Three Inning Games.

Three innings, according to the
Kitty league bylaws constitutes a
game instead of five innings as gem
eraly accepted. After three innings
have been played the home club
does not have to issue rain checks.
The rule is published at the re-
quest OF the officers of the Phoenix
Athletic club in order that the fans
may know the rules and not kick
should rain ever prevent a game
going over three innings. The rule
is No. II in the bylaws of the Kitty
league and reads: In the event of
a game being stopped by rain or
forfeited before the completion of
three innings the home club may
issue rain checks, good for the next
successive game. II rain checks are
issued the visiting club shall not be
entitled to percentage of the gate
receipts, etc.-Paducah Sun.

DRY FARM PRINCIPLES
Opening Up Heretofore Called
American Desert.
Methods Can Be Used to Advantage
In Region With Double Amount
Of Precipitation as That Of
Arid West.

In Campbell's dry farming or scien"
tific soil culture we have the opening
OF the heretofore-Called American
Desert or the arid region Of the west.
Land which was formerly considered
unfit for agricultural purposes be-
cause Of the lack of water Ia now
yielding fair crops to the man who is
just learning the why's" and where
iores' Of the proper tilage Of the soil.
writes Guy S. Ellis In the Breeders
Gazette. The fact that this land
Yields crops OF fair average has
brought many to study the theory Of
dry farming. The subject might also
have a direct bearing on the tillage
of land In the humid region. In the
humid region we usually find time
when during the summer months we
wish to SOW forage crops or turnips
and there Is not moisture enough to
start the seeds or to supply the needs
of growing crops. Here Is where dry
farming methods can be used to adj
vantage In region with double the
amount OF precipitation as that Of
parts Of the arid west
The first requisite is firm sub
soil In firming the sub-soil. we
break up the large Jumps and compact
the whole so that the particles Of soil
lie closer together, forming a perfect
connection between the unbroken sub
soil and the loose soil of the furrow.
Capillary connection Is established,
that is, the very minute pasageways
are established through which the
soil moisture can rise from the sub.
soil to the soil above. BY using
har ow or disc dust mulch can be
made which Will hinder the further
INV ard passage of water and hold 1t
within reach Of the growing plants
or sprouting seeds.
A firm sub-soil which is In good
ply ical condition is favorable to
holding large amounts OF moisture. and
to the most rapid movements of mois4
ture by capillary attraction. II is also
favorable to the development of
the greatest amount of available
fertility and the most prolific
growth and development OF lateral
roots We should therefore bear In
mind that the soil X natsfss lseoIA,

Yesterday was the first day since
the opening of the season that no
games We're played in either the
American or National Leagues.
Two Of the National teams and six
Of the American were not scheduled
to play but as rain fell in the princi-
pal cities of the league they prob
ably would have been prevented
from playing had they been. The
result Is that a number OF double
headers will have to be played the
next few days as several of the clubs
are way behind now.

the soil has been properly tended
these conditions can be carried thus
throughout the season.
The process offarming the sub-soil
furnishes FIVE aids In carrying the
growing crops over long dry periods.
We have more water In the soil. BY
destroying the many large non-capil,
larry pores In the surface soil we
bring its grains closer together and
the water is aided In its upward pas
sage.
We gain stronger capillary move
ment OF moisture. Prof. F. r. King
of Wisconsin says, "In rolling the soil
its water-ifting power is increased to-
such an extent that often within,
twenty-four hours after rolling, the up
per l minute to minutes beneath
the firm ground contains more mois-i
ture, while the lower minutes be-
come dryer than soil adjacent which
is left untreated."
We have more rapid Development
OF bacteria and nitrates There Is
no time OF the year, according to-
Campbell. when water held In the,
soil near the surface In sufficient,
quantities will bring about as many
valuable chemical changes as In July
and August A large amount OF bac-
terra and nitrates are developed then.
This comes during the months when
Iowa generally has her drouth, II she
has any. and to get these valuablei
chemical changes we must study and
use proper tillage methods which VIII
put this moisture near the surface. .
There Is more prolific growth or
roots. Roots OF rootlers VIII not pene-
trate air spaces In the soil SO If We
wish strong vigorous root system We
must first see that the ground Is pack
ed so as to break up the Jumps and
bring the surface soil particles closer
together Again the development OF
bacteria and nitrates aid In making
vigorous root systems. The moisture
arising from a stronger capillary at.lI
traction brings food into soluble
form and the rootlers spread out to
gather in this supply OF plant food
We gain a larger percentage OF
available fertility during drouth, The
growth OF all plants depends upon thel
amount any energy of the available,
fertility. This Is great or small In

Zeal condition OF the soil

SPIDERS THAT CHANGE HUE
chameleon-Llke insects Take Color Of
Leaves and Flowers to

Every traveller that returns from

sometimes the laying Of snare to
catch other insects A curious In.

he stopped to examine singular look
Ing white flower with a blue center,
He found, to his establishment, that
1t was not flower at all. but a spi.

blue heart of the flower was the spi.
der itself lying In wait for its prey.
The legs of the cunning spider, vel.
low mottled with brown, were ex-
tended In such way as to resemble
the divisions between the petals of
the flower.
The web itself very delicately
woven into rosette pattern, with
white, and three threads that sus-
pended 1t from the bushes were so
fine as to be almost invisible. The
whole thing had the appearance OF
being suspended in the air upon a
stem concealed beneath.
When the scientist knocked the
spider from Its perch into a white
gauze net his surprise was increased
upon seeing his captive instantly turn
from blue to white. Its former mimi
cry had been practiced as a snare;
