ROPE FOR THE KICKING cow
System Described In Which MIIk-stooI
Is Eiiminated-MuchB Better
Than Being Kicked.

Tie the COW about the neck with
a rope in a bowline knot. Tie the
other end Of the rope to the manger
or post, leaving about IS to 20 inches
of rope from the COW to the post.
Next place the pail on the ground near
the COW, but at distance great enough
to keep her from kicking it. Put your
head against the COW just about the
flank (there being no stool in this
syStem). If she starts to kick the
contraction of the muscles under your
head warns you and you must start
to push against her with all your
might. If you start soon enough she
will not kick as the shove you give her
with your head causes her to think she
will lose her balance and she keeps her
feet on the ground to prevent falling.
In the event of her succeeding In
getting one foot raised, be sure to keep
a good hold on her teats and don't
stop pushing against her. In a few
lessons the COW learns that 1t is not
safe to raise her feet and you can just
place your head as stated and lean
against her. OF course, this is very
tiresome at first, but 1t is much better
than being kicked and after you get
the "knack" of the thing you will put
the milk-stool in the junk heap.

REGULAR FEEDING FOR COWS
Greatest Degree of Contentment In
Herd Can Only Be Secured by
Strictest Regularity.

1t is of great Importance that strict
regularity should be observed, both in
feeding and in milking, in order to Sc
cure the greatest degree of content
ment in the herd. First give the grain
mixture, and milk the cows while they
are eating it. This routine is recon-
mended because, with some cows, the
milk comes more freely while they are
eating that portion Of their ration
which has the most relish.
Cured roughage should be fed after
milking because it fills the air in the
barn with dust. Succulent feed, like
silage and roots, should also be fed
after milking, because of the odor that
1T gives. Feeding twice a day will
bring better returns than more fire.

DAVIS SWIPED FIRST
Peculiar Stunt, PuzzIing to Many
Actually Pulled Off.
Players and Fans Amazed When Cap
tain Started From Second to First
Nothing to Stop Player Run
ming Backward.

Harry Davis, the famous old star OF
the Athletics, and in his time one Of
the best first basement in the business,
was born in Philadelphia forty-three
years ago. The veteran has many
claims to remembrance, one of which
is that he is the only man who ever
stole first. That peculiar incident has
puzzled many fans, but it was actually
pulled off. 1t was in the old days
when Dave Fultz, now president ox
the Baseball Players fraternity, was
playing in the outer garden for the
Mack bunch. In this particular con-
test Davis was perched on first and
Fultz was on third. Harry stole Sec
ond in the hope that the throw would
give Fultz chance to race home. The
pellet was sent to the catcher in time
to head off Fultz, who barely managed
to get back to third, but Davis made
second. Captain Harry wanted that
run, and he was bound to have it, so
when the next ball was pitched he
chased back to first, stealing that bag
to the amazement of players and fans.
OF course big howl went up, but the
umpire could find nothing in the rules
to prohibit a player from running
backward if he wanted to. Having
swiped the initial bag, Harry then
took another opportunity to try to
steal second, and while the throw was
made in an endeavor to head him off
Fultz chased home with the coveted
run.
Davis commenced his big-league ca
reer 20 years ago, in 1896, when he

More star ball players have been in
jured this year than in any previous
season in q decade and the fans
throughout the country are mystffied
They cannot understand why these ac-
cidents to stars should occur so regu-
larly. The answer is that baseball is
a different game this season. For sew
eral years the players have been reap
ing a harvest. The natural advance
ment of the game and the increase of
the profits of the magnates caused the
salaries of players to mount rapidly,
and then came the war between or
ganized ball and the Feds.
The players took advantage of the
conditions and held the magnates up
for salaries all out of proportion to
their value, with the result that the
majority of the clubs lost money in
1914 and 1915. There was nothing
left for organized ball to do but make
peace. with the Federal league, and
the retrenchment policy was adopted
by the magnates. Almost every star
player of the two Major leagues was
tied up to two or three-year contracts,
the majority Of which expire at the
close Of the present season, and the
players now are hustling. In recent
years the players refused to take any
chances. They were con-
tent to draw their salaries and pre-
ferred to take no chances on injuries,
realizing that serious accident would
hurt their earning capacity.
When the magnates announced that
there would be general cut in sal
aries after the long term, wartime con-
tracts had expired, the players real

SPEEDlER THAN AMOS RUSIE
Hugh Jennings Pays Unusual Tribute
to Walter johnson, Star of the
Washington Team.

Manager Jennings of the Detroit tt
gers recently paid an unusual tribute
to the pitching of Walter johnson.
The Detroit manager, unlike most of
the stars of the old school, believes
that the Washington twirler has bet
ter fast ball than Amos Rusie of the
New York Giants had in his prime.
81 never batted against Johnson, but
l have batted against Rusie," said
Jennings. II used to let myself get hit
by Rusie's fast one. do not believe,
however, that 1 would take chance
on showing my body into Johnson's
shoot. I hardly believe that Johnson
throws speedier ball than Rusie, but
he sends up a heavier ball. 1t hurts

| they are making plays and taking des
perate chances which were unknown
in the last two seasons.
There is no question about the hust.

are working harder than ever, realiz.
ing that their new contracts will be

this season and not on past reputation,
as was the case when the Feds were
In the field. Perhaps many fans have
noticed how much faster the games

leagues has been handicapped by in
juries to star players, with the Ath-
letfcs, Yankees and Indians the chief
sufferers. One list places the num-
Der of crippled players at 81, but this
includes many of the usual ailments,
such as sore arms and lame shoulders,
which are in no way due to the re-
vival of the fighting spirit of the play
erS.
Nineteen members of the Athletics
and Yankees have been out of the
game, each for a week or longer, and
six broken bones are included in the
list Of injuries. Other players who
have sustained broken bones are Lo-
bert of the Giants, broken leg; Chap
man of Cleveland, broken leg; Adams
of the Phillies, broken finger; Cady
of Boston, broken finger; Magee of
Boston, broken wrist; Fletcher of the
Giants, broken finger, and Archer of

viously played with Providence and
Pawtucket. New York soon turned
him over to Pittsburgh, where he re-
manned until 1898. After short ex-
perience with Louisville, Davis quit
the game and went to work for rail-
way company. When Connie Mack
invaded Philadelphia in 1901 he called
Davis from his retirement and made
him captain and first baseman of the
