have the largest amounts of money in

There are no more valuable four men
on the Maps roster than these men,
and their selection reflects the greatest
credit on Sam Kennedy and the other
scouts who are ever on the outlook for
men who may add TO the strength Of

during his time with the Nationals.

OF baseball knowledge that re would

He appears TO possess managerial

should be especially interesting to har-

While the association intends to clas-

announcement that owners will be al

DIR. COOK AGAIN

The position of DR.. Cook in his
polar narrative is not materially al
tered by his latest sensational rehash
through the medium of "stunt"
magazine which has seen proper to
revamp the whole business That
Cook has made monkies of his pub
fishers goes without saying. At the
same time his original tale of the pole
was by far the most interesting and
realistic from literary viewpoint of
anything ever written by an explorer
Telling the identical same things so
far as polaric phenomena are con
cerned as Peary did, Dr. Cook told
of an unparalleled experience that fairly
dazzled the world so far as its re-
cital went. Peary retold almost iden-
tically the same story only in more
simple fashion, and at a later date
Peary's telling of his experience of
getting to the pole and all he saw
there and about there was almost
identical with Cooks in all Of the
essential features The one big diff
ference between the tales of Cook and
Peary was that the latter was better
equipped for so hazardous a journey
Cooks telling of his trip to the pole
was of his getting there without sup
porting parties He had no one but
his Esquimaux and the dogs, and
nothing to fall back on except his
caches. Peary had his relay and sup
porting parties, but he does not
record anywhere that these were of
the slightest value to him, for he and
the negro Hansen kept on and on
till the sun was at standstill with
its shadows They never once turned
back to get support. Now, up to
the arrival at the pole, the stories
of these two explorers did not differ
in essential detail In fact, most that
has been said by both is marvelously
similar, almost exact as to facts.
The stories, however, are vastly diff

A Free Course in Agriculture.

In order to encourage the study OF
advanced dairy methods the Missouri
State Board. of Agriculture offers
scholarship of 500 for the purpose of
paying the expense Of young man
interested in dairying, during the
Short Winter Course in Agriculture
at Columbia which begins November
L., 1911.
The scholarship is to be awarded
to the winner of a contest in which
those who enter will be- required to
keep complete record of the amount
of milk and butterfat produced by
three or more dairy cows during the
month of September. In determin-
ing the winner, the record made by
the cows, together with the complete
ness of the report is to count one
half. The other half is to be based
upon the accuracy of an essay, telling
how the cows were fed and cared for
during the test and how the contest
ant would proceed to select COWS for
dairy purposes.
The contest is open to all boys in
Missouri between the ages of 16 to 20
years who have not already attended
an Agricultural College. 1t is hoped
that large number of boys will en-
ter the contest. The lessons learned
during the one month of keeping
records of both feed eaten and milk
produced will amply pay any boy for
his time and effort.
The records of each cow and the
essay must be submitted before Octo-
Der 10, 1911. Blanks for keeping
records, directions for testing and
any further information wanted will
be furnished by C. H. Eckles, Dairy
Department, Columbia, Mo.

of oats in the spring to dwindle down

the neighbour who thrashed before
him would have had heavier yield
per acre.
Agriculture is taught now in 213
rural schools in forty-nine counties,
and in POI high schools in Missouri.
This is the direct result of instruction
in agriculture at the summer session
at the University Of Missouri. Six
years ago when the first summer
courses were offered at the university
for teachers no instruction was given
in any of the public schools in the
state. Now the pupils of 420 schools
may learn something about scientific
methods in farming, and in many in
stances the courses are quite com |
