Base Ball Sport.

That Chicago is lover of Base ball
sport goes without saying. 1t matters
not which clubs play here, the various
parks are always crowded, so that
Chicago may well be termed the Base
ball city. During the week the vari-
Gus ball parks had their great audi
ences, but OF all the games played
Auburn Park at 10th st. and Went
worth ave., had on Thursday, June
2lst, what is considered by all a game
where there was more real fun than
at any other during the season. 1t
was that between Williams and Walk
er's club, the Well-known Canadians,
and an amateur club OF Chicago organ
lied by Mort Shoecraft. 1t was not
that this game ranked among the pro-
fessionals but altogether on the con-
trary-thes Williams and Walker COM
pany are now playing their latest Gre
alton, Abyssinia, at the Great North
ern Theatre and are putting in their
extra time in this kind OF athletic
sport and are playing all corners in
their class. Mort Shoecraft, who is
in the employ OF Billy Gumbs'' Buffet,
and who is an old time twirler of the
bat and ball, conceived the idea OF
forming a ball team and giving the
Williams and Walkers tryout. This
conception entered Shoecraft's brain
on Saturday, June 18th, and in less
| than five days he had his team ready
and the public notified as to the game
on the 2lst. The game was called at
$3.50 P. M. with the following line up:

plants can be grown which are en-
tirely free from disease, and most i'm
portant Of all, that the seedlings give
an opportunity to select better types
than exist at the present time.
The very best of these seedlings,
some of which will undoubtedly show
superiority in several ways over the
parents, can be retained for seeds, and
by keeping up the system of selection
there will develop in a very few years
strains from seed which will be proven
of great value.
George W. Oliver, the plant propa-
gator of the Department of Agriculture
has been working on this particular
line for number of years, with every
indication of success. In some in
stances he has obtained blooming
plants in from to months from
termination of the seed, while in re-
cent trials, as many as twelve mag
niicent blossoms have been cut from
a plant within fourteen months after
the plant has shown itself above
ground.
In order to further this class OF
work. the Department of Agriculture
has obtained plots OF land in California
and Oregon where it is believed the
Easter lily can be grown as prolitably
if not more so, than it is in either Ber-
muda or Japan.
A point greatly in favor OF raising
the Easter lily from seed, to constitute
the crop of marketable bulbs, Is that
from one to two years time is saved in
the operation over the scale method.
The results of the work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in obtaining
blooming plants in SO short time after
planting the seed would probably seem
like a fairy tale to the participants OF
the lily conference held in London in
1901. One of the papers read at that
time states that many species of Lii
lium must have from ten to twelve

He was young and smart-looking
Scots clergyman, and was to preach

Fearing that his hair might be disar-
ranged or that he might have smudge
on his face, he quietly and signif-
cantly said to the beadle, there being
no mirror in the vestry:
"John, could you get me a glass?'
John disappeared, and after few
minutes returned with something un-
der his coat, which. to the astonish'
ment of the divine, he produced in the
form of bottle with a gill of whisky
in it, saying:

and stimulate the tree by pouring
down soap suds or other water. Thi-
furnishes sub-irrigation and allows bul
little of the water to evaporate.
Trees should also be dug around
from time to time if rapid growth is
desired. A tree can grow up in SOD
and practically stand still or by the
use of manure and cultivation it can
be made to grow as fast as desired.
The sod method is frequently followed

on the convenience and appearance of
his place.

years to develop a Towering bulb from
the seed. A noted scientist who was
believed to be an authority on lily
growing, stated that "In three or four
years at most, Towering bulbs will
be produced from seed if the young
plants are properly treated" While
the experiments of the Department of
Agriculture have shown that some seed
lings are longer than others in coming
into bloom, yet when these do flower,
they reward all the cultivator's labor
by producing a great amount of flow
ers-instances being known of plants
with from ten to fourteen flowers at
one time.
Hybrid Philippine Lily.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of
the Department of Agriculture last
year took up the problem of shorten
ing the time of growing, as any short
ening in the time of growth represents
so much gain to the cultivator. With
this in view the Department imported
a species of lily from the Philippines
which was known to bear flowers in
from two to three months after plant.
ing of the bulb. This lily has been
crossed with the common Easter lily
and the 1t has been hybrid
bearing as many flowers as the old
Bermuda lily, with no difference in ap
pearance from this plant, except that
the hybrid will develop in four or five
months. representing a shortening in
time of from one to three months
While the experiments OF the Depart
ment are not yet completed, the re
suits attained so far warrant the be
lief that the new hybrid Easter Lily
can be produced cheaper than the old
variety which blooms not less thar
from six to eight months after plant
ing Of the bulb.

Green Manuring.

Very sandy soils are more apt to
show beneficial effect than heavy soils
from plowing under green crops as
compared with applications of fertil-
izers or manures, for the reason hat
in such soils fertilizer or manure
teaches quickly away, whereas the
humus afforded by the green crop is
more entirely retained, itself adding to
the body of the soil. Sandy soils, too,
are nearly all deficient in vegetable
mold, and green manure is the easiest
and cheapest method of supplying this
factor.

"Ch, strangle it," called out Jonothan
Happlegood in his sonorous voice,
which made everybody look. THAT

than the hills"
Then the three spinster Hill sisters
of uncertain ages got up and stalked

As the warmth of spring approaches
the system Graves some fresh acid, and
nothing is more grateful than rhubarb.
A most satisfactory practice is to cover
couple of thrifty stools of rhubarb
with an old half-barrel, inverted, and
pile around it green manure. This will
force it into quick growth.

proved methods of selection and cul-
tivation, would undoubtedly be eventu-
ally good policy for the growers to
pursue, yet, except in the case of the
more progressive growers, there is lit
tie likelihood of this being done, as it
would materially decrease the revenue
from lily farming for the time being.
This will readily be understood when
it Is stated that an acre of lilies will
bring from $1,000 to $4,000. Some
growers on the islands who thoroughly
appreciate the importance of careful
methods are using small bulbs in
preference to scales, and are selecting
and fertilizing carefully. but they are
heavily handicapped by the many
small growers who cultivate their
crops according to old methods; and
in these cases there is no selection
with a view to producing and perpetu-
ating good types. Little manure Is
used. The methods of propagation are
very faulty and they have not been
changed since the beginning of the in
dustry in the islands. For instance,
in the growing of the bulbs for Amer
Jean markets the smaller sizes are
planted in the fall and harvested in
July. or before the bulbs have thorough
" ripened. In the process of handling,
many of the immature scales drop
from the bulbs. These are not thrown
away, as they ought to be, but are
carefully saved and planted with view
to raising small bulbs. These bulbs
ultimately form a large part OF the
general crop.
AS a result of all these conditions
the bulbs marketed by Bermuda have
become impregnated with disease, so
that, at the present time it is almost
impossible to secure a bulb or plant
which does not show some trace Of di-
sease.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-04-13

For the best results fruit and other
trees should be cultivated early and
often during the spring and early sum
mer, as that is the time when most
growth is made. When the fruit is
small there is plenty of sap for vigoT-
Gus wood growth, but after the fruit
maturity the wood growth
decreases.

THE PHILIPPINE LILY.

Planting overgrown nursery stock
because it can be secured cheaper than
young stock is a serious mistake In
the first place the handling is much
greater, and, again, such trees will
never make the sturdy and vigorous
growth of the younger ones. To use
them at any price is poor economy.
