Why seh.sf.r Los. Out.

According to Hughey Jennings. Her
man Schaefer has no one but himself
TO blame for his failure TO play up TO
his standard with Detroit last season.
which caused his being traded TO
Washington for Jim Delehanty. Every
spring Schaefer visited Hot Springs
for his preliminary work. and the re-
suit was that be always started the
season In the pink OF condition. Last
spring Schaefer wanted the Detroit
club TO pay his expenses. and he did
not go. The result was that IL was
well along into the summer before he
got in playing fettle. and his work up
10 that time was so poor that trade
or some kind had 20 be made.
Schaefer now realizes his mistake,
and next spring will find him in Hot
Springs for several weeks before be re-
ports 10 McAleer. and II is believed
that this Will make lot OF difference

Baseball Scouts Are Expensive.

Garry Hermann. president OF the
Cincinnati Nationals. says that there
Will probably be no scouts employed
next year. AT least not at yearly sal
airy. The scouting proposition has been
very serious expense 10 the club.
Last year two scouts were employed
at liberal salaries and with unlimited
expense accounts and a large number
OF young players were purchased. very
few OF whom were available. A large
sum OF money was lost In this way.
and the practice Of wholesale purchase
OF minor league players will be discon-
tinued. The Reds are now In pretty
good shape as 10 their regular players.
and the necessity for scouts II not 80
great as II was.

Fs,tecino Hoos.

Fattening hogs will usually nnish
faster on cornmeal than on shelled
corn. and many farmers favor corn
meal for that reason. Experiments
covering the quantity fed plainly show.
however. that hogs given cornmeal eat
more feed In a given time than those
on shelled corn. When both the feed
eaten and the gains made arc taken
into consideration. the profit I'm favor
OF cornmeal Is considerably less than
many suppose. Corn and cob meal has
been shown to have about the same
value as pure cornmeal. II any ad-
vantage Is had from corn aud cob
meal. as is claimed by some stockmen.
It no doubt largely comes from the
bulk furnished by the particles OF cob.

the stomach less compact or more por-

Richness o. MIL

VIII certain food make milk richer In
butter fati The discussion OF this
question still goes on. The general
conclusion is that the individuality OF
the COW. rather than the food she eats.
determines mainly the richness OF her
milk. Feed. OF course. may produce
very material increase IN quantity. but
not of quality. Truly the quality
varies under different conditions and
circumstances. For instance. strip
pings are richer than the rest Of the
milking. The per cent OF butter fat
also varies at different periods of lac.
tation. Yes, the COW is a machine for
the production OF milk. but the quality
OF her milk varies with each individ-
ual or Is likely 20 do So Cows that
give the richest milk are more apt 10
produce offspring that VIII do the
same; hence II Is possible 10 breed
this quality In cows and build up
rich milk strain. as has been done

Planting Apple Trees In Fall.


Some fruit growers believe that the
most appropriate time 20 plant an ap-
Pile orchard Is In the fall. from about
the last Of October TIL the middle Of
November. when tho ground is loose
and moist enough TO work well. but
not wet and sticky. At that time the
growing season is over. and the trees
will hardly be injured at oil by the
change from nursery 10 orchard. The
roots that have been cut In digging
and preparing for resetting will callous
over. and the ground will settle firmly
about the roots. and In the spring the
trees are ready 10 awaken into new
life without check to their growth.
But in severe winters some trees viii
be lost. The better plan Is TO set the
trees In trench with top sloping close
20 the ground. Then cover with litter
to prevent severe freezing. They will
