BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

John Henry, who, together with Ed die Ainsmith, will form the nucleus of the Washington's catching staff. this season, reminiscing down at Char lotteville, Va, where the Nationals are training, said he considered Walter Johnson just as easy to catch as any other champion pitcher.
 Henry has been coaching the base ball candidates at Amherst College for the past three weeks and he is in per feet condition and anxious to work.
 1T caught Walter in eight or ten straight games last summer and I think he lost one of them," said Hem ry. 'I never experienced any trouble catching him. In fact, he is easier to catch than some pitchers I have seen.
 ''Of course, when Walter is wild, which is not often, no man can ham, dle him. for the ball comes so fast that it is impossible to reach out for it in time. had one bad day be- hind Walter, and that was .on the To- cal grounds before the diamond was switched. I had to look right into those advertising signs on the fence. and of course, it was hard .to see the ball. I had some passed balls that day, but I never had any trouble af- ter that catching him. %
 T don't think he is harder to catch than any of the others put in Ain smith. "In fact, I like to catch him, because he is usually true and puts the ball where you want it.'' What joy can there be left for Cin- cinnati baseball bugs? For years t, ey have anticipated pennant winner each winter and for years they saw their beloved Reds stepped upon in the good old summer tfme But there was solace for them Garry Hermann maintained an excellent place in his grand stand where sorrows could be drowned in the best brew that Red land boasted. and Redland boasts so g brew. Now Garry has taken away this lone hope. So confident is he that Hank O'Day will do honor to his ball club that he has ordered the gin m Il removed from the confines of the ball yard. Now suffering fandom will have to suffer through nine long in nings and then dash madly across the street.
 "Whitey Alperman will prove a gran hitter in the Southern League and will be right around the top all sea- son." says Nap Fucker, the great pitcher of the Brooklyn club, who is at Hot Springs. 'I played on the same club with Whitey and know just what he can do. He was good with the s ab- pstick while in the majors, and in the sunny cline down there should shine: All this talk about his arm going dead is all bosh.

Within the last week the Yale crew squad has been cut to an unusually small number. The policy of keeping the squad cut down to a few is to eu, phasize the importance of the club crews. The club crews will be given exceptionally excellent coaching in that Captain Romeyn and Coach Rod gers have arranged as far as possible to have graduate coaches come up from New York to help advance the club crews along the same lines as the varsity crew.

CUURENCYVS. CREDITMACHINERY

No one can think straight on banking
and monetary subjects who does moi
understand the elementary distinction
between money and the machinery Of
credit. In active commercial centres
more than 90 per cent of the exchanges
of goods are effected without the use OF
money. In the whole country probably
more than so per cent of the exchanges
are so effected. The system of book
keeping conducted by banks is the effec-
tive and flexible medium used as a sub
stitute for money.
The essential feature of this system OF
bookkeeping is the sale OF goods and ser
ices on time. These contracts of the
ale of goods and services are recorded
It banks by the exchange of promissory
lotes or similar instruments for checking
lccounts. These accounts are set off
gainst each other on the books of banks
~ mutual transfers of checks and drafts,
and in settlement of only final balances
is there any transfer of money.
Under present conditions, nearly al
ways in the fall of the year, very often
in the spring, and always in times of
crisis, difficulty is experienced in work
ing this bookkeeping machinery. The
primary difficulty is that business men
cannot trade for checking accounts the
promissory notes and bills of exchange
which represent the time contracts into
which they have entered. They are
therefore unable to meet their obliga
tions and are obliged to curtail their op-
erations.
The great question is why this ma
chinery fails to work properly at these
times and why does it not work better
at otlF lines?
t,Aswer cannot be that there is not
money. At all times hundreds
.s.,,ns in currency are under lock
y in the vaults of banks and of
!onal treasury. At the times men
when the demand for loans is
It, the demands so locked up are
gest. And large as they are, they
'se in amount as the pressure on
ess grows stronger. The remedy
1is difficulty is not more money.
Mines as much could and would be
as quickly locked up. The same condi-
tons which send the present supply into
the vaults would send the larger supply
there.
The remedy is such modification and
Improvement of our credit machinery as
will make possible the use of the cur
rency we already have Instead of more
money, we need a scientific utilization of
the present supply. We need elabora-
ton of the banking system. It is pre-
ciselv this that the country is at present
searching for Banking Reform.

TNSURING AGAINST Hen lice.

The time to fight lice is all the time.
Absolute cleanliness must be maintained
at all times. The drippings should be
removed at least once week.
Twice year, in spring and autumn,
a general cleanup should take place.
! The perches should be removed and
burned until the outside is thoroughly
charred. The buildings should be thor
oughly whitewashed. For this purpose
spray pump not only facilitates the
work, but does much better job, the
spray putting the whitewash into cracks
and crevices that would be difficult to
reach with brush
good spray pump will do as much in
an hour as could ordinarily be done in
day with a brush The perches should
be thoroughly sprayed every week or so
with kerosene to keep down the red
mites. Thest mites attack the fowls only
at night, and are found on the perches or
in cracks and crevices near the rOosting
place. Kerosene is an effective remedy,
but it should be applied frequently.
The litter should be replaced with
clean material at least once month.
The nests should be looked to frequently.
Straw is a poor material for nests, as the
hollow straws make nice hiding and
breeding places for red mites. Excel
siOr is preferred by many. However, the
best material for nesting purposes IS to-
bacco stems.
When the house has been thoroughly
rid of the pests the fowls should receive
attention. There are many lice powders
on the market, but the safest plan is to
make your own at home as needed. Farm
and Home saws the best formula is two
ounces crude carbolic acid, four ounces
gasoline and one pound air-slaked lime.
The carbolic acid and gasoline should be
thoroughly mixed and poured over the
lime, stirring the whole mass thoroughly.
Keep away from FIRE. After standing for
several days a fine powder is the result.
Use in a sifter-top can. Experience has
shown that this powder is very effective.

PLANTING The GARDEN.

1t is not always advantageous to plant
the garden as early as possible. Under
certain conditions Nature hastens the
growth of late planted seeds so that the
difference in time of their ripening will
not accord with the difference in plant
ings. This is particularly the case when
the season is late and rainy.
Plant for succession of the different
vegetables. A garden in which most OF
the planting is done at about the same
time will not give as good results as where
a period of time elapses between the
second, third OF fourth paintings of the
same vegetables. Particularly is this true
of peas, says Farm and Home. Where a
number of different varieties were tried
the best results were obtained from one
or two varieties planted in succession.
In sweet corn, however, this was not
so apparent. 1t was found best to rely
on several varieties as well as successive
paintings If the season was backward
or the paintings made unusually early,
sweet corn seemed to be very slow in
growth. On the other hand, the corn
planted later would grow very fast under
favorable conditions and almost catch up
with the first paintings. To overcome
this difficulty It was found advisable to
RELY on the paintings of different va
rieties.
