TAKE HEAVY LAYER
FOR BREEDING PEN
Method of Selection Is Being
Used With Success by Many
Practical Breeders.

Yearling hens of the acknowledged
breeds that began to lay early in the
spring will have pale legs in the fall
The heavier the layer, the whittier the
shanks. This method of selecting the
heavy layer for breeding stock, while
comparatively new, is being used with
success by many practical poultrymen,
According to Prof. E. p. Clayton of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college, the young hens that have
deep yellow legs will bring the best
returns if sold for table use in the fall.
The Importance of culling out these
boarder hens is readily seen in trap
nest records. Eight months of such
records kept for 20 hens by one poul.
tryman in Mississippi showed some OF
the hens to be rapidly approaching tho
2OO-egg mark, while other equally
promising-looking hens at the start
have laid from to 10 eggs each.
Two of the hens have not laid an egg
in the entire time. AS nearly all mer
chants and chicken dealers now buy
by weight, the most profits is in fat
chickens. Marketable chickens usual
ly fatten rapidly if penne9 UP and fed

GREAT ACTOR ON HIS DIGNITY
Richard Mansfield's Rebuke to Subor-
dinate Who Spoke Lightly of
Theatrical Production.

With reference to fine dlscrimina-
ton i'm the use of the well-known Eng
lish language, it is possible to overdo
the thing
Diving into the trunk of recollections
for the suitable illustration to adorn
this remark and point the moral, we
find it in Richard Manstield's occupan-
cy OF the Garrick theater in New York
days of hilarity on that stage.
To Mansfield this theater was a tenn
pie. He tolerated no lightly spoken
references to it. One day, when an
attache reported, Mansfield gave in
structions and started for his dressing
room.
I'll see you after the show" said
the business lieutenant in parting.
"'After the show" repeated the
actor-manager, with dignity. "Are we
acrobats?'
'After the performance, replied his
associate, humbly.

Mansfield Are we ants?'
I'm very sorry mumbled the
crushed manager; 9TH see you after the
play, sir"
Il shall be pleased to see you then"
answered Mansfield.

ALL ILLS CURED BY WALKING
fessor, Who Covers 500 Mites
Month";

Prof. Charles Gray Shaw, head of
York university, who has just complet-
eel q walk from Philadelphia to New
York, ninety miles, in little less than
"a hours, recommends walking as Il
panacea for all ills, mental and physi-
cal, a New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. During
the last three months he has walked,
altogether, 1,600 miles, an average of
more than 500 miles month. A little
journey of 30 or 40 miles Il day he con-
siders mere nothing, n trot around
the block. And for regaining mental
poise, calming distraught nerves, exter-
mlnating worry, there is nothing, take
1t from the professor, equal to good
long walk. He belongs to the peripa-
tetic school of philosophy. walking
Is the most valuable exercise in the
world" he said. also it is the cheap
est. 1t is one of the best ways | know
Of cheating the doctor and the under
taker. Walking, in the first place,
draws the blood from the head TO the
feet. Then, when one walks, there
are so many delightful trivial things
to cajole ones attention away from
oneself; the color and shape of the
clouds, the flowers and the horizon,
the amusing and transitory compan-
ions of the road. And women ought to
walk more too. Their compilations
and figures would improve if they did.
Most people take too short steps and
walk from the knee. The further up
the body the swing comes, the less
strain"

Way of SuhsoiIing.
Alfalfa, clover, and similar plants
send their roots to great depths and
the purpose Of growing Il very large
corn crop. Their culture is the best
and most economical way of subsoiling
as well as enriching land. The deep
growing roots loosen the subsoil and
keep it porous long after the crop is
turned under, and the nitrogen fixed in
the soil by the growth of the plants
greatly enriches the soil. Without suf
ficient rainfall, however, poor corn
crops are sometimes obtained on alfal-
fl sod, the soil moisture having been
exhausted to great depth by the
roots of the alfalfa.
Under no circumstances should corn
be grown continuously on the same
soil. Some very rich alluvial soils
have produced very good crops for
many years in succession, but better
crops would have resulted if rOta-
ton of crops had been practiced. On
fertile farms where it is necessary to
make corn the principal crop it might
be considered good farm practice tC
plant corn two years in succession on
the same field but not longer. When
corn is grown continuously on field
for several years the vegetable matter
of the soil becomes depleted and the
soil becomes compact, difficult to Work
and poor home for corn plants. When
legume crops like alfalfa are grown
between the crops OF corn the soil con-
tinues to remain loose and friable and
well supplied with vegetable decay and
nitrogen.

growers from force Of habit, perhaps
every spring plant corn on land which
they know is too poor to produce a
profitable crop. While this practice
continues the soil as well as the farm
er will remain poor. The blowing and
cultivating of poor soil is as expensive
as the blowing and cultivating of fer
tile soil. The man who cultivates

not proftably compete with his neigh

The yield of corn in the Untfed
States as a whole has never exceeded
% bushels per acre for any ten-year
period. III no states has it averaged
more than "a bushels per acre for even
single year. III practically every Sec
ton of the country, however, yields OF
more than 100 bushels per acre have
been produced These figures indicate
that throughout the country more land
is being used and mere labor Is being
expended in producing the corn crop
thar is necessary. The average an
nual crop grown to meet demands dur
ing the years just prior to 1910 aver
aged in round numbers $500, 100000
bushels. To produce this, with the
prevailing low yields, more than 3D.
100000 acres Of land were required.
Poor corn crops are usually attrib-
uted to unfavorable weather conditions
and frequently this is the true cause,
for there are but few summers during
which this crop does not suffer Core
or less at some stage in its growth.
The most that can be done regarding
the weather is to take the best posi-
BILE advantage of the conditions as they
exist. But there are other conditions
that are responsible for lew production

Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1916-10-17
An Old Base Ball Game.

Among his possessions n. D. Bolster
recently found a sheet containing the
score of one of the first match games of
ball played in this county. 1t was play
ed Oct. 10, 1865, about fifty-one years
ago, on the fair grounds, and was strict
" an amateur game, between Paris Hill
Academy, OF which j. Frank Holland
was then principal, and Oxford Normal
Institute, of which Oren Cobb Of Bow
doin was principal.
This was not the first match game
played, for according to Mr.. Bolster
recollection the first game was played
between the same schools a few weeks
earlier in the same season, resulting in a
score in favor of Paris Hill Academy. 1t
does not appear on the score sheet, but
il is learned from a short paragraph in
the Oxford Democrat, that the game
stopped at the end of the sixth inning,
with the score a tie, on account OF rain.
The score is in the handwriting OF
Charles William Deering, now of Chica-
90, son of the late William Deering OF
the International Harvester Co., and now
controlling factor in that corporation.
Neither the game of base ball nor the
keeping of the score was then the art
which it has since become, and the score
sheet is simple one. In square oppo-
site each players name are kept only the
runs he made and the times he was put
out. The latter are kept under the
beading of 81. L." which stands for
Hands Lost" the term then used. In
the following score they are under the
head of Outs" and indicate, as said,
the number of times the player was put
out.
Another thing of interest is the order
of the players. No such thing as bat
ting order had then been dreamed or,
but the players always batted according
to their positions, in the order as given
here:
