WHAT TEAMS AND PLAYERS ARE DOING THIS
SEASON.
The actual football season OF 1901 was opened
yesterday, and from all indications 1t Will be the
greatest In the history OF the sport in this
country. Yale, Princeton and Harvard have five
teams this year. In spite OF the discOuagng reports
which have been sent out ut regular intervals about
them. Yale undoubtedly, has wonderful eleven
the favote for the championship among betting
men. The general opinion seems TO be that Harvard
will not be able lower the colors Of the NewHaven
men this year.
Princeton has a good team also, but 1t is not so
like She is not strong In the centre as she might
be and the work on the team, taken as whole Is
not Arst-class. Those Yale men in their practice
games in this neghborhood showed not only thorough
playing but perfect team work, two cminenty es-
sential qualifications in the success Of football
eleven.
The local Amateur Union championship series also
opened yesterday and promises to be interesting

their rivals and football men the Crescents

SIlearing Sheep.

While sheep shearlng should be done as
soon as warm, settled weather comes on,
there Is no advantage In doing 1t before this,
and generally 1t will be best to shelter, for a
few days before shearing, at night and on
stormy days.
Upon the way the work is done will de.
pend the price that can be obtained for the
wool, and.a difference of few cents per
pound will often make considerable DIFF
ference In the per cent. of profit.
Cleanliness Is an important item. All tags
and dirt should be removed first. Select
clean place for shearing, so that the fieeces
burs OF any kind In them they should be kept
separate, as even few bury pieces In a lot
OF wool will lower the price Of the whole lot,
and 1t Is poor economy to make the best Sc II

best ut the price for the lowest.
In shearing it's always we'll to keep the
fieeces together. A little care III shearing
and handling will make considerable DIFF
ference In this respect. Have the shears
sharp In order to cut clean and smooth.
After the fleece Is taken off spread 1t out

from each side to the centre until In long

than pay for the work required. With wool,
as with nearly all farm products, the best
quality brings the best prices, and to con.
siderable extent the quality is determined by
the condition.
While, II carefully tied up, there Is little
waste In wool. yet there Is considerable loss

the oil. Hence, as rule, 1t is best to sell as

prospects are unusually good, for consider

An experienced gardener and fruit cultur-
ist writes to the Springfield Republican CT
the habits OF the tent caterpillar. whose nests
are now so numerous on apple and cherry
trees, and the best way to destroy these
pests, which will soon strip the trees of their
leaves If nor taken care of. These caterpilars
remain in their tents or webs all times when
not engaged In eating. They all go out at reg
ular hours to eat and return to the tent as
soon as their meals are finished, feeding but
twice day, In the forenoon and afternoon.
They rarely leave their nests before eight In
the morning. and are all back In their tents at
noon, going out in the afternoon and return
ing at night. They never leave their nests
on stormy day to eat. Therefore early
morning, noon, night, OF stormy day are
the times when they may all be destroyed In
the nest. While the nests are small and the
caterplllars are weak and young, they may
be destroyed by crushing them by hand 10
their nests. Where the pests are too high
for this treatment mop dipped In kerosene,
soap suds or white.wash, and tied to pole
will do the work.
This work of destruction should be done at
once. By the end of May the caterpiIlars
separate from each other to find some crevice,
spin their cocoous and enter the papal state,
from which In from IA to Il days each bursts
from its thin shell a moth ready for work
again, laying Its eggs on the twigs near the
intersection of some branch.

FARM AND HOME.
A Farmers Garden,

At farmers institute recently held, a
paper was read from which the following is
taken: 'Some things by courtesy are called
gardens. They are patches of ground sur
rounded by dilapidated fence and a few
ragged, untrimmed currant bushes and stray
CLING berry vines. A few neglected goose.
berry bushes are struggling for existence.
The little fruit which may start on these
bushes soon succumbs to the rav.ges of the
worms. A pillow does tine tillage as best It can,
and short row of peas furnishes the meal
or so. Some beans and other vegetables make
a few wholesome meals, but by tie last OF
summer they are gone, and then the farmers
wife must resort to the pork barrel.
The farmers garden Is 100 small. 1t should
be large enough to till with horse, and
should contain everything. Plant among
other things the old champion pea. and use
the fence wire for it to climb on. One set of
this wire will last for lnany years II put away
when the peas are gone. Variety Is great
virtue In "a garden; have something all
through the season-beans, peas, and corn.
There should be beds Of the permanent veg
etables like asparagus. The family health
will be improved By good garden. 1t is
cheaper than drugs and doctors. The patient
matron should be furnished with these aids.

TWO CAPTAINS.

Well. no, wasn't no soldier but somehow

l didn't go out with no rifle, the same that my

But can't help havin' the feelin' that somt

You see II were this way. When Lincoln come

AM some states begun their secedn', an ru
mers Of war filed the air,
Our boys had just growed up to manhood
strong, patriotic an bright.
An so they was ready for hghtin' for what they
believed to be right.
Now mother were kind of romantic, an talked
of the rights of the state,
But the nation my gran'father fit for seemed all
right TO me up to date;
An SO we was kind of divided on which were
the way 1t shOuld be,
An Edward, he sided with mother, an Will
llar1, he sided with me.
An after some time OF hard fghtin', an neither

Why, william, he went tor the union, an Ed.
ward he put on the gray;
An mother an me kept on tendin' the farm as
we'd done fOr long years,
Both wisnin .tEe war 1t were over; 1t brought to
us sadness an tears.

So looked at the sky, and then mother, she
came to the door with sigh,
An she said: ~ reckon they're fghtin'."
"They're fghtin'; yes, mother" says l.
At last the long fight were nigh ended, the ter
rible struggle near done,
An we hoped that the time was approachin'
when we could once more have a son.
Well, man ne makes plans for the future the
way he would like thiLps to be,
But GOD 1t is who disposes an fixes the final
decree.
At Petersburg Grant went a.poundin', deter
mined on winnin' the day.
An DO h of our captains was in it-one captain
in blue, one In gray;
An after the battle were over they lay in tent
side by side.
Our boys, they'll never come home, for they fit,
an they fell, an they died.
One died for the union he fit for, victor who
gained but grave;
The other for states rights fell bleedin', a
martyr defeated yet brave.
Each gave up his life for his duty, as duty ap-
peared in his sight;
Each fit an each fell ike hero. an God alone

Pigs Teeth.

A pigs age may be known By its teeth. a,
well as the age of other animals. It's mode
of dentition Is as follows: 1t Is horn with
-four front teeth; one month afterward 1t gets
four more, one In each side of the first pair
IN each jaw. At three months 1t has four
more, hch is all the front temporary teeth
it has. AT nine months the four outside teeth
drop out. and are replaced by permanent in
cisors, and the others are replaced during the
next year. At three years the boar's tusks
appear; at four they begin to lift the lips at
six they project from the mouth, and after
that they grow longer. After two years the
sOw's front teeth have black ring around
the base Of them. and as the age increases the
color of the teeth deepens and they become
worn. As pigs, however. are rarely over two
wears, this test gauge is not often required.
OF recent years, since pigs have been bred so
as to mature more rapidly, the teeth may in.
dictate, as with sheep and cattle, more age
THAI the animals really have. A we'll bred
pig may have all Its permanent front teeth at
Is months, and this more rapid detention has
sometimes led to disputes as to the pigs age.
