WHITE SHADES WELLS.

Cincinnati, O., March 21.-Harder punching and a strong rally in the closing rounds earned a shade for Charles White, of Chicago, over Matt Wells, the English lightweight, in a ten round no-decision bout hero last night, according to the sport writers at the ringside. Wells did most of the leading, landing straight lefts and rights to Whites jaw, but the blows lacked power White showed to best advantage in close range fighting and scored heavily at times With body blows.

 SIamS-ROuSCh Joins Giants

San Antonio, Texas, March 21.-rs McGraw's colts, who are the real Giants these days, bombarded three San Antonio pitchers yesterday at- ternoon, and, despite the fact that Larry Doyle and Benny Kauff got into the batting order after quitting tho regulars, the colts landed twenty one hits for a total of twenty nine bases The Bronchos did well, too, getting fourteen hits orr the pitching of Kramer and Stroud, but they never had a chance to Win after the fourthe inning. The score was 13 to '.
 Extreme heat probably accounts for the pitchers being pUmmeled so free ly. The thermometer registered over 90 today here, with no breeze stirring, and the athletes were tired by the end of tho game, which lasted more than three hours. For training pur- poses, however, it was a fine workout.
 The Giants started to slug in the eeccnd inning, and kept it up througbS cut the game but the Bronchos, after tying the score in the second inning, went without another run until the eighth They made three undeserved runs in the first inning, when Sim mons hit long fly to center. Just as l[auff reached for the ball the sun blinded him and he was forced Ao dodge. Simmons thus got triple and tied tho score.
 The Giants canceIed those runs with four in the second inning, and were never in danger thereafter. They hit in every inning except the ninth, and the side scoring thirteen runs had ff- loft ha
 Herbert Hunter, who is one of Nfc- Graw's best prospects, forced Benny kauff to run second to him in hitting today, although Kauff delivered four hits and drew a base on balls. Hunter was at bat six times. He made a triple, a double and two sim gles scored two runs, and batted in two more. Kauff batted in three runs, but made only one hit for extra bases His triple came in the sev- enth, when the Giants knocked Hay ncs out of the box in less than one inning Jim Thorpe had two left handed singles and one right handed.
 Kramer pitched the first five in- nings, allowing ten hts and four runs Stroud worked easily at the finish, as he had a big lead. There were few

 In each batting order, or in most batting orders, there is a cluster of dynamite arranged for the production of runs Sam and Ty, or Ty and Sam, form this run-making cluster for the Tigers. Last season they had but one real rival pair in the big leagues, viz, Cravath and Luderus. But the walkoVer for 1916 will not be so complete
 Rival Batting Pairs.
 Cobb and Crawford should still lead the list for another year, al- though Sam is now 34 years old. But in addition to Cravath and Luderus, two noted sluggers who did so much for the Phillies, there will be further opposition from the two Yankee rlates-Magee and Baker.
 Cobb will outbat Magee, but Baker should outbat Crawford, and you will find the Magee-Baker combination quite near to the redOubtable Tigers, renowned in the Sagas of Swat. Ma zee should bat 300, with Baker around .325, and as the former is also fast and d star on the bases, he should deposit many a precious tally st the plate through his own ability and Bakers deadly eye and swing.

The suggestion of the government
to raise the dog tax from $3.50 to

IMMENSE VALUE OF PASTURE
Acres Is Related by Arkansas
College Of Agriculture.

AS to the value of pasture for live
stock a circular from the extension
department Of the College Of Agricul-
ture of Arkansas says:
"A farmer near Forest City has a
12-acre permanent pasture on which
he pastured from April l, 1915, to Oc-
tober Is. 1915, 30 cows. s horses and
II sows and their pigs. This is one
Of the greatest pasture reports ever
sent to the extension Office of the
University of Arkansas and United
States department Of agriculture at
Little Rock. This statement was veri-
fed by many neighbOrs. The pasture
has Bermuda grass for its base, with
bur clover, white clover, hop clover
and lespedeza, thus giving pasture for
practically the whole year. Stock had
been kept on this particular pasture
every day for seven years. The farmer
stated in a public meeting recently
that these II acres had produced more
money for him than any 80 acres on
his farm.

CUTTING CROPS FOR SILAGE
Most Plants Reach Full Feeding Value
at or Near Maturity, Accord
ina to an Expert.

Silage crops should not be cut until
they are well toward maturity. Most
crops reach their full feeding value at
or near maturity. To make silage OF
them before this stage Is wasteful.
The silage will be low In feeding
value; 1t is usually sour and may spoil.
According to John NJ. Scott, ami
NAL industrialist to the University
Of Florida experiment station. more
poor silage is made from immature
than from over-ripe crops.
Corn should never be cut when the
ear is forming. because most Of the
food Is made after that stage. 1t
should be cut when the grain Is In
the hard dough stage and beginning
to dent, or when the outside shucks
on the ears are drying and turning
brown. Sorghum makes the best sill
age when the seeds are in the
hard dough stage. Some Of the lower
leaves may be dry at this time but
water can be added II necessary.
A crop is never too dry to be put
into the silo as long as there are
some green blades on the stalks. The
farmer is more apt to cut his silage
crop too soon than too late. If 1t is
too dry to make good silage. water
may be added at the cutting box or at
the fan.

KEEPING RECORDS OF cows
Not Difficult Matter to Keep Track
Of MiIk-Test for Per Cent
Of Butterfat.

Keeping track of how well the cows
are doing-Or how poorly-is not such
a difficult matter. If the milk is
weighed up once month, taking both
millings for one day from each COW,
and then that weight is multiplied by
the number Of days In the month, the
total weight of milk for the month
produced by each COW is found. This
will be close to the actual production.
BY testing a sample of the milk, the
percent Of butterfat can be learned.
From these figures can be computed
the amount Of butterfat for the month

The greatest waste of southern soil
and soil fertility is not through the
crops sold from the farm or from our
one-crop system of cotton farming. Our
loss of soil fertility Is very much great
er because Of the bare condition of our
soils during the winter when the rain
fall is heavy and through the teaching
out of plant foods and the washing
away Of the finest and best part of our
lands.
One Greatest Need.
Our one greatest need Is winter
legume cover crops, or to keep thesland
busy; our greatest agricultural asset is
the fact that our climate enables us
to grow a cover crop that will gather
nitrogen from the air and increase the
fertility of our soils between the time
our money or regular summer feed
crop is harvested and the time for
planting this crop the following spring.
Our greatest need would thus be met
by the use of our greatest. agricultural
