Score Of II 10 S.

Bennington High school buoched
four hits In the seventh inning after
two men were out yesterday afternoon
and ran away from the base ball team
representing the high school OF the
North village. For six innings the
game was close, neither team apparent
ly having much advantage over the
other but four runs In the seventh
took the courage out OF the visitors
and the result was then out OF doubt.
Fasset pitched fine game for Ben
nington. He was rather wild at times,
giving free bases on balls, but was
Otherwise effective. He had II strike
outs to his credit and gave BE visitors
but three hits, one OF which was good
for two bases.
Livingston, who replaced Slbley be.
hind the bat after the latter had hurt
his hand In the FIRST inning, caught a
good game and threw TO bases with
far better accuracy than Durham who
was so slow that the home players
stole bases almost as they pleased.
For North Bennington the batting
OF Leonard and Powers was largely
responsible for the runs. Their three
hits we're punched with some batter y

SEED CORN.
A Swinging Crate to Attach to Any
Good Roof.

Good ROOF.
The corn crop depends upon three
essential things-the selecting of seed.
the care of the seed and the planting
and cultivation of the seed. The sec
ond consideration is the most simple of
the three. The seed should always be
put away dry. If it is not dry when
selected dry it. If dry it does not mat
ter whether put in warm or cold
place. But by keeping it dry l do not
mean to wrap the ears. 1t should be
left open and not too much in pile, so
that there may be free circulation of
air through the heap. 1t is easier to
smother seed than it is to freeze it.
Never shell the seed until you are
ready to use it.
If you are big corn raiser and re-
quire large quantity of seed you
should.build a good seed corn bin. For
amounts ranging from one to fifty
bushels racks made out Of / by lum-
Der can be suspended from the, rafters
in the buggy shed, tool house, smoke
house or any place where the roof is
good. In placing the lumber on the
crosspieces of your racks leave a good
space between each plank so the air
can go upward through the corn. Sides
and ends should be put on the racks,
making them boXlike, to prevent the
corn from falling off. Suspend the
racks to the rafters by putting wires
around the crosspieces and fastening
them to the rafters. Throw your corn
into this swinging crate, and it will
then be in a dry place with plenty of
air and away from the rats and mice
This also makes a splendid place for
early gathered seed of any kind. 1t
does not bleach, and l consider air
dried seed the best.
l have had good results from oiling
seed corn with linseed oil before put
ting it away. This of course helps to
exclude dampness, but do not think
it is really necessary, as a good roof
and plenty of air are the first things to
look out for The seed also needs air
after it is placed in the ground. Do
not plant too deep. Study your ground.
Plant the seed deep enough to draw
and hold the moisture, but not so deep
that it will smother and rot, advises a
writer in American Agriculturist.
Smyrna times., 1907-02-20
Winter Feed.

Oilmeal also has special value in
connection with dry winter feed. The
oil it contains is of very pronounced
benefit to the alimentary canal, as can
be observed by the. pasture-like con-
sistency of the manure and by the soft
skin and generally fine condition of the
COW. Cottonseed meal is a tremendous
milk maker, but is a dangerous feed
when used immoderately.
An occasional farmer grinds wheat
regardless of price for feeding stock.
This is also losing plan in most cases.
Wheat has TO be very low or other feed
very high in price to justify the plan.
A ton of bran will make more milk
than ton of wheat because 1t con-
tains greater percentage of the milk
making element, protein. For feeding
young pigs middlings is superior to
wheat, pound for pound, as it contains
less bran and less flour, both of which
are inferior feeds for that class of
stock.-W. G. j. in Ohio Farmer

BOUGHT BIG SAFES.
The Way Jay Gould Brought an Ex-
press Company to Terms.


press Company TO Terms.
Recalling early days in the express
business, an officer of one Of the largest
companies told this story of Jay Gould:
Gould and Fisk then had hold of
the Erie" he said. land the United
States Express company had all the
express business ON the road. The con-
tract was about to expire, and Gould
wanted an arrangement more profita-
ble to the Erie.
"'The Eries doing all the work and
you're making all the money Gould
said to the express people. You ought
to do some of the work and give the
railroad chance at the money
THE express company officials de-
INJURED. Their profit they insisted.
was no more than they We're entitled
to. and they refused to shade the con-
tract a penny. Gould insisted on a de-
crease. but they remained obdurate
and eventually let the Erie president
understand-whath he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at that
time were in an agreement to maintain
rates.
"All right said Gould at the conclu-
sion Of the interview, you've no objec-
ton, l guess to my going into the ex-
press business for myself. 1t looks
better than railroading'
THE express people replied that
Gould could organize all the companies
he wanted to. They thought it was all
bluff, but things that came to their at
tention soon weakened their faith in
this idea. Gould was going around
among his associates talking up an ex-
press company scheme, officials of 9TH
er roads were told that new company
would be in the field to bid for theiI
business, and the papers began to tall
about the new Gould express company
'The express officials, however, saw
none of Gould's money going into the
enterprise and stood pat. Presently il
was reported that he had bought TWEEN
! ty-four big express safes. Was this
talk or was it business? the express
men asked themselves. They set tt
work investigating, and they discover
cd that the report was true Gould hat
actually bought and paid for the safe
safes cost money in those days, too
and he was negotiating for all the 9th
er equipment required.
Now. thoroughly convinced o
Gould's sincerity, the express compan.
came to- terms. Gould got the best con
tract from a railroad standpoint tha
had been known up to that time. Th
clause in the contract that the Unite,
States Express company considere,
most valuable to itself was one stipU
lating the abandonment of Gould's eS
press plans.
'It was all q bluff ON Goulds par
except buying the safes. For that MAJ
ter the purchase was. of course, part G
the bluff, but Gould had actual
bought and paid for them unconditior
ally. Nevertheless he lost nothing o
the, deal, for as soon as friendly rel;
tions We're established with the expires
J officials he persuaded them they coul
use the safes in their business and sol
them at a little better than COST
