition to Putting Colored Men In Office. Columbus, 0., May 28.—After a prolonged debate the National Negro American league adopted resolutions condemning the alleged policy of retrogression adopted by President Taft and declaring it has no apology to offer for its stand against him previous to his election. The resolutions declare that Presi dent Taft’s utterances have been in effect an invitation to white men to make it appear that there was opposition to the appointment of colored men to office and have tended to justify the new constitutions adopted In southern states designed to eliminate the negro voters. Appointments made by the president, are criticised, especially of Democrats with alleged ante-bellum tendencies. The appointment of a federal Judge in North Carolina especially Is cited. - The attitude of the president has had an effect prejudicial to the negro In industrial life, It is declared, inasmuch as membership in labor unions which they have held for years now has been seriously objected to. The resolutions denounce the "executive color line policy” of Taft and demand that he square his policies with the Chicago platform so far as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are concerned.

COMET VISIBLE TO THE EYE

Look to the Southwest Horizon Just After Sunset New York, May 28. —A new comet which is flying through space toward the sun at the rate of many million miles a minute may be seen with the naked eye just after sunset any evening on the southwest horizon, according to statements by Edward Fairfax Naulty, an astronomer. Because of the direction of its flight and the relative position of the earth, Its head is not visible. Its tail, which is several million miles long, can be clearly seen.
