Print Paper.

Cedar Falls Record: The Manson
Democrat, in discussing the tariff ON
print paper, really puts the Register
and Leader in the shade in its state
ment relative to the duty on hose. The
Manson paper says:
Every time newspaper publisher
or printer uses ton of print paper he
pays just $50 tribute to the paper
trust. How will such dose set on
stand-pat stomachs for the next four
or five years?"
Print paper must be very high out
in the Democrats part of the state.
The Daily Record is being printed on
paper purchased at $2.40 ton. If the
duty on print paper is as high as the
Democrat contends and If the Demo-
cratic contention is correct that the
duty is added to the price of the goods
whether imported or not, then it is
quite evident that the wholesale paper

Marion Register: 1t is as clear as

the Presidents position on the tariff
They already are. They wanted him

minus an uplift, policy weighted
down with something similar to the
Wilson-Gorman wreckage of 1S94-5-6.

Dubuque Times: Harmon has a
bridge to cross before entering the
national convention. He must be re-
elected governor of Ohio next year.
His failure to secure a second term
as governor would eliminate him from
the presidential race. His success
would make him formidable candi-

But Ohio is normally Republican

If the liquor question can be eliminat-
ed, the Republicans will carry 1t next
year and the Democracy will have to

READABLE LORE ABOUT
ANCIENT BASE BALLS.
The Famous Veteran, A. J Reach,
Tells Who Made the First Ball
Ever Used in the National Game,

The famous old-time player, A. j.
Reach, now president of the A. j.
Reach Company, the great baseball
and sporting goods manufacturing
concern, was recently queried by a
California customer as to the original
balls used in the infancy of baseball.
Here is Mr.. Reach's answer, which
possesses q certain historical interest
and value:
Philadelphia, Pa.-My dear Mr..
Bekeart: Replying to your favor Of
the 10th ult. regarding baseballs
etc, you say Mr.. Lowry would like ia
have, will give you some thoughts
from memory.
AS to the first baseballs, my recol-
lection of them dates from about
1856 or Sc. The most popular base
ball in those days was the Ross ball;
Harvey Ross, the maker, was a men,
Der of the Atlantic Baseball Club, OF
Brooklyn, and a sail-maker by trade;
his home was on Park avenue, where
he made the balls. John Van Horn
was a member of the Union Club, of
Morrisania, New York; he had a
little boot and shoe store on Second
avenue, New York City. These two
makers turned out the best baseballs
for some years, and they were used
in nearly all of the match games that
were played up to the early '70s.
E. I. Horsman, of Brooklyn, New
York, also made balls in the early
'60s for the market, not having the
success, however, of the Ross and
Van Horn balls among the experts Of
that day.
The popular clubs of those days,
as l remember, were the Gotham,
Eagles, Empire, Knickerbocker, Mu-
tual and Union, of New York City,
most of them playing at the Elysian
Fields, Hoboken; the Atlantic, Ex-
celsior, Eckfords, Putnam and Conti-
mental were all of Brooklyn. These
mentioned are the oldest contesting
clubs that l remember, having no
date at hand at present.
AS look back to those early days
of our National game and remember
the great interest displayed then by
the crowds on match days in all the
movements of the players. l do not
wonder at its growth, and that it
now takes field in those same cities
with a capacity to take care of the
crowds of from twenty-five to forty
thousand people, and they will even
grow from these figures. Then the
playing field was a pretty sight, being
fully two-thirds surrounded by car
riages and wagons filled with people,
and inside of the line of carriages
was the crowd sitting and standing
until they almost encircled the play
ing field. ! am referring back to the
days when no entrance fee was
charged, so while there was no money
there was no lack of interest and lots
of excitement when the strongest
clubs got together. With best wishes,
l am, yours truly. A. j. REACH.

Poisonous Plant Investigation.

For several years the Forest Serv-
Ice, in cooperation with the Bureau
of Plant Industry, has been making
poisonous plant Investigations on the
National Forest which have been of
distinct value to stockmen. The an
nual loss from poisonous plants in
many localities is quite heavy, and
some ranges are becoming practically
useless on account of these plants. or
II used, the losses by death are so
heavy as to materially cut into the
profits of stock raising.
No general plan of Kidding the
range of these plants has yet been
devised, but 1t has been possible by
close study to determine the particu-
lar species of plant responsible for
the trouble. 1t is believed that some
of these poisonous plants can be
choked out by planting certain ag-
gressive grasses which in time will
take full possession. Other plants
like the wild parsnip, which is so IA
tai to cattle, grow to such height as
to be easily seen and are not so nu-
merous but that they can be COM
-pletely eradicated by pulling them up
by the roots.

Silo Construction.

A Canadian feeder of large eXper-
ience has this to say on silo construc-
tion in one of our Canadian ex-
changes:
Do not on any consideration build
square or oblong silo. The walls
of such silo are not strong enough
to stand the pressure caused by the
great weight of the silage, and the
amount of silage lost in the corners
will amount, in a few years, to con-
siderable value. The best shape is
circular. A silo should be more than
twice as high as it is wide. Do not
build silo too large in diameter, as
the amount of silage spoiled from day
to day will more than pay the inter-
est on the cost of an extra smaller
one. The main qualities of a silo are
that the walls shall be strong enough
to withstand the pressure and 1t shall
be air tight. To get this the first
step is to build a good, SOLID founda-
ton, commenced below the frost line.
Perhaps the simplest and easiest
style of silo to be built is the stave
silo. 1t should be made from two
inch narrow plank properly beveled
and held together by strong iron
bands. The slaves, after beveling so
that when fitted together they will
form a circle of the desired size, are
placed on end on solid foundation
and properly fitted. These are
strengthened and held in place by
strong iron hoops, which are so made
that they may be tightened or loos-
ened at will. Doors should be built
at intervals from the top to the bot
tom so that the silage may easily be
got out. 1t is not necessary to put a
roof on this silo, but it is much to be
preferred. This style of the silo
should be kept well painted, both in
side and out. If properly built and
taken care of staye silo is durable,
rigid and alright.

Potted plants are largely adver-
tised every fall and are very interest
Ing to amateurs. Any one who has a
few small flower pots, two and quar-
ter or two and a half inches, at his
disposal, may grow these plants for
himself.
The pots are buried in the soil be-
side the fruiting rows in the latter
part of June or the first of July. Each
pot is filled with soil, and a young
strawberry plant, still attached to the
mother plant, is set into the buried
pot. Plants so treated should form
large, strong crowns by the last OF
August. They may then be severed
from the mother plants and trans
planted. - Bulletin Massachusetts

Crows Killing Chicks.

The Rhode Island Experiment Sta
tion has received a number of reports
where crows have caused serious
losses to poultrymen. In one case
twenty-five per cent. of the chickens
hatched were destroyed by crows, all
sizes being taken from the time they
were just hatched until they were a
pound in weight. Various efforts
were made to keep the crows away,
most of which were Intellectual. The
first was a scarecrow. next corn
soaked in strychnine solution was
scattered on field of planted corn
at little distance from the chicken
yard; third, steel trap was set on a
pole near the chicken yard, but with
out success. Finally a white twine
was run on stakes around and across
the chicken yard. This kept the
crows from the yard, but the small
chicks would get out and fall prey to
the crows. This being Intellectual, a
crow was shot and hung on a pole
near the chicken yard, after which
there was no further trouble.

What We Don't Know.

What we know about the home OF
the Martians makes short story. but
considering that it Is 100000
miles away from us, 1t is wonderful
that we know so much. The year
there lasts about 6S7 days, nearly
twice as long as ours, but the days
are almost exactly the same. The
diameter of Mars is about seventy
one-hundreds that of the earth. 1t
has two small moons, the nearest Of
which goes around it In seven hours
and thirty-nine minutes. The density
of the planet is considerably less than
the earth. There are snow caps at
the poles, which increase and lessen
with the seasons; there are reddish
patches which look like land; there
is an atmosphere and there are num-
erous long, straight lines which, it
has been assured, are canals artificial
ly made for irrigation. This assump-
tion, which 1t can not be said has been
established, has been made to serve
as conclusive evidence that Mars is
inhabited. 1t is far too soon TO have
any definite opinion or the subject,
but 1t is safe to believe that the next
generation will know great deal
more about it than we do.-Cincin-
