Bird friends all over the country viii
rejoice over the good news which
comes from Louisiana to the effect that
after four years of strenuous fighting
the state legislature has at last passed
a law removing robins from the list Of
game birds for which there is an open
shooting season. 1t is said that last
winter during period of about six
weeks there were slaughtered by pot
hunters in that state alone over mil
lion robins. What this means in the
decreasing Of the insect destroying
force Of the country can hardly be es-
timated. 1t is hoped that Texas and
Alabama, the only two other states
which permit the ruthless slaughter OF
the robin, will soon realize the cash
nexus in bird preservation and fall
into line.

Statistics give evidence that one Of
the big leaks for which residents Of
agricultural communities have to stand
good results from the loss sustained in
the hauling Of produce to market over
bad roads. Being one of the necessary
items of expense, that of hauling is
sort of taken for granted, little account
being given by the average farmer to
the annual tax which he pays under
the head of hauling expense. On roads
which are likely to be bad in spots
from a ton to q ton and half is a good
load for the average team. Where
roads are in first class shape, hard and
smooth, and vehicles of sufficient ca
pacity this load could be increased
from 60 to 100 per cent with virtually
no increase in cost Of moving. This
matter is one in which every grower
of stock or produce is vitally interested
and consequently one that should re-
ceive his careful attention. ~

The matter of breaking the colt Is
one that should receive attention fron,
the first if a gentle and tractable horse
is desired In the same way the little
heifer calf should be petted and han
died as if in the act of milking, and
she will become used to the process;
and will not be vexed by it when her
first calf comes and she really has t.
be millSed. Most animals respond in q
remarkable manner to kind, gentle
treatment and caresses, and the ease
with which they are handled and cared
for as a result repays the owner for
the trouble he takes.

Experiments which have been CO.
Quoted by hog raisers in different parr@
of the country show that when corn Is
hogged downfall is, when the hog
are turned into small portions Of The
tlnhusked field and allowed to feed
will-they will make from 25 to 30 pc
cent better gain than when fed in th
yards. Doubtless the green food, cxei
else and change are largely responsible
for the better showing.

Western live stock growers have
started a serious agitation in favor of
method of selling cattle subject to
postmortem examination for tuberculo-
sis. AS things are now the packers
have to sell their products on an in
spection basis, while they buy cattle on
the hoof on a no inspection basis. Nat
urally, in order to make themselves
good on losses which they sustain as a
result of federal inspection, they put
the price on live cattle low enough so
as to give a safe margin. From this it
can be plainly seen that the stockman
whose cattle are entirely free from
taint of tuberculosis has to stand the
loss to the packer which is sustained in
the purchase of some other shippers
infected cattle. If the postmortem eX-
animation rule We're adopted, the loss
from diseased cattle would fall, as it
ought to, on the fellow who shipped
them to market.

1t has been determined from feeding
tests that in spite of the fact that hogs
will eat immature apples with great
relish their feeding value is slight, of
ten not serving to offset the damage
resulting from an acid condition Of
stomach which they produce. When
the apples are thoroughly ripe and the
starch they contain has been largely
converted into 2sugaro they possess a
greater though not large value as a
food ration

A cattle feeder living at Stanton,
Neb., recently topped the Omaha cattle
market with four carloads Of fat cattle
which weighed on an average 1872
pounds each and brought $50 per hun
dred. This feeder bought the bunch
last November for $3.50 per hundred.
when they weighed LILO pounds each.
An interesting fact in connection with
this feeding experiment is that the
steers were given an exclusive bal
anced ration of corn and alfalfa. The
price. $50. was the highest that had
been paid ON the Omaha market since
1902. In view of this showing special
interest will attach to feature Of the
big corn exposition which Is to be held
in Omaha next December. which will
consist of an alfalfa palace that will
not only be artistically constructed
but will give a complete exhibit OF
alfalfa and its products as we'll as fur
nish literature proving It's value rs q
stock ration. In localities where 1t viii
grow alfalfa and corn constitute twir
representatives of the highest type oi
agricultural prosperity.

Tobacco growers of the country have
been interested much of late in the
publication of results of experiments
which have been conducted the past
four or five years by the government
along the line of growing type of to-
bacco called the Sumatra wrapper in
portions of Texas. 1t has been dis
covered that both soil and climate are
nicely adapted to the growing of the
plant, and if the hopes of experiment.
ers are realized Texas will in a few
years become one of the leading to-
bacco growing states of the country.
One Texas landowner, q resident Of
Palestine, reports excellent financial
returns from four years culture Of
this variety Of tobacco. He grows Il
under shade, having seventeen acres
covered, for which he uses 10000 lineal
feet of lumber. He is able to raise
1000 pounds to the acre and receives
so cents pound for the product.

BASEBALL

When Carl Ware, the crack second baseman for the Pine Knots, made his awful pebble on the second base line after two men were down in the third inning yesterday afternoon at Forest Park he simply handed the Ar Egenta Shamrocks the game on a silver Ep1atter. Beaurie Hutt another local \ star, let one get away from him in Athe eighth and added to the misery. RBut Beaurie half way redeemed him. ggelf in the ninth, after two men were $kone, and with clean drive over Mrbird Baseman Wards head, sent the only two runs Pine Bluff secured s5across the rubber.

 S It was an awful hard game to lose s Ind with any kind of stick work at ] Snpportune times the locals could have redeemed themselves, but that bat Ing. which has been conspicuous for sifs absence all season in the local line I'D, was not forthcoming. Tn the < ninth inning, with three men on bases saAd not a man down, the locals had U0dles of chances to tie the score or s,e1n the game. A single and a double 3Siv60uld have done the work. for Pitch 2 IT Luhrsen was "all in" for a few Minutes and a couple of bingles would < five sci all the visitors tumbles off < their noodles.
 Deayer, as usual, pitched his game, ' but was touched up lively and at op- n0ftune times. His support was a1nnt as sorry at critical moments as se0n here this year.

He deserved to win. Deav- ef can never win with such batters behind him and such dumb base run- hlhs as was exhibited by Big Liz" Taylor at third yesterday. Taylor had been advanced around the bags to third Reese fumbled his ball at second and he reached second on a passed ball and finally got around to third While there Catcher Parrott sped one down to Michael at second and caught Lewis Big Liz had plenty of time to score, but hugged third like it was mince pie. The visitors played the snappiest kind of ball. They fielded like leg ! it's and were in the game every sec ] ond. Michael and Bockewitz pulled off fast double that was feature.

Diamond Dust.

Manager Denver has signed Pitcher Rube Walter of Hot Springs and he has already joined the local team. Walter is fairly good twirler and made a pretty good record with the Hot Springs club.
 Pitcher Oscar Welch has ben put on the bench without pay by Manager Deaver and fined $10 for failing to go to Hot Springs last Saturday night with the local bunch. Welch said he was sick and sent word by Pitcher Harry Nickens, to Denver, of his ill., ness. Deaver said he should have in- formed him personally of his inability to accompany the team to the Valley , of Vapors Welch says he asked Pres the locals on the following day and was told not to go. Welch asked for his release yesterday, having offers 1 from Hot Springs and Argenta clubs, but Deaver refused to give it to him.
 First Baseman Beaurie Hut stated last night that he did not drop the ball, thrown him by Ware in the eighth inning yesterday, until after he had put out the runner. Umpire Crotty had called the runner out and at the same instant when Hut tried 10 make double and throw the ball to Clayton at second, he struck his side in making the swing and the ball ac- cidentally fell to the ground. Seeing this Crotty called the runner safe. af- ter having called him out. Every fan in the grandstand was confident that Hut had tagged his man, but under Crot1y's decision the play will register an error for Hut.
