PLAYERS SUPERSTITIONS

Baseball and billiards and cards and
chess, craps and dominoes, and other
games have superstitions and omens
all their own. Almost every baseball
team has a mascot which Is supposed
to bring it good luck.
1t is bad luck to strike the first
player out.
Baseball players sometimes pull the
little finger for luck.
Some teams will never permit all
members to sit down together.
Home team fans find it lucky In the
seventh inning to stand and stretch.
If baseball team meets a funeral
on the way to play they will win the
game.
A billiard good luck trick is to chalk
the large end of the cue to insure sue
~eSs.
1t is bad luck If dog crosses the
diamond before the first ball is
pitched.
If a baseball team meets a load of
barrels on the way to play, they will
not be defeated.
Some baseball players consider It
an omen Of bad luck If one Of their
nine gets shaved on the day the game
Is to be played.
When engaged in game Of billiards
or pool, he who keeps the chalk In
his hand and ehalks his cue while his
opponent is playing will lose the game
every time.

OFFERING NORTHERN GROWN
ALFALFA

A distinct service is given to Mich
igan farmers through the arrange
ments of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, to get alfalfa from north
western states guaranteed to be
northern-grown as well as to purity.
j. w. Nicolson, Manager of that de-
partment, visited the far western
states in August. He brings back
word that the seed organizations are
glad to sell Michigan farmers their
crop if this state has its orders ready
right after threshing which means
this month. Immediately upon his
return the department sent out a
call for seed orders for alfalfa and
these have begun to arrive in rela-
lively large quantities. This is a
good opportunity for the man who
wants to be absolutely sure that he
is getting good seed. Between Jan
uary 1st and August 1st, 100000
lbs, of alfalfa seed was imported in
to the United States. This foreign
seed, not well fitted for northern
soils, was part of much of the seed
sold in Michigan last year.

KILL OUT CANADA THISTLES
Small Patches Of Noxious Plant May
Be Destroyed by Cutting Them
Off During Summer.

Small patches of Canada thstles
may be killed by cutting them off with
a hoe or spade several times during
the summer or by covering the patch
with tar paper or building paper and
leaving 1t in place several weeks. To
handle larger fields without losing a
crop it is necessary to grow some early
maturing crop, like clover, winter rye
or barley.
AS soon as the crop is harvested.

US FARMERS
By Joe Queerman.


Such mussin' and fussin',
All the world in a mix,
An they're strikin' fer eight hours
Some say it's fer six
Soon they won't do nothin'.
An we're gettin' in the crop,
An fer noon we hardly stop.
All the long day we work,
From daylight until dark,
And then we run round with a Ian
tern.
An it's "leisure" and pleasure,
An cultivate the mind,
An their bodies to "recuperate"-
An more time to drink they find
Till soon they won't do nothin'.
While the winters coming on,
An to get the farm work done,
All the long day we work,
From daylight until dark,
And then we run round with Ian
tern.
o it's "modernizing", "civilizing",
One fellow said that soon,
They'd start at twelve and quit at
one,
An take an hour fer noon
Real gents you see they will be,
An just do nothin'.
An we can't get time enough,
Fer the farmin's tough and rough,
All the live-long day we work,
Clean from daylight until dark,
An then we run round with lam
tern.

You Are as Old as Your Skin.

With your fingers held out straight
pick up fold of skin on the back
of the hand. If the skin snaps back
quickly into place you are young. IL
it stays up in ridge, you are old.
It's no use to say you aren't. You
are seventy or eighty or ninety
years old, no matter what the date
of your birth. You are prematurely
old. Even so, perhaps by painstak..
ing efforts you can win back some OF
the youth you have lost.
"a man is as old as his skin"
The skin is an organ essential to
life. One can get along without a
stomach, but the skin is an organ
which is essential to life. One could
not live without it. When an animal
is deprived of the function of its
skin, death occurs within few
hours. A healthy skin is an import
ant indication of good bodily health.
A dingy, dry wrinkled or diseased
skin is always an indication of some
serious morbid condition, which
needs attention. A healthy skin is
thick, elastic, translucent. The bloom
of health is on it, as upon the skin
of a ripe luscious peach.
The skin is kept in health by the
thyroid gland, which presides over
its functions in a wonderful way.
II is the function of the thyroid
gland to destroy poisons, but the
principal source of the poisons with
which the thyroid gland has to deal
/. the alimentary canal. When pu-
tire faction occurs in the colon as the
result of constipation, floods of pois-
on are continually poured into the
blood. which impose upon the thy
ro;d. as well as the liver and the
kidneys, an enormous amount OF
which they are prematureiy worn

Variety Of Corn-Sudan Grass

1t is now too late to plant good

Sudan grass, sorghum and millet. OF
these three, sorghum will give the
greatest yield, but Sudan grass yields
n finer quality Of hay and can be
stored to better advantage in the

EXCELLENT CROPS FOR HOGS
Valuable Pasture for All Corn
Fed Live Stock.

Alfalfa and clover are both rich In
protein, an element likely to be lack
ing in most of our farm feeds. 1t is
for this reason both are so valuable
as pasture for corn-fed animals, espe-
cially hogs. Another good hog pas
ture plant. which Is not used nearly
so much as It should be, is rape.
