Standing Of Boston Braves at Second
in National, Only One
Warranted by
Figures.
CLEVELAND SUCCESSFUL
Has Players Who Can Paste Pill
When Hits Are Needed-New
" York Pirates Fore- au-s&a
Ing Forward.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Of the six
teen major league clubs, today's stand
Ing OF the Boston Braves is the only
one warranted by the figures. The
club is second in it's league and is
also second In club batting and club
neldlng. With the others. both in the
old outfit and the new, everything else
is awry.
Cleveland, leading the American by
a comfortable margin is fifth in club
batting and one notch lower in field
ing. Detroit is in tight tie with the
hed Sox for fourth place in club
standing. has a comfortable lead on
club batting and is third in club field
ing :
The late Tom Shevlin, famous Yale
FOOTBALL player, who was great
authority on what makes a winner,
probably had the key to the secret of
Cleveland's success
Shevlin wanted stars. System was
all right but Tom depended on indi-
VldualS to win. He wanted one who
could deliver the goods whenever
called on. Cleveland has that kind
OF men. Speaker is the only famous
one, but there are several in the
ranks
Smith of the Indians in batting
.371 and just two points below him is
the might iris. A little way down Is
Roth. who in flfty-fve times at bat has
poled out seventeen hits for an aver
age of 3O9.
No flukes these. they are the kind
who can hit when hits are needed
who can deliver the goods when the
delivery means games.
Coumbe, pitching for the Indians is
league leader with four won and none
lost. Morton is not far behind with
five won and but one lost
Having the sure fire men in the
ranks is a help to the morale Of team.
With the whole bunch scrapping ali
the time and the few poking out the
hits when the hits are needed. the In
dams, picked for last, have the right
to be first.
In the National, Brooklyn leading
by narrow margin, also has a slight
margin on the batting lead but Is
down in the ruck in fielding. 1t is
proof of the old SLOAN, 'the attack
is what counts"
The four straight wins of New York
over Pittsburgh were no flukes New
York is fourth in batting and seven
tn in fielding. The Pirates are last in
both,

The dog in the country is a useful
and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he
is properly controlled and cared for,
but when neglected, may readily be-
come carrier of disease to stock. in
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as q gen
eral rule. have been intended chiefly
to curb the dogs power of doing harm
by attacking, biting. killing or run

plays as carrier of diseases TO. ami

or the diseases carried to stock -
dogs. the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts as
a mechanical carrier of infection. The
dog which runs across an infected
farm easily may carry in the dirt on
his feet the virus of this most conta-
gious of animal diseases to other faIgns
and thus spread the disease to the
neighboring herds In infected locali-
ties it is absolutely essential, there
fore, to keep all dogs chained and
never to allow them OFF the farm ex-
cept on leash.
There are, however. many other
maadies in tho spread of which the
dog takes an active part-rabies, by
datid, ringworn favus, double-pored
tapeworm, roundworm and tongue
worm are often conveyed to human
beings in this way. 1t occasionally
happens also that the dog helps feas
and ticks in transmitting bubonic
plague or the deadly spotted fever.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain,
lungs and other organs, of a bladder

FOR THE GARDEN
Most Satisfactory 20 Supply Liberal
Quantities of All Elements De-
feient in Soil.

III a vegetable garden where Sc many
plants are grown with such varying
plant food requirement. it is entirely
impracticabie to attempt to compound
fertilizer formulas suitable for the
various groups Of vegetables. 1t is
far more satisfactory to supply liberal
Quantities Of all the fertilizing ele.
ments deficient in the soil. In this way
each plant will be sufficiently supplied
with plant food for full development.
says Bulletin LOG of the Georgia sta
ton.
Animal manures of almost any kind
are good for enriching the garden soil
In fact, it is quite difficult to main
tain the fertility Of soil so heavily
cropped as a vegetable garden unless
there is an available supply of animal
manures of some kind. Horse stable
manure is the most convenient to APP
ply; and it is very excellent for a gar
den, provided there is not too much
coarse particles of bedding applied
just before the garden is to be planted
Winter is a good time TO apply ma
nure to the garden soil The manure
should be hauled out and spread over
all the garden area that is not occu-
pied with vegetables. Even then the
manure may be strewn along between
the rows of vegetables and allowed to
decompose until the vegetables ara
taken off and the soil turned for an.
other crop. There is little danger OF
applying too much stable manure to
the garden soil. If the manure is well
decomposed or if applied and plowed
in a month or two before planting
time. it may be used at the rate OF rs
to 80 tons per acre with beneficial eff
feet to the crops grown.
