The Johnstown Field Gu has brought
its baseball season to a close and a re-
view of it's work on the diamond is in
teresting.
The team suffered very few changes
during the year and in the batteries there
were very few changes indeed.
The total number of games played was
26. Out of these four were decided against
the Johnstowns and twenty-five were won
by them. The total number of runs made
by the team is 1874, while only 81 uns
were scored against them. The pitching

kell and Stanaway. The teams that
scored victories over the Johnstowns are
the Pacific A. c., National A. c., Bayside
A. C. of Bayonne, and Marion F. G. All
these teams were in turn defeated by the

Oats for Younr Lamhs.

A healthy, thrifty lamb will very soon
require more food than the limited
amount which it's dam furnishes, and
when not more than q week old will
begin to pick at hay or clover as it sees
its dam doing. This is an indication
that it needs additional food. Clover
hay is excellent, but it should be sup.
plemented by feed of half a gill of oats
given morning and night. There is nc
better nutrition for growing animals
than oats. 1t will enable them to eat
and digest other food and put them in
the way of being thrifty all the rest OF
their lives, until their teeth are toe
much worn by use to masticate well.

MOTORS AND HORSES.
Why the Auto-MobiIe Truck VIII
Never Interfere with the Draft
Horse Business.

The question of whether motor
cycles are to injure our trade in heavy
horses seems to be disturbing some,
but not the men most interested. They
know that whatever effect the auto
mobile may have on the trade in light
carriage horses, the effect will be moth
ing on the work of the great draft an
imals. An automobile may do some
thing on an asphaltum pavement, but
even badly paved road becomes to
it an element of uncertainty. 1t must
ever work on the principle of a revolv-
ing wheel rather than on the principle
of powerful lever scientifically APP
piled. In a muddy road or a snow
bank what becomes of any vehicle that
has no purchase outside of it's smooth
wheels? The foot of the horse plunges
down into the mud and finds bottom,
and gets a purchase for pull. 1t will
be long while before we find sub
stitute for this particular ability in
the horse. 1t is the thing that per-
mits the horse to draw heavy loads up
muddy hills, over stony roads, across
plowed fields. The horse goes where
the motorcycle cannot follow him.
1t was because of this that the steam
plows failed to do the work that had
been planned for them. 1t was found
that the engines could not make their
way over uneven and soft ground even
when the wheels were specially con-
structed. 1t was once believed that the
steam pillow would drive out the horse,
but one would have to 60 long ways
to-day to get sight of steam pillow. In
some cases the steam pillow earned
with it the planks that must be laid
down before it to enable it to move
at all.
The question of good roads is a
great one, but we will not see good
roads everywhere in this generation.
Much less will we see level roads, and
it will require level roads for the mo-
torcycle to do effective work in draw
ing large loads. Such roads will not in
crease proportionately with the popu-
lation, and if all such roads were used
for motorcycles the demand for horses
would not be diminished in COMPARE
son with that existing at this time.
The horse will continue to retain his
supremacy over all mechanical sub
stitutes. If he be of good quality he
will bring good price in the future as
at the present time. There is no rea-
son why the farmer should not do his
best to produce a high grade animal,
knowing that there are always buyers
ready to pay good price for him.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN,

Hogs sometimes get seasick travelling
on the cars.
A horse broad in the forehead will
generally be intelligent and kind.
Small, unstable, cooked potatoes are
good for the hogs; mix with skim milk
and little corn meal.
The purer the race of the parent, the
more certainty there is of transmitting
Its qualities to its offspring.
When giving horses rest, give them
the full benefit by making their quar-
tiers as comfortable as possible.
A sloppy, watery mess should never
be given young pigs, for by gorging
themselves with it, they become pot
bellied, have indigestion and scours.
When the dam is seen to lie down to
let her pigs suckle, and then jump up
quickly to try to push the pigs away,
sometimes not without giving utterance
of pain, the trouble is with the teeth OF
the pigs, which have become sharp.
These sharp teeth should be broken of
or filed down. They can be easily dis
tinguished by examining the mouth OF
the pig, and quickly corrected.-West-
ern Plowman,

Cu,I. Dear mt Any Price.

The time of good prices for pure
bred stock is time of more or less
temptation for the breeder, as also for
the farmer who buys for the improve
ment of his herd. The breeder is tempt
ed to keep and sell something that is
not good enough to use for breeding.
The farmer is induced to buy it because
It looks cheap compared with merito-
rious pure-bred animals. Both lose
money in the end. The breeder who
sells culls will soon have a correspond
ing reputation. The farmer who buys
culls will lose many times the difference
in price, and his faith in pure-bred
stock to a certain extent. Stock breed
ing is not an exact science, and culls
will come occasionally, but do not sell
or buy them for breeding purposes

SANITARY HOG HOUSE.
Dry, Sanshiny Quarters Are AbsO.
Iutely Necessary to the Steady
Health of Swine.

In some of the counties of Illinois
half of the hogs often die on account of
disease. In Iowa severe losses are re-
ported. Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri report loss, but to a smaller
extent. Kentucky is comparatively
free. Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
Dakotas are usually light sufferers. 1t
Is seen from this that disease is most
prevalent where there are. the most
hogs. The massing of animals together
and crowding them with so carbon
aceous food as corn is an invitation
to disease to come and reap heavy har-
vest. The surroundings become unsan-
itary, disease germs multiply fast, the
system is enfeebled by damp, unwhole-
some surroundings, and it is not sur
prising that bad results follow.
One of the best germicides known is
sunlight. Disease loves darkness and
