HITS WESTERN LEAGUE HARD
Sunday Lid on Amusements in Iowa Is
Serious Blow to Baseball in
Hawkeye State.

The clamping down of the lid on all
amusements in Iowa on Sunday
through the state "blue laws" may
prove serious to the Western league,
writes Judge in Omaha Bee. Sunday
is the big day in every city in the
league. 1t is, in fact, about the only
day in the week that large crowds turn
out to witness the diamond clashes in
the Zehrung loop and the existence
of every club in the league practically
depends upon it's Sunday attendance.
Each club, for instance, draws ten Sum
day dates at home. An average attend
ance probably would be 5000 a game
unless some city is so unfortunate as
to lose several Sundays through bad
weather, in which case the average
would be lower. This means 10000
persons and the total attendance of all
other games during the year will not
greatly exceed this number, if at all.
If Sioux City and Des Moines are pre-
vented from playing Sunday ball, neith-
err club is likely to last long. They
can't afford to lose 10000 admissions.
The very existence of the Western
league is unquestionably likely to be
seriously unless these
clubs are allowed to play on Sunday.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his

ROUGHNESS FOR DAIRY cow
Animal Is Not Content Unless Stomach
Is FuII-Feed Grain According to
Milk Yield.

Roughness is the first important con.
sideration. A COW is not contented
unless her stomach Is full. She should
always have all the roughness that
she will clean up and then the amount
of grain she receives should be regu-
lated by the amount Of milk pro-
duced.
A dry COW in good condition should
be fed roughness only, and does not
need any grain. In feeding grain to
milk producing cows, the following rule
may be used, and is found to work fair
Iy well: Feed one pound Of grain for
each three pounds or pints Of milk pro-
duced,

that will run off for the various type!
the difference In the rates of percola
ton for clay and sandy soils is very
marked, the latter permitting much
higher rate than the former. This is
due to the fineness of the particles and
the compact structure of the clay soils
as compared with the open, porous
structure and coarse particles of the
sandy soils. The open structure of q
soil facilitates the entrance and rapid
circulation of both air and water, since
resistance to flow varies inversely as
the size Of the individual pore spaces
After a long dry period the pores in
the upper layers of a soil become filled
with air which, until it is expelled,
tends to retard the entrance of soil wa
ter. A deeply plowed soil will absorb
a greater percentage of rainfall than
one where shallow blowing is prac-
ticed, and the greater the amount of
humus in a soil the greater will be its
capacity to absorb water. The rate
of absorption after the top soil is sat
urated with water depends upon the
permeability of the subsoil. A close,
impervious subsoil checks the rate of
percolation and thereby increases the
run-off at the surface.
The water capacity of the top foot
of farm land in good filth has been
stated to be or 5 inches; thus a soil II
inches deep could absorb this amount
of rainfall provided the rain is sup
piled to the surface at the same rate
at which the soil is capable of receiv-
ing it. If the former rate is greater
than the latter, the excess water runs
off over the land surface with We
locity depending upon the slope. The
sleeper the slope the more rapid the
and correspondence less would
be the time allowed for the absorption
of water by the soil. Hence, the steep
er the slope the greater will be the per-
centage Of the rainfall flowing off.
Reduce Height of Terrace.
Were it not for the fact that the
terraces would need to be placed very
close together on steep slopes, thus
necessitating a greater number Of ter
races, it would be well to reduce the
height of the terrace as the slope of
the land increases. This would OBJ
viate the difficulty encountered in the
of large terrace embank-
nents on steep slopes.
In the field Investigations many ter
races with closed ends were found.
Some followed contours completely
around a knoll or hilltop, forming a
closed circuit with no outlet. But most
# the level terraces examined had out

The many disastrous attempts II
cultivate the narrow-base, level-ridgt
terrace on all types of soil have led tt
the development of a terrace with 6
broader base, known as the broad-base
level-ridge terrace. The broad-baSe
embankment of earth provides the
strength necessary to withstand the
and the terrace is built sufficiently
high to hold all run-off water from the
drainage area above the terrace.
Figure 1 represents a cross section
of two adjoining broad-base, level
ridge terraces, with the various dimen-
sions designated by letter. The YER
teal height of the terrace above the
point is represented by h; w is the
width of the base of the terrace, d
the horizontal distance, and the YER
teal distance between terraces. These
dimensions were obtained from sur
veys of eight fields representing the
best practice in the use of this form
of terrace.
Height of Terrace.
From observation of field conditions,
and a study of the data secured, it is
believed that a broad-base, level-ridge
terrace should be not less than IL feet
high and at least 10 feet broad at the
base. Methods of blowing and cultiva-
ton should be adopted which will tend
to increase the base width from year
to year and thus virtually transform
the whole field into a series of ter
races.
Since the stability of a broad-base
level-ridge terrace with closed ends
depends upon its ability to retain the
surface run-off water due to rainfall
over the area between 1t and the next
terrace above, it is apparent that the
reservoir capacity above the terrace
must be sufficient to store this water.
Upon this principle is based the design
Of a system of broad-base, level-ridge
terraces.
From general study of the rainfall
for the United States it is
found that rainfalls exceeding 8 inches
per 48 hours do not occur frequently
in a given locality, and it is believed
that provision for inches of rainfall
In the design of system Of terraces
would give satisfactory results.
To determine the proper vertical |
spacing for a system Of terraces for |
any particular field it is necessary to |
know the average slope of the land
surface and the approximate percent
lge of the rainfall that will percolate
nto the soil. The former can be meas
1red readily by some form of leveling
instrument and the latter can be ascer-
aimed by a knowledge of the physical
the humus content, and the
illage condition of the soil. The sus-
.eptibility of the subsoil to the perco-
alton Of water also is an important
actor to be considered in estimating
he run-off.
Rates of PercoIation.

estimate the percentage of rainfall
