WAS BAXTER VISITOR
FORTY YEARS AGO

]. A. Wilson, capitalist and land
owner of Carthage, Mo-, was here to-
day visiting with John Wingfeld, a
long time friend. It was on Wilson's
land that Wingfeld, then Of Webb
City, worked out one Of the best pay
ing mines in that district. Mr.. Wilson
says he visited Baxter forty years
ago, this being his first visit since. He
remembers well when Baxter was the
end of the railroad and the greatest

UNCERTAIN AS TO SOLDIERS
Major League Players May Not Be
Released in Time to Get Back
for Spring Practice.

There is still much uncertainty
about the prospects for getting back
in time for spring practice all of the
major players now in the military and
naval service. One theory was that
General March intended to discharge
soldier players as soon as might be,
irrespective of the rehabilitation OF
their units. The other theory was
that General March would do no such
thing. He had recommended baseball
so highly as sort of semi-public util-
ity that many thought he would make
exceptions for the athletes in the
army, but that is beginning to be
doubted, and no man can say at pres
ent precisely what material the clubs
will have when they count noses.
1t might be mentioned, by the way,
that the Eighty-ninth division, in
which is the artillery regiment con-
tanning Clarence Mitchell and Chuck
Ward of the Superbas, and Grover
Cleveland Alexander of the Cubs, has
left its former camp on the old battle
line. and has joined the troops adj
vnncing into Germany. AS this army
of occupation and garrison will prob
ably be the one which will be kept
most intact, the prospects are not
bright for its share of ball players be-
ing discharged.

look inferior. And yet, when con-

No wonder Mrs. Gale was disap-

locked if necessary. The rear projec-
ton for the kitchen gives an oppor-
tunity to get an extra window or two.
Also the plan provides for a very
convenient pantry, which also is well
lighted by an extra large window. The
outside arrangement for putting ice
into the ice box is good one. Al
together the plan is very interesting
and very complete.
Provision is made for a good bath
room, splendid big fireplace in the
living room, including all the neces-
sary modern improvements. The in
terror woodwork is designed to use
regular stock patterns of base, mold
ings, and other trim, which will match
the built-in buffet In the dining room
and the fireplace trim in the living
room. The intention Is to carry the
same design through the front part OF
the house, including the vestibule and
bedroom.
The bathroom is intended to be rath-
er severely plain and finished in white
enamel. The kitchen trim, while less
elaborate than the other part of the
house, is also very neat and attractive.

BEST GRAIN FOR DAIRY COWS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many of the more common grains
that are grown upon the farm are
suitable for use in the dairy ration.
Corn is probably the most common
grain grown upon the farm and is well
adapted to be part of the ration of a
dairy COW. Corn is palatable, heavy,
and one of the best and cheapest
sources of the energy or Matchmaking
part of the ration; but, on account of
its low protein content, it should not
form the entire grain ration. In order
TO tighten up this grain the cob is
often ground with the kernel, the re.
sulting meal being called corn-and-cob
meal. This feed is more bulky and
better adapted for mixing with heavy
grains. The corn crop products ana
lyze as follows:
Digestible nutrients-Corn meal:
Protein, SO per cent; carbohydrates
and fat, 1863 per cent. Corn-and-cob
meal: Protein, 81 per cent; carbohy-
drates and fat, u per cent.
Ground oats are slightly laxative
and very we'll adapted for feeding
dairy cattle. Owing to the high mar
ket price of oats, it is usually more
economical to sell them and purchase
other feeds which furnish nutrients at
cheaper price. Digestible nutrients

hydrates and fat, 60.6 per cent.
Ground barley is palatable feed,
and one that can be used to good adj
