that has been made in his team since
last season. Here is what he had to
say:
II am satisfied with what the boys
have shown SO far. I think improve
ment has been made in practically
every position. Baker, Magee, GIL
hoo1ey and Gedeon will prove for
midab1e quartet of stickers if fortunate
enough to escape serious injuries. Our
defense has been improved just as
much as our offense. Our aggregation
should be a team of rare hitting power
and unusual speed. l am not worried
a bit about the pitching staff. We have

Alexander and Walters are young men
who may be depended upon to improve
with experience.
IT am somewhat disappointed with
this weather." Donovan continued.
But it is part of the break l do not
believe the Yankees will suffer greatly
from the change of climate. We found
it rather cool in Macon. Throughout
our training this spring were pre-
pairing for just such weather as this
The cold, raw atmosphere will not set
us back SO much is it will the teams
that enjoyed warmer weather at their
training camps" ...
The Cincinnati club has been ma king
an effort to buy Bauman. the utility
infielder of the New York Yankees, but
has failed in this. as Bill Donovan does
not want to part with Bauman, who
will be his only utility infielder this
year. Bauman, who proved himself a
good hitter last season, is not wanted
for utility purposes by the Reds. He
was to become a regular and there is
much disappointment in Redland that
he could not be obtained.
George Boehler, Detroit pitcher, has
shown SO much improvement since |
Billy Sullivan took charge of him that |
II he keeps up his present clip he is
sure to be one of the Tigers best |
pitchers. Sullivan has succeeded in |
tanning this wild man. Boehler seems |
to have forgotten that he was ever |
wild and now has the confidence which |
does SO much to make a pitcher ef- |
fective.
If Sullivan has made winner out of |

RUSTED STRAW FOR FEEDING
Value Demonstrated by Experiments
Made by Canadian and Other
Experiment Stations.

There has evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to it's feeding value. Most of
the analyses made show that rust in
creases the feeding value of the straw.
The Dominion experiment station in
Canada and the experiment stations in
North Dakota and Minnesota, have
found that the rusted straw has
larger feeding value than rust-free
straw. The analysis made at the
North Dakota experiment station one
year, however, showed that the straw
had a decreased feeding value. The
reason for an increase feeding value
is explained by the fact that the plant
first produces the nOurishment in the
stem and leaves and later passes it up
into the head to fill out the kernels.
The rust interferes with this food
passing up into the head. 1t has a
little the same effect as cutting the
grain for hay.
The value of the rusted straw de-
Ponds on a good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
strikes the crop, how the straw is
cured, and whether it has any shriv-
eled grain in it. Cases have been re-
ported in which animals have been
harmed by being fed rustel straw.
One way to determine if it is harm
full is to feed it to g. few Of the less
valuable animals for a week or two
and observe the effect that it has on
them. Some other Tougkage should be
fed with the rusted straw and do not
make a sudden change from other
feed to rusted straw. Shaking the
straw to remove the dust as Tar as pos
sible is also advisable. Observe the
animals that are being fed rusted
straw to see what effect it has on them.

GIVING MEDICINES TO SWINE
BY Using Old Shoe With Hole Cut in
Toe, There Is Little Danger
of Stranguiation.

If it should be necessary to admin
lister medicines to a hog, simply cut
a small opening in the toe of an old
shoe, have an attendant hold hog in
as natural position as possible, in
sert toe of shoe in mouth, pour drench
in shoe carefully, and the hog will do
the rest (of course powders should be
liquefied with water). By this method
there is practically no danger of
strangulation, no danger Of breaking
drenching horn or bottle or any other
vessel that may be used, the hog in
trying to eject shoe from mouth will
simply swallow.
