THE w. AND L. AGGREGATION
 SHOWS MUCH IMPROVEMENT

Lexington, October 11.-(Special)- )-The second game of the season on Wilson field showed a marked improvement in the White and Blue team over the previous weeks contest. The team was enabled to introduce nearly every phase of the game and showed a better variety of plays than was possible in the first game. The score of 30 to 13 by which Western Mary land was defeated is not really indicative of the relative strength of the two series of penalties inflicted on the Washington and Lee team. The second touchdown came as result of a long forward pass with only 10 second more to play
 Stewart, the big left tackle, had his shoulder badly injured and will possibly be out of the game for two weeks or more. Edwards, who scored the first touchdown. was also injured, but not seri- ously, and will not be kept from the line up that faces Georgetown next Saturday
 Varsity. however, showed a. decided improvement in form fumbling not beins as frequent as in the previous game and the interference of the backs was much faster and more compact. The forward pass was worked to great extent by both sides, Washington and Lee using it to advantage in a half dozen or more trials Western Maryland offered a variety of trick plays. but only on two or three oc- casions were they enabled to gain with them.

Only straight football was used by Washington and Lee, their principal gains being effected by wide end runs and line drives of the backs. Peoples was especial ly good in smashing the line, on one oc- easion breaking through and running 40 yards for q touchdown Miles. Terry ano Bone also tore off yard after yard when called on. Raftery played his usual heady game and secured a beautiful drop kick from a difficult angle in the third quar- ter. Francis played a stellar game at end, his catching of forward passes be- ing one of the decided features of the game. Parker the guardian of the other extreme of the line, played his usual con sistent game, while Hieatt also showed up well. The two big guards, Rogers and Captain Miller, and Moore, at center, al- lowed nothing to come through the cen ter of the line and spilled many of the Western Maryland plays.
 In the last quarter Coach Reilly allowed every member Of the squad to get in the game and several of the "scrubs" showed up in good form The first three days of this week will be spent in secret practice with a final scrimmage on Thursday About 20 men will be taken to Georgetown and while Coach Reilly will make no pre- dicton he has several plays up his sleeve that are liable to prove surprises and he is expecting. If his men remain in condi- tion to have the team make creditable showing for themselves.

 The commodore is A Red Box sup porter and Is therefore subjected to the banter of the Giant supporters and the pleas of the Aperican leaguers' fol- lowers; and no matter how far be- hind are his favorites, he invariably finds consolation for himself and fol- lowers in his confident expression that we'll get 'em tomorrow"
 That the local enthusiasts appreciate the efforts of MT. Orcutt in arranging for the matinee is evidenced by the crowd of fans that flock to the theatre each afternoon to hear the details of the struggles.

Fielding Sensational

Boston's half of the fifth brought out two of the fielding features of the game. Stahl slashed hit over Merkies head that Devore fielded sharply, holding the Boston manager on first. Meyers then let one of Marquard's wide ones get past him and Stahl made a dash for second. The big Indian was right on the ball, however, and by a long and accurate throw got the ball to the base ahead of Stahl. Doyle making the ou. A moment later Wagner sent up a high fly that Murray seemingly lost in the sun. He ran up on the ball and then started to go back rapidly to the fence
 It looked as if the ball was going over his head probably for a two base hit but Murray shot his hand in the air as he went backward and speared the bali amid the cheers of even the Boston fans. It was one of the best outhe1d plays of the series. Carrigan ended the inning by going out Marquard to Mer- kle.

PREVENTION OF RoPY MILK

staqnant Water.

A woman reader wishes help regard
Ing ropy milk. asking the cause and
ahe cure. The milk is strained at
night and the next morning the cream
is ropy and must be thrown away. II
Is not always easy to trace the cause
of ropy milk to its source Without
going into any lengthy explanation. 1t
may be said that ropy or Shiny milk
Is caused by certain bacteria. One type
may be found in dirty. stagnant water.
N the cows wade In this water their
TANKS and udders become the resting
place for this type. The bacteria are
easily transferred to the milk at milk
ing time. The stable becomes infect
ed. as It were. and also the utensils
that come In contact with the milk.
The germs lodge in the crevices OF the
utensils and readily propagate In the
warm milk. The cure lies In absolute
cleanliness. All utensils should be
thoroughly scalded. Lime is an ex-
cellent destroyer of all germ life. The
utensils may be given a coating OF the
slaked lime. then washed in boiling
water. It may be necessary TO give
the stable a thorough cleaning with
lime used as whitewash.

fodder may constitute the greater por-
ton of the bulky ration, together with
a grain ration of corn, oats, bran.
and a small percentage of linseed oil
meal or cotton seed meal.
1t Is best to mix these grains to-
gether, but If any are to be fed alone
let IT be oats.
Corn alone will prove unsatisfac-
tory, as It has a tendency to weaken
the lambs and lessen the flow OF
milk.
Be sure to have sufficient feeding
room, as the danger from crowding
and pushing when ewes are heavy
with lamb is very great and likely tc
cause some cases of abortion.
In conclusion 1t may be said that
every dead lamb or eve means loss
of about five dollars to the owner. and
1t behooves him to give the best at
tention tc his flock during the lamb

DAIRY PLANS OF
DANISH FARMER
Great Aim Is to Keep Largest
Number Of Efficient Cows
Possible on a Given
Area.

The aim of the Danish farmer is to
keep the largest number Of efficient
cows possible on a given area, COW
to az acres or less. Enough young
stock Is raised to keep the herd sup
piled with cows.
From their feeding of oil cake and
meal and the stall feeding of green
crops, an immense amount Of manure
of fine quality is made. and with their
careful methods of outstanding the sol
ids In a covered manure pit and the
liquids in a cistern, and applying in
small quantities at frequent intervals
during the rotation, the producing pow
er of heir land is increasing from
year to year.
The price Of cows is from $50 to
$50. Only the best heifers are raised
and with the record of the dam and
the quality Of the sire known, their
selection is comparatively simple.
The soiling crops used are rye, oats
and peas, oats and yetch and clover
and grass. These are hauled to the
barn and fed green, or pastured on by
lettering the cows along the edge.
In the cool European countries the
soiling season of the crop is much
longer. The cows are seldom turned
to pasture in Denmark. but tethered

long, which n attached to ten-inch
pin driven into the ground. ~
Water is hauled twice day to the
tethered cows. Many small dairymen
take the cows to the stable to be
MIXED three times a day.
The cows are moved five times q
day from three to six feet depending
upon the amount of feed.
Thus the crops are grazed on even
when two or three feet high without
waste from tramping. This is the
Danes chief point Of economy In the
summer feed.
Practically no grain is fed while the
cows are on grass. A few dairymer
feed a little oil cake to their best
mixers.
They are stabbed all winter, fed al
the straw they will eat and on the av
erage Of four pounds of hay. 40 to 10l
pounds of roots and about six pounds
of grain per day, consisting of Of

MANAGING A MATURE Bul.
Animal Should Be Kept In Well
Fenced Pasture-Ration of Wheat
and Ground Oats ls Good.

The service bull should be kept in a
well-fenced grass pasture with a shed
to go under in stormy weather during
the grazing season. Give a mixed
grain ration of wheat bran and ground
oats. Give two or three quarts OF
grain night and morning. II grass is
short. an armful of cornfodder should
be fed twice a,day. The COW to be
served may be turned into the lot
with the bull; after service. give
small feed of bran and while buN is
eating, throw the stanchion lever. thus
securely fastening the bull; the COW
may then be removed without danger.
By having the cows served so that
part of the herd will come fresh IN
the fall and part in the spring. a reg
ular quantity of milk may be had the
year round, without the necessity of
selling of halffat cows at ruinous
prices and buying in fresh cows at
high prices. When this method is fol-
lowed, the dairyman is always in debt
to the COW dealer.
The bull should be kept In good
thrifty condition. A cross bull may
often be tanned by turning one or two
dry cows into the lot with him. Bulls
should have daily exercise and De
grain fed. II this is not done, they
may become impotent or slow IN
serving. The young bull should be
kept in a separate pasture and not al
lowed to run with the heifers.
