SAYS ATHLETICS
 HAVE NOT DESERTED.
President Fuitz Denies Report That Philadelphia Had Left Fraternity.

New York, Dec e-President David l.. Fultz of the Baseball Players Fra tern1ty issued a statement tonight de- nying the report that the Philadelphia Athletics as team or as individuals had deserted the fraternity, E'ultZ said:
 Contrary to the report circulated today that the Athletics had deserted the fraternity, l can say without the slightest danger of contradiction that there have been no defections from our organization from any source. We have known all along just where the Ath- letics stand. and their attitude today is just the same as 1t has been for months. It is true they did not sign our petition, being the only team out of the thirty in the fraternity which did not do so, but their failure was d.Ie to the preoccupation incident to a sue cessfu1 pennant fight and a worlds series, and not to any hostility to our requests.
 The report that they opposed our petition because they had no grievance and did not want to appear in a. hos tile attitude toward MT. Mack por- trays them in very selfish light, as though utterly callous to the hardships of others. I think that this statement is exceedingly unfair to them, and in view of MT. MaCk's attitude is so illog- 7cal as to brand 1t untrue on it's face. MT. Mack has already expressed him. self in favor of many of our requests, and I am quite sure he does not look upon the petition as antagonistic to him in any sense; it is therefore quite apparent that his players could have no cause to do so
 ITO those who understand the situa- tion, the report coming at this time is somewhat significant We have ex- pected for 8 long time attempts of this kind to lessen the strength of our fraternity, and months ago the players were well warned against them. I should not be surprised to see this re- port denied by the Philadelphia play CTS themselves, thereby turning it into another boomerang"

Christy Mathewson did not hit a passed. Evidently Big Six does not believe in the bean" bah. so popular with mediocre pitchers, but depends on his great control for effectiveness against the National league hitters.

TIL ' 1SS THE TIE ; S'E%

The homestealer in the plains
country, and even the new settler
who has bought land is not as 4 usual
thing very flush: his outfit is small
and his dollars are few; he is trying
to develop home out of the raw
material and he cannot afford II large
herd Of cows nor the most economical
means Of making them pay. He
should, however, exert every energy
and exhaust every resource to secure
silo. Now if he can afford it, even
if he has to borrow money, it will be
good investment to expend $3.50 to
$500 in the const ructiDn of first
class si|o. If this be impossible he
can, by using his ingenuity and his
own labor. construct ai underground
silo by excavating u pit twelve to
fifteen feet deep, A few sacks Of
cement will be sufficient to construct
workable silo that will hold from
fifty to seventy.iive tons of ensilage.
With this to tide him over the VIM
ter and short pastnrage period. with
from four to ten COWS he can not only
keep the wolf from the door while he
Is developing his farm, but he can Sc
cure the nucleus of valuable herd
by keeping his calves and allowing
them grow into money.
The trouble with the ordinary
homeSteader is that he tries to farm
too much. He usually tries to make
strike on wheat or some other So
called money crop. \ few acres
well farmed will produce fodder
enough for Il small dairy herd, which
under the present conditions win
bring in sufficient revenue to support
family. The settlement Of the
plains country today is not SO diff
cult ut least as was the settlement Of
the timbered sections OF Ohio, Indi-
ana and Michigan seventy-iive years
ago. The COW. the silo, and the
creamery have made pioneering on
the plains comparatively easy, if the
settler will use his common sense
and exercise ordinary diligence in de-
veloping his home.--Canpbells Sci
