Summer Baseball.

| Shall college boys who play baseball
for money during the summer vacation
be allowed to play on their college mines,
provided, OF course, that they are regl-
larly enrolled students in good standing
at the college office. 1t is not new
question, but the renewal of the discus
sion cannot fail to arouse wide inter
est. AT present there is much con
fusion. Some institutions have strict
rules against summer baseball by the
members of their nines-and wink at
the constant evasion of the rules. 9th
ers meet the problem more frankly, but
do not solve it.
There is an attempt to bring the lead
ing universities into an understanding.
There is undoubtedly reaction from
the strictly amateur idea that considers
bona fide college student professional
because he has earned money in the sum
mer by his baseball skill. 1t is argued
that rule based ON this idea is undemo-
cratic and contrary to the American
idea of fair play, that it works a hard
ship in many individual cases. Why
should earning money that way bar a
student from the diamond, while the
book canvasser is allowed to represent
his college in the intercollegiate debate
and boy VINO earns money by rowing
a boat for fishermen or pleasure parties
ON the lake is allowed to be member
of the varsity crew? Under the whole
problem lies the fine distinction of what
is professional in spirit Some small
colleges, those in Maine among them,
compromise by allowing their baseball
men to play on local summer teams,
but not on any teams that play under
the national agreement. On these same
local teams every summer are men from
the universities, sometimes playing I'M
der assumed names and sometimes open
ly, who evade or ignore the rule at their
institutions. Thus hypocrisy is fostered
and college sport made butt for libes
and sneers.
The athletic authorities at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania are urging re-
vision of rules so that summer baseball
will not be bar to eligibility. The cap
tain of the Harvard nine is quoted as
favoring the same change, and those at
Cornell, Yale and Princeton are nom
committal, but unwilling, to uphold the
present rule as fair and satisfactory.
The matter has been the object of con-
slant controversy since the first rule
was passed-in ls79-that shut profess
sional players from college teams. To
let down the bars altogether would open
the way to evils that would work great
harm to undergraduate sport. To have
an iron-clad restriction that is snobbish
in spirit and almost universally evaded
is in itself serious evil. Where lies
the happy medium Boston Herald.

Says Women's Fashions Were Never
More Beautiful or Sensible.

The editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, writing in the March issue
of that publication, makes the follow
ing general comment on fashions apro-
pos of the new spring fashions which
ARE entertainingly reported and in
terpreted in fourteen pages of the same
Issue of the magazine:
"When you see a woman with skirt
so tight she can hardly walk, with a
hat trimmed with a long spike feather,
with heels three inches high, with a lay
Ter Of cosmetics on her face, you do not
see a victim OF fashion, but victim of
her own poor taste and i'll considered
vanity. The fashions were never more
beautiful-nor more sensible, The mar
row skirt--bit not too narrow--that
clears the floor is infinitely more sem
sible than the long full skirt of the
past; the high, tight collar with its at
tendant headaches has gone; the small
hat, set well down on the head, is real
blessing; the very high heel is very bad
style; cosmetics are not worn by women
of good taste; fashion even frowns on
false hair-a restful change after the
heavy beratted pompadonr; and, best of
all, woman's figure is no longer com
pressed into series of ugly bulges, and
the steel stiffened corset of days past
has become flexible piece of webbing
that supports but does not bind. When
these sensible present day fashions are
exaggerated and distorted they become
ugly and ridiculous, it is true. But no
wor'an is forced to wear them in an ex-
agerated and distorted form save by her
own lack of judgment and her own in
difference to comfort and good taste.
As for the fabrics they were never
so wonderful The supple, light wool
ems, and the splendid glowing silks Of
winter have given way to the most al
Turing of cotton and linen stuffs, prom
Use of the summer. The lighter silks,
too, have come in thousand new de-
signs, each one seemingly more lovely
than the last. What excuse, therefore,
for woman not to be tastefully
dressed -not necessarily extensively,
but with due regard to color, line, and
individuality Indeed, there is none.
And though she may not admit il, save
to herself, there is no woman
who does not realize that to be well
dressed is to give herself delightfully."-
pleasant feeling of well-being and con-
fidenee. A becoming costume is Won
derful tonic to the tired spirit. and the
Of looking at ones best is
definite help to be at ones best"

DEER AT DISADVANTAGE.
Cannot Escape Dogs Easily in the Deer
Snow.

The unusual depth of snow at this
time Of year renders deer especially ex-
posed to pursuit and death by dogs.
When crust forms sufficiently strong
to hold up a dog, this liability is in
creased. Under such conditions, deer
pursued by dog will be helpless after
running from an eighth to q quarter of a
mile, this being especially true of does
carrying young. All dog owners ought
therefore to provide such restraint as
will prevent damage While dog not
wearing collar may lawfully be shot by
any person when such dog is found chas-
ing deer, there are men strongly tempted
to shoot first and determine the collar
question later. The statute provides
that dogs that will hunt or pursue deer
shall not be permitted to run at large
unaccompanied by the owner or keeper
The penalty for violation of this proyi-
sion is a fine of 800.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
SUCCESS OTHERS HAVE HAD.
Georgia Man Makes Over $1,000 from
Eighteen Acres.

| Put the man who has success stamped
on him anywhere and he will make .
20 Of it. In western Massachusetts,, fol
instance, ON top Of wind-swept noun.
tain, is man who has made some $780,
900, making it on top of that mountain
too. But that is another story.
In small town in Georgia lives a
farmer who owns eighteen acres of land
a comfortable house, good barn, poultry
houses, etc. Some years ago his place
yielded nothing beyond meager living
but Norris was young and determined to
succeed. Cotton at that time was his
mainstay. Soon, however, he realized
that all the cotton he could raise on
eighteen acres and keeping his farm up
at the same time would never yield him
a satisfactory income. So he managed
to save few dollars and decided to in
vest it in poultry, having become inter
ested through some bulletins on the SUBJ
Iect sent him by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. His hens proved
money makers and after the first year
began to bring in quite an addition to
the income. In the meantime he made
"a practice of breeding his mares to a
fine stallion every year and sold his colts
to his neighbors for prices ranging be-
tween $3.50 to 1925 each. Things were
beginning to look up and savings aecu-
mulated more rapidly.
Registered Stock Are Added.
His ambition grew faster than his in
come, and it was some time before he
could afford to add three registered Jer-
sey heifers to his live stock, for which
extravaganza his neighbors concluded he
was a bigger fool than he looked But,
as in so many other cases, time proved
the wisdom of his purchase, and in a few
years his fine heifers became producers
OF the richest sort Of milk, which was
turned into butter and sold to a hotel
in nearby city TO. five cnts above the
regular market price.
Last spring Norris sold in one month
bull calf, two heifers and colt for
$3.50. His place Is also free of all debt
and he has found time to improve and
beautify it with shade trees, shrubs and
flowers in abundance. His ambition does
not stop here, however, for he aims to
average 500 an acre off his farm, but
it should be added his success is not due
to any particular ability, for he only
had such chances as are open to thou
sands of others in the country, but he
does possess the faculty of sticking firm
ly to his job, which is perhaps the sur
est way to an ultimate success in farm
ing or any other path in life. Why
not make 800 an acre our motto?

COMBATING POULTRY PARASITES.
Clean Houses Necessity.
d. /. LAMBERT,

| Poultry Instructor r. /. State College.
Parasites are minute organisms which
live upon animals and plants with no
apparent benefit to those from which
they rob their sustenanee.
Poultry parasites are menace to sue
cess, and if any good thing can be said
of them it is they compel poultry keep
ers to clean up frequently.
There are about thirty varieties of ex-
ternal parasites that live on domestic
poultry. The major part Of these lice
are found on the bodies of fowls, tur-
keys, ducks, geese or guineas and sub
sist ON the waste skin, moisture from
the nostrils and vent, also blood from
pin feathers. They not only iniure a
birds plumage, but make them very
uncomfortable and often attack newly
Matched chickens and poults, fastening
themselves on the top of the head and
remaining there as long as there is any
life or blood in their victims.
Fighting the Parasites.
Internal parasites may be either
worms or microbes. The latter are too
small to be seen without the aid of a
microscope. In our endeavors to combat
poultry parasites, it is well to remem-
Der the old adage, "An ounce of proven
ton is worth pound of cure" Clean
houses and yards viii go far as pre-
ventiye of both external and internal
parasites. The aecumulations Of drop
pings must be removed from under the
roosts, clean sand kept on the floors,
cobwebs brushed from the walls and
the nesting material renewed often.
The entire interior of the house and
all of the fixtures should be SPRAYED
every spring and fall with lime wash or
a strong disinfectant, while the roosts
should be painted with kerosene or creo-
sote oil once per month summer and
winter. This will destroy the mites and
spider lice which often hide in cracks and
erevices. A busting place should always
be provided, for this is the natural way
for fowls to battle and get rid of body
lice, and a liberal supply of tobacco
dust added to the bath will make it
more eifectual.
Internal parasites may be prevented
by feeding clean food in clean places,
supplying an abundance of greens and
pure spring water. Give dose of ep-
som salts once per month in summer and
every sixty days in winter; oftener when
the fowls are ailing. This amount
should be according to the age of the
chickens-that is, adult fowls are given
one-third of teaspoonfuI each mixed
with their evening mash. A very little
permanganate of potash in the drink
ing water is also beneficial.

John L. CIary, native of Vermont
and well-known newspaper man, died
Wednesday at Madison, N. j., where he
was editor of The Eagle. He was the
brother of James Clary, the Burlington
man who recently died in New York,
leaving fortune to his relatives in Ner-
mont, who had not heard from him for
20 years and supposed him to be dead.
The brothers had lived within twenty
miles of each other and We're unaware
of each others presence. John Clary had
been editor and owner OF eight news
papers from Vermont to California
Miss Anna c. Park, one of the best
known residents of Bennington, died
there Friday, aged IS years. Her grand
father, William Park, was one of the
original settlers of Woodford. Miss
Park traced her ancestry back to Rich
ard Park of England, one of the original
settlers of Cambridge, Mass. In her
younger days she was teacher of Lam
guages in various parts of Vermont and
other New England states, New Orleans
and San Francisco She was an extern
siye traveller in this country and Eu
rope, her most remarkable journey being
a years cruise among the islands of the
Central Pacific in 1874 on board the
missionary schooner, Morning Star. To
Miss Park more than to any other one
person is due the credit for the organ
ization of the Vermont Society of Colo
NAL Danes, and she was first president
of the order Vermont was barred from
membership in the original national So
ciety, because the state was not one of
the original thirteen colonies. Miss
Park issued the appeal which resulted in
a meeting held in 1897, following which
the Vermont society was organized.
