The game was a slugging match,
and the hits coupled with errors, made
all kinds of scoring. The peculiar fea-

scored an earned run, and yet II runs
came across. Elk Mills batted heavy
in the fourth. After TWO men were
out. they got together and sent six
runs across.

FEED C0TT0NSEED TO HOGS
Hoard's Dairyman Says No Uniformly
Successful Method Of Feeding
Has Yet Heea Found.

In response to the query What ex-
perience have you had in feeding
cooked cottonseed to hogs and young
pigs?" Hoard's \Dairyman makes the
following reply:
We have had no experience in feed
ing cooked cottonseed, nor do We re-
call any experimentation along this
line. No uniformly successful method
Of feeding cottonseed or cottonseed
meal to swine has yet been found. The
poisonous effect of cottonseed meal is
said to be due to its content Of pyro-
phosphoric acid, which is developed
when the seed rs subjected to great
heat. Reasoning along this line We
would be inclined to believe that
cooked cottonseed would not prove a
safe feed for pigs. However, the
Louisiana station states that its ex-
periments do not uphold this theory.
and that the poisonous effect of the
cottonseed is due to some other factor
whose virulence is decreased by heat
ing. The seed is held to be more pois-
onous than the meal. 1t is probably
safe to feed cottonseed meal when 1t
does not constitute more than one.

sUBs0ILING MAY BE HARMFUL
Increase In Yield Does Not Pay for
Work Done-Bad Practice to
Advocate, Says Expert.

CBy o. o. CHURCHILL, Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station,
The practice of subsoiling Is receiv-
ing a good many notices in the press
at this time. It is advocated par
ticularly on tight soils and under
drought conditions.
A good many of the stations in diff.
ferent parts Of the United States have
conducted many experiments to deter
mine the benefit derived from this
practice Very seldom, II ever, does
the increase in yield pay for the
work done, and we, therefore, advise
against subsoiling under most condi-
tons. In some cases subsoiling may
even be harmful.
We have been unable to find any rec
ords indicating that subsoiling will
pay. 1t seems to US. therefore, to be
a bad practice to advocate, even II
in theory it does sound we'll.
Subsoiling Is usually performed by
an implement made of straight blade
with shoe on the bottom. This i'm
plement Is run In the bottom Of the
furrow and follows Immediately after
an ordinary pillow. It does not turn
the soil, but merely loosens. it. It
takes as much power to pull the
subsoil pillow as 1t does an ordinary
pillow.

OLD STYLES IN PARASOLS
Quaint Fashions of Many Years Ago
Seem to Have Returned Again
to Favor.

The quaint styles of parasols used
from 1920 to 1880 have again appeared
Shirrings, puffings. pipings, cordings
and knife-plaitings are used in vari-
ETY. OF ways. TO emphasize ribs, to out
line cores and to form borders. Many
odd shapes and rich color combina-
tons are seen. Plain, severe styles,
the most prominent being the sand
tones. are seen only with tailored
dresses There is a tendency to COM
bine materials. In dressy. fancy mod
els the sand tones are combined with
bright colors. For instance, in one
model of brilliant red there is a bor-
der and a piping between the shirred
cores, in rich sand color verging on
gold.
A smart parasol developed in con-
trasting colors has a row of shirring
between the cores, producing q leaf
like effect. A very pretty parasol has

used alone in tailored designs. and in
combination with the new reds and
blues in elaborate designs.
Many striking shapes are seen.
Among these is one with wide cores
Of richly colored material and narrow
portions in stripes or checks. A clus-
ter of shirring appears at the edge.
OF special interest is the return OF
fiat japanese and Chinese effects. both
plain and richly embroidered. Japanese
prints are in both silk and cotton.
Many Japanese designs have dark Dor.
ders. with here and there a delicate
bit of hand embroidery in gold. Some
times odd-looking velvet birds in or
ange and blue tones are appliqued
over the inside surface of the parasol.
