effective for his Alma Mater (outside of clean

and playing the game. l have seen teams that
made me blush for university training, teams
in which half dozen or more tough looking,
gum chewing creatures, each with his cap
poised rakishly over one ear, shouted to their
pitcher, That's right old boy!"-" He can't
hit it, old boyl"-" Give him another like that,
old boy!' and in which many coaches as
the umpire permitted, and more than he should
have permitted, yelled ceaselessly from the
side lines to the batsman and the base runner.

put it over the plate, old boy''-"Now you've
got him in hole, old boy!" with an offensive
ness to be matched by nothing but its gloomy
lack of originality. And these creatures,
whether hirelings not, represent institutions
of learning! To be just, they are not neces-
sarily bad fellows: they are unwise in their
choice of models and limited in their vocabu-
laries,-that is all. Rather, that seems all;
for in a way they are degrading one of the

An Exposure of Conscience


WHEN speak of the opportunity for

football only. Baseball still suffers from such
standards as that of the late Nj. ]. Kelly. Row
ing and tennis have been excepted by President
Eliot as cleanly conducted sports. l know
little about either of them; but ! know that
tricky men can make either of them tricky.
Indeed, there is no competitive sport, indoor
or outdoor, from rowing to jackstraws, that

of the participant. Moreover, as l have i'm

students, at any rate-who do not 1ntrust
their conscience to coaches, trainers, and cap
tains, through fear either of ridicule of
diminishing the chance of being chosen in the
team. The whole force of athletics and of the
social success bound up Herewith IS brought to
bear through these officers. So, too, IS the
force of what passes for college loyalty. 1t is
highly important. therefore, that these officers
should know what college loyalty is.
Let me give an instance OF the real thing.
Some years ago there three pretty good
candidates for the position of center in the
Harvard eleven. / will call them A, b, and c,
in the order of their supposed merit. A had
his H, and was recognized good varsity"
material; was half-recognized such; c,
regarded as the weakest candidate, had yet
one point of superiority to both A and B,-he
could pass the ball more accurately and, being
a man who studied things out, he discovered
why he could pass it more accurately. This
accurate passing was his hope of running
the other men off; but, having found the Sc
cret of it, he saw that he must, for the sake of
the college, show the secret TO them. I'm

SUGAR IN CORN.

Sugar is one of the most elusive of
products. 1t is we'll known that the
sun is the great sugar producer and
that couple of cloudy days will ac-
tually drive a large proportion of
sugar beet's sugar down into tfa-
ground. Then more sunshine will lift
it up again.
The effect of environment upon the
content of sugar in Indian sweet corn
has been studied by the Department
of Agriculture. The almost universal
use of sweet corn for food throughout
the country renders such an investi-
cation of peculiar interest to consum-
ers as well as to producers. A single
variety of seed was planted in differ
ent localities from South Carolina to
Maine, and the quantity of sugar in
the product was carefully determined.
AT the same time weather data were
secured which are utilized in deter
mining the effect Of environment in
all of its factors upon the composition
of the product. 1t was found that
within twenty-four hours after har-
vest, If exposed to ordinary tempera.
lures, very considerable percentage
of the sugar had disappeared from
the grains of the corn. This fact has
led to the observation that it is nee
essary to market the product as soon
as possible after harvest, and mean

INGREDIENTS on FERT1LIzERs

Three substances must enter into
any complete fertilizer: Cd Nitro
gen, which forces quick, succulent
growth, and is, therefore, valuable for
vegetable crops; (2) potash, which
gives rich flavor, and should never be
omitted by the home gardener; CD
phosphoric acid, which makes the
fiber of the plant, and is necessary in
all crops that are to endure over the
season. High grade fertilizers have
these elements in the following pro-
portions: Nitrogen, ten to fourteen
per cent; potash, forty to fifty per
cent; phosphoric acid, twenty per
cent.
When buying brand look only
at the figures referring to these three
items-all others are reiterations and
of no service whatever.
The ideal all-round fertilizer for
lasting effect is one having the ratio
of nitrogen, two; phosphoric acid,
four; potash, five. This can be mod
flied according to ones desires and
the crop to be grown. For instance.
in the early spring, for growing spin
ach, nitrate of soda, which gives nj
trogen only, is perfectly satisfactory
on most soils, so that there would be
no need of giving extra potash or
phosphoric acid.-Indianapolis News.
