The Clinton Club bowled to success in
both games of the local league series with
the Lafayettes at Smiths alleys. 1t was
a regular walk over for the CIintons in
the first game, but the second was more
even and the home team had to do some
high rolling on the final frames to pull
out It was a big help to the Clintons,
whose percentage is larger and the team
is close up for the second prize. The
season is nearing an end and with only
three more series of games to bowl the
Doolittles, Van Bergens and Clintons are
almost on a level for the second prize n
1T will need all the remaining games to
decide the winner. The Clintons have
only one hard series to- bowl, while the
Van Bergens and Doolittles must come
together on the Van Bergen alleys and a
defeat to either team will put them ont
of the contest as far as prize winning
goes. In the bowling last night Archie
Duke reached a good record on the first,
but Ed HUMPHREYS was in the lead with
22 in the second. For Lafayette Richter
had the highest score. The totals were:-

LOSSES IN THE WAR.
LincoInss Terse Remark Concerning
ReinfOreemeDss.

While at the mess table taking our
last meal before starting upon the march
to the James on the evening of the
twelfth, the conversation turned upon the
losses which had occurred and the REIN
forcements which had been received up
to that time. The figures then known
did not differ much from those contained
in the accurate official reports afterward
compiled. From the opening of the cam
paign May A, to the movement across
the James, June u, the total casualties
in the Army of the Potomac, including
Sheridan's cavalry and Burnside's com
mand, had been:-Ki1led, 7,621; wounded,
IS, $780,; captured or missing. 1896; total,
81, 1926. The services of all the men in
Guided i'll these figures We're not, how
ever, permanently lost to the army. A
number of them were prisoners who were
afterward exchanged. and many had been
only slightly wounded, and were soon
ready for duty again. Some were doubt
less counted more than once, as a sol
der who was wounded in a battle twice,
and afterward killed, may ave been
counted three times in making up the list
of casualties, whereas the army had real
~ lost but one man.
The losses of the enemy had never been
as~certained. No precise information on
the subject has been discovered, and not
even a general statement can be made of
his casualties: In a few Of the battles
of this campaign his losses were greater
than the losses suffered by the Union
troops; in the greater part Of the bat
ties they were less. Our reinforcementS
amounted to just about the same as
the losses. It was estimated from the
best sources. Of information that Lee had
also received reinforcements equal to his
losses. so that the armies were now Of
about the same size as when the cam
paign began.
All the achievements organized in the
North and reported as on their way to
the front did not reach us. There was 2
good deal of truth to the. remark
ported to nave been made by Mr..
eom:@'We get a large body of
forcements together, and start Their
the front; but after ~deducting the
the deserters, the ~stragglers, n the
charged, the numbers. seriously dimini
by the time they reach their destination.
It's like trying to hovel ftas across a
barnyard; you don't get 'em all there

Poetry ana Mathematics.

It is often the case. remarks It'd Bits.
that great mathematical minds are In
capable of approaching poetry. There
was once a mathematical tutor in one
of our great universities who was IN the
habit of Boosting that he neither knew
nor cared to know anything about poets
or poetry, and considered it all "a lot of
impractical rot.
A certain brother tutor was very
anxious to convert him to- the admira-
ton of fine poetry. and by way of ac-
complishing this gave him the famous
s'Charge of the Light Brigade to read.
The mathematician took il up and be-
gan to read aloud. thus;
Half d league. half d league. half a
league then he banged the book down,
exclaiming impatiently, We'll. If the
fool meant a league n a half, Why on
earth didn't he say SOP"

FARMING AS a BUSINESS.
How 1t should BE Managed to Pay
Wafl -

That the question is farming a business
is answered in the negative by some, or
If not spoken in words, is attested by
their actions. is a well known truth to
any who may nave observed how some
men do farming.
They apparently are of the opinion that
the reason why they live on a farm is be-
ceuse an over-ruling fate CHANGED to
place them there, and if they exc out an
existence they are doing about as well
as could be expected of them.
The idea of increasing the fertility. and
produetiveness of their farms, improving
the grade of their live stock, keeping the
farm buildings in good repair, originating
and adding to the bank account, has not
yet dawned upon them. They fail to real
ize that farming is a business, and should
be conducted the same as any other bust
ness, on sound principles.
Every item of expense should be care
fully noted and recorded and the amount
for the year summed Up. How many
farmers know how much it costs them
for a year to run their farms? or the
amount it costs them to live? or what
their farms produce? or the amount of
everything sold during the year? These
and other items are essential to the farm
er if he would run things systematically
and know at the years close whether
he has made more than a living, or
whether he has increased his debt.
The aim of every farmer should be to
get from his land and stock as much as
| possible of what he needs for his living.
BY a little management he will be able
to get along without buying much for his
table
His poultry yard will furnish eggs and
fresh meat during almost every month.
If he has a maple grove on the farm he
can readily obtain his annual supply OF
sugar. His garden and orchard should
furnish him with fresh vegetables and
berries during the summer a gener-
Gus quantity canned to last until they
grow again.
But some will say, it does not pay TO
grow your own fruit or make maple
sugar, that these things are SO cheap.
This may be true; but unless something
else is raised which when sold will fur
nish the money, how will they be bought?
The trouble is with some that talk this
way, they neither grow these requisites,
or an equivalent with which to buy them.
The great secret for many small farm
| ers is to see how few things they will
need to buy in order to supply their tables
or feed their stock. When they have
solved this problem, they are on the road
to prosperity.
Again, some men are shortsighted
| enough to believe that the most they can
get from the land without making a suit
able return the better. They forget hat
the and must in some way be Kept in
good condition and it's fertility increased,
if they would be successful farmers.
How to do this they have never thought
or studied. By a system of crop rotation.
including clover, they would be enabled
to do this, thus making their farms more
valuable every wear. and giving them
good dividends on the foresight and labor
J employed.

SECOND GAME-CLINToN.

The Clio and Mantle Wheelmen rolled
two games in the Jersey City League last
last night on the st. Boniface Hall alleys,
the home OF the Nantes. The latter
were most effective in their first game
and won by so pins. They rolled less
steadily in the other and although the
team held the Clos for the first three
frames they broke badly and the team
from Bergen went to the front and
stayed there until the close, winning ont
with a margin of IA pins. The Nantes
made a strong finish and from a lead of
Al pins on the ninth cut into it badly
and stood a chance to win a Andy
Wright doubled. The result was a stand
off and as the teams are hot rivals no
apparent advantage was cached. For the
home team George Dittmar made a fine
record in both games. Herman Heye was
the leader with 1872 for Clio. The score:-
