HOT LOCAL GAME.
Neither Chestnut Hill Nor West
End Succeeded in Scoring.


A closely contested game of football was
played on the Grove avenue field, near
Lonbardy street. yesterday evening. be-
tween the West End eleven and the Chest
nut Hill team. Neither side scored.
Quarles, in full, played the game for
West End. Blanton and Michaels, on the
ends, tackled splendidly. Weber. the
star half back, was injured in the first
part of the second half and had to retire
from the game. Russell took his place,
and kept up the reputation Of that posi-
ton. Lambeth, at quarter. knew how to
run the ball. The guards, Leal and Smith,
and the center, Timberlake, knew what
they were there for.
For Chestnut HILL Huxter played gilt
edge ball. Lewis played a star role in the
game. Van Doran played we'll, and Mar
rim, on the end, was star.
1t was the hardest proposition either
team had had to go up against.
The lineup was as follows:

RlOatiny Cows.

There is always more or less COM
plant regarding the hloating of cows
during the first weeks after they have
been turned out to pasture Doubtless
part of the trouble is due to the an
imal. long deprived of green food. over
loading her stomach and at the same
time drinking copiously of water.
Oftentimes. however. the trouble is
either due to improper feeding or else
the animal has an attack of indiges-
ton. Ina either case the remedy is in
an entire change of diet.aavoiding any
food that Is not of the best quality
and continuing the grain ration to such
as are of easy digestion.
The quality of the water drunk by
the animal should be looked into care
fully and particularly If the water is
from stream in the pasture. If there
is the slightest doubt about the quality
of the water. the source of supply
should lie changed.

ReDeated Trials of Crops.

Every farmer who has tried the plan
knows that he frequently fails to get
a satisfactory crop of some grain or
vegetable. and does not always sue
coed in getting stand of the crops
sown for stock. This is often the case
with crimson clover. and sometimes
with the COW pea and with alfalfa.
Several recent communications from
correspondents who have adopted the
suggestion offered ia this column re-
garding alfalfa state that they tried
the plan. but did mot get satisfac-
tory stand. and hence would give it
up. This is wrong. as the writer can
testify. for on several occasions he has
failed to get "A satisfactory staud with
out any apparent cause for the fail

seed was poor.
On the other hand. other sowings

OF course the number of bundles per
acre will depend on how heavy the
grain is; but on the basis Of 400 bun
dies per acre the cost per acre would
be: Pure Manila, $50 feet per pound
1871 cents per acre; Manila, 600 feet
per pound, 20 cents per acre, Sisal
Standard, 500 feet per pound, 2l.3
cents per acre.
Owing to its superior quality many
consumers think the brand known as
Four Leaf Red Glover is the product OF
some Eastern manufacturer, whereas it
il made in Portland, Oregon, as can be
seen from the tag on each ball. From
Eastern farm journals it can be readily
seen that the large Eastern manufac-
tuners are responsible for the high price
OF fibre and maintaining the value of
Sisal and Standard Irvine. They con-
troll the Slsal fibre situation in Yucca
tan, where all the fibre for the worlds
consumption is raised, and holding
the market up to price that prevents
the smaller mills from getting fibre at a
low enough price to compete with them.
III farmers Will only remember that $50
feet Manila is the cheapest in the end
and use this quality of Irvine, they will
develop our trade with the Philippines,
which means an increase of population
on the Pacific coast and broadening the
market for farm products.

Grain aue Dairy Farm ing.

An important difference between
dairy farming and grain farming is
the amount of the farm that is sold
with the product that Is of the fertility
of the farm. The man who sells Il
ton of wheat sells in it about 81 worth
Of fertiliZing elements. and if he does
not buy something to replace them his
farm is so much poorer. The dairy
man who sells ton of bmtter has sold
but 30 cents worth of fertiliZfng ma
terial. and if he is Il good dairyman.
he has probably added much more than
that. or twenty times that to the value
Of the farm in t.a BRAN. oil meal. cot
ton seed. or other food that he pur-
chased while feeding his COWS for max
ing that ton of butter. 1t Is in this
way that the dairyman's farm is con-
tinu:.ly growing more productive. and
if he does not make much from his
dairy. he should from the crops that
he can grow on his much enriched soil.

The brown rot of peaches is generally
familiar to growers Of this fruit. but
many are careless in Kidding their or
chards Of the pest. probably because
they do not appreciate the damage the
fungOus growth does. The illustration
6airly shows how the mummified
peaches look when attacked with this
disease. Not only is the fruit attacked
by this disease. but the twigs ore also
affected. and the growth Is much more
formidable during damp growing sea-
son than a dry one.
1t seems unnecessary to say that
much Of the trouble from this difficulty
could be avoided: that is. the disease
might be checked. if these mummified
specimens were picked from the trees
before the buds appear in the spring.
AS with most fungous diseases Of
fruit trees. this brown rot may be large
ly overcome by spraying. 1t would oc-
cupy too much space to go into the de-
