FARMERS INSTITUTE
HELD AT SANFORD.

SANFORD, July IL ne COlOraCO
Agricultural College held farm
ers' institute here to-day. Over
125 people were in attendance.
Sven Peterson gave his creed
for good farming.
Prof. f. r. Bennett gave lee
ture on the profit as well as the
pleasure of making the home sur
roundings more beautiful. He
said the first thing necessary was
good lawn, enrich the soil and
level it. Then SOW a good lawn
grass mixture. Keep it well ir-
rigated and NOW closely.
Prof. Bennett advised planting
cottonwood, mulberry and blue ash
trees in the door yards. He adj
vised buying tree seeds and raising
the trees instead of shipping them
in as this will give much better
results.
Do not water the trees after
July 18th. This will stop growth
and all the wood to harden. Late
in the fall irrigate the trees thor
oughly. Most trees die in the
winter if they become too dry.
Sven Peterson reported that
with only 40 families, Sanford
shipped out, yearly, poultry pro-
ducts worth $4,000 and that these
sales of poultry amounted to more
than the sales of grain. On ac-
count of their large size and fine
flavor, the eggs from Sanford av-
eraged through the year at Sl.OO
per case above the Denver market.
Eggs are shipped from Sanford
every week during the year The
altitude is 1900 feet.
Prof. H. NJ. Bainer reported
that Colorado farmers bought each
year five million dollars worth of
farm machinery and that if this
machinery was properly oiled and
sheltered, only half that amount
would be needed. A 5000 shed
will save $1,000 in five years in
buying machinery.
Prof. Bainer recommended
disc pillow for dry soils and a mould
board pillow for land in good con-
dition. 1t pulverizes the soil bet
ter and is better for turning under
manure trash.
Prof. Bainer said that every
Colorado farmer should have
disc harrow. A 16-inch disc pulls
harder than a larger size but does
better work A smooth roller is
injurious to the soil but corri-
gated roller is profitable on every
farm.
More single disc drills are in
use in Colorado than all other
kinds put together. A single disc
opens the seed furrow deeper and
does not clog in trash.
A five foot mower and lO.foot
sulky rake are the best sizes. -
A gasoline engine is the most
convenient power on. ordinary
farms. s-
Bishop Crowther stated that
both feeding of sheep and hogs
would be largely increased this
fall in Sanford.
Prof. Bennett said that Colorado
raised five to eight million bushels
of potatoes yearly, while Germany
grows each year, once billion five
hundred million bushels. We. can
grow considerably more. without
Cutting the market.

BAROVS STING BALL NO HARDER THAN .216
geHerad Presents First Official Average-Meek Leads Smith Hitting Most Remarkable Montgomery Bot tom, and Moesworth Way Down-Centerfelder and Alcock Run Getters-Smith Hits for Extra
 Bases.

Below is given the first official battle averages of the Birmingham Barons The figures are brought up to the present date, and include the game yesterday.
 It will be seen that the team is hitting .216 which, while not being high aver age, Is not too bad. It must be remem- bered that the season has just begun. Many of the Barons, including Moles- worth and Montgomery. will hit consid- erably better than their records today would indicate. Meek and Garvin will hit somewhat lower, especially the for mer, who today is swatting the ball near the .500 mark. Gardner's batting will improve, and it Is thought that Smith will hit along the 300 mark all during the season. In justice to Meek 1t should be stated that during the games he played his hitting was somewhat better than .500. He has been sent to the stick on two oc- casions to relieve pitchers, and as in neither of these trials did he land safe, his average is somewhat lowered.
 Molesworth and Alcock have proved the

Montgomery, April 25.-(Specia1)-I a game that Captain Molesworth declares he is going to contest because of the um- pires ruling in the ninth inning, Mont gomery defeated the Barons here today by score of 8 to ?.
 Up to the last half of the ninth the score stood 2 to 9, but the Pretzels warmed up to the emergency when d run was required of them They succeeded in scoring the tally that is to be contested.
 The difficulty at this time arose over Umpire Walkers decision. Perry, first man up for the locals in the ninth in ming, ripped out single to center, se- curing first base. Ratchford hit to sec ond base and Perry ran over Walters, who Perry and Umpire Walker allege was in the way. Walters and Molesworth contend that Perry ran out of the line resulting in the tumble of both parties on the diamond and Ratchford securing base. Ball, immediately succeeding, knocked a double to right, scoring both Perry and Ratchford and ending the game with net runs of for Montgomery.
 Both Turner and Walsh pitched great
 
 slightly wild. Both teams made an abund- anee of errors, In which respect both showed willingness to give each other the game Birminghams first run was made in the first inning. Molesworth singled to left, Smith sacrificed and Gardner went out from second to first. Montgomery singled to right, scoring Molesworth. Montgomery got out on attempted steal of second. In the second inning both sides went out in one-two- three order. In the third inning, with two men down, Moles worth walked and stole second Smith flew to McCann, who muffed. Molesworth scored. Gardner retired the side on a 1y-out to McCann. Up to the last half of the sixth, after this neither side scored.
 In this inning, however, Houtz walked, Hausen hit to Alcock, who fumbled, ad- Vancing Houtz to second Anderson bunt- ed to pitcher, who lost time hunting for Montgomery on third, and finally threw to Lister, but too late to retire the bats man. Houtz finding the course uninter- rupted. circulated from second to home, scoring Montgomery's first run. With Hausen on second McCann hit to Alcock, who again errored, resulting in scoring of Hsusen and safety of McCann. Apperlous and P Try retired the side. After his no scorcs were made until the end of the ninth wien the disturbance above took place,

Little Rock, April 25.-(Special.) )-Presi- dent Kavanaugh today issued bulletin in regard to the matter of asking TOT waivers on players, which, it is thought will clear up the present uncertainty cur rent in Southern league circles
 It was felt in league headquarters that neither Frank of New Orleans, nor Smith of Atlanta, were sincere in asking for waivers on their players, and the pulle- tin is aimed directly at these two man agers, President Kavanaugh being cer- tain that whatever their game may be the ruling will force them to come to the sur face. The bulletin explains the method of operation concerning waivers and then continues with the pertinent part:

THE DOPE SHEET.

Eyler continues to win.
 Players as umpires won't do.
 Houtz was brilliant yesterday.
 Hardy still hammered the ball.
 McElveen got another home run.
 Ragan will work today and should win. Atlanta nosed the game from Nash vile.
 Getting further away from the .5oo mark.
 Molesworth's protest will amount to little.
 Alcock continues to lose his head at critical moments
 Montgomery is hitting at last. He should improve steadily.
 It will be a good thing when Oyler gets in the game again.
 Please, MT President, send a league in- dici-tor down to Montgomery
 It s a pity that turner was wild, and that the Pretzels hit him hard.
 The Barons outplayed the Pretzels even tough the game did go glimmerng.
 Smith and Castro were elected from the park in Atlanta. Both are 'chronics." Memphis, it seems, cannot play on ac- count of rain. J. P. interfered in New Orleans.
 Study the batting averages and see what you think. Shouldn't Meek get in the game again?
 Shreveport lost again. The Pirates won the first game of the season, and since then have lost everything.
 Kavanaugh has put an end to the ".1aiver schemes" He took the only course open. The rule is weak, it Is now seen.
 Busch. late Montgomery shortstop, has been sold to Meridian, and will take charge this afternoon of the Meridian infield. Meridian has released Rush.
 Guy Woodruff. Vaughn's nephew, so states special from Montgomery, has been offered for sale to Birmingham by Manager Kelly of Des Moines. Wood ruff is an outfielder, and a valuable man.
