Efficient EQUIPMENT FOR SHEEP FLOCK

for the storage Of which no provision
Is made In this shed.
The windows of the shed should be
hung on center pivots to permit en-.
trance Of air through their full size.
Sheep demand an abundance of light
and cannot possibly thrive where 1t Is
damp and dark. For this reason the
number of windows must be ample
The doors used by the sheep are made
in two parts, the upper half being
hinged at its top to open upward and
outward. With such door, an album
dance Of windows, and adequate roof
ventilators, there will always be good
ventilation If proper care is taken in
the adjustment. Ventilation, 1t should
be said, Is one of the prime requisites
for any type Of sheep building.
Such shed as this affords good pro-
lection for sheep under any conditions,
and, If made 20 feet wide instead of 16
feet, may be used for winter Landing.
The extra width enables detachable
lambing pens to be set up next to the
wall, leaving room enough at the rack
for the other ewes.
Still another type described in the
bulletin is shed 16 feet wide by "a

Hans Wagner on July 10, 1897, play
ed his first game in the National
league, covering center field for Louis
vile against Washington. This was
his record:
At bat, twice; hits, one; putouts,
two; assists, one; errors, none.
Hans, then alluded to as clumsy,
bowlegged rookie from Paterson" got
his first long hit on July q, 1897. 1t
was double and was gained off Les
ter German, who won more distinction
at the traps than he did on the dia-
mond.
!. Wagner made his first triple on July
%, 1897, in game with Boston, and
then participated in his first major

STEALS WITH BASES TANNED
Catcher Mckee Of Salt Lake, PLIERS
Third Base While II Is Still oc-
cupied by Runner.

Red Mckee, former catcher for De-
troit and now backstop for San Fran
cisco, stole third with the bases full
In a recent game with Salt Lake City.
Baseball's most famous bone, even In
Guiding Fred Merkle's well-known
play, Is making Mckee a hero out
West. "Red" was on second, when the
idea came to him to practice running
in case he had chance to go some
where in France" He forgot to see If
there were comrades on the sacks when
this happy thought came to him, and
he got set for flying start.
As soon as Tom Hughes started to
wind up he set out for third. Hughes
saw him start digging for the bag, and
1t so upset him that he stopped his
wind-up to watch how Red would make
out. Perhaps Hughes intentions were
for the best, but the umpire called a
balk on him and Mckee was saved.
Koerner, McKee's teammate on
third, remained glued to the bag when
Red started his memorable run, and
but for Hughes balk Mckee might
have been out Of q job as ballplayer.

cents bushel; ground barley, 80
cents a bushel; tankage, $50 a ton;
buttermilk, 2 cents gallon; hogs,
10 cents a pound. The profit shown
by rations and 8 was reduced owing
to the fact that one pig in each lot
proved unthrifty and had to be re-
moved.
1t should be understood that the
profits here are simply the gross prof
its over and above the cost of feeding,
the net profit to be arrived at by de-
Quoting the cost Of labor with interest
and other overhead charges.
In any event, the showing is excep-
tionally good. Work of this kind
should go far to offset sensational re-
ports about certain hog-feeding work
not connected In any way with the
experiment station, except In the mis-
information of those circulating the
reports. The profits are much above
the average made by the farmer,
though they are not in excess Of rec
ords made by other experiment sta
lions.

Then the Norman archers, finding

WATCH CROPS CLOSE
FOR INSECT PESTS
Vigilance and Ample Stock Of
Poisons Will Beat Off Enc
mies-Make Daily Survey.

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Be on the job against insect pests
this season. Make your food contri-
button to the human family not the
insect family. Farmers who provide
themselves with insect poisons and
then keep vigil for the first out
breaks of crop enemies will bring
through the largest yields. Failure to
detect an outbreak at its beginning
and delay in getting combative mate
rial may be fatal to the crop attacked,
is the warning of entomologists In the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
That a great part of the annual loss
to grain crops due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
orous action on the part of growers
is not sufficiently realized, the ento-
mologists say. Frequently insect
outbreaks originate within limited
area, and when this Is the case 1t La
often quite possible to stamp them
out before any great damage has
been done. If the outbreak is gen.
eral, then sammunity action is essen
tial to prevent the infestation from
becoming widespread.
Watch your crops constantly. Make
a daily survey of the fields during the
most active growing season. If pos
sible.

In the first full game Gibson worked

lowers of the Giants figured that Glib

FEEDING GRAIN TO
SWINE ON PASTURE
Some Interesting and Valuable
Results Obtained at Minnesota
Experiment Station.

Feeding grain to swine on pasture
has given some very interesting and
valuable results at the Minnesota ag-
ricultural experiment station, as re-
ported by r. G. Ashby, in charge of
the swine work.
Mr.. Ashby fed various rations to
different lots of pigs, with some va
ration In cost, with considerable diff
ferences in the results obtained
The largest profit was made by
hogs settled on shelled corn and
tankage, on rape pasture, at feed
cost of 1894 for 100 pounds Of gain.
The profit was $217.79 per acre Of
pasture.
The different groups fed were as
follows:
1. Three per cent of live weight in
shelled corn, with alfalfa pasture.
2. Four per cent Of live weight in
shelled corn with alfalfa pasture.
3. ShelIed corn settled, with alfalfa
pasture.
4. Four per cent of live weight in
shelled corn with two pounds of but
termilk per pig daily, and alfalfa pas
ture.
S. Four per cent of shelled corn
with very light tankage ration and
alfalfa pasture.
6. Three per cent of ground barley
with rape pasture.
Z. Three per cent Of shelled corn
with rape pasture.
8. -Four per cent Of shelled corn
with rape pasture.
8. Shelled corn, settled, with rape
pasture.
10. Shelled corn, settled, tankage
and rape pasture.
The results from the feeding of
these different rations Is shown in the
following fable.

Another type of building discussed
In the same bulletin is a closed sheep
shed. This is especially adapted for
farms in which the main barn has
large feed capacity but not sufficient
food space for the live stock. The
shed discussed IN the bulletin allows
IL square feet of floor space per ami
NAL, and is sufficiently large to hold
20 sheep. In this type of building the
feed racks run down the center Of the
interior, dividing the floor space into
two large pens each 6 feet 6 inches by
"a feet. A combination hay and grain
rack should be used and all the feed
Ing should be done from the walkway
In the center SO as to avoid disturbing
the sheep. A large door at the end Of
the rack is intended for taking in feed,

Most soaps and prepared shsmpoos

is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-

the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
