ARLIN, TEXAS, March LETT
IN is known for the first time
to-day that Manager Nc
Graw, of the Giants. is beyond a doubt
the highest salaried manager in the
game. MCGraw's annual salary from
the Metropolitan Exhibition Comma
ny (New York club is exactly $50,
600 This was disclosed when Nc
Graw made an affidavit before a no.
tary as demanded by the new income
tax law.
In the month of February, 1913, he
signed a fiVe-year contract at the IN
stigation of President Hampstead at
the above munifiCent terms.
McGraw's previous contract had
still two years to run but Hampstead,
to show his appreciation of his man
ayers valuable services not only
raised his salary from $4,000 TO $50,
900, but the old contract was de-
stroyed by mutual consent and the
new one for Ave years substituted.
McGraw's income from baseball last
year was 1913, 500. in addition to his
salary. his share of the Worlds Sc
ries was about $4,000 and the other
81. 600 was derived from his share OF
Sunday exhibition games.

LIME WORKS WONDERS
IN MlRYLARD SOIL


For the past six years Illinois farm
ers, under the direction Of their Agri-
cultural College have been applying
the remarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station. the results of which
were published In 1906. Experiments
covering twelve years showed that the
difference in yield between land un-
lined and land treated with lime car
donate or ground shells was in an
average of four corn crops, Ave bar
rels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlimed land and any
other form OF lime used was three bar
Fels, in four crops Of corn or an aver
age increase Of from three-fourths to
one and a quarter barrels Of corn per
acre a year. So far an investment Of
two to three dollars an acre the return
per year was 81 to Sc and for four
crer7 foi the same investment in lime,
sle 5 s14 These results are obtain
ahla on most unlimed soils Of South
q a Maryland and would mean an In
crease in income to the average farm
Il $500 to s4OO year as the case
night be. If only one-fourth of the
cultivated lands of Maryland showed
a similar response to the use Of lime
it would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms Of over FIVE millions Of dollars.
Such results would certainly justify
the Investment of $4,000 in soil in
vestigations as proposed by the Gov
ernor in his message to the Legisla-
ture.

OPEN DAIRY BARN
FOUND A WINNER
Pennsylvania Dairyman Enthusiastic
Over Maryland Fresh Air Stable

L. w. Lightly. of Adams county
converted by a visit to the Maryland
Experiment Station. writes as follows.
THE cold. open barn for the dairy
COW is bitter dose to an old dairy
man, but maybe he might as well take
1t and be done with. At the Mary
land Station their stable is not only
open in front. but open on three sides
A protecting wall nearly FIVE feet high
goes all the way around. with an open
space Of over three feet above it. the
whole being covered with good roof
The COWS are loose In this covered
pen with nothing in the way Of fix
lures and with plenty of dry bedding
Here they spent all the winter except
that, when being MIXED. they are put
in a clean. comfortable milking room
Close by is an old style closed barn
with windows, ventilators, etc, up tc
date. The cows in the open stable
produced more milk at less cost than
the cows IN the warm stable and the
milk from the open stable graded
higher because it was cleaner. Even
in the water Of 1911-12, with its extra
severity the open stable cows wero
ahead in profitable production. That
is what the COW says about the open
air COW stable, compared with the
closed one, and the COW. after all, is
the final authority in spite Of ideas OF
theories" The saving in manure and
the lessened cost OF caring for the
open barn COW are worth knowing
about also. Write for Maryland Elk

But Too Much Gives Them

W. E. HANGER.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Can we have too much water in the
soil for good crops We surely can.
Too mucn water destroys the life Of
the soil. The bacteria that make this
life" need not only water but air and
warmth as well. When the water
table is high they cannot do their
work. The soil is cold and plants do
not grow well in 1t. We can remedy
this trouble by tile draining. This Will
probably cost $50 to SIS an acre. This
may sound rather high at nrst, but
when we know that land drainage
elton makes all the difference between
9 very poor crop and good one. we
see that the cost OF tiling Will be
made up many times over In a few
years. Such thing if laid rightly will
last lifetime, and always insure your
crops against wet feet or poor ere }
in a wet season.
How deep. how far apart. and what
size of tile to use depends on your
farm and its location. It is not wise
to use less than three-inch tile fer
most fields. A threeinoh tile viii

H. J. PATTERSON, President.

When the farmer thinks of getting
or not new sewing machine or bread
mixer is not needed more. His wife
is the one to help him decide the ques-
ton When he thinks of getting a
share in pure bred stallion, perhaps
he had better think twice His wife
might be able to make few pure
bred chickens pay even better. When
he is planning his field work, let him
see that the half days work needed
in the garden is done in season. A
good garden will help his wife take
better care OF his family than dozen
fields Of corn.
A lot Of things can be done about
the house, from time to time, making
1t brighter and more comfortable yet
costing little A bay window might
make the living room lot cosier and
provide place for few flowers,
nice, little corner to darn socks and
sew in. The farmer might build out
bath room over the back porch with
homemade bath tub in 1t. To be
sure he ought to have running water
to go with it. Why not? Some pipe.
"a few tools. and a little knowledge OF
pipe fitting would do the trick. Add
a little gasoline engine that could
grind feed and churn or run separa-
tor. The whole outfit, engine. water,
and bath room ought not to cost over
500 If the farmer will turn to and get
busy. How many horses could he
buy for 500 that would save his wife
as such an outfit would and keep her
young!

that the cool climate Northern seed is

results from Garrett County seed are
probably due to the cooler climate IL
