they put Dick STRAUSS in the box
he was dead easy.
Edgar VOTERS lead off follow
ed by Steve Holchak both famed
out Geo. Wentworth got his base
and then came A. B. Dunn to the
bat, smashed one out in right
field, bringing Wentworth home.
This started the fire works. And
with two on bases Steve Holchak
hit the ball square on the nose,
making a home run off of Dick
Strauss, This held Halletsville
for while.
A number of pretty catches
were made by the Sinner boys
in the field, one especially by
Victor VOTERS and alse A. B.
Dunn also caught a pretty long
reach fy-on the head Dunn
said it wasn't him, it was all in

this in other plays.

Ventilation of Stables.

Every good COW stable should have
about 800 cubic feet Of air space per
COW. That sounds like big space
800 cubic feet per cow. It Is not, how
ever, too much space, You should not
have your cows all dumped up In a
heap. And I would not advise you to
have the air space all above the cattle.
Have II all around them-that Is, have
good wide passages and give the cows
lots of room In their stalls. Do not
crowd them down to two and one-haif
feet, but give them three, or, better
still, three and one-half feet. speak
from experience when say that that
kind Is profitable stable. ! have
seen both kinds tried. Where the ven
tilation was practically equal and
where a much larger space was given
the cows they were In very muoS bet
ter health. have In mind two farms,
In one | should Judge the air space Is
about 700 feet, not quite up to the
standard, and In the other | should
Judge there Is about 800 feet of air
space, long way below. In one the
cows are continually getting sick, and
the milk is not UP to the standard of
quality or quantity. In the other
stable there Is never any complaint
about the health OF the animals or the
quantity or quality Of the milk. This
Ia a result of having sufficient air

Goinq II Blind.

Why are dairymen so willing to 60 1t
blind? I heard man say the other
day he did not intend to take time to
test any COW In his herd until he had a
hundred registered cows In milking.
He said he had no time to run the Bah
cock, though he had fine steam one
connected with the boiler. thought
how much money he could save by
wedding as he grows the herd. The
undesirable sire could be spotted at
once when his helfers came In and dis
carded, while the valuable one, the one
that nicked kindly with his strain of
cattle, could be used more freely.
Numbers In herd amount to little. I
had at one time twelve cows at the
head of the herd that made In yecr
8,1S2 pounds Of butter, while at the
foot of the herd 1t took over nineteen
to equal them in production. These
last nineteen made an average Of 303
pounds Of butter In year, SO they
