The Vinitas have accepted the
offer of the Aurora, Mo-, club for
three games-Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday In this match our
boys are "tackling" an unknown
quantity, whose prowess they
have had no means of sizing up.
1t is therefore safe to assume that
the strongest club possible will be
made up and that they will do their
best from the passage of the first
ball.

at Quincy, ILL.,, while in the Bur-

rection OF the trainmen, went across
the tracks to hydrant to get
water for the stock in his care,
and was struck by switch engine.
Young Martin went to him imme-
diately after he was struck and
the railroad employees told him to
ask Mr.. Athey to make state
ment as to how the accident oc-
CURED. Athey then stated that
1.-The engine struck him from the
rear without ringing the bell. An
ambulance and surgeons were
ordered and the wounded man
carried to Blessing Hospital where

out delay. James Martin was di-
rected to 60 forward with the

l'ur the Farmer


In all of the older states the tendency
to seed down the land to grass has been
notable one for many years, says the
Denver Farm and Field. Should the
man who has lived for generation
west of the Mississippi return To the
home OF his ancestors in some state
farther east he will not unlikely 90
surprised 10 find that the small farm,
which is perchance remembered as
closely cultivated and moderately pro-
ductiye homestead, whereon little or
everything was produced, has been
bought up by the owner of grass farm
near by and that now many OF the
fences are gone, the buildings either
removed or in ruins and that grass Tor
pasturage and grass for hay is the lead
ing feature, possibly the exclusive crop.
There are several reasons for this I'M
poverished land recuperates when In
grass This is especially true If part
of the pasturage is IA clover. In these
days of low prices the landowner Is
often at loss as TO method OF farm
ing which will pay expenses TO In
crease the product without increasing
the expense or to decrease the expense
more than the decrease in value OF the
product is often found necessity The
man who cannot do one or the other OF
these things is likely 10 want to sell
out to the man who can or To find him
self falling behind and sold out. After
land has been seeded To grass the ex-
pense is only the harvesting until re-
] seeding is necessary If pastured, the
expense of harvesting Is nearly elimi-
mated The value Of the product may be
less than when cultivated crops are
produced. but the expense is far less,
SO that if there are margins of profit in
either case those of the grass farmer
have greatly exceeded those of the grain
farmer.
In much Of the west the possibility
of seeding land to grass after once de
stroying the prairie sod has been seri-
ously questioned The prairie grasses
are rich and nutritious, but their yield
Is not generally heavy and in many
parts is uncertain, especially in dry
years, like the present. Where large
areas are available at small cost, the
production of cattle on prairie or foot
hill grass is profitable In some sec
tions which few years ago were taken
by settlers who have found mixed farm
ing under existing conditions unprofit-
able the country is going back to cattle,
not quite after the methods of the old
range cattle days which preceded the
settlement by farmers, but in a way
little more civilized. Large areas are
inclosed A better kind of grass farm
ing is also being introduced, one which
gives value TO land and substitutes
farm homes for half civilized ranches.
and this means the extension of alfalfa
patches all over the west Alfalfa is
not a grass botanically. but is clover
or a legume of the pea vine family. 1t
makes three TO four crops year. I'm

the Boston Cultivator IL is mainly

DiIution of Milk.

In 1898 the Indiana experiment sta
ton for two weeks carried on an ex-
pertinent on the influence of dilution
of milk on efficiency of creaming The
results Of this work, as published in
bulletin "A of the station, were that a
greater loss of fat occurs in skimmilk
when dilution is practiced than with
undiluted milk, that the loss is greater
with cold than with warm water and
that by diiuting the milk a poorer
quality of skimmilk for feeding is
thereby produced These results were
in accordance with conclusions arrived
at through similar experiments at the
Vermont, Cornell Illinois and Ontario
college stations. The process of dilution
was not To be recommended as a gen
eral practice.

The story of Lydia Darrah's ride was

twenty-five or thirty years ago, and tue
writer with others, well remembers reading
the same, in the histories that were then
used in the public schools and recalls to

of her as a person being endowed with
more than acute hearing but subsequently
learned that Instead of it being the kew
hole, it was a knot hole, that she had her
ear to- The house was simply partitioned
off with boards, not lathed and plastered,
and in one Ct the boards in the partition,
