With prospects for a strong team
Virginia is looking forward to the
coming season with more optimism
than it has known since the \great
eleven of 1915. Not only does the
team have back the best of the
material of the 1924 squad. but the
men coming to the varsity from the
freshman eleven are far and away
better than any from any previous
freshman outfit.
About the only two men who are
likely to be missed are Maphis, full
back, and Hayman, tackle. Both
were excellent players, the former
excelling especially at punting and
the latter being one of the most
capable tackles in the section, if not
the best man playing that position.
Coach Neale of Virginia claimed him
to be the best man he saw all year.
Many Dependables Return.
Ahner and Darby, ends, are back
in suits; Mackall and Cockrill,
guards; Reynolds, center; Holland,
tackle; Capt. Diffey, quarterback,
and Frost, Walp and Cuddy, backs,
also are on hand.
Every coach, whose team played
Virginia last year, seems whole
heartedly of the opinion that Diffey
was the best quarterback in the
South. One coach told the writer
that 'Diffey is fast as a streak, is
a good man to carry the ball and
uses the best headwork of any quar-
terback in the section. He is with
out doubt, in my mind, the best
general in the South" Which is
about as strong a statement as any
body could make.
In addition to the mentioned vastly
men. Finck and Peyton, two guards
who were members of the scrub team
a year ago. and 10th. a scrub back,
are counted on to deliver some real
foot ball before the close of the sea-
son. OF the undefeated freshman
eleven last year four men stand out.
Hushion, Cardwell and Hutter from
the backf1eld and Luke, a tackle, are
expected to come near making varsity
berths. In fact, Luke already is re-
garded as certain varsity player,
being depended on to fill the vacancy
caused by graduation of Hayman.
Evening star., 1925-09-13

One Virginia man recently told the
writer that Luke was one of the
best tackles he had seen in many
years.
Stronger Than Last Year.
A better team than last year is
certain for Virginia, or as certain as
anything can be in foot ball. Not only
does 1t appear that the first eleven
will be stronger but it also is assured
that the reserve strength, especially
in the backfield, will be greater.
One thing that might be mentioned
in connection with athletics at Vir-
ginia, and foot bali especially, is that
there is real business method in the
way sports are handled and that Vir-
ginia stands in better grace with all
other institutions than it has at any
previous time in the last 20 years.
Not only that, but Virginia is not
now given to blaming it's defeats on
something that is wrong with the
other fellow; in short, 1t has ceased
to alibi. 1t Is not a secret that just
a year or two back, Virginia was
cordially disliked by many of its sister
universities, especially those in Vir-
ginia, but that dislike has been dis
sipated, and there is at present a cor
dial friendship instead.
Athletic Heads Capable.
No doubt the splendid way in
which athletics has been handled by
DR.. George Ferguson, chairman of the
athletic board of control, and Ellis
Brown, graduate manager, is almost
directly responsible for this present
excellent situation in which Virginia
finds itself. Both are splendid fellows
personally and all-round high types
of men; and. somthing else, are will
ing to give as well ss take. AS long
as these two men are at the head of
athletics at Virginia, Virginia need
have no worries concerning its rela-
tions with other institutions.

Iodine for Hog Tumors
Is Proper Treatment

While surgical removal Of tumor
in a hogs scrotum, resulting from
poorly performed castration, is the
best treatment, the effect of iodine
should be tried if surgeon cannot
be employed.
Keep the tumor saturated with tine
ture of iodine and also inject some Of
it into the discharging places or into
deep incisions cut in it with a clean
knife. Also give the hog iodine Of
potash daily in drinking water, start
ing with three grains as dose and
increasing little daily until discharge
from the eyes is caused; then discon-
tinue the internal treatment for a
time, but repeat it later, if seen to be
necessary.
Very good results have also been
had from this treatment of scrotal
tumor in colts. Some swine breeders
treat scrotal tumor by cutting into its
center and inserting a No. 10 gelatin
capsule filled with concentrated lye
or some other caustic to cause slough
ing, but the iodine treatment is pref
cradle.

Silage Excellent Feed
for All Breeding Ewes

Sflage is an excellent feed for a
breeding eve, but the silage should
be sound, free from mold and not
frozen. One to two pounds per head
per day is sufficient, depending on the
size of the eve. Alfalfa or clover hay
makes excellent dry roughage, but
should not be fed in excessive
amounts, as the cost of the roughage
may be decreased by feeding a limited
amount of corn or cane fodder and
slower or clean, bright straw. Ewes
should be fed some concentrated feed
before Landing, as the ewes at this
time are maintaining their own body,
growing fleece and developing the
unborn lamb, and should be given
sufficient feed of the right nature to
do this work and build up reserve
to use during the time the eve Is
nursing the lamb.
Oats make an excellent feed for the
breeding ewes; however, If this feed
is expensive and corn is comparatively
cheaper, corn may be used, by supple
menting it with bran and oil meal,
in order to have feed with high
protein content, which is essential for
the breeding eve.

Scientists Now Able

Mr.. G. K Brain, professor of en-
tomology at the University of Stellen
bosch, South Africa, has published an
astounding preliminary note" on the
adaptation of certain radio principles
to insect investigation work.
Ordinary wireless apparatus is used
The question of amplifcatfon, says the
professor, is a simple matter, and the
whole success or failure Of the ar
rangement centers on the mfcrophone
and it's surroundings.
Two portions of apple tree stem, in
tested with the larvae Of the apple
and ounce borer, were placed in a
box In contact with the partition car
rying the microphones, and through
the headphones the movements Of the
larvae could be heard distinctly and
the gnawing readily recognized.
The presence of weevils In grain and
in yeast cakes has, likewise, been de-
tected, and attempts are being made
to secure microphone which is suf-
ficiently sensitive, so that 1t may be
used for the detection of insect larvae
In fruit. This, if it can be accom-
plished, will have an important bear
ing on the selection Of fruit for ex-
port and the testing Of seeds.

VIVID CONTRAST IN
WELCOME TO PRINCE

From no source did the prince of
Wales receive more gracious wei
come to America than from this coun-
try's exclusive organization.
To be a member of the Baronfal Or
der of Runnymede your ancestor must
have been one of those barons who
100 years ago requested King John
to sign on the dotted line Of Magma
Charta itself.
Philadelphia Is the headquarters OF
this baronial order and here 1t was
founded, says the Philadelphia In
quirer.
Charles Marshall, whose ancestor,
Christopher Marshall, was live wire
of the Revolution, showed me the let
ter of welcome he sent to the prince
on behalf of the Runnymedes and like
wise the gracious acknowledgment
from the future successor Of King
John.
Here you see vivid contrasts. The
boyish and popular prince-the con-
tinuity of seven centuries Of kings
since John-cheered in land that
was unknown to civilized man for 25O
wears after King John was in his
grave.

Two cameras are mounted side by side

the distance of the lightning much

1lIDE
STOCK
CHEAPER FEEDS FOR
FATTENING STEERS

The question of how soon steers can
be gotten up to a full grain ration is
not as important as how long the
steers can be run profitably on cheap
er feeds. In states where corn is
cheap and plentiful and two lots of
steers are to be finished in one winter,
one after the other, the steers are put
on full corn ration in four to six
weeks and get Is to 20 pounds of
corn day, finished in 90 to 100 days.
In Colorado, feeds like hay and pulp
are cheap and corn has to be shipped
In, so that the practice is to have a
long feeding period starting with very
little grain and never going over eight
to ten pounds grain day. The fat
tening process has been likened to the
blowing up of football or auto tire,
easy at first, but getting harder as the
process continues
One lot of college experiment steers
fed in 1918, got only alfalfa hay and
wet pulp for the first 40 days of feed
Ing yet gained practically two pounds
a day. The following period of ITO
days when they received from two to
three pounds Of cotton seed cake and
two to five pounds of beet molasses
they only gained 2.41 pounds day.
The cost for the first period was 81
cents per pound gain and for the pc
Rod they were getting concentrates
the cost-was 1872 cents per pound gain.
The concentrates are necessary for
finishing, but do most good during the
latter part of the feeding period. In
feeding tests III 1905, steers fed pulp
and alfalfa, made 2.43 pounds gain
per day with five-pound ration Of
grain during the second five-week pc
Rod of feeding and only made 255
pounds gain per day the fifth five-week
period on go pound grain ration.
Had heavy grain ration been fed
during the early period the gains
could not have been much larger and
would have been much more expen-
sive.-Chas. l. Bray, Colorado Agricul-
tural College.

WEAVING AS A MONEY
WINNER

L VERY small community has one
- who is known, almost officially, as
"the smartest girl in town.
In a small Missouri town, where
families are "old'' and events are
slow, and people do like novelties,
there is just such girl. She is pro-
fessional weaver. She makes sports
blouses, sweaters, scarves, girdles-
distinctive and seasonal Ones-all
light and soft as cobwebs, but dur
able, too. She began in small way,
by selling her handiwork to the towns
one smart shop; now she has her own
shop and workrooms.
mo, didn't just happen to weave"
she told me. II took it up deliberate
ly and seriously, as profession.
served as an apprentice for two
months at a weaving studio in city
near here; and / really think I learned
more than would have II I'd simply
taken lessons. This way, you see,
when started in business for myself,
/ knew not only how to weave, but
how to instruct others who may work
for me occasionally, how to buy mate
rails and, most important of all, how
to sell my products"
Here are few of the factors which
she feels were important in making
her success. She always used good
materials: she practised her original
itv and got a reputation for possess
ing it-she knew that, considering
the small size of her town, it would
never do to make two things alike,
and she didn't want to incur the wrath
of some customer who had met her
SELF on Main Street. She was pleas
ant. Her prices were not so low that
she couldn't make money; neither
were they so high that they prohibited
plentiful sales.
The girl who knows how to weave
or decides to learn, and who expects
10 make weaving a profession, should
start by making little articles at home,
showing them to her friends with the
announcement Of a public sale that
is coming soon. Then, preferably at
some pre-holiday time, she may give
tea. selling her handiwork to
friends and acquaintances. If she
marks the articles "sold" as she dis
poses of them, 1t will help sell the
others.
Later she may market all or part
of her wares through some retailer.
The city shops offer another oppor-
tunity to the small-town girl-weaver
whose village is not far from some
metropolis.

MAKING GOOD IN
A SMALL TOWN
Reel Stories About Real Girls
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
THE DOCTORS SUPPLY
GIRL"

BEFORE you stock up materially
with medicinal herbs and roots
stock up mentally on the necessary in
formation.
That's the rule for success in being
doctors supply man." says an ath-
letic looking young girl who coined
that name for herself
when | first started at the work
of gathering and selling medicinal
roots and herbs" she explained, i
just collected anything and every
thing. There was no market for most
of my collection, and / saw that I'd
have to find out what's what in the
drug world before I could make my
business paying one."
The first step for the collector OF
medicinal plants Is to learn what
herbs the drug men want, and how
to recognize the plants in their native
haunts. She may get pamphlets tell
ing not only how to distinguish the
plants, but when to gather them and
how to prepare them for shipment.
Right now is the most opportune
time for this work, since the importa-
ton Of crude drugs from Europe, which
was retarded during the war, has
never regained normally.
Herbs that belong to the mint fam
ily-spearmint, peppermint, catnip,
wintergreen-are always in demand.
Among the salable plants usually
classified as weeds are MULLEN, bur-
dock and yellow dock, lady's-siipper,
queen of the meadow, smart-weed,
boneset yarrow, bloodroot and dam
delion. Medicinal seeds, usually sal
able, include fennel seeds. anise seeds
and mustard plant seeds. Banks OF
trees and shrubs that have a ready
sale are, among others, high cram
berry, sometimes called cramp bark;
sassafras, witchhazel, and wild cherry
tree bark.
The collector should thoroughly dry
all roots-the proper degree of dry
ness is indicated If the roots break
easily when they are bent. She should
split or slice large or fieshy roots,
spread them out thinly in the sun and
SIlT tu0Iu OCCdSiOlldlly ~ prevent lAiOiu
or souring. The leaves and herbs
should not, during the process of dry
ing, be exposed to the sun, as it is
desirable to preserve their green color.
Most seeds must be dried before they
can be stored in quantities.
After the crop is well-cured, the
best way for the collector to dispose
Of it Is for her to send samples TO
several wholesale dealers, with re-
quest for prices. If she can furnish
a root of high quality, she may be
able to get contract with some COM
pany for her entire crop.
The girl who decides on the work
Of botanical collector has for her
market the drug manufacturers of the
entire eountry-and for her 'labora-
tory" all out-of-doors.
