ToDAY's FOOT BALL BATTLES.
Contests Will Rage on Many (
Checkerboard.

The foot bah games scheduled for today
do not show anything that Is likely to be
troublesome for the big teams. Big scores
win no doubt ag ~. be the order of the day,
and the possibility of big teams being
scored on adds to the interest of the days
contests. More team work can be looked
for than in the preceding games. In sew
eral cases the opposing team is something
of an unknown quantity. for instance. Yer
mont. which is to play Yale; Maine, which
meets Harvard, and Union, which tackles
Columbia. Lehigh will face Pennsylvania
and has shown itself to be a fast eleven.
Georgetown. another promising team, is
expected to give Princeton good practice.
The Indians play Bucknell, and here a
hard game is looked for. There will be
two local games. Gallaudet playing West
ern Maryland and Maryland Agricultural
College the Clifton Athletic Association of
Baltimore. The list of games follows:
Harvard VS.. University of Maine, at Cam
bridge.
Yale VS.. University of Vermont. at New
Haven.
Princeton VS.. Georgetown, at Princeton.

though he may follow flock all day long.
Often he will get his shot only after he has
walked the birds down-tred them out by
close. patient, grim pursuit The man who
can do that Is an athlete.
''If still-hunting and training is the finest
form of turkey hunting, calling or yelping
Is perhaps the most thrilling. The turkey
caller goes abroad while it is night He
selects his post IN the bushes or thicket
with only starlight to help him. That po-
sition must be chosen with reference to
two points: One. that the turkey roost
shall be within hearing distance of the
hunters hiding place. and the other, that
the ground in front shall be OPEN so that
the turkey when he is lured from his cover
must step into full view and present fair
mark.
before the calling begins. The 'yelper'
usually Is made OF a turkeys wingbone.
and the sounds that expert turkey
caller can produce with the rude thing
are wonderful as the ringing mate cry of
the Maine and Canadian moose hunter.
In the pine forest roost the sounds set
great birds to futtering-first sleeply. then
with sudden. roaring beating and tapping
of eagle-like pinions as the big man
turkeys drop heavily to the ground.
SLOWLY one of them stretches himself
shakes his feathers bit. preens himself
a bit. and advances a few steps. Then he
more tempting comes the cry from the
open. The hidden gobbler lifts his brave
head high. Listening intently, he strides
forward a few feet more.
Suddenly he stops and stands. with one
big foot held high. in sudden suspicion. Be
fore him lies the open field. Now let the
turkey yelper miss a single note, lose
single delicate infection in his imitat ton
of the love call. and there will be no wild
turkey shot that morning. Silently as
ghosts the flock will fit away through the
dim. dewy woods. and presently will settle
a mile away far out of reach of the Turing
cry. and an hour or more afterward the
hunter, creeping to the roost. will discover
that he has been calling into an empty
forest.
But let the call be perfect Then. sud
denly from the silent. apparently lfeless
woods, there will ring a gobble gobble
.gurgling from deep down the great turkey
cocks throat. And the next instant as
stag might step out of the forest, so stalks
the wild bird. He is reckless now But
the wild gobbler's recklessness is not like
mans recklessness. Nan in his most wary
moments Is a laundering object compared
with the bronze bird In his most reckless
ones. His clear eyes peer straight at the
hiding. place whence the call issues. He
strides proudly, yet the hunter has need of
all his eyes. for that big shimmering body
seems to fuse with every patch of dark
color, every tiny bush. every clump of grass
in his path. If the gun barrel SO much as

hunter stirs even slightly. with a whirr
of wings the turkey will be back in his

Grass or clover is the essential for
highest health. greatest prolificacy
and profit The man who feeds In dry
lots, which means In mud or dust, can
never grow hogs as cheaply or sue
cessfully as he whose hogs always
have all the grass or clover they want
to mix with the corn and other dry
feeds given them.
IL one has no blue grass or clover

rye. that are good substitutes, but not
SO lasting. Or he may grow rape on
a small lot that will furnish succu
lent feed for a large herd and be
worth as a saver Of grain $11.90 per
acre. Alfalfa will a at the rate OF
$24.10 per acre. Clover and blue
grass will save as much.
In the face OF these facts II is the
strangest thing in the hog business
that men will go from year to year
raising corn to feed more hogs
and neglect to save corn and improve
hogs by providing them with all OF
the cheapest, healthiest feed the good
Creator has made-green grass. This
gospel of grass calls for green grass
not dry hay or dried up pastures.
Blue grass is wont to be short In the
hot, dry months, but in the early
spring and fall, and even in the open
winter, 1t is tender, rich, succulent
and inviting, and has no equal for
young things, al well as old. To do
the best and produce the cheapest
feed and the hogs at the least cost,
we must supplement this permanent
pasture with clover, rape, rye, bar
ley, peas, oats Of such quick growing
grass as Italian rye grass or millet.
A mixture Of oats, barley, rye
wheat, rape and millet, or any other
such odds or ends the farm may have,
pays better than corn or potatoes, and
costs so little. This succotash is a
good substitute for grass or clover,
and can be planted any time from
March to August and be ready to
Craze In six weeks or less.
And yet there are men who call
themselves breeders, and successful,
who never provide grass, clover or
grazing for their sows and pigs or
hogs.
Is it any use to preach the gospel
of grass? Lest some forget. We may
