System Is Wrong.

An editorial writer in the Chicago
Times-Herald declares that the whole
system upon which the magnates have
conducted the baseball business is all
wrong" and declares that leach team
should be made really representative
in a measure at least of the city whose
name it bears" Patrons care little
where the players who compose their
team come from SO long as they play
first-class ball and occupy a promi-
nent place in the race. The system
upon which the National League is
conducted is all wrong because it is
partnership in which the good of the
whole is subordinated to Individual ad-
vantage. Instead of making an honest
effort to equalize the playing strength
of the twelve clubs and thereby build
ing up a paying patronage in every
city on the circuit, the stronger clubs
have despoiled the weaker Of the Ma
tional League clubs of a star player
at every opportunity and have antici-
pated the draft each year by purchas-
ing the best of the minor league taleut
at prices that their less prosperous
partners could not afford. Instead of
distributing their surplus players

Cuban Players Coming.

A team made up of the best players
from the clubs in the Cuban League
will tour the South, North and middle
West of this country during the month
of August, under capable and respon-
sible management. Baseball is the ia
vorite outdoor sport of the Cubans,
and their expert players are up to the
standard of cur minor league talent.
The attendance at the championship
games at Havana averages 5000, and
Americans who have seen these con-
tests enthuse over them because they
abound in brilliant plays. President
Farrell of the New York League is
negotiating with Messrs. A. Lenares
and w. w. Laidlaw, the gentlemen who
will have charge Of the Cubans' tour.

attraction, managers can depend upon

Of patronage. The players stand high
socially, have good positions in mer-
camille life, and have played baseball
from boyhood. They do not appeal for
support as freaks or curiosities, but
rely upon their ability as ball players
to merit kindly reception and sports
manlike treatment in the United
States. After their tour in this coun-
try in July and August they will re-
turn to Cuba, prepared to welcome the
National League players under the
management of F. G. Bancroft of the
Cincinnati club, and make their visit
to Havana pleasant and profitable. Mr..

1t is not necessary for the success Of

Third ISaseman Wallace.

When r. j. Wallace succeeded James
McGarr as the Cleveland clubs third
baseman many experts expressed Re
opinion that Manager Tebeau wou d
find out that he had spoiled a good
pitcher by trying to make an infielder
of him. In less than a month Wallace
was classed with Collins of Boston,
and his phenomenal plays at third be-
came the talk of the baseball world.
Surprise was expressed when this YER
satile player was transferred from
third base to shortstop to make room
for Lave Cross but he has acquitted
himself SO well in his new position
that his success is assured and his

The Soy Bean as Farm Crop

A bulletin of the Indiana Experiment
Station says: A comparatively new
and promising leguminous crop for In
diana farmers is the Soy bean. This
plant has been successfully grown in
different parts of the state and at
several points farther north in the
United States. 1t thrives in good corn
soils, and will grow wherever corn can
be successfully produced.
Being a quick maturing annual, it
will prove especially helpful to those
who cannot grow clover. A crop OF
soy beans can be produced between the
spring and autumn frosIs anywhere
in the state. The soy bean may be
grown for pasture, green forage (soil-
1ng), for hay or silage, or for seed. 1t
will yield nine to u tons of green fod-
der, IL to 21h tons Of hay, and 10 to
40 bushels of seed according to variety,
condition of soil, etc.
Varieties.-f seed is desired, the
earlier varieties, only, should be grown
in northern Indiana. The Medium
early varieties will doubtless mature
in most parts of the state, and are to
be preferred owing to th..r greater
yield. The later varieties might be
grown for soil renewal or soiling, but
they would hardly mature seed.
Culture.-The soil may be prepared
as for corn. If impoverished by prev
ious cropping the soil should be well
supplied with lime, potash and phos-
phoric acid. heterogeneous manures have
also proved beneficial in New England.

with the wheat drill, in rows 16 to "a
inches apart, or with the corn drill to
be cultivated as corn. The earlier va
rieties Of soy bean may follow crop

standing corn at the time Of the last
cultivation, if the weather is season.
able. If sown in corn put in two rows
Of soy beans between each two rows OF
corn. Sow about two pecks to the acre
in rows, like corn, and cultivate, if
seed is desired. For pasture, soiling or
hay, sow four or five pecks to the
acre.
Food Value.-Soy bean hay COM
pares favorably with clover hay in
chemical composition. The seed is
very rich in protein and can therefore
be fed advantageously with corn. The
seed should be ground before feeding.
The seed is readily eaten. Stock as
rule, do not relish the stems and leaves
at first, but soon take kindly to this
forage. Soy beans and sorghum sup
plement each other as soiling crops.
Corn and soy beans, together, are said
to make good silage.
Harvesting.-Begin cutting at the
time of early bloom, for soiling. Cut
for hay when in full bloom, and as
soon as the pods have formed, for
silage.
Cost of Seed.-Seedsmen offer soy
bean seed at $3.50 to SIS per bushel.
This makes the cost far too great to
justify growing soy beans as a general
crop. Farmers are advised to try soy
beans in a small way as a special crop,
and then grow their own seed if the
crop gives promise of being valuable

Test Your Seed Corn.

The Illinois Experiment Station
sends out the following advice:
Farmers should test their seed corn.
Owing to the unusually wet fall of
1898 there is great deal of poor seed
corn as is shown by numerous COM
plants from farmers, and by tests
made at the experiment station. Every
farmer should test his seed corn be-
fore planting. This can be done at
slight expense by using a box of soil.
A still. better method is to use two
dinner plates. Place an inch of soil in
the bottom of the first plate. moisten
and cover with two thicknesses of any
cloth, preferably old cloth that has
been washed several times Upon this
place the seed to be tested and cover
with another moist cloth. Then cover
by turning the second plate bottom
upwards over the first to prevent the
soil from drying out, and set in a
warm place.

Deep Flowing Profitable.-Land that
is plowed endures the drouths better
than shallow plowed land, as there is
greater absorption of moisture. In
other words, the deeper the soil is
plowed the greater its capacity for
holding water. To prevent loss of this
moisture the top soil should be culti-
waited SO as to simply loosen it, which
prevents evaporation and at the same
time keeps the weeds down. The water
in the soil escapes at the surface, and
this should be prevented by mulch
OF loose dirt over the surface, which is
effected by cultivation.-Ex.
