The idea that straw is only of
value to rot down into manure has had
lis day. 1t has very little value for this
purpose, and if no better use can be had
for it there would be good policy in
selling straw wherever there was a
near market. But bright wheat or oat
straw makes valuable part of the
ration for horses or store stock. II
needs to be fed with grain, but with
either corn or oats, cut straw makes in
most places better and cheaper feed
than hay alone.

WAYS partly filed. II is an excellent
plan to find how much horses really re-
quire, and then feed them just so much
and no more. Do not be alarmed if
everything is eaten clean in the morn
ing. That is the way it should be, yet
always taking care to give enough.

The Ortonyille Headlight, in a
report of the Stevens county far
mers' convention, says: - suggest
i've feature of the proceedings was
the loyalty to the two old parties
evinced by the persistent efforts of
the representatives of each to choose
delegates Of their political faith. !"
The Headlight is off. We were pre-
sent on the occasion referred to and
failed to notice any persistent
efforts" eyinced by any one present
in the choice of delegates. In fact
there is not the slightest foundation
for such a statement. That politics rul-
ed in the convention is more than the
Headlight or any Morris reporter to
the same is able to say.

One of Gov. Marshall's reasonings
in favor of liberating the Younger
brothers at the end of ten years inn
prisonment is as follows: "The sta
tistics of prisoners show, believe.
that fraction over nine years is the
average term served by life prisoners.
In our state, allowance is made for
good conduct, eqnal to six days in each
month. The Youngers have by their
unvarying good conduct earned this
full allowance. If their life sentence
were commuted to twelve years they
would 60 out with--this deduction-at
the end Of ten years." a good deal
Of talk is being done on this subject
but no alarm need be felt that the
Youngers will eversbe let loose upon
the public again. The subject will
no doubt answer the purpose ofcreat-
ing periodical sensations. and that is

The First Base Ball Match.

Just 20 years ago yesterday, on the
10th OF June, 1915, was played the
first match game of base ball. 1t oc-
Cured in Hoboken N. j., though
both contesting clubs belonged in
New York. This original match
game consisted of only four innings,
the rule then being that the club first
making 81 runs in even innings
should be the victor. The rules did
not provide for the calling OF either
balls or strikes. and hence, if player
reached his first base in safety, his
successor at the bat would idly stand
at the home plate. watching the pitch
er and catcher as they tossed the ball
back and forth, and waiting for the
latter to let the ball so past him and
so enable the base runner to reach
second, then third, and then home.
He never made any attempt to strike
the ball until the run had been secur-
ed.-From the Philadelphia Times.

The result of the farmers ccnyen-
yention at Graceville yesterday seems
to have been compromise betwe en-
them and the republicans OF the dis.
trict, and, as representing the pur-
poses Of the alliance. the nominations
are good and bad. The little we have
claanea of the histo ry of Mr.. dickson.
the nominee for the senate. ana of
Grant county. gives us the idea OF a
man OF sterling parts, farmer, and
worthy of the unani nous support of
farmers. AS for Mr.. Costello, We are
at Il fetal loss to understand the
grounds for his nomination. it being
understood that he had been selected
for the republican machine nominal
ton, unless indeed, it was effected by
an understanding between the alliance
and the republican politicians, and at
Il sacrifice of the prin ciEles for which
the farmers thave been patiently
striving. In pursua nee of this under
standing we look for an endorsement
by our republican friends of this
mongrel ticket, they wisely conclud-
ing that half loaf, Costello. is better
than no bread at all. We cannot, but
think that sooner or later the farmers
| will acknowl edge their blunder in
| making any concession to the demands
| of do ninating politicians.

says: that farmers and chinchbugs are
busy arvesting, and it is question
which will get the largest share Of
the wheat. Reports from surround
ing towns are to the effect that all
late sown grain will hardly pay for
cutting, while the wheat that was
sown before the early rains and also
winter wheat is looking well and will
give an average yield.''
