sixteenth century. for instance. a lean
year meant sacrifices for all. A great
scarcity OF victuals H. tho seasons
OF 1862 and 1863 prompted a typical
move OF the authorities OF England.
Parliament then stepped in and or
dered all persons OF whatever degree
to thresh their corn and dispose OF 1t

tion. Any stack found standing In the
middle OF July became the property OF
the government. An act thus put In

Damaged Wheat for Hogs

| Corn is cheaper this year thar
it has been for several years and
so are hogs. 1t appears, however
that in number of localit ;es
there is some badly damaged
wheat which even with cheap
corn can probably be more econo.
mically fed than sold, and which
brings up the question how wheat
should be fed to hogs.
This has been definitely an
swered by number Of expert.
ments, the most recent being that
conducted at the Nebraska Elk
pertinent Station, where it was
found that the best way in which
to feed wheat to hogs is to grind
the wheat and soak it before
feeding. Hogs fed in this way
made a one-fifth cheaper gain
than those fed dry, whole wheat
By grinding the wheat it was
found that the cost to make 100
pounds Of pork was reduced one
fifth.
Their conclusions established
by careful test are interesting.
They found, for instance, that
three pounds Of wheat which had
been ground and soaked produced
as much grain as four pounds of
whole wheat that had only been
soaked. Although it costs but 4
cents a bushel to grind wheat, it
increases it's feeding value 81
cents bushel. Ground wheat,
even if fed dry, without soaking,
produced gains AZ per cent faster
than where whole wheat is fed.
Faster gains and better finish
were obtained by feeding ground
wheat if a small amount Of tank
age was also fed with it.
It is doubtful if any man can
afford to feed 75-cent wheat with
corn at so cents, but for the man
whose wheat is practically nm
marketable, feeding wheat allows
q profit which would otherwise
be a loss. In any case he cannot
afford to neglect grinding his
wheat. Farmer and Stockman.

SUNSHINE FLOODS

Championship Game and Mrs.

By George R. Holmes.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Philadelphia, Oct 9-The weather
man was pinch hitting like fiend for
feverish fandom today. What poets
describe as can azure sky" floated
over sun-splotcned Philadelphia for the
second verse of the all-popular ditty,
the worlds series.
1t was football weather for a base
ball populace. Small chunks of ice
seemed to wander promiscuously around
in the ozone, but under the hectic in
fluence of the coming battle royal,
passed unnoticed. The sun, although
getting away from the pole in cool

but is on tip toe for a first peek at
Mrs. Norman Gait, the president s fl
ancee. 1t is only mildly interested in
President Wilson-it has seen him be.
fore-but Mrs. Gait even snatched
some of Alexander IS popularity.
And when Philadelphian can forget
UfOVer Tor SOMEBODY VINO can I play
baseball, that somebody must be some
body.
Next to Mrs. Gait, the interest CEN
tered in who is going to pitch. There
WASH t much interest in that yesterday
as Moran had only one ace. Pat must
lead a king today. Carrigan, on the
other nand, has several aces, and quite
bunch Of kings.
1t looked early today like Leonard
for Boston and Chalmers for Philadel-
phia.
Leonard is a bear. He has been prov.
ing it all the season, and the players
say he is the best southpaw in the
game since Marquard.
Chalmers is favored because he is
pitching next best to Alexander.
Mayer is, or has been, in the midst
of a protracted slump. Eppa Jeptna
Rixey has not been lucky this season.
Moreover it takes something besides
good pitching to darn those Red Sox-
it takes a goodly quantity of gray
matter. Chalmers worst enemies new
er had nerve enough to charge him
with lacking brains.

TOURISTS BECOME
GASOLINE MISERS
Eighty New Maxwells in Interesting
Competition for Flanders Prizes.

Detroit, Oct 9.---One of the feature
events of the touring year, the returns
from which are awaited with great in
terest generally is the unique competi-
tion just held by the Maxwell Dealers
association of Zone la sales district
including eastern New York, New Eng
land, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Maryland.
The event was an efficiency run in
which eighty new 1916 Maxwells, fresh
from the factory, competed, over n
cross-country course lying between Buff
falo and the dealers respective home
cities. 1t followed visit to Detroit
where the members of the association
had inspected the busy Maxwell plants,
and had purchased for the run the $52,
400 worth Of cars which they used in
it.
The dealers took ship at Detroit for
Buffalo, their eighty new automobiles
occupying the hold. At the Lake Erie
port they climbed into their cars and
rolled out for the test.
Each car had been furnished lubri.
eating oil and water for the start. The
oil reservoir had been sealed, it being
taken for granted that one gallon
would be enough TO carry any Of the
cars to its destination, as none Of the
contestants had TO travel more than
1000 miles
The tour left Buffalo in two main di.
visions, travelling east and south. These
divisions also split, as the members Of
the party reached their respective
homes. For long Instances, however,
each main division presented a gay ar
ray, the new cars being still further
embelished by liberal decorations
which featured wide variety Of pen
nants, bearing the names Of the cities
which were the respective destinations.
During the run each driver kept ex-
act track Of the amount Of gasoline
used. On his arrival he filled out n
blank form Of affidavit which be for
warded 10 Walter Y. Flanders, the

suits were hoped for, as the tour pro-
gressed.
Several Of the tourists living in east.

homes in one day Of running by cover
ing from 200 TO 300 miles. For most
Of the tourists the run confined two
