EQUALS BATTING MARX
CutshaW Secures Six CIeancui
Singles in One Game
Brooklyn Player Goes Through Con
test With Perfect Average-Ties
Record Made by Clarence
Beaumont Years Ago.

Second B:seman George Cutshaw Of
the Brooklyn Dodgers carved his name
in baseball history the other day in
the game with tbs Chicago Cubs, when
he went through the nine inning bat
tie with six hits to his credit. His
average was perf53t for the day. This
is not q new recOF1, but ties the mark
made by Clarence Beaumont, formerly
of Pittsburgh and Chicago.
Beaumont made his record on July

adelphia and accomplished it by beat
ing out six perfect bunts. There was
not a question on any of the hits, for
they were properly handled and he re-
ceived the umpsre'B decision at first
base on every one.
Cutshaw's achievement was every
bit as glorious as Beaumont's, and
perhaps more so, as he raped out five
sharp singles on his first five trips to
the plate.
There was not q doubtful rap among
them, as he drove them all through
the infield, clearly out of the reach Of
the fielders. His sixth blow in the
ninth round was a high bounder over
the pitchers head and he beat fast
perfect play made by Bob Fisher.

WHITE MAKES GOOD MANAGER
Former White Sox Pitcher Proves Him
self Capable Leader-ls Praised
BY President Maier.

No one ever will be able to take the
place Hap Hogan held in the hearts
Of Coast league fans. Hogan had a
peculiar part to play that none can
equal. But Doc White, who succeed
ed to the leadership of the Venice
team upon the death of Hogan, seems
likely to win a place all his own, as
peculiar to himself as was that Ho-
gan held. With the Venice players
grief-stricken and disorganized follow.
ing Hogan's death, White took hold, got
them to hold their heads up again, and
is making them play winning ball.
Docs days as pitcher may be over,
but he has found his forte, as mana
ger, and is proving most capable
leader and one withal who is as popu-
lar as he is talented.
That White will manage the Venice
club next year and is really fixture
as leader of the Tigers, has been an.

SAVE ALL OF GOOD
BREEDING ANIMALS
Desirable Pigs, Lambs, Calves
and Colts Should Receive
Best of Attention.

The importance of saving all of the
breeding animals that would make de-
sirable sires and dams will certainly
be apparent to those who think OF the
subject seriously. There seems to be
a strong demand for breeding animals
to place at the head of herds. Many
who have never given animals a place
on their farms are now beginning
herds or wish to get breeding stock
for the purpose of making a beginning
with animals. Let every man who has
desirable pigs, lambs, calves and colts
take care of the animals so they may
be of use to the people who need
them.
The man who raises breeding stock
for those who need them deserves
credit. He is making it possible for
his neighbors to raise better stock.
BY his diligence in breeding live stock
he helps his neighbors and is making
it possible for farms to produce more
wealth.
Every breeder who has animals that
are desirable for breeders owes it to
his neighbors and friends as we'll as
to the country to advertise his animals
so others who need breeding stock
may buy. Poor animals should not be
used and it is useless to advertise
them. Successful breeders recognize
this and Gull out the undesirable and
offer only those that are valuable for
breeders. Every registered animal is
not suitable for breeding stock. Many
are not. These undesirables should be
slaughtered. 1t takes more than regis
tration papers to make a desirable
sire or dam. The animals must have
type and conformation, with pure
blood.-Farm and Ranch.

The present baseball season has fur
nished many surprises and disappoint-
ments in the work of the pitchers.
Many of last seasons stars have
failed to display the form that car
ried them and their teams to the front
last year. There have been two nota-
BILE cases of stars of years ago COM
ing to their own again. Jack Coombs,
formerly of the Athletics and now
pitching winning ball for Brooklyn,
and Joe Wood of the Boston Ameri-
cans, who is pitching with the same
effectiveness he did in 1912, after hav-
ing experienced two poor seasons.
Further than this, more youngsters
have made good this season than In
almost any two previous seasons COM

GOOD POINTS IN MAKEUP OF BROOD sow

weaned the sows should be culled and
those that are cross or nervous or
have produced small litters or are
inclined to be poor suckers, should
be discarded.
Good sows improve for several
years in the number and size of the
pigs they have at litter. The United
States department of agriculture COM
piled the records of over six thousand
sows and found yearling sows aver
aged 6.65 pigs per litter, and five-year-
old sows averaged S.4 pigs per litter.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the year-old sows averaged 7.S pigs
per litter, with an average weight per
litter of 142 pounds, while sows from
four to five years old averaged nine
pigs per litter with an average weight
per litter of &c pounds. The common
practice of farmers selling their old
brood sows each year and reserving
immature ones for breeding is a bad
practice, as the older sows are much
better mothers and their pigs have a
strong advantage in greater vitality

writer ever handled had choice lit,

be considered entirely out of the race
even at this late date, the final stand
ing will, in all probability, be decided
on the merits of the various pitching
stats. In this respect Brooklyn has
the edge on the other clubs.
With the exception of Rucker, Rob-
inson has rebuilt his entire staff, and
he has shown rare judgment in pick
ing moundsmen. Last year he devel-
oped Pfeffer, while this year he has
brought out Smith, Dell and Appleton.
If a manager develops one first-class
hurler during a season he is usually
satisfied. Robinson not only has de-
veloped three good men. but he also
secured Coombs from Connie Mack
at the waiver price, thereby proving
to his followers that he is one OF
the best judges of pitchers in the
game.

PREVENT SERIOUS
II. LOSS FROM SMUT
FormaIin Treatment Is Wholly
Effective and Economical
How to Apply Liquid.

Growers who wish to prevent seri-
Gus loss from smut will find the for
malin treatment wholly effective and
economical. The formalin may be
bought at any drug store at from fifty
cents to one dollar a pint and this
amount will do for treating about
forty bushels of seed. Add one pint
of formalin, which should be bought
in sealed bottles to insure full
strength, to forty gallons of water.
Mix thoroughly and apply to the
seed oats at once. Spread the grain
on a floor, or in the bottom of a
wagon-bed. Use a common garden
sprinkler to put on the solution and
sprinkle until wet, mix the grain with
a shovel and sprinkle again. Every
grain must be thoroughly wet with
some of the mixture or the smut will
not be killed.
After sprinkling, put the grain in a
pile and cover with blankets or sacks
for ten or twelve hours, or over night,
This will kill some smut which Others
wise would not be touched. Spread
the grain out and sow as soon as suftii

top edge of the lace down about an
inch and a half, to form a standing
ruffie. When this flounce has been set
about the waist, small chiffon roses in
light pink, blue and yellow with pale
green chiffon leaves, are to be set
over it in a row, with one color fol-
lowing another. These roses are i'm
portant and the negligee would lose
character without them.
A width of three or four inches is
cut from the top of length of lace
to form the ruff1e for the neck and
front of the body. The remainder OF
this length will make the ruffies that
are set on to the ends of the sleeves.
The narrow, standing rufle makes a
heading and single chiffon rose in
pink, with its little, pale green leaves,
is set at the top of each ruffie against
the net.
The negligee is worn with a cap to
match. 1t has a small lace plaque al
the center of the crown. A puff of
crepe is gathered to this and edged
with lace. 1t is drawn up about the
face on an elastic band. A few very
small chiffon roses are set with bows
of narrow satin ribbon in the Hounce
of lace that falls about the face.

SHEEP PARASITES
ARE TROUBLESOME
Scrawny, Unthrifty Animals Will
UusuaIly Be Found Suffer-
ing With Worms.

Next to dogs internal parasites are
the greatest detriment to the farm
sheep business. The trouble seems
to be aggravated by pasturing sheep
year after year on the same ground.
The best cure is prevention and the
practical way of prevention is chang
ing pastures as frequently as possible.
Scrawny, unthrifty lambs will usual
ly be found suffering from intestinal
worms, providing, Of course, feed con-
ditions are such that they normally
should be in good shape. Gasoline is
the best treatment.
Mix well one-quarter ounce gasoline
in three ounces sweet milk and drench
each lamb for three mornings in sue
cession. Before the first treatment
put them in a pen and give them no
feed nor water for Is hours. Repeat
the treatment again in three weeks.
Be careful not to let the lamb strangle
and draw the mixture into the lungs.

VENTILATION AND
LIGHT IN STABLES
Filth and Darkness Almost In
yariabIy Go Together-Put
in More Windows.

Provide plenty of light. A dark
stable is an abomination, regardless
of what kind of stock it contains. Filth
and darkness almost invariably go to-
gether. Procure some sash (old ones
are just as good for this purpose) and
at with glass. When there is ordi-
harily one window there should be two
or three. Three square feet of sash
Is none too much for each ten linear
feet of siding.
The windows may be made to slide,
or be hinged at the lower edge, and
held in place with a catch, providing
for a method of ventilation which,
while crude, is better than none.

PRACTICE TO BE PERFECT

One thing the old-time ball
players had on the present ath-
letes was their willingness to
practice hard to become perfect.
When John j. McGraw broke
into the game he was at the ball
park every morning at nine
o'clock, so say the historians of
the sport, and practiced batting
and base running and sliding to
bases and making unexpected
but successful plays, with only
the boys OF the sand lots play
ing with him, for hours before
the regulars showed up for prac-
tice. 1t was then and there he
thought out the "hit-and--un"
play, the delayed steal" the
"bunt," the existing method of
sliding so as to perfect steal
ing a base and dozen other
tricks that made him famous.
Early In the history of the
game, George Wright, the IA
nous shortstop of the old Bos-
ton team, with some pitcher
whom he paid out of 1is own
pocket, would practice fer hours
at a time the batting of bail
until he so perfected himself in
the art of hitting that he could
