ArtIchok.s For Hoo FeedIno.

Artichokes are recommended for hog
feeding by L. A. Elford OF Holmes
willie. Ont. He plants them the same
as potatoes and roots. and the pigs
harvest the crop, enough seed being
left below the reach of the hogs for
the next years crops. He claims that
600 to 1000 bushels should be grown
per acre. The only cultivation given is
to go over the land in the spring with
. spring tooth cultivator, working the

next June. 1t is said that there ,whl
be at least 500 entries for this shoot

largest affair of Its kind ever held In
this country. This is the greatest OF
oil annual trap shooting events held
In America and was first held at Dex,
ter Park. N. Y, April 8 to Z. 1903.
From that date 1t yearly. grew In the
east as an event Of importance and
gradually spread westward, until 1t

there were ,45G, entrants. After an ex-
istence Of only three years, the Colum-
bus Gun club was honored with the
award Of the shoot by the interstate

BOSTON. April 16.-August. better
known as Garry Hermann, president OF
the National Baseball Commission, is
one OF the most likeable OF men. and
despite his manifold. large and intricate
business enterprises is one Of the most
approaohable subjects for an interview
that ever held a position in the public
eye
He can be seen day or night. at any
old time or place. and IS always will
ing 10 shed all the information he can.
Naturally, because he Is In a position
where his verdict costs the losers money
or self-esteem he frequently comes in
for roasts, but these are political. base
bal.ically speaking. and it is seldom or
never that even those who denounce him
most severely will not turn around and
in the next breath pronounce him a
prince Of good fellows
Attitude Toward Garry.
Such is the attitude of Joe CantillOn
and the Washington baseball club Offi-
cialiy toward the versatile Garry. They
throw the hooks into him with great
vigor when his course In the commission
does not gee with their own views. but
there is no animOsity toward him per
sonally. Last Thursday when the Wash
ington club was in Cincinnati Garry de-
livered himself Of a few remarks con-
corning the Washington and other clubs
and their ways OF doing business.
Most OF the troubles Of the managers
and owners with the commission" said
he. ARE due to the fact that the club
officials do not carefully read and study
the laws OF baseball and the decisions.
Our code is simple, and our objects per-
fectIy clear: We avoid useless VERDI
age, put the decisions IN plain lang age,
and If they are not perfectly understood
we will take time to offer an explana-
ton. In spite Of this. there are many
in the baseball business who have their
money invested and give most Of their
time 10 the subject, who do not take
the trouble to find out what rules they
are working under.
