CAPTAIN ARCHIBALD BUTT

The personal charm of Captain Archi- bald Butt who was with President Taft during his visit to Birmingham is re- membered with much pleasant interest in society. His suave manner and re- markable tact were in evidence to ev- cry person who had the privilege of meeting the presence and it was equally evident to all that he stands between the President and the public, removing every social obstacle with the aid of the politest manners in the world. A sketch of his personality accompanied by one of Cecil Clark Davis pencil drawings. is an interesting feature of this weeks issue of Town and Coun- try" which has the following:

BALL FANS GALLERY

TOMMY BOND.
The Man Who Convinced skeptieaI
Fans of the Happy Curve.

1t takes a long time to convince
some people Of the possibility Of the

after experimenting with pitching,

Some accepted this; others didn't.

The sale was under the direction of
Charles f. Arnold, receiver of the land

buyers for only 400 acres, and they
were all squatters on the reservation.
1t is understood that some of the
acreage has been well improved bat
none of the squatters cared To bid

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
feet Agreement-Soll Conditions
Materially Influence.

The depth to which corn may be cuL
tivated. especially in dry areas. is a
matter on which there is not perfect
agreement. Soil conditions materially
influence this question. Usually shall
low cultivation only is recommended
and as a rule such cultivation is cor
rect, but there are some exceptions,
says the Dakota Farmer. One difficult
ty is to know exactly when the excep-
tions occur.
One exception is found in soils that
are much prone to settle too adhes-
lively, as for instance stiff clays. In
these It may be necessary or at least
advantageous to cultivate somewhat
deeply the first cultivation that is
given. This, however, will depend
somewhat on the size of the corn when
the first cultivation is given. If the
corn has reached say foot high be-
fore such cultivation is given, some
caution must be used about going down
deeply, as the lateral roots OF the
corn will have pushed out far from
the rian.s and not far from the sur
face. II the first cultivation given is
deep. then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception is found in that
condition of soil which not infre-
quently occurs in the west when a
crust forms below the line of the shall
low cultivation. This crust may be
lower than some of the lateral roots.
This brings up the question:. will the
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
eral roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. The
best authorities favor the breaking up
of the crust, and doubtless they are
right. This can only be done by send
ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought.
There is also difference of opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. 1t
would seem safe to say that It should
usually continue longer than is the
case In the average experience of the
farmer. But after the crop gets high
the work of cultivation becomes more
costly, as 1t has to be done with a one
horse cultivator. When thus man.
aged, It may be continued until the
forming of the ears.
The objects sought in such late cul-
tivation are two-fold. The first object
is to maintain the covering of loose
earth so as to prevent evaporation,
and the second is to destroy weeds
that would otherwise mature. Wild
oats. for instance, may terminate at.
ter the usual time for maturing seed
ceases, and the same is true OF mus
tard. A corn crop will not result in
all the benefit that may result from
growing 1t. unless it is kept perfectly
clean.

POULTRY NOTES.

Be sure there are no bad drafts in
the henhouse.
Leaky roofs should be repaired be-
fore fall work begins.
Give the hen the proper material
and she will lay all right.
Some form OF dry animal food is a
satisfactory food for egg production.
Though fowls are primarily grain
eaters, they desire meat food in some
form.
Turkeys are insect hunters, ducks
are grazers. and chickens are grain
eaters.
Learn to handle from so to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more.
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
that can be used.
1t is the little details that make tho
difference between success and failure
in poultry raising.
The presence OF a cockerel with
hens has little effect upon the number
and quality of eggs.
Oil meal is high in protein content
and is most valuable In the fall when
molting Is in process.
II given whole grain, for which they
must scratch among the straw. hens
get necessary exercise.
1t may be truthfully said that, under
the same conditions, eggs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do something toward bal
anclng their own rations, and they
will take more or less exercise II they
have the chance.
Thousands of farmers market their
milk and cream daily; and an appeal
Is made to them to market the eggs
produced daily also.
The quality which is most desirable
in milk and cream for immediate con.
sumption is sweetness. In eggs, the
corresponding quality is freshness.
Keep fresh water, grit. oyster shell
and charcoal before the chicks all the
time. cut grass If they are shut In a
small run, dry wheat bran and finely
ground beef scraps.

Horse knoMIedae.

An old horseman remarked recent.
ly: "If a man wants TO learn about
horses he must learn from horses" A
man to be successful must be with
horses and be a close observer of their
moods, manners and makeup. A colt

ment he is helped to his feet If

stralnt and guidance he will never
