pitched wonderful game, tanning
fifteen men and allowing only one
hit, and that scratch hit or bunt.
The DEBORAH team played an errorless
game, Cresco making three errors.
DEBORAH made four hits and one score
in the first inning, and this was all.
Rodsater was the first man up and
singled nicely, Kenyon followed with
hit, Bidne damned out fly to
Schuetz who eobbled it and caught
Rodsater at home then Rogue singled,
scoring Kenyon, and the thing was
done. For eight long innings after

DEBORAH 4, HARMONY 2.
At Harmony on Sunday the boys
had to play against rafting good
team and an umpire besides. John
Pulver, member of the team dis
abled from playing, was allowed to
umpire, and he did. AS a usual rule
Friedline had to get five strikes on a
man before he would call him out,
and he couldn't see the bases. Twice
at least man was caught at second
when he did not turn around until
after the play was all over, and once
at third forced run out by eight to
ten feet was called safe, this decision
giving Harmony it's two scores Two
or three times the boys started TO
throw up the game, but were induced
to go on and finish. Harmony has a
good team. Wohlford of La Crosse is
a mighty clean and clever pitcher and
Lang held him well. Friedline did
the twirling for DEBORAH, with Rod
safer behind the bat. Five hits were
made by each side, and up to the
seventh inning neither scored. Two
or three times Dec orah had men on
second and third, but failed to get
them home. In the seventh Harmony
made its two scores. and in the eighth
DEBORAH bagged three, with one more
in the ninth. The local team has no
feeling whatever against the Har-
mony players, but the umpire was
certainly rank, fact that was at
tested by practically all except some
of the Harmony rooters.
LIME SPRINGS CANCELLED.
Manager l.. o Reed had a game
booked with Lime Springs for Mon
day afternoon at Lime Springs, but
upon learning that the boys would
have to play in grass diamond after

Cover For the Land.
Keep on sowing crimson clover or
hairy vetch or winter yetch and the
wheat, oat and rye mixture on an
land from which other crops are har-
vested, and which is not wanted for
oat or wheat crops. This will make a
cover for the land and conserve and
add to the fertility Of the land and
make grazing or hay or a green fall
low to pillow down for corn and other
crops in the spring. All the land in
the South needs to have more vege-
table matter put into the soil so as to
make 1t rich in humus which con-
serves moisture, makes fertilizer
available and prevents baking of the
soil. Thousands OF dollars spent in
fertilizers can be saved by sowing
these crops and much better results
be obtained, and the cost is so small
that no farmer should hesitate to in
cur the cost It is much certain to
result in profit than many times the
amount spent in fertilizer in the
spring. Sow twelve pounds of Grim
son clover and three pesks of wheat,
oats and rye per acre, and one bushel

Green Food For Chicks.

An excellent green food for young
chicks can easily be provided through
the expenditure of a few cents for
oats. A half bushel Of oats should be
placed in a shallow box so that the
entire mass is two to four inches
deep. This should be sprinkled with
water daily until the seeds have be-
come saturated, when they will sprout
and continue to send up tender green
shoots. Very young stock may be fed
the shoots only, while older chicks
can be given seed and all.-Guy E.

Disease which causes large losses in
storage IS the black rot, This disease
attacks both the growing roots and
the stored potatoes. The potatoes
may look all right at the time of
storage, but still contain the organism
Of the disease. The practical meas
ures which should be employed to
treat the disease and prevent this rot
In storage are thus given by e. NJ.
Wilcox in a recent bulletin Of the
Alabama Station:
% Never employ diseased roots
to procure sets. ~ Destroy, by
burning, all diseased root and sets,
and do not feed the diseased roots 20
animals IL the resulting manure is
to be placed upon the field where the
potatoes are to be grown. 80 In
general, commercial fertilizers are
preferable in sweet potato culture on
the above account, and particularly in
the beds employed for the growing
of the sets. (4) AS you select your
sets 1t may be well to lift the roots
and discard sets coming from roots
showing the rot. 90 DO not place
diseased potatoes In storage, as the
loss may be very great. (6) The
young sets, If diseased, may be
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. (7J
If the disease has proven serious dur
ing the past year ( would be well to
mix a tablespoonful Of sulphur with
the soil about each set as it is planted.
(s) Practice rotation Of fields If one
field becomes too badly infected with
the fungus. (9) Collect and burn
all diseased roots and stems.
In order to lessen or prevent rot
the potatoes should be perfectly dry
when put in storage and kept dry
throughout the period of storage

A man in this city whose business

the other day why it is hard to have
a number of clocks strike together.
You see," he said, some clocks are
arranged to strike half minute be-
fore the hour, some a quarter of a min
ute before, others a few seconds after,
and SO on. Now If regulate them to
strike at the same instant they will
not be in agreement in point of actual
time. and that is really more i'm
portant consideration. Of course, if
there are a great many clocks in the
house it is likely that several will hap
pen to strike together. For instance,
one house on my route has twenty

Possibilities OF Concrete.

Here are some concrete possibili-
ties. You can build concrete founda-
tions, sidewalks, fences, water
troughs, cisterns, water tanks,
shelves, cesspools, cutters, floor of all
kinds and stairs, well curbs, horse
blocks, stalls, hogpens, troughs, chick
en- houses, corncribs, icehouses, incu-
bator cellars, mushroom cellars, hot
bed frames, bridge abutments, Chin
neys, ventilator dams, windmill foun-
dations, fence posts, clothes posts and
hitching posts. There is one farm
where the post and rail fences and
the feed bins are concrete, and in an
other even the lattice under the house
piazza and the laundry stove are
made of it. Cases Of this kind are ex-
treme and impractical, however. -

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old
coffee topper to quit the use of coffee
as it is for whiskey or tobacco flend
to break off, except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up
Postum without any feeling of a loss
OF the morning beverage, for When
Postum is we'll boiled and served with
cream, it is really better in point Of
favour than most of the coffee served
nowadays and to the taste of the con-
noisseur it is like the favour of fine
mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
IN the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves-caffeine-has
been discontinued and in it's place is
taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read THE
