For the Farmers.

The old method of transporting farm
Pre- zee was by horse and wagon. and
sometimes it took a whole week to
journey from farm to market and home
again
Then came the railroads, and the
farm wagon journey was materially
short ened.
Now the truck farmer of Long Island
and other sections within twenty or
fifty or seventy-ffve or one hundred
miles of the big cities are using auto
mobile trucks to transport their farm
and garden produce.
A 45-herse power truck can be rolled
along at the rate of ten or fifteen miles
an hour and experience has taught the
Long Island farmers that this Is the
cheapest way of transporting their
products to the stores of the retailers
and the homes Of the cons uners.
1t is said that over 1000 such vehi-
cles have been purchased by Long
Island farmers during the last year and
that 1000 additional trucks have been
ordered to be delivered during the ear
ly spring months.
If this new method of transportation
continues to be popular and proves to
be a saving in expense it promises to
cut materially into the receipts of the
railroad comparatively Haven

FARMING VACANT LOTS.

A remarkable work is being done by
1.-THE Philadelphia Vacant Lots associ-
4ation in providing farms" for persons
Ewho wish to raise their own garden
truck. There are at present about 450
families who are now raising vegeta-
bles on the vacant lots in the city.
They VIII supply food to about 5000
persons. Enough ground Is available
to provide for about 1000 families if
the association had the money to de-
velop it.
At present when the cost of living is
so great these little plots solve the
food problern for hundreds of families.
The ground Is plowed and placed in
shape for planting, they are given
such-seed as may be necessary and
the only cost is one dollar for the
firstrgear and for five succeeding years.
They are ALSO given advice from time
to time by expert gardeners SO that
the best possible yield is obtained from
tho soil.-Philadelphia Press.
Backyard farming would be found to
be a source of pleasure and profit to
families of limited means; and in
sderes of yards which have for years
been growing grass or weeds, lettuce
and spinach and string beans and rad
ines and cucumbers and squashes
mi ght be grown, supplying fresher and
better garden truck for the table than
can be bought, to say nothing OF the
added strength and health which result
Rom open-afr employment. People of
small incomes could advance their own
Interests in this way surprisingly if
they would bestir themselves.

SANTA CLARA and
ST.NARY' ONEDGE
Oakland College Rules FaV0rife
Over Mission Town Rival
for Rugby Game
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

The two Catholic colleges, St. Mary
and Santa Clara, whose football teams
are to meet on the football field on
Saturday, are on edge for the occasion.
At both colleges yesterday the excite
ment had grown until the students were
nothing but a bundle of nerves. and
there was nothing else spoken of but
the coming game.
Both teams yesterday put in their
final practices. For the most part Santa
Clara INDUCED in light work, such as
passing and kicking. st. Mary's had a
regular practice game, besides going
in for heavy serum work. Coach
Faulkner put his men through all the
work he could, and the team was prac-
ticing until it was impossible to see the
ball, owing to darkness. The st. Mary's
team also tried out a system of signals
that will be used in the game Satur-
day. and they worked to the full salts
faction of the coach.
Last night at both colleges large and
enthusiastic rallies were held. Bon
fires were kindled on the respective
fields, and the opposing college was
burned in effigy. Speeches were made
by the coaches. captains and other
notables al each place, and college
spirit ran high.
No practice will be held at either
college today The St Mary's team
afternoon to try as far as possible to
get the mems minds off the game
st. Mary's is easily the favorite for
the game In the betting. The Santa
Clara team however, is a strong aggre-
CATION and the st. Mary's men are not
undertaking the ability of their oppo-
nents They are prepared for any sur
prises that may be sprung at the last
minute.
The Santa Clara team has the weight
advantage in the back division, and the
men composing the back field are ad-
mittedly a strong bunch, particularly
on the offensive. The weight will not
be as much advantage to them in the
back field as it would be forward, and
it is in this part of the game that st.
Mary's has the better of it.
The cripples of each team, while not
thoroughly recovered, are so far ad-
vanced that they will be able to take
the field tomorrow. Hughes, Simpson
and Roth are all on the road to re-
covery, and Fieberling, who has been
lame for some time. was out in uni
form again yesterday, though his in
jured foot gave him more trouble than
the other men experienced. Tramutolo
is all right, and was out for practice at
Santa Clara yesterday afternoon
Should the weather be rainy and un-
favorable on Saturday il is not known
what action will be taken in regard to
the game If conditions are threaten
ing today the Santa Clara and ST
Mary's mana cement will confer on the
subject. and the decision will be an
nounced Saturday.
