Misers With Minutes.

A minute is the efficient mans ally
in getting work accomplished. The
unused minutes in most lives are suf-
fcient for the learning Of foreign
language. A native Chinese Christian
preacher, who in addition to his
evangelistic work oversees several
schools and cares for the Y. M. G. A.
work, became proficient in the use of
English. One Of the American mis-
sionaries wrote that he was able to
accomplish this by using the spare
minutes that others spent in idle talk.
Recently friend expressed surprise
that a man who seemed always to be
responsible for work sufficient for sew
eral meh nevertheless found time to
read so much. 81 put the reading into
inches of time here and there" he
explained. Are there things that you
are longing to do If there were time?
Do not wait for the elusive hours, but
snatch the ever-at-hand minutes and
begin to do those things.-Sunday

KEEPING HOG LOTS SANITARY
Ounce of Prevention 10 Worth Moro
Than Pound of Cure--Provide
Clean, Wholesome Food.

Never wait until your hogs begin
getting sick before you begin to clean
up and improve the sanitary condition
of their quarters. In this matter an
ounce of prevention is worth more
than a pound of cure. The plan
should be to prevent by cleanliness,
good sanitation and plenty of pure,
fresh water, your hogs from getting
sick, and it can be done by the
proper kind of treatment.
! Give your hogs plenty Of clean pas
lures where there are no longer hog
disease germs in the soil, and provide
clean, wholesome food; scald, disin-
feet and clean the troughs and swill
barrels while the hogs have good
health, and don't wait until they are
sick to begin it. This should be done
frequently during warm weather espe-
cially.
And above all things, don't compel
your hcgs to lie in their own filth, or
any other filth for that matter, for it
breeds disease. Clean quarters, clean
food, clean water, pure air are tho
best preventives against hog cholera.

SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Desirable to Have Fields Fenced Or
Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs
From One to Another.

By G. W. BARNES. Arizona Experiment
Station.)
While few hogs can be raised con-
fined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept clean, they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically II
they have plenty of alfalfa range.
1t is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced off into suitable areas,
so that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture to another. This will nor
only provide fresh pasture, but Will
give an opportunity to cultivate, and
If need be to disinfect.
Practically all cases Of intestinal
worms, which are common in swine,
are contracted from infected grounds;
therefore, by pasture rotation you can
help keep your hogs free from these
parasites.

CATTLE KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Ground Wires Attached to Fences
VIII Afford Protection During
Sudden Electrical Storms.

During the season of severe thunder
showers many cattle are killed by
lightning. Why not reduce the risk?
Briefly, here is what one interested
party recommends as a step toward
protecting animals in pasture during
sudden electrical storms:
Ground pasture fences at least
every 20 rods.
Use No. 9 wire. Staple 1t down the
post across the strands of fence wire.
Extend the wire into the ground about
three feet, and allow 1t to project a
few inches above the top of the post.

BESCHER SHOWS TO
GOOD ADVANTAGE
Jeff Tesreau in Mid.Season
Form-Piez Leads All in
WELDING the Bat,
BY HEYwOOD BROUN.

Marlin, Tex, March 10 A number
of promising young men who are here
seeking jobs learned to-day that the
positions which they want are already
filled. The knowledge came 10 them
in the course of an eight-inning game
between the Regulars and the lrregu,
lars. In this instance youth was served
with nothing In particular. for the
score stood 6 TO 0 in favor Of the vet
Grams.
Party lines were strictly drawn, and
the team which McGraw put in the
field to oppose the combined forces OF
the recruits and substitutes presented
much the same lineup which the Polo
Grounders will see when the Giants
take the field for the first game.
The only probable changes are in the
outfeld, where Robertson or Murray
may displace Bescher. But IN the
games here Bescher has shown to great
advantage. Just now he is playing with
more brilliance than any man N the
camp. Possibly the threat of st. Louis
has urred him TO an effort to win
regular place with the Giants.
Both sides played errorless ball to-
DAY, but the pitching Of the trio as
signed to the veterans held the recruits
q helpless. Only six hits fell to their lot.
and these were divided among three
men--Robertson, Cook and Piez. In fact,
Piez, with three ssfeties, led all the
batters of the day.
Stroud, who began in the box for the
Regulars, was good, but Tesresu, who
made his first appearance, and Schupp,
were even better. Although JEFF was
taking part in his first ga.le, he is well
advanced In addition TO a considerable
amount of work this winter he has
spent lot Of time down here in vio-
J mt efforts in the handball court.
As result, he is at least month
ahead of the batters, and with tins
start il may be that he will keep them
from catching up at all this season.
At any rate. the big spitball pitcher
hurled the ball over the plate with
much force and abandon. Iometimes Il
was not over. Now and again the ball
seemed destined to find Judgement in
the ribs Of the batter or TO trespass on
either ear. At such times the man at
the plate was conscious of low but
distinct singing sound as the ball sped
by.
If Schupp had less speed, he also had
greater curve equipment, and In TWO
innings he struck out two batters.
But the pitchers of the recurlts held
no such mastery over the hitters. Fred
Cook, the veteran Of many minor
league campaign, has not yet ironed
ell the kinks out of his arm, and when
he stepped into the box to start the
game he did not seem TO have much
OF an equipment. Nevertheless, he
New-York tribune., 1915-03-13

used his head to good advantage and
got by without being punished over
severely.
Two runs we're scored against Cook.
A single and steal by Bescher paved
the way for the first run, while q com
bination of triple by Fletcher and a
double by Hickory" Johnson brought
about another.
Fromme succeeded Cook, but that
was the limit of his success. for in the
fifth he could not get the ball past the
bats of the hitters with any degree Of
regularity. A long tee shot by Fred
Merkle which was good for three bases
was the backbone OF an attack which
brought three runs across the plate.
Tomorrow the Regulars will go to
Dallas. while the Irregulars are booked
for Waco. Doyle, who is a bit under
the weather. will be allowed TO lay off,
and Beatty will play at second for the
Regulars. Erickson, Schauer, Glass
and Williams will pitch for the vet
Grams. while Stroud, Perritt, Kirmayer
and Schupp will work with the young
sters. McGraw will probably go to
y AGO.
The lineup follows:
Regulars -Bescher, CT; Burns, H.;
Lobert, 3D.; Doyle. 2b.; SnodgrssA RI;
" rkle, lb.; Fletcher and Beatty, ss.; /;
Johnson. G; Stroud, Tesreau and
Schupp, p.
Irreguiars H.; Grant, 2b.;
Kores, 3b; Robertson, CT; Thorpe. RI;
Brainsrd, ss.; Holke. h.; Marshall, c.;
Cook, Fromme and Flanagan, y.
The score by innings follows:
Is:sa,.1,..... Rs:s5..;.:.. ! SSs$ - - u 9
When "Hickory" Johnson went into
third base standing up and was tagged
out in the second inning McGraw re-
ma ked: "'Hickory' has been with US
two years and he hasn't slid yet"
Fred Cook is an old campaigner and
is wise player, but he was guilty of
thoughtless play in the first inning,
when he took wind-up with runner
on first and permitted him to trot down
TO second.
Being a pitcher, Cook has not both
cred with batting practice, and this
afternoon he picked up a bat for the
first time this season. On the first ball
pit he'd he drove a clean single to
centre.
Bill Ritter is laid up with an attack
of grip, but he hopes TO be back on the
pitching mound within a few days.

YALE NOW KING
AT BASKETBALL
Blue Five Easily Defeats
Dartmouth in Final
Game of Season.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

New Haven, March l2.-Yale de-
feated Dartmouth here tonight at bas-
ketball by q score of 36 to 10, and
thereby clinched the intercollegiate
championship. The game was rather
slow, the Hanover team being no match
for the speedy Blue five.
Yale's passing and beautiful team
play had the visitors at sea from the
start. and the first half ended II to 4
in favor of Yale. The Dartmouth for
wards were so closely guarded that
they had few tries for baskets, and
they were compelled to resort to long
shots. Yale's policy was to try for
goals only at close range, and this was
far more effective.
Little Arnold and Kinney were the
leaders in the Yale attack, but until
substitutes were sent in the entire Blue
machine worked smoothly for point
after point. Captain Stackpole, who
has been out of the game for week,
went in for Weiner TO finish the season
in active service.
Winship played the best game for
Dartmouth To-night's victory gave
Yale her first basketball championship
in eight years.

Although the high cost Of living has
not shown any downward tendency
recently, and railroad fares are just
as much as they we're before, officials
Of the Federal League baseball clubs
journed to this city from Chicago and
Indianapolis yesterday, for the purpose
of holding a conference at the Hotel
Biltmore, as to their action on half
a dozen players, who had jumped back
to the o. B ranks after signing Fed
eral League contracts and as to the
transfer of the Kansas City franchise
TO Newark.
After sitting in solemn conclave on
the cases of Wingo, Caldwell. Perritt,
Hagerman, Austin and Walter John
son the owners threw up their hands
and decided not to take any legal ac-
tion unit. Judge Landis, of the Federal
Court, had handed down his decision
in the antitrust suit.
Those present at the conference
were James A. Gilmore, president OF
the league; Charles II. Weeghman,
president Of the Chicago Feds, and ".
and g. S Ward. of the Brooklyn Feds;
Edwin ". Griner. president OF the
Pittsburgh team: Carroll Raisin, presi-

and Harry Sinclair, the purchaser Of
the Kansas City franchise, which was
transferred to Newark, and Edward T..

After shaking hands all around and
making arrangements TO hold their
next conference in Chicago, the own
ers hurried from the Biltmore TO see
