THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
Reasons for His Superiority to All
Others.

From the Army and Navy Journal
II Lord Woiseley wishes to determine
the exact cause of the superiority of the
American soldier. which he recognizes. and
learn why our officers get more out of the
men than the officers of foreign powers,
which pride themselves upon their military
organizations, he will have to look further
than the pay rolls of our army. Our SOL
diers excel for the same reason that our
citizens in other walks of life are winning
victories from their foreign competitors.
The citizens here are not only better cloth
ed. better fed and better housed than the
average man in any country of the world,
but our institutions have bred in the bone
of the American the deepest reverence for
and love of country, and have tended to
make him an independent man among his
fellows-a man imbudd TO the core with
manhood of the highest type. Our army.
unlike many of the armies of the world,
does not attract the parasites of society.
Our 40 per cent of reflections show that we
will not have such men in the army, and,
because of the rigidity of our examinations
to prospective recruit, few of the men,
bers of such a type do creep into our
ranks. In showing Lord Wolseley the
deeper signihcance in the superiority of
our army II Is eminently proper that we
call particular attention to the undoubted
superiority of the preliminary training
given our officers at West Point.
That West Point Is the best military
school In the world Is conceded by all i'm
partial critics Its methods transform the
average raw youth into the honorable. re-
lined and highly educated officer Of our
army. He Is pre-eminently taught the
"habit OF command" which. as a rule he
uses without any OF the arrogance shown
by officers of some Of the armies of Eu-
rope. notably that Of Germany. He Is made
to realize that he commands men who are
- sentative as they are brave, and who
appreciate and respect character combin-
tnG generosity. kindness. firmness and
above all else, physical and moral courage
These traits OF character are carefully cul-
tivated at West Point. with q result that,
besides having the best enlisted personnel.

At a meeting Of dairymen on the
exposition grounds at Buffalo, Mr.
Gregg of Minnesota spoke on the
points necessary in dairy cows ano
sires. He called attention to the ne
cessity for strengthening the consti.
tutional vigor of dairy animals, an,
warned against trying to develop tn,
dairy capacities above the constitu-
tional ones. Health, strength AM
dairy qualities should be looked after
We fancy that the judges OF our dairy
cattle will find these points hard L,
guard. The judge may form a cor.
rect opinion of the dairy qualities o
an animal, but to determine tht
amount of vigor is a more difficult
thing. The man that has charge o.
such an animal all the time for years
may have a pretty clear conception OF
the truth, but the casual observer
cannot have such. The history of the
ancestors also are necessary to shed
light on the health and vigor Of their
offspring. Thus new problems are
arising for the judges to solve. and we
believe the breeders OF dairy cows
will In the future demand that the
questions be solved

BANE OF BALL PLAYERS.

Ball players find great difficulty In
obtaining profitable employment dur
ing the winter months. Players often
disown their profession and claim
some other calling when they apply
for positions. An employer need only
know that the applicant IS a ball play
er and he is subjected to critical in
vestlgation as regards his habits. be-
fore he Is given employment and in
many cases he does not even receive
an audience.
The regulations OF many ball play
ers do not bear the scrutiny of a
careful business man. And why il
this so?
The profession in itself is honor
able and the sport above suspicion.
The game Is patronized and admired
by rich and poor alike. The players
are idollzed during the season. and
public appreciation is often evidenced
by liberal donations to inspire them to
good work.
Why is II then. | say, that the play
ers are lauded to the skies and show
cred with presents while they are ac-
lively engaged in their profession,

Here. it will be seen that the four

But there are still more interesting

stance, the leaders and tailenders in
the race OF the nine pitchers of the
Pittsburg corps of 1901, the percentage
figures OF the first five ranged from
1000 to ,643. while that OF the thir-

percentage OF 500. These are signifi-
cant facts. which so to show up the

EaLit Is a considerable factor In
regulating the stock supply of coun-
try. There are certain sections of this
country, notably In the South, where
conditions are favorable for stock
raising. but where the industry has
never gained a foothold. The only
reason discoverable is that the farm
ers in such sections have never formed
the habit OF stock raising In recent
report to the Farmers Review, a cor
respondent in Wisconsin said that In,
his country the farmers went int
dairying when the price for horses
fell. and when the price OF horses
again rose the dairying habit had be-
come so firmly fixed that the farmers
continued to give their attention TO
the production of milk rather than to
the production OF horses. This factor
OF habit is seldom taken into consid-
Grafton when planning new enterprises
in new localities. When the great de-
preston came in the horse breeding
business several years ago, multitudes
OF men gave up the production OF
horses for market and turned their at
tention to other lines Of farming.

There is always trouble in getting in
cubator eggs in the fall. The man
that wants large quantities of fertile
eggs at this time must make provision
beforehand for them. He must breed
his hens with the idea of their first
batch of eggs being laid by the time
the incubator is to be set to work.
This means that his layers are to be
provided for by Matching some chick
ems in the latter part Of winter and
pushing them along on stimulating
feeds. SO they will begin laying by
the latter part of October. This can
be done with a little forethought and
good feeding methods.
II is interesting to note that the
course in poultry keeping at the Rhode
Island Agricultural College is to be
continued this winter and that 1t APP
pears to have become settled part
of the college work. II is a short
course of six weeks and is open to ali.
Among the students are persons of
quite mature age. The course this win
ter will open January s and continue
till February 10. The topics to be con-
sidered are those of most interest to
poultry raisers and include the follow
ing: Breeding of water fowls ana
turkeys; incubation and brooding;
eggs and flesh production; caponizing;
poultry diseases; poultry buildings;
ventilation and heating. The work be-
ing done at this college can we'll be
duplicated in our other agricultural
colleges.
A new breed of hens is being i'm
ported from France called the Faver-
olles. They are described as good
sized birds of the Houdan type, and are
said to be strong rivals of that breed
They resemble in some ways the
three breeds: Dorkings. Houdans, and
Brahmas, and are said to have been
produced by crossing those three
breeds. Their eggs weigh about the
same as do Plymouth Rock eggs and
have the brownish tint denoting
Asiatic blood. They are reputed to be
large producers of eggs. but so are
all new breeds. They have yet to
stand the test and competition OF
American life.

have been quite busy the past
week In making up new analytical
pitching table OF the work OF the pitch

National League of 1901. and I find
that 1t yields one of the most interest
ing statistical records | have hitherto

pitching work OF each season, writes
Henry Chadwick In the Sporting
News My analysis involves a series
of special records from which | am
enabled to show. pretty conclusively,
the interesting fact that a corps OF
four pitchers in club can amply suf
flee for winning purposes,
provided that the excellence of the
supporting corps In the field Is up to
the required mark OF the quartette of
the clubs pitching corps. Another
thing derived from my analytical rec
ord of the pitching Is, that the larger
the corps OF pitchers engaged the near
er the team gets to the last ditch at
the finish. IL does not follow, how
ever that the club having the fewest
pitchers on its team is the one that
takes the lead; or that the cub having
the largest number of pitchers will
surely be the tailender in the annual
race. as there are exceptions to all
rules; but experience shows that as
regards a pitching corps OF a profess
sional base ball team, the old saying
that "in the multitude OF council there
is much strength" is reversed, for in
a multitude of pitchers there is much
weakness.
My analysis of the Leagues pitching
of 1901 shows that the eight clubs en-
ployed no less than seventy-three
pitchers. averaging nine pitchers to
each club. Here is the record:
