ANSWERS CALL OF FRIEND
Deer's Remarkable Attachment to Man
Who Had Cared for It In Its
Helplessness.
A two-pronged buck doer answers
the calls of Jerry| Shine, employed by
the municipal water district at Alpine
dam, near San Raphael, Oal.
Long ago Shine one day came upon
a dead doe In the trail of the forest,
and standing beside the mother was a
fawn. It was mllea to Shine's cabin,
but he carried the fawn home with
him. fed It and gave It thte name of
Billy. After a time Shine left the dis
trict. He returned several days ago
and asked his fellow workers the
whereabouts of his deer. They laughed
at him; the deer had gone back to na
ture, they said.
Shine mounted th« parapet of the
dam and called for Billy. The deer,
now the proud possessor of two
pronged horns, bounded out of the for
est. A photograph was taken of the
man and the animal, as the latter rest

PROPER GRADING AND BAUNG OF
HAY DEMANDED BY CITY MARKETS
»
On ths First Leg of His Trip to City Market.
This Is the season of the year when
/aimers are sending their hay to tlie
city markets.
In the face of a marvelous Increase
In motor-propelled vehicles which eat
onl} gasoline. It Is worthy of note that
the production and consumption of hay
. In the United States has Increased
' stesdily year by year, reaching Its
highest point In hlstdry In 1019. This
year's yield will be only slightly less.
At the same time, the marketing of
hsy lias become a more particular un
dertaking. Formerly nearly all hay
was sold within 30 miles of the place
where It was grown. Now a large part
of It Is shipped by raH and some-ex
ported.
Two Kinds of Markets.
Market hay may he divided Into two
general classes: City market ha'y and
local, or country, market bay. The line
of distinction between the two clashes
Is hot always distinctly drawn, but it
may be said* that the demand In re
gard to quality and better ftradee Is
more rigid In the than on the local
market' It requires a better quality
of hay to grade as No. 1 on the city
market than on the local market.
Compared wltl) marketing May fn the
city, disposing of It ha the country Is
a comparatively simple matter. On
the local market the producer usually
comes 10 direct contact with the con
sumer and hay Is not sold according to
Its official grade hut on Its merit. It
Is designated as "choice." "good bright
hay," "fair," "medium." etc. This In
cludes all kinds of hay, and hence
there Is no necessity for the producer
to know the commercial grades.
When hay Is shipped to the city
market, however, the grade given by
shipper Is of the utmost Impor
tance. The prices of the different
grades of hay depend, In years of
normal yield, op the demand of city
consumers, who may be divided Into
three general classes according to the
kind of hay they feed. In the first
class are the drivers of fancy driving
and saddle hoi-sea. who feed the high
est qnallty hay. Such horses must be
kept In the best condition, and as No.
I hay Is very palatable and agrees
with the horses. It Is used to famish
the required bulk of the ration rather
than the quality of nutritive sub
stances It contains. High-grade hay
nlways finds a' ready sale, for the de
mand usually exceeds the supply.
The second class of consumed avoid

RIDDING FIELDS OF GOPHERS
Polaonlng Is by Far Moat Effective
Means of Exterminating De
structive Rodents.
Trapping and fnmlgatlon are two
of tbe more commonly practiced meth
ods of ridding fields of gophers, but
poisoning Is by far the more effective,
' although great care must be exercised
In order to prevent poisoning of either
tbe operator or farm animals which
have access to the field. A very ac
' tive poison must be used, as, for ex-£
ample, strychnine or cyanide of potas
sium. Pieces of potato, apple or sweet
' potato poisoned with strychnine cap
-1 SUICK answer the purpose very well,
and raisins or prunes treated In this
1 tvay have been found to give very
good results.

extremes In both price and grade and
feed the medium grades -of hay. In
the eastern part of the United States
No. 1 and No. 2 timothy are fed In
preference to the other grades and are
cheaper. Consumers of this kind are
beginning to use mixed (timothy and
clover hay) and legume bay, especially
alfalfa. In preference to unmixed grass
hay- * \
The third class feed the lower
grades, such as No. 3 timothy and
"no grade." This hay Is fed by many
horse owners because It; Is cheap, and
by owners of transient and sale stables
who want something to fill up the
horses and are not greatly concerned
with the nutritive quality Of the feed.
Experienced horse owners know that
when poor hay Is fed It requires a
larger grain ration than where better
grade hay Is used. The quantity,of
poor hay In the market Is much great
er than that of good hay.
Hay SHoUld Be Well Baled.
Most hay for city market nowadays
Is baled, and each year there Is con
siderable loss In marketing hay on ac
count of Improper baling. The rules
by which market hay Is graded require
that It be "sound and well baled.'
Properly baled hay consists jrt bales
of unlfonn size, having straight edges,
square ends, the proper number of
wires accurately plata), and baled In
such a manner as to stand handling
and shipping well. Each bale should
contain only one grade' of hay, com
posed of enough folds to be torn apart
easily when the wires are removed.
The size and weight of the bales are
Important In most markets. The pro
ducer should know the demands of the
market to which his hay Is to be
shipped. . Usually' a man snips his
hay into one general market where the
size and weight of bale Is uniform.
The small bale, up to 100 pounds. Is
much In demand because one man can
load, unload, and deliver it. This size
Is popular for handling where ship
ments are by river boat In the South.
For southern retell trade a bale not
more than 70 pounds—approximately
30 to the ton—ls popular. In several
eastern markets the large upright bale
weighing from 200 to • 225 pounds Is
preferred.
The producer should select his beet
hay tot the city markets, grade It
carefully, bale It according do the
market, and avoid shipping more than
one class of hay in the same car.
PLOWING,fOR BEST RESULTS
-
Little Bub*oll Turned to Burface Occa
sionally Permit* Element* to
Act Freely.
It has been abundantly proved tbat
It Is not good to plow a field the same
depth from year to year. By plowing
shallow or at a uniform depth, the soil
cannot become mixed well and a hard
bed Is formed at the bottom of the
furrow, which neither air, water, nor
the roots of plants will penetrate
readily. A little subsoil turned to the
surface occasionally allows _ the ele
ments to act upon It freely, thus liber
ating food as It mingles with the sur
face soil and vegetable matter. In
this way more valuable plant food and
greater depth of soil Is furnished the
plants which grow upon It
CLOVER AND ALFALFA CROPS
Seed Bhould Be Scarified and Bolt In

Cut Out Weeds.
The seed of all clovers and alfalfa
should be scarified and the soil Inocu

for greatest success. The soil for al

SCOUTS MEET VERDUN HERO
The Boy Scouts of America were
honored by being selected to greet
Qen. Robert Georges Nivelle, forme*
commander-in-chief of the French
army and famous hero of Verdun, up»
on his arrival in this country recently
to attend the Pilgrim Tercentenary
celebration. ▲ hundred and thirty
scouts took part In the reception.
At the French , line pier five picked
Eagle Scoutg met the general as he
came off the steamer which brought
him to New York. They were with
Dr. Charles 8. M«cFarlanJ, field scout
commissioner, who Is the general sec
retary of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ In America, on
whose Invitation Qen. Nivelle came to
this country. From the pier he wu
escorted to the Waldorf hotel where
five troops of boy scouts, a troop from
each of the boroughs of Greater New
fork, carrying American flags and a
French flag fifteen feet long, were
lined up at salute and were reviewed
by General Nivelle.
The scouts were greatly Interested
in the blazing star of the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honor which the gray
"tialred general wore on his army uni
form. His eighteen military honors
other than the Legion of Honor were
represented simply by five rows of
ribbon bart across his left breast.

comed by representatives of this great
organization whose Jamboree party of

an exhibition of scouting In parts
which opened his eyes and those of
many other men of affairs there as to
the great value of scout training In

New York by a representative of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
under whose auspices the contest' was
conducted among the entire member
ship of the boy scouts In the United
States' and Its possessions. At the
(Conclusion., of his work Major General
Wood issued the following statement:
"I cannot tell you with how much
Interest and appreciation I read the
essays from the boy scouts' conteet
with reference to flre prevention. The
Idea of this contest was a fine one. It
served to bring to the attention of the
boy scouts throughout the country a
most important flald of effort, namely,
that of vigilance In, measures looking
to flre prevention and the dissemina
tion of Information concerning the
sources of danger and what can be
done to prevent. The fundamental
cause of fifes Is carelessness, combined
with a certain amount of Ignorance. If
the boy scouts take up the campaign
in behalf of flre prevention and speak
. as intelligently as they have written
I feel that we shall soon reduce the
danger faom flre."
