'SIIO and SlLAG[
Suggestions as to Winter Food
for Live Stock
HAY WILL Be SCARCE
Good Corn EnsiIaoe Is Excellent
Stuff for Stock to Eat at.
Any Time

When timothy hay is worth 81 per
ton Tor feeding, good corn ensilage
is worth about S3 per ton. The pres
ent indications are that hay is going
to be scarce the coming winter, as
the crop seems to be short in nearly
every section of the state. This will
mean that hay will sell for a price
considerably above the average, and
will mean that all kinds of roughage
will be worth correspondingly more.
Ii timothy hay should be worth S12
per ton on the farm, good ensilage
will be worth about SIS.
The prospects for corn crop were
certainly never better in Minnesota
than at pIesent, and, with good cul-
tivation and a reasonable amount of
rainfall, an unusually good crop is
assured. Likewise the acreage of
corn in this state is considerably more
than ever before. If some satisfac-
tory method can be provided for
saving the emmense amount of feed
that will evidently be produced in
this corn crop, there will be no need
for reducing the amount of live stock
on our farms, and it will be practical
to encrease the amount on many of
the farms. With these facts in mind
the Minnesota Experiment Station has
no hesitation in urging every farm
er, who can afford to do so, to pro-
vide himself with some sort of silo
in which the corn can be stored. The
average cost of raising and storing
siiage, on Minnesota farms, for the
past several years, has been about
1926 per ton. If from So to IS worth
of feed can be secured, at a cost of
1925 it makes reasonable invest
ment. Under present circumstances,
that is, a very evident shortage in
the supply of other roughage in the
state, we believe that any farmer
who has twenty or more head of
stock will do well even to borrow
money with which to erect a good
silo, i'm which to store a portion of
his corn crop, which will enable him
to keep all his stock and probably
increase his herd; while if he does
not provide silage, he would be likely
to keep his stock rather poorly, and
will probably have to cut down his
herd.
A silo that will hold 100 tons, which
is a good silo for an ordinary farm,
can be erected at a cost not far from
$500. Interest on $500 is a small
when it enables one
to keep well all his live stock, or
when the lack of such structure
means reduction in the live stock
kept, or at least reduction in the in
come from the stock. There are many
farms, of course, on which it is not
advisable to build silos at present;
but any ordinary farm, on which
enough live stock is kept to maintain
its productivity, affords condition
under which the proposition to erect
a silo should at least receive careful
consideration. ID. Wilson, Supt.

BOSTON, August 31.-Marty O'Toole.
for whom it is deposed the Pirates paid
1850, made his debut as a National
League twirler yesterday afternoon
against the Rustlers and pitched Pitts
burgh to victory by 8 runs to 4.
After the game many of the fans
cheered O'Toole SO loudly that he lifted
his cap, with a pleased smile. as he
walked to the bench, and Manager Fred
Clarke congratulated him and patted him
on the back in the presence of the multi
tude. Several hundred of his friends and
neighbors from South Framingham root
ed vociferously for O'Toole throughout
the game and interrupted the combat to
present him with diamond pin. Billy
Kelly, his hardly less famous battery
mate, caught his shoots in clever fashion.
O'TOole really looks like a headliner
on the mound. He was naturally ner-
vous and passed ten men, but he tight
ened up whenever there was any danger
and pulled himself out Of. holes like a
worldbeater. He famed nine in the
game. Killing and Mcdonald twice each.
1t was not the hitting by the Rustlers
which earned the runs, but rather er-
rors by the Pirates. for a wild throw by
Jack Miller was very saffron in hue.
O'Toole seemed to lose himself when
Gibson took his place behind the bat.

Pete Cassidy, manager of the Whining

and asked for an opportunity to get some
of the Phillies' young talent after the
"weeding out process.
II wish the newspapers would stop pub
fishing that Pitcher Baxter has been sold
TO the Philltes by my club" said Cassidy.
II sold Baxter 10 Buffalo, OF the Eastern
League. and he will join that cluo Sum-

is a rule in our league against farming
and therefore would not he permitted

We 'farmed Pitcher Oldham to York
said Fofel. I'VE never signed Oldham T.
a contract. He was never the property
of the Philadelphia club. and therefore
the York club Is not violating a Tri-State

The PhiIlies will play two games with
the Chicago Cubs this afternoon. weather
permitting. That will leave one game
unplayed, but 1t viii be contested in
Chicago during the western trip of the

the New York Giants for tomorrow after

His record calls attention to his effec-

notable work in the rescue department
even II all of his attempts at rescuing
have not been successful.
Twenty-Five times this season CrandaIi
has been called into contests 70 succeed
some other pitcher. Nine of those games
the New Yorks won. but the fact that
they lost thirteen of them does not neces-
sarily reflect on Crandall- for most. IL not
all of them, may have been lost before he
went to the box Indeed. the fact that
every one of the twenty-five games IN
which he played the relief role WAS IN
ished by him. whether or not the Giants
lost, is q tribute TO his ability TO 10 good
work after somebody else has been taken
out 1t points strongly TO ability on his
part to check opposing hitting
In fact, in not Q single game in which
Crandall has relieved somebody else has

such games New York has beaten ST.
Louis twice. Pittsburgh twice. Brooklyn
twice. Chicago twice and Boston once:
losing games in which Crandall supplant-
ed another pitcher are: Pittsburgh four
times, Philadelphia once. Cincinnati fye
times, Chicago twice and 81. Louis once.
AS said. the preponderance OF defeats
does not in itself indicate any lack or ef-
fectiveness on Crandairs part.
Crandall mas been knocked out IN only

Either the Cleveland pitchers always
