BASE BALL,
Colliery Teams try Conclusions on
the Diamond.


A return game of base ball was played at
the trott ng park between the Shenandoah
colliery clerks and a combination from
Mahanoy City and st. Nicholas in which
the combination YVES sadly left. The play
of Neiman, when he received his base on
balls was one of the features of the game,
especially when the pitcher made q wild
throw to catch him mapping, on which
Neiman tried to score a home run, but
when he arrived at third base he was un
able to find the bag and Captain Reese, of
the home team, was obliged to 90 into the
field and find for him. The fielding of
o Hara, Gebhart and Kerslake reminded
one of man going after something he
did not want. Reeves, who played second
for the home team, would be more success
full as an orator than base ball player.

Reese and W. Trezise formed the Shen-
sndoah battery. Conners and Edwards
played duet at right field and let the left
fielder do all the work. but Connor, who
tips the beam at 240 pounds, redeemed him
self by his terrific batting. j. TIezise and
DeLong formed the visiting battery and
Mahaney, Gstely and Trsgellis held down
their bases. Their work was so effective
they had to be taken over the field at the
end of each inning. The score was l8 TO
10 in favor of Shenandoah.
Delano defeated Lost Creek on Saturday
by a score of II to and Lost Creek suf-

The soap man has not struck this town
yet but two slick young men bamboozled
a number of our people recently on a
German magazine. They solicited sub

completing payments to the amount of
four dollars, to throw in a fifteen dollar
musical instrument. The young men re-
msined here until number of people paid
them three dollars and then they skipped.
There is no sympathy for the dupes. If
they would patronize the home merchants
they would suffer less.

and wet, while with spring seeding in

the spring seeding be deferred until
after the ground is plowed, it is then
too late. The dissolving frosts and
spring rains have then passed, and the
dry, hot weather will kill the tender
grass plants before they get fairly
rooted. This is the reason why g1as
seed never takes well with oats, for
oat ground is usually plowed in the
spring after most of the spring rains
have passed, but if the ground for oats
be plowed In the fall and the oats with
the grass seed be sown right after the
first snow, the grass seed will be sure
to take even with the oats. Why? Be-
cause the grass seed will then have suf-
ficient moisture to give it root before
the spring drought sets in.

A Practical Question.

Why is one farmer more prosperous
than another? Why is one surrounded
with comforts, while another with ap-
parently similar opportunities lam
guishes on the confines of privation?
Why is it that one has sleek cattle,
mettlesome horses, fat hogs, full cribs
and smokehouse and happy family,
while his nearest neighbor has nothing
of that sort? 1t is because one knows
his businesses better, and consequently
does it better than the other. This is
evident, because if he did not know how
to farm better he could not farm bet
er, and would have his nose beside that
of his neighbor applied to the periphery
of the grindstone. If things are not as
they shoul be, what ought to be done
about it? This is an important practi-
cal question, and is worthy of the atten-
tion of every man who has the good of
the country at heart-not farmers alone,
though they be most directly interested,
for every body is interested in the well.
fare of farmers. They may think they

that of any one else, hut they are mis-

Farming as u Business.

Farming always was, is, and always
will be the best business under the sun,
when the right man under favorable cir
cumstances embarks in it. 1t is not a
business in which one can become ''sud-
denly and violently stricken" with super
abundant wealth, but it is one in which
liberty in its fullest sense, and plenty in
its amplitude may be realized and
enjoyed. If there We're no brief
less lawyers, no seedy doctors,
no poverty-laden mechanics and Ia
borers then one might be discouraged
with the fact that there are many ex-
ceedingly poor farmers, who fail to
make the two ends of the year meet.
But the poor we have always" with us,
and this class can never by any system
OF laws, political or social, be entirely
done away with-at least during this
life. We may, however. reduce their
numbers and ameliorate, : to some extent,
the condition of the remainder. This
good work, however, must be done by
the farmers themselves, and they seem
recently to have caught on to this fact.
Let them not turn it loose.-Texas Farm
and Ranch.

HERE AND THERE.

One hired hand may be worth twice
the wages of another on account of his
treatment of the horses. A careful
horseman is also generally careful about
everything else.
"A farmer at Bridgehampton, J.. l.,
lately harvested $500 bushels of turnips
from seven-acre field-the second crop

Beginners with sheep are advised by
the Iowa Homestead to hasten slowly,

clusion that dogs tortured to death or

Clover hay is a very nitrogenous
food, and is also rich in mineral matter.
There is no hay that can equal it for
cGws that are in full flow of milk, and
It is also excellent for growing stock.
All kinds of hay may be fed to advant-
age at any season of the year, but clover
is the best of all.
There is no more certainly profit

With ensilage or hay and roots a
half pint of grain per day for sheep is
enough to begin on, and this should be
a mixture of oats and corn or oats and

used, but the hulls of oats are so much
like hay that they serve to prevent un-
favorable results at the start.

Of the similar circumstances? To pro-

pedagogues, lecturers and writers.
Any object or thing cognizable by the

before l shall acquire a competent
knowledge of it," If the agriculture of
ancient Rome presented such a field for
study to Columella, how ought we to
view it who boast of superior appreci-
alton of the fact that knowledge is
power?" We need more teachers. This
is true. But a greater need is that of
pupils, eager to learn. When we con-
sider the difficulties that have been sur
mounted by seekers after knowledge in
every department of life, we are struck
with wonder at the insignifcance of the
obstacles that suffice to keep whole gem
erations of men in ignorance of matters
most nearly concerning their temporal
welfare. A new energy must be in
fused into the generation now at the
threshold of active life. Teaching, both
by precept and example, must be car

They must be taught not only to be
teachers, but to be pupils. Knowledge
does not go seeking for Judgement,
but to be won, must be wooed with ardor.

SOWING GRASS SEED.

Experience Teaches That EARLY Spring 1,
the Rest Time to Sow 1t.
It is the practice of many to SOW
timothy seed in the fall, and clover
seed in the spring; but have found il
best to sow all grass seed of every kind
early in the spring, while the snow does
not injure the seed, but helps it to get
an early start, says John E. Van Etten,
in Practical Farmer. Strictly the best
of all times to seed would be when
nature sows; that is, each kind of seed
when it is ripe, and before it dries, but
the conditions will not permit. There
is then no seed-bed prepared. Grass is
a very active plant, but only so in wet
and warm weather. This gives the
hint when to sow. In the fall nature
has suspended nearly all activity in the
grass plant. Whatever is then put in
the ground has to fight for bare ex-
istence, and if overtaken by drought is
sure to succumb. Strawberries are a
species of grass, but none of us ever
venture to transplant them after Au-
gust, because after that time there is
not activity enough in the nature of the
plant to secure it against the winter.
So with all of the staple grasses. Like
the deciduous trees, they are then dis
posed to store their sap-food in their
roots under ground, and, like the bears,
hibernate, or go to sleep for the winter,
and little growth can then be secured,
unless the fall should be wet, of which
there is no certainty. But in the early
spring it is otherwise. Then there is
no uncertainty. As early as March the
sap begins to flow in the roots of the
grasses, and then they are awakened
from their long sleep. Now, If at this
time the grass seed be sown, every seed
will grow, especially if sown on the
snow. for the dampness of the snow will
swell the seed without injuring it, and
just as soon as the snow is gone it will
spring into life, and will then be nursed
by the spring rains beyond danger, when
the spring drought comes ON. No har-
rowing is then required, for the melting
of the snow, dissolving frost and the
early spring rains win sufficiently cover
the seed. 1 made fine test last
year. had thirty acres to seed
all in one lot. 1t was all
plowed early in September. About
the middle of September seeded
half of it with timothy, clover and or
chard grass, and carefully narrowed
and rolled it. On the 21st day of March
I seeded the other half with same
kinds of seed. sowing it broadcast ON
the snow. Now for the result. The
fifteen acres which ] so carefully
seeded in the fall were an entire failure,
while the fifteen acres which seeded
On the snow were grand success. In
the spring seeding the timothy and
clover and orchard grass stand as thick
as they can, while in the fall seeding
there is only here and there a stem. The
want of snow last winter to cover the
fall seeding may have, and probably
had, some influence, but all my obser-
vation and experience has been in favor
