1t is the Colonel Sweeney Cup
donated, contributed, proffered
and otherwise risked in the
sport writer's tournament-who-
ever Colonel Sweeney may be.
In the army they are always
telling you to "tell it to
Sweeney" so that may throw
some light on the author of
this vest pocket trophy. If the
polish ever wears off that me-
mento, there will be nothing
left to show.
And that brings us to a
theory we have been looking a
long time for an excuse to ex-
pound. Why not vest pocket
golf cups?
The game is full of heroes
who will tell you about the
shelves full of junk they have
home, but here is an innovation
in golf bric-a-brac that no man
can find an excuse not to have
on his person.
Roddie's miniature edition of
Bobby Jones' hardware is so
reluctant it can be carried on
your key-ring.
1t can be concealed among
your small change so that a
pickpocket might take it by

That is if they can stop
laughing long enough to swal-

Lettuce Is Profitable
Crop for Most Farmers

1t is believed that the average cost
of growing lettuce Tin 1924 did not
exceed 500 per acre. Returns made
to growers by shippers and associa-
lions varied considerably but were al
most double the 1928 returns. 1t
should be borne in mind that many
growers cut only small part, and in
some cases none, of their acreage due
to seed stalks and tip burn. However,
reports from several concerns show
that at least So per crate was the
average return to the grower after de-
Quoting all charges for crates, ice.
packing and selling. Returns to indi-
vidual growers were in many cases
much higher. One concern reported
average returns to its eight best grow
ers ranged from 5000 to $466 per acre.
On the basis of $500 per acre growing
cost this would give the grower good
net profit.-John D. Snow. Market

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says: "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people Claim, that it ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Get Pigs Interested in
Their Mothers RatiOns

Pigs at about three or four weeks
of age begin to take an active interest
in their mothers rations. Successful
swine raisers have found that this in
terest should be encouraged. for tie
sow's milk flow generally begins to
decrease three weeks after narrowing
and at this age the pigs can success
fully use small quantities OF solid food
The decreasing supply of milk must be
met by the use of feeds to supply the
needs of the growing pig whose re-
quirements are increasing each day.
Prof. w. G. Shelley, assistant ami
NAL husbandman at the New Jersey
Agricultural college, recommends a
small pen having a small trough or q
self-feeder that will allow the young
pigs to eat at frequent intervals by
themselves.
He advises that the pigs should not
be fed carelessly. IF wet feed is
used it should not stand in the trough
but should be cleaned up at once. Dry
feed should not be fed in such quaint
ties that it will remain in the trough
over IL hours The trough should be
cleaned daily, or if self-feeder is
used it should be adjusted so as not to
allow it to feed too freely. These
points are of especial Importance, as
they help to eliminate one of the COM
mon causes of scours."

During 1924 the estimated number

al production of pork.
The United States has approximate
y one-sixteenth of the worlds popu-
alton, but has within its borders about
Dne-seventh of the food animals.
Meat Consumed.
The total quantity of meat con-
sumed in the United States has in
creased steadily each year for the last
six years, but the ever-increasing pop
ulation reduced the per capita con-
sumption about one pound in 1924
compared with the previous year. Per
capita consumption was 164.9 pounds
exclusive of 1873 pounds of lard.
Indications point to somewhat
shorter supply of meat for the next
year or two at least.

Plant Bermuda Grass to
! Check Blight on Pears

For blight on pear trees the best
thing to do is to cut out the blighted
parts and destroy them. Gut from six
to eight inches below the blighted part,
otherwise you may spread the disease
by having the knife or shears become
infected. Pear trees always blight
worse on rich soil, or when they are
in vigorous growing condition, there
fore, in order to check the blight we
must check the growth Of the trees.
This may be done by sowing grain
around the trees in the fall, allowing
it to mature on the land. and turning
it under in the spring. If you have only
a few trees you may easily check the
growth by planting Bermuda grass
around them and letting the trees re-
main in sod permanently.

When commercial inoculants are
used the grower should follow accom-

because it contains greater numbers

Thinning Apples and Pears

When apples and pears set a good
crop there will be far too many Of
them TO develop as they should Many
times there are enough to bend the
limbs over and break them. Thinning
is not alone to give relief to the over
loaded limbs, but to make the quality
better and the fruit larger. If you
have any doubts of what it will do,
try it out. Apples will not only be
larger and better formed, but they will
be of finer flavor, and pears will be
still more benefited.
Many pears have rather hard cores,
but if the whole strength of the tree
Is thrown into crop that can be
made to grow large and perfect you
will find there will be little of this
hard core even h Eroh varieties as
