ELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Value of SkimmilL
The popular Impression is that Hl:!m
mllk is of little vnlue. This is u grcAt
mistake. 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

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

The competitive Held Is soon M m
O. M. Daniels, tho champion swim! :i

Possessed of sprinting speed the like
of which the world hns never known,

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.

Necks and Legs of Animals.
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.
