IN MaLcel, his S1S:DDD~ beauty,
Chance has one of the best-loolzing
youngsters that ever played third
base; Maisel fields brilliantly and he
certainly can hit; then there is Jack
Knight, the elongated infielder who
was dragged back from the Inter-
national League; Williams, the big
first baseman; Rolly Zeider, one of
the most valuable infelders in the
league, daring baserunner and a
hard, timely hitter; frankie Gil
hooley, the sensational outfeider;
Holden and Whitman, both out1eld-
ers who were tried out this fall. ~
But it is the pitching department
that Chance has done well. First he
uncovered Heating, the wonderful
spitban pitcher; in the draft, from
the American Association, he drew

refused his offer of $4,000 earlier in
the season.
Chance brought Cole into the big
league when he was pilot of the Cubs.
Cole is glad to go to Chance again.
Cole was a bear in the A. A. last
season and the experience should
make him more valuable to Chance.
From the Houston, Tex, club,
Chance secured ''Dode" Criss and
Charley Rose, the best pitchers in the
Texas League.
Criss' chief pitching fault was lack
of control. He could wing a ball
across the pan like Rusie, but he sell
dom knew where it would land. Criss
started bali playing at Corsiciana,
Tex, eight years ago. When he was
let go by the Browns, after his arm
went lame, he went to the Houston
team and last year won IA games.
This year he was the best pitcher in
the league and his speed, plus the
control he discovered somewhere on
the sun-cured prairies, promises to
make him valuable man for Chance.

Cavalry Club, London.

Wellington was stormed by a furious
mob. The wedge has been driven In,
and the scaffolding, which announces
the erection of the new hotel, sounds
the death knell of Piccadilly as the
worlds greatest street Of clubs.
The older clubs will be hard put to
find new quarters commensurate with
their dignity. Instead of looking out
upon a really magnificent park-the
section Of Piccadilly I refer to is and
can be only built on one side of the
street-they will have to retreat to
quieter streets, where the outlook only
is likely toI be other peoples windows.
Even here they will find 1t hard to
pay the necessary rent. There Is
some talk Of turning Dorchester
House, rented by Whitelaw Reid, and
the Stafford and Spencer houses into
clubs, but this would probably prove
too expensive. Since the advent of
the fashionable hotel restaurant the
popularity Of club life has steadily de.
clined. With a few notable excep'
tons, the average London club is in
rather low water financially. The old
days of waiting ten years or more
for election have departed. Two or
three old clubs have broken UP and
others have amalgamated.

ing time.
Horse manure is usually the best
material to use, for it contains about
the right amount of moisture. If it is
mixed with a little bedding that has
soaked up the liquid manure, so much
the better. The n is piled in a
rick, keeping the top level, to a height
of about three feet. This is done a
week or SO before the hotbed is made
up. Then every three days the whole
pile is turned with a fork and at the
same time mixed, so that the portions
which have begun heating are distrib-
uted throughout the pile. This done
two or three times will bring about a
uniform fermentation in the whole
pile. The manure must not be used
until this condition is brought about.
The important feature about the
sash is to have the bars as small and
as far apart as possible without max
ing the sash too weak. Large bars
used with small glasses will shut out
much light at all times, and part Of
the day they completely shade the
bed. Sunshine not only helps to pro.
duce heat in the bed and color in the
plants-it is an enemy of the moulds
and does much in keeping them down.

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use Of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns,
as it is a matter Of common belief that
Canada, more than any other In the
world, will be the country Of the flu
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one Of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be
tween Canada and England very ex
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes Of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re
ceive a lot Of attention, but the bust
ness In that route will be nothing com
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we art
most concerned with the tremendou'

fitable forages for swine and should be
used more often.
Bluegrass Pasture.
The best results are obtained with
bluegrass before August and after the
fall rains, since bluegrass goes into a
resting stage during the dry weather
Of late summer. To successfully finish
hogs on bluegrass requires the feeding
of more grain per 100 pounds live
weight than on clover, alfalfa or rape
and oats pasture. The grain ration
should be ~ to 8 per cen of the live
weight of the hogs.
There have been four trials with
bluegrass. During the first two
straight corn was fed. During the last
two trials the ration consisted of corn
six parts and oilmeal one part. This is
considered better than corr alone. For
the four trials one acre of bluegrass
supported an average of 1875 head of
hogs for 142 days. The amount of pork
accredited to the for &c was 1925
pounds, or a return of $15.18 per acre,
figuring the pork at Sc cents per
pound.
Economy Of Forage Crops.
The average amount of grain re-
CURED to produce a pound Of gain
with five dry-lot experiments, where a
wellbalanced ration was fed, was 5.11
pounds. With the four forage crops
mentioned above, the average amount
was 3.49 pounds. In other words, a
saving Of a little more than 80 per
cent of the grain was effected by the
use of forage crops.
The advantage of feeding the crop
on the land should also be considered
in figuring the economy of forage
crops.
While the kind of grain to feed is
important, the amount of grain is OF
equal, if not greater, Importance in
determining the economy of gains. II
has been shown at different stations
that the best forage crops are little
more than a maintenance ration. II
gains are to be obtained, then, it is
necessary to feed some grain. Expert
ments indicate that the greatest econ
omy of grain is obtained when one anG
one-half to two pounds of grain are
fed daily for each 100 pounds of live
weight. The best general rule is tc
feed the hogs enough grain to cause
a daily gain of three-fourths of a
pound for each 100 pounds live
weight.

CLUBS OF LONDON
Aristocratic Resorts on Piccadll.
Iy Street Are Passing.
Grounds Upon Which They Are Stu

Purpose-oId Organizations Seek
Ing New Locations.

London.-The most famous street
of clubs in the world is likely before
long to lose its character. The utili-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. described as
Americanism-which introduced ice
and electric subways into London's
daily life, has decreed that Piccadilly
shall no longer be sacrosanct to clubs.
They will have to look for other quar-
tiers.
In the very heart of clubland 3 large
hotel will shortly be built. Negotia-
tons are in progress to acquire other
sites in Piccadilly for similar pur-
poses. Theatrical managers, even pic
ture show proprietors, m casting en-
vious eyes upon stately houses, when
in the old days the three bottle" men
were bundled decorously into horse
cabs and sent on their drunken way
rejoicing. The leases under which
the older clubs secured their prem
Uses are expiring-most Of them are,
according to English custom, for nine
ty-nine years.
The majority of the Piccadilly clubs
only pay a mere song for their homes.
In some cases the original owner OF
the property was a member of the
club and leased the land or building
for a "peppercorn," or nominal sum,
to his own organization. Such de-
scendants Of these generous folk as
Sir Richard Sutton, who owns q good
deal Of the land, look at the matter
in a different light. The value of Pic
cadilly sites Is about $50 per square
foot. By evicting a club the owner
Of the property in question automatic,
ally acquires a small fortune, either
by building himself or renting tC
some enterprising hotel, store or the
alter.
The subordination of the picturesque
to the u~tilitarian in Piccadilly will
probably be complete within the next
ten years. The trend of business and
of traffic in London today Is toward
the West End. Centers half way be

mented with linseed oilmeal, the ra-
ton being made up of six parts of
corn to one part Of oilmeal.
Alfalfa Forage.
Where alfalfa can be grown success
fully there is probably no forage crop
that will give better results for swine
feeding. An acre of alfalfa will pas
ture during the grazing eason from
ten to twenty shoats. The important
point to be observed is not to pasture
too closely. Best results are obtained
by so p~asturing that n or two cut
tings of hay may be taken off the field
in addition to the amount foraged off
by the hogs. AT this station alfalfa
with one years trial pastured twelve
head for 1853 days, The amount of
grain fed was about one-half of a full
feed. 1t required 3.07 pounds of grain
to produce one pound of gain, al con
trasted to five or six pounds if grain
had been fed alone in a dry lot. The
gain accredited the forage, was 597
pounds, which, with pork at 6 cents,
gave a return Of 1852 per acre.
Glover Pasture.
Red clover probably ranks next to
alfalfa. 1t will not feed so many hogs
per acre, and does not furnish pasture
for SO long a period as alfalfa. Re
suits at this station, however, show ii
to be one of the best forages. In two
trials, one acre of clover pastured
eleven head for 1870 days. The amount
of grain per pound gain was 2.97. The
gain accredited to forage in this case
vas 572 pounds, or, with pork at {
cents, the return from an acre OF
clover was $34.32.
In pasturing the clover care should
be taken not to turn in on it before il
is ten to twelve inches high. 1t should
not at any time be pastured toe
closely.
Rape Pasture.
The annual forage crop which has
given best results at this station is
rape in which has been soWn a few
oats. Rape may be sown as early IL
the spring as the ground can be
worked, or about the same time that
oats would be sown, 1t is a rapid
growing, s~ucculent crop, and hence |
is we'll adapted for swine pasture. The
Dwarf Essex" is the variety sown fol
this purpose. Good results have beer
obtained by sowing five or six pounds

Owing to the high prices of grain,
the production Of pork with grain
alone is not nearly so profitable as it
once was. 1t takes five or six pounds
of grain in dry-lot feeding to make a
pound of pork. Results Of investiga-
tons at the Missouri Experiment Sta
ton indicate clearly that pork al be
produced most cheaply by feeding
grain in combination with forage.
In most of the work done at the
Missouri Station straight corn was fed
when the forage was a legume such
as alfalfa, clover, cowpeas or soy
beans. With non-leguminous forages
such as bluegrass, rape and oats, sor-

pounds of clover sown a. this time is
also good to add to the mixture. 9he
rape should not be turned onto until
IA to IS inches high. If not pastured
too closely and the season is favorable
1t will come on again, thus furnishing
pasture for a long period.
With three trials, an acre Of rape
and pats pastured ten head for 107
days. The grain required per pound
gain was 1928 pounds. The pork ac'
credited forage is 1907 pounds, or at
