Indoor Baseball.

One would suppose that baseball
p ayers would get enough of their. ia
vorite sport from April to November,
but they are not satisfied. Like the
cycler who rides in midwinter if he
gets chance, and the skater who de-
mands artificial ice Kinks in summer,
the baseball enthusiast has contrived
way to play the game in winter.
There is needed for the purpose a
iaTSs, enclosed space with an arched
roof, ut least one hundred feet above
the floor, and there should be very few
pillars or other distinctions. The
floor may be sanded or not, as suits the
players.
The same rules that govern the ma.
tional game apply in the indoor game.
There are some few notifications,
however. The bal is much larger and
is softer, and The bat is smaller. This
is to avoid the smashing of windows
and the like. The bases on a regular
ball ground are ninety feet apart. In
the indoor game the distance is regu.
lated by the size of the building, hut
forty-five is an average. Not only i:
the shortening of the bases due to the
diminished space, but also to the diff
Guilty found in throwing the big bal
any great distance.
While the length OF the base line is
diminished, the distance between the
] pitchers box and the home plate is
also corresponding decreased. All
the other rules of the outdoor game
stand for the indoor game. There is
little advantage in the outdoor game
OF n profe ssional over the amateur.
The handling Of the big ball is about
as difficult for one as for the other.
The pitcher cannot curve, and it is for
this renaon that the smaller bat is
used. If large bat was used there
would be too much home run getting.
The game is played in the West-in
Chicago principally and is very pop
ular there, but has not found much
favor in other sections.

when Tea Drinking started.

A pretty legend is told OF the origin
of tea drinking. The story runs tha,
daughter of certain Eastern poten.
tate was enamored of a young noble.
man, and one day her admirer, with
out the knowledge of her attendants,
presented her with n few green
branches.
One of these she treasured, and when
she reached her apartments che placed
the twig in goblet of water; there it
remained some hours, the object of her
tenderest care.
Toward evening she was seized with
very sentimental attack, during which
she drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. 1t had a most agree
able taste, and then she ate the leaves
and stalk. The flavor pleased her
greatly, and every day, in m emory OF
her admirer, she had punches of the
tea tree brought to her, and ate them
or put them in water and drank the
infusion.
The ladies of the court were moved
to try it themselves, and did 80 with
such pleasing results that the practice
spread throughout the world.

wha. to DO with Wet Boots.

When q man arrives home with We
boots he will usually either stand them
in the fireplace or simply throw them
with their soles down, anywhere out
OF the way. The former method does
harm to the boots, aud the latter to
the wearer. Boots must not be placed
too aear fire. To dry them, they
should be set at distance OF about
two feet away, with soles toward the
fire; they will then dry gradually. I!
trees are available, put them in when
the boots are about half dry; bat it il
OF no use freeing boots that are sod
den If it is desired to wear them next
day.

The following questions about feed
ing rye to swine are asked John
Cownie, who answers them through the
Homestead:
~ Is unground rye good for fatten-
ing hogs? Corn is far superior to rye
for fattening hogs, and if rye is fed il
should be ground, mixed with bran and
shorts or ground oats and made into q
swill before being fed.
W Is rye good for young pigs after
they are old enough to eat, not as full
Iced, but, say once a day? Is il q
healthful food? Rye makes good.
healthful food for pigs when ground
and made into swill, but it is altogether
too strong when fed alone, and should
be mixed with shorts and ground oats.
~ Would soaked rye, once a day.
make good feed for sows sucking PIGS
No, it is altogether too strong food.
and, as already stated, should not be
fed alone.
az Would corn, oats and rye.
ground, make good swill for sucking
pigs; also would it be good for the pics.
and IN what proportion should the grain
he mixed? Would some bran mixed
with the foregoing make it any better?
Neither corn nor rye meal is fit for n
brood SOW and should not be fed for
the reasons already given. Ground
oats, shorts and bran, ma lie into n
swili, are far better adapted for brood
sows, either before or after narrowing
man such strong, heavy grain as rye
and corn. If corn or rye meal are fed.
1t must be sparingly, or fever in the
sows will result, causing, perhaps. the
loss Of the pigs.

None tn Waste

The author of Campaigning in
South Africa and Egypt" gives q
pertinent illustration OF the virtue
there is in necessity. He had been
asked by friendly Boer in Africa to
go out shooting. Accordingly, he
writes, he took rifle and bag Of
cartridges and set out for the appointed
spot. When L met my friend, he
said,-
"What have you got in that bag
your dinner"
No, / answered. Cartridges.
Whereupon he reared with laughter.
'You EDglishmen must be very
ricb," said he. "They cost sixpence
apiece here"
Where are yours. Lasksd
IN this" he answered, tapping hi
double-barrelled rifle.
'You don't intend to shoot much p
Two spring bucks are all car
carry"
Suppose you miss?"
Nobody misses when q cartridg,
cost sixpence."
There was something instructive il
the remark. 1t perhaps proved why
the Beers had, in 1881, beaten the
English, for the Boer, unwilling &c
waste his ammunition, will aim ant
take down his rifle dozen times, unit
he is satisfied that he is going to ge
something for his cartridge.
On the occasion in question my
friend got his two bucks, while 1 fir &c
five cartridges and got one.

II must be remembered that the gen

1t must be remembered that the gen
eral shape of the breed must be taken
into consideration when selecting the
best type of layer. A very lank
Cochin hen would look very chunky
ii dressed in the plumage of game
fowl, and unless You have fixed in YOU YOU
mind the ideal shape Of t Ia, breed il
will be slow work trying to pick q
layer.
This is matter of greater impor-
lance than is usually accorded to it,
for the main profit from n large major
ity of the flocks of the country must
come from the production of eggs. ii
care is taken in selecting the breeding
pens to only take such as have the
typical marks of good layer it will be

Top Dressing.

My experience is that, rs a general
rule, 1T is the safest and best plan to
get the manure applied upon the land
as fast rs possible after it is made. Ii
does not gain any additional value as q
fertilizer by being allowed to lie around.
while as ordinarily managed it often
loses more or less.
While so far as other conditions will
admit, ! prefer to apply the greater
part OF the manure on plowed land be-
fore crop is seeded or planted, usually
on land intended for corn during the
winter, and on land intended for wheat
during the summer. But in the fall or
early winter, fall wheat may be often
benefited by top dressing with manure.
and L have hauled out and applied
manure on corn after the first cuitiva
ton has been given with n decided
benefit. But when applied as a top
dressing on wheat, corn, or even mea-
dow land, good care must be taken to
distribute as evenly as possible or
otherwise the plants may be injured.
GENERALLY after the season opens in the
spring there is very little opportunity
Tor hauling out and applying manure,
but If the other work will permit, and
there is manure to haul, we should not
hesitate to haul out and apply after the
corn crop has been planted The work
OF giving the necessary civilizations will
usually work sufficiently into the soil

Regular saIting of Cows.

II is important that COWS be regu-
iarly selted at least twice a week. III
they have salt before them all the
lime they will not eat more than is
good for them. This regular sailing
not only increases milk yield, but also
makes it of better quality. Where
COWS are salted regularly thei, milk
