the same amount of digestible protein
with little more carbohydrates will
fatten stock. Then in preparing food
for young growing animal, the nearer
we can initiate the composition of whole
milk, the better will be the results.
In the full flush of pasture, it is
found that grass will supply all the
wants of our animals. Then if we could
make June conditions all the year round,
we would have the best possible condi
tons for feeding stock. But naturally
we don't have them, so we attempt to
initiate them as closely as we can.
This is accomplished in July and Au-

Elementary food, such as mixture of
peas and oats cut and fed green. Later
on green corn may be used in a similar
manner.
In winter time we initiate summer
conditions as much as possible, by pro-
viding some succulent food such as corn
ensilage or roots, or better some of each.
The succulent food helps the animal to
digest the dry and bulky foods to ad-
vantage, as we'll as to keep the body in
healthy condition.
We have illustrations of good protein
foods in linseed meal, milk, peas, wheat,
bran and clover. We have illustrations
of carbohydrate foods in barley, wheat,
rye, corn, timothy hay, corn fodder and
turnips. In oats we have the illustration
of balanced food and is generally rec
ognized as being about the best single
grain, farmer can feed. Oats and
bran are good for building up the bone
of growing animals. There are some
other things to be taken into considera-
ton in feeding animals, such as shelter,
exercise, individuality, succulence, vari-

Those foods containing the most pro

potash being the other two. These three

coarse foods to stock and returning the
resultant manure to fields where most

OLD TROUBLE RETURNS
Commuters Have Seemingly
Quit and Are Now About
All In as Flag Winners
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The Oakland team is suffering from
a return attack of that ancient COM
plant that made tramps out of them
in the early part of the season, name
ly, yellow streak. With the pennant
still in view the Commuters laid down
yesterday at Recreation Park to the
Seals. They quit before they were
half beaten. Score-San Francisco, I;
Oakland, 3.
There was no reason why they did
not give the Seals a run, even if it was
their fortune to get a beating. This
they refused to do, barring one inning,
when they chased two runs in and
even then quit with two still on the
sacks and one out. To be sure they
did suffer from a little hard luck, but
this calamity might have been over
come by some rafting baseball which
the team is capable of playing.
1t was no fault of Moskiman's that
the Commuters lost, for he pitched
good enough ball to win nine out OF
ter games. Brick" Devereaux started
the run getting with a glaring error
and after that time the team was not
itself. Byrnes executed a couple OF
wide tosses, but the men in the field
refused to go after the thrown balls
and they both let in runs.
San Francisco started right away in
the second inning after two had been
chased. Anderson bit off Texas
Lacquer between Francks and Dun
leavy. Gochnauer was passed and
Wilson's drive filled the sacks. Barber
Clouted an easy bounder to DeVereauX,
who booted the ball around and then
hung his head Van Buren's swing to
center brought in one more tally.
Oakland came back with one in the
next round on Byrnes' single, sacri-
fee by Stark and Francks long fly.
The Seals celebrated the third period
with another pair this time on errors
and bad plays by the Oakland infield.
Stark sent in two for Oakland during
the fifth with a timely three-bagger
out to the f1agpole. After that Oak
land never raised her head and the
Seals managed to entice three more
through.
Ganley was out of the game and
Stark took his place in the right gar
den. ,Byrnes hurt his hand in the
eighth and Stark came in behind the
bat. There will be two games to-
day-the first at Oakland at 10 o'clock
and the second at the Eighth-street lot
at 2:30 o'clock. If Oakland expects to
figure as a champion team it will have
TO take the next six games from the

compliments with Frank Chance.
Chance hooked a terrific left to
Browns face, cutting his cheek badly
and sending him staggering against a
bystander. Brown attempted to fight
back, but another left on the jaw sent
him to his knees. He grasped Chance
about the legs and at this moment two
policemen ended hostilities.
The two policemen took Brown by
the arms and started with him for the
gate. The mob was frantic and cush-
ion seats were thrown at the umpire,
more than one striking him in the

the officers rushed Brown into the

that followed to-day's game was the
widest that ever took place on the
local grounds. The chief feature of
the game was the questionable deci-

in the face by Flood in the second
inning, knocked down by Frank
Chance at the end of the eighth. when
the game was called on account of
darkness, and almost mobbed by a
crowd of several hundred. The trouble
began in the second inning, when
Flood slapped Brown in the face with
his glove and was sent to the bench.

Young Corbett, the boxer. is not wor-
rying over the weight question. SO
confident is he that he will reach the
mark by Sunday that he spent yester-
day afternoon with a party of friends
and his trainers at Sutro Baths swim
ming. No gymnasium work was done
in the afternoon, though in the morn
ing he did the hardest days road work
since he started training With Billy
Otis he left his training quarters at 10
o'clock in the morning and they did
not return until 1 o'clock. More than
fifteen miles were covered.
Trainer Tuthill says Corbett weighed
1876 pounds before he --er- on the road.
He is certain his charge was reduced
two pounds when he returned, as the
perspiration was rolling off him.
From the appearance of the Denver
ite he should reach the weight without
using any unusual exertiOns the last
day of training. His trainer says he
has mapped out a course of work for
the Denver lad that will bring him to
weight on Sunday evening. The fol-
lowing two days will be devoted to
light exercise to keep his muscles in
trim. Tuthill says there will be no
chasing in from the Cliff House behind
an automobile on the night of the fight.
This afternoon Corbett will resume
boxing. He will have Jack Johnson,
Jim Hayward and Billy Otis as spar
ring partners. Each day from now un-
til Sunday considerable time will be
spent on the road and in the gymna-
SUM.

Agrees to Every Clause Except the

Matchmaker Jim Coffroth of the

hope of matching Young Corbett to
box Jimmy Britt next month, pro-
vided the former beats Battling Nell
son. COffroth had fatherly talk with
the Denverite yesterday and they
came to terms on all questions but
that delicate weight proposition.
Last night COffroth started after
Britt, but has not yet succeeded in
getting the latter to make 130 pounds
at 6 o'clock. COrbett says he will not
meet Britt under any other conditions,
while Britt AYERS that there is nothing
doing with him except at 1872 pounds
or over. If COffrOth can persuade
Britt to do 1870 pounds the match is
made. He will keep after James for
a day or two at least and hopes to
be successful
