COST OF REARING HEIFERS TO
TWO YEARS OF AGE.

1t is quite evident that there pre-
walls among farmers very wide varia-
tion of ideas as to the cost of rearing
a heifer until she becomes mother,
saw. at two years of age. One great
reason for this variation of Judgment
ia that it is almost entirely a matter
of puesswork. One farmer "guesses'
the heifer has COST 500, another S25,
and so on, until we have had them
"guess" the cost was as high as S6o.

9 Q O @ 9 9 @
ArbiterS Should Follow Plays

fronts an umpire every time he has
to make q base decision where the
runner only got the base, If at all, by
a clever slide around behind the
baseman and the latter had a hard
time getting to him to put the ball
on him. Both players will try to pull
the wool" over the umpires eyes by
their actions, which should be strict
ly disregarded. The only way to make
sure that your eyesight alone shall
be the test of whether the man is out
or not is to run close up on the play
and BE ON HAND so you can see for
yourself.
Many first basemen have a habit
of pulling their heel off the bag be-
fore they catch the ball. An UNI
pire should be careful to note wheth-
er the first baseman's foot is in con-
tact with the sack at the instant of
catching the ball or not. He should
also be sure to follow the course of
the runner all the way around the
diamond and observe whether he
touches all the bases. Most umpires
are watching the fielding of the ball
which is really none of their affair at
all, instead of watching what the base
runner is doing. The ball will come
in all right some way or other, and ii
is proper that you should have your
eyes on what is happening on the
bases rather than the way the out
fielders are getting the ball back into
the diamond
Umpires must also take firmly in
hand the matter of spectators crowd
ing out toward or upon the diamond
If he can not get them back himself
he should hold the home management
responsible for this disorder, and, aft
er giving them a reasonable time In
which to get the spectators back, he
should notify them that unless they
succeed in clearing them away with
in two minutes more he will award
the game to the visiting team
Arbiters Should Know Rules.
Umpiring is like playing in one re-
spect, and that is that the more ex-
perience one gets the more proficient
are they apt to become. That and
these few hints may be of much
benefit to one contemplating doing
some of this work but above all
make cure that you know the rules.
You may think you know them be-
cause you have a general idea of how
the game is played, but anyone who
thinks they know every rule in base
ball will do well to go right out and
buy a rulebook and read it through
very carefully from beginning to end,
and if they don't find at least a dozen
things in the game that they never
heard of before the circus lemonade
is on me.

According TO Mr. Humphrey. the

war.
Experiments are being conducted
with the narcotic bullet. which is said
TO be humane In both warfare and in
the killing OF big game.
In order to cause the bullet TO be

inserted a small particle Of morphia

Sea captains notoriously are reti-

and yet he knows that it is about as
bad a sea spot as can be found any

ocean. So, while the quostioners are
told that off Hatteras the water will
be as calm as anywhere else, captain
and crew always make things snug
for a gale or worse when approaching
the sea of the headland.
Congress has appropriated 81 ,400,-

Fierce War on Mosquitoes.

Travellers TO Atlantic City OF late
have noticed that the broad meadows
extending from Pleasantville to the
shore are being laid out IN checker
board squares by the digging Of deep
and narrow bitches. The squares afe
very small, and many have wondered
what the work means.
This is simply the latest develop
ment Of the war on the mosquito
which the state Of New Jersey has
been waging for some time 1t is
found that mosquitoes breed little, if
at all, in tide water. Their natural
breeding grounds are pools OF stag
nant water and these are many, all
over the meadows, where very high
tides leave water in the many hollows
on the MARSHES. The new plan is to
ditch these many square miles SO thor
oughly that 40 tide, however high, can
leave behind it any water, ell Of which
win be drained of in the bitches.
This on only part Of the campaign,
but it is the most prominent The
experts employed have had extraordi-
nary success elsewhere, but have
never tackled such a large proposition
They are confident that by the time
they are through there viii be no
breeding spot for mosquitoes from the
mainland to the breakers--a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished.
