It Ii impossible to write a sport

started his second century string OF
home runs BY bingle into the
bleachers in the eighth inning. In
addition to his splendid pitching.
Alexander butted into a double that
scored the first run for his team.
The game was Alexander's eighth
victory in row. In nine games.

MORAN BEST
CONTENDER
Former Champ Says
Game Is Not What
1t Used to Be
Jack JOHNSON.

There has been little heard Of
Jack Johnson since he fell before
Jess Willard In Havana. But Jack
is moving about just the same and
IT'S London which Is at present
graced with his presence.
Johnson has declared no intention
OF returning TO the ring. but boxing
Is still his hobby and he likes to
talk about the game. Now and then
he goes into comparisons OF the old
and new types Of men In the game.
Between times Jack II spending
money buying cigarettes for Eng.
lish soldiers at the front. He has
already bought more than $4,000 for
Tony Atkins. and intends to keep
doing that little thing for some time
TO come.
The other day he was approached
on the subject OF the best possible
opponent for Jess willard.
That's not an easy question TO
answer" said the former champion.
but taking everything into account
I should say Moran. at the moment
He is big enough himself not to be
worried overmuch by Willard's bulk.
and as boxer I should say he Ia .
bit in front OF Jess"
The names OF Young Ahearn and
Carpenter were broached an pos
slble opponents for willard. but In
those Jack saw no chance. He did
not think them big enough, and
when the old boxing maxim was
suggested that . good J54-pound
man was as good al anything on two
legs, Jack demurred. and then
talked on the matter thus:
"Oh. yes, that II all very well in
it's way. and. OF course, know you
could quote plenty OF names. such
as Charlie Mitchell. for instance. in
support OF the argument But I'm
bound to say think a few moro
pounds would be useful. for 164

er as well az big. The men about
that weight who have won big
events against much heavier men
have been exceptionally fine boxers;
maybe there has been a touch OF
genius about most OF them. And
those sort OF exceptions only 20 to
prove the general rule, after all"
Speaking OF the lights OF other
days, Johnson passed from a rem
iniscent to a critical vein, and said:
Taken on the average, don't agree
that the modern boxers are cleverer
men at the game than the leading
boxers OF a dozen or nfteen years
ago"

Youngsters Must Be Taught to

the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two filters a year

ers who keep sows only for one litter

HOGS ARE SUBJECT
TO SKIN DISEASES
Light Skinned Animals Are Some
what More Susceptible to
Mango Than Others.
by II. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)

by n. H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Hogs are subject to q variety Of
skin diseases. Two of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mango. s'."....
Pitch mango IL not a true mango,
but rather an eczema and affects hogs
that are not in vigorous health and
roundings. Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others. -E.s
The skin - at first red and perhaps
swollen. Small red spots appear and
subsequently change to blisters which
dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed is SIM
pie cleanliness and the sort Of feed
that will make the hog healthy and
vigorous 1t usually means a COM
plete change Of surroundings and plen-
ty Of good food.
Hogs are subject also to true mango.
This is caused by a minute animal
parasite. which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe Inflammation and itching. This
form of mango Is especially difficult
to treat because of the burrowing hab-
1t of the parasite.
Mango begins somewhere on the
head or neck and extends slowly back
ward. The hams are likely to be af-
fected sooner or later. The bristles
fall out and the skin becomes very
thick and wrinkled. Sometimes 1t is
thickened to an astonishing extent.
Z Hog mango is peculiar on account Of
: he powderlike surface of the crust.

What IN hog cholera? Stripped of
oil the big words that might be used
In describing 1t, 1t is swine disease
that costs the farmers Of the United
States more than a standing army and
Involves the lungs. kidneys. liver and
especially the intestines of the dis
eased animal, says an Illinois writer
In Farm Progress. It IL highly infec-
tious and Is more dreaded than any
other one live stock menace. and
there are plenty Of reasons for this
dread.
How do hogs get Il? In Q hundred
ways. A dog ranging through the
fields may pick up the germs Of the
disease on his feet, carrying them for
i've miles across country and scatter
them in your hog lot. A buzzard may
pick up a piece Of carrion from the
CARCASS Of cholera-slain porker and
drop 1t under q dead tree in your
fields. Or q healthy hog may get It
through consuming infected food or
water. Cholera may come down in
the running water Of o creek or river.
It may be spread by contact between
hog and hog or by shipping . hog in
cars used to transport diseased
porkers.
There are other ways and many Of
them, but not one is more important
than that of carrying the germs on the
clothes. the boots. the wagon tires or
any other objects from one farm to
another. II your hogs have the chol-
era, keep away from your neighbours
premises and ask him to do as much
tor you under the same circumstances.
10 there any section Of the United
States where . man can go and raise
hogs without having to fear cholera?
Not one, SO far as Is known. This
swine plague is about as universal as
the hogs distribution. 1t is especially
prevalent in the corn-belt states. but
that is solely because there are more
hogs there to acquire the disease. It
exists in the East, the West, the North
and the South.
