Mr.. Horstman fell off somewhat from
his splendid game of the morning, when he
defeated DR.. Harlan. while Mr.. Lafferty
was at the top Of his game as result Of
his bruising match with Mr.. Brooke in the
morning. Going out over the first nine
holes it looked though MI. Horstman
was in for a severe drubbing, as Mr.. LAT
ferty was up at the turn. The tenth hole
was halved. but Mr. Lafferty added an
other stroke to his score by capturing the
eleventh
From this point on both players were at
their best. the l.. II and IA holes being
halved. Then Mr.. Horstman began work
in earnest, the 10 16 and II holes being
placed on his side of the card and both
men drove off for the home hole with Mr..
Lafferty still In the lead with l up.
Mr.. Horstmans drive was a good one
and 1t looked good for a two stroke, but
he trimmed the hole and had to take three.
Mr.. Lafferty's drive gave him q bad lie,
but he approached well, covered the hole
IN three. halving. and won the match by
1 up. Before the match started big ma
5ortty of the spectators had selected Mr..
HOrstman to win. but hts trying match Of
the morning evidently dulied his stroke and
not until the turn for home was made did
he give evidence OF his usual earnesInes3.
Messrs. Lafferty and Horstman are IN

II. T. Holland, one of the oldest set
tiers of Rockford, H., was interviewed
not long ago by the Chicago American
on the question of good roads and
their maintenance Mr.. Holland began
by saying that the narrow tire was the
greatest enemy of good roads.

Rock river valley nearly half n century

row tires with which yOnder wagon Is
fitted out, and | am convinced that
whatever action may be taken in an
endeavOr to improve the roads Of the
country will amount to little unless
there Is first legislation looking toward
the abolishment of narrow tires on We
hicles. The farmers generally recog-
nize this fact, but as long as there Is
no concerted action among the manu-
facturers as well as among the users
of vehicles little will be accomplished.

Poison Stops Ball Game.

The base ball game at Montgomery
between the old Timers and Mont
gomery has been Cancelled because six
of the players of the latter team are
laid up from the effects of poison, con
tracted on their field.
They have been doing considerable
practicing to get in shape to meet the
strong aggregation from Danville and
nearly all the players who got in the
part of the field where the poison was
are suffering from its effects. The
game was to be played Wednesday.
While the "Old Timers are sorry for
misfortune to the Montgomery base
ballists they are congratulating them
selves that they did not come in con-
tact with the poison.
An "Old Timer" remarked yester-
day to one of our reporters that he had
heard and knew of many odd reasons
for canceling games, but the Montgom-
cry cause was one never heard of be-
fore in his experience. He also said !:
In my time | have played on some
mighty rough diamonds. Mt. Carmel
used to have its field ON the edge of a
bluff and there were plenty Of bould-
ers to trip the visiting players. 1t was
a common saying that it was necessary
to have billy goats to chase the balls
among the rocks. There were other
grounds full of hills and hollows,
bumps and ridges, that made playing
something fierce and gave the visiting
teams good reason to bear these dia-
monds in mind. But the poison
ground is proposition that is rather

able. There are, however, many square
and rectangular SilOS in successful Op-
Grafton. Especially is this the case
with those having rounded corners.
Where great strength and large capac-
fly are demanded the frame circular
silo will best meet the requirements.
This form of silO can be made quite
durable by plastering the inside with
cement The circular stave silO, owing
to its simplicity and economical con-
struction, seems TO fully meet the re
uuirementS of the farmer. With this
form of silO properly erected the waste
Of siage is reduced to the minimum.
Perhaps more serious losses have re-
suited through lack of proportion be-
tween the size of the silO and the
amount of silage fed daily than from
any other cause The mistake is very
generally made in having the exposed
surface too large. An excellent rule is
to so construct the silo that the hori-
ZOntal feeding area for each COW Will
not exceed five or the extreme limit OF
six square feet.
Hoops for the siIO can be made Of
any suitable material, such as half
inch, seven siXtecnths inch or five
eighths inch round iron, One-eighth
inch flat iron two inches wide or wire.
For silO twelve feet or less in dame
ter seven siXtCenthS inch round iron
will be sufficient. The round hoops
are more generally used and give good
satisfaction These can be put on in
sections and held in position by means
of lugs or may be fastened in stud
ding, as shown in the second cut. The
woven wire fence hoop is often used
since it is regarded as being very eco
nomical.
Doors may be simply sawed out, as
shown in the first cut, or made con-
tinuous from the bottom to the top of
the silO. The latter form will slightly
increase the cost of the silO, but it Is
thought to possess sufficient advan-
tagcs over the former to more than JUS
tify the additional expense. The saw
ed out doors may be ranged one above
