WICKET AND HOW IT WAS
PLAYED BY OUR SIRES.
A New England Version of Cricket
Which Is Now Nothing More Than
a Memory-Implements and Rules of
the Long Neglected Sport.

Many a New England village unto
this day contains it's little knot Of gray
boards who glance back longingly and
lovingly on the old game of cricket.
They look aSkance at modern baseball,
deride it's accuracies of play and what
it's votaries call it's science" talk slight
ingly of it's intricate code of rules, and
berate it's professionalism. Blu it re
mains just as true that ''wicket,' the
game these old mOurnerS eXtOl, is now
substantially memory and nothing
more. Here and there in some back
country town it may possibly be played
betimes, and there is one factory town
in Connecticut, which used to be famous
it's strong wicket team, where few
devotees still affect it. But as Il com
mon and recognized yankee sport it has
passed away.
Wicket, according to the New York
Evening Post, was English cricket yam
keefied and made popular-cricket with
much of it's science extracted but still
with a good deal Of science left in.
For the narrow, upright wicket of the
English game were substituted two
blocks, say four inches high, and six
feet of inch-square stick. The stick
was laid upon the two blocks and form
ed the wicket, differing thus from that
of the English national ball game as a
hugs target differs from it's own bulls
eye Wide was this yankee wicket and
correspondingly easy to hit. But it was
hard to defend, so the striker was armed
with an immense pudding-stick of bat.
Take huge wooden spoon, fiatten out
it's bowl, round off the handle with a
knob, and finally split the bowl in half,
lengthwise, and we have pretty close
imitation of the old yankee wicket bat,
though sometimes the full oval at the
batting end was left intact. This bat
was of Eastwood and some two inches
thick, varying, however, in length, di-
ameter and weight to suit the player.
The ball was a wonder even in those
days, and would be a double wonder
now. Five or even six inches in diane
ter, the great spheroid almost suggested
a football in size. It's covering was calf
skin sewed in quarterings by the most
eligible country shoemaker. Its vitals
were composite, but chiefly yarn or
Irvine with a leaden bullet or small,
solid rubber ball at the center. The
size, composition and weight of the ball
were no small theme OF contention at
matches and between competing clubs,
for or that point, as on most others
of the democratic game of wicket, there
was no written law. A club used to a
light ball and bats to correspond might
team whose ball was heavy. The point
was Of especial moment in the bowling,
and many a match Of wicket that might
otherwise have passed in friendly emu
lation began in dispute and ended in
hot anger simply because one OF the

He claims to have used nothing but
''old methods" and his houses were not
as warm as they should have been to
secure the best results with such tender
breeds as Leghorns. 1t shows, how
ever, that the egg business, conducted
as a business, can be made to pay, and
pay well at that.

grief for the lost than jealousy for the
living?
His life was emphatically a march on
ward. He could die, but he could not
stagnate; and stagnation seemed to
have come to him tonight as he told
himself Doune was first, would always
be first, in the child's heart And if
so, then, no matter what it cost him,
he would leave her, let her cling to
Doune, make him her sole idol; for
himself, no second place in any human
heart would he accept.

But for the first lime since those
dimpled arms had stolen round his neck
Mr. Eyre unloosened them, and set
her down, his jealous soul for the first
time realizing that he possessed only
a half share, not the whole Of her heart
and that DOUne had got three years

From that moment the silent struggle

Yet his wife had been able to love,

powers or comprehension of a Mr.. Eyre.

1t is too late for the best good of
either sheep or wool to defer sbearins
until after the busy spring work is
over. 1t used to be done because it
was thought necessary to wash the
wool on the sleeps back. This is rare
ly done now. If the sheep have plenty
OF straw for bedding during the winter,
their wool will be freer from dirt in
April without washing than it can be
made in June with washing, as gener-
ally done, and the sheep allowed to
dry the fleece on it's own back.

The practice of wetting the hands
with milk is Il nasty one, and is, more
over, much more likely to make cows
teats sore than is milking dry. Both
bag and teats should be brushed or WHIP

that are usually found on cow after
she has laid down all night. If any of
these get into the milk pail no after

Few farmers finish cleaning their barn
yard every spring. They stop the work
because the manue is scattered and
hard to get at often, too because the
season is so late that probably not
enough rain will fall to give the manure
its best effect. Yet these bottom de-
posits, accommodating year after year,
are often much richer per load than
is the coarser and more bulky manure
Which can SO easily be loaded on the
wagon, yet which in dry seasons often
does more harm than good.

There is no loss of available plant
food from manure thinly spread, be-
cause under such conditions there is
scarcely any fermentation. But there
is an injury to effectiveness of manure
that has dried through, particularly if
II is plowed under while in this con-
dluon. The better way is to spread
the manure as evenly as possible, and
then pass a roller over it, pressing
1t down close to the soil. A smoothing
harrow with reversed teeth presses
down even better than the roll, and il
also spreads and pulverizes the manure

We used to know careful farmers who

of it. Rock salt is best. Leave large

WHAT JUSTIN MCCARTHY SAYS.
rtsh-Amertcans Asked to Aid In
Keeping Up the Fight.

The 1rish-American Federation of Ameri-
ca has received the following cable dispatch
from Justin Mccarthy in London:
The rejection Of the home rule bill by the
house Of lords opens a new chapter in the
struggle for Irish liberty. On the other
side. we, the elected represen ta.ives of the
people, the sympathies of the British de-
mocracy, and the unconquerabe spirit of
the Irish race; on the other side is n heredi-
tary and irresponsible chamber, concen trait
ing in its ranks all that is worst in English
prejudice. wealth, and arrogance. The re-
suit Is not doubtful. The house of lords
made similar stand against every great
reform sent up to them by the house of
commons. In the long run, progress and
the peoples will have invariably triumphed
and the insolence of the privileged classes
has been chastised. But the struggle will
be bitter one. We have to look to our
faithful countrymen in America for the
means of sustaining our party through the
incessant sacrifices imposed upon them. and
OF carrying on an active campaign in Eng
Hsh constituencies against the insolent
enemies of Irish liberty"
