INCIDENTS OF BONE"
Queer Things Done by Heinis
Zimmerman of Cubs.
Left Third Base Unprotected to Carry
Bat to Jack MiIier-one Play in
Cardinal Game Shows He Has
Lots of Cunning. s5N- 2

The recent peculiar incident in a
game in Chicago between the Cardl-
nails and Cubs, when Jack Smith of
the Cardinals stole third while Heinie
Zimmerman left the base unprotected
to carry Jack Miller's bat to him at
the plate, has recalled good many
incidents of ''bone" in the Great Zinl's
career. but one must not suppose that
all the queer things he figures in are
due to mental phases. For instance,
Tim assisted in a play In a game be-
tween Cubs and Cards last year that
showed he has lot of craft in his
makeup. =" e.1'e- :.
The game was wild, woody affair In
which everything seemed to happen
and finally Zimmerman came to bat.
He had been spiked badly and had
been out of the game for days.
He drove a ball far to center and
limped to second, then hobbled to
third. There were two out and two
strikes on the batter. Manager Bres-
nahan delayed the game. He rushed
to third base and ordered zimmerman
to get out and let him run.
He asked Manager Higgins consent
to let him run and still keep thinner
man in the game. He made everyone
in the game and most of the spectators
know that he wanted to run for Heinie.
Then he whispered to Zimmerman to
steal home on the next pitched ball.
Thrown off guard the Cardinals paid
no attention to the cripple and thinner
man stole home and won the game.
One of the funniest things in which
Zimmerman has figured occurred in
Brooklyn last year. when he walked off
first base, which he had reached on a
hit, and had nearly reached second be-
fore the paralyzed Superbas awoke

YOUNG LAMBS LIKE
THEIR GRAIN FEED
Creeps viii Aid Materially il
Rapid GroWth-SatiSfaCtory
Ration Is Given.

If creeps are provided where the
lambs can be fed grain away from
their mothers it will aid materially
in their rapid growth. 1t is surpris
ing how early they will learn to like
grain. BY the time they are two weeks
old they will always be around al
feeding time. A place II by 10 fee'
will be room enough for SO to *
lambs. In this is placed q trough IL
to 16 inches wide and to 3 inches
deep in which they are fed twice a
day. 1t is worth while to be punctua1
in the feeding. No stale grain should
be left in these troughs. Clean them
out. A satisfactory ration will be
found to be one made Of two parts
cornmeal, one part bran and one part
oilmeal. Lambs like oats, too. Some
sheepmen prefer to fit up the en-
frances to the creeps with two rollers
held in place by springs. This is a
good way to take care Of lambs Of diff
ferent sizes and the rollers prevent
tearing the wool. .ass

prepared by the United States Depart
satf ment of Agricultural
The gradual but steady decline in
the carrying capacity of native pas
lures presents a serious problem for
the livestock industry. The aver
age carrying capacity of the 100000
900 acres of public lands outside of
the national forests, which are practi-
cally all used for grazing purposes, is
today estimated at % per cent less
than what it once was. The privately
owned pastures show the same de-
cline. On the other hand, the carrying
capacity of much of the unfenced
grazing lands within the national for
ests has been increased in recent
years by the adoption of what is
known as deferred grazing.
This system is explained in an arti-
Gle in the new Yearbook of the de-
partment of agriculture, Improve
ment and Management of Native Pas
lures in the West" This article gives
as the causes of pasture deterioration
overstocking and premature grazing.
1t has been the general belief that If
stock came off the range in satisfac-
| tory condition the range was not over
stocked. In the majority of cases,
however, this is not true. Animals
which are allowed to Craze the green
feed of the choice forage plants near
ly as fast as it grows may for the
time being get enough to eat, but to
rob the plants continuously of this
forage robs them also of their labOra-
tory for manufacturing plant food, and
they are gradually starved out of exr
istence. In the course of five years or
so, the better forage plants are gradu-
ally reduced and their places taken by
less desirable grasses and weeds. The
condition of the stock, therefore, is not
in itself safe way to judge whether
a range is overstocked or not.
Premature grazing is injurious not
only because the vegetation, when soft,
is badly damaged by trampling, but be-
cause the plants are not allowed to
mature their seed. In practice, some
part of the range must be grazed
early in the year. When deferred graz
ing is adopted, however, part of the
range is set aside and the seed al
lowed to mature before the plants are
grazed.
Deferred grazing was first practiced
by the forest service of the United
States department of agriculture in
studies on the depleted ranges of an
area in northwestern Oregon. An area
with one-fourth the carrying capacity
required for q band of sheep for an
entire season was protected against
grazing until the important plants on
1t had matured seed. After which it
was heavily grazed. This caused the
sheep to aid in planting the seed by
trampling it into the ground. The fol-
lowing year the same area was again
protected until after seed maturity and

as far as did those of the alteration

was made to bring England into nne

who had calculated leap-year differ

apparent loss of IL days at the begin
ming of September, and in certain parts
of the country riots took place, dur

HAVE QUEER NAMES
HAWAIiANS SHOW PICTURESQUE
NESS IN THEIR CHOICE.
Fancy Literally Drawn Upon by the
IsIanders-Question of Gender or
Appropriateness Matter of
Little Consideration.

The natives of Hawaii are singular
iy picturesque In their choice OF names.
Mr.. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost,
The Fool, The Man Who Washes His
Dimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Liz
card, The Husband of Kaneia Ga male
dog), The Great Kettle, The First
Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom-
ach, Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The
Tenth Heaven are all names that nave
appeared in the city directory.
They are often careless of the gen.
der or appropriateness of the names
they take. A householder on Bere-
tania street, Honolulu, is called The
Pretty Woman (Wahine Maikai); a
male infant was lately chriStened Mrs.
Thompkins; one little girl is named
Samson; another The Man; Susan
(Kukena) is a boy; so are Polly
Sarah, Jane Peter and Henry Ann. A
pretty little maid has been named by
her fond parents The Pig Sly (Hale
Paul. For some unknown reasOn-or
for no reason at alone boy is
named The Rat Eater (Kamea OF l
Ole).
Rev. DR.. COan of Hawaii possessed
the love of his flock. One morning a
child was presented for baptism whose
name was given by the parents, MilsN
when the ceremony was finished the
parents assured the doctor that they
had named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael" said
the doctor, suppOsing Mikia to be
aimed thereat.
"We always hear your wife call you
Mikiap answered the mother. She
had mistaken Mrs. COan's familiar
'my dear" for her husbands given
name.
An old servant in Doctor Wright's
family at Kohala caused her grand
child to be baptized in church The
Doctor (Kauka); that was it's only
name. BY way of compliment to the
early physicians many children were
named after their drugs, as Joseph
Squills, Miss Rhubarb, The Emet1c,
The Doctor Who Peeps In at the Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even
disgusting, are willingly borne by their
owners; others convey pleasing and
graceful sentiment Among the latter
are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Ria LAMB 3,

bear more than one or two seasons be-
fore it is plowed under and a new

people who claim they are so busy they
cannot grow strawberries, but this
argument will not apply to the rasp-

FARMER ARGUES FOR
CALVES IN AUTUMN
Every Condition Is Better for Dali
ryman Then-Young Animals
Get Better Start.

Here are some arguments that a
thoughtful farmer puts up for having
the COWS freshen in the fall instead of
spring:
'The fall calf usually gets better
start in the world than the one that
arrives In the spring. The farmer
will have more time to take care of
the calves in winter than summer
the fall pastures are coming on, fur
nishing the cow an abundance of good
green stuff that produces large milk
flow. The fall pastures are more nour-
shing than the spring grasses, owing
to the fact that they do not contain so
much water. There are no flies or
heat to bother either the COW or calf,
and if dropped early enough the calf
will get a good start and learn to eat
we'll before cold weather sets in.
"N1ilk products are much easier
taken care of In winter than summer
and milk and butter prices are at
their best at this time"

was then only moderately grazed. Thi,
gave the seeding plants from the frs
years seed crop a chance to develol
good root system. BY following this
course on each quarter of the rang
In turn the entire area was reseedeC
naturally without depriving the stoch
of the forage on any part of the rangi
in any year. The results obtained
under this plan were compared Will
similar ranges grazed throughout the
season each year and with fences.
areas that were not grazed at all.
1t was found that deferred grazing
resulted in a much greater reproduc-
ton from seed than either Of the other
methods and that the production of
good forage species was particularly
great. With lands totally protected
against grazing the seeds terminate on
the surface of the ground, but, not
being planted deeply, the root systems
of the resulting plants are unable to
reach the moist lower soil and the
plants die from drought later in the
season.
The principles of deferred grazing
are being applied to national forest
ranges as rapidly as possible, and the
results in practice bear out those Sc
cured experimentally. In the Year
book article already mentioned, pas
ture of 600 acres is taken. for the pur-
pose of illustrating the practical APP
plication of deferred grazing. This is
divided by cross fences into three COM
partments of approximately 200 acres
each, arranged so as to give the best
distribution Of water and shade. Be
ginning in 1916, No. 1 should be. grazed
first; No. 9 second; and No. not I'M
til the important forage crops have set
seed. 1t may then be grazed heavily.
In 1917 area No. 2 should be grazed
first, area No. 1 second, and area No.
again protected until after seed ma
turity, and then grazed moderately.
The following table shows the manage
ment of the three areas for a period
of seven years:

1t pays to feed the young pig as
much as possible, both through the
mother and later directly from the
trough. Never again will he make
such rapid and cheap gains and it pays
to keep him growing as rapidly as pos
sible while young. To this end the
SOW should be given all the good, milk

pigs are about a month old they will
begin to need something in addition

ticable. A man who comes along with
real idea will be welcomed by the
vast army of backstoppers.
Sometimes a mask breaks under the
shock of foul tip, and more than one
catcher has narrowly escaped having
his eye permanently injured. Some
backstops, like Billy Sullivan, resolder
their masks, but this makes 1t so
heavy it becomes burden.
Catching is, in short, some job. He

By following this plan the various
portions of the range will have moi
only an equal chance to reseed, but
equal protection against grazing dur
ing the forepart of the growing sea-
son. Should one part of the pasture
be in greater need of building uE
than another, it may be advisable to
vary the plan to secure maximum
crop over the whole area as soon as
practicable. A knowledge of the in
dividual case is necessary in order tc
decide what variation should be made,
but if the principles involved are clear.
this should not be difficult matter.

go Catchers are protected by all sorts
and manners Of armor. They have
masks, mitts, chest protectors and
bands on their shoes to shield them
from foul tips. In only one place are
they liable to injury. This is their
neck. Occasionally a foul hits them
there, and the injury is not only I'M
usually painful but dangerous.
Jack Lapp, now catcher Of the White
Sox, was struck there some years ago,
and for a few days it was feared he
had lost the power Of speech. Even
today his voice is not what 1t was
before he was hurt.
Lapp has tried all sorts Of con-
trivances to protect his neck, but in
no instance have they proved prac-
