Stars Are Being Developed in

Scouts Are Making Arrangements to
Go to Europe in Hope of Securing
Promising Performers Behind

With reports from France that base
ball as played behind the fighting lines
is developing many promising per-
formers who should be ripe for major
league plucking when the game is re-
Sumed on organized lines after we win
the war, a number of scouts attached
to major league clubs are making ar
engagements to go to Europe in the
hope of obtaining stars among the
doughboys.
It is understood that at least three
clubs intend to send representatives
to France early in the spring to seek
talent In the battle zone. Grover
Cleveland Alexander hns notified sew
ernl baseball men In this country that
hundreds of skillful players are being
developed among the soldiers and has
suggested to the Cubs that 1t would be
a good idea TO send scout across to
look over the spring crop.
1t is no secret that baseball leaders
are looking to the players developed
back of the firing lines In France to
solve the player shortage with which
the minor and ma. .iors have been beset
for the last two years, and which, last
season especially, became n detrlment

If the Cubs decide to send n scout
to Europe, 1t is very likely other teams
will do likewise, for the other con.
tenders would not permit the Cubs Ia
steal a march on them. The player

Up to the present the "Y" has pro-

recruited from the foremost athletes
OF earlier generations, and tons of
sporting paraphernalia. The X. of c.,
starting 4 little later, is developing

art to get the backward, the shy nom

good of his body and his morale, tre-

The "l" and X. of c. men seek to en-
list the greatest number of men in
sports rather than TO develop small
team of crack athletes.

OF one unit, show the result. They

UNCLEAN STABLES
MAKES SICK COWS

The most common defect in dairy
stables is a lack of cleanliness; cob
webs on the ceiling and manure on
the walls are too common IN some
places. The dairyman must not allow
cobwebs, dust or dirt to Accumulate II
he expects to produce the highest
ragde of milk. With a tight, smooth
ceiling and smooth walls without
edges this is not difficult. Whitewash
should be freely applied both to the
walls and cealing at least twice a
year ,as it helps to purify the stable
and to keep it light. An abundance OF
light is necessary; four square feet OF
glass for each cow is generally suffl-
cient if the windows are well dlstrib-
uted and not obstructed in any way
If the stable is located with it's length
north and south it receives the puri-
flying benefits of both morning anc

MACAW HOLS1E|NS
FINEST IN VALLEY
Gaze Hundred Sixty High Grade Cows
on Half Section in Alfalfa, Con-
stituting Most Modern Dairy kanch
in the County-Each Cow Produces
Nearly Pound of Butterfat Daily.


Just one illustration as to what
improved breeding does to DAIRY
herd is witnessed on what is known
a. the Steintorf ranch, now under
lease tc C. A. Magaw.
This ranch consists of 320 acres OF
Hand, all in alfalfa. The ranch is
fenced and cross-fenced into 2O-acre
p&rcels. The stand of alfalfa is said
to be one Of the best in the Val
ley.
On this ranch are run about 100
head of Holstein COWS, all Of a supe-
jrior breed, in fact some of the COWS
are registered. This herd of dairy
stock is run through the various fields,
cropping as they go, so that the al
falfa is always of the proper grazing
height. The cows show by their ac-
tions that they are contented, conse-
cuently the amount of milk which
they produce is the maximum guam
tity.
In talking with Mr.. Magaw, he
stated that the average daily produc-
ton of milk was around 45O gallons
and that the earning capacity OF
some of the cows ran from $24 to S36
per month.
4 One of the principal reasons why
this dairy herd is a good producer is
| in the fact that the stock is well
bred. On the ranch are kept two pure
bred Holstein bulls. These animals
were brought into the Valley from
one Of the largest stock farms in the
state, consequently the offshoot of
the sire is we'll represented by Sc
curing mich COW which runs well
TO standard. One of these bulls, a
massive Holstein, weighing around
22OO pounds, certainly has all the
apeparances of being an animal OF
high breed.
On the Magaw ranch, in the ricf
rasturage, are 100 grade cows, most
lv Holsteins, with a few Jerseys, some
pure breds; three pure bred Holsten
bulls and thirty heifers, and a mum
: ber of calves. The herd has beei
carefully selected.
"When | decided to go out of bus
mess, year ago." said the owner
"and sold my cows, fully intende'
to quit, but circumstances compelle
r me to change my mind and, when
g started out to build up my herd again
price was no object; ] wanted quail
e ity in the cows | bought and | got ii
S For example, | paid $3.50 for on
e COW, and for the last five month
that cow has brought me in $36
month. That's why | did not sto
for price"
They are milking $50 cows now an
producing over 500 gallons of mil
, daily and about 1870 pounds of butte,
fat There is, in fact, not mature
cow in the herd that has not mad
. better than pound a day, which
