BALL CAPTAIN BADLY HURT.

Washington, May 0.-Lave Cross, captain and third baseman of the Phil adelphia American league team, was more seriously injured by ball batted by Frank Huelsman than was sup posed during the game here yesterday. Cross broke the force of the terrific blow with his feet and the ball bound- ed up into his face and crushed the bridge of his nose, fracturing the bone.
 For ten minutes he lay bleeding on the field and for an hour and half 1t was impossible to entirely stop the flow. It is thought that small blood vessel was ruptured. Cross's eyes are badly swollen and 1t will necessitate his retirement from the game for some time.

MORE BASE BALL ROwDYIsM.

Pittsburg, May 9.-A fight which al most started riot marked the base ball game yesterday afternoon at Ex- position park between Pittsburg and Cincinnati. The principals were Cly- mer of Pittsburg and Blankenship of the Cincinnati club. Clymer was the first of the Pittsburg players to go to bat. He hit to Higgins, the second baseman, and was thrown out at first.
 As Clymer wheeled around at first base Blankenship claimed he spiked him. Blankenship rushed after him and struck him several blows on the back and about the head. Clymer did not return the blows, and before the scrap got under way very far Umpire Bauswine was on the scene and sep arated the men. Both were barred from further participation in the game.

Stirring the Soil.

In the articles on grass culture fur
nished the Maine Farmer by Geo. NJ.
Clark the keynote has been the frequent
and continued working or stirring of the
soil. He is not alone in this recommend
alton. Mr.. C.. S. Stetson in his paper
before the dairymen's meeting last
winter referred to the bOuntiful crops of
Hungarian and clover following, he had
taken from field in the two years past.
This bounty he attributed largely to the
repeated working and grinding down of
the soil, in preparation for the seeding.
Successful farmers all around are giving
much credit to this thorough and re-
peated working of the soil, with the i'm
plements adapted to the work, in
preparation for the crop to follow.
With so much evidence brought out in
proof of the effect of this thorough
working in preparation for crop produc-
ton there can no longer be doubt as to
its importance in aid of bOuntiful crops.
In travelling across a neighboring
town few days ago, where the raising
of sweet corn for the canning factory is
made a leading feature Of the farming,
much of the land intended for the corn
crop was not then plowed, and lay in
the natural grass sod. Only couple OF
weeks time then remained to plow and
prepare the land before the seed should
be planted. This brief time could not
give opportunity for that thorough
preparation of the soil which has been
proven so essential in aid to liberal har-
vests. Hence large measure of the
advantage which should have been real
lied, and which experiment and expert
ence have proved can be secured from
thorough preparation, must necessarily
be lost to the operator from delaying
the work on these corn lands to time
so near the planting. We accept the
fact that farmer cannot always get at
a piece of work as promptly as its best
interests call for. At the same time it is
quite as true that he has to pay dearly
for the delay through the discount from
the otherwise full measure of the result
ing crop.
Every farmer knows that in New Eng
land, and especially in this state, the
time for the preparation of the land for
the spring seeding is short. Every
effort possible, therefore, should be put
forth to start in this important prepara-
tory work ahead of the time when the
advancing season requires that it must
stop. Much of this work can ba done
in autumn. To be successful, a farmer
must be active and ready to take advaa-
tage of every step that serves to insure
the bounty of the harvests.

tne POSITION OI his relldDle sell
tinels that he could follow each
phase of the imaginary conflict
OH the other side Of the island. The
first outbreak of desultory firing died
away amidst chorus Of protest from
every feathered inhabitant Of the isle
so jerks assumed that the Dyaks had
gathered again on the beach after rid
ding the scarecrows with bullets or
slashing them with their heavy razor
edged swords.
A hasty council was probably held,
and, Notwithstanding their fear of the
silent company in the hollow, an adj
vance was ultimately made along the
beach. Within a few yards they en-
countered the invisible cord of the
third spring gun. There was report
and another fierce outbreak Of mus
kerry. This was enough. Not man
would move step nearer that abode
Of the dead. The next commotion
arose on the ridge near the North cape.
AT this rate of progress" said
jerks to the girl, ''they will not reach
our house until daylight"
Il almost wish they were here" was
the quiet reply. 81 find this waiting
and listening to be trying to the
nerves"
They were lying on number of
ragged garments hastily spread on the
ledge and peering intently into the
moonlit area of Prospect park. The
great rock itself was shrouded in SOM
Der shadows. Even if they stood up
none could see them from the ground,

An interesting and quite remarkabl,

An interesting and quite remarkable
milk record in respect to uniformity
of production comes from the farm OF
S. c. Manley of the Farmer. A grade
Jersey, Z years old, which calved Dec.
80, 1904, produced milk as follows dur.
ing the first fourteen days of May: thir.
teen out of the fourteen days her milk
weighed ls lbs. in the morning and Is
lbs. at the evening milking; on the 9th
inst. her milk weighed II lbs. at morn.
ing milking and IS at evening. The
feed ration during the fourteen days was
2 quarts gluten and quarts bran or 9
quarts oats daily with what hay she
would eat clean, fed twice day and %
quarts water twice daily. 1t will be
noticed that there was no variation
whatever during the two weeks test
which certainly is creditable record

Don't be Shiftlessl

Don't get into a shiftless habit OF
reading or thinking, or doing things.
Keep snugged up in your mind and
habits. Get into the habit of being
prompt with your work and in paying
your debts. Don't acquire the loose,
helter-skelter, shiftless way of looking
at things and doing things. If you are
shiftless, you will be poor. There is nc
help for it, you will be poor. Poverty
invariably follows shiftlessness. 1t is
the man who is orderly, neat and snug
about his farm work that keeps contro
of his work. Shiftlessness of habit
comes from having loose, unframed
and unorganized mind. "As mar
thinketh in his heart, 80 is he."

Intense Farming.

| Read, observe, think, and above all
exercise deliberate reason as to what
you will do on the farm and how you
will do it. In addition to broader,
deeper and more complete knowledge,
the one thing next needed in Maine
farming is more intensive work. This
is called for in all directions. This
never can be brought about without
earnest study and hard and deep thought
given to every feature of the work In
hand. Just here is where the advantage
of an education comes to farmers aid.
Education enables person to think, and
out of the application to draw sound
conclusions. One can study, think,
reason without college education ii he
will put his mental powers into the
work. This is just what is called for at
the present time in farming. There
needs to be more mental power applied
to the operations in hand. There is too
much indifferent work carried on in an
offhand, easy way without the powers OF
the man being put into it to bring out
better, larger and more profitable re-
suits.
This indifferent, -go-easy way OF
carving on farming in Maine enters in
measure into every branch of our opera
items. Look around and see who are
the shining lights, the young men who
are making success OF their business at
the present time. There are such, and
in every case it will be found that they
are men who are applying their full
powers-not necessarily of muscle but
of mind-into their efforts. If dairying
is leading branch of their business
they are seeking to get good cows to
work with. They are intently studying
their management. If they are breeders
they are in search of superior animals to
work with, and in some way they get
them. We once heard noted breeder
say that he never ran up against good
bull that he really felt that he ought to
have to head his herd but what in some
way he contrived to secure him. 1t is
by this intense application to the pur-
pose in hand that progress is made and
success wrought out.
The same requirement obtains in the
production of crops from the farm.
There is little of possibilities or of en-
in Indifferent crops. Boun-
tiful crops that pay richly for the pro-
duction are possible. Those who pro-
duce them know what is required TO
bring them forth. That knowledge may
be mastered by others, and its results
realized, when the required powers are
rightly directed. Intense cultivation is
a recommendation to that end; and are
you putting it in? Intelligent manuring;
and are you intently studying the prob.
lem? Rotation of crops; have you studied
up a system that meets the demand of
the present time? There is too much un-
certainty in commonplace effort and in
that is only ordinary. 1t
has been proved that the people of
Maine are as smart as any to be found
elsewhere. Those born, bred, and
trained on the farm are among the best.
There are noble examples still on the
farm. All that is called for to raise the
standard of our farming still higher is to
apply the full powers of the individual
to the business. Intensive application
applied to intensive methods rarely
meets a disappointment. There is room
for more of it.-Maine Farmer.
