The first inning deoided the game as in this the Franklinton team was abut ont and the Looisburg boys fairly knocked Ridgeway out ot the box, with a result that they scored five funs. Immediately npon the ; beginning of the second inning- Franklinton saw that if they continued to pitbh Ridgeway they would either Tiot play out the game or not get home that night as he was an easy mark for our boys. Upon realizing this they replaced Ridgeway, a former 'Red bird, -ufith McKeithan, who showed himself to better advantage. Owing to the faot"~that Louisburg ?f already had five runs tocher credit our hove did not try to acore'again and auooteded in keeping the visi. tors from doing so. Therefore the game resulted in a shut out in the remainder. _ f There was muoh pretty work done on both aides, but the tielding of our boys was excellent and including the f" congratulations.

All products which oan be fed to live stock, which have a market value, have a doable value to the farmer. This, double value oonsists ol their market or feed value and their fertilizer value. For instance, pasture crops yield their feed value, and in addition about 90 per cent of theit tertilixer value is left on the land, for on an average only about 1.0 per oent of the fertiliser value of the feeds are retained' by the live stook. crops mat mult M narveeted ana fad in h?i??or "IT*1"" " the land where produoedTylelcTEJje farmer a lea* value in plant food* retnrn - ?'-v . ??_7 S ^ r- T .
