appears exactly the same size and weight. But no chances are taken, and each is weighed several times during the final winding so that accuracy may be assured
 After being dipped in the cement again the ball is ready for covering.
 The covers are alum-tanned horse hide, which Is as soft and fine as the best white kid For the best balls only eighteen covers can be got out of one hide, only the very choisest parts can be used.
 The hide is first knee-staked. That Is, 1t is stretched backward and forward over a knee-high stake by a strong boy till it will stretch no more. The cutting is done by machinery The cover is in two pieces. each the shape of the figure s. machine cuts out these pieces and perforates them ready for sewing. These Machines are wonderfully acurate and very rapid
 The balls are placed for covering in dampers of wood, and the covers are fastened first with brass staples and then with strong cotton thread of the best quality. It takes about fifteen minutes to sew the cover on ball This requires considerable muscle. and only men are employed at the work
 The ball Is still rough. on the seams It is rolled by hand and a few hours later by machinery, whence it emerges the completed article, ready for pack ing and selling.
 The market for baseballs is entirely in this country, with the exception of small and recent demand that has de- veloped in Cuba and the Philippines. During the Boxer uprising in China quite a number of balls were exported there for the use of the American troops.
 The whole process of making a ball takes just thirty minutes and 1t often happens that its life on the diamond Is no longer. The professional leagues usu- ally put in play during a game from four to six balls. which are never again used except for practice. Amateurs put in play two, three or four balls, according to their wealth. Where all the old balls l go Is question that has never been solved, but several million disappear every season. When the winter comes on the seasons output has gone.

Drumhead; this last mentioned, I would prefer to the others. The last named is fine sort. and if planted by middle of July can be ready for market by or be- fore we have any cold weather. These early sorts will not stand so much cold and so If they are used for a fall crop should be planted early enough to be matured before cold weather.
 Now, I wish to mention and recom- mend another cabbage which is coming to be great fayorite of truckers. This is the American -Drumhead Savoy. Like the Hollander, this variety is perfectly hardy, strong grower. a ready seller and, In fact, one of our best all around winter sorts. I was in Decatur, Ala bama, during last November, and while there I met on the market a trucker whom we had induced to plant this Savoy cabbage. He was selling his crop at l per dozen, and said that he was only sorry that he had not planted ten acres instead of three. I examined the crop and found the stock to be green, fresh and nice-uninjured by the frost at thts late date.
 Still another grand feature about this cabbage is that even if they fail to make solid heads, they will always bring good price as greens so I cannot too strongly urge the planting of this valu- able variety. But one thing to be re- membered in growing late cabbage, is that in order for them to resist cold weather and grow right along, they must have regular cultivation. The time for growing them is so short that they need all the encouragement that can be given When our truckers once turn their at- tention to growing late cabbage, no doubt but that they will succeed.
 CoIIards.
 The same general directions as eivey, for growing cabbage will answer for the growing of collards. These too, are val uable crops and are more generally and easily grown than cabbage

better the fishing. There has been too much of a good thing, however.
 The floods have washed quantities of food Into the lakes and the bass are not eager. The trout is, above all things, a clean fish, and must have clean water in order to feed we'll When the streams are muddied and sand and chips are float Ing down the trout retreat to their hid- Ing places in the deeper pools and stay there until the water above them clears The bass are not so susceptible but still dislike to roam much or to do much feed- ing In water that Is disturbed or swollen.
 1t is the belief that the present season will be better than many of the past, be- cause the high water now means full lakes later. In late July and August they have been too shallow, but enough or water has been stored up to last them through. In some places them are six feet above the ordinary level.
