1 By HAL SHERIDAN Surprisingly good play by teams that before the opening of the base- ball season were considered not to have as much chance as an ‘“‘open town” politician in Los Angeles, has served during the early days of spring to draw big crowds to the va- rious yards of the Organized Base- ball domain. So the magnates are smiling broadly but not so broadly as to eclipse their arch enemies of the Federal organization. President Gilmore’s insurrectos failed to bow to the lofty disdain of Ban Johnson. The predicted ‘cor- poral’s guard” that would attend the Federal contests swelled on the open- ing days to anywhere from 15,000 persons to a million—the latter be- ing the Federal figure, the former be- ing only the truth. Newark respond- ed to its new major team as Phila- delphia responded to “Billy” Sunday and Billy was not greatly disappoint- ed there, either. Now comes Patrick Powers, or Pat if you don’t like the disguise. Mr., that is Pat, Powers vociferates with much positiveness that the Federals will have a team in New York in 1916. That was said in 1915. But Pat always has a convincing way. Mr. Powers divulges that the New York club is already organized. All it needs is a park, some players and a crowd. The mazuma, which is a synonym for dough, glue or good baseball teams, as you please, is sub- scribed, asseverates the Fed magnate. Not only will New York have a team, emphasizes Mr. Powers, but the Federal league does not want peace—at least not worse than Mex- ico or Austria. He adds that the T Federal owners are so tied up that they will forfeit everything should they agree to separate terms. Recognition as a major league, both by the public and O. B, is the Federal goal and Powers believes that by the end of the year- it will be achieved. Grafting Nut Trees. One of the most successful methods yet devised for grafting nut trees is the “bark graft” method, says the Na- tional Stockman. In this case the stock is not aplit, as in cleft grafting, and the scions are tapered on one side only, as shown in a In the accompanying illustration. This is then pushed down between the wood and bark, as shown at b, and BCION AND STOCK. about the end of the stock or prefera- bly by wrapping with strips of waxed muslin cloth. The exposed surfaces should then be thoroughly waxed to prevent loss of moisture. The tips of the scions should also be waxed if they have been cut. It is usually better to cut them than to use scions with ter- | minal buds. : safe candlestick if a small nail be driven into the bottom of ‘a candle to make it float upright. ot ABRAHAM LI NCOLN SAl WITHOUT, TWO_ CERJT I 3SAID.

Harding, professor of dairy bacteriology, University of Tilinols.] In producing clean milk the object of first importance i8 the cow herself. If she 18 covered with fllth so that this @lth falls mechanically. into the pail during the milking process the milk will be filthy. If, on the other hand,| the cow is clean and is milked by a clean individual into clean utensils the the milk will contain very little objec- tionable material—that s, the milk will be clean in the ordinary sense of the word. This word “clean” must be used in regard to milk with some understand- ing of what the situation really is. The cleanest class of milk on the mar- ket 18 “certified milk,” which is pre- pared under unusual conditions with regard to the cleanliness of the cow and her surroundings. The results from the Scoring of this certified milk at competitions in various parts of ‘the. country are avallable and indicate that’| only about one bottle of this milk in ter cannot be readily detected, either with the naked eye or with a low pow- er reading glass. When the highest grade of certified milk is in this un- cleanly condition it is not fair to insist that the ordinary milk which sells at not much more than half the price shall be absolutely clean. - - The amount of foreign matter which will fall froni.thé cow Into the pail’ The use of pure bred sires in dairy herds has come to be such a universal practice that large grade herds of almost any of the dairy breeds are to be found Such herds quickly take on the characteristics of the breed of the sire. This is especially true of Guernseys. the prepotency of the blood showing "very plainly in the characteristics of all the stock, so that even in the first generation we have a herd which very closely approaches in characteristics the pure bred type A very fortunate coincidence Is that the characteristics of the color and quality of the milk are found also. This is especially true where tlie Guernsey sire is used with native stock. The cow here shown is Tay- lor's Cream Cup., a' pure bred Guernsey. g during the milking process can be very wnch reduced by using a milk pafl which has the top partially covered. A milk pail with a cover having an oval opening 5 by 7 incbes. will cut out more than half and usually as much as three-fourths of this foreign matter. The cleanliness of the cow is also help ed by having the stall of proper size and construction, so tbat she may be Kept out of her own filth. Proper use of bedding is also important. also use of currycomb and brush. The cleaning of cows In this way is unfortunately not as common & practice as it should be. It tukes a small amount of time and causes a correspondingly small ndded expense, but hecause the clean- liness of the cow Is all important in this matter of clean milk production the siight expense’ at this point gives very large returns.

Investigations Show an Increase In Milk Production Due to Silage. [Prepared by United States department of egriculture Before the use of silos .became so general as it is today representatives of the United States department of agri- culture compared the records of seven Mississippi dairy herds, which had only dry. feed, with that of one herd of twenty-three cows, which was fed on corn silage in addition. The investiga- tion showed an increase of 36.81 per cent in'mflk production, due to the use of ‘sflage. - - & i During the: summer months, when the rations for both groups were prac- tically- the same," the average produc- tion per eow was also almost the same. During the: winter: months; however; the average monthly production for the 247 dry fed cows dropped 13.67 gallons per cow, while the average monthly production of the twenty-three silage fed cows decreased only 8.38 gallons. ‘Thus the silo’owner obtained 10.29 gal- lons more each month from each of his cows than he would have if he had not been able to feed them silage. A gain of this kind in a herd of, let us say, twenty cows would at the end of the three winter months of Novem- ber, December :and January amount to a total of 617.4 gallons for the entire herd. . At 30 cents a gallon this means $185.22, In addition to this profit from the in- creased production of milk, there was an actual saving in cost of feed. In BUILDING ‘A CONORETE SILO. the ‘three months when there was a material difference in the rations of the two groups it was found that each cow 1in the dry fed herds cost $4.10 to maintain; inrthe silage fed herd, $3.50. Fluctuations "in prices- from year to year and varying local conditions nec- essarily affect estimates of this kind, but there is no longer any doubt that the proper feeding of silage to dairy cows actually.reduces the cost of feed per cow, while it increases the flow of milk. In the’ case of the .Mississippi herds mentioned it was found that dry fed cows produced a gallon of milk at a cost of 1468 cents and a pound of butter fat for 29.93 cents. The silage fed herd produced milk at 8.95 cents a gallon-and butter fat at 20.98 cents. Thus the saving in the cost of produc- ing milk by use of silage was near- Ly 40 per cent‘and in the case of butter fat nearly 30 per cent. A The cost of the silo, like the resultant saving, depends largely upon local con- ditions ‘and upon the size of the herd. A ninety ton silo, 14 by 80, will feed months, allowing forty pounds for each cow. Exclusive of labor the cost of such a silo bullt of concrete -has been estimated' at $160. To this should be added approximately $125 for a cutter and blower elévator dnd the cost of an engine to run the cutter and blower. In some communities it is possible, of course, to hire the engine, or two or three farmers may unite in purchasing one, thus very considerably reducing the expense. It is estimated that a concrete silo costs on the average $2.50 for each ton capacity, including material and labor, and a wooden silo $1.50, although local conditions may affeet these figures.
