Rock Hill, to /. For eight innings
Buck" Hoch mad Dreezed along in
great form, holding the visitors
scoreless and allowing only four hits.
Dutch Schindiger, however, was also
pitching fine ball for Rock Hill and
Delaware's only run in the first in
ming was the result OF Perrys error
That one run, however. looked like
the game for Delaware at the close
of the eighth inning, but you never
can tell.
Hoch, who has not had much work
so far, was apparently tired, and the
first man up in the ninth. Collins
drove one through the pitchers box
that was too hot for Hoch to handle.
Parrott came through with a safe
smash to left and when Mallon also
hit safe. Ceilings scored the tieing
run. This left two OF and none out.
It was about this time that Delaware

MONEY IN PEANUT SHELLS

A source of wealth that is going
n waste in enormous quantities all
through our peanut loving country
is described in the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside.
"A Southern business man went to
q manufacturer Of grinding mills
and said he wanted one that would
grind peanut hulls; they're hard to
grind because they are so gritty. He
finally got a mill that would do the
work, though he wouldn't tell what
he was going to do with the ground
hulls. But the secret leaked out.
They are now used in Pittsburgh for
polishing tin plate, and after that
the oily mixture is put up in pack
ages with fancy label and sold as
sweeping compound"

COOKING HINTS

Some one has said that cooking
cannot be exact science, because so
many factors vary. n you think
about IL you will realize that they
do vary. The materials cooked will
vary. Flours differ very much in
thickening quality, eggs in size, milk
in richness, etc. Ways Of hand
ling dough, makes great difference
in the recipes. Bread should be
kneaded thoroughly, biscuits as lit
tie as possible, eggs cooked slowly,
steak quickly.
Another difference comes in the
way cooks measure TO avoid differ
ent measurements. The cooking
schools have agreed 10 adopt the fol-
lowing rules:
I. All measures of dry material
should be level.
9. Half teaspoonful should be
measured lengthwise.
3. Flour should be measured
lightly after IL is sifted.
s. Butter, lard, etc. should be
packed in firmly TO avoid air spaces.

GETS BoARS INTO CONDITION
Where Animals Have Been Permitted
to Get Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before Feedlno.

A boar that is put into show con-
dition or permitted to get too fat often
fails as a breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in good shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them a mile
or two miles. sometimes in the morn
ing before feeding them. and have
very little corn in the ration.
One herdsman purchased two we'll
known boars that either on account Of
shipment or too frequent usage be-
fore refused to breed. The first one
he put in an by 16 foot stall. then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
him. He cut down his feed and let
a SOW run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he had spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used a hurdle. on the ground that q
boar should never be Ill treated. Re
suits were so good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out first-class breeders after
ward.

ton. No permanent road is perma-
nent in the sense of not needing re-
pairs and upkeep. We have shown
in these columns that a concrete
roadway i6 feet wide can be kept in
condition for twenty years or more
by the expenditure Of from s25 TO
s35 per mile a year. There is prob
ably no road, permanent or temper
airy, which can be kept in really
good condition for less.
Some charge for maintenance
there surely will be on every per-
manent road. When issues of bonds
for better roads are voted on, this
matter of maintenance should be
provided for.
I'm many cases the permanent
road will be far easier to maintain
by the ordinary tax levy than were
the old unimproved highways. In
such cases the new road, instead Of
adding to the local burden will
tighten it,"

DOUBLE ROW PLAN IN FAVOR
Celery Plants Grew With Unusual
VIsor and Averaged Larger Than
Those Set In Single Rows.

Last summer instead OF planting
our celery in single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows, says q
writer In an exchange. The ground
is upland. and was In fairly good con.
dition. a crop OF early potatoes having
already been harvested. II was not
replowed. but was well narrowed and
leveled.
The rows where the celery was TO
be set were spaded. two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-rotted manure. supple
mented with complete fertilizer. was
used In the row. This was well raked
in with the pronged hoe. the soil that
was thrown out was returned and the
plot leveled
The plants were set by line. In
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart In the row.
The double rows we're four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those .et
in single rows. and better than any
we have ever grown under the single
row system. The advantage lies in
the saving OF labor in banking, and in
economy OF space, as more plants can
be grown on the same land

In the current issue OF Farm and

for a land saving device TO save the

MANY Of the old terraces built by

their fields from washing have been
destroyed by Northern farmers who
have bought Southern lands and did
not understand the value Of terrac-
