ClemsOn's Victory---CIcmsOn IA, Fui
mans.

Promptly at 4:3O p. m. Friday, April
22d, tho Clemson base ball team, neatly
clad in navy blue trimmed in orange.
took the bat, while Furman's rino clad
in gray and black, took the fold.
For the first thrcc innings it seemed rs
though tho gamc would end with a close
score, but after each man had a round at
tho bat, there was no trouble in finding
DeCamp's balls, and they were easily
placed. 'Tis truo Clemson was defeated
by a score Of s to 2 in Greenvillo Satur-
day. the 10Th, but this was nothing for
Furman to brag upon. Had it not been
for rain on Saturday, April Odd, Clemson
and Furman would have crossed bats for
n third game.
This is Clomson's first year at real base
ball, i. G. they arc bottor organized and
more interest is being taken.
:ris needless to say, that Clemson has
two years at foot ball, and although her
base ball team is light weight, young and
inexperienced, other college teams will
have to hustle for the championship of
tho State.
About 100 people witnessed tho game.
On next Saturday, April 30th, Glenn
sons team will cross bats with Pelzer at
Pelzor. This game Clemson does not
expect to win, but sho will 90 into it
with snap and grit, which has accompa-
MED her throughout her undertakings
heretofore.
On Saturday, May 7th, Clemson and
Wofford will cross bats at Spartanburg.
Saturday, May 14th, Clemson expects
to cross bats with Wofford or Furman at
Clemson. If this game is arranged an OK
cursion is expected over tho Southern
railroad from Spartanburg or Greenvillo
also ono is expected over tho Blue Ridge.
Full particulars concerning this latter
will be published after all arrangements
have been settled upon.

Do Not Do 1t.

That is, do not purchase prize ami
mails at the autumn fairs or anywhere
else for breeding stock. Any animals,
with the possible exception of horses,
which have been kept in the high con-
dition, and petted and pampered, as is
done with prize stock generally exhib-
tied at fairs and expositions, are not
thereafter as good for breeding purpo-
ses as those which have been kept in
proper breeding condition. Many cat
tie have been ruined as breeders by be-
ing kept too close and fat during long
fair season, and pampered, perhaps,
during year or more previously, to fit
them for show animals. The high
priced rams and bears are usually those
that have been winners of many prizes.
Such almost invariably prove to be
getters of inferior stock, and some of
them prove impotent, or incapable of
service. OF two animals in the show
ring, with the exception of dairy cows,
the one that is latest will stand the
best chance of winning in any class.
The previous treatment which causes
the animal to take the prize, is the very
treatment that tends to ruin him or her
as breeder. The boast of the owner
of service ram or boar that he is a
great prize winner, is the worst recon-
mendation that could be bestowed upon
him. practical Farmer.

The Stock Outlook.

Never was the live stock outlook
more promising than it is to-day. The
low prices of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs for several recent years discour-
aged stock breeders, and their holdings
of stock were permitted to run down
until they are at very low ebb. Now,
that everything in the stock line is way
up, those who wish to purchase cannot
find for sale all they want because the
country is mparatively bare of stock
or keeping animals. The barns are full
of fodder and much is stacked out; be-
sides, an immense crop of corn is yet to
be harvested, furnishing grain for fat
tening and fodder for substance. The
war is over now, many millions of dol
lars are going into circulation on its &C.
count, meats are going higher and high
er, and there will be better times gener-
ally. How is the farmer to profit most
by Exchanged conditions? The alert,
thinking ones will at once pick up any
young, thrifty stock of any kind that he
can find at reasonable price, and feed
his cheap fodder and grain to them
with an unsparing hand, with the GER
tainty that the operation will result in
profit; but the unthinking, laggard
farmer will plod along as usual in the
mire caused by his own myopia.-Prac-
tical Farmer.

A Good Time to Try 1t.

We notice that the enterprising pub
fishers of the we'll known Country Cen
tleman are offering that paper for the
rest of the year to new subscribers for
fifty cents. This means that you can
have an opportunity to try this paper
at very low rate and satisfy yourself
as to its value. 1t is one of the finest
agricultural journals which comes to
our office, it has something for every
member of the family and something
solid and substantial. There is one
thing about the Country Gentleman diff
ferent from many good agricultural pa
pers, it does not give you sense of
crowding the valuable reading matter
into the smallest possible space. There
is sense of roominess in its columns,
80 that full justice is done to it's readers
of all classes. Every branch of farm
ing is treated, and ample space is given
to the home and to the farmers table.
Every department is well sustained and
the paper might well be said to contain
everything of interest to farmers. Ad-

Killing Crows in Georgia.

They have novel method of killing
crows in Georgia. Grains of corn are
pierced, and through them is inserted
the hair from the tail of horse. These
grains are scattered in the field where
the crows are in the habit of coming.
When the bird swallows one of these
grains the horse's hair prevents it from
passing into the craw and irritates the
mouth. The bird rolls over, turns on
it's back and scratches to get it out, but
to no purpose. Death results either
from strangulation or, as is frequently
the case, from the wounds inflicted by
the sharp claws. The crows gather
around the victim, but although they
are of an exceedingly suspicious nature
they never attribute the trouble to the
corn.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an in6amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

MONITORS TO BE RETIRED.
First step Towards Reduction of
the Naval establishments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The naval off,
GERS have made up their minds that peace is
at hand and are planning for a reduction of
the naval establishment to a peace basis.
The first step 10 be taken will be the retire
ment of the monitors from active service.
They are uncomfortable craft to live in and
afford the men little opportunity for gen.
eral training. Another matter which has re-
ceived attention is the promotions to be ac-
corded 10 officers who have distir dished
themselves during the hostilities. A step
was made in this direction to-day by the
submission to the President of the recon-
mendations by the secretary of the navy
for the advancement of all of the officers of
SIMPSONS fleet who distinguished them
selves. 1t was announced some time ago
that a board would be appointed to decide
on all promotions TO be recommended, but
for some reason this plan seems to have
been abandoned as far as some of the chief
officers were concerned.
