The speed at which cricket ball is de-
livered by fast bowler may be roughly es-
timated at a mile a minute. When Mr. c.
I. B.Turner, the Australian bowler, Wis
tied Woolwich arsenal, he was requested
by an official to bowl through the electric
screens in use for measuring the velocity Of
projectiles. 1t was found that, at a point
representing half way between the wickets,
the velocity of Turner'S ball was 81 feet per
second, or so miles an hour At this rate
the ball would traverse the pitch in 27ths
of q second. Several bowlers, however, as,
for instance, Mold. the Lancashire profes-
sional, and Kortright, the Essex marvel,
bowl faster than Turner, and this would
bring the pace to the mile per minute. 1t
may be well understood that batsman
has to keep all his wits about him to guard
his wickets and his body from such at
tacks as these.-Scottish Referee

FARMING Notes Of Interest.

In feeding stock remember that it is not
what the animal eats but what i. dige,ts,
which determines its value as feeder.
British Columbia shows the biggest apple

1t is said that within the last thirty FIVE
years the average weight of heeees pro-
duced in the United States has doualed.
This is due to the fact that the sheep have
been better cared for in every way than
formerly and more intelligently managed,
especially with reference to breeding.
The Maine farmer has no occasion at his
own table to test for oleomargsrine. The
kno Wedge of good test may not be amiss,
however Draw three or four pieces of
ordinary sewing cotton slightly twisted to-
gether through the piece to be tested, st
light to it and blow it out almost immedi-
stely and smell the smoke. If it is mar

newly extinguished tallow candle, but With
butter there is no such smell.
The porkers are rounding out for the

them with green food are today the gamers

course augmented its growth hut have uti-

partially wasted. BY this time in the sea-
son the wise feeder has discovered tina. it 10
proper to feed the hog only so much as it
will eat up clean at every meal; also that
the food which is the most fattening will
not produce the best results in growing and
breeding animals.
