SEWARD PUTS
 PILEDRIVERS OUT
 IN FOUR ROUNDS

The first baseball practice and game of the season was held yesterday on the Laubner addition grounds. The response to the call for baseball re- cruits was much better than expected and there were more than enough present to compose two teams. A club composed of men working for the commission and calling themselves the Piledrivers asked for an opportun- ity of showing their skill against the local artists, with the result that after four innings of play, which was the end of the game, the Seward team was on the long end of 9 5 to 2 score.
 Lucas and Manthey pitched for the local team and Car did the twirling for the pile tappers. There is another game scheduled between the two teams for next Sunday afternoon and will be played on the new grounds if they are in condition by that time.

CANNED MILK SHORTAGE WITH
 CATTLE NEAR

In a communication which arrived on the Dora from Unga was the news of a condensed milk shortage on Sanak island in far western Alaska.
 There would be no need for con densed milk on Sanak island if the in- habitants thereon would take the trouble and expend the effort to milk one or more of the cows which are on the place, according to the folks at Unga. There are about 300 head of cattle and not that many people, but as long as it is easier to poke a hole in tin can than it is to milk a COW the condensed milk article will take precedence over the fresh product on Sanak.

CARE FOR 300 TO WESTWARD
 CAPTAIN LOST

Three hundred shipwrecked cannery hands and sailors are being cared for at Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, ac- cording to advices received by F. l.. Goodwin. These men were aboard the cannery ship St. Francis.
 Advices have also been received of the wreck of two other cannery boats, but what disposition has been made of those rescued was not stated.
 Capt. Johansen of the schooner Let tie was drowned while trying to sal wage the St. Francis and later A. C.. Goss, owner of the Lettie and brother in-law of Goodwin, lost the boat on Atka island.
 Of the shipwrecked men from the St. Francis 50 are being cared for by U. S. Marshal Buckley, 90 by the A. c. company and the remaining 16O by the Northern Commercial company at Dutch Harbor
 Mumps broke out among those at Unalaska about May 20 and an cpl demic was feared.
 After the arrival of the Dora this afternoon it was learned that the oth- CT vessels lost to westward were the Standard and St. Catherine. It was also learned that the cutter Tahoma had removed the 300 shipwrecked peo- pie off the St. Francis from Dutch Harbor and Unalaska to Nushagak.

observe certain rules at the very be-

materials are to give satisfactory serv-
ice.
For example, large pins or needles
should never be used either in the fit

They make permanent holes and, If

the silk tears easily. Dressmakers
should be cautioned against the use
of such pins and needles.
Put new needles in the sewing ma

With old needles, even slightly blunt
ed, the silk is certain TO pucker and
draw.
Be careful in plating or rufling that
the iron used is not too hot. An
overheated iron will crack any silk.

The size Of the breeding herd Is in
practice determined chiefly by the
amount of pasture and the amount OF
roughage available. Great care must
be taken that the pastures are not
overstocked. Good bluegrass or clover
should carry from so to 100 ows per
100 acres, but on other pastures, with
the exception of wheat, oats, or other
small grains, the CAPACITY may run
from 80 head to as low as five head per
100 acres. 1t is not profitable at pre-
vailing prices to buy r~oughage, and "a
this should constitute the basal ration
for the breeding cows, 1t is not usually
advantageous for the farmer to at
tempt to keep more than can be fed on
the homegrown roughage at his dis
posal. On the other hand, the herds
should be large enough for the owner

CRUDE OIL BETTER
THAN MARKET DIPS
VIII Kill Vermin and Also Soften
Skins and Brighten Hair-How
to Apply to Hogs.

Control of lice on hogs is an inn
portant factor in the development Of
the swine. Crude oil not only kills lice,
but in addition destroys the nlts,
softens the skin, and brlghtens tina
hair.
Many hog dips are on the market,
which are widely used, but the use Of
crude oil gives more satisfactory re-
suits, In the opinion of Ray Gatewood,
Instructor In animal h%usbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. This
oil may be applied by the use of pat
ent hog oilers, but as a rule these are
not satisfactory, for they are expensive
and many do no apply the oil In a
satisfactory manner.
One of the most satisfactory meth
DDS of applying crude oil Is to drive
as many of the hogs rs possible at n
time into an Enclosure in which there
is a cement floor. OIL may then be ap-
piled to the hogs with an ordinary
sprinkllng car. They rub against each
other and the oil becomes evenly dis
tributed. They should not be let out

SOUR SKIM MILK FOR
CALVES IN SUMMER
There Is Great Need Of PreCaL-
ton in This Manner of Feed
ing--Feed at Once.

That calves do as well or better on
sour skim milk in summer as they do
on sweet will be interesting news to
many farmers who have hitherto been
kept from raising calves by the ex-
pense of keeping the milk sweet in hot
weather. This expense. experiments
carried out by the department Of agri-
culture indicate to be quite unneces-
snry. The calves will make as rapid
gains on sour skim milk. In winter this
is not a s satisfactory. 1t chills the
calves, and some of them drink it with
great reluctance. Very few young
calves have ever been known to refuse
it altogether. On the other hand, of
course, 1t is much easier to keep the
milk sweet in winter.
But there ia need Of ~precautlon in
this matter of summer feeding OF milk.
Unless the milk is produced and kept
under Clearly conditions, II may be-

different seasons Of the year. In no
case did 1t cause digestive disturbances
even when the change from sweet to
o II milk was made abruptly when
the calves were only a few days old.
Moreover, no evil results followed the
alternate use of sweet and sour milk.
1t seems, therefore, that the common
conception that sour milk leads to
scours is quite unfounded. 1t is in tho
care of the milk.
The calves, 1t was found. did not
like the sour milk as well as the sweet.
but in the majority Of cases soon be-
came accustomed TO 1t. The aversion,
however, increased when the milk was
fed them at low temperature.
