Hope Of Signing star Center Fielder

According 70 Authorized
Statement.
BLUE JACKET CONTRACT
Only Ray Of Sunshine That Entered
Local Camp Saturday Was Con-
tract Of indian
Twirler.

Ed Reichle, centerfielder and heavy
slugger, will not wear Keokuk uni
form this season. This was the posi-
tive statement made Saturday night
to The Gate City by Manager Frank
Belt. The star will either be traded
or sold, and deal may be consum-
mated Monday whereby he will say
goodbye to keokuk.
All efforts to bring about an agree
ment as to terms have been abandon
cd by the Keokuk manager and he
will bring pending deal to speedy
close if possible Belt has named the
salary and Reichle refuses to play for
1t; hence the move.
The loss Of Reichle will put big
crimp in the Keokuk outfield. Belt
has secured long list of available
timber and will make an effort to de-
velop trio Of outer garden stars.
Mason Given up.
Coming with the statement that
Reichle will not don an Indian uni
form is the announcement that Mason
declines to sign contract. Belt says
this does not worry him, for he is of
the opinion that O'Brien, one of the
youngsters signed. will prove strong
man for the position. Cavanaugh is
also expected to deliver the goods.
The only ray of sunshine during the
DAY came with the late announcement
that Blue Jacket had signed con-
tract. However, there was never a
question about the Indian finger com
ing around for he is eager to, spend
another year under the tutorage of
Frank Belt.

LIKES MILKING MACHINE

On October II, in response to a re-

We have had several months ex-
pe.ience with the milking machine
and are willing to express our views to
a certain extent.
AS far as we have gone we are Of the
opinion that as long as we have 20 or
more cows to milk. we will not 90

a GREAT saver of time and labor. Last
evening two attendants MIXED 80 COWS
in one hour and ten minutes with four
machines. and MIXED them dry. We do
not believe in hand stripping. so make
the machines milk them dry by a little
manipulation of the udder or teat cups,

some another. We always examine each

put the teat cups on again.
Since we have gor to understand the
machines pretty we'll. we have had very
little trouble with them. We en-
deavored to follow the instructions of
the manufacturers in every detail. And
we also kept the agents at Chicago,
"a. II. Barber Ceamery Co.. posted as
to our troubles and progress. and re.
ceived valuable suggestions and instruc-
lions from them. We have had some
trouble with u power. and have taken
some trouble to have same in running
order each time before we milk, and
in that way have saved considerable
time at milking time.
We are gaining in education in that
line, and find that we can succeed in
making our power and machines to work
properly at the proper time. Az regards
the retaining of the milk flow with the
machines. I will not state with any de-
gree OF p~ostiveness in my opinion, but
find in looking W my milk sheets, the
same gradual shrinkage, in the barn
where we hand milk. as in the barn
where We milk with machines. as the
lactation period advances. We found that
when we first put the machines on cows
that had been MIXED some time by
hand, that they did not give as much as
they did before. But after that there
was only that %huctuation. and gradual
shrinkage that accompanied the hand
milking also. We have found that the
young cows did not shrink as the older
COWS did, and in some instances there
was no shrinkage at all.
We have found that the cows. both
old and young, stand lots more quietly
through machine milking than they did
for hand milking. We have also found
that when the boss is not at the barn,
that there are no stools and clubs and
oaths used, as used to be- the case fire.

We have found also that our separator

were forced to employ.
