his career. However. such was the
case and Salmon. as he tells it, finds
himself coming down instead of go
ing up. But the youngster insists
! that he has had some distinction in
the business. He has, he declares,
received 500 for pitching eleven in
nings, which is some price for a MAJ

came about IN this way: Salmon w
working for the Louisville Club an
for twenty days the manager cam
around every afternoon and locke Z
him over. He used him in just seven
innings. which were distributed over
four games. When Louisville let him
out st. Paul grabbed him up and for
thlrty-f four days he was a member
Of that team during which he pitched
four innings, divided into two games.
Now of the eleven innings Salmon
pitched for Louisville and st. Paul,
nine were runless, one run was made
in one inning and two runs were Sc
cured in another inning. All tn,
games, by the way. were hopelessly
lost when Roger entered the box. and
whatever he did, of course, wouldn't
cut much ice. But that he did we'll
is true.
Salmon is still sticking to baseball
and hopes to make good in a big way
some day. He has had a few knocks
and he has learned much. He speaks
wisely when he says that the thing
for young pitcher to do is to start
at the bottom and work up and not
start at the top and fall down. Roger
has a new job. He joins the Hartford
team today. The manager is Dan
O'Neill. who managed Holyoke last
year, and under whom Salmon played
the latter part of last season.

A Chicago baseball fan, who is evil
IDENTIFY much interested in the welfare
of the Cubs, the behavior of the
PLAYERS on the diamond and who is
good friend of the much-abused
umpire, has discovered a way, it
would seem, to check rowdyism. OF
late, Heine Zimmerman, the Cubs
third baseman, has been very mussy,
and the umpires have been after him
hot and heavy. In order to some
what restrain Zimmerman, the Cub
fan has discovered a novel way to
give the player 500, but he will have
to make good, though, before he is
able to spend the money. Cutting the
century note in two, the fan sent
both pieces to a Chicago sporting
editor, who turned over one piece to
Zimmerman, and the other half is to
be given the player if he is not
elected from the game within two
weeks. 1t is an easy way to get the
money and Zimmerman says he is
going to make a hard try. He has
been sent to the clubhouse on five
occasions this season, and three
times very recently. Zimmerman is
delighted with the idea. Hand me
half of that bill and watch me get
the other" said Zimmerman when
told of the offer. I'm through fussing
with umpires, anyway, and don't in

PROPERLY PACKED

When a farmers wife or daughter

| tasted the butter. II was good
and the merchant would have been
glad to pay 25 cents, the same as
got, but he said he could not sell II
for more on account of its mussy APP
pearance.
If each one OF those persons would
pay SLIPS for brickshaped butter
mold that will make an exact pound; ;
so cents for a roll of parchment pa

with the aid Of ruler into sheets az
inches long, dip these into cold water
and wrap each pound neatly. pack
them neatly In clean box lined with
white paper. ! assure you they can
then get 25 cents pound for their
butter and the gain in price will give
them a good many dollars to put into
their pockets.
II will not take ten minutes longer
on churning day to do this. and the
knowledge of putting first-class arti-

1t is not best to use the oiled paper.

without tearing It, and II makes the

EASTERN EYES ON
ALFALFA PLANT
Crop Will Do More to Restore
Worn Out Farms Than Any
Thing Yet Suggested.

A carload of alfalfa seed shipped
from Oklahoma to the farmers of the
New England states opened the eyes
of the eastern press and caused them
to give much publicity to the import
ance OF this valuable harvest.
This carload of seed consisted of
about 600 bushels, worth $3.50 per
bushel, or $4,000 in round figures.
1t was retailed to farmers at $40 per
bushell, or more, but even at that
price it was cheaper than any other
seed they-could use for producing
stock food.
The newspapers of the east have
advertised the importance of alfalfa
and so have most of the agricultural
colleges, but the farmers who read
western farm papers are just learning
what it means and its popularity as a
reliable and profitable farm crop.
Where the ground has been pre-
pared in the proper manner ard pure
seed sown under favorable conditions
alfalfa has produced from one ton to
ton and half per acre at single
cutting. AS alfalfa always produces
two and sometimes three crops year
the yield is much larger and the
money-earning capacity of the land
many times greater than any other
farm feed that can be raised on New
England soil.
It is wrong theory that alfalfa
cannot be raised in the east. Many
farmers have tried it and failed, but
the failure almost in every instance
may be traced to four things
Sour soil, lack of bacteria. insufficient
preparation of the soil and impure
non-germinating seed.
Lime will sweeten the soil. Soil
from an old alfalfa field will supply
the bacteria and the application OF
common sense and patience will do
the rest.
Alfalfa will do more to restore worn
out farms Of the east and south and
do II more cheaply than anything else.

| AS a rule, late celery makes more
growth during the fall months. after
the weather gets cool. than at any 9TH
er time. In hot, dry weather celery
needs a great deal OF attention, for un-
less the roots Of the plant can be kept
cool and wet there will be no growth
to speak Of.
For this reason as well as several
others. I prefer to bank the rows with
earth as the plants grow. When
blanching by this method Is out of
question, mulch them with well
rotted manure out of the poultry
house. and then set broad boards on
edge several inches from the plants in
either side of the row and fill the
space around the plants with hay or
dry leaves.
l like to draw the earth up to the
plants as they grow, because in this
way one will have far more white
stalks than when the work of banking
Is done all at one time.
Some people suppose that no matter
how large the branches are, the stalks
will all turn white after being banked
The truth is. stalk of celery that
has attained It's full size before the
blanching process begins will remain
green, while the heart Of the bunch
which has grown In darkness will be

Another reason why prefer to use
earth is that 1t protects celery from
