Baker Most Sensational Eastman in
 the Game Today


 As a dramatic hitter there are few in baseball to equal J. Franklin Baker, the miracle man of the Athletics
 Trappe's famous son has always deen a dreadnought of a whaler ever since Connie Mack paid the Reading Tri- club $22 500-no, that's wrong, it was S1,000-for his release: but in the last two or three seasons Baker has outgrown ordinary excel lence and developed into a forest fire incendiary.
 Cider has been called the cham pasne of the apple, so Baker might be called the champagne of baseball. He is always stunning the popuace with his batting flashes. He is today the most dangerous clcsn-up hitter in the game.
 Ills is never in hole. even if pitcher has two strikes on him No pitcher can feel safe until !. Franklin is sent back to the bench. Then he can unleash sigh of relief and thank the solar system over his good for tune, just like the chap who spies five-carat diamond on the sidewalk.
 It is the unexpected side to Bakers hitting that makes him such a box score luminary: It takes him only a second to switch an opposition victory to Mack triumph.
 Baker ranks. with Cobb and Zim- merman, as the most dangerous hitter in the country None of his hits are i fiu1y, but fly toward the outfeld with terrific speed. Neither is he aided by short fences of short bleachers. Every hit made by Baker is generally 100 per cent. pure. His average is pot boosted i by any fukes or abbreviated parks. On the recent trip west Baker made two record drives. His homer in St Louis was the longest made in that part of the field and he also punched out the longest drive ever made at the White Sox's park.
 Baker is not veteran in the point of age. He Is still youth and i'm proving each year Some of these days he will work himself into the batting championship of the Ameri- can lpaq1le

FARMER SHOULD KEEP SHEEP
Best knowledge Of Business Is Gained
Through Experience-25 Well
Mated Ewes Sufficient.

Every farmer who owns a quarter
section or more of land should keep
a few sheep. Twenty-Five ewes we'll
mated will be sufficie number for
a beginner. as the flock will increase
quite as fast as his ability to handle
them. For 1t must be borne in mind
that the business of sheep raising.
like many other lines of farming, is
one that can be learned only by ex-
perience, supplemented by all that
can be learned from books and agri-
cultural papers. Not more than 100
sheep should be kept on quarter sec
tion. no matter how much experience
one may have had raising them.
There are two or three difficulties
IN raising sheep. the greatest Of
which is keeping the pastures free
from infection with the various in
ternal parasites of sheep, the stom-
ach worm; the various kinds of tape
worms and the parasite which causes
what is known as nodular diseases.
This difficulty would be very much
lessened If We had reached the point
when on every farm the fences were
sheep tight. They can be made sheep
tight by the use of the ordinary barb
wire, but in my experience this has
been unsatisfactory. l like the woven
wire fence better than any other kind
for sheep, and other stock as well.
Where the farm Is thus properly
FENCED 1t is entirely practicable to
grow sheep with great profit
This involves not merely fencing
the farms, but the adoption Of rota-
tion which will enable the fockmaster
to keep his lambs on pasture that has
not been occupied by the older sheep
for two years. 1t should be under
stood that the stomach worm Is pres
ent In practically every herd Of NUT
ton sheep, and 1t is safe to say that
almost every eve over year old Is
infested.
These worms are voided in the drop
pings of the sheep and thus contain
mate the pastures. proving almost
sure death to the late lambs or even
lambs dropped in May. Where sheep
can be changed from one pasture to
another, however, the number of para
sites is reduced to the minimum. and
the losses are very light.

TYPE OF BOAR FOR BREEDING
Five Essentials to Take Into Consid.
Grafton In Selecting Head of
Next Seasons Pens.

In selecting the herd boar for next
seasons breeding pens five things
should be taken into consid ideration:
l. Get boar with registered pedi-
gree, but get a good individual also,
for there are culls in all litters. 2. In
general appearance the boar should
have smooth and well rounded body,
with good length and depth; carry
ing deep covering of flesh through
out; back arched with no depression
back of the shoulders; under line
straight, low in flank and floor OF tn
chest, and width of fore quarters
should not greatly exceed that of the
rear quarters. 3. Quality Is shown
by a smooth skin, free from wrinkles
and all appearance of coarseness. 4.
In form the snout should be short;
the face broad between the eyes;
eyes full and bright; ears refined and
neat, typical Of the breed; neck short
and deep, shoulders smooth on top,
fitting smoothly on to the body. S.
Avoid hogs with long legs and snouts,
shallow bodies, narrow heads, con-
tracted heart girths, or long pastern
combined with a small bone. Also
avoid hogs that are too plump and
chubby in appearance, the breeding
animal should have plenty of size and
a massive appearance
