Base Ball Once More.

Mr.. EDIToR-In last weeks issue of
this paper we noticed reply to an ar.
ticle on Baseball, written by us, in a
previous number of your paper, in which
the writer, L. E. Diehl, Captain OF the
Mowrystown club, tries to make the
people believe that our article was alto.
gether false on his team, which is Just
the reverse, as you will see in a few
statements that we here give. In the
first place, he brings in games played
with the Winkle club, which has moth
ing to do with the games played here.
He also states that that club disbanded
and part of them joined the Sugartree
Ridge club, which is wrong. The first
club organized under the name of Tay.
lorsville, and after playing few games
disbanded, and then reorganized under
the name of Corwin Stars, taking in four
OF the boys who formally belonged to
Winkle. In the first game played, in
which the Mowrystown club lacked one
man. They expected one OF the "f1owers"
of Wrinkle to play with them, who had
already joined the Stars. II the Captain
had been as good player as the man
they put in as substitute we would not
have been in it little bit. As it is, we
are still eleven runs ahead, as we stated
before, and are not "doed," as badly as
he tries to make it appear. AS to the
umpire being member of our own club,
he was also our best player and catcher.
The fifty'fve cents they claim was paid
before his article came out in print.
Why didn't they play US for ten dollars
The only reason they are tired OF play.
ing the same club is because We gave
them that tired feeling.
Very Respectfully, CoRwIN STARS

FARM AND GARDEN.
MAKING coop ROADS.
Some Valuable and Sensible Conclusions
Reached Inv Prof King


Some Valuable and Sensible Conclusions
Reached by Prof. King.
One authority on the subject of road
draining claims that in prairie soil a
good road can be obtained for eleven
months in the year by simply putting
in good system of tile drainage,
slightly rounding the road bed
and sowing grass seed so that the
roots may aid the drainage. If the
road surface is to perform the service
OF roof it must be protected from the
action of narrow wagon wheels. A
sharp turn is always in better condi-
ton than the straight portions of the
road. A little thought shows at once
that this is due to the fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
each other and therefore do not form
ruts. A slight difference in the length
of the front and rear axles of wagons
with the use of wide tires would ac-
complish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing. 1t is hard to change GUS
tom, and probably nothing but legis-
lative action can introduce a change.
This change need not prove a hardship
to anyone, and the arguments against
such action are comparatively unim-
portant.
Prof. King has reached the following
conclusions: BY careful study of local
conditions determine the cost of bad
roads. Pay this cost as interest on cap
ital borrowed for making the needed
Improvement Substitute the cash sys-
tenn of paying road tax for the labor
system. Thoroughly drain all roads
and keep the drains always open. Dc
away with narrow tires and axles OF
the same length. Macadamize wher-
ever the traffic will warrant after full.
filing the above conditions. Keep the
road as clean as you would the roof OF
house, thus affording no chance for
water to collect and destroy the sur.
face.-Farmer's Voice.

THE NEW YORK BILL.
A Road Law Calculated to Overcome the
Prejudice of Taxpayers.

n hOaU Law SalCulaGeu To overcome tno
Prejudice of Taxpayers
A good roads bill introduced in the
New York legislature is .skillfully
drawn so as to overcome in large
measure the prejudice of local tax
payers against road building. 1t pro-
vides that the expense of road improve
ment be borne one-hsf by the state,
one-fourth by the county and one
fourth by the towns along the line of
the roads that are constructed. The
board of railway commissioners is put
lin charge of the road building, road
engineer being attached to their serv-
ice. 1t is made the duty of the board
to hold public meetings in different
parts of the state in order to promote
public sentiment in favor better roads.
Roads are to be improved on petition
of two-thirds of the owners of land
along which they pass, if the people in
the towns through which such roads
run favor the improvement. In order
to start the work the bill contains an
appropriation of $25O,O0O.
Lie oyoucHi 40 PioPooCu Wouiu SocLh
to be likely to promote road building.
If good roads are worth having, it is
surely wise expenditure of money on
thu part of the state to encourage their
construction. 1t can well afford to
invest a considerable sum each year
in this manner. Insomuch as it
seems the only way of getting the
movement for better roads started, ,the
New York plan to have the local tax
payer relieved from direct payments is
a highly practical one. By making
the construction of improved roads de-
pendent on the expressed wishes of
property owners proper limitation is
set upon the amount of road building,
while at the same time it is likely to
cause competition among different
communities to get the start of each
other in this respect.-Good Roads.

FOR WATERING COWS.
A Trough Which Is Almost Certain to
Give Satisfaction.


Referring to recent inquiry, would
say that familiarity with all or near
ly all the devices in use for watering
animals in their stables leads nae to a
belief in the efficiency of only one
that is, when we take into considera,
ton the time of an attendant, and the
fact that in this case the COW can help
herself when she feels so inclined, SO
that at no time in the "a hours is she
so gorged full of cold water that the
hair refuses to settle down for hours.
l will take for granted that there is a
low partition of boards in front of the
cows to keep the fodder from being
pushed and nosed out Of reach Even
with the top of such partition, long
trough the whole length of cow-stalls
either followed out of wood or an iron
trough encased in lumber, as shown,
should be fastened on the board in
front, at proper height and within
easy reach of the animal. This trough
should be inclosed with cover on top
from end to end, with the exception
of where it comes opposite each cows
head, and at that part small hinged
lid, with a little more projection or
nosing than the rest of cover, enables
the animals to lift the lid up with the
nose, which they do very readily.
If the cattle are intended to be
watered at regular intervals, tap

TESTING THE COWS.
A Simple Method of Determining the Per-
fOrmanCe of Each.

fOrmance of Each.
TEST your cows is the advice con-
tinually given by dairymen and agri-
cultural papers, and, like most advice,
is needed least by those who need it
most. Many farmers, while admitting
its wisdom, excuse themselves from
following it on the plea that they have
no testing apparatus, and therefore no
means of knowing the respective per-
formances of the cows.
To such would say that no scien-
tifc apparatus is necessary. the churn
isafter all the most satisfactory kind
of tester. All TINT is necessary is to
keep one cows milk separate for
couple of days, all the cream being
carefully removed. When the cream
has ripeued 1t should be churned, and
the scales will give the product, both
of milk and butter. After each COW in
the herd has thus been tested, COM
parison of results will tell which are
the most profitable cows and which do
not pay for their keep A little Of this
kind of testing would cause many a
farmer to change his opinion of the
merits of the respective members of
his herd, and enable him to weed out
worthless stock. Try it. The test is a
simple one; it is easily applied, and the
results cannot be disputed. Try it.,
and you will never regret the bother
you have had in finding out the leak in
your profits.-C. d. Bell, in N. Y.World.

To Prevent smut in wheat.

Place the seed in a barrel Of water
and stir until all the grain is wet and
the smutted and imperfect grains rise
to the surface, when they should be
SKINNED off Remove the grain after
Is to 80 minutes and place half
bushel at time in vessel through
which water can penetrate rapidly.
A wire basket with l2 meshes to the
inch or g.,nny sacking will do. Then
immerse The seed in barrel OF water
at temperature of Ito to 100 de-
grees, lift ard immense again, rotating
the sack, that every grain may be
soaked. Then immerse the sack in an
other barrel of water at 132 degrees,
at no time allowing the water to be
below 100 degrees or above 1876. Re-
peat the immersion number of times
in the scalding water. After the last
dip plunge into a vessel of cold water
and spread to dry Farm and Home.

DIvISlBlLlTY OF TIME.
New Light on the Subject From the NJ
tiOns of Planets and Stars.

New Light on the Subject From the Mo-
tions of Planets and Stars.
Napoleon, who knew the value of
time, remarked that it was the quarter
hours that won battles. The value of
minutes has been often recognized,
and any person watching railway
clerk handing out tickets and change
during the last few minutes available
must have been struck with how much
could be done in those short portions
of time.
Atthe appointed hour the train starts
and by and by is carrying passengers at
the rate of sixty miles an hour. In
second you are carried twenty-nine
yards. In one-twenty-ninth of Sec
ond you pass over one yard. Now, one
yard is quite an appreciable distance,
but one-twenty-ninth of second is
period which can not be appreciated.
Yet, it is when we come to planetary
and stellar motions that the notion of
the infinite divisibility of time dawns
upon us in new light. 1t would seem
thatno portion of time, however mi.
croscopic, is unavailable Nature can
perform prodigies, not certainly in less
than no time, but in portions of it so
minute as to be altogether inconceiv-
able. The earth revolves on her axis
in twenty-four hours. At the equator
her circumference is $4,000 miles.
Hence, in that part of the earth per-
son Is being carried eastward at the rate
of 500 yards per second. That is, he
is moving over yard, whose length is
conceivable, in the period of one FIVE
hundred-and-ninth part of second, Of
which we can have no conception at
all.
But more, the orbital motion of the
earth around the sun causes the former
to perform revolution of nearly 600,-
100000 miles in year, or somewhat
less than 10000 miles an hour, which
is more than 1000 miles Minute
Here, then, our second carries us the
long distance of about nineteen miles.
The mighty ball thus flies about a mile
in the nineteenth part of second. =
