SHORT BASEBALL STORIES.

The Southern League furnishes a story
Of a home run hunt that won a game II
seems that there was a man on first and
that the batter was instructed 10 lay
down a hunt He put a roller toward
third. the first baseman was drawn IN,
and the second baseman covered first.
The third baseman threw 20 first Every
body saw the BAH on the way. Il hit the
basemau's glove and-Gisappeared When
the hunt for the ban began the first run
uer was hugginE second. while the batter
or erran first and stumbled and fell out
IN right field. RE quickly got up re-
touched first, ran TO second. and persuad-
ed the other man 10 run ahead Of him
home with the winning runs. Everybody
thought the ban was lost in the grass,
and finally IL was found I'm right neid.
How 70 got there was a mystery until the
man who hit the hunt explained. L ap-
pears that the ball bounced from the
second baseman's glove and bounded Up
under the runners arm as he sp-inted
past the bag. The runner closed his arm
down tight, kept on running, gave a stage
fall out IN right field, and dropped the
ball.

Sam Kennedy declares that Ray Speu-
Ger, the Maryland boy. who is having his
FIRST professional experience with the
Maps this spring. IS destined 10 be one OF
the best outhelders In the business. all de-
partments OF the game considered except
running. for he is not a fast man on the
bases. He has been showing. though.
that ne is a natural hitter. and II he had
had the experience that some Of the
others have had It would be difficult 10

warnings, except where the best
of markets are at hand for dairy
products. Our veal supply should
be made up entirely of discarded
dairy calves. Every other herd
that is not maintained strictly for
dairy production should be head
ed by a bull of desirable beef
type, even if he is of dual-pur-
pose stock. That means that the
average farmer of America should
produce calves of profitable beef
type from cows that supply his
table with milk and butter. With
the elimination of the scrub COW
and mongrel bull the beef prob
lem would largely solve itself to
the profit of farmers.

Wheat Crop Fourth Less Than
Expected.

Mr.. r. T. Anderson, ST., who
has farm near the Reform School,
which he rented to Superintendent
E. H. Doak on the shares, says
that their crop of, wheat, which
promised 1900 bushels, will only
turn out about 5000, owing to the
long rainy spell and some of it
sprouted in the shocks beyond
value as grain.
If hogs were not so high Mr..
Anderson says he could fatten
hundred head by turning them on
the fields, but he is afraid to invest
in them at the present high price
of 8 and 10 cents.

Special Saddle Horse Stake at
State fair.

We beg to call the attention of
our readers to the Special Saddle
Horse Stake, known as The Com
missioner of Agriculture Stake,
valued at $4,000, to be offered in
connection with the 1910 Kentucky
State Fair. The stake is guaran-
teed by Hon. NJ. G. Rankin, State
Commissioner of Agriculture.
We bespeak for the management
and Mr.. Rankin the interest and
support of every saddle-horse
breeder in the State. AS we have
previously stated, the real value
of a stake of this kind cannot be
measured in dollars, but in the
prestige and honor of winning it
and the reputation it will carry for
many years to come. There are
many fve-gaited stations, mares
and geldings of sufficient merit to
warrant their owners entering
them in this stake, and it will GER
tainly be very small risk in put
ting up the entrance fee of : per
cent. This will be fully repaid as
an advertisement if in no other
way. 1t will also be an evidence
of appreciation On the part of sad
die horse owners toward Mr.. Ran
Kin and the State Fair Manage
ment, and will encourage them to
be more liberal with the saddle
horse at future Fairs.

Governor Has Right to Issue Con-
ditiOndI PdrdOnS.

An opinion has been given to
the Governor by Attorney Gener-
al Breathitt, in which he holds that
a conditional pardon or reprieve
can be granted by the Governor.
Judge Breathitt goes fully into
the case and defines the method by
which the person who violates the
terms of the pardon can be return
/ ed to the prison. He says the
warrant of the Governor shall be
sufficient authority for his arrest
and if he violates the conditions of
pardon the previous sentence be-
comes operative just though par
don had not been issued.

cornbelt feeder with the output.
Prices offer ncourapement to
cattlemen, but the caution engen-
dered by the general upsetting of
established precedents is likely to
check the development of the
business along new lines. The
heavy marketing of veal calves so
far this year is an evidence of the
popular disposition to run 10 risks
of loss from an unexpected course
of the cattle market. Calves have
looked too high to raise. So do
feeder steers look too high to feed

few years ago. But we are con-

men who are adapting themselves
to them are having no cause for

C1ttIemen Must Revise Methods.

The restriction of the extensive
range breeding operations, that
have furnished a great Share of
the feeders and grass fat cattle for
the last few years, comes at a
time when farmers seem increas-
ingly disposed to veal their young
calves. The cattle industry pre-
sents a crisis of unparalleled i'm
portance. A shortage of western
pastures promises to afford eastern
feeders a fair supply Of thin steers
this year, but the scarcity and
high prices last spring of steers
suited to grazing leave no doubt
that the relief is only temporary.
With prices for feeders lowering
steadily around the prices brought
by fat cattle a few years ago with
out any large movement resulting,
there is foundation for the belief
that raising feeder steers is getting
unpopular. Even the range is
taking on a different aspect. The
outfits that have not been dis
placed by grain farmers are max
ing provision for carrying steers
on hay in winter ard aiming to
reach the butcher instead of the

Gay from the south In the middle of
the tenth moon a vessel with lare.
cargo of unhulled rice, bound for a
seaport near Canton, anchored for the
night at Pakongkeu. some dozen miles
north of Tsingyun. In the dark
watches of the night the vessel was
boarded by a score of thieves who,
after a desperate struggle. overpow-
cred all the crew. They bound the
captain hand and foot, dashed him to
the anchor and then dropped him over
board. The remainder of the crew
were drowned in a similarly cold.
blooded fashion and then the vessel
silently weighed anchor and slipped
down the river The sole survivor
had gone ashore to drink wine with a
friend in the neighborhood. and when
next morning at dawn he came seek.
ing his ship he learned the fearful
tale from some fishermen who had
been plying their nets near by.
From inquiries made 1t has tran
spired that the vessel was taken to
Samshui. where a steam launch was
requisitioned to tow her speedily to
Ch'antshufen, a large grain center
near Canton. Here the cargo of 60.
900 catties was easily sold for $4,000
after which the vessel also was sold
for the proverbial price of an old song.
When It is possible to get clear
away with such valuable prizes, 1t is
not to be wondered at that piracy con-
tinues to flourish in this southern
province"
