Dairymen in all parts of the State
. were recently asked in letters sent out
from the Department of Agriculture for
their opinion as to the adyisability OF
sthe dairy department scoring the
stables and milk rooms on the farms In
accordance with score cards enclosed in
the letters. This was but one Of the
questions asked in the letters; there
were many others The department is
sending these letters in order to have
some direct information from each sec
ton Of the State as to how 1t can best
assist to develop the dairy interest at
once.
. The department officers state that
they are ready to give all possible as
sistance In this industry, and that the
constantly increasing demand and sat
isfactory prices for good milk ana
cream in the great consuming centers
fof New England make 1t imperative to
push this industry in Maine immedi-
ately.''
7 AS possible means of improving the
dairy situation in the State 1t has been
suggested that the dairy department
scoro the stables and milk rooms on
the farms. The items included on these
cards will be of great interest to
farmers. The scoring comes under two
general heads, Equipment" and
Methods"
Under the equipment head the cows
are first taken into consideration. Their
general condition, health, feed and such
details are carefully noted. The leca-
ton construction, light, ventilation and
yards of the stable are next taken into
consideration and ranked according to
their merit. And in the milk room
these conditions, together with a list
ing OF the equipment are asked.
The second general basis of ranking
is upon methods. The cleanliness of the
COWS, the cleanliness of the stable, and
the cleanliness of the milk room are
the first counts The method of milk
ing is then considered, and the final
scoring comes on the care of the milk
The methods of cooling. storing and
transportation are scored according to
their worth.

That the people of Boothbay Harbor

Capt. George A. Carlisle, who was
obliged to abandon the fve-masted

Point cannons were fired, and as the
craft came up the harbor there was a
display of fireworks, while church bells
were rung and whistles screeched. Capt
Carlisle's son and three daughters were
at the gangplank to greet him, and when
he saw them he was 80 overcome tears
came to his eyes. He shook hands with
few, but was so affected by the demon
stration that he FASTENED to his home
where his wife had supper awaiting him.
During the week that the Prescott Palmer
was not reported and so many other YES
sells foundered, Mrs. Carlisle gave up her
husband as lost. Since she received news
of his recovery she has been awaiting his
coming, and it was a joyous party that
assembled around the supper table Thurs

FOURTH MAJOR LEAGUE IS LATEST
NEW FOE OF ORGANIZED BASEBALL
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

There is a new baseball league
Matching.
The seeming success of the
Federal league in grabbing a slice
of the pie that has been the mo-
nopoly of the organized baseball
capitalists has encouraged finan-
ciaI venturers to attempt the
formation of another circuit.
The circuit which has been ar
ranged consists of Chicago, Mill
waukee, Cincinnati and Detroit
In the west, Philadelphia. Seran-
ton, Pa, New York and either
Toronto or Boston In the east.
The promoters are planning to
form a schedule non-conflicting
with the American league and
they desire to work in harmony,
IL not in connection with. the
Federal league. This is the first
organization.
to me with a request that l send
out the news and laid before me
plans upon which they have been
working for nearly two months.
They showed me proof that they
have interested considerable CAPT
tai and that they have made prog
ress toward the formation OF
their league. In Chicago and
Scranton and New York their
plans are well advanced, and
they are assured of formidable
backing in Toronto.
Instead of striving to break
loose with a league this season,
they are organizing for next year.
John Powers, who was kicked
out as president of the Federal
league. which he founded, is the
organizing genius of the new
league. At present he is rather
chaotic as to what alliances he
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-06-01

chaotic as to what alliances he
wants to make.
Powers started the Federal
league. He had a better idea
than the present one. He wanted
to build up a business. develop
his own players and grow Into a
major league instead of starting
out as a major league and at
tempting to raid the majors. He
and his club owners did not have
enough money to carry out their
plan and they failed.
Beyond a doubt the early sea-
son successes of the Federal
league and the fact that they
have been outdrawing the old
leagues has created a field for
take-a-chance investors who be-
lieve there is big money in base
ball as an amusement enterprise
That is what makes Powers
scheme look feasible. Also the
threat of a fourth league may
hasten the day that the powers
of organized baseball will see
the light and take the Federal
league into their fold and end
the war. tfx
