Sunday afternoon tho liland hall tea in came, down tor a game with the Rock Island Grays. It was one of the cleanest and most interesting gamut) Beeu here in a long time despite the one sided score of 8 to 1 in favor of Owensville. For the llrst 1 innings llouser, the Bland pitcher had the Grays at his mercy, making them pop up files and hit dinky little rollers. Not a hit was made oiY him till tin- fifth when the Owensville boys got to him and chased him from the mound. Peto Gray then took his place but Owensville was not to bo denied, closing this inning with 5 runs and gathering 2 more in the 7th und t in the Mil. Owens, the lirst man up for Bland in the 1st inning, hit the first ball pitched for a single and ; his teammates managed to get : him around. This was all for Bland, however, for the next H innings netted them h row of goose eggs. Clarence Tappmeyer held tliein safe all the way. His team mates gave him excellent' support, making but 2 errors, neither one of which was costly. Brashear, the catcher, was the busy boy, getting I times at bat, 2 hits, 2 runs, 8 putouts, .'J assists and no errors. The umpires, John Augell and Fred Seba, were very fair in their decisions, giving complete satisfaction to both sides. Russell Bell pulled a laughable stunt by making a clean steal of third by a great slide with the baso occupied. The Bland boys lost their heads and failed to touch either runner but Bell went out of his own accord, being fully convinced that he had pulled oil a "bone." It's alright, Hussell, such things have even been known in the big leagues. x . Jlepagcr Hays has u game scheduled with Bello or Sunday on our homo grounds as soon as No. 21 gets here.

The amount of cream sold by Missouri farmers has diminished about one-third during the lust three weeks. This decrease is largely due to the recent severe drouth that has dried up tho pastures. Only those cows that have received some feed besides pasture grass have kept up their usual June milk ilow. The farmer who allows his cows to hustle for them selves on the parched pastures is making a mistake. Not only is it hard on the pastures but It is false economy to allow the cows to drop oil in milk yield in order to save a few dollars on the feed bill. The grass, especially tho bluegrass, must get its now growth from tho roots, and If it is to make the best growth possible and produce the largest amount of feed it must be allowed to get a fair start. Orass grows much more rapidly after it is up u couple of inches than when it is closely cropped. By observing this point favorable weather conditions will result in good late pastures. In order to take advantage of these good late pastures and rirprTnnrby the higher price of butter fat which is paid in the fall aud winter the milk yield of the cows must be kept up, for if it is allowed to drop olT it can never be regained. Money spent for feed that does not return a proilt now will do so later. What to feed for this purpose will of course depend upon the kind of feed that is at hand. If possible, the foed should be succulent and cheap, if not it will probably be profitable to feed the higher priced dry feeds, as grain and hay, in order to maintain the yield. The green foods which are usually used for this purpose, sorghum aud corn, aro not to bo had this year because the drouth came so very early. But whuro o green feed is available iLalio bo feu. The farmer whoso oat crop is too short to bind can put it to no better purpose than that of using it as a green foed. For tho farmer who is lucky enough or wise enough to havo silage tho problem Is a simple one as silage furuishos the best and cheapest feed for this purpose. This experience should prove a lesson to those farmers who have empty silos and to those who can afford to build Bilos but have neglected to do so A supply of silage at a time like this means dollars saved.
