The butter fat taken out by the separator has much less food val ue than tho skimmllk. The latter is what builds up bono nnd muscle. It is almost a perfectly balanced food, while the fat serves only to make heat and other fat in the animal consuming it. In 100 pounds of skimmllk there are eighty-seven pounds of water, four pounds of fat, five pounds of milk sug nr, three and three-tenth pounds of casein nnd albumen nnd seven-tenths of a pound of mineral matter of salts. This makes thirteen pounds of solids to every 100 pounds of milk, nnd they are of tho greatest nutritive value. Care of Pigs. Young pigs should have the best of care and get to eating nicely while on the mother. They should not be wean ed until they nre nine weeks old If good results are obtained. Most of the farmers do not feed their young pigs often enough, but will give tliem too much at one time. They should get their feed eight or nine times a clay, and only a little at a time If good and quick growth is obtained. Care of Poultry In Winter. Tho care of the poultry during win ter is no small matter, although' it is composed of a multitude of small mat ters which contribute each their part toward a profitable winter's work. The feeding of green food, such as mangels, cabbages, sugar beets, etc., is one of the most valuable aids In keep ing up the health and productiveness of the flocks during the cold months. Improving Flock Through Ram. The best way to improve your flock of sheep is to secure a good ram and place him at the head of your flock. A few extra dollars spent In this direc tion will soon run Into the hundreds where a good sized flock Is kept. Good breeding in all lines on the farm Is the only kind that pays, and, besides, there is a lot of satisfaction in having and feeding the best. SELECTING A BOAR TO HEAD THE HERD. A Sire of Pure Breeding Es sential to Good Results. Select the boar for the work he has to do In your herd. If the sows are of tho fine boned type the boar should bo more rangy nnd of larger bone, not only to Increase the size of the pigs, but to prevent actual deterioration. If the sows are big and rangy the boar may be more compact. As tho boar gives half the blood to every lit ter and the sow can only influence her own brood, It Is vitally important that the boar bo a good individual and able to reproduce his kind. Many herd boars are bought while young, as the shipping charges are heavy. When tills is done the pig should be selected for his vitality, his masculine character, his heart girth and his breadth between the eyes. Moreover, he must be puro bred, no matter wiat the quality of the sows. A grade boar may sire good pigs, but these pigs will have inherited his taint of blood, and deterioration and not im provement is sure to result. Not all registered boars are good animals or good sires, and no breeder should sell an Inferior animnl even if he is eligi ble to record. Pure bred animals, if of good quality, are the only ones to use for profitable results, as they sup ply the only means of Improvement in breeding operations. Feeding has' much to do with getting results, but there must bo something to feed, nnd this can only come through good blood, Generally speaking, a young boar mat ed with an aged sow will produce ear lier maturing pigs than will an aged boar mated with a young sow, and in this may be found tho best argument for keeping a sow as long as she will breed satisfactorily. Crying For Milk. Placing milk in unclean vessels Is one great source of Infection. Bits of old, spoiled milk left In senms and cracks of enns carry bacteria enough to soon spoil tho whole contents. To leave the can open or exposed to the air is another common way of Intro ducing bacteria or germs. Bacterlu also multiply rapidly in warm milk; hence the necessity of a low temper ature. The cooler milk is kept tho longer It stays sweet. It should be kept cool up to tho time of using. Fighting Invasion of Lice., When a herd of hogs is found to be Infested with lice nil bedding should be burned and loose floors and partitions fa tho hoehouso torn out and burned. The quarters should then be thorough ly disinfected by spraying with good solutions. Fewer Doqs and More Sheep. The sheep that both feeds and clothes us, besides adding tremendous ly to the fertility of the land, la bound to be one of the biggest economical agricultural factors. Let us hare fewer dogs and more sheep. INDOOR BASEBALL REGAINING FAVOR Game Almost Same as Played Outdoors Has Aroused Fans. LEAGUE MAY BE FORMED. Promoters Plan to Place Clubs In Sev eral Big Cities Big Major League Ball Tossers Have Taken Up Game. Waddell Establishes Strikeout Record. While winter holds sway In many cities and tho air is tinged With a Jack Frostlcan twang, making tho outdoor game Impossible, tho game of indoor baseball hns been so perfected tlint, minus the grass, the fence nds. nnd the bleachers, it is one and tho same thing. Interest in this perfectly line game is picking up In nearly every big city, nnd every one who has seen it played is as enthusiastic about It as they are about the real thing. Iu fact, tho game has become so popular that the pro moters in several large cities are about to form a big circuit, with many of the major league stars as players. In New York Andy Conkley, formerly star pitcher of the Chicago Nationals, Is one of the most active promoters of the game, nnd he predicts a great future for the game. Conkley says that he in tends to do all In his power to organ ize the circuit. Among the major league stars who have taken up the indoor game are Hans Wagner, Tommy Loach, Chris ty Mathewson, Heinle Zimmerman, George Browne, Itube Waddell, George Wlltse, Sherwood Magee and a num ber of others. These men are pleased with the game and believe it a spleu did way to condition themselves for the coming season. In the different cities where these players have ap peared the games have been largely attended and the fans are enthusiastic. Recently in Rochester, N. Y., Rube Waddell established a new strikeout record. In a battle against John Gan zel's team he fanned twenty-five men in nine innings. Indoor baseball of today is not the game witnessed several years ago, where a big soft ball was used and a sawed off broom handle was brought into play for a bat and whore tho run ner was hit with the ball to be retired Instead of throwing the sphere to the baseman not like that at nil. All the rules and all the plays which have made baseball the national pas time of this country nnd nre forcing it into all lands where a real sport is sought are in vogue, with but one mod ification when n batter Is hit by a pitched ball he cannot take his base. A ball an Inch larger In circumference than the outdoor ball Is used, and it is but little softer. Regulation outdoor hats are used, and the diamond is just as largo as that demanded on the big circuits. Ninety feet base lines are marked off. The ball can be curved not only a little bit, but wide shoots and bends are put on tho ball, and tho catcher necessarily must use the chest pro tector, the mnsk and the big mitt. Thn fielders wear gloves. MADDEN LEANS TO TROTTERS Noted Thoroughbred Horse Owner Branching Out as Breeder of Trotters. That John E. Madden is determined to give his young stallion Slliko, win ner of the Kentucky Futurity in 1900 and later a champion In Europe, tak ing a record In that country of 2:0SV4, every chance to make good in the stud was shown recently when the master of Hamburg Place leased the entire band of brood mares belonging to the HIckorywood stud of W. L. Spears in Lexington, Ky., for the purpose of mating them to the young son of Moko and Silicon. The mares secured by Mndden are some of the best in the country. Intercollegiate Soccer Season On. Tho eastern Intercollegiate soccer sea son is on. The elevens in the league nre Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, naverford and Pennsylvania. Tho series will end early In tho spring. WINTER BASEBALL CHAT The Japs are coming. Tho ICioto university is booking games with American college teams. Not a day passes that some fan doesn't break into print with a "new idea." A million suggestions to Im prove the game are being printed and reprinted. For tho first time last season Wal ter Johnson, tho Washington pitcher, won more than half his games. His record was twenty-five won and sev enteen lost. Dan Howley, a former catcher of Indianapolis, plans to take two teams to Ireland next fall. Hub Hart aud Jack Heydon have already signed to go with Howley. When will the American association muster up cournge to place a third major league club In Chicago? The In stant the organization invades major league territory war will follow. nans Lobert is one player who rare ly strikes out. He fanned but nine times In ninety games last year. Wil lie Kecler in his prime had a much better eye than this. In one season, as a Highlander, Kceler played In erery Cm but two, yet never once whiffed. DANIELS' RETlHEt "Human Fish" Says Ho Will V.rl Member of Next Olymplo Tcutn. The competitive Held Is soon M m O. M. Daniels, tho champion swim! :i of the Now York Athletic club. A.i . this time It is no Idle rumor. Tin great swimmer himself vouchsafed tlii information before the race for tliv 220 yard metropolitan title recenti;,. nnd ho added that he would not In- n member of the American Olytnph team In 1012. The news comes n a sad blow, for If over an athlete wn qualified to represent his country nut': to hold its honor In nn lntornatlonn' contest Daniels Is tho man. Possessed of sprinting speed the like of which the world hns never known, able always to do a little better than his best when tho occasion required nnd blessed with nerve nnd grit, he has been the Ideal of the successful competitor and one upon whom one could nlwnys rely. His loss will be irreparable, for, though other nnd younger men are fast developing. It will be hard, If not impossible, to find CHARLES M. DANIELS, WHO Witt. QUlt COMPETITIVE FIELD. another swimmer able to give his wasl to all comers at any distance fror fifty yards to one mile. And there is smnll hope of pcrsuad Itig tile champion to change his mind. Growing business interests and tho care of a family take up so much of his time that it Is impossible for him to train properly, and ho wisely con tends that It is no use trying to do anything unless one can do it In the right way. For the race which he! won by a scant margin from James Rellly In New York recently ho had absolutely no preparation, and he realizes that the day has passed when he can expect to beat his rivals without training. Newcomers are improving so rapidly that even he must be at his best to win, nnd one must commend his de cision In retiring at the zenith of his career, much as nil will regret his loss.

Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars In purses will be offered by the new The reason for formiug the new cir cuit is because of the fight betwceti Lexington and Columbus In regard to tho dates awarded by the grand circuit stewards at their annual meeting. The dates given Columbus dovetail ed into those claimed by Lexington, and when the latter refused to change or become a member of tho grand cir cuit the Columbus association decided to declare war on the pareni body.

With few exceptions there Is a mark, ed equality between tho length of the necks nnd of ihc legs of both birds nnd quadrupeds, nnd whether they be long or short Is determined chiefly by the place where the animal must go for Its food. This is especially noticeable in beasts that feed constantly upon grass, In which case tho neck has just a slight advantage in that It cannot hang perpendicularly down. Croco diles, Hznrds and fish have practically no necks. ' Fowls that feed hi tho water also offer an example of this correspondence between the members, with tho exception of swans nud geese and some Indian birds, which gather their food from the bottom of pools and must hnvo long necks for that pur pose, while the short logs make it more convenient for them to swim.
