name, horse nettle, botanical Solanum
Carolinense, does not indicate that this
weed is closely related to the cultivated
potato, but the botanical name of the
genus shows close relationship. An eN-
animation of the flowers shows they
much resemble those of the potato, be-
ing blush or whitish in color. The
berry, commonly called the seed, also
resembles that formed on the potato,
The leaves have large prickles ON the
midrib and some of the larger lateral
ribs. They are also slightly hairy. The
stem is bcset with numerous stout
prickles. Many of the related plants
of this genus are ANNALS, but
horse nettle is a deep-rooted peren-
NAL, it's roots often extending three
feet or more into the soil.
This fact makes 1t very tenacious
weed, very difficult to exterminate. For
this reason the weed grows in dense
patches, which are carefully avoided
by stock in pastures. l would advise
blowing the land, allowing none of the
leaves to appear. The plant should be
kept down the succeeding year. Plow
the ground again next summer. Sow
thicllly with rye and keep watch of the
nettle, allowing none to grow. Careful
work for two seasons should remove it

THE PROFESSORS RIDE.

IT Wasn't as Much Fun for the Boys as
They Thought 1t Would BE.
The late Prof. w. II. Harrison, who
for many years was at the head of
popular boys school in Amelia county,
Va, was much loved and respected 10y
his many pupils, and had a rare faculty
for managing them. He wasn't for
ever nagging us, but, as some of us
learned by experience, he let the pun
ishment fit the crime" So said one of
his former pupils, now prominent
lawyer in Richmond; and then he re-
lated the following story:
The professor was accustomed to
take a drive every sunny afternoon
in heavy, old-fashioned coach drawn
by large gray horse. One day, shortly
after he had returned from his drive,
half dozen of the boys espied coach
standing in the driveway, where it had
been left temporarily, and were seized
with the idea that it would be great
sport to secrete it.
Chuckling softly among themselves,
they stole near to make sure that TIE
colored driver was busted with the
horses inside the stable. Then they
took hold of the thills, three on one
side and three on the other, and drew
the coach out of the grounds and down
long hill into pine grove.
Wont the old Goat be puzzled q
know where his coach is?" said one fel.
low, with laugh in which the Others
joined.
"Old Goat" was term of affectionatt
familiarity which the boys applied tc
the professor behind his back, anc
which really savored nothing of dis
respect.
The roguish youths INDUCED il
Jokes and merriment as they tnggec
the coach into a position out of which
it would be difficult to remove it. Thi'
they had just accomplished when, t'

In regard to baling hay direct from

says: So much depends upon the loca-
ton that it is impossible to give an an

into detail In this climate and latitude
our experience has been that hay shoald
not be baled until it has gone through
the "sweat," although, if intended to be
used without much delay, it might be
very loosely baled after it had been well
sun-cured. In Texas and in some of
the southern portions of the United
States, it may be baled very satisfac'
torily direct from the meadow. In
South America, particularly in the Ar
gentine Republic, users of our machines
bale their alfalfa while it is almost
green, without apparent injury. We
are quite sure, however, that such a
course could not be pursued with any
but disastrous results in this climate
and latitude of the United States, as the
hay would be inclined to mold.

RLlNn BOYS PLAY BALL.
Their Game Differs in Many Details from
the Regular One.

Their Game Differs In Many Details from |
the Regular One.
Prof Il. B. Huntoon, of the Kentucky |
school, describing baseball among the |
blind, says: The baseball game differs,
of course, in many of its details from the
regular games. The diamond is not of
regulation size, but it is of regulation
form. The distance between bases is
but 40 feet. The fielders are stationed
the same as in the National league game,
with the exception that there is right
shortstop, thus making ten men to a
side. In the outfield, in public games,
there is an unlimited number of players,
each taking turn at the bat, first NOV
ing up one position whenever a bats
man is put out.
The catcher sits on the ground, well
back from the home plate, and, to guard
against injury, he wears mask and
chest protector. His position is such
that when a pitcher delivers ball it
strikes the ground just between the
knees and is taken on the short bound.
The batsman takes his position at
the plate with heavy fiat bat, some
what like those used in cricket. The
umpire, who must be a man of unim-
paired vision, calls upon the pitcher to
get ready, and then clearly sings out:
Zone, two, three!" At the word three
the pitcher must Loyalty deliver the
ball. He pitches in the slow, underhand
way peculiar to the game 25 or 30 years
ago, the idea being to deliver ball that
can be hit by the batsman, who, stand
ing there in the darkness, with sharp
cned sense of hearing and a wonderful
conception of the time that must
elapse before the ball reaches him, is
prepared to strike.
If the batsman should miss the ball
bounces into the catcher's lap, and is
returned to the pitcher by single toss
with a precision that is wonderful
When the ball il batted the umpire calls
out quickly to the fielder in whose di-
rection it is travelling, and he, guided
by sense of hearing, either catches
the ball or follows it in its course
through the grass. Six strikes are an
out. In fielding any number of bounds
are permitted. If the batted ball is {
hot liner and travelling straight fol
an infelder's head, the umpire shouts
, a warning, and in such cases the player
ducks or falls to the tuft.
1t is possible, in fact the ball is fre
quently tielded to first in time to put ou
! the runner. When throwing to frs
, the assisting player, who is guided b!
the voice of the batsman, calculate
the distance with nicely and throws tn,
ball so that it strikes the ground fev
yards in front of the batsman. Th
latter hears it coming and usually get
it without further assistance. Running

THE PROFESSOR LOOKED OUT.

put his head out of the coach window,
his eyes twinkling, and said, in his
dignified, slow way:
"Well, boys, you've had the fun of
hauling me down here, and now must
request you to haul me back again"
Smiles fed, faces grew long, and the
boys stood aghast.
"All-right-sir," stammered one.
The professor settled back on the
cushions, resumed the book which he
had been quietly reading when the
'fun" began, and the boys proceeded
TO drag the coach back to the grounds.
How they worked! The hill was
never before half so long nor half so
steep, but after almost an hour of
putting and perspiration the joo WAS
done.
Then Prof. Harrison opened the
coach door. and, descending, said, with
marked courtesy: 'I thank you for my
ride; 1 hope You have enjoyed it as
much as have"
"Yes, SIR" answered one of the boys
who knew not what else to say, and
felt that some response was called for.
There the matter ended, so far as
the professor was concerned, for he
never alluded to it again. The culprits
on their part resolved never to mcn-
ton it, but it was too good story 70

FISH EATING GRASS.
Oregon Farmer Claims That Carp Are
Denuding His Meadows.


Denuding His Meadows.
A rancher whose place is on the bot
tom along the Willamette slough, be-
low Holbrook Station. was in the city
the other day to find out whether he
had recourse to the United States fish
commission for the introduction OF
carp into the rivers of this section.
He says these fish are destroying his
meadows by eating his grass and grub
bing up the roots. AS the water over
flows his meadow the carp follow 1t
up in thousands, the small ones weigh
ing about three pounds pushing their
way up where the water is only three
inches or so in depth and clearing off
all vegetation, so that when the water
recedes he will have mud flats in place
Of meadows.
He says that while looking at the fish
eating mis- grass he got so mad that he
took off his shoes and stockings and
went out into the shallow water and
attacked them with hoe. He slashed
q lot of them in two, but when the drove
became alarmed and made for deeI
water they bumped their noses against
his shins and came near knocking hin
off his feet, and his ankles are blacl
and blue from the humping he got
AS for driving the carp away, he says
he might as well have tried to sweeI

MULES ARE PROFITABLE.
Superior to Horses in All Kinds of Or
dinary Farm Work.

Superior to Horses in All Kinds of Or
binary Farm Work.
There can be no question of the SUI
periority of mules over horses in all
kinds of farm work in this country,
says the Canton (AIiss.) Times. This
is the verdict of all practical success
full farmers. 1t is useless for us to di-
late on this subject, for it is fact too
well established to admit of discussion.
Our contemporary says: The horse is
being rapidly displaced by electricity,
bicycles and steam, and his production
must necessarily be restricted, as but
few, and those of the finest and for
special use, will be required in the near
future.
The mule. however, will for an un-
known time in the future be required
for farm work, which is the most eN-
tersive of all productive industries, and
must bring remunerative prices. 1t has
always appeared to us that it would be
a profitable business. The prejudice
against home raised stock, so unfound-
ed, has been one impediment due, how
ever, in great measure to the want OF
proper production of first-class stock,
from the same sectional causes which
hold us back in so many other indus
tries, viz, want of thorough business
care of production, and habits of gentle
manly leisure.
The south has paid enough for i'm
ported mules in the last 30 years tc
buy every farm in every southern state

Canaries Which Afford Lots of Fun to

Canaries Which Afford Lots of Fun to
New York Children.
In the big window of fashionable
barber's shop uptown there are several
queerly made bird cages, in which live
the yellowest of yellow canaries. At
tached to each of the cages, and pro-
jecting from their sides, are fiat pieces
of brass, on which slide up and down
tiny little wagons filled with seed.
When the birds need meal, they pull
a string fastened to the fronts of these
little carts, and drag them up the in
clined brass plane within reach. After
the canaries have had their fill they let
go the cords. and the small carts slide
back to their buffers, outside the cage.
When water is needed the birds are
compelled to pull on long cord, which
