thought more of my cows than l did
of my horses, so the COWS had all
they needed and the horses had to go
short.
One winter we had a brood mare
they was fed silage all winter, proba-
bly, 20 pounds day. She had some
hay and straw to go with it, and no
grain except what was in the silage,
and she came out fat and with
glossy coat in the spring, and had a
fine, healthy colt. Horses like silage
as we'll as cattle do after they are ac-
customed to it.
A man in Michigan few years ago
wintered 200 horses on silage and
straw exclusively, with no grain.
They came through in fine shape, and
the brood mares all had fine, strong
colts.
The Ohio experiment station tried
feeding horses on silage through the
winter, and reported that they came
through until spring in the best of
condition.
w. c. Bradley of Wisconsin says
that one year during spring work he
was out of hay, and the only coarse
fodder his horses had during all that
period of hard work was silage. He
says that the horses never stood work
better.-C. E. McKerrow, in Spirit of
the West.

Best Breed for Oxen.

There are breeds of cattle which are
more suitable as oxen than others,
the principal of which may be men
toned, the Devons. They are fairly
large, red in color, hardy and can
thrive on pastures that will not keep
some breeds. The cows do not rank
high for dairy purposes, but as Devon
cattle are active and quick, they have
held the first place as animals for the

The plans Of the Government Printing
Office Baseball League for next season
are uncertain. It is stated that the
league holds an option on the grounds
at the corner of North Capitol and L
streets, known as the Malone Lot, so no
difficulties in the way Of providing a
suitable diamond are expected.
The next point to be considered is the
amount Of playing material on hand.

al ateur leagues last season would seem
TO indicate that there is no dearth Of

fine nucleus for a half dozen evenly
matched teams
There is gossip around the Office to the
effect that Neatch and FOrden have on
hand a project for placing a team In the
Capital City League A good nine. IN
der the capable management Of Neatch,
would probably make good in any anna
teur organization, and the opinion was
expressed that a try for Departmental
League honors would evoke high interest.
Such a proposition could be fairly con-
sidered without interfering in any de-
gree with the schedule OF the regular
organize ton maintained by the various
divisions Of the official publishing house.

the scarcity Of efficient pitchers. With

Claude Rossman, who has been trans
ferred from Cleveland TO Detroit, was
one Of the most reliable pinch hitters in
the American League last year.
Joe Yeager for Matty McIntire is a
trade that Clarke Griffith is said to be

GOOD HITTERS NEEDED.
Newark Fans Doubt that Gilbert
VIII Strengthen Team.

Newark n j.. Jan 20.-PTOviding the
Billy Gilbert bubble didn't burst. it would
be a question. many fans believe, whether
the former Giant would strengthen the
Newark team, says the News II was
demonstrated last season that the team
was in need Of hitters to win games. and
that the fielding department was up to
par. If Gilbert was to come to Newark,
he would probably supplant Kid Mailing
on second base. While Mailing is prob
ably not as fast as Gilbert in fielding,
there is no doubt that ne is stronger at
the batting end. Last seasons records
show that Mailing hit at clip of 2G4. an
increase Of 20 points over 1906. Gilbert
was never considered a good hitter, his
record for last season being 81. With
these facts it is hardly possible that he
would bat any better in the Eastern
League.
History has proven that former major
league stars who have passed to the
Eastern League found it just as hard. if
not more difficult, 10 hit than in the big
organizations With the possible excep-
ton of Dan Brouthers, no major league
star is known to have won any medals
for smuggling after he had departed from
fast company.
Examples in late years can be fur
nished in the case of Al Setback, who
went to Providence from the Boston
Americans last season: George Lachance,
Jack Dunn. and others. Dunn, perhaps.
is the single exception of a player who
has held his own. But it is an unusual
happening for former major league star
TO fatten his batting average when he
Cnce drops back into the minors. Under
these conditions, it is hard 10 discern
where Gilbert would materially strength
Ell the locals, inasmuch as the principal
weakness Of the team last season was
in the batting department
