Members of Pirates and Ath-

Skill with Driver.

1t was about three our four years
ago that a crowd of baseball fans in
Philadelphia got the shock .of their
lives. The Athletics and Phillies were
playing M of the spring series pre-
vious to the opening of the regular
season. One or two innings had been
played when a typical April shower
drenched the players and bleacherites.
in a few minutes the field vas in an
unplayable condition. and the game
was called off for the day. The fans
in the bleachers sought shelter in the
grand stand, and then came the sur
prise.
The players. who had disappeared
into the clubhouse. r~eappeared with
golf bags. Then began a series Of
hatr-raising drives and approaches.
Now, most of the fans had heard Of
golf. as they had heard of the fourth
dimension. and they knew as much
about n as the other. The only
thing that saved the day was that the
golfers were all baseball heroes. If
anybody else had come out on a base
ball field with golf clubs and batted
an ~inoffensive golf ball all over the lot
he would have been received with
boots and jeers.

Earl Moore and other big fellows who
count for something in the national
pastime were out there with mashie
and midiron doing great stunts. and
the fans who had begun to jeer re-
manned to praise. The players could
not do much with the wooden clubs
because of the lack of room. But
when Collins teed a golf ball at the
home plate and lifted the ball over
the center-tield fence with an APP

THE POULTRY YARD

Keep little gas-tar on hand and
apply it for scaly legs.
You can tell laying hen as far
as you can see her. Her comb is
always bright and healthy looking.
February Matched chicks are apt
to mott in the fall, and will not be
worth anything for egg production
in winter.
Turkeys more than any other
poultry seem to require fresh air.
They will roost in trees during a
snow-storm and not mind it bit.
Forcing laying hens with stimu-
lants of any kind, except those ma
ture supplies in good food, is a dan
gerous and costly process in the long
run.
Soak stale bread in sweet SKIM
milk, press out the milk as complete
ly as possible, and feed the chicks.
Also keep coarse sand before them !;
without it the chicks can not grind
their food.
Put some oats in box that will
not leak; wet them thoroughly with
warm water, cover them we'll, let
them stand one whole day, then
turn them into box that does not
leak. Keep putting warm water on
them morning and night till sprouts
are well started. Spread them out
thinly, moisten more, and keep this
up till the sprouts are of the required
length. Some folks let them grow
foot long. No finer feast for the
birds than oat sprouts.
Hens will soon be bringing good
prices, and the high price will
tempt many farmers to sell their
hens off too closely. 1t will pay the
average farmer to keep a goodly num-
number of hens the year around
When Matching time comes, if incu-
bators and brooders are not used, it
takes several hens to do the work of
Matching and rearing the chicks, and
we like to have enough others to
keep the egg basket filled. Eggs to
sell every week means a small bill
at the grocery. Can't have the eggs
unless We hold Oh to enough hens.-

TESTING INFERTILE EGGS

When advertising eggs for hatch
ing purposes live poultrymen gen.
orally state that infertiles will be
replaced. Now it often happens
that the novice cannot tell clear
egg from one which the germ has de-
veloped little and then died back,
and frequently such eggs are re-
turned to the breeder as being clear
ones, with the result that lively
correspondence is carried on,
to the discomfort of both parties
concerned. Before returning eggs
as being clear, the buyer should
fully understand how to test eggs
during the process of incubation.
An infertile egg is quite clear
when held before q strong light.
even after 10 days or more of incu.

during incubation will show itself

LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
TAX NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that the Tax
Rolls of Benton County, Washington,

my hands by the County Auditor for
collection, on and after the fifth day of
February, 1912.
Both Real and Personal Property
Taxes for 1911 are due and payable at
the office of the undersigned County
Treasurer, on and after the fifth day of

months after the taxes charged against
real property becomes delinquent the
Treasurer shall, on demand, issue certi-
ficates of delinquency against such real
property.
Property not redeemed within three
years from the date of delinquency is
subject to tax deed.
In this State the description of real
estate are arranged in numerical order
upon the tax rolls, regardless of owner
ship. 1t is therefore necessary that
taxpayers describe in detail all property
on which they wish to pay. Care should
be exercised to give correct description
of property when paying taxes, or ap-
plying for tax statements, and the tax

perty is included and correctly described.
Describe your property every time you

differently and apart from real property
taxes, and if the same are not paid on
or before the 18th of March, the date
of delinquency, the treasurer is required
to notify the sheriff of the county who
shall distrain sufficient goods and chat
tells belonging to the person charged
with such tax, to pay the same together
with all accruing costs.
Interest on delinquent taxesis charged
at the rate of Is per cent per annum
from date of delinquency until paid.
Personal property taxes are lien
upon all real and personal property of
the person assessed, from the date of
assessment until paid.

BEAN AND PEA WEEvIls

These insects appear in the gar
den OF field shortly after the pods
form and lay their eggs in the grow
pods. The maggots from these eggs
enter the seeds. When the peas or
beans are kept for seed the weevils
continue their development and
may remain hidden in the seed until
the next year. If weevily peas or
beans are planted the weevils will
appear the following season to infest
the new crop. Weevily seed is not
necessarily killed by the enclosed
insect, but at all times the germinat-
ing power of the seed is at least i'm
paired. Even if the seed are not
killed the plants are weak and make
little Roadway as compared with
plants from sound seed.
To preventive ( DDS from becoming
stung, only clean seed should be
planted. The weevils in the fields
come from infested legumes. At
harvest all of the crop should be
gathered up. Infested pods should
never be thrown away, but should
be destroyed, best by burning. Seed
peas can be practically freed from
weevils by immersion in pail OF
water. Those that are weevily will
float and can be skinned off. Those
at are sound will sink. Some

RAILROADS EXPECT
LARGE CQlQNlSI Travel

Colonist travel on all lines to
Washington, Oregon, Idaho. and
Montana from eastern points this
spring will be much larger than last
year, according to Howard A. No.
BILE, of St. Paul, general passenger
agent for the Great Northern Rail-
road company, who is in the North
west on his first official visit. Mr..
Noble says:
Business is generally good in
the passenger department, showing
increases over last year. Of course
it is quiet in some spots, but the
the good crops of 1911 gave the far
mers little extra money. Many
inquiries are being received from
persons interested in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
The indications are for heavier
colonist travel this spring. This
is due to the crops of 1911 and to
the advertising through the wes-
tern governors special train which
traversed all over the east. The
land shows also greatly exploited
the country.
Il look for an increased demand
for small farms, 10 to 20 acres,
nearer the larger towns and cities
this year. There is much inquiry
for logged-off lands and tracts that
can be used for dairying and poul-
try raising where small orchards
can be set out. Many working peo-
pie in the east, with small savings,
are making these inquiries and it is
our aim to get these people to come
west and locate. We have our ext
bit car travelling through Indiana
and Ohio now, and instead of hav-
ing it make stops at the larger cities
as heretofore, are having the car
stop at towns of from 500 to 1000.
while it is not definitely set
tied, I look for the establishment
of last years colonist rates, based
on s33 from Chicago to Pacific
Coast points and S25 from St. Panl.
This is one of the matters to be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the
association.

qF1appenings Of Moment to the Man Behind the Pow

times pea can be infested and still
sink. To take care of such it may
be advisable to add a some salt to
the testing water. If enough salt is
adden 80 that the sound peas just
sink, it will be perfectly practical to
tioat out any that are infested.
Another method is to place the
seed in tight compartment and
place a saucer containing carbon
disulphide on top of the seed. This
very volatile and infammable liquid
gives off heavy fumes which will
poison all insect life in the compart-
ment. After twelve hours fumiga-
ton the seed should be aired.
The bean weevil will continue to
breed in stored dried beans, finish
ing its life cycle in from twenty to
eighty days, according to tempera-
ture. Accordingly, beans kept for
seed should be fumigated as soon as
stored. The pea weevil takes one
year for it's propagation. They will
not breed in dry peas. The fumiga-
ton or the floating treatment may
be done just before planting.
