her lips and locking angrily at Lucy

It had always irritated the wealthy
farmers wife that her cousin, the wife

have offered home to their mutual
s.ncle, Mark Evans.
Mark Evans had owned a prosper

Tie Adams family was furious.
'1fTd known the old skinfiint wasn't
worth more than that, I'd have seen

WHAT'S he done with all his money?

LEGUME ARE GOOD
NITRATE PRODUCERS
On Average Farm Such Crops
Should Be Depended Upon to
Act as Soil BenefactorS.

"The legumes as a source of nitrate
are rather too slow in action to give
real immediate profits when used to
produce great money crops" This is
the statement made by an advocate Of
the use of nitrate of soda on American
soils.
Such a statement should not lead
anyone away from the main fact that
legumes grown with other crops in a
field benefit those other crops the first
year. The second year the soil itself
is much better from having grown the
legumes than if nitrate of soda had
been used and no legumes grown.
Legumes are our natural nitrate pro-
ducers. The nitrogen is cheaper, too,
when furnished us in this form. And
yet we should remember sodium nj
trate for its value in getting quick re-
suits. 1t is beneficial to almost every
crop when applied in the right
amounts and at the right time. For
quick results when starting a pasture
on poor land, as an application to or
chard soil for fastening fruit, in mar
ket gardens where crops demand much
nitrogen, and in many other places
sodium nitrate is Indispensable. Such
crops as potatoes, garden and truck
crops grown in colder sections need
quick-acting nitrates in addition to le-
gume nitrogen to push the crops be-
fore the organic source is ready.
But on the average extensive farm
let us depend largely upon the legume.

The selecting of the head of herd
is q question which deserves much
more thought and consideration than
the average farmer thinks when the
subject first presents itself: and yet
it is one of the most important ques-
tons with which the breeder has to
deal. Why?
Because the sire is the foundation
upon which the herd is built; just as
no good structure can be erected with
out firm foundation, neither can a
good herd be established without
good sire at it's head.
In selecting a head for your herd,
the record must be closely examined
not only of this particular animal, but
also the record of his sire and dam
for generations. If he Is an animal
OF good type, possessing the charac-
teristics peculiar to his breed. and has
well-established blood lines, you can
feel pretty well assured that he will
transmit these characteristics to his
offspring.
Since the male represents exactly
one-half of the foundation of the herd,
it is much cheaper, from business
standpoint, to purchase and maintain
one good animal that represents so
much blood of the herd and has such
marked power or influence upon
the characteristics of such large num-
Der of animals.
In raising animals of any kind one

ESSENTIAL TO KEEP
ALL PIGS THRIFTY
One of Most important Things Is
to Stop Leaks and Get Rid
of the B0arderS.

A large part of the profits in hog
raising depends on the thrift and
health of the herd. The pig that is
stunted never is so profitable as the
one that is kept thrifty and growing.
One of the most important problems
hog growers have to solve is to stop
the leaks and get rid of the boarders,
lice and worms, says Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Going out of the hog bust
ness is not the remedy. II may pre-
vent direct losses In an occasional
year such as the past one has been,
but it will not utilize the feed grown
on the farm and keep up the soil fer
tility.
Failure to use the feeds available
to the best advantage is one of the
biggest leaks in the hog business. 1t
is poor policy to try to raise and fat
ten hogs on pasture without grain.
The successful farmer will provide
pasture for his hogs every month in
the year if possible. and he will feed
enough grain in addition to the pas
ture to keep his breeding hogs in good
condition. The grain fed ought to
provide some growth material as well
as fat-forming material. Loss often is
due to failure to recognize the fact
that the fattening period with most
hogs is but continuation of the grow
ing period. and that the greatest diff
ference in the rations used during the
two periods should be in the amount
rather than In the kind of feed fed.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-07-09

object should be to produce as many
as possible of the same general we'll
fixed characteristics: uniformity of
size, style, conformation, general quail
tiles and color markings. The nearer
lot of animals conform 10 the same
ideal the higher price they will COM
mand.
jdst TO give an example of poor
selection of sire, will cite a case
| saw recently. 1t was a herd OF
swine numbering over two hundred.
There were ten brood sows-no two
alike in any respect, color not ex-
cepted, as black, red, white and black
spotted, as well as some red and white
spotted. Let us look at the sire. He
was of the nondescript class-neither
a bacon nor a lard hog, with long
nose, long legs. rainbow back and
large ears. What would you be willing
to pay for such pigs? can give you
the sizes, as l saw several six-months-
old pigs weighed by the butcher who
had purchased them. They averaged
So pounds! Just think of it! One
weighed 81 pounds, and it was not
from lack of feed. for they were we'll
fed twice day.
This shows the influence the sire
has on the herd. Had this breeder
kept a good sire, he would have raised
an entirely different lot of pigs and
some in which a profit could be All
ticipated over and above the expense
of raising.

Wretched Pitching
Lets New York Take
Second Encounter

II takes only q short paragraph
to relate the narrowing details OF
the double bill the Tigers generous
ly split with the Yankees yesterday.
Coveleskie allowed but four hits In
the frst game. Five Detroit pitch
ers allowed IS blows In the second
game. The Tigers therefore, won
the first very nicely. and ignomini'
ously lost the second. The score
OF the victory was and 2, and the
count for the defeat was 10 to 8.
This first contest was regular
game. II lasted but an hour and a
half and the scoring was confined
to three Innings. Coveleskie start.
ed and. 1t was soon apparent that
he was as good as he was poor the
day before. Detroit tore into War
hop In the second inning. when
Crawford tripled and veach hit the
same sort of ball that by strange
freak rolled to the screen and In
stead of bouncing back climbed
over for home run. There were
two bases on balls and the newt
able hit for Baker later in the inn
ing but the two more lusty blows
accounted for the two runs scored.
In the third Cobb doubled and so
did Veach. and that accounted for
the third tally.
New York was held hitless until
the fourth and scoreless until the
eighth, when an error by Kavanagh
and hits by Boone and Pinch-hitter
Mullin brought in two runs. Covey
thereupon famed Baumann, who
batted for Cook. and Peckinbaugh
was an easy third out.
Warhop was about ready for the
count by this time. and Bill Dono-
van himself warmed up and hurled
the last inning. He got the usual
ovation and presidential salute, and
then struck out Bush and Covel'
