Bates in 1874 games scored "a runs. made
147 hits for an average of gJ5 and had

bert have figures that place the latter
ahead, although he did not take part in
as many games. Grant in 152 games

274 and stole 3 bases, while Lobert in
80 games. scored Al runs. knocked out 81

Special Dispstct ia The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, November 7.-One of
the principal issues of the annual major
league meetings I'm New York next month
will he syndicate base ball. Strange to
say, this concerns only the National
League and national commission. a year
ago the American League summarily dis
posed of tie nuisance by ruling that no
one could own stock in two different
clubs In Ban Johnson's circuit The Ma
tionaI League at the time decided to trail,
along after its rival. But its resolution.
drawn up by John 7. Brush, ara sup
posed to be aimed at syndicate tactics,
was simply a joker. It's wording was So
framed that it Is possible for any one to
own stock in every club in the National
League, but the controlling interest OF
only one club.
Ban Johnson intends to go further than
ever this season. He will make IL COM
puisory for each Of the presidents of his
clubs to furnish the national commission
and press with the list OF stockhoicers
and the extent to which each investor is
have the National League adopt the same
ruling, so that the matter OF syndicating
base ball property may be prevented BY
the national commission.

Is quite different to what II should be.

What Hart Has to Say.

James A. Hart former president Of
the Chicago base ball club. and a sbrewd
student OF the sport, has the following
to say on the subject in Chicago paper:
TT probably will be set out in the pros
pectus of the proposed third major league
that TO make 10 per cent on saO0.0O re-
uuires a profit OF only SIG, 600 per annur,
and attention will be called to the fact
that Murphy, Conaiskey. Shibe. Dreyfuss
and Brush have made money. But VIII IL
mention the fact that these men have
make money? Or will this new league
contain nothing but pennant winning
tea,.,s? Will the prospectus mention the
sad financial ending of Henry v. Lucas,
Chris Won der Abe. John B. Day, Al john
son and other base ball angels. who lost
fortunes I'm the promotion Of the great
and glorious game?
Then, again, how much or the invest
ment will be charged OFF for yearly de-
probation? You must understand the
contracts render the players absolutely
free at the end of five years. hence ~
per cent annual depreciation will not be
too great.
Nov, as to the operating expense and
patronage. A rev league must OF ne
cessify have larger expenses than the
present clubs. as players will demand in
creased salaries. and why should new
club expect increased patronage as COM
pared with the present? Base ball Is
now at it's height. and has been made Sc
by good government. The proposed plans
do not promise good government. hence
1t follows that there will be less attrec-
tive games. and consequently decrease
revenue at the gates. Players. are hu-

ATTENTION TO
SPRING PIGS
Well Known Fact Among Stock
men That First Hundred Pounds
Is Cheapest Meat Put on AMI
maIs-Need Much Care.

Pigs which come in March or April
and have the right breeding can be
made 10 weight 200 to $50 pounds for
the October market. but they will need
the best of care and feed.
Many farmers in the busy season
neglect their young stock. They are
so busy planting and harvesting that
they cannot. or think they cannot, find
time to feed and water the growing
animals. The crops of course need at
tention in season, but so does the live
stock 1t will pay better to hire hands at
big wages than to allow field crops
or stock to suffer for want of at
tention
Just as sson as spring pigs are a
day or two old they must be allowed
to go out of the house and exercise
in the pen.
After they are week old they
should be given the run of a grassy
lot or pasture with the SOW, and all
through the summer they must be
allowed freedom TO feed and exercise
on good range.
1t is a we'll known fact among stock
men that the cheapest meat put on
an animal is the first hundred pounds,
and that the second hundred pounds
is put on more chsaply than the third
With hogs. at the present prices of
grain, the third and fourth hundred
pounds represent no profits. With
spring pigs on good pasture and fed
morning and evening with good slop
OF shorts and a little dry corn they
will put on a pound of weight each
day and be ready for heavy feeding
when corn is ripe or ready TO hog
down. They will not do it on water
and corn alone. The variety during
the first months of growth must be
furnished 10 give them large frame
and vigorous constitution, so that they
will have capacity for grain feed In

BY FRED r CRANE. UNIVERSITY
OF ILLINOIS)
There are many different kinds of
plows. but they may all be divided
into three types, according to the
shape of the mold board. One is the
sod pillow, with the long, sloping mold
board, which turns the sod clear over.
The second has a mold-board of me-
dunn slope, which turns the furrow
upon edge, but does not throw it en-
tirely over. The third type Is a bluff
mold-board. which turns the furrow up
and thoroughly pulverizes it.
Ground can be we'll plowed only
when 1t will pulverize thoroughly. If
it turns up in chunks and cakes the
land is not properly underdrained.
Many farmers are finding that their
tiled fields are not thoroughly drained
between the old ones.
The pillow bottom is the part of the
implement that does the work Turn
the pillow upon its back and look across
the bottom. put straightedge
lengthwise upon the bottom or sole
of an old pillow and of new one and
find whether the shares dip down at
the point. If the point dips down as
the pillow stands in the furrow, the
point would of course turn up when
the pillow is inverted and the straight
edge will touch the point of the share
and the heel of the land side, but
there will be a space of about three
sixteenths of an inch between the
straight-edge and the land side, where
the latter joins the share. This dip
ping down of the point is to make the
pillow go into the ground and il is
called the suction" of the pillow. The
pillow as it comes from the factory
should be and generally is construct
ed so that ii floats freely in the
ground cutting a uniform furrow of
the depth for which the plow is ad-
justed If a walking pillow requires to
be forcibly tilted or held in a certain
position there Is something the mat
ter with the implement In the riding
pillow the suction should be twice as
great as in the walking pillow. The
suction or dip of the point is almost
always right In the new pillow.
After the pillow has been used for
some time the point often gets worn
off or "snubbed up" so that a straight
edge laid upon the bottom OF the pillow
as before would rock over the middle
Such a pillow cannot be made to stay
at the proper depth in the ground
without materially increasing the
draft 1t is supposed that this sue
tion Will be corrected by the furrow.
In riding pillow the bearing surface
at the wing is decreased. giving the
share much greater angle at that
point. This bearing surface is not
needed TO hold the riding pillow level
because II is loaded on wheels and
supported in a rigid position so it
cannot tip. In sharpening the share
of a walking pillow 1t Is important to

see that sufficient bearing surface Is
given to the wing
When the wing wears off, leaving
but a small bearing surface upon the
bottom of the furrow at that corner
it allows the pillow to tip toward the
furrow. In a riding pillow the bear
ing surface at the wing is decreased
giving the share much greater angle
at that point This bearing surface is
not needed to hold the riding pillow
