ACADEMY FOOTBALL.
TleVen Formed From Green Material
 Did Fairly We'll in 1914 Season,

Under the guidance of Captain Frank P. Murthas Jr.. the Norwich Free Academy Football eleven passer through & fairly good season, having won seven and lost five games. The biggest defeat Of the season was that of Bulkeley which srneared the red and white warriors twice, 20 to and 2 5to 0. Coach Overbaugf1 developed a good combination considering the green and poor material he had to pick from. At the early part of the season the team lost Avery, a speedy half back back of no small ability. He was injured and was unable to play for the rest of the season.
 Coach Overbagh expects to turn out a great team next season for by grad uation the squad will lose only Captain Murtha and Shea. The lose of Captain Murtha will be a severe one as he has made a remarkable record in the grid iron sport while at the academy. Law renee Beebe has been elected to lead the I'd and whit fin 1915 and promises to turn out a championship eleven.

HOLDS HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN
 AGAINST ALL coMERs
White Hopes Have Been PcwerIess to Take it From Johnson-New Hope Springs Into Limelight.

Jack Johnson still holds the heavy weight title of the world, and from all indications the laurels will rest with him for some time to come, as all the white hopes of any account are no match whatsoever for the black demon. Frank Moran of Philadelphia tried to wrest the coveted title from him last June, but he was no match, as the negro's superior skill and effective up- percuts wore down his opponent and easily won the match At times the giant merely toyed with Moran and tapped the white hopes jaw at will. Moran was game though all through the fight. showing much stubbornness and did most of the leading Towards the middle of the fight it looked as if the contender could not last through the twenty rounds, but he displayed wonderful courage and staying power. and drove on until the final gong talk ing his punishment like a martyred soldier.
 The negro is forced to uphold his title and has been booked to meet Jess Willard March 9th. Willard is a new hope springing into the HmeIight, and Is set on taking Johnson's scalp. It seems to be the unanimous opinion among the experienced fighting men that he is the best man qualified in fighting circles at the present time to face the black giant It is said that a boxer bigger, heavier and stronger than the negro will have 8 chance, and in these the new hope excels Johnson.
 Willard is 27 years old and stands feet inches tall, weighs 230 pounds and has a reach of 831z inches. He is five inches taller and fifteen pounds heavier than Johnson, while his reach is ten inches longer. Willard's only defeat was at the hands of Gunboat Smith, who received a queer decision on points at the end of twenty rounds Willard is very strong. and has a ter rife right hand punch. which he in- tends to dent his black opponents jaw with

HARVARD AT ZENITH
 OF FOOTBALL SEASON
snIendieIIv Working Crimson Machine Gave Great Exposition of the Game.

The zenith Of football in the season of 1914 was reached in the closing days of the Eastern elevenS when the DOW erful elevens played nearer to their true form. During the season there were many startling results especially in the one-sfded contests which were looked to by dOpesters as being con tests that the scores would be close. The annual varsity game between Harvard Yale is a striking example, for the Blue eleven. an almost even money wagering proposition several days before the contest, went down to a. humiliating defeat by a score of 36 10 Q. In every department of the game the Crimson men showed superiority ana generalship andc completely out played the Blue eleven. Yale had banked upon its power to make it's way through one of the strongest de- lenses of the season on eastern grid irons by means of a loose ball at tack always 9. dangerous method of offensive play. These lateral passes at times were brilliantly carried out, but the majority of the time they were broken up by the stonewan defense of the Harvard eleven. When the Crimson combination had possession of tEe ball, the contrast was striking as to the awkward way the Blue men handled the ball. To begin with the pIay was never rushed and 1t moved with almost clock-like precision. Xvi Gerce of perfect cooperation between line and backfeld was almost present The manner in which the Crimson in :. reference brushed aside the opposing side was remarkable
 The Harvard men had one of the greatest machines in modern football and the Yale eleven, mouldered largely from green material, suffered the con- sequence. Coach Hinxey is considered one of the best coaches in years at Yale and great confidence Is placed by the students in his ability to ultimately turn out a winning eleven fin 1915.

The deadliness of firearms is re- vealed in the fact that the list of in jured is not much larger than the list of killed The list of injured in base~ ball is not nearly so large as in foot ball, and yet the number of these inc jured in the autumn game is more than three times as large as players injured on the diamond.

Cominu Platfo, me-,

It would be difficult to overstate
the fragrant defections of the Demo
Gratis from sound policies in their
eagerness to project something novel
Into the national field. and thus to
obscure the good work done by the
Republicans during their long tenure
OF public office. This endeavor of the
Democratic party met with dismal
failure and with results that proved
destructive to the basic prosperity of
the nation and the basic solidarity of
the people and the basic soundness OF
political action. With oil this the
country will have to do apart from
and independent Of the international
situation. even should the nation in
1916 be at war-a most remote contin-
gency. The two parties will be In sub
stantial agreement as to foreign poll
cies provided the Democratic party
shall indorse the procedure thus far
followed. But they will be diametrical-
ly opposed in the only field of political

EARLY CORN BEST FOR SEED

Should Always Be Rejected.

After the seed corn is husked. It
should be dried before hard freezes.
though early corn is apt to be well
cured in the shock II the shock has
stood up well. No seed should be saved
from down shocks. even when the ears
look good on the outside. The germ is
next the cob. We have learned from
experience that grains with dark
points may sprout in the tester, but
they send up weak sprouts and are not
reliable.
A simple way of drying and storing
seed corn for home use is to fill coarse
burlap sacks and suspend them in the
barn by single wire. Mice will some
times descend double wire and take
the germs from your best kernels. OF
course, corn should not be sacked
when at all damp and less than a
bushel should not be placed in a sack.
says writer in an exchange. This
method would seem tedious to seed
corn growers, no doubt, but 1t will be
Of use to many small farmers.
The final selection of corn for seed
should be made next spring when the
sacks Of ears are opened and the ears
shelled. Some defects will likely appear
then which were not noticed this fall.
Irregular kernels should then be re-
jected as they may lodge in the planter
and cause q poor stand. For this rea-
son tips and butts should be rejected
and all doubtful ears should be tested.

VIII Come Back.

In no part Of the correspondence OF
German agents, made public recently.
Is there more significance than that
contained In the expressions Of conf
dence. that Germany will be able to re-
gain all her trade In the American
market once the war is over.
The shrewd commercial agents OF
Germany foresee an immediate move
ment for the restoration of a protec-
tive tariff, according to this CORE
spondence. The predictions to this ef-
feet, however, are based upon the COM
plimentary view that American busi-
ness men are too shrewd to permit
the present nonprotective tariff to re-
main In operation.
Unless such steps are taken. the
Germans are aware they will not only
be able to regain their old foothold
In the American market. along with
all other European nations that pay
wages lower than the American stand
ard. but will be able to do much more
They will not only be able to regain
the position they had under the Payne
Aldrich protective tariff law, but will
be able to take full advantage of the
existing tariff. which permits more
than sixty per cent of all imports to
come in free.
1t has been said that even the Demo
cratic party, under the pressure Of
public opinion in recent years. had
abandoned the policy of free trade. No
Democrat ever dares utter peep
about free trade on the stump. Presi-
dent Wilson doubtless would have re-
sented the charge that he was free
trade candidate. Yet, with free trade
applying to more than sixty per cent
of all products. by what other name
can the present tariff law be called?
The Germans fully expect the Unit
ed States to return to the protective
tarih. There Is no doubt that the
country will do 80. but the Democrats
must say whether they will make the
change or force the country to wait
until the Republican party returns tc

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA
Disease Is Greatest Menace to
Successful Swine Raising.
ey Far Most Contagious and Fatal Of
Any Of Ailments Of AnImaIs--In-
fectIon Carried to Healthy
Herds In Many Ways.

(By J. KASTLD and R. GRAHAAG.)
Hog cholera is the greatest menace
TO successful hog raising. It is by far
the most contagious and fatal OF any
Of the diseases Of swine. The disease
is due to an ultra-microscopic virus
which is present In the blood, the ex-
creta and in the carcasses of all infect
ed animals. The Injection may be car.
ried from infected to healthy herds by
q number Of agencies, such as run
ming water, birds, dogs, new stock
from infected sources. and also on the
shoes OF persons who have walked
over infected areas. We can only hope
to control, and ultimately eradicate
hog cholera by honest, conscientious
and painstaking efforts on the part Of
all farmers and hog raisers looking to
the effective isolation of all animals
having the disease, scrupulous cleanli-
ness In the handling and care of hogs,
disinfection Of infected premises. the
burning Of all carcasses of hogs that
have died of this disease, proper care
in the selection Of fresh stock and the
careful and intelligent use of hog chol-
era serum.
Hogs should be fed balanced ra-
tion consisting Of such materials as
corn and various corn products, bran,
wheat middlings, oil meal, tankage and
distillers' dried grains and, whenever
possible, they should be supplied with
forage crops, such as green alfalfa
or alfalfa hay. Hogs should be sup
piled with an abundance of pure, clean
water. plenty of shade in hot weather.
dry bedding, and airy. light well ven
tilated hog houses.
Great care should be exercised in
the purchase Of new stock in order to
secure healthy, vigorous animals. free
from disease. In this connection. Il is
well to bear In mind that hog cholera
has an incubation period lasting from
s to 20 days. during which time the
animal may appear normal to all in
tents and purposes. Separate quar-
ters should be provided for the isola-
ton OF all newly-purchased animals.
where they may be kept from the rest
Of the herd for period of three weeks.
and kept under observation for any
symptom Of the disease that may ap.
pear.
Following an outbreak of hog chol-
eia In herd. thorough cleaning
up and disinfection of hog lots and
quarters must be resorted to. Fire
and fresh air-slaked lime are the most
efficient agents for the destruction of
