AGGIES TOO HEAVY
FOR TECH ELEVEN
High School Team Puts Up
Game Fight Against
Weight.

Technical High School put up a game
Tight against the heavier Maryland Ag-
ricultural College yesterday at College
Park, tryt lost by Is to O.
The Manual Training team was right
there with crafty methods Of defense in
the first. which effectively prevented the
Aggtes from making any great head
way. In spite Of the fact that the hrst
sidrmish lasted but twenty minutes the
WashinGtonians showed the effects OF
the har3 struggle against weight and
went into the second with considerably
less spirit than was shown earlier in
the day.
In the second clash the High School
team resorted wholly to defensive tao
tics, ard made no effort 70 break its op-
ponents' line. Tbe strain began to tel.
and Two touchdowns were scored, not
by long runs. but by sheer hammering
Of the weaker line.
Bird and Ihrall Starred.
Cooper and SIackaH were especially
strong on the offense. and Bird made
the only sensational play OF the day
when he carried the hall twenty-five
yards By a fake run. ThraU made an
END run Of the same distance for Tech
and Brewer vas easily the star OF the
washington aggregation.
flIJeen players figured IN the NJ A @
hue-up, the coaches taking the DDDOr-
unity after victory was assured Of try
ing out the most promising candidates.

1t and add one peck of salt dissolved
in warm water; three pounds of
ground rice put in boiling water and
boiled to a thin paste; one-half pound

pound clear glue dissolved in warm
water; mix these we'll together and
let the mixture stand for several days
Keep the wash thus prepared in a ket

Cultivation VI the Apple
8 Orchard

This is the most IMPORTANT feature
OF the treatment of an orchard. In
general the trees should be given
clean culture the same as corn or any
other cultivated crop. 1t is well, how
ever, to occasionally plow in some
vegetable matter into the soil to rem
der 1t more resistant Of drouth and
to keep 1t from washing. This means
that some other crop than the trees
may be grown in the orchard. In
small home orchards any of the small
fruits may be grown between the
rows. On large areas corn is good
crop to grow providing the land is
rich enough to produce good crop
and does not wash too badly. If corn
is grown plenty of space should be
left for the trees to make their full
spread of branches each year. That
means, say, four feet the first year
and slightly larger space after that.
Rye may sometimes be sown after
cultivation ceases in late summer and
turned under when cultivation begins
in spring Where land is rich and re-
sistant of drouth or where it is so
steep as to wash badly, an orchard
may sometimes be sown to clover for
a year or two at a time to hold the
soil and to add humus to it. AS a
rule, however, it is best not to use
any crop except clover that will not
admit of clean cultivation. In many
cases it is well to rotate with different
crops, having part of the orchard in
one thing and part in another. This
enables one to harvest only one Sec
ton of the orchard at time and to
have succession of different feeds II
hogs are used to eat the orchard
crops. While clean cultivation should
be the rule aimed at, it must be re-
membered that one must vary from
this plan to suit his individual condi-
lions and to grow those crops which
will best suit his particular needs

HENOLoGf.

The brooder must be carefully ven.
tilated, so that the chicks will have
fresh air, but will not have to be ex.
posed to drafts.
Chickens usually sell for more per
pound than hogs, and 1t Is an estab,
lished fact that pound of chicken
meat is made at lower cost than a
pound of pork.
The handling Of an incubator Is not
a dificult matter, but one cannot do it
by instinct. The directions that go
with each incubator should be care.
fully followed.
Don't forget that chicks - though
small--require certain amount of
grit. A run in clean, dry sand for a
few days has been found beneficial
before nrst feeding.

Growing Pigs for Profit.

Prof. Spillman gives an interesting
account of a notable hog grower who
makes great success If 1t. He says
that with spring pigs, by the end Of
summer the pigs are made to weigh
100 to 120 pounds each, most of this
gain being due to a run on clover.
y. The pigs in winter are fed soy,
beans, hay and average of about five
pounds of grain per head per. day.
During portion of the time this grain
consists of mixture OF about three
and half pounds of corn, three
fourth pounds of shorts and three
fourths pound of meal per head per
day The amount fed is less in early
winter and gradually increases as the
pigs increase in size.
In the spring the 2O-acre clover field
il divided into two parts by means OF
q temporary wire fence 80 inches high.
One part contains 10 acres and the
other eight. One hundred and twenty
yearlihg hogs weigh about 200 pounds
each, are placed ID the 12acre inclos-
ure in early spring and remain until
sent toysmarket, about august list ID
10th. They are fed sboat tx0, and
half pounds Or grain daily, and this
IA gradually increased until they, are,
receiving four pounds a day when
sold. The, Is sows aud 100 ,pigs are,

ness that speaks volumes for this
new enterprise. But there is one
thing that can not be too strongly
urged upon them and that is the
necessity Of more thorough prep
aration for their spring work, and
if crops are expected to mature
they must be planted in the proper
time. Grain and other crops can
not be planted from June 18th to
July 18th with any assurance of
maturing. Alfalfa and timothy

and satisfactory growth,
Our motto should be: "Not how
many acres, but how much to the

Some Fool Laws as to Spring
Shooting,

Jacksnipe are beginning to strag-
gle in, bravely fighting their way
northward against the chilly blast
Sportsmen are indignant at the law
that robs them of shooting snipe in
spring and piover iii early fall. It
is silly law. 1t discriminates be-
tween people who live in different
sections of the state, for those living
in southern Nebraska can shoot snipe
before the 10th, while north here
they never come as early as that
date. IL all spring shooting had been
prohibited no one would complain.
Why, then, this discrimination Of
north Nebraska against the southern
part of the state and against Kansas
and South Dakota? Snipe do not
mate until the middle of May, and
owing to lack of gregariousness
as well as to their erratic flight
they are in no immediate danger of
extinction. There is veiled, in
vidious insinuation in the law that
if people were allowed to shoot snipe
and Dlover, other birds having a
closed season would be shot. Do
not these lawmakers know that no
man appreciates the law that pro-
tects breeding and immature or
rare birds more than the man who
shoots seasonable birds? BY the
way, who creates all such fool legis-
latlon? Take the food and drug law
as introduced. Here is a sample of
one OF it's provisions: A registered
physician writes prescription for a
cough mixture for a child living ten
miles in the country. 1t is four
ounce mixture and contains two
drachms of paregoric, teaspoonful
every three hours. 1t is put up and
labeled by registered druggist. The
child would receive, if given accord
ing to the plain directions, about two
drops TO the dose, or sixteen drops
during twenty-four hours; but this
law required that label with skull
and crossbones and having the word
poison in large letters be also at
tached. What mother, think you,
would give drop of the contents of
that bottle to her child? This is a
twin to the law prohibiting shooting.
Ii says the doctor or druggist can't
be trusted. The game law says the
plover shooter is rascal, who would
shoot prairie chickens on their nests
If allowed to carry a gun in late
summer. Evidently no doctor was
consulted about the one, nor sports
man about the other. Ergo, to pre-
vent chicken stealing, pass a law
forbidding anyone carrying gunny-
sack after dark.-Dr. J. H. Mccoy,

Three Times as Much Timber Used
Now Used Each Year as the


fOfcSJ GROWS.
Every person in the United States
is using over six times as much wood
as he would use if he were in Europe
The country as whole consumes ev-
cry year between three and four
times more wood than all of the
forests Of the United States grow in
the meantime. The average acre of
forest lays up a store of only 10 Gu
bic feet annually, whereas it ought
to be laying up 80 cubic feet in order
to furnish the products taken out of
it. Since 1880 more than 100000
100000 feet of timber have been cut
for lumber alone, including 100000
100000 feet of coniferous timber in
excess Of the total coniferous stump
age estimate of the Census in 1880.
These are some of the remarkable
statements made in Circular 81 of
the Forest Service, which deals with
the timber supply of the United
States and reviews the stumpage es-
Inmates made by all the important
authorities. A study of the circular
must lead directly to the conclusion
that the rate at which forest products
in the United States have been and
are being consumed is far too lavish,
and that only one result can follow
unless steps are promptly taken to
prevent waste in use and to increase
the growth rate of every acre of for
est in the United States. This result
is timber famine. This country is
today in the same position with re-
gard to forest resources as was Ger
many $50 years ago. During this
period of $50 years such German
states as Saxony and Prussia, partic-
ularly the latter have applied policy
OF government control and regula-
tion which has immensely increased
the productivity of their forests. The
same policy will achieve even better
results in the United States, be-
cause we have the advantage of all
lessons which Europe has learned
and paid for in the course of a
century Of theory and practice.
Least it might be assumed that the
rapid and gaining depletion of Amer
ican forest resources is sufficiently
accounted for the increase Of poDu-
lation, it is pointed out in the cir
cular that the increase in population
since 1880 is barely more than half
the increase in lumber cut in same
period. Two areas supplying tim
Der have already reached and passed
their maximum production-the
Northeastern states in 1870 and the
Lake states in 1890. Today, the
Southern states, which cut yellow
pine amounting to one-third the to-
tai annual lumber cut of the country.
are undoubtedly near their maxi
mum. The Pacific states will soon
take the ascendency. The state of
washington within few years has
come to the front and now ranks
first of all individual states in vol
I.ume of cut.
At present but one-ifth of the to-
tai forest area of the United States
is embraced in National forests. The
remaining four-fifths have already
passed or are most likely to pass in
to private hands. The average. age
of the trees felled for lumber this
| year is not less than so years. In
other words, II he is to secure another
