GAME
OF Ball. 5 TO 2.
Ellsworth Team Fails to
Come and. Exhibition
Game is Played.

The Ellsworth ball team failed to
come to Webster City yesterday, owing
to bad roads and the absence of one
of their players. from town. The Ma
tionais split up, however. and filled in
two teams which played very good
exhibition game, Moose and Moose
forming the battery on the losing side
and Britson and Mesecher on the win
ming side. The score was ) to 5.
The weather was ideal and large
crowd was out. The ampithreatre
was well filled and many cars We're
parked about the grounds. The star
play for the losers was made by Glen
Black who cracked out home run
in the fifth INNING with one man on the
bases. Mertz, who also played with
the losers, made good double play
in the ninth. The feature among the
winners was the pitching of Britson,
who gave but six hits and struck out
twelve men. Moose gave five hits and
got twelve. strike-outs. His support,
however, was not as good as that given
Britson. The winners scored one in
the first inning and two each in the
third and fifth. The losers made one
in the first and two in the fifth.

Germ Oil Cake Meal Is Good.

To feed corn oil cake correctly is to
invite success: to feed ii wrongly is
to court ilnd make certain, disappoint-
ment, according to John Nj. Evvard of
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton.
Corn oil cake meal is richer than
corn or barley in protein and fat, es-
pecially. 1t contains more growth
producing substances" than the basal
grains. 1t represents the life" por-
ton of the corn grain.
IN tests which led up to this conelu-
sion, all pigs were on timothy pastures
One group had shelled corn, meat
neal tankagc and block salt, all self
led. Another group had the same eX-
,epi that three pounds of corn oil cake
were mixed with each pound of meat
meal tankage. The last group was the
same as the first group, except for the
fact that another self-fecder conta in
ing corn oil cake meal alone was put
before the pigs.
The results were that the last group
showed % pound daily gain over the.
first group and ID pound greater gain
each day than did the middle group.
This last ration enhanced the rate of
gain from As to 100 pounds from Ia
days for the. first group and 116 days
for the second to only 1O4 days for the
last group.

Grass Needs Good Soil.

4 People often wonder why they cam
not have any grass in the front yard.
Seed has been planted time and time
again, but still the grass cannot be
made to come up.
One of the greatest faults i'll lawns
is that the soil is not Of the right sort.
Too often, after house is finished,
the earth is merely leyeled down, no
attention being paid as to whether the
soil is surface or subsOil. Ii the soil
is subsoil, it will be difficult to get a
stand of grass, due to the fact that
this soil does not contain plant food
for the grass. Surface soil conta ms
foods which are; available for the grass
and which result in better stands.
Il Often there is a hole in the lawn.
Perhaps there Is a depression to be
filed. DO not use the first soil that
comes along, say the soils men ut
Iowa State college. Go to a field that
has been cultivated, one where the
soils fertility has beer proven, and
get the soil from there. If there is a
large hole, common earth can be filled
in until within, twelve inches of the
top, when the richer surface soil should
be. used again. t

Watch Tubercular Hens.

II you have a chicken in the flock
that seems to be getting thin, looking
sort of -down-in-the-mouth and sort of
blue. watch for tuberculosis, accord
ing to the poultry man ut Iowa State
college.
When the, internal organs Of the
bird are the special parts involved,
there is loss of flesh that comes Oh
gradually, leading to marked tlfnness
and paleness OF comb, wattles and the
visible mucous membranes. There is
also a general appearance of anaemia
or weakness Here an examination of
the, blood will show reduction in the
number of red cOrpuscles.
\ AS the disease progresses, the feath-
ers become ruflled, the bird separates
itself from the flock, usually showing
signs of diarrhoea, producing weak
ness almost to the point of prostra-
ton. At first the appetite is good,
even ravenous, but in many cases the
infected bird will refuse food for some
time before death.
