ELK STAYS HIS RIVAL

Thousand-Pound Leader Of

FIRST ANIMAL IN PARK

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec, Fl.
The 1000-pound elk which was the
king OF the herd in Colonel Harry G.
TreNler's game park has been shot by
Squire George II. lIardner. who acted
as eXccutioncr because the animal
had treed Oliver Fry, the gamekeeper,
and killed a rival elk besides The
bull was rated by sportsmen here as
probably the finest elk in America.
lie was the first elk to be placed in
the park when il was established by
Colonel TrcXler In 1911 and when four
years old was obtained from Austin
Corbin's game range in New HAMPSHIRE
Four females which Colonel TTcxler got
from New Hampshire and Wyoming
were his original family, which multi
piled SO rapidly that it incrcaned to

1t was tho study Of game conditions

| induced Colonel TrcXler to establish his
| game park ia Lchigh County. Some
\ wiseacres said elk and buffalo would not
thrive here, but Colonel TreXler based
his faith in the enterprise through
knowledge of the fact that $50 years
ago elk were native here. and that pan

A FAMILY MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head
 ache. Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, 1t was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when l was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-D -Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring. we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg. ular until the liver acted we'll. and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without 1t, for 1t certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just dose of Black Draught when not so we'll saves a lot of days in bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years In the treat. ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which It now enjoys Is proof of It's merit
 If your liver Is not doing It's duty, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion. etc, and unless something is done, serious trouble may result
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable. and acts in prompt and natural way regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels oi impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Ihed' lords. the original and genuine. 7S

COWPEAS GROWN IN SUMMER
Valuable Crop to Precede and Follow
Grain-Roots and StubbIe Left
Behind Enrich Soil.

By J. F. NICHOLSON. Agronomist. Uni
versity Of Arizona.)
COwpeas may be grown during the
summer, being a valuable crop, there
fore, to follow and precede grain crops
where sufficient water for their cul-
ture Is available. II fed green or cut
for hay. the roots and stubble left be-
hind enrich the soil and II the entire
growth be plowed under. a still greater
addition Is made to the fertility Of the
field. The fact that they grow only
during summer when irrigation water
Is comparatively scarce has prevented
as extensive culture as would be pos
sible with a more abundant water sup
uly. The WhippoOrwill is the variety
most commonly planted, although the
blackeyed cOwpea is recommended as
a feeding crop for all elevations ex-
cept the highest. where 1t Is not al
ways certain. A better variety for the
higher elevations is the New Era.
Cowpeas should be planted from
April 1 to August 1, at elevations I'M
der $500 feet, from May to July 1
under 5000 feet, and from May 10 to
June Is at elevations over 5000 feet.
The later dates are for dry farming
sections over $500 feet. They are not
successful at a lower altitude except
under irrigation.

eating the suture at the articulation
or junction Of each rachis segment and
Of each pedicel with its spikelet.
1t Is the normal habit of the seed
clusters of johnson grass at maturity
to break apart at the sutures, thus
providing for the fall Of the seed.
Each rachis segment and accompany
ing pedicel remain attached to q ma
ture spikelet or unhulled seed. Ter
minal spikelets retain the two pedicels.
In Sudan grass the terminal seed
clusters In general structure are essen
TALLY the same as in johnson grass.
They differ, however, in being devoid
Of suture at the nodes of the rachis
and apex Of the pedicels. In conse-
Quence, the seed fall does not uni
formly result from separation at the
articulation. but rather from the
breaking of the rachis segments and
pedicels at their weakest point, usually
near the center. Most of the unhulled
seeds therefore have short stem.
Johnson grass seeds in the hull vary
in length from fifteen one-hundredths
to twenty-five one-hundredths Of an
inch. Most of the seeds have a smooth,
rounded, and light-colored scar at the
base. The appendages of the seed are

stem-bearing seeds. some Of the for
mer seeds show incomplete, broken ap-
pendages, similar to those which occur
in the latter.
In the seeds of both Sudan grass and
johnson grass some individuals have
a stem from one to three times as long
as the seed. This is the portion of
the branch Immediately below the seed
cluster, and the seed is the lowest one
of the cluster.
Examination of various samples of
Sudan grass and johnson grass seeds
has shown the combined characters of
size of seed In the hull, the presence
or absence Of the articulating suture
and finally the size, form and color of
the grain, including the relative size Of
the embryo to be conclusive points of
distinction.
