The Harrow and the
Meeder in the
COrnfield

Twenty-Five years ago Their
was a great deal said in the ag
ricultural papers about harrow
ing corn. Some said: Harrow
till your neighbor thinks you ar
a fool,l and then harrow SOM
more. Others said: Keep thu
harrow out. When the hors'
weeder was introduced, some sait
it was the acme of perfection
others that it was no good at all
And they were all right in
way. We know of no tool thai
can do as much execution in the
way of killing weeds as the right
kind of a harrow, properly used
at the right time, unless it be the
horse weeder, which under the
same conditions, can do about
twice as much as the harrow; but
both harrow and weeder must be
used with good sense and at the
proper time.
The first harrow we used was
a ''V-shaped," about the width
of the corn rows, with the front
tooth taken out, and with stick
with a rope at each end fastened
to the rear end of the ~" The
corn was planted, and we let the
weeds get a start; but as soon as
the corn was up we went over it
with this kind of a harrow, and
it was very effective. The teeth
were large and straight, but
needed to be so, because in those
early days it was not possible to
prepare a seed bed as we can
now, for lack of the proper tools.
On weedy ground, if it is pos
sible to harrow the corn before it
is up, we know of no better way
of putting in time, provided the
land is in the proper condition
and the sun is shining. The OBJ
ject of this narrowing, aside
from preparing a dirt mulch and
preventing the escape of moist
ure, is to kill weeds I'm the
white" that is, when they are
just coming up, and the white
roots are lying on top of the
ground.
To harrow when the land is
wet will not kill weeds. With
that peculiar vitality which be-
longs to the wicked and the evil,
they would simply start to grow
again. The same thing would
result if the day was cloudy. Our
orders when a boy were always
to quit half an hour before sum
down when narrowing corn, for
the simple reason that there was
not enough sun to kill the weeds,
which die quickly in theis tender
youth if exposed to the hot sun,
but have strange vitality if har.
rowed after the dew begins to
fall.
1t is dangerous to harrow corn
when it is just coming up; but
under proper conditions it can be
narrowed when it is two or
three inches high, with very lit
tie loss and often to great adj
vantage. The slanting tooth
harrow is a very great improve
ment over the old-fashioned
tooth or so-called Scotch
harrow.
There is no implement invent
ed, of which we have any knowl-
edge, that can do as much execu-
ton on the weeds as a horse
weeder. A boy can go over 30
acres of corn that is up three or
four and often six inches high
but always after the dew is off
and the sun hot, and if the seed
bed is we'll prepared, and the
weeds are ANNALS, he can do
quite as much good as two men
with the harrow. 1t is quite
useless, however, to use a weeder
when the ground is wet. If you
want to kill these young weeds,

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA

When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, 1t came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes. and on her chin, then after few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething

ment at the drug store. did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

a long time to get at the root Of the
misunderstanding, over which they
whispered in corners and because Of
which they treated her like a bitter
enemy. At last, however, she drew
from the most pliable youngster this
indignant, fearful admission:
I'VE amt a-goin' ter study no more

ERRORS OF MANAGERS
often Turn Down Players Who
Later Become Stars.
Ward Miller, Secured by Cubs for
$500, Now Held at $4,000 by Mon
treaI cIub--HItting Above
800 Mark.

Some OF the men who buy and sell
ball players certainly do have some
bad half hours. What would you think
If you had purchased ball player for
$500, had sold him for $500 and then
wanted him back ana was asked $1,000
and several players? Wouldn't you
feel like swearing?
A couple of years ago fellow
named Ward Miller became the prop
erty Of the Chicago team-was drafted
from small minor league and cost
$500. Manager Chance looked him
over and figured he wasn't quite right.
He asked for waiver, and the Pirates
refused to allow him to go. That was
in the days when you lad to sell
man for whom you asked waivers
no pulling back Miller went to the
Pirates, Clarke looked him over. After
a while he decided Miller wouldn't do.
and the latter went to Cincinnati on
a trade that made Blaine Durbin, the
former Cub pitcher, Pirate.
Clark Griffith looked over Miller and
backed the judgment of Chance and
Clarke. He figured Miller would not
do in the majors, and he went to the
Eastern league. Well, this year Mil
Ter struck his stride. He is hitting
over 800 for the Montreal club and
running the bases like wild man.

look him over. Hun wired President
Murphy that Miller could be secured
for $1,000 and two players.

be they will come down." was MUIR
phys answer by wire to his scout The
next day the Cub president received
an answer. 1t read like this: Price
has gone up-now they want 100000"
and the telegram was signed HUH.
Catch the first train or they'll boost
the price to $4,000" were the instruc-
tions OF President Murphy. Don't you
suppose the Cub magnate feels like
bottling himself when he thinks of
the time when he HAD this fellow at
cost of $500?
And these same baseball men Will
give you warm time Ii you attempt
to convince them that O'Toole, the ST.
Paul pitcher, cost Barney Dreyfuss
$22,5OO in real money. Here's one that
President Comiskey Of the Sox tells
on Joe Cantillon. Joe, 1t will be re-
membered, was formerly the manager
OF the Washington team in the Amer
lean league and then went to Mime
apolis to boss that team.
Joe had heard that somebody had
offered Lennon $4,000 for O'Toole."
said President Comiskey. 80 the next
time that ole saw Lennon he opened
on him: I understand that you have
been offered $4,000 for O'Toop.' said
Joe Yes, was Lemons reply. Well,
l guess I'm the biggest fool of ALL
said Joe. In the first place | didn't
know there was anybody in baseball
so crazy as to offer that much money
for any ball player. And, in the next
place, / would have sworn there was
nobody in baseball crazy enough to
have turned down such an offer, once
he had it,"
Which shows you that the fans were
not the only ones to gasp at the price.
Even practical baseball men had
difficult time believing that any mag
nate would separate himself from that
amount of money for ball player.
