WHITE GETS 3 HITS
His Batting Features Game
Won by Catholic U.
u. AND M. LOSES, 10 TO 3
Trayers Pitches Well in the Seven
Innings He Is on the
Mound.

Catholic University had little trouble
defeating Franklin and Marshall by a
score Of 10 to 3 at University Field yes
terday. The game was slow and uninter-
esting. Aside from Whites hitting the
game was featureless. White had five
trips to the plate and came through with
three hits. a triple, a double and sin
gle. On the other two occasions he was
let on by an error and struck out. Ring
rose was also a surprise at the bat, as
he made three hits in four trips to the
plate.
Trayers Starts Pitching.
Coach Moran started Trayers in the
box for the Catholic University. but aft
er the game had been sewed up he sent
in Cromwell. a local boy. to finish.
Trayers pitched a good game and had a
rather easy time OF 1t during his seven
innings Of mound work. He held the
visitors to four hits and gave them but
three bases on balls. He struck out five.
Cromwell. who succeeded him and fin
ished the game, made his debut on the
mound and showed signs OF ability. He
allowed two hits and struck out batter

First Impressions,

Ex-senator Clarke had just bought
at the Agopian sale in New York a
wonderful Ispahan rug for $4,000. To
a reporter who declared that he saw
nothing remarkable in the faded an.
tique rugs and carpets spread about
him, Mr.. Clarke said:
"You are not yet familiar with this
subject. It is so with poreelains, with
jades, with enamels-one's opinions
and criticisms at first are rather alb
surd.
1T is like the young woman's first

BUTTER-MILK GOOD FOR HOGS
When Fed With Grains-SuppIies
All Protein Needed.

Butter-milk Of a good quality has
practically the same feeding value as
skim milk. 1t is much more valuable
when fed with farm grains in certain
proportions depending on the market
value of the grain and the butter-milk.
Three to four pounds of butter-milk to
one pound Of grain will usually give
the largest gains. However, if butter
milk can be had at low price, one
is justified in feeding larger proper
tton-five to six pounds of butter-milk
to one pound of grain. If it is to be
fed to growing pigs or breeding hogs,
which are not being crowded for large
gains, the proportion of butter-milk
can be still greater. Butter-milk has
been fed as the sole diet to that class
Of hogs with fair valuable feed when
mixed with grain. Corn is the best
grain for this purpose, although a
mixture of corn two parts and barley
one part is nearly as good. It is not
necessary to feed wheat middlings,
tankage or any protein feed If con-
siderable quantity of butter-milk Is
used, for the reason that butter-milk
supplies all the protein that Ia neces-
sary in the ration.

GROWING CANADA FIELD PEAS
Plant ls Higher In Protein Than Grains
Commonly Grown on Farm
Take Place Of Bran.

By A. G. Army, Minnesota Experiment
Station)
The Canada field pea is a crop that
deserves more attention on many
farms. A ten-year average yield of
81 bushels of seed per acre has been
secured on University farm. The
weight per bushel is 60 pounds. Mixed
In the proper proportion with other
foods, ground peas make a good feed
for live stock.
They are higher in protein content
than the grains commonly grown on
the farm, and can be used in some
mixed feeds to take the place Of bran.
For the production of an annual hay
crop, peas and oats mixed at the rate
of two bushels of peas and one bushel
of oats and drilled early in spring give
good results. From one and half to
three and a half tons of hay can be
secured. Oat and pea hay can be fed
to advantage to all classes of farm
animals.
Oats and peas drilled early in spring
at the same rate as recommended for
hay, make an excellent hog pasture
crop, ready for use about July 1. Twen-
ty bushels of white Canada field peas
produced in 1913 are on hand at Uni
versity farm. They can be procured
for use as seed at $1.50 per bushel.

HOW RESINOL CURED
ITCHING SKIN TORMENT

Baltimore, Md, May %, 1914: my
limbs from knee to ankle we're COM
pletely covered with eczema for a
year. I hated to go in company, il
itched and burned so badly. I had no
rest at night. I tried a good many
remedies for eczema, both liquid and
salve, but they did me no good, only
made the skin more rough and scaly.
l learned of resinol ointment and resi-
mol soap and tried them, and was re-
lieved of the severe itching and burn
ing AT ONCE, and after months
steady use was completely cured"

Old Men Like Novels,

I asked the custodian of a large
library about the fashion in books,
says a writer in sthe Philadelphia
Ledger.
'Most of the men above fifty" said
he, "who come here read novels. The
young women also ask for fiction.
When it comes to men from twenty
to fifty, many more of them want
scientific books dealing with present
day affairs, like politics, financial
questions and history or books of
travel"
I asked him what the elderly wom-
en- preferred
Very few come" he replied.
AS for poetry, this custodian said
here seemed now to be no desire
whatever. Re-reading of the old po-
ems does not appear to interest elder
ly people, and the younger folks have
not acquired the taste for verse.

Fungus on Elm Leaves.

tree almost Gin some localities one
variety more than others) sharing the
same fate.
Millions Of dollars worth of trees
lave been destroyed by these wretched
Toes within the past few years, re-
gardless of the fact that millions of
dollars are annually spent in the en-
deavor to prevent the destruction of
our trees.
Certain writer's have attempted to
estimate in money value the loss
caused by the blight of chestnut bark
lust how this loss is estimated is not
absolutely clear. However, it is in
Ieresting to note that in 1908 one
writer estimated the damage in and
about New York City between five and
Ten million dollars. In 1909 another
writer estimated the damage through
put parts Of the east at ten millions.
He says: "The damage already done
IN the states Of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey would not be
tess than twelve millions Of dollars"
The greatest loss is caused where
future profits are entirely cut out by
The death Of half grown trees and
sprout growth too small for present
use. If the disease progresses in the
future as actively as in the past, the
prospects of our chestnut forests are
very poor indeed. This means serious
loss, for the chestnut is one Of the
most useful forest trees in all parts of
The country where it occurs.
Besides the loss from a commercial
point Of view, there is the damage
caused to the shade and ornamental
trees, and to groves kept on estates
and parks, for aesthetic rather than
practical purposes.

Cross Knife ard Fork In Reverence.
The old custom of crossing the knife
and fork after dining had its origin,
II we may trust F. W. Burgess ex-
planation in his new book, "Chats on
Household Curios," in a spirit of devo-
lion. He quotes Browning:
knife and fork he never lays
Crosswise, to my recollection,
AS I do in Jesus praise"
'In Russia" says Mr.. Burgess,
this custom of the peasantry was
ieep-rooted, and there they were care
tul to take up the knife and fork and
lay them down on the plate crossed
before commencing their meager meal
Strange to say, that, although knives
Ind forks have been crossed in rever-
ence, to cross knives has been deemed
anlucky, and to give a maiden q pair
of scissors-two crossed blades-has
ong been held by those who believe
n such signs as unlucky."
