From the amateur viewpoint the
The amateur in trapshooting would
be a professional in any other sport.
The usual idea Of an amateur
and one we have had pounded into
us since childhood-is one who does
not receive financial compensation
for his efforts. In all sports, shoot
ing excepted. every effort is made TO
carry out this idea.
There is a different standard in
shooting than in any other sport.
The amateur in trapshooting shoots
for money while the professional,
who one would think would always
he on the trail of the golden Iucre,
is not permitted by the rules to enter
he competition with the amateur
except in a friendly spirit and he
can only win trophy when some
organization thankful for what pro-
.fessionals have done for them offers
a trophy for competition among the
professionals But never does the
professional shoot for money. This
strange state of affairs may seem ex-
traordinary to you but among the
shooting fraternity it is most clear
and cleancut.
Want Best Shot To Win
In rifle shooting there is no pro
fessional class. All contests in rifle
matches are shot for money as well
as for trophies and all are regarded
rs amateurs. On the other side Of
the Atlantic where they are great
stickers for amateurism the status
If the American rfleman has never
been questioned. AS far as we know
he National Rifle Association has
nothing in its rules which pertains to
lmateurism. It is taken as an ac-
eepted fact that those who shoot
with rifle are amateurs and they
are at heart Rifle shooting as far
rs the large tournaments are con
cerned, is mainly in the hands Of
the United States Government and
is managed by the National Rifle AS

rifle shooters in some of the matches

Fifteen dollars or fifteen cents, in

A careful study Of records relating
to the birth of 72O litters of pigs at
the University Of Illinois reveals many
sfdelights for those interested in hog
raising. The 72O litters contained
$40 pigs Of seven distinct breeds.
The following conclusions are drawn
in bulletin No. 226 of the University
of Illinois agricultural experiment sta
tion.
On the whole, the belief that young
sows produce smaller pigs than do
older sows is substantiated. Likewise
the data substantiated popular belief
that up to a certain age, about three
years, there Is an increase in the
size of litter as sows grow Older.
The older sows farrowed 1913 per
cent of dead or immature pigs as COM
pared to 81 per cent by the younger
sows.
1t Is doubtful whether there are any
variations in farrow attributable to
the season at which pigs are farrowed.
Increase In Litter.
In succeeding litters from the same
SOW there was an increase in number
Of pigs per litter and in the weight Of
individual pigs until the fourth litter,
at which time the sows were three
and one-half years old.
The records obtained from $40 lit
ters showed q wide range, 99 to 124
days, in the length of CESSATION period,
with an average Of 114.58 days. How

ALGIERS RICH IN SUNDAYS

Although no fewer than three Sun

one could in any sense be called a
"day of rest" For while the prophet
enjoined his followers to attend sWor
ship on Sunday, he warned them
against allowing it to become q day

cases of robbery being extremely rare.
The French Sunday is typically
French. The Jew alone makes his
Sunday a day of rest, his religion for
bidding anything save talking on that
day. A walk through the Jewish
quarter on the Sabbath will carry
ones thoughts back many years. The
picturesque groups at the street corn
ers, in their rich, flowing robes, will
recall many an Old Testament story
learned in childhood, for the Jew In
his oriental garb has a very different
appearance from the Jew as we know
him in the West.

AUTUMN is CLEARING
TINE FOR FARM LAND
Convert All Waste Places Into
Revenue Producers.
Goats, Sheep or Cattle Are Favored In
Order Named for Keeping Down
Sprout GroWth-Methods
for Removing Stumps.

The fair-weather days of the autumn
afford the farmer an opportunity to
undertake the clearing of land for
which he has no time in the busy
summer months, and which can not be
done while the land is wet in the
spring. On thousands of farms there
are cut-over tracts which should be
converted into revenue producers as
soon as possible. If the owner de-
cides that the land in question is bet
ter suited to crop production than to
forest growth, a careful study Of the
most economical method of removing
stumps and small growth should be
made. Most cut-over land passes
through three stages before reaching
its greatest agricultural value. The
waste and small growth is disposed Of
first, then it is allowed to remain in
stumps for few seasons, until the
smaller stumps are dead and decayed,
during which time 1t Is used for pas
ture or may be cultivated. Finally,
all the stumps are removed.
Generally it is best to cut brush as
close as possible to the ground and
avoid leaving sharp points that might
injure stock. However, If the wood Is
of no value and the ground is not to
be cultivated before the stumps are
removed, it may be best to cut the
trees rather high above the ground. 1t
the stumps are left three feet high
there will be less sprouting than If cut
low down, and such stumps are more
easily pulled.
The most successful method Of keep
ing down sprout growth is by heavy
pasturing by goats, sheep, or cattle, In
the order named. Any sprouts not
killed by pasturing should be cut or
knocked off with the head of an Ak.
There are q great variety Of meth
ods used in removing stumps, by
means CT burning, pul1ers and dyna-
mite. Farmers Bulletin 974, Clearing
Land" prepared by the United States
department of agriculture, contains In
formation designed especially for per-
sons interested In this subject. A copy

FARMERS COI WELL
Record Prices PaidfWheat Crow
ers of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over tho
Fixed Scale Set-WorEd Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
in Canada will do so well out of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at whlck 1t
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganization handled the whole of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as min
imum price for No. 1 wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered Tie amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
q bushel over the fixed rate of SID
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40,OOO,OOO will
be distributed among the farmers OF
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and SIS per bushel, was
made recently before a conference Of
western supporters Of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one OF
a deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued. in fa-
yor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sfa owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an.
nouncement, though it would be i'm.
possible to secure as good price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar.
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
ter. The net result would be that Ca

farrowed between the one hundred
and eleventh and one hundred and
seventeenth days. The general belief
that old sows have CESSATION period
one to three days longer than young
er sows seems to have no very good
basis.
Neither Sex Predomnates.
There was little, if any, correlation
between the length Of CESSATION period
and the birth weight of pigs, and the
sex of pigs In relation to the length
Of CESSATION shows no tendency for
either sex to predominant more than
normal.
The average size of litters was 81
pigs. The average weight of litter
was about 20 pounds. The average
weight Of pigs in litters with fewer
pigs than the average was 2.67 pounds,
and in litters with more pigs it was
257 pounds. The grand average Of
all pigs was 2.55 pounds.

PREPARE LAND FOR ALFALFA
One Of the Best Ways to Get Moisture
and WeII-Packed Soil Is by
Disking and Rolling.

Fall seeding Of alfalfa requires
moisture and soil which Is well pack
ed. One of the best ways of getting
such q condition is to disk the ground
as soon as oats or small grain is taken
off, then plow 1t and pack it thorough
ly by narrowing it or rolling. Soil
which has been In cultivated crop
and removed early. such as early po-
tatoes, makes good ground for fall
seeding. On ground of this kind a
thorough disking and narrowing will
often put it in good shape for alfalfa.
On many of our types of soil alfalfa
will do better If limestone Is applied.
This limestone should be applied after
the ground has been p1owed and then
narrowed in to give best results.

SWINE FOR WINTER MARKETS
Temptation to Fatten Quickly on
Corn Alone ls Liable to Cause
Loss Of Animals.

Hogs for the early winter markets
should be carefully fed. The tempta-
ton to fatten quickly on corn alone
is liable to cause the careless farmer
the loss Of one or more aRmals. A
better and a safer feed IS wheat mid
dlings and wheat bran made into q
thick slop. Give feed Of this just
what the hogs will eat up clean twice
a day, then give a moderate feed Of
corn.
Keep a plentiful supply Of fresh,
clean water in the pens. See that the
trough is clean. Have clean, dry pens
and yards. Dust the pens once a week
with air-slacked lime.

POTATO DISEASE EXPLAINED
So-caIIed. Blight Due to Tip-Burn or
Small Insect Known as the
Leaf-Hopper.

Much of TIE so-called potato blight
which is to be found is due to what is
really tip-burn, or it may be due to
small insect known as the leaf-hopper.
The tip-burn Is caused by the dry
weather and extreme heat as the sun
and wind draw the water from the
plant faster than the roots can supply
it from the ground. The leaf-hopper is
q small, greenist-like insect, which
will be found jumping from one plant
to another as the plants are moved.
