NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Unusual
competition by clubs to secure the
national open golf tournament has

contends that It Is entitled to it..
The Garden City Golf club has

Country club Is anxious to secure
either the open or any other
championships. Many Western
men have expressed a desire to
see the open held again over the
Long Island course. It is re-

BODY CHECKING
DISBARRED BY
HOCKEY men

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Body
checking in hockey has been prac-
tically disbarred by the Amateur
Hockey league. No player who
is not actually handling the puck
may now be checked. The inter-
probation of this rule depends
considerably on the referee for
the rule is taken to mean that
the player is playing the puck SO
long as he can reach 1t with his
stick.
A player coming down the ice
and carroming the puck against
the boards must be given the right
of way and not checked against
the boards. The hard checking
which in the past has been a fea-
ture of many games here will
thus be abolished to a great ex-
tent. A faster game is possible
under the new rule.

FERTILIZERS AND
SOILS FOR ONIONS
Heavy CIays, HiIISides and Stony
Land Should Be Avoided
Old Muck Lands Best.
By ]. T. GRAINGERD

(By ]. T. GRAINGER.)
The best soil for onions is a rich,
well-drained loan. Heavy clays, hill
sides and stony land should be avoid
ed. Onion soil cannot be too rich.
Excellent crops are grown on deep,
rich, muck lands that have been un,
der cultivation for three or four years.
Such lands should contain a fair mix
ture Of sand. New, raw muck lands
give poor returns.
The ground for onions should have
been planted to some heavily MANFRED
hoed crop the preceding year and be
practically free from weed seed. 1t
is a great mistake to grow onions on
weedy or rundown land.
The following which relates to grow
ing onions on a large scale also ap-
plies to garden growing.
A rather firm seed bed which re-
suits from fall blowing is desirable
and gives the best results. A second
crop of clover, heavily fortified with
barnyard manure and turned under
in the fall followed by potatoes the
next year, makes an excellent prep
aration for onions the second year.
A heavy top dressing of we'll rotted
barnyard manure or compost should
be applied in the spring, and well
worked into the soil. After this, a
complete commercial fertilizer an
alyZing per cent nitrogen, s per cent
available phosphorus and 10 per cent
pOtacb cbOuId he oDp1ipd
This fertilizer formula is very pop
ular with large onion growers, and it
should be put on broadcast and thick.
If the ground is in high state of
cultivation the commercial fertilizer
may replace in part, the barnyard ma
nure. A top dressing of ashes and
hen manure might also replace in part
the commercial fertilizers.
Very successful growers use them ell
and in addition nitrate of soda applied
broadcast in three or four applications
during the growing season.
Wood ashes constitute one of the
best forms of potash fertilizers and
should be carefully kept under shell
ter away from the rains.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that it
costs just as much to seed and cult
vate crop of onions that yields 800
bushels to the acre as it does to grow
a crop yielding 500 to 1000 bushels.
And further that the land once prop
erly prepared can be used for grow
ing onions year after year unless in
sects or diseases come in.

Incubator Hint.

Set some hens when setting the in
cubator this will give you eggs with
which to fill vacant places after test
ing. If you do not have these eggs,
then fill vacant place with cloth or
paper, as open spaces on the egg tray
make it a difficult matter to keep
the thermometer at right heat. Don't
leave the doors open when airing the

you must make the airing a short one.

Doctors Live Lo1n.

Doctors are VIGOROUSLY their own
most disobedient patients. Usually
they eat and sleep irregularly, they are
out in all kinds of weather. and they
hesitate at no danger IF contagion or
infection; yet of the 2.205 physicians
who died in the United States last
year, PA were more than eighty years
old. and 81 of them more than ninety.
The average age was about sixty-one
years. Probably doctors dose them
selves less than other people do

FOR BUSY FARMERS
Landing Ewes Should Have

Sorry you did not fix up a house for
the Landing ewes? May lose enough
lambs to pay for a new one.
The spring pigs are coming along
now. Thousands die every year from
too much cold wind.
Get into the grape vines with knife
and pruning shears, if you know how
to prune. Otherwise keep out.
Now is the time when the lice get
busy in the chicken house. At 'em
with the kerosene can and the white
wash brush.
What a pity to let the baby chicks
perish in the cold wind for lack of
shelter.
The spring crop of calves is coming
now. Dehorn them by using a bit of
caustic instead of saving them off
year later.
Do not give the sow's nest too much
litter at narrowing time. Many pigs
are destroyed by too full nest.
No nest ever made for hen beats
half barrel Laid on it's side, particularly
for March weather.
The bees will be taking a spring
flight. Examine them after they come
back to ascertain if they have enough
food to last till the blossoms come.
strong spring wind will dry all the
moisture out of the tree roots if left
exposed long while planting.
The climbing cutworm is working
away on the newly set trees and vines
these nights. Keeps out of sight in
daytime Keep him away by a strip
of stiff paper put around the plant and
pushed an inch into the soil.
Make a fair written contract with
the hired man. Saves misunderstood

An hour in the workshop repairing
now will save time later when it is
more valuable.
The heavy rains and strong winds
will push over the fence posts.
Stralghten them up.
Potatoes will sprout now if given
light and air.
