GOOD HAY PEN.

they will refuse to eat it. Here is a
good plan for making a hay pen into
which the hay may be thrown: Set
four posts into the ground, one at each
corner of a parallelogram by 8 feet
Nail strong by As to these posts ev-
cry foot from the ground to the height
of three feet. Leave space wide
enough for stock to get their heads
through easily and nail another by 4
or attach strong barbed wire in its
place. This will keep the stock from
jumping into the pen. If . by 4 pieces
cannot be obtained strong poles Sc
cured from the timber and trimmed at
ends so they can be nailed may be
used instead.--Iowa Homestead.

grain should then be covered with
blankets and allowed to remain for
twelve hours The blankets should be
removed and the grain stirred twice q
day until dry, requiring usually about
two days. 1t should then be bagged in
sacks which have been sprayed with a
formalin mixture Of the same strength
as used in treating the oats. The trays
should be sprayed thoroughly with the
formalin mixture each time they are
used

Sprinkle each trayful Of grain with

to sprout the grain and grow the leaf

There is illustrated a simple skele

Sheep In the Cornfields.

One great advantage in keeping
sheep in a dry season when the pas
lures are dried up and closely eaten
off is that we can turn the sheep into
the cornfieds as soon as the corn is

to the corn. The sheep eat any grass
and weeds among the corn and also
the lower leaves on the cornstalks
without detriment to the caring Of the

Nineteen hundred and twelve prom
Uses to be the greatest base running
season in baseball. At the training
camps this spring managers devoted
many hours to the development of this
most spectacular side of the game.
And since the season opened several
managers have ordered their charges
to cultivate the art in the morning
practice games.
The Giants won the National league
pennant last year on the base lines
and their example made the other
managers do some thinking.
At times ball grounds resembled an
athletic field. with class of sprinters
being coached. Half a dozen players
at a time practiced starting at COM
mand.
Getting away fast and reaching top
speed in. the fewest possible strides is
one secret of base running. Ty Cobb
is the most brilliant example of this
art today. He is at top speed in his
second step.
More Attention to Sliding.
Sliding is getting more attention
than ever. The value of the fall
away and hook slide" is appreciated,
and every player who can learn them
is being given every assistance.
At the training camp in Marlin
Enrinrs Toy Manager McC,raW rig

themseles into. The majority Of man
ayers, however, order their men to

they will learn more quickly. This is

long lead and feel" the instant it is
safe to start to obtain advantage of
every fraction of time between the
pitchers motion and the arrival of the
ball at second or third from the
catcher.
Third Base Target This Year.
Not only will you see more attempts
to steal second this year. but third
base will be the object Of q determined
attack. Third has been neglected too
long
Sliding is generally feet first. Terry
Turner of Cleveland is one Of the very
few players who still slide head first
Successfully. Iy Cobb made the
hook" and "fal!away" slide popular
because he was successful.
Men like Bill LANCE. Billy Sunday and
Mike Kelly depended more upon sheer
weight and their spikes than upon
ceverness when stealing. Few base
men could hold the ball after being
knocked down by them. ana many an
inGelder hesitated when he saw these
big fellows piling in at full speed.
Today the lightning use Of hands
and feet rather than brute force sue
ceeds. The ability to hook one foot
around a base, avoiding the infelders
hands, is of more value than such acts
as Snodgrnss was guilty OF when he
spiked Baker last fall
A good base runner makes life mis-

Giants have a false start from first
which upsets many a HEAVIER. The
