BALL PLAYERS SALARIES
Have Risen Faster Than in Any Other
Kind of Work.

1t is safe to say that the salaries paid
professional baseball players have aris-
en- faster than in any other kind of
work on the face of the earth. In many
cases no one outside the magnates
themselves know what is paid. In the
case of Hans Wagner of the world S
champion Pirates, no one knows what
the mighty swatter draws down on
payday.
Ty Cobb is accredited with getting
$4,000 per season, but whether these are
the exact figures or not is not definite
ly known. He may get more; undoubt
eddy he doesn't get less.
Men in the United States Senate do
not make as much money as big
league baseball player figuring on $4,000
for seven months work Carried out on
the ratio a Ty Cobb or a Hans Wagner
would make nearly $4,000 per year
Frank Chance the leader of the Chi
cago Cubs. gets around $4,000 a sea
son and so does Christy Mathewson of
the Giants. In Mathewsons case his
reward is greater than most of the
others. for he receives this vast pay
for pitching in from 25 to as games a
year
Larry Lajoie of Cleveland always has
, been a big money maker since being
with the Maps. His actual reward is
1 shrouded in mystery. but it's a safe
wager that it is not below $4,000 annual
/ ly, and perhaps much more. There are
scores of men who get from $4,000 to
$4,000 season. This is far higher sala-
ries than the vast majority of eminent
ministers receive

duce, and raise the heifers born Tor
the same purpose. pay little regard
to the breeding OF the sire. Most OF
the milk cows OF the South probably
have scrub or grade sires and a large
part Of the pure bred bulls used are
from cows OF ordinary or inferior
dairy capacity.
Almost any sore OF a pure bred
dairy sire is infinitely better than
any scrub or grade because OF his
breeding along strictly dairy lines
and the greater number OF good
dairy cows among his female ances-
tors, but the difference In the values
OF different pure bred sires Ia
scarcely less than that between the
pure bred and the scrub.
Small Dairymen Need Awakening.
The purchase OF good dairy sire,
consequently means something more
than simply the purchase OF n pure
bred bull. Many have not yet ad-
vanced to the point OF paying s25 TO
$50 for a pure bred bull calf when
grade may be had for $40: but be-
fore great improvement can be made
in the average dairy cow OF our ter
ritory, the breeders OF mich COWS
must also learn that II may be much
more profitable to pay $500 for one
pure bred bull than to buy another
for s25.
These statements do no, apply. as
some OF our readers seem TO think.
to the dairymen alone. They apply
to every person who raises n heifer
calf to be used for dairy purposes.
In fact. II Ia the small breeders OF
dairy cattle rather than the larger
ones who need most to improve the
quality OF the sires used. The larger
breeders. or those who may be term
ed dairymen. have pretty generally
awakened to the value OF better
dairy sires: but the bulk OF the dairy
cows OF the South are produced by
the men who keep two or three cows,
and these still need to be made TO ap-
preciate the real worth. to them. OF
a good dairy bull.
How are good pure bred dairy
bulls to be placed ut the disposal OF
the small breeder? Many OF these
could now use better bulls II they
appreciated their true value and
were willing TO pay a small service
fee. This fee is usually far below
the value OF the service. In fact. the
service fee OF a really frst-cIass bull
Is almost always far below what the
small breeder could AFFORD TO pay.
How to Combine with Your Neigh.
bors and Buy n Good Bull.
But after all. the larger number OF
those who keep one or two cows. and
also many OF the smaller breeders
and dairymen. do not have available
the services OF a first-class dairy bull.
How are these to be obtained7 When
our farmers. even though they be
only raising one or two heIfers n
year. wake up to the real value OF n
frst-class dairy sire. II will be easy
for any neighborhood TO obtain and

and cheap cooperative management.

EI from which the maies pro-
~ duced are sold for breeding
purposes, the value of pure bred
dairy bull is determined by the value
of his daughters as dairy cows. The
extent to which the progeny OF a
pure bred bull excel those of scrub
or grade bull Is the measure OF his
increased value. A bull may, during
an average lifetime, sire 100 daugh-
tiers, but II we allow one-half that
number, then the difference In the
value of these so cows above that Of
similar number sired by a scrub or
grade bull represents his greater
value.
$3.50 Not Too High Estimate Of
Value.
II so daughters OF pure bred bull
each produce 10 pounds more butter
than so daughters of a grade or
scrub bull. the pure bred bull is
worth $3.50 more than the scrub or
grade. Taking the useful life of
dairy COW as 6 years. 10 pounds more
per year gives so pounds more but
ter per daughter and 5000 pounds
more butter for the so daughters.
The value Of 5000 pounds of butter
at Is cents pound Is $3.50.
II we limit the number OF daugh-
tiers produced by pure bred bull to
25. and reduce their increase In pro-
ducing capacity over the daughters
Of scrub sire to pounds OF butter
each. the value Of the pure bred sire
is still $3.50 greater than that OF
the scrub.
The first figure, $3.50, much more
nearly represents the difference In
value between the pure bred dairy
sire and the grade or scrub, than
does the second or $3.50. Fifty
daughters are not too many daugh-
tiers to expect from bull during an
average life time. and they will each
produce 10 pounds more butter year
ly than would the daughters Of a
scrub bull from the same mothers.
xiii the Grade Built"
The value of a good dairy bull,
which is used for from 6 to 8 years
in herd of from 10 to 20 average
dairy cows, may easily be $1,000
greater than that OF scrub or grade
bull. 1t is this fact. which has been
demonstrated in numerous instances.
that gives force to the battle cry"
Of those working for the develop
ment OF the dairy interests OF the
South, XIII the Grade Bull"
1t is not unusual to find the differ
ence between the values OF the but
ter produced by the best and the
poorest cows In herd amount to
from $50 to $75 in a single year. and
the average cow frequently produces
$25 more than the poorest. In fact,
the differences In the value of dairy
cows in the same herd, where feed
ing and care are the same, are so
great that practically all the profits
are made by so per cent of the cows.
In view of these facts, the i'm
portance OF pure bred sire, from a
family OF large producers, can
scarcely be over-estimated. Good
care and liberal feeding are essential
factors In the improvement of the
dairy herds, but these combined will
not do more than will a really first
class sire in permanently increasing
the value of the herd.

CORPORATION TAX DROPS
PROCEEDS WILL BE MILLIONS
BELOW ESTIMATES.
Only a Little Money Collected to
Date Under the New
Law.

Corporation tax receipts for this year
are going to prove a disappointment to
the Treasury. The estimate now is they
will reach $4,000, 900. as against $25. 900.
600 thought probable by Secretary Mac
Veagh in December, and much larger
amounts by officials having the collec-
ton of the tax in charge. The minimum
estimate is based on the character of
returns on which assessments are now
being made; it may be increased some
what but not likely to any material ex-
tent
From one district which il was thought
would yield 100000 revenue but $3.50 Q, 0
will be collected. and from another from
which $1.75O.OO0 was expected only $780,
GOO in assessments have been made. The
estimate is that the city Of New York
will yield $3,5OO,0O0
Because OF the popular interest in the
tax collection the Treasury, beginning
May /, will announce daily the payments
on that account. Only small amounts
have been paid so far. for the double
reason that the assessments are not col
lectibie until June 30. and corporations
are availing themselves of the use of
money until that time. Then. too, the
uncertainty as to the decision of the
Supreme Court on the constitutionality OF
the law operates to delay payments.
Assessments to date on account Of the
tax aggregate $40. i45.476
