on talk about team work in the field
ut there is rothing to it. 1t amuaes
ne to hear these sporting writer's
elk about the magnificent team
ork If a team happens to make a
,ouple of double plays said Artie
irwin. former manager of the Stars.
last year, If Lewee and Bonner
.ade three double plays in a game
ia first and second base, there would
ways be somebody to comment on
he wonderful team work That isn't
cam work. To make double play
1 the most natural thing in the world.
With a man on first base, the second
,aseman naturally runs to bis bag
rhen the man at bat hits TO sh0rtssop.
L ne didn't he would not hold his Job
wo minutes. Where is the team
crk In that play? Team work ID
tone at the bat There is where they
aust work together Let q man get
sway on A safety and the others must
York with him They must sacrifice
i'm to second. They must hit q
ight field to let him get TO third. The
uen on the bases must play together
The greatest exhibition Of team
work / ever saw was when King Kelly
/ slid home between the legs Of tbs
base runner in front of him Ke
was on second. and the other man wa
on third. The batsman hit to center
The man was out The man on thirt
started for him. Kel was on thiri
by that time. The runner stopped
/ few yards from the home plate an
the catcher touched him ont. Blu
Kel had caught up. and as the catche
tagged the runner Kelly slippe
under the latter's legs and touche
the plate. That's team work.

Feed Required for 100 Pounds Gain
1t is a common saying among cat
tie feeders that bushel OF corn will
produce five pounds of beef. In or

record in this matter they were asked
How much grain and how much hay
to you estimate II takes on the aver
age to produce 100 pounds Of gain on
(1) calves in winter. (2) calves in
summer on grass, (3) yearlings in
winter, 90 yearlings in summer on
grass, (5) 2-year-olds in winter, (6

The most striking feature Of the re-
plies to this, as to many Of the ques-
tions here discussed, is the wide vari-
ance in the replies. The need Of
more careful observation and more
systematic methods in feeding is here
strikingly shown. For calves In win
ter, the average amount of corn
named In Al replies Is II Ia bushels,
the highest amount 20 bushels, and
the lowest bushels.
For the same in summer, the aver
age amount named in 81 replies is
1913 bushels, the highest 16 bushels,
and the lowest 4 bushels. For year
lings In winter, the average amount
named in AZ replies is 1873 bushels,
the highest 80 bushels, and the lowest
5 bushels. For the same in summer
the average amount in 81 replies is
1871 bushels. the highest 25 bushels.
and the lowest bushels. For 2-year-
olds in winter the average calculated
from 10 replies Is 1876 bushels; the
highest 40 bushels, the lowest 1-2
bushels For the same in summer,
the average Of IS replies is 14.6 BUSH
els, the highest 81 bushels. and the
lowest 6 bushels. Stating the above
results in other terms and using the
averages given above. bushel of corn

Regulating the Roughago.
Ninety-two per cent OF our cores
pondents allow the steers all the
roughage they will eat during the fat
tening period. Only per cent limit
the amount Of roughage.
Forty-0ne per cent Oh tnoSe WIN
reply make a practice of varying the
kind Of roughage in order to make
the steers eat a large amount. The
remainder, So per cent, do not follow
this practice.
Number Of Cattle Fed Together.
How many steers do you run In a
feed lot together7"
OF AT feeders who answer this
questions, about one-third feed from
25 to so head In one yard, and one
third from so to 100; of the remain
der, about one-half more than 100
head in one yard. 1t should be added
that the replies in most cases cores
pond to the total number of cattle
handled by the correspondent. That
is to say. as a rule all the cattle are
fed In one yard, and the exceptional
instances are those in which more
than 100 cattle are fed, in which case
the number recommended is usually
100 head or less. One of the most
successful cattle feeders in Illinois re-
