NATIONALS HAVE HARD
ROW TO HOE AHEAD

With yesterday's victory in
Chicago the Nationals have won
AS many games this season al
ready as they did all last yeaf,
and they have yet 6fty-twO tO-play
to complete the schedule of 1874.
So that every game now won In
"velvet" over the winning record
of 1911, when Washington took
sixty-four games and lost ninety,
with q seasons percentage Of
.415, Philadelphia winning the
pennant with IO1 games won and
fifty lost, percentage Of 1857.
In order to break even ON the
season with a percentage Of 800
Washington has now to win only
thirteen more games while losing
thirty-nine, winning percentage
of $50 for the remainder of the
year. In order, ON the other
hand, to win the coveted 100
games which Is the desire of
every base ball club the Nationals
must win thirty-six while los
ing sixteen, which means playing
at a .802 clip. This would give
WashinEton q percentage for the
season of 1857. III Boston MAIN
would not quite suffice to enable
the Nationals to take first place,
m BOstOn's percentage this morn
ing II .878.. By winning thirty
two more games Boston would
score 1O1 with a loss OF
h:ty-three, a seasons per-
centage Of 1854. Therefore, to
win the pennant Warrington
must play at a better rate than
1902 from now ON while Boston 10
playing at . poorer rate than
1854.

EXPERIMENT IN cow FEEDING
Result Of Number Of Tests Made by
the North Carolina Station on
Rations for MIX.

The North Carolina agricultural ex-
pertinent station recently concluded
n number Of experiments to determine
The relative efficiency of narrow and
medium wide rations, for milk produc-
tion, a report of which has reached
the department of agriculture.
Eight cows from three to six weeks
in lactation we're fed three periods of
twenty-eight days each. In the first
and third periods the feed consisted
five parts of cottonseed meal, four
quarts wheat bran, three parts of corn
meal and fifty pounds of corn silage.
The nutritive ratio of this ration was
about IA.
During the second period the ration
was the same as the above except
that 2.5 pounds of cottonseed meal
was replaced by 2.5 pounds of corn
meal, giving this ration a nutritive
ration of about 1.57. The result of this
test indicates that the narrow ration
produced rs per cent. more milk fat,
and increased the fat test 0.24 per
cent. and the live weight 80 pounds.
The milk yield was practically the
same.

MULCHlNG FOR FRUIT VINES
Practice Prevents Growth Of Weeds,
Retains Moisture and Adds
Needed Humus to Soil.

A successful West Virginia raspber-
ry grower gives the following reasons
for mulching:
II prevents the growth OF weeds.
II retains moisture in the soil.
II adds humus, one OF the necessary
elements.
II keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time.
1t saves labor, the cost of mulching
an acre with forest leaves or straw
not exceeding $15.
II prevents deep freezing.
II makes the fruit more solid for
cultivation and better for shipping
purposes.
II prevents the baking OF the soil
caused by tramping at picking time
II has the disadvantage of encourag-
ing mice and establishing surface
root system. However, we have not
noticed any serious damage from ei-
ther Of these effects.
: The cost Of growing raspberries by
natures method, as like to call Il,
Is not very great. Picking 10 q nice
Job where there 10 no mud, no weeds
and where the canes have been prop
eriy pruned.
