" WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE

The above records show that the Washington eleven was the strongest if scores were taken into considera- tion. This was proven when Washing ton defeated the Brown eleven by the score of IA to o. The fact that this result gave the west a victory over the east cannot be used as basis of observation. Brown stood compara- lively low in the eastern gridiron hall although they did defeat Yale The intersectional strength cannot be suc- cessfully judged unless the champion ship eastern team meets the champion ship western team or vice versa. At the suggestion of a we'll known breeder of trotting horses, the race and money winners at the Grand Circuit meets during the season of 1916 were tabulated into family groups, so as to show which families are in the fore front and which are retrograding. The get of Peter the Great dominated this wear as it did in 1914 and the influence is that it will continue to do so just as long as his produce retain racing age. Interest in the development of a second generation Is centered on the outcome as to which son or sons, if any, will prove to be as great or even greater than Peter himself. The Bingens and other sub-families of Electioneer combined, won about $2OO0 more in cash prizes on the circuit, but Peters the Great carried premier hon. ors.
 Following are few of the leading strains in the order of races and money prizes won in 1915:

To Close Library

Richmond, Va, January 6.-Rosemary library, founded by Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page in memory of his first wife, who was of the Bruces of "Staunton Hill," is to be closed January 31. Its 5000 volumes which have been offered to the city probably will be trans ferred to John Marshall High school. The library was long a rendezvous of West End society but the rapid spread of the city has left it isolated among shops and boarding houses without pat ronage sufficient for its maintenance.

PAST SEASON WASH
 NOT FAILURE FROM' MONEY STANDPOINT.
Attendance Figures Show Majors Made Big Gains. Minor Leagues Suf-
 fer Heavily

New York, January 6.-A1though the past season is frequently referred to as one of the worst, from financial sional baseball, the attendance figures do not bear out this statement. While a number of the minor leagues suf- fered heavy losses, the majors wealth cred a period of extremely trying con- ditions in satisfactory manner Care- fully compiled, although unofficial at tendance figures for the season of 1915 place the attendance in the National league at 3,2S5,40 and the American league at 2,964,4OO, giving a total of 6,199,S00.
 Going back to 1909, which Is gen. erally conceded to be one of the best years in big league baseball in many seasons, the record books show that the aggregate attendance in the two major leagues was 7,3IS,lO8. A com parison of the figures for the 1909 and 1915 seasons indicates a falling off in attendance of 1,17S,30S At first glance this would apear to be serious de- lection but when the varying condi- tions are taken into consideration the showing is little short of remarkable.
 The Federal league attracted many fans in certain cities where the in dependent league played against or ganized interests while the automobile, motorboat, golf and tennis also opened new fields for fans to an extent never dreamed of six years ago. With re- adjustment of circuits and a general strengthening of all the clubs of the National and American leagues, mak- ing for a closer and more interesting pennant race in both circuits, there ap- pears to be no reason why major league baseball should not surpass all previous attendance figures within the next few years, if prosperous business conditions prevail throughout the na- tion
 The football elevens of Brown uni versity and the Washington State col lege had the honor of opening the 1916 season some nine months ahead of their rivals when they met in their intersectional contest at Pasadena, Cal, on New Years afternoon. Because lit tie more than a month has elapsed since they closed the 1912 season and the fact that the same players en- gagged in the gridiron battle the fol- lowing record of the two elevens is of more than usual interest:

SWINE SHORTAGE IN COUNTY
Reports of Assessors From Various
Townships Indicate. Decrease
of 1900.

The failure of the corn crop in
Stearns county during the last year
has had a depressing effect on the
production of hogs in the various
townships during the past year, says
the St. Cloud Times. This is to be
gained in an examination of the re-
port of the county commissioners, sit
ting as board of equalization.
The figures of the board show that
there are 1927 hogs in the county
this year, as against 21,108 for the
same period last year. This indicates
decrease of almost 1000 hogs dur
ing the past year. The market at this
tine is unusually good for hogs.
The reports of the various township
assessors also indicate that there is
slight increase in the number of
cows in the county. The number this
year shows there are 28,811, as
against 28,040 a year ago. In spite of
the increase in the number of auto
mobiles-there are over $50 of them
in the county, exclusive of the cities
and towns-there is shown that horses
are as much used as they were year
ago.
During the past year there have been
used IA, 1874 horses in the county, out
side of the cities and towns. A year
ago the number was 14,013, which
shows slight increase.

Horse Comfort at Night.

Horses cannot work and still keep
comfortable in hot weather, but there
is no reason why they cannot be made
comfortable nights. If they sweat the
whole night long in hot, stuffy stables,
they are not fit for the hardest work.
Continual sweating reduces vitality
and throws them off feed to such an
extent that they are weak and lifeless
at work.
The common plan of turning the
horse out of the stable after supper is
just the thing needed at this time of
year. After the grass is well hard
ened by the summer heat, night pas
turing does not reduce working capac-
ity. If there is no pasture handy for
the horses, it is better to turn them
in the barn lot with tank full of wa
ter and rack of hay than leave them
confined in a hot stable.
The open night air is cool enough to
stop sweating, and the horse is much
refreshed and invigorated by it. Even
the fact that they get water to drink
at mgnC would pe WoTIH oil Iiie Ilou-
BILE of turning horses out. Most farm
horses are not watered after supper
if they stay in the stable. Any work
ing horse needs water then, especially
in summer. 1t is impossible for a
thirsty horse to gauge the amount of
water his system requires when he
goes to the trough from a hot days
work. After filing up on dry hay and
grain he is thirsty again. In the barn
lot he gets all the water he needs and
in the morning is more apt to feel
fresh and rested and is less liable to
become overheated than horses which
pass uncomfortable nights in the sta

plays out the next day.
When horses are working in hot
weather and sweat suddenly stops, it
is time to examine them closely. If
the horses hair is dry when expected
to be wet and he is painting rapidly, OF
if he staggers when walking and
braces the legs while standing, he
has been pushed ahead too far. It is
best to get such a horse in the shade
as soon as possible and give him a
moderate drink of water. If he does
not recover readily, it is good plan
to wash him all over with water. Ap-
ply cold water or ice to the head and
cold water to the legs. Stimulants
such as a pint of warm coffee, whis-
key or brandy well diluted are otter
beneficial.
AS a rule it is best to plan on tax
ing care of horse in such way as
to prevent overheating rather than tc
plan on treating the horse for it.
At least a pailful of water in the
middle of the forenoon and afternoon
OH hot days will do much to keep a
horse in working order.
1t is better not to put horse that
is weak or cannot stand the heat in
the middle of a four-horse team.

BROOTEN AND SWANVILLE TAX.
EN- INTO CAMP BY SAUK CEN
IRE DURING WEEK
sWANylLLE CONTEST IS CLOSE
LOCALS SHOW SUPERIOR CLASS
BOTH PLAYED BEFORE
LARGE CROWDS.

Jim Segers' Regulars tucked two
more scalps under their girdles last
week. Friday they beat Brooten at
Brooten TO. Sunday they travelled to
Swanville and took the long end OF
the AZ score.
The Swanville game was corker
Sc was the crowd. All Swanville was
there; also large delegations from
Long Prairie, Burtrum, Little Fails
and other surrounding towns. Before
the game, the big assemblage was
kept lively by concert by the Bur-
trum band.
Swanville played great ball but was
outclassed. Roth was right, and had
the Morrison county champions feed
ing out of his hand. Only thirty bats
men faced him and he allowed 'nly
five safeties and no gifts. Nicholson
also pitched good ball but was timed
nicely by Bradley, Weisner and Jacob
son. This trio scored the four runs.
The latter two hit safely three times
each. The Regulars also played er-
rorless ball behind Roth and pulled
several circus stunts.
Sank Centre tailed first in the
fourth. Weisner led off with his sec
ord single and stole for the second
time. Jacobson hit for double and
Weisner crossed the plate. Schwartz
flew out. Hansen famed.
Another was added in the seventh
when Jacobson, first up, hit into the
trees in left field for homer. Swan
vile gave home rooters a chance to
use their lungs in the same inning
when N. Vincent led off with two
Dagger and scored when Larson fol-
lowed with single. Larson was
caught when he tried to make third
on Mielke's fly to Hansen. Roy Nc
Rae famed.
The Regulars put the game on ice
in the eighth. Bradley singled. Wcis-
ner hit safe down the first base line.
Raft threw high and Bradley went to
third. Weisner went to second when
Lee sacrificed. Jacobson followed with
his third hit, a single, scoring Brad
ley and Weisner. Swanville brought
their count up to two in the ninth
when Rod McRae singled, stole second
and scored when N. Vincent sent a
long one out to Hansen. The score:

Overheated Horses

On some farms. horses are never

horses to be permanently injured or

difference is in the care of horses and

for in summer, so as to keep them in

Wild Oats

Wild oats may be killed in one year.
Cover the seed soon, pillow up plants
that terminate in October and expose
the seed that start after this blowing
to the winter freezes-this is the plan
that Andrew Boss of University Farm,
St. Paul, advises for Kidding infested
fields of wild oats. The oats are an
annual crop and much can be done in
one year to destroy them if proper
attention is given. Wild oats are es-
pecially troublesome in grain fields in
Minnesota.
Cultivation in the spring for two
or three weeks before crop of corn
is planted does away with most OF the
wild oats. If clean cultivation is Civ
en- the corn, and care is taken to pre-
vent the formation of seed in stray
plants, the field will be reasonably
clean. Hand roeing or pulling the
oats from infected spots may be ne
cessary.
Care must be taken, of course, adds
Mr.. Boss, not to reinfest the fields ty
sowing grain that contains wild oats
Strawberries
A strawberry bed in good condition
that has fruited but one year may be
moved now and the plants thinned
and cultivated to produce a new bed
for fruiting next year. Cut out all

Ring Worm Cure Easy

Ring worms appear most common
IL in cattle as a round, slightly rails
ed bald patch, being seen especially
about the head and neck of calf OF
yearling. Older cattle, other animals
and humans are subject to the trou-
BILE. 1t is caused by minute vegeta-
BILE parasites which grow under the
skin something like mildew in grape
leaf.
Ring worm can be rather easily cur
ed by giving the spots a good scrub
bling with soft soaf and water, then
treating them once each day with
equal parts of tincture of iodine and
glacial acetic acid. The treatment
may be repeated for several days as
appears necessary.
