New Foot Rules.

Important changes in the rule gov
ernlng the forward pass play, which
prove of advantage to teams, and other
football legislation, were made by the
intercollegiate football rules commit
tee, which concluded it's session in New
York recently.
Inc new rule on the play of the
forward pass covers the illegal touch
ing of the ball. When illegally touch
ed the side making the illegal play
loses the ball to it's opponents on the
spot from which the pass was made
According to the new rule only the
man of the passer's side who first legal
ly touched the ball may hereafter
take it until it has been touched by an
opponent. If the forward is legally
touched and then free and is then
touched by another player of the pass
er's side, the ball goes to the oppo-
nents at the spot where touched.
The committee considered the ques-
ton of defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass and it was de-
cided that while the forward pass is

side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push
them out of the way to get at the ball.
In order to eliminate tackling it is pro-
vided that the players of the side
making the forward pass, who are elig-
ible to receive the pass, may use their
hands and arms just the same way
that players do down under the kick.
Another rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves of the
game Is minutes. A delay of two min
utes beyond that time gives the ball
to the field, which may then place the
ball on the 30-yard line of the offend
ing eleven.
Another rule adopted provides that
all forfeited games hereafter are to
score as one to nothing.
The committee passed a rule that all
penalties, except in the case of man
disqualified, may be declined by the Of
Tending side.
In the future the field judge will act
as timer instead of the linesman.

JAP WAR
NEEDLESS
SAYS BARON TAKAHIRA
OF JAPAN.
MOST CORDIAL RELATIONS EXIST
BETWEEN UNITED STATES
AND THEM

New York, Feb. 1S.-Declaring that
war between the United States and
Japan would be the most "inhuman
event in the worlds history" and was
too hellish" to be thought of, Baron
Kogoro Takahira, the new Japanese
ambassador to Washington, said Sun
day, upon landing in New York from
the steamer Etruria, that the Japanese
knew absolutely nothing of a break in
the cordial relations which have been
historic between the two nations. Talk
of war, Baron Takahira declared with
much emphasis, was utterly unintel-
ligible to him, unless, as some one had
suggested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends of some
newspapers. The new ambassador
said there might be some matters pend
ing in Washington which would re-
quire his attention, but they were not
serious. AS to the cruise of the Amer
lean fleet to the Pacific ocean, he re-
garded it purely as naval maneuver
on grand scale, designed to show to
the world at large that America has a
wonderful naval power which can be
dispatched anywhere at moments
notice Gin support of legitimate
cause, which always is at the bottom
of American diplomacy" Baron Taxa
hira will leave for Washington tomor-
row morning at II o'clock to present
his credentials to President Roosevelt.
He is warm personal friend of Mr..
Roosevelt, and is looking forward to
his meeting with the chief executive
with a great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
spent in Rome as ambassador to Italy.
The baron left Washington as minister
and was subsequently elevated to the
rank of ambassador. He was one of
the Japanese ENJOYS at the. Portsmouth
peace conference.

Winter Work on Farms.

One Of the greatest needs on the
average Southern farm nowadays is
more work in winter. Ever since |
could remember, it has seemed to me
that life on the common Georgia farm
is too much Of happy go-lucky style.
To get results in anything, one has to
keep everlastingly at it, SO to speak.
For years l have heard staid old farm
ers discussing fall blowing and spring
blowing, but I have seen too little Of
it In actual observation, writes J. c.
NJ, in the Southern Cultivator.
There used to be an idea, which is
still prevalent, concerning results from
fall and winter blowing. Some ar
gued 1t was injurious to plow deep in
the fall, others that it was absurd to
pillow in the springtime to auy great
depth. The truth of the matter is that
good blowing at any time when the
soil Is in good condition is good thing
to do. Usually in the spring the sub
soil Is too wet to pillow, and when it
Is turned up or broken in this condi-
ton damaging results are likely to oc-
cur.

FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Much Good and Profit at Wenatchee,
Wash.

Much Good and Profit at Wenatchee,
Wash.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association was established about
two years ago with about 300 stock
holders and was capitalized at $4,000.
The object of the association is to Sc
cure better prices for fruit and to ena-
BILE the fruit growers to dispose of
their fruit though a medium of their
own, and not through the hands of
wholesale buyers, who buy only what
they care to handle, the amount
bought by them being regulated too
much by the supply and demand of
their own trade. The fruit growers
now bring their fruit in and dispose
of it to the association, who search for
market, and after disposing of it
charge 10 per cent for selling.
During the past season the prices
for the handling of fruit have been
as follows: Five cents box for
peaches and packages of like size, Z
cents box for apples and packages
of similar size.
Three hundred cars of fruit have
been handled, approximating $1,000 a
car, making the total amount handled
by the association valued at about
100000 for the year 1907.
One feature of the business of the
past year was the pig apple pool held
in September. One hundred and one
cars of apples were held by the as
ISOLATION, and bids were advertised for
in all parts of the United States.
New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans,
Washington, D. c., Chicago and other
large cities throughout the east and
middle west were apprised of the fact
and bids came in from every direc-
ton.
When the bids were opened it was
found that the best price offered for
apples came from the east and south,
and the 101 carloads were sold at
prices far beyond the expectation of
the leaders of the pool. The apples
sold for an average of $1,000 car and
netted large sums to the fruit growers.
The fruit was all delivered and the
money paid before the money strin-
gency came on.
An inspection of the books shows
that the largest proceeds from this
years work of the association to any
one individual was William Turner,
who lives just about mile and half
from Wenatchee.
Mr.. Turner had IS acres of six year
old orchard and 10 acres of five year
old trees.
The books show that he shipped
S779 boxes of apples and received for
them $1S,544.S0. Ninety-three boxes
were sold for $162.55; % boxes sold
for $4S.70; 1000 boxes of light colored
apples sold for $1,000; 200 boxes are
still held by the association for sale.

Points in Butter Making.

When butter will not gather the
olfficulty can be traced usually to ad-
Ianced lactation or too low a temporal
ture of cream. The milk from one
COW long in lactation is sufficient to
spoil whole churning. The viscosity
Of such milk renders separation Of but
ter fats slow and imperfect. 1t often
happens during the winter months that
butter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate into small particles. which re-
fuse to adhere or gather, in spite of all
coaxing. The only remedy is to raise
the temperature of the whole mass up
to the proper degree. In this work the
dairy thermometer Is almost indis-
pensable, as 1t will save much time
and worry. II the churn Is revOlv-
Ing one and the cream just breaks into
minute particles, refusing to gather,
then add warm water to that used In
rinslng the butter until 1t reaches about
"a degrees. The butter particles will
generally adhere after few revolu-

SeIf-CIOsing Doors.

How to XIII a Pig.

The pig should be thrown on its back,
and held until stuck. One man should
stand astride the body, with his feet
close against Its sides and take hold
Of the front legs. In this way the hog
can be easily controlled. Another per-
son should do the sticking. A narrow,
straight-bladed knife, eight inches
long, should be inserted in the hogs
throat, after making an incision
through the skin, just in front Of the
breast bone. The point of the knife
should be directed toward the root of
the tail and held exactly in line with
the backbone. When the knife has
been run into the throat six or eight
inches. the depth depending on the size
of the hog, it should be given a quick
turn to one side and withdrawn. The
arteries that are to be cut run close
together. just inside of the breast bone,
and will both be cut when the knife is
turned. provided 1t is sharp on both
sides of the point. A pig killed in this
way will die in "a very few minutes,
ind will bleed out thoroughly.

Setting Trees in Winter.

Fruit and shade trees may be set any
time during the winter If the soil Is In
proper condition for the work, says a
report by the Oklahoma Station. Th
condition of the soil at the time trees
are set has more to dc with the success
or failure Of the trees than does the
season Of setting. II the land Is in
good condition in the fall, and the trees
can be obtained it is better to set them
then than to wait and run the risk Of
not having the soil in good condition
later on. The land should be in thor
ough state of cultivation and should be
moist enough to work well when the
trees are set. If they are in good con-
dition there Is no need Of watering
them.
Trees set in the fall may be little
difficult to protect from rabbits, but
they are usually in better condition to
start growth in the spring than those
that have been heeled in all winter.
There are not SO many poor trees sold
in the fall as in the spring, and for this
reason fall setting usually gives better
results than spring setting.

In connection with a very thorough
study Of the quality Of various kinds Of
lime used for agricultural purposes in
New Jersey, L. A. Voorhees,, of the New
Jersey Station, made careful estimates
of the weight per bushel Of the different
materials.
His results show that the weight of
stone lime per bushel (heaped meas
ure), Is quite variable and without any
constant relation to the analysis Of the
samples. The average weight per
bushel of the twelve magnetism lines
was ninety-seven pounds, and that Of
the six marble lines was 1O1 pounds"
The weight per bushel of seven oyster
shell lines examined varied from
thirty-nlne to seventy-five pounds, av-
eraging fifty-one and half pounds.
The prepared or so-called "agricul-
tural" lines examined were still more
variable in weight.
