Pile Recital of a Tragedy of the
Baseball Field.

Over in the vacant lot back of Jimmy

rors We're engaged in a baseball duel to
the death. 1t was the last half of the
eighth inning. The score stood 5 to 4
i'm favor of the Mudlarks. Jimmy Jones
the best pitcher of them all was in the
box for the Mudlarks. and the way he
sped them through was working havoc
with the hopes of he Terrors.
The Terrors We're at bat. A man
passed to first, an error. and they had
a runner at third. Jimmy Jones settled
down to pitch. and struck the next two
batters out. A run would tie the score.
Grimly the Mudlarks settled to the
task of shutting out the Terrors. EMS
excitement reigned. Jimmy Jones
stood, serene and strong as an adamant
wall, and the best batter of the Ter
rors approached the batteE's box.
A Mudlark r%ooter's thin and strained
voice arose: Tree tWisters and a fan
out. Jimmy. De boys are all wild you!"
Deliberately Jimmy Jones twirled the
ball in his fingers preparatory to

Mudlarks rested with him. =.
At length Jimmy Jones gave a final
twirl to the ball. swung his arm about
like a windmill. and prepared to send
the whizzing sphere across the plate.
But a sound broke the stiffness.
Across the back fence that skirted the
field a woman's voice came clear,
shrill, not to be denied:
Jimmy Jones. you come home and
rock your little brother to sleep this
minute!"
Slowly the tense muscles of Jimmy
Jones relaxed. The ball stopped in mid
air. The great arm Of the Mudlarks'
star pitcher dropped as if paralyzed. A
look of great pain came upon his face
and his fingers grew %nerveless and
limp.

the Mudlark rooter. Finish out de

But Jimmy Jones was undone. He
put his suspenders back on his shout

ME THOUGHTS ON MILKING

Milk is an animal product just as
much as the flesh that we use as meat
is animal product, and like flesh it I'm
dergoes deleterious changes; only that
these changes take place much more
readily In the milk because it is mo- so
staple an article as the flesh.
Practically all these changes are due
to bacteria, and the less of the bacteria
that gets into milk the longer 1t will
remain good. Therefore cleanliness in
the dairy is a very important point and
one that is not given the attention by
the average farmer thai it should re-
ceive, and more especially by the dairy
man who sells his milk in the cities
and towns to be used as milk. A very
great difference in the quality of the
milk can be brought about by a little
care and attention in keeping the
stables and COWS clean. especially at
milking time. Another important item
that 1t be properly strained as being
drawn from the udder or very 500 aft
er, and where kept in the barn during
the time of milking the pail should be
covered. Theoretically, of the milk
could be drawn directly into a covered
pail 1t should be comparatively free
from bacteria, n in order to accom-
plish this as we'll as to save much
time and 'ahor I. milking several milk
ing machines have been devised, but
so far all have been failures except one
recently, when a milking machine
known as the Observation-Disclosures
mel COW mixer was put upon the mar
ket. This machine. as we understand
IT., works by drawing the air from a
pail, much on the same principal as a
cafe sucking. The machine consists Of
caps that fit over the teats instead of
tubes that u UP into the teats and
these tcat caps are attached to the pail
by means of rubber tubes. The air is
pumped out of the pail, thus causing
a Vaculn n this draws the milk from
the teats, then by allowing the air in
the pail 1t checks the drawing on the
teat and after giving the teat time to
fill 1t is drawn out again, etc. According
TO bulletin No. AZ recently issued by the
Storrs' agricultural experiment sta
tion. of Storrs, Con-, this machine
promises to be a success. and if it does
it will not only deprive dairying of
much of the drudgery, but also fur
nish a much better class Of milk, pro-
vided the machine is properly taken
care OF. AT first the milk drawn by tie
machine was found to contain more
bacteria than that drawn by hand, and
it was discovered that this was part
ly due to faulty construction Of the
machine and partly to the fact that the
machine was not properly washed and
taken care of. and when the machine
was properly adjusted and cleaned the
bacterial content of the milk MATERIAL
ly lcssened.
tical as it seems to be it will allow
the farmer to keep more COWS with less
help n give him a better grade o.
milk.

This is a contagious Inflammation of

more rapid course and the animal loses

to another by Introducing a diseased
animal into the herd, or some of thS
healthy herd getting mixed with the
diseased ones, and it spreads from ond
animal to another in the herd. y
The first symptom is a slight waters

swelling Of the lids and cloudiness of
the ball, which more or less rapidly in
creases until the eye looks white,
or blush white, While it may ave a
blood rcd appearance around the edges.

will look red with only a small white

USE OF HENNA.

Henna may be applied in several
ways. but the simplest and easiest
method for the amateur is to use u tea
made of the leaves.
In preparing the tea, use an ounce Of
leaves to a quart Of water and boil
the whole down to one pint.
The stain should be applied to the
roots of the hair with a small brush.
Next. with AN ordinary hair brush.
distribute the henna through the hair.
Care must be taken to spread the stain
evenly, or the couture the next day will
be covered with a succession of red
dish streaks.
A thorough drying either in the sun
or by heat concludes the tinting pro-

What Affected Dad C!arkc's Eyes.
When Dad Clarke was pitching for
the New York club he was known as
.-,o 80 Wv .,Ncf anrnl,fSto y1o .-hrS In
major league baseball, and Dad lived
up to his reputation.
AS a pitcher who dealt in glazing
personalities his equal has never been
seen, although 1T is probable that Curt
Welch was a close second to Dad when
a language that would hardly be per-
mitted in any ones parlor.
Dad used to detest the umpires and
he would try to bull them on any
and all occasions. For this reason the
men who handled the watch in those
days We're perfectly willing to shoot
it into the che;ty Mr.. Clarke and the
urlpires then We're men; they had to
be.
Once Clarke was pitching a game
against the Chicago club and if ever
he wanted to trim one team worse than
another, that team was Anson's.

night out with the boys, Dad was un-
able to locate the plate, and the um-
