SALT LAKE, July 26.-Willie
Hogg was there with the goods yes
terday. He stabbed for the Indians
for Is consecutive innings and was
able to pitch two games to victory
1t is very unusual for a pitcher to be
called to pitch two games in success
sion and more unusual for a man to
pitch two games In one day and win
both. Titus went in for the locals in
the first game but was pounded for
five runs in the initial inning. After
that Salt Lake played as though the
result OF the game was a certainty
Essick lasted four innings in the Sec
ond game. when he was replaced by
Tozier. He was a little sore and lack

CARAVAN ROAD 5000 YEARS.
Scenes Along One of Most Ancient High
WAYS in the World.

The road from HONS to Hama runs al
most due north, straight white line cut
ting across the green fields 1t is one
of the oldest routes in the world. Cara
vans have been passing along it for at
least 1000 years, just as we saw them
long strings of slow moving camc.s with
their bright colored bags Of wheat.
One could almost imagine that Pharaoh
was again calling down the corn OF Ha-
math to fiji his granaries against the

the long line Of camels was a longer line

PROFIT in Hand GeparnAor.

Iiahd separatorS average about 500

COWS are kept; tins has been demon
strated time and again, so there is no
doubt about 1t, Manufacturers Of Sepa-
rators claim that the saving is about
ten dollars COW per year and is based
on the fact that the cream is taken
from the milk while it is sweet. hence
there is no danger of 1t becoming sour,
and because Of this almost perfect con
dltlon the cream ripcns more evenly
and, therefore, makes better DUAL

ing Is done soon after milking the
value of the skim milk for feeding pur-
poses is greater, as it is usually given

and nothing against it, SO that any

does not have separator is cheating

pair Of ordinary shoes used to be as rare
as sombreroS on Broadway, are abandon

Eight or ten years ago the young min

leges, used to come into camp with hob
mailed laced boots. This style of footwear
was at first scorned as the mark of the
tenderfoot and dude.
Then n few miners tried laced boots
Just for fun, and found the fashion n sem
sible one. Laced boots brace the ankles
for climbing and can be taken off with
out a bootjack. They fit more snugly
all round and are less likely to chafe.
So the miners began to take them up.
Now the olG-tim, boots is rare in the min

Even the few cowboys left in the west
ARE taking to laced boots. There was n
time, in the heyday of the COW country,
when special grade of fine, high-heeled,
Thin soled boot was manufactured solely
for the cowboy trade, since cowboys were
always very vain about their footwear
but with the decadence of their trade
the cattlemen have lost their small yani

In some States there are county laws
which make it obligatory for those in
charge of the roads to see that road
side weeds are cut twice during the
growing season, first before July and
the second time before the first Of
September. 1t would be well If such
a law was in force in all sections,
and yet the fighting of obnoxious
weeds seems to be one of those things
for which no law should be required.
Farmers ought to be more than will
ing to combine among themselves for
mutual protection, even going so far
as to cut the weeds in front of the
farm of any man who will not do the
work himself. This would not need to
be done very often, for shame would
soon compel such man to do his
duty.
The main trouble with weeds how
ever, Is with such as are allowed to
grow inside the fence line, for few
farmers are willing to spend the time
necessary to rid their farms of these.
Combine with each other to rid the
roadside of weeds, and then let every
man take care of those inside the
fence and elsewhere on his farm. If
this weed fighting was done systemati
cally instead of spasmodlcally, 1t
would not require many years to de-
cidedly lessen the weed crop and ma
