breaking up what promised to be a
three cornered transaction also in

Cleveland, with its new leaders on
the hunt for talent, is angling for
Joe Judge, the veteran first sacker
whom Sisler will replace at the cap

Penckinpaugh and Bucky Harris
failed to reach any trading basis to-

proposal to give Judge for Walter
Miller, southpaw pitcher, while the
Indians tabled a counter proposal to
hand over Joe Shaute, another port
slider for the first baseman.
The Browns, besides disposing OF
Sisler, moved to complete the deal
with Detroit by which they obtained
Harry Manush and Lou Blue in ex-
change FOR Harry Rice and Elan
Vangilder and third player. Chick
Galloway, former shortStop Tor the
Athletics, who finished the 1927 sea-

Johnny Bassler, Detroit catcher and
rated among the foremost major

JOCK WON WITH BREAKS

Recently, while discussing various
phases of golf with Jock Hutchison
and the part that luck plays in
determining the winner of some
major event, he recalled his exper-
fences of several years ago in the
British open.
You will recall that back in 1921,
Hutchinson won the British open
The following year he finished one
stroke away from Walter Hagen, the
winner Had Jock repeated he would
have accomplished a feat decidedly
out of the ordinary
"When 1 won the title in 1921
naturally I was the big hero said
Hutchinson in discussing the hap
pening, but as "a matter of fact
I played much better golf Che fol-
lowing year and failed to finish on
top.
several times in 1921, when I
won the title, luck was with me.
When a fellow holes out in one
and gets two on the next hole
just failing to- repeat his ace Of
the previous hole by matter of
an finch, he is getting more than
his share of luck That is what
happened to me.
"In several other instances the
breaks were almost as good to me.
'The following year played much
better golf but Dame Fortune
froWned on me- from start to finish"
According to Hutchison, Jack alone
gave Hagen the margin on the same
sort of shot. The advantage gained
at that hole was just enough to turn
the tide in Hagen's favor.

Here is Hutchison's explanation as
he unfolded it to me.

championship, made exactly the same
shot I did. My shot went over the
green and into the rough. l took
seven On the hole
along comes Hagen with the same
sort of shot that seemed headed
for the rough. Instead of nesting
in the rough as my shot did, Hagen's
ball struck a fence paling and
bounded back onto the green. Walter
took a four on the hole.
"That was the widest margin that
separated us on any of the holes in
the match At the finish the three
stroke margin Hagen gained there,
gave him a. one stroke edge at the
finish.
"It was luck pure and simple that
Hagen's ball should have struck the
fence and bounded back on the
green, making it soft for Walter
to hole out on the next shot, instead
of taking three additional strokes
to get into position as I did"

Many Counties Complete
Tuberculin Testing.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A summary Of tuberculoSiS-eradlca
ton work conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
cooperation with the various states
shows excellent results during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1927. An
outstanding achievement was the large
increase in the number of entire coun-
ties which have completed the tuber-
culin testing Of all cattle within their
boundaries. The summary of progress
shows 347 such counties distributed
among 81 states. Thus more than half
of the states have one or more such
tuberculosis-free counties. The three
leading states in this respect are
North Carolina with 50 counties on
the modified-accredited list, Michigan
with AZ and Iowa with 30 such cOun-
ties.
On July 1 a total of 1900, $50 cattle
in the United States were under SUI
pervision for the eradication of bo-
vine tuberculosis. Besides this num-
Der considerably more than four mil
lion cattle are on waiting lists and
will be tested as soon as the federal.

complete other work for thoge owners
who signed up earlier for tuberculin
testing.

Crude Oil Is Effective
in Eradication of Lice

One application of crude oil, eff
fectively applied, will kill both lice
and mites on hogs This is easier to
use than some of the dips that re-
quire more than one treatment to
clean up the lice. One dipping is not
generally enough to kill the lice.
A good way to Oil the hogs is to
drive them into a corner of the yard.
herding them real close with the aid
of hurdles. The oil can then be
sprinkled literally on their backs with
an ordinary garden sprinkling can. A
broom can also be used, dipping it In
to the oil and then scrubbing the legs
and bellies of the hogs.
Lice live around the ears, especial
ly if the hogs have access to a wal
low. These can be reached by squirt
ing oil around them and into the rims
with an ordinary oil can. An oil
covered corn cob can be used effec-
lively in these places.
John NJ. Evvard of Iowa State col
lege favors the use of oil because Of
it's disinfectant qualities and its low
cost.

select males and females to be re-
tanned for breeding purposes.
To a casual observer the male and
female of the species are identical in
shape, size and Plumage. But closer
inspection will reveal that one has a
richer color of the neck feathers, its
wattles are more plump and firm, and
the plumage in general is more COM
pact. This is the male
The "buck-wheat" call that Is so
commonly supposed to come from the
male is, in fact, the cry of the female,
usually when frightened or excited.
She may be further detected by her
rOugher coat of feathers, and by her
wattles which are somewhat pale and
shrunken.
When guinea fowls are in the prime
of condition, as they should be after
spending the summer on free range,
the difference between the male and
female will not be so pronounced as it
is in the early summer, just after mat
ing time, and one should study the
birds carefully to insure a balanced
selection of stock for breeding pur-
poses.

PROGRESS IN ERADICATION
OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

The total number of cattle in herds
accredited as free from tuberculosis
exceeds 1,SS5,OOO The work of tu-
berculosis eradication is going for
ward Systematically in all states. Dur
ing the last month of the fiscal year
the inspectors engaged in tuberculin
testing applied the test to more than
100000 cattle, of which approximate
ly $4,000 were found to be affected
with the disease. The removal of
such reactors from contact with
healthy cattle, followed by the slaugh-
ter of diseased animals under federal
inspection, is gradually reducing the
extent of bovine tuberculosis through
out the country and benefiting both
the livestock industry and public
health.

Harvest Silage Corn
When Ears Are Mature

When corn is to be harvested for
silage, it should be cut when the ears
are mature but the leaves and stalks
are still green. Corn cut and bound
to be fed as dry forage should be cut
at the same time. 1t should be al
lowed to cure in shocks until dry and
then hauled in and piled. By this
method the ears are mature and well
filed and all of the forage value Of
the stalks is saved.
Corn should not be shucked out Of
the field until it has dried for several
weeks, after it has quit growing. 9th
erwise the corn will be hard to shuck,
will be apt to heat and mold and
make poor feed. In shucking from
the field it is good practice to have
a box in which to throw the better
ears. These can be specially dried
out and sorted for seed supply if
field-selectiOn has not been practiced,
or if there is market for seed corn.
AS the corn is shucked out il
should be hauled to a crib that is well
ventilated, and if possible protected
against rats and mice.-EXtension Bull

Offer Opportunity for De-
velopment of New Strains
for Definite Uses.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agri"nlture.)
All sweet clOvers are variable In
their habits Of growth, and many in
dividual plants of distinct type and
form may be found in nearly any
sweet-clover field. This offers an op-
portunity for the development of new
strains of sweet clover for definite
uses, according to L. w. Kephart, for
age crop specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Better Hay Varieties.
There is considerable interest at
present in the production of better hay
varieties, he says, since the common
sweet clovers, especially the white
lowered species, are too coarse and
heavy to make good hay from the Sec
ond years growth. Several good hay
varieties have already been developed,
notably the early Towering Grundy
County, Crystal Dwarf and Early
Dwarf varieties of white sweet clover,
and the Albotrea and Switzer varie-
ties of yellow sweet clover. Recently
a type of sweet clover bearing many
more and finer stems than the COM
mon sorts was found at two Of the
western Canadian experiment sta
lions. 1t resembles alfalfa so closely
that it is easily mistaken for that
plant. This important discovery will
no doubt add a distinct new type of
forage plant to the present list.
The need for winter-hardy types has
been met with the Arctic, or Hansen's
Siberian, a white-fiowered variety
from western Canada. A sweet clover
much better suited than the common
sorts to the cold, dry climate of the
northern Great Plains appears to have
been developed at the Redfield Is. d.
field station of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
On Acid Soils.
Several persons are endeavoring to
find sweet clover that will grow on
acid soils, lack of lime being a serious
hindrance to culture of the crop in
many localities. Still others are try
ing to develop a strain suited to the
drought and hot winds of the southern
Great Plains.
A type of sweet clover that would
be exceedingly useful, according to
Mr.. Kephart, is one that would re-
main green late in the fall, start
growth early the next spring, and re-
main green and in good feeding con-
dition well into the following summer
A number of experimenters, both on
farms and at experiment stations,
have approached this type with selec
tons of common white sweet clover
Perhaps even better results will come
from tests now being made with spe-
cies and varieties brought from Eu-
rope and eastern Asia, one such spe-
cies this year having remained green
six weeks later than any sweet clover
heretofore grown.
