S. F. Angus Of the Detroit club returned
home from New York yesterday and de-
clined to discuss the base ball situation at
any length, owing to the fact that he has

base ball on a business-like basis. AS far
as Detroit is concerned. what said two
weeks ago remains true. We are forced to
make a sacrifice Willis being taken from

the situation cleared. Ratification Of the
peace agreement Is the best thing that ever
happened in base ball."
President Fred Postal Of Washington Is
especially pleased. 1T is good thing" he
said. 'to see the business men down the
base ball politicians. It's all right to be in

Tho Day 81 small Farms.

An0 O0y O1 Sm0ll t8rmSs
Except in the Far West the tendency
is toward the small farms, and it ID
certainly a step in the right direction.
In the East the majority Of farms are
under 100 acres, and in many sections
more money is being made from thirty
acres than 100. Particularly is this the
case where the farms are located near
cities Or large towns. This same state
of affairs will gradually come about in
the West as the population increases.
II one has large numbers of cows and
horses SO that t1sFe Is an abundance Of
fertilizer and plenty of help to handle
crops which can be sold at a profit,
there Is doubtless profit in the large
farm, but where it comes to the choice
between using the fertilizer for fifty
acres that Is none too much for twenty
acres, common sense teaches us that It
would be best to put the fertilizer and
labor on the smaller area, even though
the rest of the farm stood idle. Around
some Of the great cities Of the country
are truckers farms, or, rather, gardens,
where the land value is high, on which
are raised crops of greater value to the
acre than + raised on ten acres Of
some Of the large farms in the country.
These plots are evidences Of what can
be done under the intensive system Of
farming, which is based on the princi-
pie of a small area well titled. If one
is located near good markets it will
certainly pay him to look into the SUBJ
ject Of concentrating his energies on a
small area.-Indianapolis News.

NJ one is in q position to grow pigs
with profit unless he can provide pas
ture or green forage of some kind for
his animals. They need this from
spring to autumn, and then they go
to grain for finishing. In this connec-
ton the following experiment is inter-
esting-the idea being to see whether
a portion Of the grass or fbrous food
fed in conjunction with corn meal was
not more healthful and profitable than
the meal without any other admixture.
Taking a litter Of six pigs, five weeks
old, it was divided into two lots as
nearly equal in weight and thrift as
possible.
One lot was kept in a pen and fed
upon corn meal soaked in water twelve
hours. The other lot was kept in a
pen alongside and fed upon green
clover, cut short, and mixed with corn
meal. At first only one quart Of this
cut clover was fed each pig, with all
the meal they would eat. This meal
being mixed with clover, the particles
were separated, and when eaten went
to the stomach in a spongy condition,
SO that the gastric juice could pene-
trate the mass, as water does a sponge.
This juice being able to come in con
tact with all the food very quickly.
