VIRTUE OF THRIFT.
Cultivate u Earnestly, but ps Noi
Carry Il to Excess,

Carry II to Excess.
Thrift Is a composite quality. 1t em.
braces within itself nearly all Of the
great virtues. 1t involves industry,
prudence, forethought. self denial.
1t certainly has no relation to mig
gardliness or meanness.
Some men would let their grand
mothers starve for the sake Of few
dollars. Such action cannot be called
thrifty. A virtue carried to excess be-
comes vice and is no longer virtue.
Thrift that does not take into part
nersliip honesty Of character develops
into c0vetousncss and ayarice.
Thrift Is the opposite OF tllriftless-
ness. prodigality, improyldence and
waste.
Thrift means better homes and bet
ter food. more comfort and enjoyment.
less waste and less anxiety.
1t is possible that large proportion
of people have earnings so small that
saving seems impossible! But this is no
reason for tlicir being unthrifty. On
the contrary, 1t Is reason for making
the best and the most of tile little they
have for their health, comfort and true
happiness.
A few dollars In home or a savings
bank, or any safe investment, Is as good
seed as ever was s0wn.

SOME STARS MGRAW HAS LET GO BY.
lcRA ZI1OL RIf-

A good dash of fortune, scrambled in
with the real ability that is evident is
as much responsible as anything in the
success OF John j. McGraw. Touted
wonder as baseball manager, it is
doubtful if McGraw would be able to
produce the same results that have
characterized the efforts of several
other big league managers If he didn't
have the wealth of his hackers to draw
from, leaving him free to choose at will
from among hundreds of ball players.
The cases of Eddie Rousch and Dick
Rudolph are perhaps the most pre-
dominant. Rousch is near the top
among National league batsmen. Ru-
dOlph is Boston's most effective pitcher
and was one of the main reasons why
the Braves were able to battle their
way to National league championship
and subsequent worlds champion
ship. Both these men once were Giants.
Rousch was kept mainly doing bench
duty, while Rudolph scarcely got that
far. Milton Stock is another example /;
Fred Merkle is fair idea of ball

Driver Of Powder-Laden Wagon Tells
Critical Youth How He Can Make
Better Tlme--in One Direction.

An employee Of large American
granite company was once driving
from railway station with several
casks Of blasting powder and dyna-
mite cartridges In his load, when he
overlook young man walking. With
out waiting for an invitation, the
pedestrian climbed into the wagon and
sat down upon one Of the powder
casks. He was laxative young man,
and began at once to make derogat0ry
remarks about the speed of the wagon,
or, rather the lack Of 1t.
"Were passing everything on the
road" he said, cheerfully-"that Is,
everything that is stationary" Not re-
ceiving reply, he continued, II had
half mind to hire landslip or
glacier just for speed, you know, but
| suppose we are doing about as we'll"
He was silent for some time; then
he broke forth with:
II say, stop the horsel The earth is
revolving fast enough to get us there
Just then he prepared to scratch a
match on the cask.
"If you are goln' my way" said the
driver lazily, "this is just as fast as 1t
will be; but, If you want to go straight
up at right angles to the road, jest
light that match on that blasting pow
der-and you're there now."
The young man decided to walk.

many others. McGraw has cast them
aside to make room for men he thought
would do better with the men making
up his team. He has been successful
in winning pennants and has to his
credit one worlds championship, but If
he would gather the stars he has let
slip from his grasp and form them into
one team the chances are he would
have machine that would be able to
crush the present galaxy Of stars with
which he is trying to fret his way to a
pennant.
A little more than year ago Nc
Graw set out to gather in surplus of
stars with which he threatened to
make a runaway race of the National
league pennant. Among these was
Hans Lobert. Lobert didn't even finish
the season and Is used now only as a
pinch hitter. McGraw considers him
finished, yet it is only brief stretch
of time since he went into breach and
won a game for the Giants by the brill
lance Of his fielding and hitting.
1t is one thing to have money be-
hind and still another to be able to
build championship team.

NORMAL HENS HAVE
TIME FOR NOTING
1t Usually Requires 100 Days to
Complete the Molt and Few
Eggs Are Laid by Fowls.

By R H. WILLIAMS. Professor Ami
NAL Husbandry, University of Arizona.)
All normal hens have a molting sea-
son which comes in the late summer
and early fall. 1t usually requires
about 100 days to complete the mott
and during this period few eggs are
laid. This is critical period for the
hens and they should have special
care and attention. Oily meal, sun
flower seeds and a limited amount Of
corn will supply the oil constituents
while skim milk, meat meal and green
alfalfa are especially good to furnish
the protein. During this time the hens
should be given graduated bone to
furnish the ash constituents required
in the new feathers.
Vigorous hens, properly fed, will
mott more rapidly than those lacking
vitality. or where they do not receive
special attention. 1t sometimes hap
pens that show birds are made to mott
early in the season.

Notwithstanding the great incursOn Of
women, of late years, into one or an
other departments of business, they are
not of much account as fOrtune-build-
ers Some of them earn or make
good deal Of money, but they seldom
get rich by their own exertions, and
nearly all the rich women have inher-
ited their fortunes from men. More
over, the women who are most success
ful as mOney-makers are not, as rule,
the most successful as women. The
women seem to be a cOnsecrated sex,
too valuable to be employed In mere
money getting. Vast numbers of them
earn livlng-sometimes good one
and have to; but few of them get rich.

NOTES

Neale of the Reds Is now hitting the
300 class.
Umpires probably would like to have
close decision included in peace terms.
Imagine nine men trying to play the
kind of baseball that Ty Cobb would
recommend.
Bernie Boland, Detroit pitcher, has
set back the New York Yankees eight
times in q row.
When the war is over they can bring
the kaiser over and make him president
of the National league.
Seventy million dollars Is invested
in trapshooting in America, and the
sport is following the flag.
Johnny Evers Is about through. The
Pills may get some good worn from
him, but it is doubtful.
A team composed of men like Heinit
Zimmerman and Johnny Evers would
fill any park in the country.
A scarcity of base hits and winning
TALES takes its place alongside the
shortage of beans in Boston.
Jake Fournier, former White Sox
first baseman, is setting the Coast
league afre with his batting.
Mann gets around $4,000 as an out
fielder with the Cubs. On his army
job he will draw down $1,000.
The Cubs have a fine young catcher
in pickles" D,IlhOefer, who is sharing
the backstopping with Art Wilson.
Barney Dreyfuss says he would like
to sell his Pirates. Connie Mack
might like to sell his pennant chances.
With all that McGraw must have
taken the spirit out of Henie Zim-
norman, who has ceased to nag the
umpires.
Jack Barry says he was hit % times
by pitched balls last season, but doesn't
believe in the beanball. Jacks optim-
ism Is admirable, anyway.
Paddy Livingstone once refused to

farm-animal books and by the United
States department of agriculture.
Green feeds have tonic as well as nu-
tritive value and should be used wher-
ever possible. With some feeds care
must be used in feeding to avoid para
sitical infection and the infection of
such diseases as tuberculosis. Old
pastures and milk used as feed are
examples of possible sources Of disease
to sheep and hogs, respectively. Pure
water is another essential to animal
health. Animals should not have &C
cess to water which may be contami-
mated, such as streams passing through
infested farms above, pools drained
from barn lots land so on.
Two naturally hygienic factors are
fresh air and sunlight. Pure fresh air
constantly available to an animals re-
duces the possibility of lung trouble.
Impure air reduces an animals resist
ance to disease by failing to supply
the oxygen necessary for the purifica-
ton of the blood. Sunlight is q natural
germicide and VIII keep animal sur
roundings free from disease germs. All
buildings for housing farm animals
should be well ventilated and have
plenty of sunlight reaching to all parts
of the building at some time during the
day. When weather permits, the ami
mails should be kept outside as much
as possible. Yards, lots, pens and
buildings should be kept clean, and
may be made freer Of disease by the
use of lime and standard dist TT
ants. Whitewashing the inside Of
buildings, scattering lime over the
ground and floor, and spraying with
disinfectants those places accessible to
animals but inaccessible to sunlight
will aid sanitation and promote the
welfare of the farmer.
