ORCHARD GRASS GUSTS CLOVER.

Replying to a query of subscriber
will say that if his soil and climate
are adapted to the growth of orchard
grass he should have no trouble in
getting it started in field now
seeded to clover and other grasses.
A stiff blue grass sod might resist it.,
but nothing else can, with our soil
and climate.
Some years ago small field near
our farm-buildings was seeded to or
chard grass for early pasturage, and
since then, year by year, it has spread
in all directions-along the roadside,
around the fences of the farm yards,
and even has spoiled the lawn of the

MATCHING CHICKENS.

Chicks can be hatched in incuba-
tors so they are utterly worthless. IL
the temperature is kept too high or
too low during the hatch or If the
ventilation is bad the chicks will be
small and weak and will be diseased
before they come out of the shells.
If the chicks are hatched right,
brooded right and fed right they will
be as large and vigorous as chicks
can be. Wrong feeding, close con-
finement and improper mating have
done vastly more to injure the vigor
and vitality of our poultry than the
method of Matching or brooding.-

Women Active in China.

Chinese girls are forming themsel-
yes into associations and pledging
themselves not to marry unless they
are allowed to choose their own hus-
bands. Another effect of the woman
movement in China was evidenced the
other day when the young women of
the province of Che-Klang opposed the
plan for securing a loan from England
to build an important railroad and
invested 100000 in the stocks of a
Chinese company.

Putting the ball onto a base
runner is the finest art known
to defensive base ball.
Many injuries from spikes have
made players careful in tagging
out men who come in feet first.
This, incidentally. has developed
the art of putting the ball onto
"a runner and at the same time
escaping injury. until it is now a
fine art.
Base runner and base guardian
must be fearless in close plays.

for fear of being retired, and the
fielder must disregard spikes
