ton still remains To be solved, the

shall we feed these foods that We may
obtain the greatest growth from our
stock. the largest yields from our herds,
and the greatest benefit to the farm
from the plant food from this large
crop after ii has been fed to the stock?
ut is as essential in feeding that
each animal should have Just the

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Mail Carriers Are After the Police
men for a Game of Ball.

| There VIII be a union. reunion or dis
union of the blue and the gray on the
AFTERNOON of July 4, or some morning
| between and 8, IL the Carbondale po.
| licemen dare accept the challenge that
| is hereby hissed at them by the mail
carriers of the CarbOndale postofiice.
The carriers have team. be j;
known. and a few to spare. The car
,eis know the national game, be this
| also known, for at cutting across lots
| in hustling over their routes they en-
| counter enough OF games of "one. two
| and three-Old cat" to teach the fine
points of the national sport to the po-
! licemen.
AS suggested earlier, the game needs
to be played either July 4, AFTERNOON,
| or some summer morning between
| and i o'clock. After 4 o'clock the inn
pOrtant hours of sleep are ahead of the
Carbondale policemen, and the carriers
are too cOnsiderate to ask the men in
| blue to overwork. On the contrary, the
carriers are willing to make the sacri-
| flee of rising ten or fifteen minutes
earlier in order to accommodate the
"coppers" and then rub in Il defeat.
A guess at the makeup of both
teams is something like this:
Carriers-William Chase, catcher, to
play and scoop the high ones; p. +.
FoNe pitcher. who is onto the curves of
| the sphere as he is on the curves of the
country's railroads: p. r. Carroll the
short man in short field; David Walsh.
| another long fellow. first base, to pull
down the short mans Sky rockets;
George Davis second base, who has
l,. .i,,i,
Chase's throwing arm; Martin l.. Oil
Yer, third base. who will be good COM
pany for the short man; William Fox,
right field, captain of the field force;
John Nealon. centre field, where. he will
have no questions to answer, and
Frank Smith, substitute carrier, left
field, the best place for the fat men. as
no blue-coat will ever knock Il fly that
far.
Policeman-Chief McAntlrew, catcher;
another long fellow in the right place,
who is supposed to catch base balls as
readily as he catches thieves: PATROL
man Garden, pitcher, the Fallbrook
man, where all the good throwers come
from; Patrolman Huddy, the Belmont
short man; Patrolnan McAndrew. first
base, another long fellow; Patrolman
feli, second paSe, with 'HOllcenlan
Jack" to catch the chiefs lightning
throws: Park Policeman William Kill
leen, third base, where he can divide
his time chasing sparrows; Special PO-
liceman Clark Hetzel in right field as
aide -de-camp to First Baseman Mean
drew; Special Archie Gurney, in CEN
tire field, where there will be nothin'
dom; and Special Patrick Malta in left
field close to home.
Mail-wagon Drivers p. A. Walker
and Fred Sheridan will transport the
bats. shin pads, breast protectors, etc.
to the field of battle; and Constable
Edward Neary will be the chief coacher,
taking his stand near Chief McAndrew.
Constable Moran will have a roll of
long green to take all odds on the men
in blue and Constable Emmett will put
himself in communication by wireless
telegraphy with Steve Glby for point
ers on how they play the game in
Cherry Ridge.
This will be "the" game of the sea-
son,
