SAYS WORK IS WELL and
HONESTLY DONE.
He Says It Will Be Completed and

Support" Wind Opposition" Will

prise-Work to Be Pushed Rapidly

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 14.-Talking
through Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama, President elect Taft Saturday
had the qualification of being heartily
received by large and enthusiastic
crowds who had not voted for him.
Several times he made his appreciation
plain. 1t was clear that not only did
the south seem willing to accept him
as their president, but that his great
est desire was to be the president OF
every man, woman and child in the
nation.
There was one other burden on the
Taft mind today-a desire to show ut
ter contempt for what he trmed the
baseless and hurried criticisms of the
work being done on the Panama canal
Don't Set Rear Fire.
"The Panama canal is going to BIZ
built" he declared, "and what L want
you to do and what / want every
American citizen to do is to stand by
the men who are building it. Don y
set fire in the rear; don't distrust

NOTES OF TIE SHEEP.

The best wool sheep are not the
best mutton and lamb sheep and vice
versa.
1t does not pay to keep ewes more
than five years old, unless they have
proven wonderfully prolific.
No matter how much you are offer.
ed for them, you can not afford to
sell your best eve lambs, Keep them
for your own flock.
Troughs for the sheep save let's of
grain. Easy to nail two boards to.
gether in a V with a couple of short
pieces across the ends to keep them
right side up.
1t is one thing to raise stock and il
is another thing to market them
profitably Be wise in breeding and
feeding, but be wise also as to mar,
ket conditions.

SUMNER CARE OF HORSES.

A great many horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders.
This can be remedied in a very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main part
of the harness and it should be of the
very best kind and fit the animals S
neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
well washed and brushed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught and
held on the moist and sweaty shoul-
ders and collar. there to form hard
Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse should be examined for those
Jumps and ridges. If any are found
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, bathe and clean the
shoulders with a mixture of warm wa.
ter, salt and soda.
Hot water is one of the best-known
natural agents for relieving soreness
due to sprains, bruises and excessive
pressure of the animal body. Salt
and soda are healing and disinfecting
agents.
A little alum and tannic acid, the
juice from the bark or leaves of oaa
or willow trees, will heal and tough
en- the skin and should be applied
with warm water

WHY LEFT-HANDED BATTERS
CANNOT HIT SOUTHPAWS
Curves of Rlght-Handers, Which They
Are Used to Reversed, Given
as the Cause.

If lefthanded batters cannot hit
left-handed pitchers as well as right
handed hitters can, several fans
have written to know why left-hand-
ed hitter cannot hit right-handed
Iitcher better than a right-handed hit
ter can?
It is true that left-handed hitters
usually have great trouble in hitting
left-handed pitchers, but it is also true
that right handed hitters have a lot
of trouble themselves at times That
does not answer the question, how
ever, for their troubles are not SO
great.
AS a rule, all batters prefer to hit
a ball curving in toward them rather
than one curVing away from them, A
ball that curves in SO as to come di'
rectly over the plate is pie" for the
heavy hitters. Such ball Is easier
TO bit than fast one outside, and the

players frequently refer to 1t as "one
In the groove"
There are in reality only two balls
thrown-the curve ball and the fast
ball. The others are merely varia-
tions. The curve ball of right-hand
pitcher, commonly known as an out
curve" always curves to the left from
the man who throws it. That is, it
curves away from a right-handed bat
ter. Naturally, it curves in to left
hand batter. The left-handed hitters
get in the habit of hitting this curve in
all its variations thrown by right
handed pitcher, and when a southpaw
comes along they are lost.
The curve of the left-hander is ex.
actly the reverse of that thrown by the
right-hand batter and away from the
left-hander. Having been trained to
hit the ball curving into them, the
left-handers find themselves reaching
out for the curve of the left-handed
pitcher and missing it. Another thing
that gets them is for the left-handed
pitcher to start curve ball straight
for their bodies and bend 1t over the
plate. II highlander should throw
a curve like that to a ieft-hander II
would be wild pitch, as 1t would &C
behind the left-handed batter. Then
when they dodge the southpaw's curve
1t breaks over the plate and they are
left standing there looking foolish.
