Good Rase Predicted.

It looks like another good race in the National League for next year. Predictions are precarious, especially In baseball. but 1t Is hard to sec how any less than six clubs in the Ma tional can fail to have some sort Of a loolS.in for the big honors. All the Western clubs should be strengthen cd for the next campaign. The Reds will undoubtedly be in shape to put up harder fight right from the start of the season and Manager Herzog expects to have them in the front line of trenches throughout the hostil.ues. The Cardinals. with a little luck In picking up Q first class shortstop and couple of pitchers, ought to be right in the running The Cubs need some additions. but they are a strong at- tacking team and may be able to stay in the battle longer than they did the past season. The Pirates are gradu- ally finding themselves and will be heard from. There Is quite O chance for one of these teams to cop the lag of 1916 and lt would be Q great thing for the league and for baseball in general if one of the Western clubs could come through There are two Eastern clubs that they will have to beat out to accomplish this feat. The Phillles. present champions of the lea gue and the Bostons arc sure to put up a bitter struggle to keep the flag in the East Provided Alexander is as good as ever-and there is no ap- parent reason why he should not be- the team will have a sterling defense. The Quaker infleld is composed of young man aud Dave Bancroft has been a big find. Tho outheld will bit and. with Bill Killefer back behind the bat, the club is going to be a dangerous proposition and one that has a good chance to repeat. The Boston Braves, too. are an aggressive club that may come back. Last year the absence of Bill James and the sick ness of Johnny Evers cost them just enough victories to land them below the leaders. If James should happen to come back strong and if Evers Is In good condition for the entire year they are going to be a hard club to beat. Not too much can be expected of the other two Eastern teams. The Giants are in a bad way and 1t will take them some time to build up to high state of efficiency again. Mat ty. their great bulwark on the defense, is such no longer. they are shy of good catching material and the rest of the team needs considerable brac- ing up. They do not look like ser ious factor in the race Brooklyn. of course. Is always Brooklyn. A first class club that lacks something to make it a real contender and not to be figured as having the nerve and stability to come through long cam pa'gn successfully.

Boxing followers wanted the Chicago boy to have chance at Freddie's. title, but the tightwaddiness of Welsh's manager. coupled with some stalling on both sides, made the Denver fans sore, and the offer for the fight was withdrawn at New York, according to cablegram advlces to The Empire Monday.
 Out of 31 battles White has knock ed out his opponent in IS fights. which is a better record than any other knockout boy before the public can show. A good many of Whites bouts have been no-decision affairs and went the limit, but in most cases he won the newspaper decision. He has met and defeated all of tho best light.

CARING FOR FOREST TIMBER
Excellent Pasture Afforded Cattle by
Seeding 10 Blue Grass-Manure

CBy L. G. JOHNSON. Laketon. Ky)

CBy L G.. JOHNSON. Laketon, Ky)
Brother farmer, have you a tract of
timber land ranging from 20 to 100
acres? If so, how are you caring for
it?
Let me tell you how I am caring
for mine. I have a small tract of
forest or timbered land of about forty
six acres, and on this I have oak, elm,
gum, poplar. a few black walnut and
honey locust.
I have noticed that when a tree
becomes diseased or begins to decay
if left standing will cause other trees
of the same kind to decay, couse-
quently when a tree becomes diseased
or in a dying condition, remove it
as soon as circumstances will permit
You have no doubt noticed trees
with dead tops. These are dying and
will soon be useless but if, however,
when first noticed the trunk of the
tree is sound and can be manufactured
into lumber or fence posts, in a short
time the value of the tree can in this
way be saved. But if left standing too

and the tree will become unfit for use.
From all my timber land I have
cut off all the small underground and
all the poor timber of a larger growth,
thereby giving all the nourishment
and strength of the soil to the better
trees.
have this land seeded down with
blue grass. This makes an excellent
pasture for cattle and is also a great
help to the trees as the manure from
the cattle helps to enrich the soil, fur
nishing the trees with a more
Strengthening substance.
This not only beauties my timber
land but makes it more valuable and
in way cultivates the timber, giving
it a quicker, faster growth, greater
strength and keeping it in a healthier
condition.

want to send him for repairs and fit

1t should never be allowed to go to
seed. The patch, if seen early enough,
can be dug up, going deep enough to
insure getting all the roots. Shake
them out and burn. This may seem
no small task, but one will find that it
is insignificant when compared to the
labor Of determination, if allowed to go
unmG!ested for several years. The
writer has seen entire fields taken in
ten years t1f2e, when a few days la
Dor at first appearance would have
effectively controlled the pest.
If it has obtained a foothold in any
considerable area, then it Is matter
Of cultivation to exterminate it. The
patch should be allowed to grow until
the first heads appear. 1t should then
be plowed to a depth of six or eight
inches. 1t should be thoroughly pull
verified with the disk and narrowed so
that subsequent cultivation can be
easily accomplished. The reason for
the late blowing is to allow as much
growth above ground as possible at
the time of heading, when the great
est possible amount of strength and
vitality is being forced into the pro-
duction of seed and the root system
may be possibly weakened and more
easily destroyed by the blowing. After
this first pulverization no green blade
of the grass should be allowed to ap-
pear above the surface.
Frequent surface cultivation will at
tain this end. This is why it is essen
.iaI to pu1verize the soil thoroughly
when it is plowed. If the sod is left
much as the plow leaves it, no subse-
quent cultivation can be given and it

KISSING BEE. AT THE PIER
Armenian Embraced Friends Four
Times Over When Taking Leave
of Them at San Francisco.

San Francisco. Sninanoff, an Ar
menian, living in Los Angeles for some
years, sailed for Seattle few days
ago on the Governor, where he is to
join a number of others and take ship
for Vladivostok, from where the party
will proceed to the front.
Sninanoff's friends, practically the
entire local Armenian colony, were on
hand to bid him good-by. Sninanof
kissed all his bewhiskered compatri-
OTIS again and again, boarded the
steamer, and as the grief of parting
overwhelmed him, rushed down the
gangplank and kissed them all again.
