President Gilmore is enthusiastic over

Over in Buffalo the chief owner is Wal

years of age, who has done wonders in
that city in the real estate business in
the last fifteen years. Associated with
him in the ball club are Il. I. Carroll,
another real estate man and a former
professional ball player, and Owen b.

The other club is in Pittsburgh, and
is owned by William A. Kerr and John
B. Barbour, who recently purchased the
holdings from the men who conducted
it last season. Kerr is a contractor in
the smoke town and Barbour is stock
broker.
IT am positive we have no weak-heart-
ed men in the league" said President
Gilmore. They don't expect to go out
and make fortunes the first year. They
came in prepared to spend money and
fight, and every man is convinced there
is room for a third major league. I
should say as a guess that the combined
wealth of the men backing the clubs in
the Federal League is between $15,0OO,O 600
and so, 600 900 at the present time and
for the most part they are young men
who have only started"

With Doc White out of the way.
Hughey Jennings and his Tigers should
make a better showing during 1914. For
ten seasons this man White has been
a constant menace to Mr. Jennings and
his bunch of Tigers and Tiserettes. The
clever manner in which this slender
southpaw handed out deceiving slants
and grapevine curves when working
AGAINST the Detroits for many years back
caused the .'Tiges' to go down to defeat
thtrty-one times For in the fortyiive
contests in which G. Harris White ap-
peared against the men of Jennings he
framed up percentage in the win col
umn of 100.
This is a remarkable record when
taken in consideration that it was made
against one of the strongest batting COM
.inatioils in the american League, and IN
the seasons the Detroits We're going their
best White was the most effective
against them. During the years of
1897 50, when they won the pennant, Mr..
White captured fifteen out of the twenty
two games he hurled against them So

Agricultural Notes.

by Oscar Gunderson. County Representative
How often do we hear a farm
er say that he used his Paris
Green spray too strong and burn
ed the vines. The spray was not
too strong. 1t contained too
much acid. Always use twice as
much lime as you use Paris Green.
Stir the two in water and spray
and you will never burn the
vines. Besides the lime will Stick
the Paris Green on the leaves
and it willn wash off so easily.
Lots of cultivation will be nee
essary now with so much rain
which helps the weeds get a start.
Cultivation will help dry out too
wet soil and help keep the moist
ure in dry soil. Queer isn't it,
but true.
The effects of keeping pure bred
Guerensey bulls is nicely shown
by the following clipping from
my home paper. The grade COW
spoken of will nearly make a
worlds record if she can keep it
going for twelve months. She
produced SO much that they had
to retest to believe their figures.
NO MISTAKE IN FIGURES.
The figures in last weeks issue
on the amount of butterfat pro-
duced by grade Guernsey COW,
belonging to =. A. Stinchheld,
have been doubted by a number
of our readers and the question
has been asked if the figures were
incorrect. We have taken pains
to ask for more records of this
cow whose credit as published
was S2.5 lbs. fat for a period oil
more than 80 days. The forty
six pounds MIXED on the day
the tester was present seemed SO
large that the milk was weighed
on the two following days when
the COW gave forty-hve and one
half and forty and one-hali
pounds respectively, the latter
date being the day of a big rain
This 1872 pounds ofnilk for three
consecutive days would give
800 pounds of milk for thirty
DAYS. With a test of 50 per cent
the production of II .S8 pounds
of butterfat and the figures need
not he doubted.
| L. Nd. Rowe also has a COW
that produced 71.8 pounds o
Ibutterjat in thirty days.
Certainly this testing record
makes interesting reading fol
others besides the owners of The
cows being tested.-Waupacs

Numerous individuals, with
evil in their heart, have beseeched
the fish editor to turn the walls
of his wrath loose upon Assessor
w J. Walsh, affirming that the
said Walsh is not a true angler
and should be prohibited from
indulging in piscatorial recrea-
ton either for pleasure or gain.
1t all comes about Billy acciden-
tally catching a setting hen with
a trout fly. 1t was purely an
accident. While passing the By
ington farm on the. Deerskin the
other day he stopped to get a
drink. Laying his fly rod upon
the ground, the enticing fly was
soon noticed by an inquisitive
hen who swallowed the delectable
bug. The reel buzzed, the hen
squawked but the hook held.
Now we'll leave it to the reader
if Walsh should be censured by a
bunch of fellows who claim his
friendship.
