NOTES FOR SWINE BREEDERS
success With Pigs Cannot Be At
tributed TO LGek-Modei Farm
Should Have Natural Shade.

Progression is the order OF the day,
and in no direction is there more prog
ress made than in the breeding and
feeding Of swine.
The time is past when we can con-
slider n mans success in swine grow
ing based upon luck.
Good drainage is essential on the
hog farm, and no amount of tile OF ar
tificial draining will take the place
of good natural drainage.
While hills and valleys make an
ideal place for a hog farm. the herd
should be kept as near to the source
of the water as possible because of
the danger OF the stock becoming af-
fiicted with cholera and other diseases
caused by the stream being contami-
mated by swine further up stream.
A model breeding farm should be
provided with a timber lot OF large
grove. There is no shade like nat
ural shade, and trees soften the cold
winds during the winter Their value
cannot be overestimated when proper
ly utilized by the swine grower.
The breeder who would be success
full In this age Of close competition
must have the closest and keenest dis
elimination OF what is necessary to
constitute an animal Of individual
merit, or more properly he must have
firmly fixed in his mind the exact con-
tour OF perfect pig. Then he must
have an idea of the kind Of breeding
stock required to produce such pig.
There are numerous breeds of swine,
varying not only in size. color. shape,
feeding qualities and general char
acteristics, but also in the quality of
their product.
1t is not the great big fat pig that
brings home the money, but the pig
that will weigh from 200 to 900 pounds
at from six to ten months of age that
captures the top prices.
The breeding animals OF the herd
should receive the very best care and
attention at all times, but with all Of
our knowledge of breeding and feed
Ing. the science of swine growing is
yet In its infancy.

II you wish to improve your flock
carefully. so you will know the hens
that are the best layers. put these
hens into house by themselves, with
a rooster for each ~ hens. Feed them
a good variety OF food, make them ex
ercise. and use the eggs from this
house for setting.
II this plan is followed from year to
year. a great improvement will be
made in the laying qualities OF the
flock
II you are more especially raising
poultry for market, then select your
breeding hens for those qualities, and
the improvement will be as great
along those lines.
A great deal is heard these days
about pure-bred poultry being so
much better than scrubs. and they GER
tainly are a great deal more profitable
than the usual mixed flock.
II costs no more to keep a flock OF
pure breeds than one of mongrels, and
a flock OF beautiful, high-bred fowls
look much better than one of all sizes,
colors and conditions.
This is an advantage, for the pleas
ure OF their beauty helps us to take
more interest in caring for them
AS regards their being more profit
able, the pure,breeds bred for certain
qualities are sure TO have those quail
tiles in greater degree than fowls
raised without any regard to these
points
Thus fowls bred for generations
from the best layers will lay more
cgss than others where this care has
not been taken and the same is true
regarding the size. flesh and general
table qualities. In the poultry bust
ness every extra egg and pound of
flesh counts, so this alone makes a suf-
iicient reason for good breeding.
There will also be in the pure-bred
flock a uniformity OF size, which
makes better looking crate of fowls
to send to market and the eggs will be
OF the same size and coloring, which
adds greatly to their appearance.

II sometimes happens that farmers

but not realizing the amount OF feed
required by cows giving a large yield,
they are soon allowed TO shrink in
milk because the feed given does not
provide sufficient nutriment While
cows in good condition can, for time,

Rising Bread.

DO not cover rising bread in bowls
and tins with dry cloth Instead,
cover with a damp cloth which has
been wrung out in warm water. In
cold weather the damp cloth should
be placed over dry cloth
AS result the dough will not dry
on the top and the leaves when baked
will be much more uniform.

once when loaves are placed in tins
and once Immediately before loaves

Preparations for Big
Game July 8.

Practice has been begun by the Out
landers and the Templeires, the Ma
sonic teams that will meet July 8 in
the game for the benefit of the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home. Each team
has obtained grounds for use until the
day of the contest, and will put in
many hard licks in preparation for the
fray.
When the rival players take the field
at American League Park the first Sat
urday in July in the only game of
more than ordinary consequence in
Washington, the Nationals being on the
road. they will be garbed in brandnew
regalia. Blue suits with white trim
mings will be the uniform scheme of
the Outlanders, while the Templates
will have just the reverse.

committee on arrangements. reports
that all plans are materializing to the
satisfaction Of all concerned He is be-
ing given great help by William G.

Outlanders: Mofit Bradley, the pilot of
the Templeites. and Andy Walker. who
is Roakes' assistant.
Plenty OF talent of the proper caliber
to make the game an artistic success
has answered the call, and many of the
best amateurs of the city will take
part. 1t will be a real contest, and
there is great rivalry among the Ma
sonic bodies that are supporting the
teams. F-aternities that meet in the
New Masonic Temple provide the mate
rial for the Templeites. and the Out
landers are recruited from the lodges
that meet in other halls.
Managers Roakes and Bradley. of the
respective com binations, are each say
ing that their team simply can't be
beaten, so it must be heads or tails for
the fans until the game is really
played. A crowd of unusual proper

Notes Of Happenings
in Railroad "Y" League

John Kilroy of the Car Department
nine, is one of the most versatile play
ers in the league. He is batting over
300 and can play any position on the
team. When the club is IN need of a
pitcher Kilroy can go on the mound
and give good account of himself. al
though he is generally found behind
the bat.
Nolan of the Auditors is one of the
best pitchers in the circuit. He prob
ably holds the strike-out record for the
league, although Forest Thompson Of
Station is close competitor. He struck
out thirteen men on the Car Depart
ment nine last Monday, although his
team was beaten. to 2, and in a game
against Union Station June 10 he
famed twelve men. Such work Is
bound to tell in the long run.
John Nolan, manager of the Car De-
lew one on the other managers. His
latest recruits are two pitchers. Risdon
and White, and both look like stars
on the pitching mound. Risdon is a
opposite. but both have a lot Of speed
and already have given good account
of themselves. Car Department has
rapidly forged from last to second
place in the league. and is but two and
one-half games behind the leaders, and
with these two new men Nolan's out
fit stands a good chance of landing the
pennant.
Maxwell of the Auditors is putting up
a great game at third base. He is
banging the horsehide in style and
covering lots Of ground around the
third corner.
Degnan of General once won an
other game for his team Wednesday
when he came through with timely
tap for two bases in the last inning
and drove two runners over the pan
for the only scores made during the
game Degnan is pasting the ball for
q mark over 800: he is an even more
valuable man than the averages show,
because of his habit of hitting at the
opportune moment.
Manager Dill of the Auditors has
shifted Mulroe from center field to
shortstop. and the change is apparent
ly working out well. Mulroe is
diminutive youngAter with lots of
dash and pep, and Is covering the short
field in good shape.
Billy Marceron of Car Department is
leading the league in batting with a
mark of .435. He Is a hard hitter and
has played in practically every league
about town for the past ten years.
