Near one farm house was a build
ing some smaller than the average
school house, which was used for the
customary Russian bath. The small
apartment on entering was used for
disrobing, and in the larger interior
was a stone structure with an iron
kettle in the center and rough stones
of all sizes on a rim of some three
feet wide around. When the water
has been heated and the smoke let
out, the stones are sprinkled and the
steam arising envelopes the forms

GAVE EN- GOOSE EGGS
St. JOhnsbury Shut Out The Ma
tiOnals OF Montreal Twice--Vis-
itors Could Not Find Twirlers.

Fortunately Scorer Stoddard had
Friday and Saturday for the Nation
ais of Montreal called for a goose egg
at the end of each inning. These
Canadian lads put up a classy brand
of baseball but had to bite the dust
before the local speed boys.
In Fridays game Tommy David
son held the visitors to five hits and
no runs and Danny Keefe handed
them the same dose on Saturday. The
locals in the meantime annexed a
half dozen tallies in the curtain
raiser and four in the closing event.
The National outfit is considered
the best in Montreal outside of their
league team, and although defeated,
showed that they knew something
about our national pastime.
Clement was on the mound for the
visitors Friday and except for one in
ming he had nearly all of the local
club swingers guessing, Witt, of
course being excepted. Sullivan
especially proved an easy mark for the
Canadian singer, going to bat four
times and taking the count in three
OIL Ills ITl0S.
Puzzling as Clement was, however,
Davidson was even more of an enig-
ma. Five hits were all he would al
low and only once did more than one
occur in the same inning. 1t was in
the fifth that Bruneau opened with
single, Lamothe and NORM follow
ed suit and the bases were full. Some
neat work followed which relieved
the situation for Davidson. Hoernle
threw to Jack Davidson at second and
Bruneau swallowed the bait, hook
and all He started home but was
out standing up, Davidson to Hoernle.
Tommy famed Bardier and Clement
was out at first and the Nationals
chance to score died with the last
out in this session.
The locals scored in the first.
Moore singled and was sacrificed
along by Hoernle. Jack Davidson
famed but Witt was safe when
Trempe fumbled his grounder. Moore
logged home when the same man
made a wild heave.
In the sixth Witt sent one nearly
to the willows in center and before
the ball was relayed back to civiliza-
ton Witt and his familiar grin were
perched on third. It was an easy
matter for him to score on Shea's
single, but the latter was out at
tempting to steal second.

Mature Corn For EnsiIaue.


1t is an irreparable blunder to fill
the sio with immature corn. In times
past the use of ensiage of this sort
has in many cases Disguised men with
the whole SilO proposition. In the first
place. such enSilage does not have as
great feeding value as that made from
mature corn. and in the second place it
is apt to throw stock completely out
of condition.
Corn contains the highest percentage
of nutrients when it reaches Il point
where it can be said to be mature
This does not mean that it is ready
for cribbing. but it does mean that
the grain must be firm. and in all
probability the lower leaves will be
turning yellow. If the fodder is al
lowed to get too dry the ensilage will
not be sufficiently heavy to pack well.
and that Is why the crop should be
cut after grain has become well dent
ed. but before the upper and middle
leaves are wited. Rather than to
make the mistake of putting up corn
that is immature one had better use
water while filling the silo with fod-
der that has become somewhat dried
out.
We caution those who are putting
up ensilage for the first time especial
ly to guard against the storing of the
crop while 1t is in a condition to de-
velop too large percentage Of organ,
