One day in 1896, Bill Joyce. who was
then with Washington, stood poised on
first base, while Tacks Parrot, who
was playing center for st. Louis,
chased a fly in deep field, relates John
B. Sheridan. ''Tacks" had habit of
touching off his catches with a run of
ten or fifteen yards, Just to show how
hard they were. Bill was acquainted
with this weakness, and the minute
the ball hit PARROTS mitt he was of.
When he struck second Parrot was
still running with his back to the in
field Bill kept on, shot past third
and came straight home. When the
infielders saw him go for third they
yelled to 'Tacks,' and that wild
worthy sent in the ball, but Bill had
the plate a mile I think this is the
only case in which a runner scored
from first on a field out on which no
error was made.

A Good Tip for Young Players.

Young players will do we'll to follow
as close as possible the style OF living
pursued by a player who has been over
twenty years in the spangles and is
still the king in his position. McPhee,
second baseman of the Cincinnati team,
plays ball on practically an empty
stomach. "On days that I take part
in a game eat very little at the noon
day meal" said McPhee yesterday.
Some tea or toast, or something equal
ly as light is enough for me until after
the game. I found long ago that you
cannot expect to do good work on full

Owing to the lateness of the spring
there is still time to make use of all
the methods of checking the apple
tree tent-caterpillar for the coming
season. The young larvae are prob
ably yet concealed in the egg-bands
about the wild cherry and apple tw1gs
and these bands can easily be located,
cut off and burned or soaked in kero-
sene. Certainly the ravages of the
little pests upon the leaves can only
be begun, even in the most favored
localities, and the voracious caterpu-
lars can be met by arsenical sprays.
The nests Of those escaping the poison
can be cut out or burned upon the tree.
and a final search Of the orchard along
in June will reveal the yellowish-
white cocoons which then conceal the
marauders. After July the egg
bands will be found again and can be
looked for in every orchard operation
until the next spring. Encourage the
children to seek them out and destroy
them; and try to make friends with
the cuckoos, chickadees, Baltimore
orioles, wrens and vireos, who will aid
you in getting rid of caterpillars or
eggs. Wild cherry trees about the
premises should be carefully watched
as they are the favorite food plants
of the caterpillars. These simple RENE
dies and precautions are taken from
Bulletin No. 1872 of the New York
Agricultural Experiment Station (Ge-

Regular Crops Needed.-More than
anything else we need regular mar
kets and a steady demand for our ap-
pies, says A. E. Barrett in Michigan
Farmer But a regular market natur-
ally presupposes a regular crop, and
here we get at the gist of the whole
trouble What can we do to make our
trees produce certain quantity of
apples every year? The ability to do
this would be worth more than to in
crease the bearing of the trees. We
could then gauge matters accurately
and know just what profit there is in
the business. At present our trees
produce big crops one year, and then
half a crop the next. If somebody
could remedy this state of affairs our
orchards would be more profitable. 1t
is not the nature of the trees to yield
such irregular crops, but it is due to
conditions that we ought to be able
to remove or improve in some way.
Temperature for Seedlings-It
would be well to caution those who
have sown seeds of ANIMALS during the
last few weeks that the seedlings must
be kept cool If they are subjected to
the heat of the ordinary living room
GO degrees FahrenheiD they will be
drawn, weak and spindling, and will
perhaps not do so well after being
planted out as if the seed had been
sown directly into the ground En-
deavor if possible to keep the seed
lings in temperature not higher than
60 degrees, with a night temperature
of not above SO If kept no warmer
than this they Will make a stocky,
sturdy and healthy growth.-Woman's
Home Companion.
