The only explanation Of the mystery
that the detective could offer was that the

for the scene shifted so rapidly
that none but the scorekeeper
could keep track of the teams and
players. Both took nothing, with
rim round It. and Carrizozo
came in the first of the eighth to
break the tie; but there was moth
ing doug, and IL was up to them
to mold Stanton down in the lat
ter half of the inning. This,
they were in fair way of doing;
had two men out aud, apparently,
no score in sight. The third
man shot a grounder to short, the
ball was fielded and sent to first
ahead of the runner, but again,
late decreed an error: the first
baseman dropped the ball, the
runner was safe, and and long
fly by Scott brought him home
and Scott went to third. A wild
throw by the pitcher brought the
big stick man home. Though
Stanton was again sent To the
field, these two runs made the
game stand five to three, with only
one more inning for Carrizozo to
make good. The ninth was an
other Waterloo for Carrizozo, and
the game was over.
We do not wish to convey the
idea that our boys were the only
error-makers, nor that the two
batters mentioned in the Stanton
team as having made such good
hits were the only stickers in that
club; but we do say that the err

Cured in each instance at crucial
moments, and were therefore
more fatal and noticeable.
These two teams have again
been matched, and will cross bats
on the Carrizozo diamond for two

the two games.

TWO GOOD BALL GAMES.

ball games were played by the
Fort stanton and Carrizozo clubs.
Inc first game was played at
Captain Saturday afternoon aud
the second at Fort Stanton the
following morning. Carrizozo
took the first, and it took twelve
innings to decide it, tn. result at
the end of the twelfth standing

Fort walked off with the Sunday
game, winning by a score OF

The Carrizozo boys left here
early Saturday morning, in two
rigs, with eleven players, the
m ,nager, two rooters aud driver
for the four-horse team, crossed
the big hill and landed at Capt.

were met by a committee of citi-
zsns aud conducted to the two
hotels OF the town and their wants
supplied. The Stanton boys ar
rived about 1 o'clock, aud the
word to "play ball" was given at
? o'clock.
Fort Stanton went to the bat,
scored a goose.egg, and returned
the compliment when Carrizozo
went 10 bat. La the second, third
aud fourth Fort Stanton failed
to score, likewise did Carrizozo,
except in the second, when they
succeeded in getting one man
over the home plate.

CLEAN AND COOL.
Two Conditions Which Should Make
the Handling Of the Milk.

To attain success in the dairy bust
ness it is important that every branch
of the work be faultless in itself. A
dairyman may have clean herd and
an excellent barn built on modern
principles, but if he lacks the facili-
ties for properly handling the milk
or cleaning the utensils, or if his stor-
age is faulty-one of these things
alone may cause failure.
He must have suitable building
and apparatus for cleaning and steril-
izing dairy utensils, cooling and stor-
ing the milk and cream, or make but
ter and cheese.
1t is not uncommon, says Coleman's
Rural World, to find a milk cooler
hung in or near the COW stable, where
the air is laden with dust, dirt, foul
odors, and possibly disease germs,
which readily pass into the milk
The best dairy practice requires
that the milk shall be removed from
the stable as quickly as possible after
it is drawn, preferably to a building
or room independent of the barn,
where it can be aerated with pure air
and cooled at once in clean surround
tngs.

WATERING THE. COW.
Il Should Be Done In the Same Place
Every Day Thinks One Oaryman

For years I had the impression
that a COW must be allowed in the
barnyard at least an hour or more
day to do her best and kept healthy.
Also. if the weather was of an ex-
IRENE nature, that she should be Kept
in and watered inside. Close observa-
ton has taught me that cow wants
the same deal every day and should be
watered the one way, either inside or
outside. If cows are used to being
turned out they will frequently refuse
water when given them in the barn,
and they will also chafe and get very
uneasy when not let out at their reg
ular time.
We have learned by close observa-
ton covering long period, that COWS
give decidedly more milk when wa
tered inside, If the barn is kept clean

ventilated and the cows confined in a
manner that is not tiresome. With
a good, dry, soft bed and plenty of
room and freedom so they can
change their position and lick them
selves when they choose, a COW is
comfortable providing she gets plenty
of sunlight. Comfort and good feed
is what they want and what makes
them yield up.

something to entice them away. On
the contrary they will seek the most
