What Cardinals Did 10 Mathew
Cardinals Bunting Makes
III Giants Look An1Qteurish

joke 1t became diamond tragedy.
Again and again the Cardinals shot the
tantaliEing little bunts to either side OF
the plate until six batters In all had
made It TO first over that route. The
first three were good for two runs and
from then on II was gallop. Think OF
1t. Out OF ten hits made of Matty In SIX
innings six OF them were well aimed
hunts! Never In his whole career was
Mathcwson SO completely bafflcd. In
ten years no team In the National
League had ever hunted him safely six
times
Miller lIuggins must be credited witt,
n neat bit OF baseball strategy. He had
figured In advance that the only way 70
beat Matty was to bunt him out Of the
game, and those Cardinal batters GER
tainly went through with the plans. In
| cidcntslly. they did tho best bunting
that has been seen on the Polo Grounds
since the Giants won the championship y
back In 1876. II McGraw had four men
on his club who could bunt as Konetchy,
wingo. IIuggins and Magee did, the
Giants would breeze through without an
argument. All season the Giant man.
agcr has been worried over the fact that
few of his players we're Good bunters
In fact. he was beginning to believe
that bunting such as was practised by
! himself. Keeler. Jennings and others IN
the olden days was lost art. The
| players OH whom he has been trying tc
| impress the necessity Of being good
bunters should get much beneht out oi
this practical lesson given by the Car
dinals. Matty was driven from the boz
for the first time this season.
But whether the Cardinals had buntet
or not the Giants might have been play

far the best game Of tho year and cam,
within an eyeiash OF getting into tn,

Last November the agricultural
train was accompanied by Hiss Helen

library commission. Those who heard
her outline the plan under which trav-
cling agricultural libraries are sent
out will be interested to know that
thirty-four out of the forty-five towns

these libraries. Those who are not
already acquainted with the plan will
be interested in securing for their 10
calities the advantages of these libra

has sent out all the agricultural libra
ries which 1t has on hand and later
applicants must wait their turn. 1t

tatees have been in the first barrel
two hours, draw Off the solution and
pour it over the second barrel of po-
tatoes. The first barrel can then be
dumped and refilled with fresh pota-
toes. When the potatoes in the sec
ond barrel have soaked two hours the
solution can be drawn off and poured
over the fresh potatoes in the first
barrel, and the same process repeated
from one barrel to the other as long
as there are any potatoes to dip. The
writer has found it very convenient to
have an old alarm clock around while
dipping potatoes BY setting the alarm
so that it would go off few minutes
before the time was up the danger OF
leaving the potatoes in too long and
thereby injuring them was practically
eliminated. s ...
The dipping solution should be
freshened up a little each time bar
relful OF potatoes is dipped by pouring
two or three gallons OF fresh dipping
solution over each new barrel of pota-
toes just before pouring In the old so
luton from the other barrel. The ad-
dition of fresh solution is necessary in
order to maintain the strength of the
dipping solution. The trouble in doing
this is slight If clean extra barrel is
kept on hand in which supply OF
thirty gallons of fresh mixture can be
prepared at time.
The old method of dipping potatoes
is in sacks. This method is objection
able because the sacks form chem

Feeding Dairy Cows.
Professor Hackers New Bull
ietin Just Issued From Uni

+ + + !. !. + !. i. !. 4. !. + /. + /. i. I.
While Minnesota has made remark
able progress in improving the quail
tty of her dairy products, the advance
ment in milk production has not been
so great. The average cow in this
state produces about IT'S pounds Of
butter year. Common cows at the
University Farm have produced, on
an average, 222 pounds of butter. This
increase has been brought about
through proper attention to feed and
care. Farmers, as rule, give too lit
tie time to the study of feeding. In
order to aid them in this study, Pro-
lessor T. L. Hacker, chief of the d.
vision OF dairy and animal husbandry
of the agricultural college,, has pre-
pared a bulletin in which he simpli-
fed the rules, and so arranged the Ia
bles that any farmer may easily learn
to calculate rations for the cows in
his herd. 80
The author was among earliest
workers on the problem of food re-
quirements for milk production, and
as result of his scientific investiga-
tons worked out the Hacker feeding
standard, a standard which is now &C.
cepted by Investigators and teachers
as the most accurate means of deter
mining the needs of the cow. This
that the requirements of any cow, the
Quantity and richness of whose milk
yield is known, may be determined by
referring to the tables. The compost.
ton of all our common feed stusfs Is
given in amounts from one to ten
pounds. Following these tables is a
simple explanation of the method to
follow in calculating rations. Examples
are given of rations suited to cows

voted to the care of the dairy herd.

Treatment for
Potato SCab.
BY A. r., kOHLER, Assist

-s-E- s..sass p -
The past season was favorable to
potato scab with the result that the
seed potatoes are more scabby than
usual on many farms. Potato growers
are alive to this fact and inquiries
have been coming in ever since the
first Of The year asking how to treat
seed potatoes for scaD.
: The remedy generally used in the
treatment of potatoes for scab IS for
maidehyde Of the strength known as
40 per cent. The solution for dipping
is prepared by mixing one pint OF for.
,maldehyde with thirty gallons of wa
ter. The potatoes should be immersed
In this solution for two hours. =,
= OrdihafS CITY gallon barrels, such
IS vinegar barrels, Which may be OBJ
tanned from grocery stores, afs very
convenient for this purpose. Where
but small quantities are to be dipped
one, barrel will do, but with larger
quantities it is more convenient TO
work two barrels together and have
as many sets of twOs as may be need
ed to supply dipped potatoes at the
desired rate.
Where two barrels are used together
as a working unit, hole must be
bored in the side at the bottom OF
each one and plugs fitted into these
holes. The holes should be from one
and one-half to Two inches in diam
eter. The barrels should then be set
up on a platform high enough so that
a good sized pail can be set under
them to catch the liquid when the
plug Is pulled out.
A convenient method of procedure
in dipping the potatoes Is as follows:
Fill one barrel with potatoes and pour
in enough of the dipping solution to
cover them. While the potatoes are

Convenient Method Where Running
Water Is Not Available.

Where there is no running water
in the house a barrel with faucet
placed about one-third of the distance
between top and bottom may stand in
the shed on washday. This should
be within equally easy reach of boiler
and tubs. This barrel or tank should
be filled with water the day before
the washing is to be done and the
water softened, if hard water is used.
1t is convenient to have this barrel
rest on platform raised high enough
to allow the water to run by gravity
through the faucet and be carried
through a hose directly into the tubs
is often so difficult to fill as to render
such a method impractical.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have pump very near the shed may
be able to use the rubber tubing to
fill both barrel and boiler by pumping
water directly into them; provided
the elevation of the two permit. A
homemade drain leading from the
shed to safe distance from the house
and well. and emptying where the
water will be carried off and the
ground kept deodorized and clean by
moving air and bright sunlight, will
very much lessen the heavy labors
of emptying tubs, and deprive wash
day of some of the dreaded exposure
which usually accompanies 1t. These
pipes must, of course, necessarily be
laid below the frost line.-Juniata l..
