BY L WEST,

The great advancement in training
methods in practically every branch of
sport is a feature that has attracted
wide attention of late. The old fash
Toned trainer and his heroic measures
nre TO- a thing of the very distant past,
much to the betterment of the ath-
letes who once gladly and ignorantly
sought his services.
The pugilistic trainer, for instance,
now pays little attention to building
up gigantic muscles on his candidate
for ring fame. His object is to make
his man fast and enduring. But Il
few years z trainers wanted mus
Gle, big punches of it, and as Il result
they produced Sharkeys. Ruhlins, Ma
hers and Sullivans that could meet II
freight train head-on and put the whole
railroad out of business. Yet these
men later learned to regret their im-
pressive physical development when
they met men who could fight three
rounds TO their one and finish with en-
ergy still in reserve.
Endurance and speed will win over
brute strength every time. provided the
weights of the men are balanced rea-
sonably. 1t took ring trainers twenty
years to learn this.
The advancement in ring methods,
striking as it is, has not been more pro-
nounced than that in baseball training.

paigns in going through a dull routine
of cut and dried work that often made
men stale by the time the season
opened. The pitchers would do little
else than pitch, the catchers would
catch hours at a time, the fielders
would field, and the basemeu would
pick up grounders ana throw the ball
around the bases from morning till
noon or from noon till night. The play

could do one thing well so long a; h lr

Manure %sprender.

In a recent prize contest American
Agriculturist asked farmers to state
what implements they most needed on
their farms. It. snow reports that al
most three out Of every o u OF the
100 farmers who sent replies to the
question said they wanted a manure
spreader. Either they had none. or,
having an old one and recognizing its
value in labor saving and profit max
ing, they wanted a new one. Another
point about this particular implement
is that the demand for it, as shown in
the central west as in the middle or
New England states. The call for gaso.
line engines. telephones, etc, is almost
equally great.

According to The Letter..

There are some literal minded per-
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit of the law, but who consider it
necessary TO enter into compromises
with the letter. OF such was an old
citizen of Hopkinton. y. H., a good
many years ago, and his juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr..
Lord in the records of the town.
The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word,
but had no computations in going
round it. Once he wished to buy a GER
tain tract of land, and when the owner
named the price lie exclaimed:
Il won't give it! tell you | will
never give it,
The owner did not yield nevertheless.
A few days afterward the old man
called again. He said nothing about
the land. but stepped into the owners
barn and picked up a fail.
whats that?' he asked.
"That? Oh, that's a fail"
80 you call that a fail, do you?
Well. what would you take for it?'
The owner named a very small sum.
"Now. I'll tell you what I'll do" con
tinued the old man. "I1l give you the
price you mentioned for your land and
this fail. And you mustn't forget the
fail 1t must be included In the deed"
SO the legal instrument was duly
made out, signed and delivered, record
ing the purchase of a certain tract of
land situated thus and so and bounded
as follows. and also a certain fail"

SEED SEPARAIlNG
riculture has suggested as a satisfac-
tory means Of separating light from
heavy seed the use of a current of air
as follows:
A simple and effective device for the
purpose is shown in the figure. The
material necessary for constructing
this machine can be obtained by to.
bacco growers from almost any chem
ical supply house. The foot bellows
(A) is connected by mean of a rubber
tube OBJ to the valve tube (CJ. The
glass tube D) is fitted with a rubber
cork (E), in which the valve tube Is
inserted. The top of the cork is COW
cred with Il piece of finely woven
gauze in order to prevent the seeds
from entering the valve tube. About
an ounce of seed for separation is plac-
ed in the glass tube, and a current of
air is injected by means Of the foot
bellows. The strength of this current
must be regulated by the valve (C) so
that only the dirt, chaff and light seed
will be blown out of the top of the
tube. Ii is advisable TO screen out all
of the large particles of hulls and trash
before putting the seed in the tube.
1t is claimed to be easily within the
reach of every tobacco grower to select
his seed plants in the am outlined
and to thereby improve his crop with
out any extra expense and very little

SHEEP FEEDING.
4 Great Business as IL Is Carried on
Ar0uad Chicago.

ArOund Chicago.
Sheep feeding has become one of the
most extensive live stock businesses IN
the lear Chicago counties. Some OF
the plants have "A capacity of 1000 a
year. There are pastures for sheep
that include not less than 5000 acres,
some Of ii the finest land in the state.
All of these plants have their own
grain elevators, machinery for chop
ping feed. dipping pools and shearing
plants operated by electric power. One
of the feeding places has a reservoir
that holds 100000 gallons of water.
AS may be conjectured, these hungry
sheep consume an immense AMOUNT OF
feed, II ii comes from the adjacent
farms of Illinois, thus affording the
farmers "A paying market for their
products. Some of the farmers let
their pasture lands at so much a head
per month.
These plants make it easy for a dro-
yer To handle a bunch of sheep for the
market. In a great many instances he
doesn't pay a cent for the feeding until
they are sold. When they are reloaded
on h cars and shipped to the stock
yards the charges are placed on the
manifest, and the amount is collected
from the sales at the yards. In in.
stances the stock is shipped across the
Atlantic, the drover paying nothing out

A sheep buyer who brought In stock
from Montana says that sheep are val
ued high i'm the far west. 1t was diff
cult for him to buy as many as he
brought. He says that the reason for
this is that there is now a good market
for wool and cheap pastures on the
foothills and high lands of the Rocky
region are to be lad. Even far to the
east the range is cheap, and practically
the only cost is the employment of
herders. The shipper in this instance
paid as high as $3.50 for lambs. while

en-, as Farm Journal remarks in figuring
a little house that just ills the bill for a
place TO start all kinds of garden plants.
The plan of the house is sufficiently
shown in the cut. A little stove can be
used to keep up the needed warmth at
night, or a small hot water heater can
be put in, with pipes running along be
meath the bench.
The seeds should all be sown in boxes
in order that the latter may be turned
end for end, as the sun draws" the
plants toward the light. The house
should face a little east of south and
need not be more than six feet wide,
with such length as is desired. Have
