GAMES TOMORROW.
Decatur at Rock Island.

Springfield at Cedar Rapids.

The Islanders took two from Spring
field yesterday and made it three in
row. In the first game it was 4 to I.
and in the second it was shutout to
o. Rather shabby way for Mcconnell S
men TO treat the Senators on their fare
well appearance Sharp fielding by the
Islanders and the excellent work of
the pitchers brought the victories
while the Senators assisted some with
costly errors
In the second game the Islanders
raped the ball at will. Taylor being
given a severe lambasting. Scott was
invincible and held the Senators down
at all times. Seven hits were given
the men from the capital, but these
were scattered and no scores resulted.
Swalm's work in right field was spec
tacular and he brought down several
flies that looked good for hits. His
timely hit for three bases in the sew
enth and his single in the fifth brought
in four runs. Everybody hit the ball
and punched the hits, too.
Four singles punched.
Taylor's undoing began in the fifth

and he also hit the ball safely, Walters
going to third and Rudd to second.
Mcconnell hit to Taylor and Walters
was shut off at the plate The bases

the sphere and Swain hit a nice one
The ball got away from Smith apd
Scott also sprinted home. Carlisle
struck out and the smuggling exhibition
ended until the next inning. In the
sixth Wanner singled and Vandine sac
rificed Johnny stole third. Novacek's
throw was wild and again a score re-
suited. The seventh was a repetition
of the fifth only the Islanders hit the
ball little harder. Mcconnell hit for
three bases and scored on SCOTS sim
gle. Swain hit another for three bags
scoring Scott and sprinted home on
Carlisle's single 4,
Hits Scarce in First.
The first of the double header was
not so much a smashing performance
as the second. Moore was the box ar
fist for the Senators in this game and
kept the hits down to four for the Is
landers. He was wild, however in the
seventh, and three bases on balls COM
bined with a single and a three base
hit was responsible for the four tallies.
Havlik and Zalusky worked for the Is
landers and had Donnelly's men up
tree. The pitcher from Iowa yielded
but two hits. A free pass, stolen
base and a single by Donnelly saved
the Senators from a shutout

Only one error in Is innings.
Havlik can pitch some, too, it seems
DOnnelly wanted some of the games
here and he is pretty blue. The set
back has probably put his team out of
the pennant race.
Both Swain and Wanner went after
IA high one in right and the crowd did
not know which one caught it I!
Swain threw it in.
The sign on the left field fence still
advises the spectators to vote for
Bruner for sheriff. though it does not
explain how it can be done.
Though Hank Walters was under the
knife Thursday he went in to help. out
in the outfield and saved the day with
his smash in the first game
Taylor is about the size of pitcher
with Rock Island for a time last sea
son whose first name was Pat He had
something with him for a few innings
but when he got sore it was % for him.
Vandine neglected to run one out in
the fourth that Cameron mussed up
giving him ample time to make first
and probably for Wanner to score from
second. The side was out on the play.
Swain picked off two line drives in
the first game yesterday either of
which would have been disastrous for
Rock Island had they gotten away. 1t
was one of the prettiest exhibitions of
fielding seen here this year.
When Rudd hunted in the fifth Tay-
lor and Burg got their heads together
and 'let 'er roll" till the runner was
safe Finally Burg picked it up on the
line. If he had waited a trifle longer
it would undoubtedly have gone into
foul ground, and that was when the fun
started
Mcconnell hit one sQuarely between
Taylor's legs in the eighth and it would
have gone for a hit had not Scharn-
weber been running to cover second
ON Cooks steal. He gathered the ball
up in one hand and shot it 70 first and
Cameron got it over in time to double
Cook at third.
The roofing yesterday was the most
effective done here this season. 1t was
not excessively noisy. but it had the
Senators sore in both games. The i'm
itation of an automobile getting up mo-
ton preparatory to taking the high
speed when Taylor was doing his fancy
windup stunt was enough to take the
mind of any pitcher off his work and it
had its effect.
The result of his fight for the NOM
nation for sheriff didn't appear to have
much effect on the roofing of Os Brun-
er who occupied his accustomed seat
in the grandstand from which he led

Slow walking Horses.

The character of a horses walk Is
largely the result of the training he re-
ceives during the first year or two OF
his use, says the Maine Farmer. There
is occasionally q horse so full of vim
as to do his best at any pace when not
restrained. But the majority will cas-
lily acquire the habit OF taking a slow,
dragging walk even if spirited and
ready for a good clip at other gaits.
The slow walking habit is ordinarily
acquired by being driven during their
earlier use with slow, old or deadhead
animals when at work on the farm,
and when on the road the same gait is
retained or varied only by a jog trot.
We have found it preferable to train
the colt to driving single first, or az
least to give him considerable single
driving before he has been drilled down
with work. Do not allow him to take
any gait but the walk for a time. he
will then be so anxious to get back to
the stable and home surroundings that
he will soon learn to surprise you with
his walking powers. Later on and dur
ing the first year or two of his use do
not allow him TO do ony jogging. Let
it be sharp CLIP when trotting and
an even, rapid walk when in the latter
gait. Just as much road will be GOV.
cred as when long continued jogging
and slow walking are allowed.

THE SHEPHERD
AND HIS FLOCK

Some ten years ago / sold a small
flock of sheep that / had owned since
the fall of 1888 on account of short
pasture, since which l have owned no
sheep until last summer, when /
bought another small flock of fifty-tw7
head, writes an Indiana farmer In
American Sheep Breeder. These are ali
common or scrub sheep except five re-
corded Shropshires. After buying my
first lot of sheep was undecided as TO
whether | should bly, or breed pure
bred sheep or mixed blood, bit after
due consideration l decided to keep and
breed the Sbropshires only as soon as /
can get enough of them to occupy my
pasture field.
About tie last of August l turned
my sheep into red clover pasture which
was in full bloom and thought they
were all right until l found one down
and seven or eight which were badly
bloated. They were turned on the clo-
yer in the morning, and found them
in this condition just before dark. The
one that was down died, and | saved
the rest by putting three-quarter Inch
rope in the mouth of each and tying
over the top of the sleeps head. The
idea is not new, but it saved my sheep,
all but the one.

Care of Breeding Ewes.

My experience in handling breeding
ewes especially is very little housing If
any unless the weather does not per-
nit running at large, says a Kentucky
farmer in American Agriculturist. If
the weather is moderately dry and not
bitter cold allow them to run in pas
ture. Ewes should have some grain,
shelled corn, oats and bran about three
weeks before lambing Give them a
small feed twice per day till lambing.
Afterward increase the feed gradually
with alfalfa or clover hay, all they will
taken that they have dry bedding.
Keep their quarters dry and ventilated.
Young stock need but little grain IN
less preparing for market.

The sheen Barn.

In building a suitable pen, as in 9TH
er successful farm operations, notice
should be taken of the preference of
sheep for resting on dry roaFS as COM
pared with grassy plots. This charac-
teristic demonstrates that the building
site of a sheep barn cannot be too high
and dry for the best comfort of the
stock, for if there Is one thing more
than another that sheep do not like It
is dampness, and to insure perfect dry
ness in a pen it must be well lighted.

Keep the Hogs Warm.

Experiments have shown that a saw
ing of about % per cent in the feed
bill is made when hogs are sheltered
so they are comfortable. 1t is better
for the hogs to be warm enough, so
that they do not lie in a pile all the
time. They move about more and take
needed exercise and are less liable to
catch cold when they do not get up a
sweat and then go out in the cold to
feed.

Though the book made him popular in
his home town. Mr.. Churchill removed
from it to Cornish, y. H., where a
summer colony of artists and literary
people has sprung up. At first Mr..
Churchill, too, expected to make New
Hampshire only his summer home but
he liked it so well he decided to stay
the year round. He is young man
still. He will not be thirty-five until
November. 1t is not yet ten years
since his first novel, The Celebrity"
appeared. AS Il boy he had an ambi-
ton to become an admiral of the navy
and so went to the Annapolis acad-
envy, but he found that writing rather
than fighting was his forte and so
turned aside to journalistic paths.
He had hardly turned thirty when he
went to Cornish His neighbors liked
him. and he and his wife entertained
them. 500 at a time, at their beautiful
home. Harlakenden House. AS one of
the old inhabitants of Cornish eX-
pressed it: Cornish is lookin' up
within tn last half dozen years
We've got the best sculptor in III
world, and Mr. Churchill ken stay in
harness with tn best on 'em when il
comes to writin' novels. They tell me
his stories are Ell real and lifelike o.
newly Matched chickens"
So he was sent to represent the Cor
,i-I, - IL, -
legislature and served two terms II
was supposed that the colonel-he has
been colonel on the governors staff
would be a candidate for the state
senate and perhaps after that for con.
gress. But his admirers decided that
such promotion was too slow. The
Lincoln Republican club proposed him
for the nomination of its party for
governor and he accepted its supper.
He promises that if nominated and
elected he will work for these things:
Abolition of the railroad lobby in the
legislature, a direct primary law and
more equitable state taxation.
The capital of New Hampshire is
Concord. In this connection the
young novelist's welwishers say that
throughout his career his winning let
ter has been c. AS young man he
edited the Cosmopolitan. His first book
was 1.-THE Celebrity" and on Richard
Carvel" he won his place in literature.
Then came THE Crisis" and later
'The Crossing" and at Croydon he
found the hero for "Coniston." II the
luck of the Cs follows him he will in
place of Churchill of Cornish become
Churchill OF Concord.
