FEEDING TANKAeE TO HOGS.

Corvallis.-Because it has been
proven that wheat alone does not
produce the best gains in pig fatten-
ing, it is suggested by the Oregon
Experiment League that the wheat
farmers in eastern Oregon try sup
plementing it with digester tankage.
Digester tankage Is the refuse of
the packing houses thoroughly cook
ed, dried and ground. 1t comes in
sacks and will keep indefinitely. 1t
may be obtained from North Port.

ton, and with freight added will cost
about $55 a ton in most parts of
Ter quantities the cost would be
slightly greater.
Thrifty shoats of fairly uniform
size and quality, weighing between
60 and 100 pounds would be suitable
animals with which to try the expert
ment. They should be divided into
two lots as nearly uniform as posi-
BILE, and each lot should be carefully
weighed at the opening of the ex-
pertinent. 1t is best to weight for
three successive days and take the
average as the correct weight for the
second day.
The first lot should be given three
pounds Of ground wheat a day, di.
vided into two feeds, gradually in
creased in amount until the animals
are getting all the grain they will
clean up at each feed. They should
come to the trough hungry and stay
there until all the feed is cleaned
up. The second lot should get mix
ture of one part tankage to nine
parts wheat, fed at the same time
and in the same way as the other
pigs.
At the end of about 60 days the
animals should be weighed and the
average gain per day for each should
be estimated, as well as the total
amount of feed consumed by each
and the food consumed to produce
each pound of gain. The difference
in the appetite and the thrift of in
dividual pigs should be noted and
the lot in best market condition
1t is unnecessary to weigh the
feed every day, as a few sacks for
each lot may be weighed and each
group of pigs be fed out of its own

LEGEND OF THE MISTLETOE
Some Claim Goddesses Kissed All
Who Passed Under Plant as Sym.
boil of Love.
(By E. r. GAILLARD.)

CBy E. r. GAILLARD)
According to Scandinavian mythol-
ogy, Loki (the god of evil) wa. the
sworn enemy of Baldur (the god of
light, and tried by every means in his
power to kill him. but failed because
nc was invulnerable to everything that
came from earth-air, fire. or water.
Loki, at last, conceived the idea that
the mistletoe, springing from neither,
would serve his purpose, and, having
an arrow made from that wood, he
helped Hodi (the blind god of dark.
ness), to aim it, and Baldur fell dead
shot through the heart
All the gods and godesses prayed
for his restoration to life, and when
the prayer was granted 1t was de-
creed that the mistletoe should never
more have power to do harm unless
1t touched the earth. and the goddess
OF love was appointed to guard it.
Some legends claim that the god.
dess kissed all who passed under the
plant as a token that it was no long.

love, while others assert that she ex.

ton. or the bough should be allowed
to work harm.
Another reason for the kissing
privilege conferred by the plant is
said to be that lovely maiden pre-.
ferred death to the kisses of an old
monk who pursued her, and her pray
ers for ydeliveranee were answered by
Transforming her into a mistletoe
branch and placing her in a tree.
The monk waited for her return
but rather than that. she clasped the
tree and remained clinging to it, leav
Ing the waiting monk to kiss whom
ever he could catch.
The custom of kissing beneath

| knows when or how it originated
but when young people are found Sc

most berries on, 1t is fair to suppose
that they know kiss must be given
for each berry plucked. and that the
ceremony is never complete until
every berry is off the branch.
There was once a common, though
mistaken belief that the mistletoe
grew on oak trees only, but that was
30 far from true that the Druids, who
held the oak as absolutely sacred be-
cause they believed it to represent
the One Supreme God, deemed the
mistletoe doubly sacred il found on
one, and carefully guarded it until the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

New York, Dec. 12-Union Pacific was again the center of activity on the stock exchange today and there were further spectacular fluctuations in it's price.

The market as 8 whole showed more stability than during yesterdays dis turbance. Although traders had no fur ther information as to the cause of the unsettlement and speculative sentiment was confused, there was less appre- i hension on the part of security hold CTS. The recent declines made prices more attractive and considerable in- vestment buying was reported. | There was no recurrence of wide 1 spread liquidation of high grade in vestment stocks but on the other hand 1 offerings were taken with sufficient readiness to hold up the general level. 1 The result was that the market as a whole did not respond as readily as 1 yesterday to the break in Union Pa cific.

WHY MANAGERS FAIL.
Ted Sullivan Gives His Views on the Subject.

Ted Sullivan in the Sporting News, has the following to say on Why Man
 agers Fail: You can never take any,
 thing for granted in baseball and the truth of the adage is shown in the un- certainty of the tenure of managers 8
 position of a ball team, unless he is the owner of his own club. What
 makes the uncertainty as it pertains to the manager? I venture to tell why. The heads of all other departments of business or professions in life, whether they be railroad officials or heads of commercial houses, are men who have climbed step by step to the top in their calling. Therefore, they
 know the wants of the smallest de- partment, as well as the highest, in the business they follow.
 But the owners of ball clubs are
 not of that class, generally Instead they are gentlemen who have come
 into the game either for the excite
 ment it affords them, for the glamor | of being in the public eye. or the sup
 posed profits it gives. They were never drilled in the rudiments of the
 game, either in it's playing or it's pol 1 ities. Therefore, they become a prey
 to the bad advisers of the outside world, or to the cunning wiles and i intrigues of managers or players.
 There Is no business that will give
 8 manager of ball club credit for Iso much of what he is not entitled Fto or charge him with what he is not i guilty of as baseball. How many 1 times have we seen a flock of young
 eagles in the shape of a ball team carry an owl of a manager to the top when he was actually drawback and how many times, on the other hand, have we seen 8 magnetic genius of an eagle in the way of a manager
 put sight into a flock of owls and
 show them to- the top, only to have it said that he had the team.
 The experts of the game have real 1 ized this in more than one case Pre- judice against a man will give him
 credit for nothing whatever his tal-
 ents, while prejudice in his favor will 1 give him honors he should never be
 accorded. But it is baseball and base

Hides.

the past month I have heard many people in Chicago say, What a master stroke 1t would be for the White Sox to engage Frank Chance for the sea son of 1913'-ignoring the fact that James Callahan is still manager of that team. No one is more pleased than I to see the Chicago public ap- preciate a man who has been the leader that Chance has. Being & Chi cagoan myself almost from boyhood, l, indeed, admire such sentiment from the Chicago public, but l object to appreciation of one leader at the eX- pense of another who is entitled to a place in public favor
 James J. Callahan joined the Sox fin 1911 as a come back player. He took the management of the team in the spring of this year 1912. He be- gan with almost an entire new inf1eld and an uncertain team generally. By infusing his own enthusiasm and genius into a bunch of misfits, more or less, it took a spurt in the early part of the season and led the Amer ican league race. All at once his pitch ing staff gave way, even some of the veterans of that staff falling by the wayside-namely, Scott and Lange. This left him with but one pitcher
 
 CTS on whom he banked failed him, but he came in fourth, making as hard fight as any club in the race. Then came the series for the championship of Chicago, and Callahan was forced to battle against veteran team, one victorious on the ball field for the last seven years.
 Tn the face of the most distressing and discouraging breaks of the game, Callahan held his team in battle ar ray against five straight onslaughts- not once hoistfng the white flag in any form of quitting In fact he could not i quit, because he does not come from a race of 'quitters.' After the Cubs had taken the first three entrench- ments of the White Sox, with only one : more redoubt to take, to make 1t a rout for the Sox in the shape of four defeats, the Sox rallied behind the last entrenchment and made their charge on the confident Cubs, routing them bag and baggage over hill and dale and , planting the Sox championship ban ner in the heart of Chicago.
 What the Sox did to the Cubs never | had a parallel either in worlds ser l les or a city series With four con- secutive games to make them victors, 1 they outfought, they outgamed and outgeneraled the Cubs in those four games of oakland no matter who : led the Cubs, whether it was Smith, Jones or Brown, Callahan outgeneraled i him and outgamed him. Jimmy Calla- hans personality figured in the 1911 city series, which the Sox won, and he demonstrated as a leader this year with everything against him, even the 1 taunts of his supposed friends, those gentry who are never with a man only when he is a winner. He stood the gaff throughout and won. In my humble opinion, there should be nc talk of supplanting Jimmy Callahan with any manager, no matter who he was or what his record. Chance is l Chance, and all give him credit, but Callahan is Callahan, and there is only l one of him."

New York, Dec. 12-Several excit- ing incidents marked the continuance of the six day bicycle race at Madison Square garden tonight but neither ac- cident or sprint eliminated any of the riders or changed their relative po- sitions.

CHANGE A FREE AGENT.

New York. Dec. 12.-There is noth- ing now to prevent Frank Chance, for mer manager of the Chicago Nation als, from signing a contract to man age the New York Americans, accord ing to announcement this afternoon that telegram had been received from Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Nationals, waiving claim on his long-tim rival in league pennant fights. The New York club was the last of the National league clubs to waive.
 McGraw's willingness to follow the lead of other clubs in his league had not been questioned as he and Chance are close friends personally and the New Yorker has been known to favor Chance for the leadership of the High flanders. The New York manager was in Pittsburg when the question of waivers came up to make Chance fin ally a free agent, or the waiver would have been forthcoming sooner, Me- Graw's friends said
