The Murphy Outlaws and the Mis souri Flat Tigers crossed hats at the ball grounds on the Smith & McCloud place Sunday In one of the hottest contests that this part of southern Oregon has seen for many a day. It was nobody's game up to the 13th inning, but during that inning the tie was broken and the Tigers car ried off the honors of the day. Her man McFadden handled the pellet for the Tigers with the same vim that he did for the big brush last season and Joe McFadden, formerly of the Ophlr, Alaska, ball team, acted the part of backstop. The McGuffin brothers, late from the east, were the battery for the Outlaws and many times during the course of the game they kept the Tigers guessing. L. W CarBon was umpire, and every one was pleased with the fearless way he handled the game, as all his decisions were fair and just and no time dur ing the game did w hear that awful expression used, "kill the umpire."

Mining blanks at ouMer offl-e Moline Alfalfa ' Renovator ' MOMXK ALFALFA KKXOVATOK AM SKKDKIt ATTACHMENT. To keep an alfalfa field In good condition it must be cultivated at least once each season. The most successful and experienced growers cultivate after each cutting. The latter practice is growing In favor as alfalfa raisers progress in knowledge and become better acquainted with the peculiarities of the plant and the conditions and treatment that produce the best results. I'nlike many grasses the alfalfa plant has no creeping roots. It becomes thicker on the ground by increasing the size of the crown, which means to add more growing stalks or branches to the top of the plant. The crowns grow to such size that the sod becomes very compact, causing the plants to die out in spots, and permitting weeds to gain a foothold in the field. The remedy for this condi tion, as well as a preventive. Is thorough cultivation with some tool that will split the crowns vertically. Formerly disc harrows were used for this purpose, but as alfalfa ground is frequently dry and hard the harrows lacked sufficient penetration to accomplish the de sired result. To overcome this difficulty we use pointed teeth Instead of discs. Thl3 arrangements Is so successful that alfalfa growers adopt it upon Bight. It has proven to be just the tool for the work. TIIK MOLINK ALFALFA KKXOVATOK has greiiter penetration than any similar tool built. This penetra tion Is secured by the peculiar slant given the teeth. By means of the renter lever the gangs can be set at any desired angle. The toothed heads are provided with scrapers to prevent the accumula tion of trash. The frame bars are stiff and hard. Has pipe stan dards that serve as oil tubes. Should It be desired to add more weight, provision has been made for carrying sacks of soil.
