II may be interesting to base ball
fans to know that last week was the
6sth anniversary of the first regular
base ball game played between two
organized clubs. the Knickerbockers
and the New York Citys. which game
was played at Jersey City.
The Knickerbockers were the pio-
neers of base ball. having been organ
lied in 1S45, and In that year they
adopted the first code of rules gov
erning the diamond game. The sew
entieth anniversary of the adoption
of these rules will he observed next
September. and the New York mag
mates are considering a special pro-
gram for the day. September will
also mark the semi-centenary of the
first international tournament for the
worlds base ball championship, play
ed in Detroit and won by the clut
representing Hamilton, Canada.
The base ball fan of today woulC
scarcely recognize his favorite pas

yrrnpRETING FARM RECORDS.


Advice to keep farm records Is be-
ing constantly reiterated through the
many sources from which the farmer
ohtains new ideas. Little Is written
mr. snoken as to the vital question of
,heir Interpretation. Farm records !
,nust be correctly interpreted TO be of |
value. Moreover they may prove a
nositive detriment to the farmer who
iuterprets them wrongly and acts on
his Interpretation. One danger of mis-
Interpretation arises from the fact
that often the accounts with the In
diyidual farm enterprises. and with
the farm as whole, are not studied
from the same point of .tew, or, are
studied from point of view that
does not measure their true relation
AS agents of gain.
There are three modes OF measur-
ing the relative proftableness OF farm
businesses, involving respectively the
finding OF Cd the farm income, (2)
the farmers labor income, and CD
the farm profit. The farm income is
the amount left from the farm re-
ceipts after paying all the farm ex-
penses; the labor income what Is left
after interest on the farm capital is
deducted from the farm income; and
the farm profit the balance remaining
after a fair allowance for the labor OF
the farmer is deducted from the la
Dor income. In other words, farm
income is balance over farm expendi-
lures, labor income is balance over
expenditures and interest. and farm
profit is balance over expenditures
and interest and the farmers own
time
or these three. the labor income
has been found to give the best index
as to the net result OF the years
work II stands for what the farmer
has produced by farming or putting
capital 10 work in agriculture. CAPT

that the farmer can claim to have

that the most accurate point OF vieN
from which TO study and interpret tn
farm records is their contribution {

tive manner as the family table at
home is administered, and every one is
sure of getting just as much Of every
thing as he wants.
The daily bill of fare is by no means
stereotyped, for it varies every day
and Is never the same this week as it
was the week before.
In contrast with the present day gen.
eral mess aboard ship it is interesting
to look back and see how hundred
years ago our sailors lived in this re-
spect. In those days the men did not
have tables upon which to eat, but
spread Il mess cloth upon the deck
squatted on the floor around the fes-
tive cloth. The ration then. as now,
was governed by law, which specified
exactly what articles and how much
of each would be issued to the men
daily, and the following extract from
the law approved March 81, 1894, is
herewith quoted to show how frugal
was the sailors menu in those days:
Sunday.-One pound of bread, one and
one-half pounds of beef, half pint of rice
Monday.-One pound of bread. one
pound of pork, half pint of peas or beans,
four ounces of cheese.
Tuesday.-One and one-half pounds of
beef one pound of potatoes or turnips and
pudding.
Wednesday.-Two ounces Of butter or in
lieu thereof six ounces Of molasses, four
ounces of cheese and half pint of rice.
Thursday.-One pound of pork, half pint
Of peas nor beans.
Friday.-One pound Of salt fish, two
ounces of butter or one gill of oil and
one pound Of potatoes.
Saturday.-One pound of pork. half pint
of peas beans and four ounces Of
cheese, and there shall be allowed one
half pint of distilled spirits per day or

THE NAVY MENU:
PREPARED AND
BY W.. r. RYAN.

IF ''the Little Corporal had been
an admiral instead of the worlds
most famous general he would
have probably applied the follow
ing fundamental truth to the soldiers
OF the sea when he said that IAN army
travels on its belly for, whether on
land or sea. bodily fuel is indispensa-
BILE.
II you have ever had the good for
tune to witness company of Uncle
Sans sailors On parade you have I'M
dOubtediy felt a wave of admiration
and pride surge over you at the sight
of SO magnificent a body Of men, ex-
Knitting health and strength in every
line And you have perhaps pondered
the causes that combine to produce
such stalwart specimens of manhood,
for i'm no nation in the world is there
a finer, stronger. healthier body of men
than those who man the lighting SHIPS
of the United States navy.
One of the most important factors
contributing to achieve this physical
perfection in the naval personnel is the
food-the ration as the three meals
a day are termed. 1t is upon the foun-
dation of food hygiene that the other
health giving factors in our man-o-
wars mems daily routine find per-
feet base on which to build.
The ration compOnents are fixed by
law. which specifically states what ar
ticles of food and how much of each
shall be served to the enlisted person
mel daily. Thus the task is set to pro-
cure the different items of food and
see that they are prepared in manner
calculated to make them most attrac-
tive and nutritious.
Marketing for the navy has been
evolved into a most elaborate and sci
entific system. and when it is consider
ed that the navy market basket must
proyide for over $4,000 men every day
it is apparent that the task is no small
one. Like the wise, discriminating
housewife, the government demands
and gets always the best in quality and
purity in every article of food that is
purchased for the men. Take, for eX-
ample. from among the innumerable
items comprising the ration, the prin-
fit,aI item. meat. This one item is pur-
chased in great quantities, from 500.-
p00 to 10o0.0G9 pounds being not in
frequently purchased a one time. This
meat. including several kinds. such as
Hsef. pork. veal. fowl, ETC., is pur-
chased after advertising for bids which
must be based on carefully prepared

piled with, and not one pound is &C
cepted until these government experts
have assured themselves of entire COM
pliance in every respect with the letter
of the specifications and contract
The same elaborate system of speci-
fications and inspections which governs
the purchase and delivery Of this one
siduously and scientiiccl lily applied to
every other individual component of
the ration, including butter, eggs and
spuds Irish potatoes) down to canned
tomatoes. The religious degree Of ad
herence to the prescribed specifications
for each and every item purchased can
perhaps best be illustrated by reciting
that in one delivery Of about 5000
dozen eggs, ordered under navy con-
tract, 33 per cent of them were reject
ed as not conforming strictly to the re-
quired standard for fresh eggs. The
specifications COR the different items Of
fresh and dry provisions are interpret
ed very literally, and cold storage eggs,
like Oleomargarine, never find their
way to the enlisted mans table.
Nor does food inspection cease at
this point, for the naval instructions
require that upon delivery aboard ship
"a medical officer shall inspect as to
quality all fresh food purchased for the
general NESS" and thus the wisdom of
the following excerpt from the naval
instructions is apparent:
"Orders for the fresh provisions to
be taken on board preparatory to leav-
ing port shall always call for delivery
sufficiently in advance of the time set
for sailing to make it entirely practical
BILE to secure satisfactory provisions in
replacement in the event that the deliv-
cry made by any contractor should
prove on inspection to be not entirely
up to specifications in every respect"
And so it is that when the navy's
market basket is filed it's contents are
such as would make the eye of pure
food expert sparkle with pleasure.
The same degree of care and system
which is bestowed in filing the larder
| applies equally in the preparation of
| the food for the sailors table This
work is delegated to corps of skilled
| efficient cooks and bakers, whose Gull

cation on board ship, where, under the
direction of commissioned officer OF
the Pay Corps. they bake bread and
pies and concoct all manner of tempt
ing dishes which any good housewife
would be proud to acknowledge as hel
own product. with the result that the

promulgated by the Paymaster General
of the navy, in which he directed that
mo provision requisition will hereafter
call for any food substitute.
Adequate and satisfactory subsistence
is the very foundation not only Of real
efficiency. but of discipline itself. There
is no class Of purchases for the naval
service that needs to be more constant
ly watched than provisions, our men
being no poison squad but American
citizens. for whom we stand in the re-
lation of trustee in so far as relates to
the question of food"
1t is of timely interest to mention
that not many weeks ago the mother
Of one of the bluejackets wrote let
ter to the Navy Department in which
she complained that her boy was too
well fed on board ship. for when he
came home on visit her table. which
was always well maintained, did not
suit him any more.
1t is Of common knowledge that
cleanliness is a cardinal virtue through
out the navy. and this fact deeply i'm
presses itself on one after visit to
the galley and bakery of Dread
naught Scrupulously clean and bright
are they always to be found.
The tiled floors of the galley and
bakery are scrubbed many times r-ac.i
day, the big brass coffee urns and tJiodi-
ing pots are cleaned inside AMI out
daily. and all cooking utensils are Civ

and quickly.
And thus it is seen that Uncle sam
administers wisely and with Generous
