The game at Rising Sun on Saturday was
won by the home team in the first inning
when twelve runs were scored and batting
averages fattened. The visitors could not hit
Effng with effect, but two men getting as far
as third during the entire game. They
secured but three safe hits, Biddle getting
two of them, one of his hits being for three
bases. The game was too one-sided to be of
interest. The score:

POTASH FOR WHEAT.

There is an impression among the
farmers generally that a fertilizer
should be especially rich in potash.
One cause of this is no doubt from
the marked effect that wood ashes has
on most soils.
A liberal application of wood ashes
shows an improvement in crop produc-
ton on almost any soil.
This is usually attributed to the pot
ash contained in the ashes.
An analysis Of the ashes usually
shows from four to FIVE times as much
lime as potash in the ashes, since wood
ashes usually contain from five to eight
per cent of potash, 35 to 40 per cert
of lime and about two per cent Of phos-
phoric acid.
The marked effect that wood ashes
has on almost all plants of the leg
luminous family seems to indicate that
the lime in the ashes has more infiu-
ence in making the ashes valuable as a
fertilizer than the potash does.
Last year our fertilizer dealer put
in bag of fertilizer containing 10 per
cent of phosphoric acid and six per cent
of potash at the same price as the goods
/ was buying which was a IA per cent
available phosphoric acid goods on con-
dition that would use ii on wheat and
compare them, side by side.
1 put the bag of fertilizer which con-
tanned the potash in my grain drill and

when ii run out 1 continued with the
superphosphate containing IA per cent
available phosphoric acid without
changing the quantity per acre.
There was no preceptible difference
in the growth of the wheat during the
growing season. The wheat ripened By
June 25th. There was no difference
in the time of ripening. 1 could see
little or any difference between she
wheat with and that without the
potash.
showed the wheat to several farm
ers and all agreed that if there was any
difference between the two plats that
it was in favor of the wheat where the
IA per cent phosphoric acid without pot
ash was applied.
1 have not threshed and cannot give
exact results, but it is plain lsase
that the $500 per ton which 1 would
have had to pay for the potash would
have been a clear loss so far as results
on the wheat crop was concerned.
Both kinds of fertilizer were used
so that both plats extended over aark
loamy soil with some sand at one END
and rather stiff yellowish clay soil
at the other end.
1t is usually considered that a loamy
soil is not as well supplied with pot
ash as clay soil. yet the potash APP
piled did not show any Improvement
over the other fertilizer IN the loamy
soil.

AMERICUS, Ga, Oct. 7.-Three miles

farm which has undergone. a wonderful
transformation during three years. That
long ago it was an ordinary old pIanta-

had felt the effect of modern science in
agriculture.
The place contains $50 acres, and was
formerly the Bird place.
About that long ago Mr.. Howard was
pulling the bellcord on a Seaboard freight
train, and his knowledge of farming COM
pared favorably with what he knew of
aeroplaning or the management of a
comic opera company.
But he switched from the Seaboard and
bought the Bird farm. Nor has he re-

place and inspected them. 1t beat rail-

After the second year of successful
farming Walt Howard refused cash

twice the sum he paid for it, and more,
but he was making money, and idn't

-SCOURS IN CALVES

double blindness is sometimes brought
on.
10 prevent scours IN calves, proper
care shoulasb given to the mother while
pregnant, that she may be able to give
birth to healthy calf.
AS scours is germ disease. 1t is inn
portant that the calf be free from this
disease when born.
Cows afflicted with the disease of
abortion convey this disease to their off
spring.
1t is for this reason that calves so
often die of scours before they have
taken nourishment.
1t is therefore very necessary that
the COW be kept free from disease in
order to obtain healthy calves
Calves born AFFLICTED with the germs
of this disease in their system are in
position to spread the disease to other
calves that they may come in contact
with in the same herd, or if shipped to
other herds. This is another PROOF OF
its infectious nature.
To prevent and overcome scours in
calves, they should be given medicines
that prevent fermentation of food to
allay irritation and congestion, soothe
and heal inf1amed mucous membrane,
act as an antiseptic, as this is quite
necessary when the disease is due to
germ.
The most important factor in the
raising of cattle is their care while
young. DO not think you are doing the
correct thing if you are only managing
to keep the life in the calf until it is
three months old, and then have it get
fat on grass before the winter comes.
If you do this. you will be apt to
have a lot of stunted calves with their
digestive organs destroyed which will
never make strong, healthy cattle, and
will not be good for either dairy, beef
or breeding animals.-Dr. David Rob-
erts.

Soours in calves or. calf cholera in

Of it's own, taking the form of infec-
tious intestinal catarrh which is far
more serious than the diarrhea of the
full grown animal.
Scours in calves generally appear sud
denly A perfectly healthy calf may be
seized all at once, apparently, without
any change In food or care.
The symptoms of this infantile diar-
rhea usually appear during the first two
or three weeks of life.
In many cases scours appear within a
few hours after the animal is born. and
the calf may die within from "a hours
unless it receives prompt and proper
treatment.
1t is common for the calf to be af-
fiicted with scours Immediately at birth,
even before it has had time to suck or
take any nourishment whatever.
The faces of manure is very thin
and watery. 1t has a sour, disagree
able odor and is usually light colored.
The excavations are frequent and ex-
PEELED with force.
The first indication of scours is the
soiled condition of the tail, loss of appe-
tite, sunken eyes, sometimes the saliva
flowing from the mouth, no attempt be-
ing made to swallow.
They have staring coat, grow thin,
and lose strength rapidly.
Death usually follows in from IL to "a

to check the disease.

led by congestion and liberation of the
