r Man With the Nationals.

Nationals one run behind and snarling
like a cage OF untamed felines.
The last run of the Naplanders in the
eighth was amusing. After John Henry
had made another wonderful catch of
Turner's foul right OF the screen be-
hind him, Fisher doubled to the right
field corner. A wild pitch advanced
him. Knapp breezed for the third time,
but Graney walked. Graney darted for
second and Fisher made for the plate.
So skillfully did Graney hike back and
forth between second and first that the
Nationals failed to get him until Fisher
had crossed the pan and even then they
had to work hard, Elberfeld finally
breaking his backbone with the sphere
Yes. boys, those Nationals looked rather

1t is doubtful II a ball player ever
performed so consistently sensationallly
as has Ty Cobb during the Athletic
Tiger series.
The great outfelder appears to be at
his best in the most important contests,
and his work seems to have completely
unnerved Connie Mack's men.
Cobb has simply run wild on the
bases and has stolen everything but the
catcher's mask. OF course. the absence
of Eddie Collins has greatly weakened

POULTRY NOTES.

The shady hooks are relished by the hens.
 Lime water is a healthy drtnk for young turkeys.
 Let your young chicks have all the sunlight possible.
 Be sure that the ducklings have plenty shade and water.
 A portable poultry house is an ad- mirable arrangement for young tur- keys.
 Kaffir corn Is an excellent ration for poultry if fed in connection with other feeds.
 Cleanliness is an essential sanitary condition for all animals, but particu- larly so for birds.
 Scraps from the kitchen are not very acceptable to turkeys. They like all their food fresh.
 Keep the dust box supplied with nice clean dust. and see that the grit box is never empty.
 It is always undesirable and unnec- essary to feed condiments to hens to stimulate them to lay.
 Do not hold cockerels for market too long after they reach the weight of four or five pounds.
 Oyster shell is absolutely the best shell-making food for the hens. Keep it before them constantly.
 The poultry house should be con- structed with a view to its frequent, easy and thorough cleaning.
 It is best never to attempt to bring turkeys up in the muck yards. or let them associate with old fowls.
 One of the first problems which the poultryman is called upon to solve is the location of the poultry plant.
 A ten dollar rooster Is generally cheaper than a two dollar one. The good blood will tell the second year.
 The ventilation of the poultry house should be provided for in such way that draughts of air will not strike the birds.
 The roost and nest boxes should be movable, so that all parasites which collect upon them may be reached and destroyed.
 The conditions required for the maintenance of health and vigor in a flock of fowls are similar to what are required for other animals.

SAVING MOISTURE, IN SOIL
More Can Be Done in Thirty-six Hours Following Rainfall Than at
 Any Other Time

By W C. PALMER. North Dakota Agri-
 cultural College.
 In the saving of moisture in the soil many of us are a good deal like the rabbit in the fable. in the winter time he was always speaking of build Ing house next summer. When sum- mer came and he was reminded of it. he answered, Every bush is a house now" When a good shower comes we ought to get the moisture into the soil and keep it there. We have no assur- ance that we will have more rain right away; that there will be enough to rip en the crop. to put the soil in good con- dition for blowing. to leave the soil with good moisture content for next spring. More can be done in the 36 hours following rain than at any other time. If the soil is too dry. then save what little moisture Is left. Re member that moisture cannot pass up through loose soil.

tive action of the company is to block out sufficient ore in the mine and to show it's permaneucy for q forty stamp mill. In fact, the mine must show itself to be competent to furnish ore for an indefinite period before the mill is put up. This has been proven beyond doubt and as soon as the 800 level has been reached and the vari- ous cross-cuts and drifts opened up the mill will be forthcoming This, it is expected. will be accom- plished in the next five months.
 The material and receivers for a telephone line from the mine office to the mine, ab ut a mile, is at the of- fee and part ot the wires have been strung In few days this line will be working and will facilitate opera tions greatly.
 Just below the big gold shaft large stone building 3Ox4O has been built with IS inch walls for the aC- commodation of the miners, where cool quarters are assured in summer and a warm and comfortable place in the winter. There is also on the ground lumber for a shaft house at the gold shaft, for which the cement foundation is now being laid.
 The company maintains a corral at York station as at the mine and has several teams of fine mules. At the camp about POO chickens roam about. while four fine milch COWS furnish the boarding house with fresh milch, with green grass to roam on daily. Alto gether this is one of the most ideal spots in the southwest for a mining camp. At the menagarie there are two fierce mountain lynx that could whip half dozen dogs.
 The camp proper has six buildings with many tent houses, including an assay office and laboratory.

NOtWltnStdnOlng the rainy season is supposed to be over, we have had two as hard rainfalls in this vicinity this week as fell at any time during the season. Fortunately very little hay was injured. however.
 Most of the alfalfa farmers have cut their fourth crop of hay and prospects are fair for an excellent fifth.
 School opened in Franklin last Mon- day with Quincy Aker as principal and a good attendance A well is being dug in the school yard and other needed Improvements are un- der headway.
 M.. Campbell owns the first auto in Duncan.
 5. F ~<walt, road supervisor, arriv- ed in the city early in the week with his force of men. He secured road grader in Franklin and is trying it out The roads in this section are in bad condition since they are lower than the fields, making it impossible to keep the water out of them While the fields build up from the deposits of soil carried in by the ditChes the roads beat down.
 The work of Joe Waddle on the old government road from Duncan, east, is said to have put that road in the best shape it has been in for 20 years
 If you will look at your ma D of Ari- zona and New Mexico you will find that only one thing is ncedfui to make the little valley of Greenlee the center of a great section. that is a bridge across the Gila. From and the lower valley directly east. you pass through Dun can and reach Silver City, a distance of 100 miles. It is 300 by rail. From the Mogollon country south, it is D miles overland to Duncan, and POO miles by stage and rail by way of Deming. The Board of Supervisors meet the Fist for the purpo Sc of or de"ng an election to vote on the bridge question. Get every voter to the matter and see if d bridge across the Gila is not a good for Greenlee. Where ever the Gila is known it is ia amous for its treacnernousuess. You can never depend on being able to cross. As an old timer sai5 the other day "it aint navagable river at an."
 Messrs, Evins, Cooper, Aker and were in Clifton the 2Ist on business.
 The school scandal in Duncan is getting unbearable. The patrons are sick of the whole affair. The fight has been drawn out through four long months. Four petitions have been circulated against Wigs, land none for him.. representing 90 per cent of the patrons. It is now in the hands of the lawyers and a proper settle ment is impossible. "Law or no law'' Supt. Aker declares that next Satur. day he is going to get the people of the district together and if d two tnlroS nd Jorlty request nm to en- ploy teacher in Wigs place he is going to it. And il they demand Fay Tor and NewhOuse to resign they will have to do it. McCamet has already resigned and James V. Parks was appointed. ''The trustees,'' he de clares, ''can fight for Wiggs as long as they please. but Wiggs and the school are two distinct things. The three lady teachers are laboring un- der strain and are unable to handle the situation. They must have help, and are going to have it''

man,
'Tll have my life insured, | guess:
/ know it is the safest plan,
To save my children from dis
tres"
And when the morrow came
around,
They placed him gently in a box;
At break of morning he was
found
AS dead as julius Caesars OK.
His widow now is scrubbing,
floors, and washing shirts,
And splitting wood, and doing
fifty other chores.
That she may rear her wailing
brood.

jay,
'Tll take an hour, and make my
will;
And then if | should pass away
The wife and kids will know no

The morrow came, serene and
nice,
The weather mild, with signs Of
rain;
The carless jay was placed on ice,
Embalming fluid in his brain.
Alas, alas, poor careless jayl
The lawyers got his pile Of cash;
His wife is toiling night and day,
To keep the kids in clothes and
hash.
Tomorrow is the ambushed walk
Avoided by the circumspect,
Tomorrow is the fatal rock
On which a million ships are
wrecked.
Enough said. See EGGLEsToN,
