purely accidental that the seed be

Says War Will Cause
"Back-to-Land" Movement

" HIGH official of the Grand
IA Trunk system, on his way
through Chicago recently, pre-
dicted that one of the immediate and
biggest results of the European con-
flict to America would be an un-
precedented 'back-to-the-land' move
ment and that both the United States
and Canada are on the eve of the
greatest agricultural prosperity ever
known on this continent. He said
that the governments Of the various
provinces in Western Canada were
making elaborate preparations for in
creased farm acreage and that, with
any ordinary kind of weather, Can
ada is sure to have a 900, 1000, 900
bushel wheat crop this year.
He cited the fact that the home
stead entries the last few months
broke all records and that the Brit
ish Columbia government has just
made available for homesteading
nearly 100000 acres of land along
the line of the newly-completed
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway This
land may be had in blocks of 100
acres merely on the payment of a
small record fee.
He said that according to the an
nouncement made by the British Co.
lumbia government few days ago
the following lands have oeen sur
veyed and are open to homesteaders:
Cassiar district, l46,931 acres; Coast
district, 443,000 acres, and Cariboo
district, 7S9,752 acres. Nearly all
this land is tributary to the railway,
as nearly half of the Grand Trunk
Pacific line in British Columbia is
in the Cariboo district,

Cholera Serum.

The practice Of inoculating pigs
with cholera serum Is now extensive
in Hungary. In the five years pre-
ceding April, 1914, government re-
ports show that more than 100000
animals have been operated on. Pigs
intended for fattening are generally
treated with the serum shortly after
being put into the fattening stiles,
and losses are thus avoided.

Winter IL Best Time to
Paint Interior Of Home

THE greater part OF the interior
! work on village and country
homes should be done during the
Winter months. 1t is invariably post
poned until April or May, and the
patron must wait days, sometimes
weeks for the painter, and when he
finally arrives the time Is so limited
that he cannot turn out first-class
job. II 1t is paper to hang, he can
not take time to study out new ideas;
II 1t Is wall paint, he cannot put up
the decorations he likes and knows
look well. He cannot look after the
details as he should because he
knows he must be at Browns the
next day or lose job and good Gus
toner as well.
Wall paper of all kinds can be
hung as well in the Winter as Sum-
mer. The paper hanging season
should begin January /. Woodwork
can be finished better in February
than in July because there is no dust,
or flies, or exceedingly hot weather
to contend with. This applies to
vanishing, staining, waxing and
painting. Cold weather would not
interfere with outside painting If 1t
were not for freezing the painter.
As long as the surface Is dry, and
no frost flying, cold weather has no
effect on good house painting. Pure
linseed oil, turpentine and white lead
cannot freeze. The writer painted
buildings five and six years ago when
the thermometer was lowering around
zero and they are in number one
condition today.
These are not theories but facts
and 1t will not pay anyone to let a
new house or barn stand until Spring
and get soaked with rain. Get two
good coats of paint on 1t now and
finish with the third coat in May or
June.
Another reason for not having In
terror work done in the Winter
months is that people think that
everything must be moved out of the
rooms while the work Is being done
and that 1t would get soiled before
Spring. This is not necessary. How
lIuc uOCo IL thhC w iho'> PAN
lures, curtains, few chairs, and a
table, or maybe bed? The average
painter would do it in Is minutes
Then he can throw his canvas over
the floor, leaving the rug or carpet
down, and bring in his tools and dc
the work. When through, he rolls
up his canvas and takes out the waste
paper and dirt, leaving the room
clean and bright. When Sprine
comes take the vacuum cleaner and
run over the rug. or take 1t out and
give 1t good dusting, scrub the
floor and wipe off the woodwork anc
housecleanlng is about over.
As for the walls getting dirty, there
Is nothing to 1t unless very cheaI
grade of paper is used. A good quail
ity of paper should last from five tt
is years, and oatmeal patterns shoult
last even longer providing the walls
are good. The writer has seen watel
color jobs put up by decorator tina
have stood for 22 years in dining
room and hallway and were looking
fine even after that length of serv
ice.
Give the painter chance. Whel
he has time to do the work, let hin
do 1t regardless of weather or time
of the year. Get his ideas. They arr
nearly always good and are the re
suit of years of experience. Follow
the advice of the painter and tn
work will be done better and th'
owner will always have good work
men at his command.

Claims Cortez Will
 Make Pierce Hustle

Manager Rosentha1, who is handling Andy CortezI sends, the following:
 | Andy Cortez, who met Leach Cross, the fighting dentist, at New Haven re- gently, and caused the latter to call off his engagement with Gene Nor iarity last Monday night. is training like a beaver at St. Bartholomew s daily with, several sparring partners for his bout at the South End A. c. with Harry Pierce. Cortez, as all who have seen him in action will readily admit, is one of the toughest boys the lightweight division, has had since the pa1Tny days of. Ad Wolgast and the fans who witness him in, ac- tion with Pierce will see a merry battle.
 Cortez may go up to Bridgeport on Sunday so as to give the boxing fans of that town an opportunity to give him the once over. One thing the fans can rest assured of and that is that the bout will be a hummer from StaPt~tO finish .''

Fed Leader Values Fielding Higher Than
 Big Batting Average

z
 James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal League, may be a good pro- moter and able Ito talk A man with money into believing that a clay brick is pure gold. but he doesn't know much about ball players nor even try to learn, if a story told by DerriI1 Pratt of the St. Louis Browns is tfue. Shortly before the season closed Gill more asked Pratt to call and see him, that he had sinteresting's proposi- tion to make the Browns second base man. That Pratt turned the proposi- ton down and signed a new contract with the Browns is not part of this story.
 Pratt thought he would give the Federal League promoter the once over, so called at his office in New York and introduced himself.
 Having a good year ?" inquired Gilmore.
 Great replied Pratt.
 What position do you play?'' was the next query shot a Pratt by Gill more, and it didn't do a thing. not a single thing but take all the wind out of Derrill's sail. Really and truly Pratt failed to make Jirn It seem ed. unbelievable that Gilmore, the president of the Federal League, did not know that Pratt, a man he want ed to sign for his league, was a second sacker. But there he sat waiting for DeFrilPs answer. That fact could not be ignored. so Pratt replied:
 Why I'm 8, second zbesaman."
 Whats your fielding average % asked Gilmore
 ITO be candid I couldn't say off hand. but I know I'm hitting .290,' replied Pratt
 That's good, but a nice fielding average would make you all the more valuable to the Federal League.'' said Gilmore
 This is probably the first time on record that a nagnate dickering with a player seemed more interested in the tosser's fielding average than his batting notch.
 However, Gilmore doesn't have to know ball players. He featheredi his nest and made the Feds a real factor in baseball when he coaxed the1 ate R. B. Ward to back the organization. Nor does he have to pay their salaries in case he coaxes them to jump.

SON OF FAMOUS
 YALE PLAYER IS
 STAR ON FRESHMEN

New Haven. Nov. 13-That blood will tell is proved again by the record which young MT. Wallace Charles Winter. Jr.. is making at Yale. Since he reported for work with the fresh man squad six weeks ago he has SCOT ed touchdown upon the Yale var sity, made two scores against Prince ton 1919, in their Yale-Princeton class game here last Saturday and has done most of the scoring for his team in all it's games this fall
 Winter is son of one of Ya1e's most famous tackles. 'cWally'' Winter played for the Ellis three seasons, graduating in 1893, after he had helped his eleven to three successive annual victories over both Harvard and Princeton. Although his son can hardly expect to play on three win hing Yale elevens it is felt that, with the reorganization of the Yale coach ing system next year, he will have highly successful varsity cancer. He was a clever haIfback at the Hotch- kiss. School in LakeviI1e, for two sea- sons.si5 He weighs about ITO pounds. IS I 9 years old and is five feet, 10 inches tall He resides in Chicago where his father is engaged in manufacturing.

TANKS TO BUILD PARK REGARDLESS
 OF FED INVASION

New York, Nov 13@Ca ptain T. L. Huston, secretary and, half owner of the Yankees, returned from Chicago, where he made a thorough inspection of Coniskey Park. Huston says the new bali park of the Yankees will be patterned after the order of Conis- keys famous ball field, and his trip to Chicago was wholly to make a study of the entrances to the Chicago American League ball yard.
 Huston said he saw nos Federal Leaguers while he was away, and, though he called on President John son in Chicago, only general topics were discussed.
 Huston was asked whether the pro posed invasion of Manhattan Island bysst1ie Federal League would inter fere with the present plans of the club to build in Greensboro. While Huston would not make a definite statement that the locals would locate in Queens, he did say that the club would go on with it's present plans without giving the Federa1s a thought

ANDY CORTEz CONFIDENT OF
 BEATING PIERCE HERE MONDAY.


 The forfeits have been posted by all the boxers who are to take. part in the big show to be held Monday at the Casino under the auspices of the South End A. c. All arrangements have been completed and when the first bout starts at p. m. it is assured that a big crowd will be on hand. There will i5e 400 ringside and 2,OO0 popular yprice seats so the fans will have plenty of room. The management states that there will be no waits be- tween bouts and the final match will be- over at 1o:3O so the members of the II o'clock gang in the factories can return to their jobs.
 Fairfield fans are, banking on Ted-. dy F'abryck. of that town to give Tom my Houek a tough battle in the eight round senni-final. \ The boys are in fine condition but F'abryck expects, his hitting ability to overcome Houck's greater boxing skill. The four round. opener being Young Dundee and Kid Lewis should also be fast.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-13

the following regarding his meal ticket:
 fPierce's> record is full of victories He has stopped Young Brown, Kid Gosh, Billy Bennett and has given such boys as Johnny Harvey, Harry Cattle. Young Lustig, K O. Brown, Walter Butler, Joe Bedden and Leach Cross terrific 1acings. + I am fully aware that Andy Cortez is good boy, but he will have to be a whole lot better than I think he is to have a chance against such t'Bear-Cat'' as Harry Pierce.
 Among other bouts that I have in view for Harry is the one that I am offered by Miah Murray, tthe boxing promoter of the Atlas A. A. in Boston. He 'wants Harry to box either Charley White, Young SayIorfor Freddy sWelch in his arena within the next two weeks and a win over any one of the above named boys will set my fellow right up at the head of the light weight division and come pretty near making him the champion. I hope that Cortez will be in first class shape for this fight so that he will not be able to offer any excuses after Pierce takes him into camp"

Zimmerman Fond of !
 Loud Hats and Ties

EIeinie Zimmerman, third-sacker Of the Cubs, is known to have a keen love for bright neckties. Many per- sons have heard how Lew Ritchie, former pitcher of the Cubs, would have no other roommate on the road than Heinie.
 and purchase a couple of magnificent neekties. He would bring them up into the room and try them on before Ritchie.
 How do you like that baby. Lew ?'' Heinie would ask.
 Fierce; don't become you a bit"
 Immediately Zim would discard the ties and Lew. confiscating them would wear the expensive patterns himself ;,
 It remained for Marney to spring a, new one on Heinie's fads Marney is keeper of the pass gate at the Cub park and knows most of the players and their habits.
 CT went out walking one morning this summer with Zim,'' said Marney.- we met a friend of his on the street who was wearing a swell hat. Zim immediately bought fit from him.
 We took the car for downtown. As we stro11ed along Monroe street. -zin spotted a hat in a window that struck his fancy. We went inside and he bought it, leaving his other new one there to be thrown away.
 And, by George, if we, didn't turn the corner on State street. run into another store and >Heinie purchased a third hat there. leaving his. second lid to be canned.''
