score Of ) to 9. The game was one
Of the most interesting OF the sea-
son and was enjoyed all the more
by the large number of fans pres
ent because Of the fast fielding and
gentlemanly conduct Of the visit
ING players.
The fielding of both clubs was
clean and fast. Newark had re.
constructed outfield and it made a
GOOD showing. "Bob' Montgom-
cry was moved to left field and
Geohegan played centre and
"Nic' Willis right. Geohegan
played a good fielding game and
also made a two base hit which
drove in two runs. Murray pitched
gilt edge ball for Newark, while
Mcintyre. with the exception Of
the sixth inning. also did well for
the visitors. Newark won by time
lv batting in the sixth inning
when five Of the nine hits We're
made. The score follows:

Tri- County League Notes.

Other scores in the Tri-county
League last Saturday were as fol-
lows: Elkton, i; Aberdeen. 0. Elk
Mills, = North East, 4. Port De-
post. =; Havre de Grace. l.
Newark goes to Oxford next
Saturday and Aberdeen will play
on the local grounds for the first
time Saturday Of next week.
"Billy' johnson is finding his
batting eye and the former Elkton
boy also put up a fast game in the
field last Saturday.
One Of the players is of the
opinion that it will be long time
before Newark loses three in row
again.
"Dick' Morris played a swell
game at short. but fell down on an
easy one.
Geohegan looks like a sticker
and it would not be bad idea to
let the Delaware College boy stay
in the outfield except when he
pitches.
Kirk. who covered left field for
Oxford. is the most finished out
fielder that has played on the local
grounds this season. although he
misjudged a fly in the first inning
that cost a run.
Captain Wilson. third baseman
of the Havre Gle Grace team. may
be rowdy. but to give him his
due he is also a good player.
If the Newark players would
get some of Wilson's "pep." it
would mean livelier games.
"Vic' Willis probably needs
more sweating out before he can
strike anything like his former
gait. Even now the big fellow
can win all the games he pitches
if the team will play the ball that
it is capable of.
What wins baseball games is
mostly the unexpected. 1t is hard
to pull off play successfully
when the opposing team is looking
for that particular play.
The two days practice each
week if strictly adhered TO will
strengthen the club 30 per cent.
Del" Willis accepted Il
chances at first without an error.

Newark Field Club of the Penn
Mar League defeated the Apple

Decoration Day afternoon by the
score of 16 to 4 and on Saturday
went to Elkton and again won by
the score Of 3 to |. This gives
Newark Field Club four victories
and two defeats, percentage Of
.667.
The club had the best team in
the field at Elkton that it has
lined up this season and if the
same team is kept together, it
should be able to capture the pen
nant. Null was in great form and
allowed but two hits. The score

Disgraceful Scene.

The afternoon game on Decora-
ton Day was somewhat marrea
by a disgraceful scene on the part
Of several Havre de Grace players
The principal offenders were Cap
tain Wilson and first baseman
Richardson. In the third inning
Roberts hit for two sacks ana
Wilson made kick to Umpire
Seth, claiming Roberts cut first
using some vile language in doing
50. The umpire fined him So and
put him out Of the game, when
Richardson ran up and attempted
to hit the official and also used
more indecent language. After
about fifteen minutes wrangling,
the two players were allowed TO
get in the game again. Captain
Wilson had wrangle with I'm.
pire Seth before the game over the
game not being started at 3.y
o'clock promptly, and no doubt
felt little sore at him. There i
rule which says games shall bf
started at $50 o'clock, but it doe
not provide that the home team
shall forfeit the game. 1t seem
that Wilson and Richardson hav'
gained a reputation all over tn
circuit for rowdvism and tn
sooner it is stopped the better ]
will he for baseball.

Corn Picker In Action.

farmers are more than ever in need
of machine which will husk the corn
from the standing stalks-a machine
which will do the work of several men.
Heretofore, about an acre was con-
sidered an average days work for one
man. A corn picker, however, will
husk several times this number OF
acres. A corn picker will, however,
not only do the work OF several men,
but 1t will deliver the ear corn to the
wagon in much better condition than
is done ordinarily when husking by
hand.
The corn picker is not ,he inspira-
ton of a minute. It is the work OF
years. While necessity was the mother
of its invention, yet it was hard work
that overcame the difficulties that con-
fronted the designers Of this machine.
One by one these difficulties have been
overcome, and the machine is now
perfected so that it does a very high
class of work.

WHEN MAKING NOODLES
FOR BEST RESULTS, TRY THESE
APPROVED RECIPES.
Little Accessories That Give Flavor to
the Soup Are Well Worthy Of
Attentlon-How Some Han
die the Dough.

The following recipes represent the
experience of several noodle makers,
as described by them:
Noodle Soup.-Boil small shank of
beef for three hours, strain of liquor,
return to the pot, and add salt. Make
noodles by rubbing into one egg as
much -four as 1t will take, then roll
out as thin as a wafer Dust over a
little flour and then roll. Cut off thin
slices from the edge Of the roll and
shake out into long strips. Drop light
ly into soup and let 1t boil for ten min
utes after they are put in. About q
saltspoon of salt should be added while
mixing In the flour.
Bread Noodles.-One egg, one table
spoon Of water, pinch Of salt, one-half
cup flour, or enough to thicken. Put
scant one-half cup of flour in a bowl
and break into 1t an egg. Add water,
stir all we'll together and add more
-four until thick dough is formed,
then roll out to a thin sheet and let
dry few minutes. Dredge with lit
tie flour, roll up and cut into broad
strips and lay them straight to dry.
Drop in boiling water with pinch of
salt and boil for twenty minutes. Drain
In colander, put in dish, and cover with
Drowned bread crumbs and little
butter.
NoodIes.-One egg, one-fourth tea
spoon Of salt, threefourths cup of
flour. Beat the egg, add salt, and add
the -four to make a stiff dough-three-
fourths of cup is usually sufficient.
Roll out on Toured board till as thin
as wafer and leave on board to dry
while soup is cooking. Then cut up in
little thin strips and drop in boiling
stock. Let boil about thirty minutes.
Some cooks after rolling out their
noodle dough- hang 1t over roller or
over a clean cloth on broomstick to
dry. OF course eggs are in different
sizes, so it is impossible to tell the
exact amount of -four that any one egg
will require.

The farmers of Denmark secure the
best prices for their fancy bacon for
the reason that they have established
small packing establishments where
they can haul their hogs and get their
pay for the hogs according to their
actual worth. How different from the
system, or lack of system, in this
country, where we are compelled to
take just what the packing house oper-
ators are mind to pay us for our
hogs. Will the time ever come when
our farmers can see the great benefits
to be derived from cooperation?
Roughage is one Of the most impor-
tant factors in wintering the brood
sows, and If they do not get enough
coarse food they will not do well. Corn
and milk are well balanced as diet,
but there should be something added
to distend the organs or digestion.
Then again, brood sows will keep
more quiet and contented If they are
given alfalfa, clover or some kind Of
roughage to work over during the day.
Good corn stover is better than moth
ing and the sows will work 1t over and
eat large quantities of 1t every day.

very helpful. About all we can do Is
ia feed ration that can be easily d.
gested and keep them in clean quar-
tiers, thoroughly disinfect the pens and
let the disease run its course.
Whole milk is one Of the best feeds
for hogs that are suffering with dis
ease of any kind. 1t is an excellent
feed and has often been Of great as
sistance in bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn Is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought about by feeding
ration that is composed of less than
two-thirds corn. 1t is mistake to
think we cannot afford to buy other
feeds to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily it Is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
See that the hogs have comfortable
quarters-now and the months to
come. Failure here will impair the
usefulness of the herd.
Hogs will make from 10 to IL
pounds of meat, live weight, for each
bushel of corn eaten, but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced SCOUTS in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.
When the SOW of good type has
proven herself prolific breeder, an
economical feeder, and good mother,
it is a good plan to keep her several
years.
The mature SOW requires only food
for maintenance while the growing ONE
needs food fer growth. Furthermore
the older one will have an appetite fol
waste that a young one would not care
for.
Exercise will help make that streak
of lean and streak Of fat that is de
sired.

the middle Of June will make better
money for his feed than he will on any
bunch of pigs that he feeds during
the year.
Do not be afraid to give shoats plen-
ty of range during the winter, provid-
ing, Of course, that you have good, dry
sleeping places and warm houses to
shelter them during the extremely cold

On each and every farm there should
be some provision made for dipping
hogs. This not only proves to be an
easy and effectual way Of disinfecting
animals which are brought on the
farm, but it also keeps them free from
lice.
Possibly there is no other farm ami.
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
is an Improbable animal any way you
take him.
As an economical pork producer he
is failure. Even his ability to shift
for himself does not recommend him
to the people within the limit of his
range as he has the reputation Of prey
ing upon neighboring corn fields when
food is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living since he is long
legged, narrow in the chest, has a
long, narrow snout. This adapts him
T to his manner of living. With the
scrub hog it is root hog or die" hence
the long snout. His narrow body aids
him in getting through small fence
cracks and if he fails to find place
large enough to go through the fence
he can soon dig under it with his long
snout
There is no standard Of excellence
for the scrub hog since he may pos
sess almost any form except beauti
full one; he may be of any color.
He has the reputation Of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re
sist disease better than the improved
breeds Of hogs. We very much
doubt whether this quality attributed
to the scrub hog is true since we have
noticed that hog cholera takes th'
scrubs as we'll as the well-bred hog.
One thing is sure, that the scrub hoI
can consume more valuable feed ant
give less in return than any othe
animal that we know of.
A farmer who owns a herd of scruI
hogs seldom needs any other corn cri
than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, an
