FARMERS CAN BUILD
Z . THEIR own slLls
Homemade Structure Recommended
as Good and Cheap =. al..n. Is +
:. - Help Reduce Feed Bills.

The silo was never sos valuable to
the farmer as it is now, in furnishing
one of the best means of reducing
feed bills. It can be made on the
farm with little trouble, of either
wood or concrete, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which will furnish plans and specjf-
cations without cost. Where there
is no silo, or when another is needed,
the department recommends the
building and filling of one before
frost comes.
Among the advantages claimed for
the silo, particularly at this time
when the high price of grain threa-
tens the very existence of the dairy
industry, is that less grain may be
fed without reducing milk produc-
tion, provided the dairyman feeds
more silage and legume hay. It is
pointed out that the building of silos
at this time is like the building of.
ships or Notifications; the silo will
help to win the war because it means
the saving of grain. Less grain is
available for the feeding of cattle,
since it is needed for human food and
must be conserved for that need.
Yet milk production must be main
tanned, and this can be done by sup
plementing shortened grain ration
with silage.
The silo offers the best way of pre-
serving the mature corn crop, 40 per
cent of the food value of which is in
the stalks and leaves. 1t also raves
the crop which, for any reason, must
be harvested before it is mature.
When the farmer harvests only the
ears of corn he loses nearly half the
value of the crop; when he puts it
into the silo the loss is very small.
When drought, frost or insects t.lrea-
ten field of corn before it is ripe
the entire crop may be lost unless
the farmer has a silo ready in which
to preserve it. <-~>z*s' :; :;*,=.5-
Just as fruit and green vegetables
are canned to supply succulence to
the family during the winter, the ST.
10 supplies succulence to the cow,
and succulence adds to the milk flow.
The abundant milk flow obtained
from June pasture is, to large ex-
tent, due to the juices of the grass;
the silo provides a similar juiciness
during winter, when pasture is not
available. 1t promotes the health of
dairy cattle by providing the coarse
feed to which the digestive system
OF the COW is accustomeds Cows like
silage, and no other feed combines
so we'll with dry hay and grain to
produce milk at little cost.
The four types of silos recommend
ed for home construction are the
concrete, the stave, the modified
Wisconsin, and the wooden-hoop type
all of which preserve silage equally
we'll. The concret silo has the advan-
tage in permanence and stability, but
has higher initial cost. The stave
silo is cheaply, easily, and quickly
and there are more of
them in the United States than of
any other type. The modified Wis
consin is made of boards nailed la
terally on the inside of studding

SENIORS ANNUAL REUNION IN JANUARY

The Seniors Golf Association at a special meeting held at the office of Darwin F. Kingsley. 348 Broadway, yesterday, voted to hold the annual reunion and dinner some time in January. It was less than a year ago. January 29 being the date, that the Seniors association was formed at Delmonico's, and in the constitu- ton adopted at the time provision was made for the annual meeting to be held coincident with the Seniors tournament at Apawamfs. This de- cision to hold the reunion and din- ner probably means that the associa- ton will make these gatherings an- nual affairs.
 At the reunion an amendment will probably be made to the constitution providing for the extension of mem bers to 500, so as to accommodate a large and constantly increasing wait ing list The association member ship limit now is 500. When the or ganization was formed there were those who neglected to take advan- tage of the opportunity to Join, and since then they have regretted their tardiness. The officials feel, how ever, that even with the increase 1t will be possible to handle the field al the next tournament without serious inconvenience.

Dr. Sharpe Explains
 Cornell's s Defeats

Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 14.-This was another easy day for the Cornell vaS< sity team, the regulars running through a half hour signal drill while the scrubs and freshmen battIed. The coaches hope that good rest will shape up the team for the Fordham game On Saturday.
 In @ statement on the Cornell foot ball situation today Dr. Al Sharpe said that there is no team playing today that is making a good record that has not either veteran or experienced ma teria1 around which to build. Can you imagine" he said. Harvard Princeton or Yale producing team this year that could compare with their teams of former years? Well, the only difference between those teams and Cornell is that Cornell is playing~and they are not.
 ''It would be very easy to avoid such scores as AZ to 0 by simply not playing, but if the value of inter collegiate athletics is what the United States government and what our coun- cil thinks it is Cornell will continue to build men for future service regardless of scores. It is not a question of win ming as much as being trained to play the game as if you were winning."

M'COY MEETS O'DOWD IN
 LAST FRAWLEY LAW BOUT
Middleweight Champion, Who Has Managed to Hold on
 to Title for Three Years, Despite Many Defeats, Will Risk Title

New York, Nov. 1.-The F'rawley boxing law, which has enjoyed six prosperous years, will quietly pass out of existence when the old town clock strikes 12 tonight. But before the followers of the good old pugilis- tic game lay their pet sport at rest, a new middleweight champion may be crowned. For tonight is the night that Albertus Mccoy, holder of the title, clashes with pubnacious Mike O'Dowd, from St. Paul, at the Cler- mont Sporting club in Brooklyn.
 Everybody-the butcher, the baker and cand1estick maker-will be in the Rink tonight to pay their last spects to legalized boxing in the greatest state in the Union. The ad7 vance sale is exceptionally large ac- cording to Matchmaker Sidney Burns, and no doubt the famous arena will be damned to it's capacity when the two gladiators enter the ring. So as to have something to remember the last fight under the present law, moving pictures will be taken of the battle.
 Both Mccoy and O'Dowd finished their training yesterday and look fit and ready for a strenuous skirmisk. O'Dowd. although a native of St.

BEATING THE LAW.

What an idiotic move Gov. Whit man and the legislature of New York have made with regard to boxing, the F'rawley law, etc.! Until tonight at 12 o'clock, the game is carried on un- der supervision of the state, bonds are deposited by clubs holding bouts and the state reaps a. big harvest in taxes on the exhibitions. Its boxing com mission has direct control over all clubs, which means promoters, with authority to remove any interruptions scalpers of the public.
 Tomorrow 1t is against the law for these same clubs to operate under the same method. It is against the law to stage a fight, as in the past, and yet 1t is not against the law for a fight to be staged. Only now the au- dience will have to obtain mem bership to some 'tclub," which is no club in anything other than name.
 If boxing is bad for the state of New York. why not prohibit it alto gether? And if New York permits boxing in any form, why teach the promoters and the public in general to connive at an indirect violation of the law?
 To our untutored mind Gov. Whit man has made a grave mistake, and will acknowledge it at the next ses- sion of the legislature, when boxing may again be 1egalized.

HOWISON IMPROVES:
 GAINS ON CUE RIVAL

New York, Nov. 14.-Leonard How ison played better billiards, or mora profitable billiards, last night in his 2,0OO point match at 1S-2 with Welker Cochran in the formers billiard room. He made 4s5 points to Gochran's 400 in the second nights play. He gained 95 points, and Is now 30 behind, the totals for two nights being: Cochran, 800; Howison, 720.
 Last night they stayed at 1t close to the hour at which graveyards yawrI- I-alao spectators. Cochran wasn't nearly up to the speed which he showed in the first block and varied from spurts to barren spells. He went out with bursts of snappy billiards however, pohng the balls brisziy for runs of 47 and 25 when 1t looked as if How1son would catch him.
 Howison on various occasions played the best sort of billiards, and he gath cred 10s in one sequence by patience even manipulation and some capital execution which tided him over bad spots in the way of position breaks. He had @ speed of consistent cueing which netted him successive runs of ios, 5s, se. IA and s2.

Red Cross
 Victor in Race Meet
Obtains $1O,OOO in Liberty Bonds, Hourless', Share of Stake Donated by August Belmont = Bally Takes Final Pimlico Handicap. Event.

Pimlico, Md, Nov. 14-It was an nounced here yesterday that August Belmont has sent to the publicity committee of the Liberty Loan Com mittee for Maryland his check for $10,O00, which he desires to have in- vested in second Liberty Loan bonds through the Maryland committee These bonds will be presented by Belmont to the American Red Cross They represent the purse won by Hourless in the match race with Omar Khayyam at the Laurel meet recently.
 Just previous to the race, when it was announced that in the event that Hourless won, the winnings would be donated by Belmont to the Red Cross, the Maryland Liberty Loan Publicity Committee wired to him asking if he would not buy Liberty bonds and present them to the Red Cross.
 The feature of the getaway day racing card was the Serial Handicap for three-year- -olds and up in which seven horses faCed the starter. Bally. with Robinson up. carried off the honors. Bally, carrying 100 pounds, took the lead soon after the quarter mile post was passed, and although hard pressed by Star Gazer, with Buxton up, led for the remainder of the distance. Hank O'Day, another Macomber entry, carrying top weight of IA pounds. finished close behind his stable mate for third place. Chic. let, which carried the same weight as Hank O'Day and was one of the fa-, vorites, was among the also rans.
 In the Consolation two and a haN mile steeplechase. the second race on the program, High Flyer, an outsider, surprised the sure thing betters by winning. He paid his packers a handsome sum, the winning price be- ing $93.90. Obolus, winner of the third event, selling race, also paid his supporters well, bringing $42.8O.
 Owing to an error in the petition to the state legislature requesting the Bowie meet, the racing which was scheduled to take place today has. been postponed for several days. Tn the meantime there will be no racing in this statel until then.

Paul, is a great favorite across the bridge and will have host of admir- CTS at the ring side. And many of them anticipate a knockout victory for the St. Paul lad. O'Dowd has cleaned up the welterweight division and in his last three fights at the Rink has scored quick knockouts.
 Ever since Mccoy won the title by dropping George Chip with left hook in the first round of a local bout several years ago, he has been whipped time and again, but none of his conquerors has been able to knock him off his feet for 10 seconds He fought Chip twice after winning the title, and although badly batter ed, was fighting hard at the end of each fight.
 Mccoy surprised the boxing fans last week by beating Montana Dan Sullivan in 12 rounds. Those who saw Mccoy in that battle declare that the champion fought his best fight since winning the title and that he may surprise O'Dowd tonight. Sir Michael, however, is confident that the last bout under the Frawley law is going to end with the knockout of a champion.
 Be this as it may, the boxing game in the Empire State ends tonight.

FELSCH WANTED TO BE A WRESTLER

How mems ambitions do change. It was only few years ago that Happy Felsch, centre fielder of the White Sox, saw a dazzling future ahead of him as. a mat artist. As Happy is not in the habit of doing things by half measures, he was con- tent, in his dreams, with nothing less than the worlds championship, and in those same dreams did things to Frank Gotch that would make that husky Iowa farmer run away and hide his face in a corner But then the baseball bug got into FeEsch's bean. So he tore himself loose from his wrestling ambition. and devoted himself to the diamond past1me. He put as much pep into that as he did into his wrestling dreams, and. as everybody knows, he made good. Nevertheless. Happy can still take on few men and pin them down in jig time. as some of his conn panions have found out to their sur prise.
