CAN'T BOOK THE
BALL GAMES

Having pocketed something like
500. 600 In Losses, the big "bookies"
have decided that baseball is not just
what 1t might be as betting medium.
It took them just four weeks TO dis
cover that the national game could
not be reduced to scientific method
OF separating the players from their
money for the simple reason that
those who played knew as much about
the game as those who dealt.
Try as they might the bookmakers
were unable to figure any odds that
would look favorable to the betting
fans that would not at the same time
prove disastrous to the books.
Those who underworld to make bets
yesterday were met with refusals on
the part of bookmakers to accept
their money.

II is reported that the Washington

with what Cantillon has done for the

OF engaging a new manager.
Cantillon has certainly picked up
some excellent young blood. but the
trouble appears to be that he Ii un'

who can recognize the ability OF a

keep the surface always smooth to
fill any small holes or incipient ruts
which may appear, but to do no re-
surfacing until the stC~os have worn

the macadam. Too ofton the resurfac-

By the time the urrer course has

fore stated, most of the wear is near
the middle of the road The sides tend
to build up as the center wears down.
When the road is in this condition it
should be resurfaced with the best
stone which is available 1t should
not be necessary tC put on more than
three inches in the center, and the
stone at the sides may be spread as
thinly as is possible.
Only relatively small part of the
resurfacing cost is included in the
annual cost per mile above stated, but
it is believed that an expenditure of
not exceeding 5000 per mile per year
should be the maximum amount neces-
sary to provide for both ordinary and
extraordinary repairs.

SURF RIDING is ROYAL SPORT.
How the HonoIuIans Toboqean for
Half a Mile on One Wave.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, is a
famous bathing beach. Here, winter
and summer, the surf canoes, or bet
ter yet, the surf boards, come dancing
in on the long rollers and men become
amphibious.
There is no sensation quite COM
parable, says the Travel Magazine, to
riding surf board on Pacific roller.
1t is tObogganing on moving hillside
of water, or, if you are clever enough
to stand up on your board, it is taking
this hillside on single big ski
The beach runs far out before it
shelves into deep water, and at high
tide the breakers begin to mount al
most half mile from the shore line
You go out there with your surf board
and wait for the wave.
You learn to catch it at the right
moment, throw your board inshore
and climb upon it just as the crest of
the roller mounts and catches you
Then on this crest you sail in toward
the shore, to slide down at last when
the wave breaks, down the foaming in
cline into shallow water and churning
foam. 1t is royal sport.

Bank Books Oddly Lost.

Very few slips were made by the
men in charge of the British post Of
fee savings bank system, but many
curious incidents occur that cause
them to be wary. 1t often happens
that bank books are lost. One lost
bank book disappeared in storm
wave, which had swept away all the
effects of a coast guardsman. Another
went down the gullet of a circus ele-
phant third had been eaten by a
goat, another by a pig, while a de-
structive puppy had rent to pieces the
record of another troubled depositor.
All these losses have to be investi-
gated and made good. An army SER
geant complained that he had lost his
deposit book while in the act of
measuring a recruit for the army"

Keep COWS Comfortable.

1t is very Ioor economy to let the
cows roam over the fields in cold
or stormy weather hunting for some
thing to eat. The men who make
the most money out of their COWS keep
them in a wam stable all winter, only
permitting hem to go out in the yard
on warm days. 1t takes feed to pro-
duce body heat and if the COW is not
kept comfortable whole lot of body
heat must come from the feed The
more body heat used the more feed
is needed for bodily maintenance.

To Restore Barren Fruit Trees.

Old trees that have failed to give
profitable crors of fruit may be re-
stored to faithfulness by digging up
the soil around them and pulverizing
it well and then applying a good
dressing of well-rotted manure, mixing
it thoroughly with the soil. couple
of weeks thereafter dressing of
wood ashes left on top of the ground
will be very beneficial For peach,
apricot and plum trees COW manure
gives far the best results. If fertil
izing fails to revive the trees after
giving them a good pruning, they are
past redemption and should give way
to something better Good, rich
soil for three or four years can be
profitably planted to some crop while
the trees in the orchard are growing,
but after that the best plan is to seed
down to clover and use as hog pas
ture, or cultivate without allowing any
crop to grow.

FARM HINTS.

Independence and farm life are
Synonymous terms.
Visit other successful dairymen and
gather up such bits of knowledge as
may be obtained.
If you find it hard work to handle
silage, use a silage fork made espe-
cially for the purpose.
Grass and weeds in the young or
chard make a fine nesting place for
the mice in the winter
The silo continues to grow in popu-
larity. It's the greatest adjunct of
modern dairying yet discovered
Cleansing Bark of Fruit Trees.
Every tree in the orchard should
be washed at least twice a year
with strong soapsuds, but there will
be no necessity for scraping them,
says the Agricultural Epitomist. The
caterpilars should be destroyed as
soon as the nests are seen, which will
end large numbers with amazing
rapidity; the escare of a single pair
m2ans thousands next season. One
of the best assistants to an orchard
is the little wren. If farmers will
give him proper protection by con-
structing boxes with entrances so
small that no bird but a wren can
enter, the srarrow will be unable to
drive it away. AS the wren is an
active and busy creature it destroys
large number of insects every day,
and as it increases rapidly under
favorable circumstances, quite a
large number of item may be secured
and induced to remain in the orchard,
if proper facilities are afforded for
their protection.

MACADAM IN COUNTRY.
Cost of Maintenance Is Not High If
Work Is Done Right.

Someone has said that the mainten-
ance of macadam road should begin
on the day the road is completed. In
a sense this statement is not far from
the truth. 1t is usually not necessary
to do much to the macadam surface
for year or two, but the cutters,
catch basins and culverts must be
kept clean, the weeds along the road
sides cut or, preferably, pulled out by
the roats, and the small gullies in the
shoulders and on the slopes filled be-
fore they become too large.
It is quite possible, particularly If
the read was built in the fall of the
year and trap rock was used, that
loose stones will appear on the surface
the first spring after the road is
opened to travel. These need not
alarm the road official They should
be picked up and stacked for future
use. 1t is astonishing how few
loose stones on the surface of a mac
adam road will have the appearance
of great number, so that the unin-
formed always think, and frequently
state, that the road is going to pieces.
1t is a fact that often such stones will
disappear into the macadam after the
first rain.
Of course the macadam will become
worn in time and need repair. No
one can state accurately how much of
the macadam surface will wear off in
a given time. The dictum, heard so
often, that the macadam will wear
down one-half inch in a years use is
a fallacy. The length of life of
properly built macadam road depends
especially upon the volume and kind
of traffic over it, the quality of the
stone of which it is composed, and
its peculiar fitness to resist the wear
to which it is subjected, and also upon
the climatic conditions of the locality
A certain Massachusetts road built
of an excellent quality of trap rock in
the best manner needed resurfacing
within two years after it was COM
pleted The road was a portion Of
a main thoroughfare just outside of
one of the largest cities in the state.
In addition to the usual heavy traffic
to which such a road must be sub
jected, it was used constantly by drays
loaded with the products of several
mills. There are many miles of state
