Did Giants foil Pirates
Elaborate Signal Service?

According 70 dispatches from
Pittsburg the Giants took some
d effective method OF fooling the
Pittsburg signal service which.
according TO the other National
league teams, has been very
largely to blame for the ter
rife batting rallies which the
Pirates have been turning on
or late on their home field
The Giants had been freely
warned that there was such a
bureau IN operation and doubt
less switched their signs for
self.protection The result ma
terially stopped the Pirates who.
instead OF their usual clouting
bee were let down by Mathew
son with two runs.
Quite number OF instances
are on record where big-league
teams have made success by
use OF a bureau OF spies which
can be used for tipping of the
signals of the catcher TO a mau
bat. This has usually re-
suited in eventual disaster.
however. on account OF the com
plete collapse OF the teams bat
ting when forced TO take the
road So far-as- known. no
team has yet won pennant by
the use OF any such trick.

Before passing over the scene Of
yesterdays strife IL might be men
toned that Ira Thomas performed. as
usual the most important part in the
defeat OF his old team. Il was his
slashing triple in the seventh which
paved the way 20 the finishing touches
of the Tiger defeat. Ira scored the
tieing run himself and had grand
day all round with the exception Of
the fact that the Tigers ran bases on
him with a freedom approaching aban-
donment.
The only regret that emanates from
the minds OF Detroit fans regarding
Thomas is that President Navin and
Manager Jennings didn't keep Ira on
the Detroit list If only 10 insure his
absence and that OF his death-dealing
sapling from the ranks OF any OF the
opposing aggregations.
Hurrah For Rossman!

marked that Claud Rossman is be

Digging Potatoes.

The time Is near when farmers will
be digging their potatoes. and then Is
the time to select the seed for another
year; when a hill Of nice, smooth po-
tatoes Is found, free from scab or rot,
and goodly number are just the
shape and size wanted for table use,
put them one side. At night gather
them up and put them away for seed
next spring. You will be surprised to
see how you can change the type and
improve them in few years, says a
Vermont contributor to the American
Cultivator. We do this every year,
and, while our townspeople are COM
planning of their potatoes running out
and buying of us to renew their seed,
we are planting potatoes (Green
Mountains) that started from the seed
that was bought for IS bushel when
they first came around. II farmers
would take as much pains in selecting
their seed potatoes as they do their
seed corn, we would not hear so much
complaint about potatoes running out

1t can not be that the butter fat in
milk Is obtained from the fat stored
In the tissues OF the COW, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat in their bodies. Reason as we'll
as observation teaches that cows ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce
large percentage of cream the rations
Of the COW should be rich In the ele-
nents Of nitrogen and carbohydrates,
which are found in linseed meal mid
dlings, bran, corn meal and ground
pats. At the Cornell University cows
that yielded 200 pounds Of butter fat
annually under ordinary feeding yield
ed 80 pounds when given liberal
rations Of feed rich in nitrogen and
carbohydrates. Cream will not make
butter unless 1t contains fat and
profitable fats will not be produced
unless cows are fed on rations rich in
the elements that produce cream.

Rye is good grain to feed horses.
1t is equal to oats and wheat, but it
must be ground middling fine and
mixed with cut straw or cut hay.
The straw or hay should be cut into
half-inch lengths, moistened with wa
ter and the rye meal well mixed with
it. 1t Is very sticky and horses can
not get the meal without eating the
straw or hay with it. In feeding corn
to horses we always grind half rye
with the corn to make the corn meal
stick to the cut straw. Corn and rye
ground together in equal proportions
and mixed with bright cut straw
moistened with water make well-bal-
anced ration, equally as good, as eager
ly sought after by horses and a cheap
er horse feed than oats and hay.

killing Qunck Grass.

A Michigan farmer gives these In
structions for killing quack grass
Plow five or six inches deep in the
growing season, say April. May and
June. Give it good digging, then
cultivate with cultivator that has
teeth close enough so they will cut
the roots two or two and one-half
inches under the ground. The secret
is to keep 1t from getting to the sur
face. 1t wants holding down six
weeks. 1t does not take expensive
tools. use an old-fashioned Guilt
vator that was bought fifty years ago.
1t has seven teeth, three in front, four
In rear; each tooth cuts six inches
Wide. 1t is good to drag 1t over after
three or four days. l cultivate once
week for six weeks; 1t has never
failed me yet. The roots will be dead
as hay. 1t is good for Canada thistles.
II one is doubtful, take a rod or more
square and keep 1t down for six
weeks and see how 1t works. This was
done with hoe on two acres. and 100
bushels of smutnose corn were raised
to the acre. planted in drills one foot
apart and hoed to kill.

Changing Bees.

The common busy bees may be grad

lied queen of either kind preferred
II she is carefully guarded in a small
cage for a few days the bees soon
recognize her, and in the course of a
few months the old bees will all be
dead and the new ones will be of the
desired kind. The queen is compelled
to lay numbers of eggs daily in order
to supply the great loss constantly
recurring by the destruction from
birds, storms and other difficulties.
There should be left plenty of honey
for a winter supply, and the hives
should be we'll protected from storms.

Hog. md straw Kicks.

Some farmers think that a straw
rick Is a good place for the sow and
her brood to sleep. This Is a mistake.
1t Is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw, get too warm and take cold
when they come out into the freezing
atmosphere. Coughing and wheeling
Is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides, If burrowed beneath
the straw they are liable to be stepped
on and seriously injured or killed by
the stock running to the rick
During the summer months especial
ly should the SOW and her young be
fenced from the straw pile. II they
burrow down into the half rotted
straw they will be very apt to con-
tract some disease

The substance left In the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed Is
known as "humus." In order to Sc
cure the greatest results from the fer
tilizer and to get the largest possible
quantity Of humus, 1t is necessary that
the soil be moist when the fertilizer
is plowed under. Only small amount
of humus is obtained from the turned
under fertilizer should the ground be
dry.
When the fertilizer is allowed to lie
upon the surface for period, exposed
to the sun, much good is lost from
the fact that 1t forms but a small
amount of humus when plowed under.
Therefore 1t is important that the soil
should always be moist when fertilizer
of any kind is plowed under.
In many ways humus benefits the
soil. In the first place, 1t makes the
soil lighter as we'll as looser. This
condition allows good ventilation and
gives chance for poisonous gases to
escape. The soil does not become over
heated, and, in clay territory. the
ground is lightened. making 1t more
easy to work. 1t is equally beneficial
in sandy soil. inasmuch as 1t as
sists in binding 1t together. allowing
more substance.
