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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

jthe rugged old third baseman, was a
! conBDlcuous exception. To the end

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.
