Draw up the currant and gooseberry
branches and tie them together. This
will prevent the snow from breaking
them down.
Put a small quantity of manure
about shrubs just before snow flies to
prevent the freezing and thawing Of
the roots.
Dig few hills Of rhubarb and let
them freeze outside for few weeks
Then they may be put in the cellar in
soil, sand, or ashes, watered well and
shaded from sunlight, and will give
some much appreciated sauce material
during the winter.
Garden land should be plowed late in
fall and left rough. This will destroy
many insects, allow the water to go
deep into the soil and give chance for
sod or green manure to decay.

Lear EQlCOr:: sISz
You undoubtedly have snow and cold
weather up north now, while the tenn
perature has moderated but slightly
here since the day Of our arrival. The
days are just as warm as they used to
be but we don't mind it quite as much.
The nights are rather different in
nature tho. 1t generally is cold at
night.
No one can help but appreciate the
efforts the government is putting forth
for our comfort. The tents are pro-
vided with matched board floors and
walls. They are also furnished with
stoves. They help considerably in the
evening if person wishes to write
letters or read. They also are great
comfort to crowd around in the morn
ing.
The boys in camp are now doing a
full days work. We have drill periods
from a. m. until IL AS and from 1 80
to 4 40. That leaves us so we have
only enough time at noon and at even
ing to get ready for mess (dinner) and
retreat at $50 p. m. We are given
Wednesday afternoon and Saturday af-
ternoon for athletics exclusively. A
schedule is prepared by which four
foot ball games are to be played on
each of these afternoons.
We had last Wednesday off being
that it was Liberty Day. The morning
was spent in speeches by different Of
fcers in camp and also by a French

Artillery Band furnished music for the
occasion. We were supposed to play
foot ball in the afternoon but could
not on account Of the high wind The
day was set off in the interest Of the
bond sale which has been in progress
in camp. The boys have bought ap-
proximately two million dollars worth
of bonds The exact amount do not
recall, altho heard it tonight at re
treat. The contest Has been an intense
one as the regiment which buys the
most bonds gets twelve hour leave Of
absence. The company which pur-
chases the largest amount of bonds gets
a twelve hour leave and if they happen
W UO 1ANAOOCO III IAAO AOOuAAS AN6AAAASAN
they get thirty-six hour leave. We
were informed as to who led in the
race but have not heard this week.
>:aEshis affords good means of saving
money also, for those who purchase a
bond.
The last few days have been ex-
ceedingly windy. Consequently the
dust has been very much on the move.
don't believe at that that it is any
worse than cold mixed with snow. The
wind makes the heat less intensive so
is help.
Will have to close as must mail
this in order that it can be sent into
the division headquarters. All matter
which is intended for printing must go
thru that office for approval. Will try
and send something every week but
sometimes forget the day Of the week
and so it gets too late.

PARTICIPANTS IN REMARKABLE PITCHING FEATs.

Chicago Nationals pitched hitless ball
for nine innings against Cincinnati.
and Toney on May =. when the latter
made his record. and IL was not until
the tenth period that Kopf broke the
big Cub twirler's string with single.
The major league annals for the
past II years show that the greatest
number of no-hit games pitched in any
one season was in 1903 when there
were four in the American and two in
the National league In 1900. 1905 and
1916 four such feats were recorded.
With virtually four months OF sched-
ule play ahead ii would appear as
though the 1917 corps Of twirlers had
an unusual opportunity to establish
new figures in this direction since
three more no-hit games will surpass
the total made in. 1908.
