to interpret the great lessons that TO-
day loom in unmistakable lettering
above the fields Of the wide north
west. The language, in which these
lessons are written, is a universal
tongue, and the most ignorant and
careless as we'll as the brightest and
best informed can read and profit by
them. Good seasons blind US to the
absolute need of good farming, and
the poorly handled soil at such times
frequently responds to abuse almost
as literally as to good treatment; but
such season as this brings out good
farming in outstanding distinctness,
and just as surely uncovers neglect
and poor management. Here Is field
of grain so hidden in wild oats and
other weeds that much Of the scant
fertility and all of the surplus mois-
ture was taken from it, just when the
grain needed it most, and IL Is not
worth cutting. Across the road is a
field of wheat or oats that does not
show a weed from the road, only a
few old corn stalks are visible, had It
may make fifteen or eighteen bushels
in spite of the dryness. A good season
it would have done much better. Here
is a field of alfalfa completely burn
ed out, while not far from it is one
still green and vigorous, and If the
fall and winter is not too hard on it,
there will be good stand left an
other spring. The first piece was
sown on an ordinary seed bed, and ow-
ing to weeds and other drawbacks, did
not get rooted very deeply before the
dry weather struck it and the weeds
robbed it, The other piece was put
into clean, repeatedly and deeply
worked seed bed, we'll fertilized, and
the early vigorous unhindered root
growth put down such long feeders
that now it is beyond the harm of sur
face dryness and the owner believes
that alfalfa will prove success upon
his land. Over there is a small field
of potatoes so rank and vigorous that
it attracts the attention of people on
the passing trains even, for all Other
1 potato fields seem given up to bugs
and dryness. Looking up the matter
we find that the field is a deeply work
ed, top dressed clover soil; that the
seed was from large selected potatoes
kept so cool in the spring that the
sprouts were only just starting Wher
they were put into the splendid seec
bed early. The plain tracks OF the
turning harrow on the head lands tel
that no moisture was allowed to es
cape, and the vigorous vines nov
largely protect the surface soil from
wind and sun. Here is a corn tielc

that shows the same treatment, and
while it is good for sixty to seventy

every indication of being cut in half,
or more, for lack of root growth and
moisture. There is flax on sod that
with any show at all is good for ten
or twelve bushels. while the rest OF the
breaking cannot make seed back. The
owner tells us it was broken the same
week, but the sod of the part that now
shades the ground beautifully, but Is
just breaking into bloom was rolled
as fast as plowed, and a fine sharp
harrow followed the heavy roller close.
It was getting late so the other partof
the field was not rolled or narrowed
until the flax was drilled Inland
then it wasnt-and it was as dry as
a powder house In less than week.
The best piece of barley in the coun-
try across there, was sown on land
that was well plowed the week after
the macaroni wheat was cut off Of it
the year before, and as it was twice
thoroughly narrowed between that
time and winter, beside being harrow
ed the day it was plowed, the dryness
does not seem to affect it any more
than it does summer-fallow or clean
corn land. There is mile long piece
of oats not worth putting the binder
into, and upon looking into the cause
we find it very feedy and stumbled
in" This same piece of land in very
favorable season, being little loose
in texture, gave pretty fair returns al
ter this same treatment years ago; but
| the mustard is thicker now, the farm
ing is written plainly in withered
grain and bright yellow OF mustard
bloom. And so the lessons run from
one end of tile country to the other.
There are sections, tits true, where SO
little moisture has fallen that even the
best of farming is bringing discourage
ment and loss; but all over the vast
stretch of country through which we
have travelled by auto, train or on foot
we have constantly come across from
good to extra crops of almost every
thing, and every time we have stopped
to looi. up the reason for their exist
ence we have found one. And we have
! found, Too, that in great majority
of cases the one in charge of the poor
crops had more acres than he coulc
properly handle. Occasionally we
found a man who had by ample
hired help and machinery produced
crops that were better than those Of
smaller farms around him, but as q
rule the plea for not blowing well anc
early, for not working down tie break
ing, for not narrowing behind the

WATCH The REDS
Cincinnati Declared to Have
Become Logical Factor in
Pennant Race.
TEAM LOOKS FORMIDABLE
Much Depends Upon the ShOrtstOp,
as the Lineup Is Good in
Other Places.

Look out for Clark Griffith and his
band of Cincinnati Reds this season.
Watch out for them from the very
jump, and don't let your vigilance
slacken anywhere along the route. A
little carelessness, a little bulIheaded-
ness, lack of precaution in dealing
with this formidable baseball outfit,
and the pennant will be floating over
the park near the Ohio river. The Gin
cinnad aggregation lacks a few num-
bers of being of championship team
caliber, and any slackness in fighting
the Reds will mean a jolt that will
make Pittsburg. Chicago and New
York howl like lions.
Batting counts terribly nowadays,
when there isn't much of it, and the
Reds will come very near being the
best batting team in the National
league this season. A little money can
be found, if need be, that they will
outhit Pittsburg on the official aver
ages when the count is taken. Base
running? They are the best base run
ming team in the National league right
now, and they are not going to lose
any of their speed. Fielding? They
were not as good in the field work last
season as they should have been, but
this year they are going to be there
with the stops and pickups almost as
accurately as even the Cubs, who are
the smoothest and fossiest machines
In baseball. The pitching department
of the Reds held them back last sea
son and now Griffith thinks this has
been corrected. Net result: The Gin
cinnati team comes pretty near being
the one best bet in baseball today If
anybody offers decent odds. While It
is generally accepted as a solid prop
osition that Pittsburg and Chicago will
fight it out, Cincinnati will be the
dark horse.
Batting Strength Great.
The batting strength of the Cincin-
natl team, as Griffith has doped it out,
is tremendous and is sure to be much
better this season for several reasons.
Be it remembered also that both
Lobert and Downey are great base

HOW TO PURCHASE A MOTOR CAR

Automobile buyers these days are
learning that a machine suitable for
one purpose is not necessarily suitable
for another, and types have been
evolved with reference to many spe-
cial uses. Design and construction
are so far standardized that the pur-
chaser who wishes some certainty
mixed with his experiment can find it
in his choice of well tried and popu-
lar machine. If the right choice is
made he can get a car which, mile
for mile, will cost no more than a
horse, and probably much less, and
will far outdistance the horse.
The knowing purchasers choice re-
solves itself around the question of
carrying capacity, speed, convenience
and taste in body style, supplemented
by his mechanical knowledge of the
car. When you buy a car it is a good
idea to choose along the following
lines:
See that the car seats the number OF
passengers you desire and seats them
comfortably, as pleasure is the prime
requisite of a car.
Observe whether the car has sufi-
cient power to carry its load at the
required speed and that it picks up
speed and is able to negotiate hills on
high gear without pounding or undue
effort Quietness and lack Of vibra-

ton is the first item in economy of
upkeep. Note the fexibility in the
range of speeds on the throttle with
out changing gears. How slowly 1t
will run on high gear without clutch
slipping. Flexibility is most impor-
tant, as it avoids gear changing and
enables the car to cover a greater dis
lance in a days run.
A good motor should be able to ac-
celerate and pick up speed on high
gear almost at a touch. A sluggish
motor is dangerous. as there are often
times when quick and immediate ac-
ton is necessary. Your car should
start at turn Of the crank. Two sep
arate ignition systems are an advan-
tage and are an anchor TO windward.
General appearance, comfort and
durability are points that can easily
be judged by the reputation of the
makers. Beauty of body lines and up
holstering are external points which
mark the high grade car and can never
be faxed. Last and not least is the
care of the car after you have bought
it. Will the firm stand back Of its
product and give you prompt and
cheerful service when you need a re-
pair part. ETC.?
All these are points which the pro-
spective purchaser should weigh well
and look up before purchasing.

against the Boston Nationals recentlJ /,
Ty Cobb figured in one of the most
remarkable plays recorded in the an
nails of baseball.
Moran of Boston drove a long, low
fly between center and left field. Coles
of Augusta started for it, and Ty
Cobb started also. The ball hit on
Cobb's outstretched finger tips and
bounded into the air.
Cobb stumbled and nearly fell, but
Coles drove forward and Knocked the
ball into the air with his gloved hand
as it fell again. and Cobb, making an
other reach for the ball, failed to
clutch 1t securely. Coles again came
to the rescue with a dive toward the
ground, and he, too, failed TO hold the
ball a second time.
Cobb threw himself at full length as
the ball Topped toward the earth
again, and this time caught and held
it with his bare hand three inches
from the ground The entire perform
ance occupied nearly full minute.

He didn't slam the ball during the

he has begun to pick up in his hitting.
