Notes From Our Farm Demonstration Agent
Our Motto: Get In Love With Your Farm"
w. II. HUMBLE.

NV is the time to do your fall
bre 'iIing, provided your clay is
dry at the time of breaking, pIow
as deep as you can if you are
using a disc breaker, but if you
are using an ordinary turning
plow break about two inches
deeper than you did when you
last broke your land.
If You have good crop of
green vegetation to turn under
it will help your land very much.
Be certain to plant a cover crop
on all lands turned this fall.
Don't plant any crop on lands
turned this fall for at least two
weeks after turning.
Oats planted this fall will be
worth $500 per acre as a grazing
proposition.
Mr.. Farmer, if you don't own
a disc breaker, now is a good
time to buy one and use it.
Turn under half your bean
land as soon as possible and
plant the land in oats; you will
have good grazing for your stock
when your beans are gone.
Fall planted oats will keep
hogs in good shape, Try it,
Every acre planted in cotton
this year should be planted in
oats or some winter clover. Try
an acre in clover.
Do you want your land ter.
raced or side hill bitches put 10?
| will be pleased to help you at
any time.
All farmers in this parish who
have planted lespedeza are high
ly pleased with results. Try
some next spring.
If you expect to plant lespe.
deza next spring now is the time
to buy your seed. l can tell you
where t. buy it at the least cost.
If your hogs, horses or cattle
are sick let me hear about it. |
will help you get them cured.
[ inocuIated 70 hogs last week.
Better have yours lnocuI.tel be-
fore they get cholera. lnncula-
ton in time is the only prevent
atlve.
Here is the best hog medicine
in the world: Four bushels char
coal, one buSheI "f oak or hick-
ory ashes, one peck of salt and
two pounds of copyeras, Put
the charcoal into a box; mix the
ashes, salt and copperas well,
pour over the coal and shake the
bov until it is we'll mixed. then
knock a strip off the box large
enough for u hog to get his nose
into at bottom of box; place the
box under cover.
The prices given on cottonseed
products in last weeks farm
notes we're copied from the Pro-
gressive Farmer. I omitted to
give the paper credit for same.
At the time the statemement
was made such prices prevailed;
since, the qrices have dropped a
little. stand by the statement.
I am not after the man who
buys cotton seed or anyone else.
I am trying to post the farmers
as to what their stuff is worth
Any seed buyer who is a mer
chant knows it's to his advantage
to pay the best possible prices
for seed. If a customer owes
500 and he gets $40 for his seet
he pays all his debt; if he gets
$16 he don't pay all; if he owes
nothing he can spend $40 if ht
gets that price.
Mr.. cotton seed buyer, if yor
are a merchant, get out your in
voices and see what YOU paw tn,

What Was tha npress aanag2

From King Johns Eelgn to that of
William ", it was customary during
wartime TO press men by force into
the army and navy. in order TO increase
the lighting strengths. Bodies of men
known as press gangs, each under the
command Of lieutenant, were en-
powered to seize aud enlist suitable
men. From 1858 Onward this system
was chiefly employed on behalf of the
navy. Often the press gang went
down to some great seaport and board
ed all the merchant ships lying at an
Choir in order TO collect sailors for the
royal navy. II was not unusual for
the sailors of some merchant vessel
just returning home after long voy-
age TO be forced on board a man-cf-
war waiting in harbor to make up its
complement.

Father of Texas League Played Here
-:I:- -:II:- -:H:- -:H:- -:I:-
Stallings Was With Galveston Team
BY w. MOsEBACH.

TAN ANTONIO. Tex, Dec. 15.-An in
teresting chapter, heretofore un-
written, was added to Texas base
ball history last week when it was
learned here how John j. McCloskey,
father Of the Texas. league, got his
start. Oddly enough, it was in the state
in which he later got into the diamond
spotlight that he made his professional
bow. This was back in 1886, two years
before his star of hope got into the as
ceDdancy, when he was a battery mate
of Phil (Red) Ehret on the FL Paso
Browns Thus it is that McCloskey fig
ured as a backstOp in his day.
FL Paso, always a good ball town,
prided itself in those days in having IN
the Browns the strongest baseball team
in the state, for which it had stand
ing challenge to meet any team for
money, marbles or chalk. Among the
teams that visited Ell PasO that year
were the old Louisvilles, who were
making a tour of the Pacific coast I'M
der the management of Jim Hart later
of Boston and Chicago.
Placed Joplin on Map.
Previous to that time McCloskey ana
Louisville, their home town. and among
these was the John L. Deppens team
from which numerous stars have grad
uated. The year 1887 found the PAIR
ern league, where they finished the sea-
son. 1t was then McClOskey selected
pick of the players in the Western
league and made a tour Of Texas under
the name Of the Joplin club, which
the commercial club Of that city sent
out as an advertising proposition How
well this project was carried out can
be told by everybody who followed Ine
game when the Joplins came out, for
they truly placed the town on the map
by their record breaking performances.
Tour Extended TO Laredo.
On that memorable tour, which eX-
tended down to the Mexican border as
far as Laredo, where they defeated the
crack Laredos by a score Of something
like 80 to 1, they met all corners, among
them the Cincinnati Reds and the New
York Giants, touring Texas, both Of
whom were vanquished. McCloskey's
team was composed of the following
players: Pitchers, Red Ehret, Harry
Dooms, Joe UkOtter, Frank Hoffman,
George Proesser catchers, Charles Brad
ley and Ed Mullaly; first base, Charley
(SilenD IsaacsOn; second base. Gus
Sherry; shortstOp, Jim (Mikado) Flynn
