himself tc the left of the box five or
six feet after delivering the ball and in
this case his action was costly. Lin

Three Men on In First.

In the first inning three men were
left on bases and in this early session
the timely bingle was not forthcom-
ing. Landry went out on hot one,
Maloney to Anderson. Brete kissed
a neat one which skidded through
Hills less and Grodnick batted one
at the ground which rolled slowly to
third. There was no chance to get
him and both runners were safe. Cor
riden looked bad and was walked to
first, partly because Malcneyss con-
troll failed. Reichle popped UP to
Cavanaugh and Miller drove an easy
one to Hill In the second inning Hill
debrand, Belt and Blue Jacket batted
in turn.
In the third the fireworks started
and continued long enough TO tie the
game. Landry singled to left and
Berte offered sacrifice which plac-
ed Landry on second. Grodnick hit
one 10 third and was thrown out, but
Jack manager to edge to third on the
play. Corriden came forth with 8

A Shortage in the Pig IRON.

The American Swineherd says:
From the general tenor of letters re-
ceived from breeders in the different
parts of the country we are led to be-
lieve' that the pig crop will be demon
strated a short one. The fact is we
have been getting into this condition
for eighteen months or more. High
priced grain and pork below a COM
parative price of grain caused people
to market their, hogs close and to save
fewer sows. AS one man said in the
office it is very hard to convince a
farmer, when he can get seventy
cents cash bushel for his corn at
his town elevator, that it was not his
duty to cash it in there instead Of
feeding it to hogs or any other ami
mails. The shortage is showing in
the number of hogs that are being
marketed, as they are below previous
years, while the number OF consumers
are constantly increasing"

Ouality of Milk

A great many persons have held
the mistaken notion that with certain
kinds of feeding the COW will increase
the per cent. of batter fat. An Eng
lish dairyman after much experience
says:
THE quality of the milk yielded
BY COW depends more upon the indi-
viduality Of the cow than upon any
other factor, and that a COW is not
merely machine into which one can
put certain amount of food of
known composition with the sure
knowledge that one will get milk of
equally known composition. A COW
Is machine certainly, but one whose
idiosyncrasies, as expressed in the
quality of the milk she produces. can
only be ascertained by actual testing.
Hence the need for testing COWS for
the quality as well as the quantity of
their milk is brought out. BY such a
proceeding and by breeding only from
those cows which give milk rich in
fat, the dairy herds of this country
could undoubtedly be greatly i'm
proved, but our methods are altogeth-
er too haphazard for such an ideal
ever to be realized. In tine mean
time, and so long as legal limit for
milk Of. three per cent. of fat exists
We must be content with showing
that a large number of individual
cows do undoubtedly fall below that
limit in the course of every year,
while with equal certainty the mixed
milk of many herds undoubtedly does

that of individuals. The relative fire.

Tralninu Girls for Wives.

Mr.. J. J. Evans, at a meeting Of
Cheshire Educational committee at
Crewe, called attention to the success
which had attended to the success
which had attended the Bebington
Housewifery OF Cottage Home-making
center. The work was inaugurated in
the autumn OF 1907 at Bebington. The
girls as far as possible were selected
from those about to complete their
school career, and the course of train
ing was In all the duties of a house
wife, including shopping, preparation
Of food, food values, digestion, sani-
tation, care OF the sick, care Of chill
dren, feeding infants, and the right
expenditure of household income.
Each girl was thoroughly instructed
In every branch OF the work. Ar
rangements were made for the girls
to remain to dinner, with the ad-
vantage that they bought, prepared,
cooked and served the meal which
they themselves ate. BY this means
allure was remembered and success
July appreciated. The chairman, AL
herman Hodgson, said he had visited
he Bebington center, and he was de-
lighted with the work done, and he
believed the board OF education would
ecognice the value OF it.-Manchester
