Some of the probable members Of
the Twilight baseball league
this season will be: Mccormack
Bros, Stone-Fisher Co, and
the Peoples Store. All these
firms have franchises in the
league and are entitled to a
vote at all meetings. 1t is like
ly that they will all stay in the
league this year. 1t is strictly
a commercial league and the
teams will be greatly strength
ened by new members on their
lineups at the opening of the
1917 season. Many of the man
ayers are eagerly waiting the
opening of the season of the
City-Valley baseball league SO
that they may be able to organ
ize and get an earlier start this
season than last. All games
will be played at Athletic park.

WORK HORSES AND SAVE MEN
Expert Of Missouri College Of AgrI-
culture Outlines Plan to Solve
Labor Problem.

Labor is the limiting factor in crop
production this year. Horses are rela-
lively plentiful in comparison. O. r.
johnson of the department of farm
management of the Missouri College Of
Agriculture suggests that farmers lay
aside one-man and two-horse tools and
use those that require more horses so
that more work per man can be done.
One man with three horses to a 49,
inch breaking pillow will turn over three
acres or less In a day. The same man
with gang pillow consisting Of two
Pinch bottoms will average Az acres
day and will use one more horse.
This means that by increasing the
horse stock one-third. one man can
increase his efficiency In breaking
ground nearly rs per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that man on riding implement will
do more work in a day than the same
man and the same team with nipple
ments that require him to walk. The
use of bigger tools and thorough prep
aration of seed beds will also cut down
the time required for cultivation OF
the corn crop. Cultivation is the op-
Grafton which limits the amount OF
corn one man can grow. II good
seeded is prepared, some time can be
saved in cultivating the crop, and con
sequently more acres can be grown.

Save all the heifer calves and plan
to raise more pigs, lambs, colts, calves
and chickens next year than you did
this year. Do you know the world is
being depleted of its live stock2
Keep your pigs growing. They
should weigh 200 pounds at six months
of age and they are worth SIC hun
bred now. Ten good pigs. are worth
$500.
Give your hogs all the alfalfa or
clover they will eat winter and sum-
mer. Give them skim milk, whey,
some grain, or anything else you have
but be sure to give them all they can
eat.
Keep the calves growing. Give them
some grain, separate from milk, and
all the good hay they can eat. Veal
is now worth 16 cents pound. A
good veal is worth S35.
Feed the lambs well. They are
worth $50 apiece and wool is worth
from 90 cents to 10 cents a pound.
Feed the cows well. Keep them
milking. You may dislike to see them
eat so much, but please give them all
they can eat all the time. The price
of milk, butter and cheese is going
out Of sight. Butterfat may be worth
81 pound before long.
Feed and handle the mares so that
you will save all the colts next spring
Good horses are worth $75 a head
more than they were year ago. A
good horse is worth $500.

COLTS INJURED BY DRIVERS
Or. Mccampell of Kansas State Col
lege Tells How Young Animal
Should BE Treated.

Colts are sometimes injured by In

to do too much when starting to work
them. They seem to think that be-
cause the colt is large he can do as
much as the mature horse.
"Gtve the colt light work." advises
DIR. G. W. McCampell, associate profess
Aor Of animal husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. 'The
colt should be prepared for the sea-
sons work If he is to do his best. Lib
eral grain feeding should begin a few
weeks before the work starts, A three
year-old colt handled In this manner
after a few weeks preparatory work
will be able to do considerable work
but of course he should be given a day

"Caution should be taken not to over
work the colt at first. There is dan.
ger Of sweeney, broken wind, or other
serious trouble which probably would
put the horse out of business for an
entire season."

Islands, formerly the Danish West In
dies, are pure black. The rest of them
are white There are very few mu-

themselves on their low percentage Of
flliteracy. Only about 2 per cent of
the inhabitants are unable to read and
write. In spite of their proximity
there is great difference between the
Virgin Islands and Porto Rico. The
inhabitants of the former are thorough
ly English in their speech and customs,
while those of Porto Rico are Spanish.
The island of st. Thomas Is poor ag-
riculturally. Fishing is the chief oceu-

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

There Are Three Undisputed Manteg-
mas In This Country
Andrea Mantegna, the brilliant mas
ter of the Paduan school (1431-1506)
was distinguished among the Italian
masters of the renaissance by a plas-
tic style which made his figures on
canvas not so much an expression OF
paint as of carved marble or nodded
bronze.
OF all the painters Of his time he
was generally regarded by critics as
being most sensitive to the beauty OF
rounded form as distinct from outline
Mantegna died in Mantua in poverty,
due not to lack of appreciation, but to
his own extravaganza.
The works painted by Mantegna,
apart from his frescoes and the tenn.
pera pictures of the Triumph of Gaze
sar," now hanging in Hampton court,
are not numerous. Authorities seem to
agree that not more than thirty-fve
Of the so called Mantegnas now ex-
tant are to be accepted as authentic.
In America there are only three un-
disputed Mantegnas. One is the "Ad-
grafton Of the Magi," belonging to the

phia; another is the Madonna and

An Astronomical Mirror,

structed by Professor r. W. Wood to

surface Of which is revolving mercury

lions, and It magnifies in proportion to
the speed Of its revolutions. A metal
dish containing mercury and turning
on bearings carries on It's edge series
Of magnets. Encircling, but not touch
ing them, Is an iron ring. By motor
power this ring Is made to revolve
upon bearings separate from those Of
the mercury container, but Its mag
nets, attracting those ON the contain
sr's edge, cause the latter also to re-
volve. Centrifugal force compele the
mercury to form a cOncave surface,

apparatus Is sunk In well fourteen
feet deep and set upon solid founda-
