lively for Umpire Kane.

Kansas City, Aug. 2S.-The Blues
broke even in their fourth double
header in the last five days in their
games with Indianapolis yesterday
afternoon. The Hoosiers took the first
section by the score of 5 to o, while the
Blues annexed the second game by a
score of to 4.
The day was a strenuous one for
Umpire Steve Kane. He was away off
on his decisions in both games and in
the first game he thought it was neces-
sary to relegate man from each team
to the bench For disputing one of
his decisions Jimmy Durham came un-
der the ban in the third act. while Nc
Creery got his in the fifth. In the fifth
round of the second section Gilbert
was put ont of the game for hitting
Kane on the fingers with a bat.
After the games Kane was attacked
by crazy fan as he was going to
change his clothes. Before he could
be taken out of the crowd by a pair
of policemen Ibis jumps had received
a straight left to the jaw. This didn' I
do any damage, however When he
had changed his clothes Kane had to
be escorted to his hotel by the police.
The crowd followed for two blacks but
at Eighteenth and Olive he disappeared
as if by magic and the crowd broke up

OLD SORES

Old Sores are the result of a deeply
polluted, foul blood supply. The blood
is filed with poisons, and as it finds an
outlet through the ulcer, the surrounds

eats deeper into the tissues and flesh and
becomes permanent trouble.

her lashes droop to touch the flushed
cheeks.
Madame Riefet found little to cayil
at in the neat and comfortable, if
somewhat primitive arrangements at
Shell Island. which LATTE and his
party reached the afternoon follow
ing their departure from La Tete des
Faux.
Madame and the two girls were
quartered in his own cabin, the pre-
vailing atmosphere OF which was
owing to the tumble of foreign fur.
nishings that filled it-teak-wood and
lacquer.
Rose de Cazeneau was beside La
zalie, on one of the settees, with the
Spanish girls arm around her; and
the two were watching the flames, be-
fore which sat Madame Riefet.
After the excitement of the pra.
vious day, and not yet having recoy.
cred from their fatigue, the ladies'
we're disposed to be more silent than
usual; but presently Lazalie re-
marked. glancing around her, How
cheerful and pleasant 1t seems here,
it is almost as if Captain Jean had
known we were to come. and had pre-.
pared for our reception"
If so, then l wish he might have
known still more, SO that my brother
would have prepared for our protec-
ton at La Tete des Faux, and thus
saved us from this wild flight" said
Madame Riefet, as though determined
to be dissatisfied.
For my own part, am 80 thankful
to have escaped them that cannot
muster up the slightest regret over
anything else" declared Lazalie, who
had been thinking of that other flight,
when she left the Barra de Hero,
and escaped to New Orleans.
Mademoiselle de Cazeneau had, SO
far as appearances went, nothing to
say upon the subject, which was now
dropped.
Il cannot understand, Capt LATTE"
said Madame Riefet, with the air of
being somewhat annoyed at the fact,
how you came to have such a cor
rect opinion in regard to the possi-
BILE movements of the English-so
much clearer ideas than those Of any
one else-even my brother"

XI. Selection OF heads:
Before the grain on the seed grain
plot is harvested, sufficient heads OF
grain must be selected-picked by
hand in the f1eld-to produce enough
large. plump grain for the seed grain
plot Zone acre. for 1907. 1t is consid-
cred advisable to allow grain intended
for seed to ripen more fully than
grain for milling purposes. 1t might
be good plan to leave the grain on
the seed grain plot standing until the
surrounding grain is harvested, thus
allowing it to become fully matured.
If. however, It is desired to obtain an
earlier ripening strain of any variety.
the selecting should be done as the
earliest heads become mature.
Before commencing the work of
gathering the heads from the stand
ing grain the persons selected should
observe closely the differences that
exist between the individual plants.
Some do not stool SO much as others
In some the stoolons are weakly and
much shorter than the main or first
stalk that appears from the seed. The
grain in the heads of some plants is
more uniform in size than in others.
In many plants the heads of grain con-
tain small, poorly developed kernels
in the lower end spiklets, while the
kernel in other heads of the same va
riety growing by their side are fairly
uniform throughout. The best heads
from the most robust. large and pro-
ductive plants should be selected. The
whole plant. and not the head only,
is to be considered.
An ideal type of both plant and
head should be fixed in the mind CT
the selector before the work is com
menced, when he or she should pro-
coed Systematically and rapidly
When sufficient grain has been gath
cred to produce enough large. plump
seed for the acre of the seed grain
plot for the following year, 100 of the
largest and best developed heads may
be selected from those which have
been gathered for seed and forwarded
to our address as the selection for the
yearly competition.
