These are lined with tin. pail or an
earthern pot. or with iron. They ale
placed in some smooth, level plot of
ground. This plot is called the quitting
Green, y because it's smoothness aids in
putting the ball into the hole. Eighteen
of these holes constitute the average num-
ber, or if the links are not extensive
enough, there may be nine holes and the
course played over twice.
| The number of players may vary from
| two to twenty, or as many as can conve-
niently play. The ball, which is about
an inch and half in diameter, is placed
on little elevation of earth behind the
first hole. This is called the "tee - The
object is to drive it into the next hole
with as few strokes of the club as possi-
lbe. A fair strong stroke may send the
ball 100 yards from the first tee towards
the second hole. Whoever gets the ball
into the hole with the fewest strokes wins
the hole Every time you strike at the
ball, whether you hit it or not, counts
as stroke. Of course as you get close to
the hole it may require number of easy
strokes, if you are not skillful, before you
can drive the ball into the hole And in
the intervening country if you should
have the ball fall into "hazard, -
which means any rough or swampy or
grassy or bushy place, or any encum-
brance, it might take many strokes to get
it out
Various kinds of clubs are used to fa-
cilitate the driving of the ball in bad
places. One club is so shaped that its
stroke may lift the ball into the air.

the course the ball must be driven across
the highway, and then over the "Plains
of Abraham" so-called. The course is
about mile and a half long, and there
are twelve holes. Some very good playing
has already been done. On one occa sion
Dean Sills made all twelve holes in SO
strokes, an average of about seven strokes
to a hole, which, when you stop to think
of the smallness of the ball and the hole
and the roughness of the country, is not
SO easily accomplished as one might

How They Manage to Sell the Best and
Also Feed the Best.
One of the few articles which the ex-
treme LGrtheast exports is hay and nat
urally considerable care is given to this
crop. The old saying, "You cannot
have your cake and eat it too," is nulli-
fed in the case of the hay CROP accord
ing to a Maine correspondent, who
writes as follows to Rural New Yorker:
We cater to the Boston market, to
which we send our long, coarse timo-
thy. The best to feed is the finer tex
lures, superior for cows and better than
the coarse for horses, SO we sell the best
and feed the best The common rotation
is grain, with occasionally hoed crop
followed by grain and grass. The more
progressive farmers sow the mixed
grasses and value clover at its true high
value. All land, to grow clover and
timothy, must. be manured or fertilized,
and while a few keep up the grass after
it begins to run out, with plaster or
top dressing Of manure, the custom is
to let the grass run down pretty fine
and thin, then break up and reseed.
Most Of our land is now moved by
the machine. The moment it is fairly
dry it goes into the barn. In my own
practice after getting the hay down, and
usually it is coming down in good
weather at all times Of day SO as to keep
enough on hand for the loading crew.. it
is raked into windrows after 8 D. M
and left that way in good weather till
about 9 the next morning. If rain
threatens, it is put into tumbles. After
8 the rake is again taken out, and if the
windrows arc quite heavy they are turn
ed over with it. I have learned that the
morning air plays as important part
III curing hay as the sun, and that hay.
when fairly dry, dries out very rapidly
in the windrow, and, what is better, re-
tains its color and aroma.
Much of the hay is not turned at all,
but the rake is run along the windrow
and the hay punched an hour or two be-
fore it is loaded All these turnings
with the rake are more thorough than
they can be done by hand.
Extra care is necessary and close
watching that no damp locks get into
the NOW to start the mass to heating.
The rake is my mainstay. 1t takes the
place of the tedder. I can proftably keep
one or two Of them going about all the
time after 8 OF 10 in the morning. The
loader do not use. It is easy enough to
get the hay on, while the horse fork and
carrier take it off and stow it away.
Old ground, which has been in hay
some years, is moved first, and furnishes
a fine quality of hay when early cut. By
the time the timothy is out Of its first
bloom that is reached, and we expect to
close the haying season about July 30 to
25.

pioneers golf club was formed in this
city in the latter part of last month, with
about 40 members, including both ladies
and gentlemen. Dean Sills is the presi-

secretary, and the executive committee
consists Of Mrs Charles Payson, Miss

man and Mr.. T. G. Woodbury..
Suitable grounds, or links, were Sc
cured near Fort Preble on the shore Of
Cape Elizabeth. Some of the officers at
the fort are members of the club. They
have played quite a good deal already and
intend to play great deal more. Satur-
day is the clubs field day, when most of
the playing is done. The game, briefly,
consists in knocking a small, hard and
solid gutta percha ball over the open
country with suitable clubs The links
is the term applied to this open country,
which should be three, and may be five

THE CLEEK.
Considered the longest driver among
the iron clubs; used when playing bali
out OF long grass or sandy soil and over
rough ground Also used on putting
green when ball is in a slight cavity.
LOFTING IRON.
Name indicates its use; is princinallv
used when an obstruction has to be played
over near the putting green. The club,
owing to its peculiar formation, gives a
greater elevation to the ball, but with a
reversed twist, SO that the ball stops al
most when it falls.
In regard to the links, they should be
OF undulating character and should
abound in hazards, - that is, encum-
brances, such as sand pits, clumps o
bushes, long grass, roads, water, etc.
The following are the terms used in
describing the game:
Singles-Two persons playing one
against the other; each person having
ball
Foursomes- persons playing
against the other two, the partners play
ing alternate strokes; each side having
their own ball.
Three, Four, Five Ball Matches-A
crack player will play his ball against the
best of the balls of two or more players.
Score Playa number enter for compe-
tition and travel in pairs, scoring for
each other, the winner being the one tax
ing the fewest number of strokes in the
course agreed upon.

been for centuries the national game of

daily in public favor. To play the game
properly requires a vast amount Of
prompt and careful Judgment and the
constant exercise of legs, arms and brains,
for the game is series of perpetual

had disappeared before her return, and
hence the suit. She recovered verdict
