No farmer who has the welfare OF

MARKET DAYS IN WISCONSIN
One Day in Each Month Is Set Apart
FOR Selling Surplus Produce and
Exchanging Views.

In many towns in Wisconsin and
other states merchants and dairy
farmers in cooperation have estab-
lished market days, and without excep-
ton these have proven interesting and
valuable in many ways.
One day in each month is devoted
to the marketing Of whatever surplus
produce, cows, bulls and farm animals
generally that farmers may have. The
merchants provide sheds for teams,
and lots for animals divided on into
pens, and farmers are encouraged IN
every way possible to attend these
market days.
Crowds begin to come early in the
forenoon, and many a farmer spends
the entire day trading and exchanging
views with others. A farmer who will
keep his eyes and ears open will pick
I'D many valuable pointers in his busi-
ness in the matter of feeding and the
making of butter and cheese.
Some of the merchants associations
In the best dairy sections offer month
ly prizes for the best butter or cheese,
or dairy cows and calves, and the mar
ket days in such places take the as
pect Of country fair On a small scale.
In some towns there has been a
tendency to introduce side shows and
cheap attractions which divert the at
| tention of the farmers, and particu-
larry the young people, from the bust
ness Of buying and selling and the ex-
change of views.
Very wisely, however, attempts to
turn these market days into cheap
shows have been discouraged, and in
their place practical short talks are
given by one or more competent men
on the subject of dairying and general
1 farming.
Sometimes the representatives OF
the state experiment station make ad
i dresses on these days, and altogether
the market-day feature is becoming
one of great value.

Catching runners off first base is an

ED Walsh of the Chicago White
Sox," says Collins. lis the hardest
pitcher have ever played against
when it comes TO getting lead off
first. Let me tell you right now that
Walsh has the most battling motion
of any pitcher in the country, bar
none. |, myself, think it is a clear
case of balk when Walsh winds up
and then slaps the ball over TO first.
But no umpires have called him for
it, except in one or two cases. where
the offense was palpable.
There are only few runners, men
like Eddie Collins and Ty Cobb, who
dare to take more than couple Of
feet lead off first when Walsh is in
the box. They depend on excessive
speed to beat the ball to first, but
sometimes even they are fooled. You
never can tell what Walsh is going
to do until you actually see the bats.
