MOST DIFFICULT SHOT ON TENPIN ALLEY

MOST DIFFICULT SHOT ON TENPIN ALLEY.
"crotch''-that is, midway between the
one and two pins or the one and three
will sweep off certain other pins and
leave standing formations which make
the bowler wonder how they possibly
could occur. They do happen, though,
and picking up the difficult ones Is
what marks the finished bowler from
the man who prizes loose good score
by accident. Strikes are not so hard to
get and often are accidents, but the
man who can go through a series of
games getting spares with regularity
is a more finished bowler than the man
who shoves them all down with the
first ball and misses one or two pins.
The "break," or split" is the bane
of the man who would pile up big
scores. Just why and how they hap
pen is mystery, but they do occur,
and it is one Of the fates of the game
that they usually come in the middle
of a long string of strikes and just
where they will do the most harm.
The break is most discouraging ca
lamty, as it throws the bowler off his
stride and causes many a good man to
lose his nerve.
Explanations Of the breaks and how
to make them are as follows:
First-5-7-9 split-Ball strikes 5 pin
lightly on right side; 5 pin caroms and
gets Z; ball carries pin.
Second-7-1O split-Should be rolled
with smallest ball handy. Hit pin
three-quarters on left hand side; Z
must rebound from back cushion to
get 10. Most difficult shot on tenpin
alley.
ThirdA-7-9-1O split-Ball strikes
pin very lightly on left hand side;
caroms and gets 8 and 10 pins; ball
carries pin.
Fourth-3-5-9-1O split-Pins close to-
gethcr, but very difficult. Ball hit 3
pin just full enough so that pin will
hit ) pin on the inside to catch 8; ball
gets 10 pin.
Fifth-Strike split-1,OOO to 1 shot,
but possible. Ball barely touches 8 pin
on right side, sliding it across to 10.
Sixth-24-5-S-1O split-Ball hits pin
full and hits 5 pin thin on left side; 5
pin caroms and gets 10 pin; ball takes
and pins.
Seventh-3-6-S-1O split-Ball hits 3
pin one-third full on left hand side; 3
pin caroms and gets and 10; ball gets
pin.
Eighth-24-7-6-9-1O split-Ball hits 2
pin on extreme left hand side; car
oms and gets G, 8 and 10 pins; ball
carries and pins.
Ninth-46-S-10 split-Use smallest
ball handy; hit 6 pin three-quarters
full; get rebound Of pin from cush-
ion on 8, which will carry 4. Ball
carries 10 pin.
Tenth-2-5-1O split-Ball hits 2 one

CLEAN DRINKING VESSELS.
viii Help to Keep Disease Out OF
Flock.

Unclean drinking vessels are doubt
less the immediate means of spread
ing some of our contagious diseases,
such as roup. Roup is a disease In
which slime accumulates in the
mouths of the fowls and strings out
OF their mouths when they open them
to drink. Nothing is easier than for
such a fowl to leave slime In the
drinking water, which is then par.
taken of by the other fowls. This
leads to the fowls all becoming quick
ly affected. AS roup comes on in the
fall very often when we get the
changes in temperature at night, It is
necessary that the drinking vessels
be kept clean and every fowl that
shows signs of a cold should be taken
at once from the house so that 1t will
not be possible for her to spvead the
disease.

BEES IN WINTER.
Cheaper Grades Of Sugar Are Just az
Good for the Bees.

II is not necessary to go to the ex-
pense of buying the finest grades of
white granulated sugar, for a straw
colored sugar will answer just as we'll
provided it is crystalized. Moasses
sugar should, however, be avoided, be-
cause it contains burnt or caramel
sugar which is injurious to bees. IN
feeding, the writer prefers to use the
feed lukewarm If possible and late in
the day 80 that the bees will gather
the feed mainly by night. This helps
against robbing. The entrance to
each hive should be small during
feeding operations as further pre-
caution against robbing practices. In
wintering out of doors there is moth
ing better than a double-walled hive
packed with chaff, straw or paper.
Roofing paper fabrics afford excel
lent protection to exposed hives, says
the Farmers Voice. Some protect
hives by placing them in row and
covering them as they would cab
bages. Others put them In clamps.
The main idea of course is to protect
against long continued cold weather.
Bees cannot stand cold, at least not
lower than 70 degrees. But the best
plan of wintering bees In most of our
northern states is by means of a dry
cellar In which a temperature of SO
degrees Fahrenheit can be steadily
maintained. In addition II should be
dark, noiseless and we'll ventilated.
Where there Is door to the cellar in
side a building II is best because this
door to the stairway can be left open
and yet no light can get in. II in ad-
dition to this there is no disturbance
OF the bees during their long sleep
1t Is likely they will come through
their Imprisonment with little loss,
besides requiring very little food--not
more than ten pounds perhaps
A good many bees die during the
winter. so many as to be quite alarm
ing to a beginner. They are the old
veterans, and In any case would die
OF old age and hard work, so do not
be alarmed. Some beekeepers pro.
vide a. space beneath the frames for
the dead bees TO fall into and the
same space affords an excellent op-
portunity for the bees to cluster to-
gether something like half a sphere.
They are warmer than IL kept sep
rated by the combs. They leave the
cluster occasionally to go after feed.
but soon return to their comrades in
the cluster. They murmur content.

with was one long, silent night.

POULTRY HOUSE FOR so FOWLS.
Single Room Structure Which Proves
Satisfactory.

A conveniently arranged and prop
erly constructed hen house is one of
the indispensable requisites in profta-
BILE poultry raising. The main object
to be observed in designing such. a
structure is to secure as much floor
space as possible and hold roof space
to moderation. The object is to save
expense In construction, as the real
value Of house for this purpose de-
pends upon the number of square feet
surface area on the floor in proportion
to the actual cost of the building.
The sketch included with this article
illustrates very unique design of
farm poultry house. The building is
particularly well adapted to the aver
age farmers needs who keeps but a
small flock and desires to give them
every opportunity. 1t was the aim Of
the designer Of this poultry house to
have as much floor space as possible
