rier business produces 1,250, ,000,000 berry baskets, over 1OO,OOOO0 for quart peach baskets, and over 100.000,G0O eight and four pound grape baskets. California alone uses over 50OOO0,OOO carriers of various kinds for fruit shipped east of the Rockies.
 The making of crates Is almost and in some sections wholly separate branch of the carrier industry and is extensive and very profitable. The manufacture of baskets is carried on in from 5000 to 5000 factories" situated all over the United States, and ranging in size and impor- tanee from a single workbench to a vast establishment with wonderful equipment and employing hundreds of persons
 Here at Paducah, Ky, I have visited by far the biggest enterprise of this kind in the world, where almost every bit of the work is done by machinery, and I am told that 1t Is the only factory in the world where the actual process of making the baskets is performed wholly by automatic machines.

OUR FoNDNEss FOR FRUIT.
Americana Paid Producers $17o,ooo,ooo
 Last Year.
E. c. Rowe in Leslie's Weekly.

E. C. Rowe in Leslie's Weekly.
 We Americans possess an amazing fond ness for fruits, and we spend lot of money to gratfy 1t. For strictly orchard products which found markets and pre- sumably were consumed during the year ended June 30, 1905, the American farmer received $S3, ,751 $40, and we raised in Amer lea vineyards during the same period l. 5OO,00O0O0 pounds of grapes, which crop brought our American vineyardists over S15.0OOOOO more. Nearly one-third of these grapes went into wine, but the bigger portion went to the consumer in eight and four pound baskets and were presum- ably eaten American subtroptcal fruits brought the producers nearly $l0,OOO,OOO and we imported from the West Indies and Southern Europe $25.0OO,OOO worth or tropical fruits.
 We paid the American farmer over $25,- 900, 900 for his berries during the short summer season of 1905. and, putting the latter in the lists with fruits, we enriched the producers of the various fruits which found the American markets within the time mentioned above nearly $l70.OOO,OOO
 In selecting our fruits our first choice Is for apples for American orchardists marketed OO000,OO0 bushels of this healthful fruit as against 1600O,0OO bushels of peaches. 100000 bushels of pears and 9,O00, ,00O0 bushels of plums.
 The packing, shipping and retail sale of our fruits and berries give employ ment to thousands of persons and create numerous related industries of no mean size.
 The idea of selling berries from attrac- tive quart baskets found expression less than thirty years ago. and up to very few years ago orchard products and grapes never found the markets packed temptingly In the individual packages But just think how the idea has expand- ed into it's present universal practical adoptionl Why, the manufacturing Of fruit and berry baskets alone brings to the various factories over s70OO,00O annu- ally and the ultimate annual cost to the fruit and berry raisers is, with the mid dlemans profits added between s9,0OO, 900 and s10,O00,00o This branch of the car

 His great rival In the National league, "Honus' Wagner Is just the opposite. Hans grabs his stick at the end holds 1t high about his shoulders and when he swings his legs are spread from one end of the batter's box to the other. Wagner is awkward, standing almost straight, and goes after outcurves and drops with equal avidity Hans often reaches to the far outside of the plate for a low outcurve, and plants it into right center field.
 Hickman stands at the outer edge of the box and swings with his body and shoul- ders. His fondness for the balls on the outside of the pan are kown to oppos- Ing pitchers.

Auburn has always prided itself on its athletic record and when it has not a good football team there Is much wonder expressed in all parts of the State

GREAT BATSMEN COMPARED

 Batting is a natural gift, and to be a success the player must be allowed to swing the willow in his own sweet way.
 Managers have been hired, coaches have been suggested but all to no avail No man can successfully teach the young idea how to hit. I many cases improve- ment has been shown but no teacher ever turned out a great hitter unless the pupil was naturally endowed with that great gift of driving the ball where the fielder aint."
 One of Johhny McGraw's intimate friends tells how "Muggsy" went to work to solve curves For nine years McGraw had batting average of .3S0. One day l asked him how he learned to hit.
 Don't know" replied the Giant man. ager. T simply used my eye and my arms and figured it out"
 At that time MeGraw was playing un- der Hanlon, now manager of Cincinnati One day Hanlon attempted to show Me Graw how to hit On one occasion he corrected him sharply: That set me to thlnking," said McGraw and l went to my room and dug up lot of old records dn these l saw that Hanlon had never hit as good as 300; that is for period of two or three seasons, while l had been hittng over 300 right along. Therefore | asked myself, What right has Hanlon to show me how to hit?'
 Other great batters will give the same mysterious reply. It's the natural tact and no amount of tutoring will make an average batter a champion.
 In the past few years Yale. Harvard, Princeton and other colleges have en- ployed coaches to teach them how to hit The experiment was futile, and no hitters were developed that did not already pos sess the gift.
 To be a successful batter a ball player must have an eye that naturally guages angles, speed and distance. His arm must work In unison with his eye. When he possesses those faculties he has the qual- ifications of a good batter.
 No Two Bat Alike.
 Take the great batters of today and you will find that no two of them stand at the plate alike Long since astute managers have found that it is a useless waste of time to attempt a correction of habits early acquired. To be successful a hall player must do everything in per fectlv natural manner. This is paramount in batting Any way that you place ball nlaver so that he will swing awkwardly at the ball will ruin him as batter.
 The greatest failing of all batters is what Is technically known as pulling" This is believed to have come from an early timidity at the plate, due 10 rear of being hit. The "puller Will race the pitcher with both feet squarely\ in the

It is said that the time has gone by when the University will be content to take a back seat In this line of educational de- velopment or allow It's teams of what ever nature 10 fall way down the line In point of victory winnings
 Having concluded that athletics have not had all that was due from the fae- ulty In the past, an expert has been en- gagged to take thls department in charge In the person of Dr. J. W. II. Pollard a Dartmouth man, but just out of a post graduate course in Harvard. In addition to his knowledge of the mechanical side of gymnastics, he Is a physician with all the knowledge of medicine and anatomy his years and the best of instruction can give him. His selection was a result of carefully going over the names of many who had been suggested and he Is re- garded as the best that could be had at any price.
