BAD TIME FOR HOG CHOLERA
Burning $16-Hoes That Have
Died of Cholera.

Burning S16-hogs that have died Of
cholera is no pleasant duty. The ma
ton, moreover, cannot afford the food
losses in this country of more than
S32.O00,OOO.
Every hog raiser can aid in prevent
ing so great loss from cholera recur-
ring this year. Keep the hogs healthy.
Clean pens, clean water and right
feeding increase the hogs resistance
to disease.
Effective control of hog cholera re-
quires more than individual effort. 1t
requires neighborhood cooperation.
When cholera appears in vicinity all
hogs on neighboring farms should be
promptly treated with serum or serum
and virus.
Quarantine Of the premises where
there is cholera or where herds have
been double-treated should be en-
forced for reasonable time. Hogs
dying from cholera should also be
quickly burned or buried, and thor
Ough disinfectiOn made of the yards
and pens before the quarantine is re-
moved.

SPECTACULAR PLAY OF YEAR
Most Thrilling Catch Was Made by
Al Walters, Yankee Catcher, in
White Sox Game.

In looking over the seasons spectac-

the most thrilling catch was made on
the Polo grounds In New York short
ly before the season closed by AL Wal.
ters, the little Yankee catcher, in a
game against the White Sox. Walters
raced all the way to the New York
dug-out for a foul, caught the ball on
the edge Of the cement and then fell
into the dug-out. Before other play
ers could reach him Walters was on
his feet and out again, ready to make
q play on Jackson. who was on first
base when the ball was fouled. WAL
ters didn't drop his ball, which was
great work. but what's more, he didn't
forget the play he might have to make.
Furthermore, this was the first game
Walters caught since he sustained q
compound fracture Of finger at De-
troit on July %.

NOTED WRITER ON PUGILISM
Ninth Marquis of Queensberry Great
Patron Of Boxing Game-Writ-

The ninth marquis of Queensberry
was internationally famous as a writ
er on pugilism. His father, the eighth
marquis, was also great patron Of

separately connected with the code
which now governs fistic contests.
"The Marquis of Queensberry rules"
were, however. drawn up by ]. G.
Chambers. The marquis became an
enthusiastic prOpagandist of the code,
designed to rescue boxing from the
disrepute into which 1t had fallen un-
der the London prize ring rules and
to eliminate its more brutal features.
and soon all fighters and fans on both
sides Of the Atlantic were calling the
new regulations "the Queensberry
rules" The present marquis has writ

Last fall the big Red team did not do
so well, although. II showed up better
than aggregations prior to the Sharpe
regime.
Sharpe went to Cornell as coach
from Hill school Of PottstOwn, Pa.
where he left splendid record.
While at Hill school he was often
used as a football official. OF recent
years his duties at Cornell have made
1t impossible for him to handle many
games. --.'...-
AS a football player In the early
nlneties Sharpe was famous for his
kicking and line-bucking abilities. AL
though a tall, slender man, he was a
remarkably hard line breaker. His
kicking was always sensational. In
this department Of football Sharpe was
fully the equal Of any man who ever
attended the New Haven university.

LEGUMES FOR A DAIRY FARM
Dairyman Who Raises Abundance Of
Rouohaoe Establishes Basis for
Economical Ration.

The dairyman who raises an abun-
dance of leguminOus roughage estab-
fishes basis for an economical home
grown ration which makes 1t unneces-
sary for him to purchase protein-rich
feeds. Good, properly cured hay from
any Of the common legumes has
high percentage Of digestible protein.
An acre Of good alfalfa furnishes
twice as much protein as ton of
bran, four times as much as a ton of
corn meal, and nine times as much as
an acre of timothy. When the ration
consists of an abundance Of silage
and good legume hay, cows of mod.
crate production often require but lit
tie grain. Cows which give more than
25 or 80 pounds of milk daily require
the addition Of concentrates II high
production is to be maintained. In
view of the probable shortage In
grains all dairymen should make every
effort to provide an abundance of
leguminous hay by growing legumes
suitable to their soils and sections.

matter what the comparative price or

Potatoes resemble corn in compost

A potato ration should be supple

When Lauretta's parents bought the
old farnstead in "a suburb in Long Is
land, on the main road to the city. and
moved bag and baggage out to it, Lau-
retta herself was perhaps even more
delighted than they were.
Although she was a city girl and
fond OF city life and music and all
the arts. still nature, as revealed in
the country, lent much toward com
pleteness In life to her. She loved
prowling about lanes and ancient land
marks, and finding out, as far as pos
sible, what kind of people inhabited
the regions she explored before she
had found her way there. Lauretta
had visions of one day becoming II
famous writer, and was constantly ON
the lookout for plots and mysteries To
sOiye. The country, she felt, might af-
ford many possibilities if she just
kept her eyes open and her brain from
going 10 seed.

lapidated when the Carsons took pos

lovely and the place would In time be
wonderful home.
The small, brOken-dOwn mail box
that stood on a post at the gate WAS
the first thing that attracted Lauretta's
roaming eyes. 1t was so foreign to
anything she had seen in the city that
she fell straightway to wondering
whether or not the district had free
delivery and whether or not that old
box was obsolete. Perhaps there were
letters In 1t. Lauretta resolved to
make that wooden box one of her first
interests. She would have to watch
continually TO find out If a pOstman
collected from it and whether or not
people dropped letters In 1t. There
was no sign to tell If it were or were
not still used by the town people. The
house was so far from q post office
that Lauretta was inclined to think
the wooden box on the post at her
gate was still part of the mailing
system.

about the old box, Jimmy Gains was
fretting and fuming because Blanche

When the nights become cold and

to grow into a large shapely animal.
Half Of horses growth Is made DUR

officer at the students camp near Wa
tertown. n. Y.
AS a player, official and coach, Doc
tor Sharpe has been in the football
limelight for 20 years. In his student
days the former Cornell coach had
the distinction of winning his varsity
letter in more branches of sports than
any other man who ever attended Yale
university. In baseball, football, crew,
track and basketball Doctor Sharpe
was without q peer as a collegiate
athlete.
The wonderful personality that won
him thousands of friends, while an
athlete, proved an invaluable asset as
coach. No player was too insignifi-
cant to escape the eyes of Doctor
Sharpe while he had charge of the
Cornell squad. Men who to some in
Structors possessed no real. value de-
velOped into stars under the coaching
of Doctor Sharpe. Because of this
fact, hundreds who formerly relegated
themselves to the cheering sections
would don football togs and each day
would see record squads working for
the Cornell teams.
