Land tenure and land service in Finland pre-
sent many interesting features. The more salient
points actual survivals of federal times.
The class of peasant which may be called ia
borer-farmers" consists of men who receive no
wages. They occupy buildings belonging to the
landowner which they are required to keep in
repair. The landowners make grants OF seed
and other necessaries, and of certain lands which
the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own bene-
fit. They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs. In return they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses. On holdings where
there is clay, the laborer-farmers allowed to
make bricks and to what they by sales,
paying so much per cent on their gains to their
landowner
Many laborer-farmers quite well off, and,
whilst they retain their status peasants, their
sons and daughters sent to excellent schools
and enter government and commercial employ
ments This class of men must not, however, be

SPREADING GERMS
OF HOG CHOLERA
Running Water a Potent Source
Of Contamination.

The germs Of hog cholera do not
seem to spread through the air by
means Of wind so much or so readily
as they do by being carried on the feet
of men and animals or through the
transportation of sick or diseased hogs
themselves.
Streams Of water will carry hog
cholera perhaps more rapidly and In
more dangerous quantities than can be
done in amy other way except by ne
tuaI contagion Sick hogs should never
have access to running water. and GER
tainly no dead hogs should ever be
thrown in a stream. Here is one place
where team work among neighbors
can accomplish results which could
not be accomplished without it, If all
the farmers in Il given neighborhood
will use every precaution against chol-
err it can soon be- eradicated with the
serum treatment. 1t is part Of one S
duty to his neighbors to protect them
against danger. and this means that

The SQUARE Silo.

The squire silo is not popular with
those who have used them and tried
them out in comparison with the per-
fected round type, says Farm and Fire
side There are several reasons for
this. perhaps the most important being
that the square silo wastes too much
silage.
Silage packed into square silo will
not settle evenly. The middle will 90

walls in the corner and bunch mp. max
ing mir holes and crevices. These will

COMMISSION TO
DRAW LESS Coin
President Johnson Favors Re.
duction of World Series
Percentage.

New York, Oct President John
son of the American league and a
member of the national commission
is prepared to advocate the reduction
of the commissions share of the re-
ceipts of the worlds series in future
years and even to declare the COM
mission out CT ali share in the receipts
if his associates agree.
At present the commission deducts
10 per cent of the gross receipts of
all postrseason series conducted under
its auspices. The growth OF baseball
has made that 10 per cent amount
to such sum that i: has excited the
cupidity of the players who share in
the receipts of the post-season series,
President Johnson's suggestion is
not to increase TO any extent the
| emoluments of the ball players from
these post-season series, but to dc
| away with the present system of pay,
ing the cost of conducting the national
commissions Offices. The American
league executive favors cutting the
national commissions share of post.
season series to 8 per cent, or cutting
il out altogether.
| Under the present system the club
owners, whose teams take part in the
worlds series turn over to their re
sFective leagues 25 per cent of their
share of the receipts of the games
/ pIyed. Johnson will suggest that
hereafter the gross receipts of the
first four games be divided 60 pei
cent to the players and 40 per cen
to the club owners, and that the clut
owners split all receipts after the frs
four games, giving 25 per cent OF theil
total share to each league, and the
the commission assess each league
equally for its maintenance.

ELEVEN
LOSES star MAN
Socials' Quarterback Out of the
Game for Season With a
Broken Collar Bone.
CONTEST ENDS A TIE, 6-6
D;stiller Team Badly Weakened for
Game With Independents
Oct. 10.

When the Peoria Socials invade
Rock Island Oct. 10 for game with
the Independents. they will be minus
the services of Lynch Conway, star
quarterback, who was put out of the
lineup for the remainder of the season
at Peoria Sunday, in the opening con-
test between the Socials and Cabery
aggregation, which ended a tie at &c.
Conway was taken from the field late
in the fourth quarter, suffering from a
broken collar bone and a dislocated
shoulder. Very little chance remains
for the star backfield man to get back
into the game this season. Both Con-
way and Cady, left half, played a
spectacular game for the Socials and
we're the most consistent ground gain
ers. Conway's running back the ball
on punts and his clever lodging on
quarterback runs and fake forward
passes sent him towards the coveted
goal line many times. Cady's terrific
battering at the Cabery line was pro-
ductive of many gains and had he
been supported as his work deserved,
could have taken the ball from one
end of the field to the other by straight
plunges through the Cabery line.
A great deal of fumbling marred
the game and the terrific heat slowed
up the players in large degree. Both
teams used the forward pass repeat
eddy. The Socials got their touch
down at the start of the second period.
Conway caught punt and put up
great exhibition of broken field run
ming in returning the ball to the 40
yard line. Cady was given the ball
and three smashes off Cabery's left
guard sent the Socials' captain over
the line. Neither team scored during
the third quarter, Conway's defensive
work featuring The Cabery squad
scored in the last quarter when their
captain, Miller, took forward pass
IS yards for touchdown After Con-
ways injury, Williams finished the
game in his place.
The Rock Island squad regrets the
injury to Conway, and although the
accident will better their chances for
victory, the local men would have
preferred to the meet the Socials with
their strongest lineup.
