BABE ADAMS TO SAIL
 UNDER THE BLACK FLAG.
He and George Gibson Will Furnish
 Classy Battery For Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Dec. 2S-Pftcher Charles B. Adams. known to baseball fandom as ''Babe," has signed with the Pir- ates for next season. The contract with his signature attached reached President Dreyfuss yesterday. but the mere fact of its being received was all that would be given out by the club officials. The fact that Adams is in line was a source of great sat- isfaction apparently to President Drey- fuss. for he immediately wired the news to, Manager Fred Clark on his Kansaa ranch.
 The figures at which Adams signed were not made public, but it is said on good authority that the great twirl- CT who captured the honors from the Tiger bunch will receive s3.5 500 for his work next year with a big bonus in case he shows anywhere near his form exhibited in the worlds series.
 Adams was the lowest salaried man on the Pirate team last year outside of one, or two substitute fielders who never got a chance to show their real form, He is spending the winter at his home in Mt Moriah MoN His signing assures the Pirates of one of the greatest batteries in the country for the coming season. for Catcher c.

Eeedino Whole Grain,

Bulletin 242 of the Michigan expert
ment station offers some exact data
upon the subject of feeding whole
grain to cows, heifers and calves.
When whole corn was fed to cows %
per cent was unmasticated, when fed
to heifers 10 per cent and when fed to
calves 8 per cent. Chemical analysis
showed no change in composition of
the unmasticated parts, so it is safe
assumption that the animal derives no
benefit from grain that passes through
the digestive tract unaltered.
