 Our basket ball games at Der ryville last Saturday were 6 partial disappointment. For want of time we played only half the games scheduled for our teams. Of the three games we played, we lost one and won two. Berryvitie boys second team beat our second team. Our first team boys, won over Eure- ka's first team, and our girls first team won over BerryYille's first girls team. Our girls have played only five games this term and have won five. Going back to last April they have won the last eight games played. They defeated Harrison twice, Eureka three times and Berryville three times. The splendid dinner given by Prof. and Mrs. Bunch was much enjoyed by all the basketeers and even more than the dinner itself did they appre- ciate the motive that prompted it.

The United States Department of Agriculture has issued thc

 lowing in regard to berry crates
 A recent service and regulatory announcement of the Bureau o1 Chemistry contains the following, which should be of interest te shippers of berries, peaches, and tomatoes when ordering their crates for next seasons ship mentS:
 The department is of the opin- ion that berries, peaches, or to- matoes in small open containers which are packed in crates and arranged within the crates in layers or tiers, constitute food in package within the meaning of the net-weight amendment, and that consequently the law re- quires that the crates shall be marked with a statement, of the quantity of the contents. Each such statement should in- clude the number of small con- diners and the quantity of the oontantc If each
 Pending determination of the question whether the net weight amendment applies to berries in small open containers (such as those which usually hold one quart or one pint each and which are commonly placed, without covers, in crates, each crate holding a number of the small containers), and unless public notice of not less than two months be given, the department will not recommend any proceed ings under the Federal Food and Drugs Act solely upon the ground that berries in such small con- tainers, shipped in interstate commerce or otherwise brought within the jurisdiction of the Food and Drugs Act, bear no statement of the quantity of the contents upon each such contain CT.

THE TRAP FOR RABBITS

31he following, taken from the

 griculture Weekly News Letter,
 Wight be of interest to some:
 An inexpensive and perman- sent sewer tile trap for cottontail rabbits, which has proved very effective in Kansas, is described inFarmers Bulletin TOP, Cotton tail Rabbits in Relation to trees and farm crops" Details of this trap were supplied by MT. M. Wamsley, who has used it Successfully on his and o t h e r ''Tarms in the State. To make e shse trap, proceed as follows:
 Set a 12 by 6 inch ''tee" sewer As4e with the long end downward, and bury it so that the 6-inch opening at the side is below the surfssa Hof the ground. Connect two s7zgths of 6-inch e W r pipe . tizontally with the side sopening. Second grade or even broken tile will do. Cover the joints with soil so as to exclude slght. Provide a tight removable cover, such as an old harro W dBc, for the top of the large tile. The projecting end of the small end a of the tile is then surround ga With rocks, brush, or wood, so as to make the hole look invi- mg to rabbits and encourage tnem to frequent the den. Rab- plts, ot course, are free. to go in or out of these dens, w h c h snould be constructed in promis- lng spots on the farm and in the orchard. A trained dog will To- ca ate inhabited dens. The outlet ls closed with a disc of wood on
 stake, or the dog guards the oRenlng. The cover is lifted and ne rabbits captured by hand.
 ihese traps are especially suit aple tor open lands and prairies, \ Wflere VI rabbits can n ot fl n d naeural hiding places. They are permanent and cost nothing for & lepalrs from year to year. If it

DECREASING nIMTS

published by the United States Department of agriculture, e, Washington, D. C., We clip the following good article on hog raising hints:
 The low prices received for hogs during the past year have been discouraging to some of the hog raisers. of this country. The hog should be paying animal He requires less labor, less equip ment, less capital, makes great CT gain on 100 pounds of concen- trates, reproduces himself faster and in greater numbers, and re- turns t h e money ia te than any other farm an- imal The fact remains, how ever, that prices paid for hogs are low and discouraging. In spite of these prices the animal thot possesses the above advan- tages can still Ii it mortgages for his owner if the latter will study and apply some of the funda- mental principals underlying the business.
 To begin with, the best can be made of a poor market by hav- ing the hogs ready at the time when they are wanted by the market. This normally occurs during the early spring n d again during early fall. T h e September and October market is usually the highest. How can the farmer take advantage of these facts to the greatest de- gree? In the first place, the hog wanted by the market usually rGfas between lK and 2sE 22E5 p99lEsfiifds fp399Effed Fortunately this is the most ec- nomical weight at which to dis pose of the hog. Up to t h S point his gains are made very cheaply. Beyond 300 pounds it is doubtful if under general con- ditions feeding can be made a profitable business. The hog, if properly fed, can readily be put upon the market at 200 pounds in si X or seven months. Therefore have t h 6 pigs for the September market dropped in the latter p IT of February or during March. This will require that the breeding of the soWs being about the latter part of October or November first, continuing, if necessary, during the first week in Decem- Der. The pigs for the April market should be dropped in early September. These pigs can then be weaned before the November breeding SC ason starts. To have the pigs drop ped in September 1t will be ned cessary to breed the sows during May or early June. Under cer- tain conditions it may be i'm possible to bring hogs to the 200- pound mark at six months, how ever, a great effort should be made to attain this goal, as time means money, and the longer hogs are held the greater will be the labor and overhead charg- es. The cost of feed for main tenance also will be increased.
 Furthur, in connection with the relation of markets to hog raising, it will be noticed in going over the history of some of the leading markets for the last 10 years or so that there is recov- cry every 2 to four years. It might be well, therefore to re- member that this is poor time to close out, as a reaction may be expected and tbe wise farmer will be ready when it arrives.

Will the United States Govern ment pension the Confederate Veterans? A bill introduced in for that purpose pro- vides for payment of $50 per month to these worthy heroes of the lost cause, of whom there are but comparatively few now liv- ing. Most of them now living are either crippled, in poor health or totally unable to provide a living for themselves or family. Our congress could do no better service to the South than mark out the last vistage of sectional prejudice by passing this bill and provide for these worthy fellows the rest of their lives.
