WHY THE HENS poN,r LAY.

1Na
The Farm and Garden says the time is
not far distant when farmers and poultry
breeders will wonder why hens don't
lay. IL they have one breed, then that
particular breed will be blamed and
another one tried, only to find the same
existing conditions of management
Now is the time to make such
ments rs will go far toward insurinp a
liberal supply of fresh eggs during the
winter, when eggs are scarce and high.
The first step toward this is to see that
your poultry house is not only clean and
free from d%ampness, but that it is made
tight-wind and rain proof-and that
proper precautions are observed for ven
%tilation. One Of the very best things To
make the house storm-tight is tarred felt
ing, which is also obnoxious to lice and
mites, though & more substantial outside
covering can be made by first painting
the building thoroughly, and then be
fore the paint dries, putting coarse, close
woven bagging or canvas over the whole,
lacking it well in place. The bagging
can be treated to two or three coats of
good rubber paint and the thing is done.
A warm, comfortable house goes far
toward insuring winter eggs, and when
to this he added, in the start, good,
early hatched and vigorous birds and
plenty of suitable food, there need be no
reason for asking why the hens don't
lay. They naturally will not furnish
as liberal a supply in winter as in sum
mer, but they will furnish none at all if
left to shift for themselves.

SELECTING DAIRY COWS.

Farmers are apt 10 use too little care in
selecting cows for the dairy. Some seem
10 think "A cow is a cow, whether she
will make one hundred or two hundred
pounds of butter in a year. But it costs
Just ms much to keep "A COW that will make
only one hundred pounds as one that will
make twice as much. | would say TO my
brother farmers, says a writer in the
american A9ricuhurist, invest in good
cows, give them plenty to eat, with good
care, and they will doubly repay for tho
lsbor of selecting and keeping.

sAwDUsr As BEDDING FOR cows.

Mich cows require warm stabling
through the winter and complete protcc-
ton from storms and cold winds to pre-
vent them from rapidly shrinking i'm
their milk. After Il cow has eaten her

she feels comfortable and wants To lie
down. As mich cows should be kent nm
IN this way while the weather is cold. it
IS very important that they should have
plenty of bedding to cover the stable
hoor and keep them clean. For this pur-
pose, says n writer in the New York
WoTtd, 81 don't know of anything better
than sawdust, wherever it can be had
Tor the hauling from the mill or at a CHEAP
price per load. A good thick coating of
1t in a cows stall will last a good many
days If the manure dropped on it is re-
moved carly in the morning or before it
has been tracked around much. Dry
sawdust not only makes a soft bed for
the COW, but is also an excellent absorb
ant of liquids. BY removing the small
portions defled every day and supplying
their place with new, a load Of sawdust
may be made to last quite a long time.
1t does not become foul and soiled as
easily as straw, and where it is used the
udder does not need washing 50 fire.
quently, but can be kept clean with Il
coarse brush. The sawdust that is
thrown out on the manure heap soon be
comes n good fertilizer, and it will also
help TO loosen up a hard clay soil. If |
had straw in great plenty that | wanted
to make into manure, ! might use it for
the COW stable instead Of sawdust. but I
think the animals can be kept cleaner
and with less work on the latter"

LEAVES

They are dropping, slowly dropping
Embers from the flaming trees
All their radiance and splendor,
Kindled by the sunshine tender,
To the earth they now surrender
And the hayward breeze.
They are coming. softly coming
Amber, amethyst and pearl
With the ties of nature riven,
Tempest tossed and madly driven;
Flashing lustre back 10 heaven
In their giddy whirl.
They are h~itting-gayly fitting
tledglings OF autumnal light
From their lofty perches ~straying,
With a passing zephyr playing,
Bough and bush the course delaying
or their final fight.
They are hovering-gently lowering,
Over vale and rugged steep;
Covering DER the bloom-lit spaces
Which the early frost defaceS
Mantling tenderly the places
Where our loved ones sleep.
Yes, they're falling-Sadly falling
Russell crimson, gold and gray
Beauteous millions headlong flying,
With the winds discordant si0hing,
At feet ignobly lying,
Waiting dread decay.
They are teaching-ftly teaching
That which gladdeus-that which grieves
There is naught of earth abiding;
But, behind all nature hiding,
Is hand our footsteps guiding
And the falling leaves.

HIT THE BAIL HARD.
St. Paul Beats Milwaukee in
Smuggling Match.

On Thursday afternoon Milwaukee
beat St. Paul by making twice as many
scores, and yesterday afternoon st. Paul
beat Milwaukee in exactly the same
proportion. The games, however, were
not alike in any other respect. In the
first the score was to and the hits
and 6: in the other the score was 26 to
Is and the hits % and 10. Neither team
tailed yesterday in the first inning, but
there was plenty of smuggling in the
second. Werrick began by pasting one
of Griffith'S cOrkScrewS outside the lot.
This was the signal for a great dis
play of fireworks, and three singles,
two bases on balls, two errors and
home run by Carroll netted nine runs
for the inning. Milwaukee did not
score, and the inning ended to in st.
Pauls favor. The Brewers had not
made a safe hit, and 1t looked like
cinch for the Apostles. The locals did
not score in the third. but the MiIWau-
KEGS did. Albert made first on bad
balls and was retired at second on Mills
grounder to Mains. Mills purloined
second and got third on a passed ball.
Griffith hit high fly to Miller. There
were two out and man on third. Poor
man tapped the ball down and beat it to
first, Mills scoring. Sutton was hit by
Mains, and the bombardment began.
Morrissy cleared the bases with fine
drive over left-feld fence, Shoch,
Love and Kirby made singles, and
Albert landed the sphere over the
right field lattice work, scoring the
eighth run. ST. Paul got two around in
the fourth, but Milwaukee tied the
score with three on base on balls.
hit, a sacrifice and a throw into the
right beacherS by Miller. DAILY opened
the fifth with a home run, and, after
Farmer had struck out, Meekin, who
had came in to pitch, hit safely to right,
and Halves got in a clipping double.
Murphy sacrificed to center, Reilly
made single, Werrick his second home
run, Carroll double and Miller single,
the result being six runs. Meekin
pitched the last FIVE innings for st.
Paul, and was hit safely but three times.
Lowe pitched for Milwaukee beginning
with the sixth, but he was pounded at
will for nine runs. Outside of wild
throws by Farmer and Miller the field
ing of the st. Paul team was pretty.
Miller's stop of Kirby'S grOunder in the
ninth was an especially fine piece of
work. For the MilWaukeeS the best
fielding was done by Shoch and Kirby.
The game lasted two hours and half,
but was so peculiar in some respects
that it kept the spectators interested.
The score follows:

began to howl for Morrison, but Mr..
Mitchell didn't mind that, and in the
next seven innings he pitched ball
that held the IoWanS down to four hits,
no two of which were made in the same
inning, and only two men got as far as
third, the visitors going out in one, two,
three order in the sixth, eighth and
ninth. 1t certainly seemed a hopeless
day for Minneapolis when the Prohibi-
tionists knocked out those seven tallies
in two innings, and so thought
the spectators, but surprise
was in store for them. In
the third Turner got base
on balls and Dannie Minnehan smashed
it out over the left field fence, bringing
in the two runs. In the next inning the
home team couldn't score, but the fifth
reminded some people of that awful
first inning IN the last st. Paul game.
Fourteen men went to bat and they
nearly all hit the ball. Six singles,
double, two stolen bases, man hit by
pitcher and three errors gave the boys
nine runs. They kept up the good work
in later innings, running the score up to
seventeen. The score.

DID 1T AGAIN.
Des Moines Done Up by Minneap-
oils Yesterday afternoon,

Tall doc" Watts went in the box
for Des Moines yesterday and proved
that. like the large majority of pitchers,
he couldn't pitch two good games in
two consecutive days. Morrison was
on the card to pitch for the home team,
and tried it one inning. A single. three
bases on balls, one of which pushed
man across the plate, and one error
by Minnehan, who failed to gather in
Macullar's grounder, Melted three runs
for the Hawkeyes, whereas the home
team had been unable to get man be-
yond first in its half of the inning.
Mitchell went into the box in the in
terest of Morton in the second. Traff1ey,
who was first to bat, few out to Foster.
Then Watts got bunt hit toward third,
and four bad balls put men
on first and second. Klusman
seemed to feel just right, for
he pasted the leather over the left field
fence, driving Watts and Maskrey
across the plate ahead of him. Whitley
laughed when he saw it 90, and tried
the same trick. poking the ball clear
throughthe chicken netting in the right
field fence. That was four runs in Mitch
clips inning, and the 1,5O0 people who
adorned the grand stand and bleachers
