IT'S ENDED AT LAST The New York Yankee's baseball teem played a league gaane the other day without Lou Gehrig, perpetual flrst baseman, and that was about the same thing as to go into a city hall and fail to find a City .Clerk on. the job there. From May 30, 1925, untill Tuesday of last week Gehrig .had Played an every league game: an which. the Yankees .participated—a consecu• tire string of 2,310 games. That was indee!t remarkable record, a •demonstration of stami0 on rhe part of the: New York player and, mole than that, a revelation+ of the extent to widen good fortune had smiled upon him. We say good fortune advisedly because, to compile 9 record of that kind, a player has not only to br durable but he must be ducky as well. It is safe to say that not a park attendant. ticket seller, program boy or any other employee of a big league park can look back to May of 1025 and boast that he has not missed a game in all that thee. They probably have all had their days off in. that long stretch bet day after day, year after year, Gehrig played without a miss although, he was engaged in n game in which there are many chances of injury. It does not seem possible that a man cowed go through tha., many diamond battles. without once sustaintug an injury serious enough to keep hint out of the line-up for a day or that Ire could indeed be fortunate enough to carry on over so long a Period wdthout an illness bad enough to. cause hint to quit the game temporality. It is quite possible, of course, to see that thr compilation of this endurance record may have hastened the clay when Gehrig will leave big league competition for ever. He must hare played on numerous occasions when If at had not been for the sake of keeping that record intact he would have laid off for repairs. and the truth probably is that his, apparent crack-up now has been at least partly due to the fact that Ile bas often remained In the Yankee lineup when under other circumstances he would have taken a mulch -needed rest. dh is improbable that any other player will aver equal the Gehrig performance ant possibly now that he has collapsed the folly of even trying to approach it may become evident. ee ee *le AS IT WAS ON THE TENTH- brivin'g through the canon[', we noticed three places where there was a good; sized piece of carpet on the line, and although they were all separated) by several miles they were all beteg beaten. No reflection on the methods oe housekeeping to record that in each case there appeared to be a Mair -sized poke of dust. Housecleaning, , It was sa suet, at Lot 4, •Coneeaslou man, and no person ever enjoyed it very much either. It always began by taking the carpet out of the parlor, although that wee about •the least used ,room In the house with the exception of the spare bedroom.

SCUFFLER FOR OPENING POTATO DRILLS A comer method of platnting the term potatoe patch is to plough In •the Bets, ere that case they may be carefully placed aloe„ the heel of the turned furrow; they may be placed newt the laudside or they may be d1'0pped carelessly across the furrow sole. In the two former instances backaches may result while eben while care la plecement the rows will not be straight unless the ploughing is straighht. Cirooked furllows Impede subsequent cultiva- tion and increase hoeing. 011 the Dominion Experimental Stub -station at Beaverlodge, Alberta, the practice to first to prepare the land well then. mark it out with a sled 'marker blacking three-foot rows, Three and a half might be better for some varieties. The side arms are then removed from the scuffler which has two teeth left, a narrow one in front and a wider one etradght beaded it. A team Is kitchen to the scuffler.and the oper- ator sights between the horses. passing once or twice along each mark and bearing down heavily on the handles. A V-shaped furrow six or eight inches deep is thus opened but some dirt drops back so that tbio sets are usually placed about 31A or 4 Inches deep, with a little loosened soil beneath each 0110. The sets may be dropped in a straight line without the opera- tor bending 113s back. A pressure of the foot embeds the set firmly in 111e soil. Even if the sled marks are not perfectly straight the fur• rows may he made ,practically so where the scuffler Is driven twice along the row. Straight rows ars the mark of a good farmer or Bard• • ever, To fill the furrows the side teeth may be .prat in the .snffler so as to throw ou:k, and run between. the TOWS, A little attentions with the hoe will cover the add set that has been missed. • • • PREPARING POULTRY FOR 3%z TO 4%a LB. I•n preparing poultry to we1,:11 when dressed- 31 to 41/2 lb., the birds, should have normal treatment up to within four or five weeks to killing time, that is, to say, a well balanced starter ration folbowed by sora.tch• grain and a suitable grow- ing ration. At the period referred to the, cockerels whlcle are Intended for market should be placed on a limited range so as to restrict their activity, shade and' proper roosting accommodation being provided, From this time until marketing, weight is reached they should be soot fed using skim milk or butter. milk as a mixer, Such a feeding, tiu'ee tinsels a many, should permit of satisfactory growth with a greater proportion of fat being laid down under ordinary rearing ereabnrent. Since white fieslling will be desired the 141nited range should not have green growth, on it and feeds which psodluce yellow fat such as yellow corn should not be fed or if tell eloul2' be given only In small quantities, Since corn is the most satisfabtory grain for fattening Purposes, it should. snake up a por- tion of the fattening mash, ground white rather than yellow corn being used. Buclewheat and wheat are the next most satletactory grains with oats and barley being somewhat interior and of similar ellflcleney. A combination 09 any of the above grains. on the basis of their comparative value and of availaihlltty and cost should form the basis for a sabletfaotery kation. During .clue test .tiwe weeks of faetening five per cent of melted mutton or beef fat should be added to the mixture. "Plats is accent - Oohed by melting the fat and mix- ing quickly with the mash while hot so as, to avoid large lumps, All feedingsshould be left before the birdie. for from twenty minutes to one half hour, any unconsutnetl residue being then removed, • * • PARASITES IN SHEEP STOMACH WORM CONTROL Snteamsl parasites have always Veen one of the major taluses of losses in sheep flocks throughout the world, spates Professor W. E. S'wales, B.V.Sc., Ph, D., Institute of Parasitology, Macdonald . College, P.Q., in the publication "The Con- trol of Stomach Worms in Sheep in Eastern Canada" -which .has jus' been published as a farmers' bulle- tin by the Dominion Department or Agrinutlure. ;In Canada, failure to give eff0cttive treatment for the con- trol of internal parasites has been one of the most general causes of lack of thriftiness in growing lambs and. in many cases of heavy infesta- tion has resulted in loss through death. Ineffestlie control of 113- teraal parasites bias therefore been one of the main reasons for lank of expansion an the sheep industry in Eastern Canada. The pue ose of the publication, which deslribes an effective treat• meet for stomach worms, Is to re move f1-0 mdihe minas of sheep owe - ere the fear. of parasites• andto as. sure them that there is less cause for worry an Oanada than in almost any other part of the world. By that is meant, the methods that can be employed in Canada to prevent parasitic diseases' are simpler, and, clue to the help of long winters an cleaning pastures, can be made ef- fective with little work or ewpense, AYbhough there are about 25 kends of paansitir, worms infesting sheep he Canada, only two of these con- stantly cause disease in Eastern Canada. These two are the Twisted wire Worm in the stomach and the Nodular Wormy which lives in the large intestine, and whose young stages cause nodular disease or "Knotty Gut" in the intestines. As the result of critical tests, It is now poslble to control completely Orr dangerous stomach worm in flocks in. Ontario, Quebec and the Mari- time Provinces, Nodular disease in Eastern Canada presents a mare difficult problem and le net brought 11000r control by the ...treatment recomended in the buddetln for stomach wormst but rapid progress is being made towards securing a•1 effective treasure of noduled dl sease eonitrol. When this is achiev- ed a bulletin will be issued on ,the subject, The. buletjn 'The Control of Stomach. Worms in Sheep in, Eastern, Canada" may be obtained free of charge from the Publicity and extension Division Domenion Department of Agricul• tore, Ottawa.
