Many close students OF baseball are
urging that separate averages be kept
for left and right handed hatters. ow-
ing to the distinct advantage enjoyed
! by the former. Ii is pointed out that
a left handed striker ought to hit from
10 to 40 points ahead OF right hand
ed batter each season, because his po-
sition at the plate gives him at least
n two yard advantage over the right
handed swinger and two yards often
makes all the difference in the world
between an out and a safe hit The
right handed batter stands on the on
side of the plate from the direction
of first base and when he swings the
exertion pulls his body still further
away from the plate and faces him in
the direction of the third cushion. Then
he must recover from the swing when
he hits the ball, reverse his direction
and run over the plate on his way to
flrst. With the left handed sticker II
bis different. When at the plate he is
a foot or two nearer first base than
Is the home plate itself. When he
swings at the ball he pulls hts body
away from the plate and toward first
and In running fer the initial cushion
he does not have TO recover himself,
but goes risht along in the direction in
| which his body is pointed. Another
argument is that left-handed batter

year than the right-hander OF equal

Transmission Lines Glow at Night

High tension transmission lines can
be plainly seen at night owing to a bril-
liant glow which surrounds the current
carrying wires. This glow is called

electrical term.
Corona effect" consists OF con-
tinuous passage of energy through the
air between conductors. With high
potentiaIs and insufficient spacing dis
tances the energy losses may be an
appreciable percentage of the total
power transmitted. Corona effect Is
accompanied by a comparatively high
pitched kissing sound and at night is
visible as luminous envelop of blush
light. Proper spacing of the lines is.
therefore. of the greatest Importance
in order that the corona effect may
be minimized. II has been found that
the loss due TO the corona effect tax es
place at n certain critical voltage.
This voltage is variable depending
upon the Individual line and atmos-
pheric conditions.

Great Damage Caused by the Chinchl
Bug.
The department of agriculture states
that chinch bugs in go years have
probably caused a loss of $350,000,000i
to the American farmers. The bugs
are more effectively destroyed during
the winter months than later when,
they have left their winter quarters.
The burning of dry grass, leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields is the best method of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug is distributed gem
orally throughout the United States
except In the extreme West, and has
caused particular damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west,
The greatest losses from the insect
have been In Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when
full grown is about one-fifth Of an inch
in length. 1t is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids in
the destruction of the bug. This is
particularly effective to the north
ward in the Middle west, when the
grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences SO
that 1t cannot be burned. Leaving the
ground bare of vegetation permits the
bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, which kills them. 1t is often
possible to clear out hedge rows and
along rail fences, piling the refuse to
one side where it can be burned later.
1t Is most advisable to get rid of the
bugs before they enter the young

Keep posted concerning the condi-
ton and health Of hogs on your neigh
bors' farms, advises the department
Of agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor-
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the germs Of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet Of men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly in or
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
ly discovered.
II any hogs in the herd are found to
be "off feed" or appear in anywise
sick separate them Immediately from
the remainder OF the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. II there is a ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog chol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
described In Farmers Bulletin 379 Of
the department
When the first symptoms of sick
ness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble. This IL particularly true
OF swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease to spread In
the herd do not temporize, but imme-
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board Prompt administra-
tion of the serum is essential to sue

Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought of such diseases as

pig typhoid" for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given to
hog cholera by uniformed men.
