Billings Ball Team Sends Forsyth to
the Races.

the Races.
Sunday morning the baseball club
left for Forsyth, where they went to
give the ball tossers Of that hamlet
an insight into the national game
as it is played in Billings. The game
was called at 3 p. m. with Billings
at the bat. For nine innings the
spectators were treated to as neat
an exhibition of baseball as is sell
dom seen in amateur circles. There
we're many excellent features and
but few errors marked up Us either
side. The battery work /of both
was a sight tomake g)Gd the heart
of the most exacting s6d critical fan.
The Forystbhans made a brave strg-
gle to repeat the1r victorious con
quest at Miles city recently, but the
"Alkali FlatterY proved a harder
proposition thft the Tongue River
Fishermen ind when the smoke Of
battle cleared away the score read
seven to four in favor Of Billings.
An enthusiastic crowd of Forsyth
rooters was in attendance with their
little tin horns, to make the visitors
hate themselves, and incidentally aid
the cause of the home team. But
later developments showed that the
Rosebuds were the ones ordained for
the sacrifice, and after the seventh
inning the multitude maintained a
discreet and Thoughtful silence.
The most conspicuous figure in the
days events was the umpire, and for
him life has doubtless lost it's charm
His earnest and laborious attempt to
do the square thing" was certain
lily commendable, but his manner Of
looking at various complicated ques
lions brought everything his way, es
pecially all the players, and much
valuable time waJ consumed in dis
cussing parliamentary rules and dia
mond etiquette. Tom Butler, the hos
pitable proprietor of the American
hotel, placed lid best at the dispose
of the visiting Feam, and they were
made to feel that life in Forsyth II
not altogether hollow mockery.
Next sunday5 June 80, the same
teams will crois bats at the fai
grounds in this city. A first-clas!
game is assured. and it is hoped tina
q good crowd will be in attendance
The lineup Of the local team II

stones or blocks use heavy pieces of
wood followed down to fit the round
ing side of the slab, which, of course,
is turned fiat side up to walk upon.
Two rows of cobbles or bricks on
each side, laid to break joints and
filled between with broken stone or
gravel and surfaced with sawdust or
sand, make durable and pretty walks.
Expensive plank walks or slat walks
are least satisfactory.
The indestructible walk, though
expensive, is made by first eNcavat-
ing the soil three feet deep or below
frost or to bed rock, and filling in
with cobbles, brickbats, gravel or
shale, rounding it above the surface
and covering it with finely sifted
gravel, or with coarse gravel and fine
gravel or sand on top. When the
trench is dug it should be excavated
six to eight inches wider than the
walk that is desired. The filling
should be tapered to the width of the
intended walk, and the soil filled in
as shown in the cut.
This permits the frost to lift the
soil and leave the walk undisturbed.
The great trouble with all walls and
walks is the frost. 1t will heave and
spoil if the works are not put in I'M
der the best conditions. The best
work is cheapest in the end.-Farm

ABOUT BITTER MILK.
eased Condition of the Udder
Responsible for 1t.

The bacteriologists, some of them
at least, say a bacterial organism gets
in the milk during milking, which
there multiplies so rapidly as to soon
make the milk bitter, writes Dr..
Smead. in the National Stockman.
Well, that may be true sometimes, but
more times it is not true in my eX-
perience. Some cows long in lactation
will produce bitter, nauseous milk
by reason of natural change going
on in their own system. Of this am
fully convinced, and have so expressed
myself in previous article. In other
cases, COW badly fed will give Bit
ter milk, or diseased condition of the
Idder will do the same. The latter we
can easily find out by simply milking
each teat separately, and thus find
which quarter is producing this kind
of milk, as it is rare indeed that each
quarter is ailing. Not so when tho
cows liver or digestion is deranged.
Then all the teats will furnish bitter
length of lactation is the cause.
1t is, therefore, important to know
about these things before prescribing.
The COW whose habit is to give bitter
milk when five, six or seven months in
lactation had better be dried off and
sold for beef. The one whose liver
or digestion is off should have a pound
of epson salts given as a physic and
two drains of powdered hyposulphite
of soda morning and night until the
trouble ceases. If bad, moldy food is
the cause, correct that by better
class of food. If, as the bacteriologisl
says, she is carrying around on her
carcass a lot of 1ilth-laden germs,
,eady to drop in the milk, go at her
with soap and water, curry comb and
Brush backed up with plenty of elbow
grease. and scrub of the old COW and
make her clean. Then clean the sta
Bile. Use lime or land plaster free-
~ in it, and bed the cow with clean,
dry straw. Some mems COWS / know
of would look little wild out of their
eyes and might cause the owner to be-
lieve they We're going crazy, but they
won't.

KAISER ORDERS sAUERKRAUT.
he Sent to the German Army
in China,

To the long list of triumphs
achieved by Philadelphia manufac.
turers during the last few months
there was added recently one tina,
i, likely to create in Germany almost
as great a feeling of commercial in
dignation as was inspired in Eng,
land when contracts for British
ed to American contractors. In
short, the German government,
which has been so inimical to the
interests of expatriated American
hogs. has just placed with Phila-
delphia firm an order for 2,4OO tons
the kaiser's army in China.
For many years there was dispo-
sition on the part of the Germans liv-
ing in this country to regard Amer
ican-made sauerkraut as inferior to
the German product, says the Phila-
preference, sauerkraut was for a
long time imported in very large
quantities from Germany. This was
sold in the American market in large
tins and earthenware jars ut prices
considerably in excess of those
charged for the domestic product.
In the course of the last three years,
however, Germans generally have
come to recognize the fact that great
improvements in the American meth.
DDS Of manufacturing sauerkraut
rendered it far superior to that i'm
ported from abroad. Accordingly
the demand for German sauerkraut
has been rapidly diminishing, and
at the same time domestic manufac-
turers have been in receipt of con-
stantly multiplying orders from Ger
many. Despite these facts, however,
the order for 2,40O tons which has
just been placed by the Ger
man government mas occasioned not
little surprise to American manu-
facturers.
The large order will be shipped
west in few days and no less than
eight freight cars will be required

Grass Seed for n Cemetery

No grasses excel Kentucky blue
grass and red-top either in beauty o.
utility for the purpose named. The
seeds may be mixed in equal proper
tons, and so to 100 pounds of the
mixture should be sown to an acre
of well-prepared and enriched soil. 4
pound of sweet vernal grass may be
added for the sake of the pleasant
odor. This is rather heavy seeding,
as the above grasses only weigh
about IA pounds to the measured
bushel. but the result will be better,
and far more permanent than if a
smaller quantity is used. Six or eight
pounds of white clover per acre may
well be sown separately. 1t is very
useful for covering vacancies and
supplying nitrogen to the grass roots
as time goes on.-Rural New Yorker.

A MissOurian PF0n0unces ON the
Farming Possibilities OF
Western Canada.

Just at present considerable inter-
est is being aroused in the fact that a
few new districts (of limited acreage)
are being opened out by the Canadian
Government in Saskatchewan and As
siniboia (Western Canada), and any
information concerning this country
is eagerly sought. Mr.. w. R. Corser,
of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo-, was
a delegate there during last summer,
and writing of his impressions he
says:
II found surprising yields of grain
of all descriptions. One farmer Wis
tied threshed of IT'S acres:
900 bushels of wheat from Is acres.

BUILDING DRY WALKS.
It IL Quite Expensive to Build Them,
but, When Properly Constructed,
They Will Last Forever.

A walk from house to barn and
woodshed is good thing in times
of mud or slush. 1t should be high
and dry. A chief reason why so few
farmers have these walks is the eX-
pense, and still most farms can pro-
cure material of some sort at little
or no cost. Strips of wood three
inches wide pegged on edge two feet
apart or further, and filled between
with gravel or sawdust, make good
walks. Another useful thing is slabs,
but they must be put together right.
The round side of each end must be
hewed fat and two inches thick.
These must butt one against another
on thick, fat stone or block of
wood, or upon pier of brick. Use
the longest slabs obtainable, ~, 16
or even 20 feet. Between the fiat

The Man md the Farm.

How any farm should be cropped
depends upon where the farm is, its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, because
they are not adapted to cultivation;
other farms invite tillage. Size, too,
is a controlling factor. A crop rota'
ton and schedule of farm work that
is admirable for 80 acres may be
wholly impracticable for 500 or 1000.
All of these and many other circum.
stances and conditions need to be
carefully considered by each farmer
who desires to make the very best
possible use of his land. Another and
the most potent factor of all is the
man himself. The man makes the
farm good or bad, as the man makes
almost everything else that comes
under his control.-Jersey Bulletin.

INDIANA ROAD LAWS.
Limit Loads Which Are of In.
terest Everywhere.

Two amendments to the highway law
Of 1881 have just been passed by the
Indiana legislature, one being the SEN
ate act adding provision that when
a petition shall so provide, the board
of commissioners and the viewers shall
have power and authority to establish
any portion of proposed improve
ment by changing the highway to run
over lands not before used for that pur-
pose, upon the assessment and pay
ment of damages, and the other the
house amendment providing that it
shall be unlawful for any person to
haul over any turnpike, gravel or mac
adamized road when it is thawing SO
as to break through, or by reason of
wet weather is in condition to be cut
up and injured by heavy hauling, load
on any vehicle with tires ''of less than
three inches" the combined weight
of which load and vehicle shall be more
than 5000 pounds, or to haul load
which, with the vehicle, weighs more
than 3,700 pounds, on any vehicle with
tires of three inches and less than
four inches in width, or mare than 1000
pounds where the vehicle has tires that
are four inches and less than five
inches in width, or more than 4,5OO
pounds where the vehicle has tires five
inches or more in width. Violations of
the act are to be punished by a fine of
not less than five dollars nor more than
$50 for each load so hauled.
The question what should be con-
sidered a load of more than $500
pounds under the law, before it was
amended, was raised in recent case
where driver for the Standard Oil
company was arrested on charge of
hauling an excessive load, and he took
the ground that his wagon and tank
constituted his vehicle and his load
was only the oil which the tank con-
tanned and weighed less than ton, al
though his wheels had cut through a
gravel road and STALLED" his three
horses.

LIQUID-AIR MARVELS.
Deefsteak Which Smas1,es II Dropped
Ice Made Hard Enough to
Cut Glass.

A Paris correspondent says that
NJ. d'Arsonval lately gave success
full demonstrati ton at the museum of
natural history of the qualities of
liquefied air. BY enormous pressures
he reached. temperature of minus
$50 centigrade. The liquefied air was
contained in double-sized silver
covered bottle, and did not evapor-
ate. Experiments with the India
rubber bottles showed that they be-
came as hard and brittle as glass.
The rubber could be pulverized, but
became elastic again when the air
was evaporated.
NJ. d'Arsonval showed beefsteak
dipped in liquefied air, and then let
it fall on the floor. when it sounded
Ike stone and broke in pieces. It
was eventually reduced to pink
powder easy to masticate and assim-
ilate, likely to be of important serv-
ice to hospitals. Ice dipped in lique-
fed air cut glass like a diamond,
mercury became hard as antimony.
Metals, especially steel, had their
qualities increased tenfold by the
application of liquefied air. Conduct
ing wires could be reduced to hairs
breadth in thickness and remain as
strong as enormous cables.
Liquefied air cannot, however. do
anything to preserve meat, as it is
TO way antiseptic and will not kill
microbes. Moreover, it is now five
times dearer than ice. Nor can it be
used for motor carriages nor sub
marine boats, because when heated
it is such powerful explosive that
no metal yet known could resist its
shocks. NJ. d'Arsonval warned the
French public to beware of CON-
panies collecting money for preserv-
ing meat or propelling motors by
Iiquefed air. Personal investigation
showed that such experiments must
end in failure.
