Chickasha did some brilliant work
here and soon put the ball within
FL Reno's S yard line. BY two
errors, however, the home team re-
ceived a setback Of 20 yards.
Haines then came 10 the rescue
with a brilliant IS yard run and
placed the ball squarely behind the
goal. Haines K kicked goal and the
score stood 6 to lin our favor.
The battle began again, the ball
being kicked to Chickasha. Yea
ton picked it up on the 20 yard line
and carried it 10 yards. chickasha
attacked the enemy's line fercely.
Yeaton broke down the visitors
defence and through his strong
playing Haines, Leonard and
Philips made gains through the
line. There was some quick play
ing now, and in 2 minutes, Leonard
had made second touch down. The
game was now almost at all end.
The final score was IL to o in
Chickasha's favor.
Our boys, with few exceptions,
played a good game all around.

III Keno won the tOSS-up ana
chose the south cool. Chickasha
kicked off and sent the bali out Of
bound. A second kickoff yielded
no better result. FL Reno then
took the ball and began the battle
from the center Of the field. 1t
looked like the heavier team of the
visitors must soon play havoc with
our lines. They gained the first
five yards with apparently little
eTorl, but lost it on the next.
Chickasha failed to make good on
the next five yards.
Then came a hard struggle in
which neither side seemed able to
make a gain. FL Reno, however,
was favored by fortune for a time
and then toward the end Of the half
Chickasha mustered fresh strength
ard made some good back gains.
FIaines went through the visitors
line in some brilliant plays The
half clased with NO score for either
side and with Fl Reno in posses
sion Of the ball
The second half opened, with
chickasha strong and pugnacious,
the visitors being unable to gain
possession Of The ball. FL Reno
kicked off, Leonard cought the ball
and advanced IS yards. Then
Haines carried the ball s yards and
Leonard took it 10 yards more.

Basis of Good Pasturage.

The basis for every good permanent
pasture is Kentucky blue grass. Many
sections in the central west will quick
ly produce blue grass sod if left un-
cultivated. 1t is not. however, gener-
ally profitable on high priced land TO
depend on this method for securing a
permanent pasture. BY this practice
many bare spots will remain for sew
eral years which are not only objecton-
able because they materially diminish
the yield, but also because they give
opportunity FOR noNious weeds to grow.
1t is far bettes therefore, to sow blue
grass seed at the rate of about IA
pounds per acre on perfectly prepared
land. a dressing Of barnyard manure
will insure good set of grass if other
conditions are favorable.

FINE LEGUMINoUs CROP.
tennessee Farmer Grows Enthusi-
nsic Abowt the Possibilities
oil Hairy Netch,

After seeing the hairy vetch grown
In Il small way for two or three years,
| have concluded that it is bound to
become one Of tie most important of
our leguminous crops. In this lati-
tude ii may I've s0wn in September or
October and cut for hay in May, thus
giving ample time to follow it with
a corn crop. cannot say how much
hay it will yield per acre. as PRACTICAL
ly all with which have dealt has been
saved for seed; but ! do know that il
VIII grow four to five feet high on good
land. and this means that it will yield
enough to merit attention.
Analyses of the plant show that il
is very rich in protein. and anything
that will help TO balance the usual ex-
cess of the carboDaccous elements in
our rations is undoubtedly needed by
most farmers. For hay. it should be
cut when in full bloom. If sown alone
IT Will be hard to handle, but when
sown with equal parts OF wheat or
oats, it is readily managed.
As cover crop il is especially val
liable. furnishing pasture in both fall
and spring and adding large quantities
OF nitrogen to the soil. Some soils, it
is said, must be inoculated with the
bacteria which produce the nodules
on its roots before the vetch will grow
well; but in my experience this has
never been necessary. II grows well
on variety Of soils and under widely
different conditions. It seems to be
far less particular in this respect than
crimson clover. Where few seeds
were dropped in a pasture, they came
up and grew readily; and the Arkansas
experiment station recommends it for
sowing on Bermuda sods, the two fur
nishing pasture nearly all the year.
Owing to the high price of the seed
at present, most farmers will probably
find it Improbable except for seed.
We sow it at the rate Of onc-talf TO
one hushel per acre. It is cut when
the bulk of the seed seems ripe, and
threshed in an ordinary grain thresh-
er. 1t will yield from six to ten bush
els per acre; and the latter figure may
be exceeded on good lands. If the sc ed
is wanted pure, it must be sown alone;
but this means some extra labor in
handling. It will reseed itself when
allowed to ripen, one piece of land
which was sown only once having pro-
duced two crops Of vetch and one of
corn. and having good stand of vetch
growing on il at present.
In all the southern half of the coun-
try, winter cover crops are neces-
sity if the land is to be improved, and
for this purpose I know of nothing
better than hairy vetch. This, to-
gether with its value for hay and pas
ture, is my reason for the opinion with
which | began this paper.--E. Il. Miller,
in Country Gentleman.

How the Nine was Named.

Up in the Black Hills of South
Dakota is mine with a peculiar
name. This is the way it came to be
chrsteded.
A prospcctor and his wife were one
day strolhng over the hills on little
excursion. In stepping from one
rock 10 another the man chanced to
dlslodgc a bit Of stone. AS he picked
up the chipped rock to toss 1t away
his eye fell on little thread Of yellow.
1t was gold.
When the mine had been staked
out and the claim filed at the land
Office, the question of a name was
raised. His wife asked him 20 call it
after her.
The man smiled sweetly. at is
just as you say; the mine shall be
named in your honor"
And from that day TO this one of
the richest gol1-mlnes IN the Middle
West goes by the endearing name Of
"Holy Terror."-July LiPpiaeoHS.

There seems to be difference Of
opinion as to the kind of education
which farmers need, but all agree that
successful agriculture depends upon ed
ucation. / can see no reason why a
farmer primarily should receive any
different education than any other per-
son. What difference does it make
whether boy means to be farmer,
doctor lawyer or a hod carrier? The
comfort of life as well as its useful
ness, In whatever sphere, depends upon
mental grasp and power, and it is the
business of the college to give this very
thing The technical studies by which
the doctor, the lawyer and the agricul-
turist are equipped for their work by
no means exhaust the scope of col
lege education. 1t is intended to fit
men and women to fill their appointed
places in life with satisfaction to them
selves and profit to their fellows

"Does the rural free delivery
pay?" queries the Towanda ArgnS.
Continuing it says, eff it costs on
an average 20 cents to deliver a
letter by the rural delivery routes,
which is ten times as much as the
postage, the system is very eXpen-
sive. 1t is reported by the depart
ment that it costs that much. 1t is
also said the system has been a field
for jobbery. The merchants in the
country towns also complain that
the system takes business away
from them, as the country people
patronize mail order stores. Time
alone ought to develop whether
this is true or not.
