YANKEES AGAIN HUMBLE SENATORS
Squeeze Play in Twelfth Inning
 Causes Wild Bill to Smile

New York, April 2O.-In a chat on baseball John McGraw once de- scribed the squeeze play as the sucker play of baseball" The play is seldom if ever attempted by the Giants. Clark Griffith, manager of the Washingtons. known in baseball vernacular as the old Fox, does not subscribe to John Josephs sentiments. Clark ,cohfesses the squeeze play may be what McGraw described it, but also is frank enough to admit that during the: last three days he and not the Yankees have been playing the part of the humble sucker.
 Gnn's Washingtons again were squeezed into submission on the Polo Grounds yesterday, though it took the Tanks ten innings to make a clean sweep of the set. The Tanks yester- day put the Senators down for 8 ! to ? count. the first and third Gotham runs being squeezed home. Donovan's infantry now has marched to four straight victories and is within as stones throw of the lead. The score:

No Farm Crop Can Endure Wet Feet
III Land Is Not Worth Draining
1t Is. Not Worth Keeping.

Air drainage is as essential as soil

quently there are pockets among the
hills where crops and fruit suffer late
in the spring and early in the fall from
the ravages of the frost despot. On
low lands there also seems to be places
which frost apparently avoids at I'M
~seasonable times. These locations have
well-established boundary lines witch

No fruit can endure wet feet. This
principle obtains in all farm crops. If
your ground is not worth tile draining,
it is not worth keeping, much less es-

CARING FOR CANS
Thorough Washing and Sterii-
cation Is Necessary.
DIFFICULT JOB FOR FARMER
Dairy Division of Department of Agri-
culture Points Out Advantages of
Having This Work Performed
by Dealers.

(From the United States Department Of
A~griculture.)
In justice to the farmer, milk dealers
should give considerable attention to
the question of washing the ans be-
fore they are returned. If the cans
are allowed to go back unwashed to
the farmer, it is a very difficulty task
for him, with his limited facilities, to
clean them.
In a circular letter recently sent to
milk dealers by the dairy division Of
the department, it was pointed out
that bacterial counts made from cans
which had been washed and rinsed in
the ordinary name showed hat there
were from 100000 to 100000 bac-
terra In each can, with an average of
100000. If 10. gallons of milk were
put into one of these cans there would
be added more than 100 bacteria to
each cubic centimeter Of the milk,
That is to say, this is the least mum
Der that would be added. Whereas, IL
was pointed out, with a little steam
ing these same cans could have been
rendered practically sterile.
Bacterial Counts.
One dealer who recently installed 9
modern washing machine employed 6
bacteriologist to test the results. il
was found that less than 100000 bac
terra were in a can, and among then
were no undesirable types. Bacteria

cient steaming device which this deal
er had formerly employed ran as higI
as 100000 bacteria to the can, IN

types of cleaning machines on tn

Drying Is Important.
The drying of the IAN is an import
ant factor, for it not only leaves them
in a much better condition, but it tends
to prevent rust. The ove also must
not be neglected. 1t is as important
that it be as thoroughly cleansed and
sterilized as the can itself. 1t car UNI

The great demand for dairy prod

cows to be very high. Reports from
associations of dairymen show that
it is impossible to buy irst-class dairy
cows at even $50 a head. With such
a demand for COWS in old dairy dis
