Snake Kills Snake.

In South America they are now
using snakes to catch snakes.
Even in the most civilized parts
Of Brazil over 1000 persons are
killed annually by snake bite.
The mongoose, which proved
so effective in Jamaica and else
where, is of little use here. Ne
cessity is the mother of invention,
and nature and science together
have at last discovered something
which it is hoped may eXtermi-
nate the dreadful pest
The discovery is nothing else
than a "benefcent" snake which
is harmless to man and which
kills and eats the poisonous
species.

This Is especially true Of fine clay soils

For deep, rich soil deep plowing is

Is better than very deep plowing. The

West Liberty Wins From Gra-
hams Camp by the Score
Of 4 To 3.

In one of the prettiest and
and hardest fought battles ever
seen on the the local lots, the
strong Graham's Camp team
went down in defeat at the hands
Of our boys Friday afternoon by
the close score of A to 3. The
game was a pitchers battle from
start to finish between Byron
Cisco of the locals and Roy Davis
.of the visitors, and either side
had an equal chance to win un-
til the last half of the ninth when
Walter Stamp got a hit and stole
second, and Kelly Carter sent
him over with the winning run
with a rattling single through
short. Cisco pulled himself out
Of some very bad holes by using
good judgement. In the seventh
inning he struck out Hiram
Armitage retiring the side with
the bases full.
The game was very exciting
throughout owing to the fact that
the score was tied from the
the very first to the last inning.
AS you will notice by the box
score that both teams scored in
the first and third innings.
} Fridays victory run the total
up to seven straight for the sea-
son without a single defeat.
The features of the game was
the pitching of both Cisco and
Davis the batting of M. Cisco
and Davis, and Carter's bingle
in the last half of the ninth in
ming which gave our boys the
victory and broke up a good
game.

wish to give the Courier my an
swer to the word, "Eugenics"

to get this subject before the eyes
Of the many entilligent readers
Of the Courier and especially the

give you my answer in brief and

this: Eugenics is a science of in.

T<HE methods Of corn cultivation
4, In general use in one section
Of the country differ greatly
from those in another section.
That certain kinds of cultivators or
plows or methods of planting have
been in use in Georgia or Iowa for
many years does not prove that imple-
ments or methods found successful In
other states might not he used there to
advantage.
Fall plowing cannot be recommend
ed for all soils and localities, but
should be more generally practiced
than at present. If cover crop or
sod is turned under In the autumn
decomposition will increase the amount
of plant food available for the crop
next summer. This is true to some ex-
tent even though sod is not turned un-
der, inasmuch as the simple loosening
of the soil admits atmospheric oxygen
and increases chemical action upon
vegetable and mineral matter. Fall
and winter. .plowing is one Of the best
methods Of combating insect pests.
Because the surface of ground plowed
In the fall is drier at planting time in
the spring than that of ground not so
treated, 1t does not necessarily follow
that there is less moisture in fall plow-
ed ground. The fall plowing has en-
abled the rainfall better to penetrate
the subsoil, thus relieving the surface
-of its,excess Of moisture In the spring
fall plowed fields usually contain much
more moisture, but at the same time
have Grier surface than fields which
remain unplowed until spring. In sec.
tions where there is much rain during
the winter It is better not to harrow
