PAGE SEVEN THE ECHO BEGISTEK, ECHO, OREGON. rnmAV. JULY 16. 1909 fern Farm Telepaaa". In some parts of the country tele phones are becoming very common. It eenis that once a telephone la estab lished In the family It Is there to stay. Other sections of the country are trery much behind the times In this respect, probably because no one has gone ahead with the preliminary arrange ments. A farm telephone Is not only a great luxury, but It Is fast becoming an ab solute necessity. With the addition ol more business to the farm every year and the scarcity of labor anything that vm atens is worth money, when vou eet accustomed to doing business over the telephone you realize Its treat value. A short time ago I heard a farmer order 100 bushels of seed oats by phone from another farmer about ten miles away. He had seen a sample at the fair last tall and made the ne gotiations accordingly. The business was transacted In about five minutes while the farmer was sitting at his desk after reading his morning mail left at the box by the rural delivery man. It would have taken him all day to get his mail and drive to the other farmer and buy his seed oats. But there Is a social side to farm life that is fostered by the telephone It often happens that a woman Is left alone for the day and she can easily .make arrangements to have a neigh bor call and spend the time pleasant Iv. Instead of feeling lonely. Then It Is so easy to make social arrangements for evenings or to meet friends as oc casion renulres. There are always people In a neigh borhood who are public-spirited enouch to ro ahead with the necessary arrangements to establish a telephone service. Others should encourage tnem promptly by subscribing to the fund required. Everybody Is benefited, he- cause the arrangement Is mutual In the neighborhood. Agricultural Epltomlst. A Tna Neat. The acfomnanvlna- nlan of trap nest Is quite simple and can be made from a box of suitable size. It should be 12 or 14 Inches square by 20 or 24 Ol'EN. CLOMKD. Inches Ion. The slats should be nailed to a crossplece about one-quarter the distance from the top. A couple oi nails are driven through the dox ana Into the crossplece to swing on. Half way back, on the Inside, a narrow piece of board Is nailed, back of which the nest la made. To set the trap simply raise the slats Inward from the bottom 8 or 9 Inches high and place a small stick under one of the slats. As the hen ntr th door is raised off the stick which falls to the floor. There should ha about five slats for a box 12 or- 14 Inches In width, slats close against Inch strip at bottom. whm Vrerrtablee Matare.

A few simple fertilizer maxims are so Important that they should be fixed la the mind. Per cent Is only nnther war for saying parts in 100. c-ortUizers mar be direct or Indirect in action. The former contains need ed plant food, the latter enables the plant to get food from soil or air. Lime Is not plant food under common tuinna- It corrects a bad condition of soil sourness and unlocks soil materials. Sulphate oi iron (copper as), sulphate of copper (blue atone), ninhata of magnesia (Epsom salts) and sulphate of Ume (gypsum) are among these Indirect fertilizers. ikuwa a Law Maer. First remove the handle, to get It eat of the way. Take a flat flle and file the edgea of the revolving blades, holm careful to flle each blade alike. and evenly, so all parti will strike the horizontal or stationary blade niT and alike at Its entire length. File also the horizontal blade, then adjust the revolving blades so taey will slightly rub on us boruoatai Aof Cholera, In the way of treatment the United States Bureau of Animal Industry has discovered a vaccine which saves about 80-odd per cent after cholera ap pears In a herd, and a larger per cent If vaccinated before the disease Is In troduced. Time will demonstrate the practicability of this method. The bacteriology department of the Kansas State Agricultural College Is also working along these lines, but Is not yet ready to announce anything but nroeress. When armntoma of cholera anoear In a herd. It la wlaa to din the whole herd, disinfect their quarters thor- ouehlv. elva them a slight change In feed, and add to this about live drops of tlncturs of prickly ash for each hundred nounds of hoe- once or twice a day. The old remedy of wood ashes and salt Is good In many Instances. A little nowdered suiuhate of Conner. dried sulphate of Iron or charcoal given dally when the animals are not perfectly healthy frenuentlv does much good. After all. the old adage, an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure, holds good here. Save tha Frrtlllaer. Fertilizer Is exuenslve. By the old method of dlstrlButlne- It there was usually enough wasted to represent a pretty penny. Then came along a Virginia man and invented the hand fer tilizer dropper. This de- vice consists of an odd shaped bucket, running to a point at the bottom and having a small open Ing there, through which the contents filters. A hinged valve, operated by a rod that leads to the handle oi me bucket, controls the flow. The top ol the rod Is connected to a crossbar which runs under the handle of the bucket. This bar Is In close reach and. when resting on the top of the bucket the valve Is open. To close the valve the operator merely extends a finger and lifts the bar. thus shutting off the fertilizer. The valve flares at the bottom, spreading the fertilizer In a broad, fine stream. For small larms. cardens and lawns this device is ol treat convenience, and Is a money' saver u-.i.r fur the Chlcka. Taka an ordinary baking pan and hava the tinsmith rivet on an ear mi na side for nailing to a tree Have him also make a hole In the bottom In one corner, that the water n ha let out every day and the pan be kept clean. Nail the pan to a tree about twelve Inches from tne ground . tha chicks can drink without get ting Into It with their feet. The birds will soon discover that it is a One ..toxp from which to get a drink on hot days. Sometimes they find, too, that it is a convenient place for a hath, and this of course makes the watr dlrtv. But It Is not much trou- i.i. to rcflll tho pan with clean water. and this should be done two or three tlmpi a dav. Chickens and birds re quire a great deal of water, and they often suffer tor lack of It. Don t ncg lect them. Boston Herald BASEBALL GLOVE'S SVOLUTXOS.

It via In 18SS that Arthur Irwin, I playing shortstop for Providence, broke I the third and fourth fingers of his ten hand and revolutionized the fielding same. He still ahows a little finger bent In almost at right angles and says as he shows It. "That did it," says Collier's. Tbeu a club was a team, not two or three teams. They entered the strnsele with ten. or at the most, elev en men a full team and one or two substitutes. If there were two pitch ers the one not In the box served as an outflc!d-s. A man took a day off only for serious cause. So Irwin, star Innelder. had to devise some way of I beating Lis Injuries. He consulted a I glover. They took a buckskin driving e-love. ruanv sizes too large, padded Si, made a fastening at the back, and sewed the third and fourth fingers to gether to make room for bandagea The crowd. Irwin knew, would forgive him because of his mangled condition. From the first time he took a ground er with that glove he noticed that he could now "meet" the ball solidly. He did not have to "ease off" and he could get away his throw quicker than any other man on the Infield. John Montgomery Ward, of the New York team, observed this. With monumen tal moral courage he got a glove like frwln'a anil used It in a tame. Ko one hooted him for his cowardice. Within two weeks after Irwin and Ward first took their gloves around the circuit a sporting-goods firm bad orders from professionals for a nun- I dred like them. By the next season ! nearly every professional was wear ' Ing one of the "Irwin gloves." Denny, jthe rugged old third baseman, was a ! conBDlcuous exception. To the end rf his days In baseball he played bare handed. In one resDect this Improvement pnmm In tha vary nick of time. In 188S-4, after long years of experiment and argument the pitchers had got their l'.berty. They could now throw the 111 overhand and free-armea. Having a box to get a running start and a shorter line to the plate than at present, they developed unprecedent ed .need. It needed more catchers than pitchers for a first-class team, so hard was this delivery on bands. The catchers took up the newfangled glove a-tfh enthusiasm. Manufacturers made them larger and larger, but still the fingered glove did not quite serve tha mimosa. In 1888. Jim W hlte. a third baseman, sewed a leather plate on the face of his Innelder s glove nd cot thereby good results with hot liners. Immediately the big catcher s mitt, claimed by two or three different invpntora. became a feature of the game. i Wit of the Youngsters rw Ktaar Sratva of Vaatllatloa. ventilation for stables and barns Is now regarded aa one of the essentials to be provided for In construction.
