The New York Times, In last sun
days issue. devotes a column TO a
description of what 1t calls "A Rich
Mans Hobby column we'll worth
reading. Indeed. We unhesitatin
hazard the opinion that the wno4e
volu minous issue contains nothing OF
more importance in the way Of sug-
gestion for men of means who really
wish to serve their fellow-men. The
following paragraphs show the trend
of the article:
Running a county poorhouse is
hardly the task that one would sup

tions--to perform voluntarily But
V. Everitt Macy, who got himself
elected superintendent of the poor in
Westchester County. has got so much
enjoyment out of the job in the last
three years that he Is going to take
it again.
Mr. Macy went after the Job pri-
marily because he wanted to do some
research work in connection with va
rious philanthropic societies with
which he is associated. He thought
that the records of the institution
would afford q fertile field for such
data.

the results being that the population
Of the County Poorhouse has de-
creased rs per cent. Yet he states
that he is mot popular poor super
intendent." The following fact prob
ably accounts for the refusal of some
of the former inmates to stay with
him longer:
Alcohol Is Barred.
One reason is that we do not allow
the inmates to have alcohol in any
form. In past years the yearly buoget
has included an item of several bar
rels of whiskey for the inmates. They
used to be lined up every day and re-
ceive their allowance. One of the
things that has been most clearly
demonstrated In the research work la
alcohols part in causing poverty.
Ninety per cent of the cases which
| have been Investigated are due to
| alcohol. I believe.
The economy of Mr.. Macy's admin
istration, as much as any other thing,
has gained for him the support Of the
supervisors. The cost of maintenance
is so cents less per capita than for
merly. If Mr.. Macy makes a certain
change which he believes will make
for economy. he pays the cost out of
his own pocket until a trial has peen
made, and then goes to the supervisors
with figures to show that they would
save money by doing as he suggests.
1t is among the minor instances of
the usurpation Of saloon politics that

No man can work without
tools, and the better his equip
ment along this line the better
work he can do and the more
his individual effort counts, as
serts F. j. Merrian,m Southern
Ruralist. 1t is no longer nee
essary to walk five times the
length of a row of corn in or
der to cultivate it properly,and
the farmer who still pursues
this antiquated method will
always be living from hand to
mouth, cannot hope to succeed
or to get ahead.
The profit from any crop de-
ponds as much on the cost Of
production as upon what it
brings on the market, and the
progressive farmer will leave
no stone unturned to reduce
this cost.
With the increase in the cost
of living the labor problem be-
comes more and more acute.
IGOOd hands are harder to Sc
cure, they cost more, and the
thing for us to do is to make
their labor, as we'll as our own,
as effective as possible. Here
improved labor saving tools
play the biggest part. They
not only enable us to do more
work, but better work, thus not
only cutting down our labor
cost but increasing the yield os
our crops at the same time.
The One Horse Farmer
Here the one horse farmer
must necessarily work at a ]
great disadvantage, for to dcl
really effective work two ami
mails are necessary. He can
however, improve his present
methods in most instances and
thus pave the way to be-
come a tWo-horse farmer.
For the one-horse farmer
the selection of tools is limited, |
but you can get a good one
horse pillow, harrow, planter,
and cultivator, and if you work |
hard and manure your crops |
you will get ahead.
You can also buy a one-horse |
lisc or cutaWay haroW,a NOW
ng machine, having two ami
mails together to do the heavy !
AXE. This will help.
1t is possible that you may
nave a friend or neighbor in a
similar circumstance. If so, it
night be possible to join forces
With him and do your work.
t would be better, however, to
lire another horse to put with
ours to do the breaking and
harvesting and buy the neces-
AIRY tools yourself, for you
will need them very soon.
Tools for the Two-Horse
Farmer.
The first tool you need is a

Good Tools Are
Necessary to do
Best Farming

crop more than on any other
one thing.
! A good disc pillow is a wond-
erful tool for breaking land if
you have the necessary force
to pull it. But it will take not
less than three mules or horses
to do this right, or better still,
q tractor engine. If you have
the power, by all means buy
the pillow, or plows.
The disc pillow seems to pull
verize the land more while
turning it. 1t will also run
deeper and more evenly than
the ordinary turn pillow.
Harrows
A disc or cutaway harrow and
smoothing harrow are indis-
pensable to the proper prepar-
ton of the land. The smooth
ing harrow should follow the
breaking pillow before the land
has a chance to dry out. In
other words, what you turn
in the morning should be har-
rOwed down the first thing af-
ter dinner with smoothing har-
row. This prevents the form
alton of Jumps and clods. 1t
also holds a moisture and help
greatly in the preparation of a
fine seed bed.
After you finish breaking
you can go back and work the
land over with cutaway or disc
harrow and then drag with a
plank or log drag. Such treat
ment will make an excellent
seed bed for almost any crop.
- You can now lay off your
rows and apply your fertilizer
for corn, cotton or other crops.
If you wish to bed on the ferti-
lizer you can do this at one
1asage by reversing the gangs
on your harrow. You are now
ready for your planter.
If your land is free from all
5tumps, as it should be, you
can use a tWo-horse corn plant
2r and plant two rows at a
time. This tool is a great la
Dor saver. Here at the south
where corn has tendency to
produce too large a growth of
stalk, we find it better not to
when we plant, but to
10 this after corn gets from
one to two feet high. In this
way we make more ear and
ess stalk. Anyway, you need |
4 good one or tWO-hOrse corn
planter with or without fertili-
zer attachment.
Seed Planters
Don't think you can drop
.orn by hand and it will do as
we'll, for it won't. The first
treat advantage in using a
PLANTER is that it will give you
. better stand. The second is
hat it puts the seed in so
traight that it makes later cul-
ivatiOn fifty per cent easier.
f you have tried to side a row
# corn that was covered with
inc grass, you will appre-
late this. So purchase a good
.orn planter and save yourself
rouble.
The same thing applies
when it comes to planting cot
on, except here you can use
he fertilizer attachment and it
will save time and labor.
After your crop is planted,
nd before it is up, you will
AVE use for that smoothing
arrow again, especially if it
aims and crust forms on the
round. This will kill weed
nd grass seed that are sprout-
1g and help your seed to come
through. This gives your
Dung crop a good start and
lakes later cultivation easy.

Dodgers Play Here Today
for Last Time Until
Next September
DELL ON THE HILL

Wilbert Robinson's Dodgers make their
last appearance in this city until September
l when they meet the champion Phillies in
the final game of the series this afternoon
and nobody regrets this fact at all. as
Brooklyn has handed the Philies many hard
Jolts since the opening of the season.
Brooklyn is one team in the league that
appears TO have something on the pills and
II Robinson's team played as we'll against
the six other National League clubs II
would have no trouble winning the pennant
Saturdays double defeat at the hands Of
the Dodgers showed the Phillies down to
third place and gave Brooklyn a lead which
cannot be cut down in the present SERIES
regardless of the result of today's game
Brooklyn completely outplayed the phils in
both games on Saturday, but Moran ex-
poets his champions to come back strong
today.
1t Is Mayors turn to pitch this after
noon, but Manager Moran may send
Alexander the Great to the mound to get
an even break for the series If It were
not for the fact that the Giants are due
here tomorrow, Moran would surely make
this move, but he is not quite certain
whether it would not be wiser to save his
star for the afternoon game against the
Giants on Memorial Day.
"Wheezer" Dell, who has shut out the
Phillies twice this season. will be on the
mound for Brooklyn and If he is as effective
as Smith, Pfeffer and Coombs were in the
first three games Of the series. the cham
pions are going to have hard time winning
no matter who Moran selects as his pitcher

DURBOROW CREATES
DISTANCE RECORD
Philadelphia Swimmer Paddles
From Riverton to Bristol
and Return

BY swimming from Riverton. N. j., to
Bristol, Pa, and return, n distance of 26
miles, Charles b. Durborow yesterday
created new distance record for the upper
Delaware River.
Only the Philadelphia to Chester and re-
turn swim in the lower Delaware, which
Durborow has negotiated twice, can out
ranlt this swim in length. 1t required Dur
borrow exactly nine hours and eight min
utes to complete his round journey.
Durborow swan 90 strokes to the minute
throughout, and except for bloodshot eyes
seemed none the worse for his long grind
Durborow. as is his custom, took no nour-
ishment and, while the water was rough, it
appeared to bother him but little his only
complaint being that at times it was too
warm.
In two weeks Durborow will finish his
training for the Virgini Capes swim, by
swimming from Philadelphia to Chester
and return a third time.
