altogether (3) the increased cost of
cultivation of wilt Infected spots due
to the foothold obtained by crab grass
nut grass cockleburs and other weeds
after the death of the cotton: HI a
depreciation in the market value of

These losses probably amount to
more than 12000 (ion per annum and
are annually Increasing

eastern state and It is easier to breed
resistance direct from Upland va-
rieties than from crosses with Kgyp-
tlan cotton
The use of resistant varieties has
been shown by experiments In most
of the southern states to be a sat-
isfactory method of combating wilt

The Neapolitan Pepper
Tbe Neapolitan pepper should be
grown more largely by gardeners
where condition are not especially
favorable for peppers It Is much
easier than other varieties of tbe
same type and attains a size which
wsHsffes market requirements Pep-
pers sre grown most extensively
southward In New Jersey and other
prominent trucking regions but they
might be produced profitably at high
altitudes which sre comparatively free
from late spring and earl fall frosts
Tbe grower should be assured of a
market before planting largely

SELECTING IDEAL DAIRY COW
There Are Several Essential Point to
Be Taken Into Consideration-
Few Important One
In selecting cows for dairy herd
there are several essential points to
consider The cow should have great
stomach capacity avoid a round
bodied cow whose ribs are abort and
a flat ribbed cow There should be
ample room for tbe udder which
ih e
The Ideal Dairy Cow
should extend well forward and not
hang down The milk veins should
be large and the farther they go the
better The udder should be loose and
pliable when empty — not fleshy
The eyes should he large and bright j cn t if KCl “ h
and projec t well out from the face ’ RrandetanJ lie wait lo-s too i lcher
This Is a strong Indication of the I or a ho cas0 rnny
nerve force needed for strong diges-
tion and large milk secretion
The dairy cow should be deep and
wide from one to two as this gives her
large capacity for rough feed The
back from one to fotyr should be shnrp
With little flesh when she is In good
condition She should be well cut up
behind so that the udder ran extend
well up as at three Her flank should
be well arched as at five to provide
room for a large udder
CROPS FOR GOOD ROTATION
Excellent Method of Succession to
Support Herd cf Fifty Hogs With
Pigs — The Plan

GENERAL FARM NOTES
Feed the slop to the hogs before
tbe grain Is fed
Never attempt to keep summer but- ! Fisher how he liked big league pitch-
ter for early fall prices because it I log far had essayed it "Just
will not keep
Look out for all breeding places for
mosquitoes and flies abolish them
Kow a good patch of carrots for
the horses this year If you never have
before
When two horse become accus-
tomed to working together don't
change them
If the Incubator doe tbe haUhlng
you can keep Hie hens laying all the
time
Put a shallow box of buckwheat
shorts near the calf It will soon be-
gin to eat It
Any enterprising farmer living near
a town of Shoo or more can sell
every pound of ills butter at full retail
prices or little above the year round
If the ewes are young they may not
let the lambs sink tint!! they are held
onre so that the lambs ran get at
them There I no trouble after that
Goats do not fatten on pasture a
fast as sheep! They prefer' 'brush' but 1
brush is not a fattener They ought
to take kindly to straw-
There Is great room for more dairy
work In the south Millions of dollars
are sent north for cheese butter and
other dairy products that ought to be
made at home
Making the hens do all they are
capable of JoLng and then through
selection and breeding growing bet-
ter hens will rut any poultry plant
on a paying basis
When the vigor of the flock Is low
productiveness cannot long be kept 1
up therefore the profit will be very
little if any so It pays to keep the '
flock vigorous
Menace to Health
Owners of country homes some-
times forget that the manure pile Is
a menace to the health of the family
particularly ia this the case when
within easy reach of the dwelling
Although a most excellent fertilizer
there Is nothing that will breed flies
more quickly or certainly than stable
manure and If It be true as no doubt
It is that they carry disease then tbe
unsightly heap should be removed to
tbe garden or field where Its value Is
appreciated
The Shortage in Swine
Ve can't Import swine to make up
a shortage This Is tbe great awine

LOOK OUT YOU BUSH LEAGUE PLAYERS
MAYORS’ SCOUTS ARE WATCHING YOU
Experts Are Roaming Around the Land Hunting for 300 Hitters
and “Phenom” Pitchers— Connie Mack Pays $12000 a
Record Price for Pitcher “Lefty” Russell of the
Baltimore Team
These are the days in which the
fnyaterlous baseball scout la roaming
around the land Tbe big teams are
looking for players and It ia through
the work of the acouta that most of
them are obtained
A manager picks up a morning pa-
rer and reads bow the pitcher of a
team In some bush league shut out
his opponent without a hit Or else
it may be a story about some out-
fielder or Infielder who In five times
at hat got a home run a triple a
double and two singles
"Go to filankviltc and look at that
trnn Smith” says the manager to the
scout "Get him If you think he’ll do”
Then out goes the scout lie lands
In Plarikvllle keq s his Identity a se-
or fielder as the case may he It
I makes no difference whether the man
I wins that ddy or not The scout Is an
I expert and he can tell hy the man’s
! actions whether he really Is a i layer
1 or Just happened to have one day of
j phenomenal luck
Probably other scouts are on the
scene Then it is a case of the high-
1 eat bid taking the player If lie really
Is the goods If there la no other scout
present the one who is there notifies
j his boss and the matter is taken un
with the owner of the team to which
the player belongs It Is against the
j rules for a big league owner to nego-
tiate with the player direct
That’s the way most of t lie players
1 are obtained hy the major league
i teams hut when a deal Is put through
I like the one recently closed by Con-
nie Mack manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics and Manager Jack Dunn of
the paltlmore Kastern league team
for the services of 'Tefty” Russell a
pftchcr it Is generally because of the
record the j layer has been making for
himself
It Is reported that Mark has paid
or Is to pay Dunn 11200 for Russell
If this 1 true and It probably Is it
is a tecord price for a player being
$10I inure than Manager McGraw of
1 the New York Gian's paid for Mar
quard purchased from Indianapolis
Russell is to finish the season with
Paltlmore and then join the Athletics
lie Is said to have a "spit'er” that
rivals that of Pig Kd Walsh of the
Chicago White Sox or the one used hy
Russell IVird the new star Of the New
York Highlanders If he has h is
worth 1 1 2uu0
When a player In an effort to com-
pliment young Fisher told the raw-
boned Yank that he had shown tome
thing during his three innings as
pitcher Fisher calmly answered In a
philosophical sort of speech: "Yes I
showed that I had more luck than
some of the good pitchers on this
club” Another well-wisher asked
like pitching anywhere else You’ve
got to pitch all the time and outlurk
the batter If you do not you look
bad” he replied
"Always baa there been and always
will there he too much fuss made over
'no hit' games” remarked Addle Joss
not long ago "I mean hy this that
generally there ts too much cred!?
given to tbe man In the box and not
enough to the rauher and to the men
In the field the men who made the
no-hit’ game possible Strictly speak-
ing there is of course no sqch thing
as a ’no hit game The only posslhl
‘no-hit’ game would he one In which
the pitcher struck out twenty-seven
men In which the raicher had all of
the twenty-seven put-outs and In which
not even a chance was offered
an?
other of the nine players on the team
"1 doubt If one ever heard a pitcher
boast of having been the hero of
aue- 1‘‘ to° l0
era certain ball to a certain
he was helped along to fimie by the
men behind him knows Ifow large a
meed of the praise Is due the catcher
who coached him along
"Base hits — some base hits — and
put-outs — some put-outs — are so near-
ly analogous that It Is folly to talk of
what a pitcher ‘Intended’ when he of-
batter
"If It Is the lucky pitcher’s day the
ball will be batted straight into the
hands of some fielder If It doesn't
happen to be the pitcher's day the bail
batted a foot or two out of
the fielder reach and Instead of
an
easy put-out' as It is set down in the
records there Is ‘a smashing double
to center'
"See the point? The pitcher puts
up a certain kind of a ball to a bat-
ter one day and the batter sends an
easy fly to an outfielder Iollie next
game between the same clubs the
pitcher sends up the same kind of a
ball This time It is batted In a slight-
ly different angle and tbe batter gels
credit for a double or a triple
"Of course to pitch a ‘no bit game
a pitcher must be at bis best but I
have worked harder and felt 'fitter'
so to speak In a game where a half-
dosen drives went safs than ever I
did la a ‘no bit’ battle
“The average fan does not stop to
considar the ‘details’ of a 'no hit'
game lie sees the cipher In the box
score
"‘Ah ha' be shouts 'they never
touched Mm'

"Cy" Young
"He overlooks such paragraphs as:
"Miartsel came In like a streak fo
a rhoe-string catch of Graney’a liner
in the first' or w
“'Murphy had to go into the bleach
ers for laird’s long line foul la th
sixth’ and so ou"
The veteran twlrler Cy Young ot
the Cleveland Naps has set a record
for others pitchers to aim at and it
is likely that it will be a long time be
fore any of them even equal It Young
a few days ago pitched his 600th vlo
tory In 21 years of service In th
Major leagues the great twlrler has
taken such rare of himself that he it
still in prime condition and probably
good for a couple more seasons al-
though It Is said he will not play
again after this year He has two no
hit no-run games to his credit In his
long years of service and several one
hit victories fill the pages ot LU
achievements on the diamond
President Harney Dreyfus says: ”1
sin at a loss to understand how a
team that won the world's champion
chip last year rould fall off so much
In form In such a short time Th
remedy I Just as far beyond me I
hag been suggested that we g-t new
stars but if those making this sugge
tion will supplement It with a little
information as to where these stars
are to be found or procured I will
gladly band them a fat bonus fo
their trouble 1 tell you this thing Is
beyond me”
