The loss of one of the star twirlers will mean great deal to the local baseball aggregation and especially at the time when each game alters the chances for the Barons to land in the first division, and Rip" can be depended on to win the majority of the games he pitches.
 hasan is very popular with the mem oers of the team and they are all very solicitious regarding his condition. It is certain that the sick man will not be able to play another game this season even II he pulls through the attack.
 Wild rumors were current about mid night that Ragan was dead. but they were without foundation. The condition of the player was slightly improved at o'clock this morning and more hope for his recovery was entertained.

SLAGPILE NOTES

Williams and Holly were playing ball in real championship style yesterday. Williams robbed several Barons of hits by his fast fielding He accepted eleven chances without an error, and some of them were extremely difficult grounders. Holly made only one error with eleven chances.
 "Ginger" Clarke struck out every man who faced him in the second Inning yes- terday. He was pitching the ball that wins. Only three hits in twelve innings and one of those scratch, is pitching some. And at that one of the hits came after the third player should have been retired. Alcock's error allowed an extra i hit.
 | Niles had two bad innings late in the game and his errors would have lost the game but for "Ginger's" pitching The criticism of the playing of the New Orleans team in Mondays game had a telling effect. From the jump yesterday every member of the pennant winners played ball and as result the fans were given pretty and exciting game. oOl1e Ol Lne 9enCdnS Cdfut lo DlIHiiiiB- ham with the kindly idea of helping the Barons by allowing them to win three games. While the Barons need the games in order to finish in the first divs- ion, still the players and fans would rath- CT loose hard fought contest than have one presented them on a silver waiter. In Baronville the fans have always stood for sport. They have always want ed the team to win-but by hard, con- sistent playing, and not by the grace of the opposing team.
 The Pelican players say that since they were roasted by the local press for loaf ing they will forsake their kindly inten- tions of giving the Barons three games and will play the same old game that they did when they were fighting for the rag. Many people thought that Brett would have been able to get Smiths fly in the ninth if he had not fallen just as he started running back. He might have caught the ball, but it would have been a startling catch if he had.
 Brett" was playing close in behind | third base, as Smith is left hand bat ter, and is more apt to put ball in right l field. Therefore the chances were all against the left fielder. Smith may not have made two bags on the hit but 1t was certainly good for one and that one hit was enough to score Niles from sec ond and tie the game.
 l It is about time to start the games at 3:3O o'clock. After the ninth inning yes- terday it was almost too dark to play ball, and the days lengthen rapidly now.

Spraying the Apple.

In spraying the apple for scab and
rust for the first application spray with
copper suIphate solution or, better, with
strong bordeaux mixture before the
buds start For the second application
give another spraying with bordeaux
mixture as soon as the blossoms have
fallen. After this two or three spray
ings with bordeaux mixture may be
given at intervals of three or four
weeks.
For the bud moth add paris green
or lead arsenate to bordeaux mixture
for first and second sprayings given for
Scab.
For the codling moth add paris green
or lead arsenate to the second spraying
with bordeaux mixture Give like APP
plication after about two months to
catch later broods of the insect. 1t is
recommended for the first spraying Civ
en- that nozzle throwing a rather
coarse spray be used, so that larger
quantities of the poison will be depos-
tied in the calyx end of the apple,
where the caterpillar of this insect usu-
ally enters-A. E. Stene, Rhode Island.

How to Choose a song.

Choose a song that tells a tale if pos
sible The vocal qualifications of most
amateurs are so equal that the singer
whose words have some tangible mean
ing in them, though set to a simple
melody. is far more likely TO be appre-
ciated than the ''moonlit river type of
love ballad. Songs with complicated
roulades or long, holding notes are best
avoided in the majority of cases Re
member that very popular songs are be-
ing sung by more gifted vocalists than
yourself on every hand, and you will
suffer by comparison. There are plenty
of good songs that are but little known,
and one of these, even if indifferently
rendered, is far more pleasing than the
latest thing from some popular opera,
which everybody has heard. Do not as
rule, choose a song with a difficult ac-
compartment. The amateur vocalist is
to very great extent at the mercy of
the amateur accompanist, and the lat
ter is often weak in execution and may
be the means Of spelling one of your
most ambitious efforts.

TOULOUSE GOOSE.

rican, but more so than the Emden.
The season $ output is from twenty to
forty eggs per bird, geese two or three
years old laying more than very young
geese
Their disposition is quiet, and they
are less troublesome to care for than
some other breeds and will get along
very well in a field without much wa
ter. Breeders usually keep the geese
laying as long as possible Matching
most of the eggs with hens
The eggs hatch in thirty days, and a
goose of average size will cover about
fifteen For the first few days they are
liable to be chilled, but after the first
week they are more hardy and require
little care.
The usual plan is to confine them in
small pens or yards which can be
moved to fresh grass every day, be-
cause they require considerable pas
ture. Besides the grass or clover, they
are fed Oh a mixture of Indian meal
and shorts mixed with water, but
squeezed almost entirely dry before
feeding. When three or four weeks
old they should be given wide range
but within an enclosure When fat
tening, they are confined and fed a
mixture of ground grains with beef
scraps, gradually increasing the pro-
portion of cornmeal and beef scraps
until the food is about 10 per cent
beef scraps and 90 per cent meal. Tou-
louise geese reach a weight of ten
pounds at ten weeks of age and as a
rule are sold more probably at that
weight as green geese

Feeding of Bran to Poultry.

1t is certainly excellent for poultry
and one point in the favor of bran is
that it contains much larger proper
ton of lime than any other cheap food
derived from grain, and, as the shells
of eggs are composed of lime. it is es-
sential that food rich in lime should
be provided writes A. v Meersch in
Western Poultry Journal. It may be
urged that the use of oyster shells will
provide lime, but it viii be found that
it is the lime in the food that is most
serviceable because il is in form that
can be better digested and assimilated
than carbonate of lime Glover is GER
tainly also rich in lime, and when
mash of cut clover and bran is given
TO the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter as a
source from which to provide lime for
the shells of eggs.

We cannot be too careful about the
water supply of our stock, says Farm
and Live Stock Journal. Too often it
is allowed to stand and stagnate in
tank, trough or pail in summer, while
in winter it is supplied ice cold or is
frozen over most of the time, so that
some of the stock may not gain ac-
cess to it during the entire day Some
Of the animals may obtain all they
want, while others are kept away from
the tank by those which are bosses"
Dehorning the cattle will prevent this
latter trouble to a great extent.
The COW requires a liberal supply Of
water She can subsist on one drink
day, but two or more are highly de-
sirable. Supplying cows individually
in the stable by means of pals or
troughs establishes conditions which
are apt to breed filth and stale water.
A clear spring or creek is an ideal wa
tering place in summer, but in winter
it may be frozen or require long jour
ney through the snow to reach it, and
with such conditions the COW will often
remain thirsty rather than brave the
trip to the drinking place.
Experiments have shown that an or
binary COW will drink from ifty to 100
pounds of water per day, or about four
pounds of wafer to each pound of dry
feed consumed 1t has been found that
when grain ration was replaced by
roots the water consumption fell off
materially when fed on dry feed the
amount drunk was about double what
it was when fed on green pasture. The
New York experiment station concludes
that each cow should have access to
eight gallons of water daily. The same
station found that when cows were dry
they drank but IS per cent of the
amount these same cows drank during
lactation.
In trial in Germany 1t was found
that when cows which had been given
water twice daily were changed to
stalls having a constant supply the
milk yield increased about one pound
daily with no decrease of fat content

HOW ABOUT SPRAYING?
A New York Fruit Grower Says All
Up to Date Farmers Spray.


Up to Date Farmers Spray
The ngmber of fruit growers in this
vicinity northwestern Columbia and
southern Rensselaer, countless who
spray is gradually increasing. l think
it safe to say that practically all the
good up to date farmers are now spray
ing. Spraying is comparatively new
thing 1t is disagreeable job and
comes i'll the most busy time of the
year. One is working by faith, not by
sight, always a harder task. Most of
the pumps and appliances for spraying
are too weak and imperfect
Then, too it is not rare to meet a
man who thinks bordeaux mixture will
kill insects and paris green destroy
plant lice Nevertheless better and
more intelligent work is being done
each year That the advantage is real
and apparent is evidenced by the fact
just cited that spraying is increasing.
Another very significant fact is that
the best buyers will hardly go to look
at an orchard that has not been spray
ed The spread of the San Jose scale
is compelling many to spray who new
err did so before, and the very thorough
work that must be done to have any
effect on this pest means better spray
ing all along the line-H E. Van Al

Egg Eating Hens.

Answering an inquiry for the best
method of making nests for egg eat
ing hens that are too valuable to have
their necks wrung," Homer w Jack
son says i'll National Stockman:
All such nest plans are open to the
general objection that the hens very
often refuse to lay in them, and it is
better to cure the habit directly. which
can be done without any change in
your present nests except to darken
them, if this has not already been
done Then blow an egg and fill the
shell with paste made with two parts
flour or meal and one part cayenne pep
per and put it in the nest. When it is
gone put in another and collect the
fresh eggs as soon as they are laid.
Usually two or three doctored eggs will
effect permanent cure. Give the hens
something to do and supply plenty of
oyster shell, SO that they will not be
tempted by broken or thin shelled eggs.

OF all the freak remedies that are

signs of Pregnancy.

There should be no difficulty in know
ing the condition of heifer If she is
expected to calve in three months. Not
only the figure will indicate the condi-
ton, but at this period the calf Is alive
and its motions may be seen in the
dam, especially when she is drinking
cold water. In addition to this very
satisfactory evidence the calf may be
felt by pressing with the hand on the
right side of the COW as one stands
with his back to the animals head
Placing his right hand on the cows
back, he presses the palm Of the left
hand a little above the udder and eight
or ten inches in front of the stifle. The
body Of the calf will be plainly felt,
and if it is pressed back a little it will
return to It's position with perceptible
movement About this same time aft
