sHI HIP AND WELL,

 OLD BASEBALL FANS. $

Tn an article on baseball fans in the August American Magazine, Hugh S. Fullerton writes as follows about two famous old baseball fans:
 There are few of the noted fans now, chiefly because the papers sell ist. Tn the old days almost every club had one Or two such followers. Prob ably the best known was Hi Hi This was General Dixwell, of Boston, who for many years followed the fortunes of the famous old Boston club He is wealthy, intellectual and a cultured gentleman who became completely ab- sorbed in baseball. He followed the team wherever it went and became a familiar figure all over the country. He occupied a front seat in the stands, kept a careful score and studied the game with a. seriousness that was ap- palling. He maintained a deepsilence during almost all the game but when a really great play was made he emit and then dropped into silence again. He quit attending baseball games years ago but still continues his deep interest in the sport, and in his apart ments he keeps a wonderful set of books showing the averages of players for many baseball generations.

 ''St Louis, in the days of Chris von der Ahe, had a character, a German, who was one of the pests of baseball. The stand in those days was sepa- rated from the playing field by a race track and an iron picket fence By the second inning the German fan us- ually had climbed out of the stand into the track and by the third he was holding to the pickets with both hands, his neck thrust between them, bawling at the umpire. One day Clements was catching and Tim Hurst the inimitable, was umpiring. The German fan had grown unbearable. Finally Hurst said to Clements:

GUARANTEEING AGAINST
 THE HOOKWORM.

A new and rather interesting phase of the hookworTn problem has come to the front in San Francisco. After the discovery of the wide prevalence of hookworm in the South California, too was found badly afflicted with he per- nicious parasite It was known to ex- dst in the mines of that state but re- gently has been found prevalent among Porto Rican and Oriental la borers who are mostly engaged in az rfcuHural pursuits. Probably one fhird to, perhaps, one-half of the inn migrants coming from the Orient are infected with hookworm; an investi- gation during which 2,255 were exam 5ned revealed that LOTT had the intes- Einal parasite. In San Francisco it has recently been discovered that a number of laborers, chiefly from the
 West Indies, engaged in market gar derfng on a tract of land within the rity limits, are afflicted with hook worm, and on account of the danger of transmitting the parasite by un- cooked vegeta bles, the laborerS have been Querantined and placed under Urea tment, and the vegetables from Ehese gardens will not be allowed to be sold in the markes until all evil ffence and danger of hookworm infec- ton are eliminated. The usual course of the infection is through the skin Df the feet, but it is believed that un- cooked vegetables carrying the hook warm eggs Or larvae might also be a source of infection. This phase of the question and the method of solving it sresratfier novel. says The Journal of the American Medical Association.

SUMMER SEEDING OF ALFALFA.

This plan is being more and more favored says the editor of Farm and Home The seed must be sown early in August so that the plants will weather The requisite for suc- cessful stand and a good catch in addition to suitable weather, are a finely prepared seed bed, plenty of available plant food, good seed and the right kind of innoculation.
 The land should be well ploWed and narrowed at frequent intervals weeds. A heavy application of stable manure Or of commercial fer tilizer is essential. The plants need considerable available nitrogen to give them a quick, strong start. Above all things the soil must be sweet, for in g. sour or acid soil alfal- ia or other legumes will not thrive. A not too much to apply. This should be spread broadcast and well worked into the soil a month before sowing the seed.
 Experiences differ as to the amount of seed to SOW, some being as success full with as little as eight pounds to the acre, while other growers advise using 30 pounds. Enough seed should be used so that there will be several plants to each square foot of ground. but on irrigated and the seeding may be higher than where ir- rigation is not practiced. Unless the land has grown alfalfa Or sweet clo- yer, it will be well to innoculate it with alfalfa bacteria.
 Two methods of innoculation are available; one is to use several hun dred pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field. While this is probably the surest way, there is sometimes danger of introducing dodder or other noxious weeds. The other method, and the easiest and simplest, is to inoculate the seed with a pure cul- ,ture. There is no danger of introduc- ing bad weeds through this method.
 Failures in soil or seed inoculation have been sometimes due to poor cul- ture, but more often to improper methods of application. The inocula- ted soil or seed must not be sown dur ing a bright, sunny day, for the sun shine will kill the bacteria germs very quickly. Choose a cloudy day for this work and follow the seeding immedi- ately with the harrow, ,weeder or brush to cover the seed IT iroculated soil is used harrow it a once.
