Population and Attendance

Did you notice the paid attend
ance figures in the four A. A. cities
opening day and wonder what has
happened to Indianapolis? Louis
Vile drew 1850; Toledo, 1887; CO.
lumbus, 11,217, and indianapolis,
6.972. The Baseball Blue book lists
population in these cities as follows:
Louisville, 3O5,935; Toledo, 2S7,3S0;
Columbus, 27S,S36; Indianapolis.
35S,S19. Indianapolis, with the larg-
est population, turned in low attend
ance. Even the Columbus team,
bad tailenders for two seasons,
topped indianapolis turnstile count
by 4,245. Where are the rooters OF
yesteryear? The old town seems to
be slipping toward Glass B rating.

Easy to Cut in Half Quanti-
ty of Material Handled.

The trend among farmers toward
the use of higher-grade fertilizers is
bound to result in an appreciable re-
duction in the cost of growing crops.
"For," says A. w. Blair, soil chemist
at the New Jersey State College of
Agriculture, Rutgers university, it is
easily possible to cut almost in half
the quantity of material to be handled,
carted and shipped This means big
saving in freight bills alone"
Even a moderate increase in the
percentage of plant food in ferti-
lizer makes an important reduction in
the amount of inert materials to be
hauled. A ton of a 4-S-5 contains so
pounds of ammonia, 160 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 100 pounds of
potash, making in all $40 pounds of
plant food. The other 1850 pounds
are combining and conditioning mate
rials. On the other hand, 1000 pounds
of a 5-10-6 fertilizer will give 1856
pounds of plant food.
A common fertilizer for corn has
been one containing food elements in
the ratio of 4-S-4 and used at the rate
of 500 pounds to the acre. In 800
pound application there are 20 pounds
of ammonia. 40 of phosphoric acid and
20 of potash. Yet the same amount of
plant food would be obtained from 400
pounds of 5-10-5. Thus in fertiliz-
ing ten acres the farmer saves the
handling of and freight charges on
1000 pounds of material

"Oh, but you won't this one, ma am,

old. He comes from a long line of
blue ribbon winners. He's more In

rections as to his diet and care and
think that's all. Good morning."
and before the OLD woman could
frame protest the man was gone.
Left alone with dog! She, Caro-
line Frisby, who hated dogs. She
would ring the bell for Hannah and
she would order the dog sent back
at once. AS she rose from her chair
and started for the door the puppy,
whose idea of the world to date was
that it was full of love- warmth, milk
and dog biscuits, mistook her inten-
tion and, staggering forward on his
crooked legs, began to zip and growl
and cavort and finally in a perfect
ecstasy of joy rolled over on his fiat
back right under her feet.
Mrs. Frisby attempted to shove him
out of her way with her foot, but the
dog caught hold of the toe of her shoe
and began worrying it. In order to
get rid of him she stopped down and
attempted to grab him by the collar,
but the puppy, seeing a hand ap-
preaching, leaped up and kissed 1T
with his warm moist little tongue.
The old woman drew back her hand,
but she stood looking with fascinat-.
ed gaze into the friendly bright eyes
of the little dog. Why, after all, dogs
were not so bad-not this one at
least Maybe she would wait a bit
before calling Hannah-there was
plenty of time. 1t would do no harm
to watch the creature a moment, and
she went back to her seat by the win
dow.
An hour later when Hannah came
into the room, followed by Doctor
Dent, they found Mrs. Frisby sitting
by the fireplace with the puppy in her
lap. Her jeweled hand was gently
stroking the little fellows warm body
and he was sleeping. She looked up
with a smile when she caught the as
tonished look on old Hannah's face,
and the amused eyes of the young
doctor.
Il see my cure has worked" said
Doctor Dent, as he came to stand by
her side.
II think it has," answered Mrs.
Frisby soberly. But what if it
hadn't?"

said.
81 was going to bring my sweet
heart. She is sure cure for tidget-
it's"
"Who is she, doctor?" asked Mrs.
Frisby.
"Julia Markham"
"Julia Markham!" fairly cried the
old woman. "Why, she is my grand
niece-did you know it?"
"Not until after we were engaged"
said the doctor.
"Well," said Mrs. Frisby thought
fully, II promised Julia's mother
would make a home for that girl, but
1 never have. 1 have always thought
l hated young things"
"But do you?" asked Doctor Dent.
"Not now," answered the old wom-
an. "And if Julia has had sense
enough to get engaged to fine young
fellow like you, why, maybe it would
be good thing all the way round for
her and you and to live under this
roof together"

Prevents Losses to Stack Bot
toms and Tops and Is
Not Expensive.

Losses doe to spoilage of stack
bottoms and syps may be largely
avoided by using some kind of hay
barn." Walter G. Ward, extension
architect of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, advises farmers. For
tunately a shelter for hay does not
require expensive construction. Where
the hay shed is to be located in the
field or any place not intended for
feeding direct, pole construction is
very satisfactory. Hay sheds, OF
course, are made in many different
sizes and types, but for average con-
diticns, a width of "a feet will be
found convenient 1t is wide enough
to be economical in construction, but
not SO wide as to require much hand
labor, in handling hay with carrier"
Greatest Item of Cost.
As the roof represents the greatest
item of cost, hay shed should be
made fairly high, Ward suggests. The
side walls may well be 20 feet or
more in height.
AS the rigidity of an open pole shed
is dependent largely on the poles, they
should be set a or feet in the
ground. They may be spaced from
II to 16 feet apart, so it does not
require many of them to construct
hay shed of good size.
While some hay sheds are built
without covering the side walls, it is
a good practice to cover them part
way down to prevent rain and snow
from blowing on the hay when only
partly filled. If the side walls are 20

Young Trees in Need of
Moisture Before Winter

Young trees, especially evergreens,
need plenty of moisture before winter
sets in. There is constant evapora-
tion of moisture from the tops during
the winter. If they dry out too much,
they will not start at all in the spring
or they will come along very slowly
and probably die before midsummer.
If the soil is dry around the roots,
water them thoroughly and then
mulch them with stray or strawy ma
nure. The mulch should not be put
close to the trees but out about foot
to prevent the mice from working on
the bark. This protection will keep
the ground from freezing as early as
that which is unprotected so that the
roots may supply moisture for the
tops later in the fall. In addition the
mulch will keep the soil from being
dried out by the winds.

Suckering Corn Costly
Practice for Gardener

Suckering sweet corn is practice
handed down from time immemorial.
Gardeners have gene on removing
suckers, never doubling that it in
creased yield and quality. Recent ex-
periments by H. G. Thompson, Cornell
university, proved this practice not
profitable either in increasing the
yields or quality.
The work was carried on for five
years and showed that with varieties
which do not sucker heavily. there
was no evidence of injury from the
practice, nor any decided advantage.
With types which grow many suckers,
suckering didn't increase yield ma
terially, but added to the cost So to
$S an acre. During periods of extreme
drought or hot weather, suckering
even may prove injurious to corn.

Haul and Spread Manure
on Glover or Grass Sod

Manure loses something of it's value
every day it is kept. 1t is never bet
ter than the day it is made. Losses
that occur in the barnyard may be
partly saved if the manure is hauled
out at once and spread on a clover or
grass sod. There may be some loss
from washing or teaching, but most of
this will be deposited somewhere in
the field. The Ohio station has DEM
onstrated that. 1t has shown that
eight tons of manure hauled fresh
from the stable and spread on clover
sod in December and January gives
a crop increase of $40. An equal
amount of manure piled in the barn
yard and spread on the sod in April
or May gave an increase of $35.

Control Cabbage Worms
by the Use of Poison

Cabbage worms and cabbage aphids
usually make their appearance about
this season of the year in more or less
destructive numbers. Farmers will
find cheap and effective remedy for
controlling the pests in the use of lead
arsenate and nicotine.
The most effective mixture is one
containing 10 parts of powdered lead
arsenate to 100 parts Of hydrated lime.
This is busted ON the plants and does
not in any way impair the use of the
cabbage for human food, it is said.
Repeated doses of the poison dust
are necessary during the season, par
ticularly when the heads are forming,
ir really effective control is to be Sc
cured.
Where cabbage aphids are present
in any appreciable numbers, it is sug-
gested that per cent nicotine be add
ed to the poison dust. This will rid
the plants of the lice at the same time
that protection is provided against the
ravages of the cabbage worms.
