The calf should be allowed to take

1t daily until the calf is on an entire

There are few simple rules to
follow in growing calves on skim milk.
The milk must be sweet; 1t must be
as warm as the mothers milk and

calves injured by being fed too much
skim milk than there are by not hav-
ing enough. Four quarts at feed
twice per day Is sufficient for the
average sized calf for the first month.
Add spoonful of ground fiaxseed to
each feed and teach the calf to eat a
little corn meal as soon as possible.
Corn is the most economical food to
balance ration containing SO much
skim milk.
At the Indiana experiment station,
in Bulletin No. Al, record of work
is given to show the relative cost OF
calves grown on skim milk and on
whole milk. The skim milk calves
cost less than four cents per pound
and the whole-milk calves cost ten
cents per pound, and the calves fed
skim milk make as good growth as
the ones fed whole milk.

Eppa Rixey, IT,, Makes Good in
Major League First Year Out

Rixey has the distinction Of being
the tallest pitcher in the league.
He stands nearly six feet six in
his stockings and uses every cent?
meter of his height in his delivery.
Besides having a lot of smoke, he
has good curves, far better control
than the average left handler and is
an excellent fielder. There is no
question about him having the re-
quirements of a big league star. He
has exceptionally long arms and
these enable him to use tremeu-
dous speed.
Beat Best in League.
Out of twenty games he pitched
for the Quakers last season, the
Southerner captured ten, and many
of these from the best twirlers in
the league. With a better team
his record would have been vastly
improved, for wretched support
cost him a number of victories.
Doom is convinced that he has a
phenom in the collegian and would
not part with him for the price Of
an O'Toole.
1t was against the wishes of his
family that Eppa entered a profess
sional baseball career, and for
time Doom was in danger of losing
his new found gem, for his rela
tives made strong efforts to dis
suade him from continuing in the
game.
1t appears that Eppa is a real
blue blood, one of the f. f. VS. Of
Virginia. One of his uncles is Sur
geon General p NJ. Rixey, U. s. n,
retired with the rank of rear ad-
miral, decorated by King Alfonso
Of Spain, and surgeon In charge
during the last hours of President
Mckinley. Another uncle was the
late Congressman John Franklin
Rixey.
Eppa has troubles of his own be-
sides spending his 5000 per month
during the season. He can't find
beds long enough to fit him In any
of the big hotels where the Phillies
are wont to stop while on the road.
His real worries. though, are in the
sleeping cars, where the only place
he can rest comfortably is In the
aisles.
Besides being long legged, long
wasted and long -necked, Rixey Is
long headed and has shown more
baseball sense than any college re-
cruits, with the exception of Char
ley Sterrett, of the Yankees.

BY Sam Crane.

MO college youth ever gained
~ prominence on the diamond
more rapidly than Eppa
RiXey, the sensational young left
handler who flashed to the front as
a member OF the Philadelphia Ma
tionals last season. One year ago
the name OF Eppa Rixey was I'M
known to the baseball world. To-
day there IS hardly a city in the
country where the fans are not IA
miliar with 1t.
Rixey has the reputation of being
the best pitcher imported from the
college ranks In years, and it took
him less than four months to es-
tablish it. 1t did not require even
that long for him to demonstrate
his worth as a player, for less than
a month after he donned a big
league uniform Horace Fogel, the
Philadelphia owner, turned down an
offer of $4,000 for him made by
Charley Murphy, Of the Cubs. The
offer was made as a result of Rix-
ey's wonderful performance
against Chicago.
Rixey first attracted attention as
a pitcher while a student Of the
University of Virginia. In one
game there he struck out q men
IL in a nine-inning struggle, and soon
had whole army of scouts trailing
him. When ne graduated last
June he had offers from at least a
half dozen big league clubs.
Eppa Gets Big Salary.
All sorts of inducements were
made to the youth, who was finally
induced to exchange his sheepskin
for Philadelphia contract calling
for 5000 a month, a salary almost
equal to that OF a senator. 1t was
through the good graces of Bill
Rigler that Rixey was persuaded to
cast his lot with the Quakers, and
for the part the National league
umpire played in discovering and
getting him to sign he received a
handsome bonus.
Rigler aced as coach to the Vir-
ginia university squad last spring.
1t was while working in that ca
pacity that he became familiar with
the youngsters worth.
