Hints farmers Should Observe


The golden text for June is keep
the soil stirred"
II you want to kill weeds, cultivate
or hoe them when the sun shines hot.
The trouble with honey bee is that
it doesn't carry honey at both ends.
No; lime is not good for potatoes; ii
favors scab. So does too much stable
manure.
Now, please don't let the mower
rattle all to pieces. Keep it well oiled
and every nut screwed up tightly, and
don't let the knives or guards get dull.
Remember, brother farmer, that the
hot weather and hard work tax the
strength of your wife, She will enjoy
going to the store with you and riding
slowly home in the cool OF the evening.
To keep moles from bed, sink a
close mesh wire netting foot wide in
to the soil around, allowing it TO extend
abour two inches above the surface.
If you have no netting use boards.
Either will prevent the entrance OF
moles into the bed.
The harvest season is the most trying
of the year. There is so much to be
done, so little time to do it in and so
few hands to accomplish it, that we are
often at our wit'send. Let us, how
ever, have care lest we attempt too
much, and lest we put too great bur
den on the wife and daughter. The
sanitariums are filled with men and wo-
men who have broken down from work
and worry at middle life. The utmost
we can hope to gain is not worth such
a fearful sacrifice.
Cut clover hay when about half the
blossoms are brown; cut timothy hay
just as the bloom is falling. Curing
clover: Cut it as soon as the dew is OF
in the morning. At noon shake out
the punches, rake into windows before
the evening dews get on it. Next day
shake out the hay as soon as the dew is
off. You ought to be ready to haul on
hot day, by eleven o'clock, or certainly
after dinner. 1t spoils clover hay to
get it too dry. 1t should never be put
into the barn when wet with rain or
dew; but a little sap won't hurt it.
Curing timothy: If the crop is not too
heavy and rank, cut as soon as the dew
is off, let it cure few hours, rake into
windows, and haul TO the barn the
same day. If the crop is rank, cut it
in the afternoon; it will wilt some dur
ing the night and dew will not hurt it.
Next days sun will dry il out in a few
hours, when it can be raked into wind
rows; haul it to the barn in the early
afternoon.

TEACHING BOYS TO WORK
Some Suggestions Made for the Modern
American Youth

American Youth
1t is possible that we are about to
have a reaction from so much of this
hapdoodle which has been talked in the
wake of Froebel with Joy" and EN-
thusiasm?" The speech of DR.. John
Elliot, the other day, before the feder-
alton of child study at the Ethical Gull
ture building in Manhattan, held out a
CLEAN of hope that the idealists are now
beginning to show common sense about
fitting children for the world they will
have to work in.
DR.. Elliot began his talk with the
story of a boy whose teachings very
likely started under the Joy and enthusi-
asm banners. DR.. Elliott asked this boy
what he considered a good job and got
the prompt reply: "One where you can
sit down good deal" The DR.. added
that the people in the alcoholic and in
sane wards OF the hospitals are the peo-
pie who have been sitting down a good
deal, and that it is our business to train
children for something better. The
first step to that end he believed to be
teaching them their responsibility as
members of family and that it is their
business to carry their share OF the
family load In respect to such train
ing the children of the poor are, or at
least may be, far better off than the
children of the rich. He admitted that
the children of the poor are often made
10 carry more than their share Of the
load, but it is better to carry too much
than never to carry any.
Then DR.. Elliot said another terribly
true thing which parents associations
may we'll ponder. That is the the public
standard is more important for the child
than even the standard of the father
and mother. What your child will
learn and what he will do will not be
what you say and what you are doing,
but what the boys and girls he is with
are doing" For a time parents can
regulate that by bringing their children's
playfellows into their own homes, in
teresting them tactfully in wholesome
ideas and discovering and wedding out
the undesirables. But there comes a
time when the standards of a boys Office,
of his college or his fraternity have more
influence upon his conduct than those
of his home. AS DR.. Elliott put it:
1t is not the kind of work he does, but
the kind of man he works under that is
important. DR.. Elliot added another
thing which being preached into the
camp of idealist, carries hope that com
mon sense may again resume its nor
NAL sway over education. He said:
And let him put into everything
that he does the best that is in him to
the day OF his death. That is the es-
sential to teach. Get away from the
dilletante will; that is the keynote of
the new ethics, the new religion"
Earnestness and devotion to duty
have been the keynote Of the old ethics
and the old religion for at least two
thousand years, but if the new ethicals,
who imagined they had found some
thing better, are coming back to that
cornerstone so much the better for them
and the rest Of us. Brooklyn Eagle.

est fought and one Of the best that has
been played in a long time. Neither team
used mean or low tactics, and there is no
reason why the frlendliest relations

Coach Percy Haughton of Harvard said /:
THE best team won.'
That surely was a sportsman's remark,
for to the writer, while not taking any
credit away from Princeton, their touch
down looked very fluky. But for that one
play the Crimson would have won. They
really played a better game than Prince

fact. The goddess OF fate and the Tigers

But at all events the outlook for a con-
tinuation of Harvard Princeton foot ball
relations is distinctly bright. The under
graduates Of both universities liked the
last game and want another one each
season. Princeton frankly admits de-
sire to continue the relations. and the
only source OF opposition is a certain
coterie of Harvard alumni, who opposed
the match for years.

ny w. w. NAUGHTON,


SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1S.-That Aus
tralian Hugh Mcintosh improved on his
original offers to Sam Langford, Perky
Flynn, Cyclone Johnny Thompson and
one or two more was made evident by
the feverish rush of these fighters to
connect with the Australian steamer at
Vancouver a couple of weeks ago.
That Mcintosh needed the services of
the American "pugsr badly was sug-
gested by the fact that, IL necessary,
the big steamer would have been held, or
slowed down, in order to allow the bruis-
ers to get aboard.
The fighting situation in Sydney is
about as follows:
They are as far into the summer as We
are into the winter-the seasons being OPP

at his Rushcutter's Bay stadium.
MAC" who received great welcome
when he returned 10 sydney. told his
friends that he had arranged with all
the notables Of the fighting guild to APP
pear in orthodox ring. contests at his
big roofless arena. Before leaving Eng
land Mac" with the help of an 'Ameri-
can agent, made contracts with the
champions and near-champions of every
division, and if all the men who promised
to take the trip had kept their words we
would have had to pneatth Sam Pruitt,
Beer Unholtz, Percy Cove, Tanglefoot
McGovern and few more to keep the
fun going at this end.
But, after Mcintosh sailed for home.
the Frawley law was passed and other

Australian attraction. First. AL Kauf-
man. decided not to go, then Flynn. They
dropped, away one by one, in fact. Even
Jack johnson, on whose good faith in
the connection Mcintosh secured $4,000
insurance from Lloyds of London, gave
out that he preferred retirement to a trip
across the ocean.
This latter was the unkindest cut Of all,
as Mack expected to use the champion
as a bellwether. First of all, each of the
transpacific pilgrims was to be assured
number OF matches and the chance of
crack at johnson and the champion
ship was to be his IL he worked his way
up to it..
When Mcintosh began to start the
works at his summer stadium the only
new arrival at his disposal was Sam
McVea. Sam was sent against Jack
Lester and Bill Lang in turn and whipped
them both. Then the situation became
desperate. The cable was brought into
requisition and the hurried flight to Van
couver of Langford. Perky and others
was the result.
It is understood that Langford has
been guaranteed six matches and that
similar terms have been made in the
case of Flynn. 1t will be easy enough
for the head of McIntosh's match making
bureau to scare up opponents for G..
Flynn, as there are quite a number OF
second and third rate heavies around

Pugs Rush to Australia

Samuel Langford one wonders where the
six matches are to come from.
At the present time Bill Lang is ac-
knowledged to be the best Of the native
born Australians. Bill was defeated by
Sam Langford i'm London and by Jack
Lester and Sam McVea since his return
to Australia. There is reason for be-
lleving that Lang is on the down grade
physically. They have no other man fit
to take his place as an Australian repre-
sentative.
A few months ago II was predicted
that Bill Turner, known as the champion
OF Tasmania, would defeat both Lang
and Lester, but Turner faded away. Not
so many weeks ago he went under in
the third round of a contest with Jack
Howard. a Sydney boxer with no pre-
tensions to class and now Turner'S name
IS never mentioned
Jack Lester, who defeated Lang, has
been defeated by Sam McVea, who
fought a twenty-round draw with Sam
Langford in Paris. Under the circum-
stances It cannot be seen that the sgd
ney sports, fight hungry though they
may be, can be got to regard a Lang
ford-Lester bout as an event of promise.
newly arrived Australian sporting man
says he does not see where Sam Lang
ford's six fights are to come from unless
ne fights McVea six times.
They have the repeating habit though,
in Australia, and Mcintosh who knows
mis- business thoroughly, will handle
Langford so that certain degree of i'm
terest will attach to each of Sans APP
)earances. First of all IL Lang can be
patched up, he WILL in all probability
be troeted out as an opponent for Lang
ford.
Mcintosh, who has always been a
strong believer in Bnl's fighting prowess,
and who held that Lang was turning
the tables on Langford in London. when
the unfortunate foul caused the Austral-
ian to be disqualified. will contrive to
make the result of this match seem
doubtful
When Langford defeats Lang, as he
surely will, Lester the man who defeated
Lang will be signed with the Tar Baby
and after that is all over, there will
be little excuse for delaying the day of
reckoning between the two Sams-McVea
and Langford.
III Langford insists on his six matches,
Cyclone Johnny Thompson may oblige,
The Cyclone went on the same steamer
with Langford, and anyone who. knows
Johnny knows that the size Of his OPP
ponent does not bother him at all. He
would JUST as soon tackle Langford as
Packy Mcfarland.
1t. may be that Dave Smith, the Aus
tralian middieweight champion. will be-
sent to the front as a customer for Lang
ford,-but no matter how the six match
program is carried through, the grand
finale will be furnished by two negroes.
And If Johnson still adheres to his no
tons about retirement, Mcintosh will, of
course, advertise the Mcvea-Langford
go as fight for the worlds champion
ship.

Hilton Repudiates
Reports Inimical to
American Golfers


LONDON, Nov. ls.-slnce II. II. Hilton
won the golf championship In America
the English papers have accused Ameri-
can crowds at golf matches OF lack of
sportsmanship. being rowdy and bolster
Gus, and trying to rattle foreign players.
mr.. Hilton writes to the Westminster
Sasette to correct these decisions. He
SAYS:
The crowds were well conducted; per-
haps made b little too much noise to be
quito in Keeping with a golf match, but
this was due 10 their enthusiasm and
patriotism, for they never did anything
with the slightest intention OF interfering
with my chances Of success.
When the championship was over no
crowd could have given a player a more
enthusiastic reception than the American
crowd gave 20 me at .Apawamis. The
American. IL more demonstrative, and
parhaps a good deal more ignorant OF the
game, and It's traditions. than the average
Britisher certainly knows how to take
defeat as a sportsman quite as well as
tho golfers on this side.
The reports have heard of noisy. dis.
graceful behavior OF American spectators
are grossly unjust and unfair As true
american golfers are quite aware, the
crowd at their own meetings does not be-
have itself with quite the same dignity
and restraint that Is TO be found in our
better class crowds on this side. But
they are doing their utmost TO educate
the masses to the customs and traditions
Of the game as played ON this side"
Mr.. Hilton strongly advocates the adop-
ton OF the American system OF using
megaphones TO keep the crowd off the
course. ana says the crowd at Apawamis
was managed infinitely better than mos,
