Tit For Tat.

At a Staten Island ball one evening a
plain country gentleman had engaged a
pretty coquette for the next dance, but a
gallant yachting captain coming along per-
suaded the young lady to abandon her pre-
vious engagement in favor of himself The
other, overhearing all that had passed,
moved toward card table and sat down to
game of whist. The captain few min
utes afterward stepped up to the young
lady to excuse himself, as he was engaged
to another he had forgotten. The coquette,
much chagrined, approached the whist
table in hopes to secure her first partner
and said, II believe, sir, it is time to take
our places" The old fashioned sutton, in
the act of dividing the pack for the next
dealer, cotrteously replied: mo, madam,
mean to keep my place. When ladies shuttle,

The Portland base ball team did itself
proud yesterday and pleased the four hun
dred people who went out to Deering. It
was game that will be talked about for
many day by those who were fortunate
enough to see it. Our opponents were our
traditional enemies, the Lewstons, with
Johnny Stafford, the $500 month star in
thefpftcher's box. He pitched great game,
but modest Mr.. Daniels, of the Portlands,
completely outclassed him. But two clean
hits We're made off Daniels, the other two
recorded in the score were ''scrathers,' or
bunt hits. Stafford was not far behind for
the Portlands only scored four singles and
a scratch. According to competent base
ball authorities, it was the quickest game on
record In any league for it was played in
one, hour and three minutes by the watch.
The Portlands presented somewhat
patched up team, that is Bradley was
obliged to lay off on account of a sprained
hand caused by Sharrott's collision with
him the day before

who threw to Burns mailing Dolye at
second. Mccormack flied out to Slater, and
then Stafford lined out single to right.
instead of throwing it to the pitcher, Dolan
lost his head and threw the ball over
Charlie Smiths head. Couglin scored on
this inexcusahle error. How did the Port
lands made their runs-very easily. 1t
occurred in the first inning. Garry hit the
hrst ball pitched in the game for single
and Slater did the same. Garry went to
third on the hit and Slater landed on second
on the throw in. Casey hit liner through
Doyle and both Garry and Slater scored

THE vETCH.
Its Value ~ q Forage Plant to Southern
Farmers.

Its Value 10 Forage Plant to Southern
Farmers.
Z If it were not for the difficulty of
saving the seeds of vetch, it would be
one of the most popular of southern
forage plants
1t belongs to the legumes, and the
little pods that bear the seed pop open
as soon rs they get little dry, and
scatter the seed over the ground. On
account of the care involved in saving
seed, there is comparatively little seed
saved, and the price is such as to deter
most farmers from sowing it.
If a crop of vetch is allowed to seed
even once on piece of land, crop can
be made for number OF years in the
same manner that a crop of burr clover
is renewed.
Vetch and burr clover are much alike
in habit, springing up in the autumn,
thriving in the winter, yielding fine
pastures or good moving in the early
spring, making seed and dying down
completely before the hot weather Of
June. The seeds lie in the ground,
with no disposition to sprout until the
fall rains occur. ~
Along in September or October, some-
times as early as August, the seed
germinate after saturating rains, and
where the land is rich good pasture
will result sometimes before Christmas.
Stock should not be turned on to it
until it gets we'll established, and II
the full benefit would be derived from
it, never let stock run on it when
the ground is wet Such q practice
will soon spoil a good pasture. The
reckless pasturing Of soils through all
kinds of weather has much to do with
impoverishing them. Such q practice
should be followed no longer. One
should be particularly careful in the
treatment of winter pasture. The
southern stock-grower and dairyman
will find the vetch q very useful plant
sown along with those previously
commended for their quality and per.
manency. s -t
Like few others, such as burr clover
and white clover, the vetch makes an
excellent "combination" plant. Like
peas and clover, it is helpful to the
soil, is easy to manage and is very nu.
tritious, making the richest of milk and
butter.
If seed could be secured readily and
cheaply, it would always be in order tc
SOW some vetch with the oats, rye and
barley that are sown for early cutting

self, after it dies down in the early
summer, crop of corn can be made on
the land, and in the fall the vetch will
come up again after the corn and re-
new the pasture and be the means oi
supplying humus to the soil. Har'
rowed in with a heavy, sharp tooth
harrow on Bermuda sward in October,
it makes a very gool pasture in the
early spring, and as soon as it dies
down in May or June, the Bermuda

killing weevils.

A correspondent requests the pub
lication of the most approved method
of killing wcevils and other insects in
grain: As this is the season for crib
bing corn, and as much of it has weevils
already, this publication is timely.
Caribou tissulphide is the simplest,
cheapest and most efficient remedy in
such cases yet discovered. 1t is COLOR
less liquid with very offensive odor;
which, however, passes off completely
in short time. 1t readily volatilizes,
and the vapor, which is very deadly to
insect life. is heavier than air and settles
and fills any compartment or bin in the
top of which the liquid is placed. It
may be distributed in saturated rags on
the top of grains in bins, and the gas
will settle throughout the mass. In
large bins, to hasten and equalize the
operation, put quantity of the bi-sul-
phide in the center of the grain by
thrusting in balls of cotton or rags
tied to a stick and saturated with the
liquid. or by means of a gas pipe LOOSE
ly plugged at one end, down which the
liquid may be poured and the plug
then loosened with a rod. In moder-
ately tight bins no further precaution
than to close thetfi well need be taken,
but in open bins it will be necessary
to cover the top with blanket to pres
vent the too rapid dissipation OF the
vapor.-Farm and Ranch.

Scrub horses are as cheap as dirt
that will not sprout peas, and for the

There is a great advantage in fall

don't have to buy meat. There is still

Second crop potatoes for seed are
coming into general use in the north

used they have proved to be better
than the mature tubers.

themselves to wheat, corn, tobacco and
cotton.
-Oleo made from the fat of horses
and mules is said to cost two to three
cents per pound less than that made
from the fat of swine and kline, and it
makes more deceptive substitute for
butter, and one more difficult to detect

The average weight of hogs re-

during August was 200 pounds. For

There is nothing better than clover,

Grass Hogs.

About this time in the year we zee
quotations in the market reports OF
grass hogs and 1t will be noticed
that the prices quoted for these are al
most al vats lower than those for regu.
lar fed stock. This is because the flesh
of hogs fattened out n grass or slop is
not as firm as that of grain-fed animals,
and is not as valuable in the eyes OF
packers or users. 1t does not pay to
send such stock to market one time in
ten, and this year, when the wheat
crop is large and the price is low, 1t is
an absolute waste of good material tc
sell grass-fed hogs. A hog that Is well
fed and in good condition from grass
feeding may be made to put on weight
very rapidly if fed cracked wheat with
little corn, and at present prices ot
hogs there is no way in which greater
price can be realized Or wheat than te
feed it to them. A well-finished lot OF
hogs which has been ID out on wheat
and corn will make the best of pork
and in market Will bring the top prices
