Heavy hitters of the past and pres

Brouthers. the veteran slugger. ex-
when he said the bat makes little diff

comfortable and the owner looks upon

1t can be well added that the style
of the batter sometimes has little TO
do with his hitting. whether IT he the
choke effect invented by Willie Keller

the mistake of copying the style OF

It used TO be said Of Larry LaiOie
that he could hit the ball mile with

not particular about the Gail he used

the hard hitters make their long drives

AS an active advocate of the lnsti.
tuition Of marriage Parson Burroughs
Is entitled to some distinction. He
has unquestionably done more to fos-
ter connubial society than any other
man In the south or the country. He
naturally feels proud of his unique
distinction and continues his work In

conscious of the belief that he Is rem
dering society a great service.
Psrson Burroughs was formerly al
lowed to marry persons as young as
13 years. The law IN Tennessee has
since been changed, however, making
the legal age 16 years. He believes it
is better for minors TO marry accord
ing to the dictates of their own hearts
than to respond to parental dictation
when that dictation is absolutely con
trary to the wishes OF their young
lives. The record of his marriages,
he says, will bear him out In this
assertion. Out of the many hundreds
of couples married by him in oppesi-
tlen to the wishes of their parents, so
far as he has been able to trace not
more than five divorces have resulted.
The per cent Of divorces in parent
made marriages is very much larger.
He says that If parents were more
oOnsidorate Of the desires or the hearts
OF their children In SO important d
matter as the affections there would
be less and less Of the now growing
evil OF divorce.

HARVESTING AND THREsHING
Barley Needs the Most Careful Han
ding.
10y L. r. Zerbel.)

(6y L. II. ZefoeI.)
Great attention should be given to
the harvesting and threshing Of bar
ley. Too little care has been bestowed
upon this important operation as a
great deal Of barley has been damaged
by dew and rain or by improper hand
ling Of some kind, therefore, the sell
Ing value has deprecated materially.
An important part is the time to
harvest. To obtain the best results
barley should never be cut until it is
good and ripe. often barley is cut too
green or not fully matured which will
make for mailing purposes a flinty
malt, lacking in color and flavor. 1t is
also important not to leave barley un.
cut after 1t is ripe as it will discolor
easily by dew at that stage.
Barley Color important.
The value of barley for mailing
purposes depends on the color and
soundness, also on the test Of germina.
ton as all mailing barley must be
sprouted in the malthouse and prices
are paid for it accordingly, therefore

1t is best to build medium sized
stacks. about seven good loads makes
a stack of proper size.
Leave Air Space.
Stacks should not be built too close
together, but should have space
enough between them so that the air
can circulate freely between them
which we find is great help in cur
ing the grain for threshing.
Care and good judgment should be
exercised at the time OF threshtng,
especially If the grain is dry. The
concaves in the machine should not
be set too close. 1t is often necessary
to take out some Of the teeth from
the concaves. The speed Of the ma
chine should be reduced so that the
kernels are not broken nor the boards
clipped off too close to the kernels.
which is detrimental to proper ger.
mination.
Maltsters and threshermen know
this as leaving the barley somewhat
'leggy." The beard should not be
clipped off closer than one-eighth inch
from the tip of the berry.

not overly optimistic when say that
the question is bound to go through

l feel that Iowa has walked up and
that the politicians have walked up to
the fact that the temperance ques-
ton is the paramount question be-
fore the people in Iowa this year.
Those who do not believe in direct
temperance legislation do believe
that the people should have the right
to say what should go into the con-
stitution of the state and for that
reason favor resubmission of the
amendment to the electors. ! do not
believe that in thirty years have the
people been so unanimous in their
opinion for constitutional temperance
as they are this year"
