CAST-OFFS ARE MAKING GOOD
Lefty Russell and Bruno Haas, Dis
oarded by Athletics, Playing Well
for Newark.

Two cast-off Athletic pitchers are
making good as regular players for the
Newark International league club.
They are Lefty Russell. who is COW
ering first base. and Bruno Haas. who
is playing in the outfield. Both men
have won the fans with their mighty
hitting.
Haas and Russell weren't with the
Athletics very long. but they are dis
tincfly remembered by Philadelphians.
Russell came there in 1910 from Balti-
more for money and players amount
Ing TO $4,000.
He never made good because OF III
ness contracted during the previous
winter and went 10 the minors. where
he has since played good bail.
Bruno Haas joined the Athletics in
1915. and on June % OF that season
made worlds record by Issuing 10
bases on balls TO New York batsmen.
Both Russell and Haas saw they
would never make pitchers. so adapted
themselves TO other positions. where
they are having better fortune.

GRANTED BREEDING SWINE
Dense Bones-Feeds, High in
Mineral Elements, Favored.

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period of use
fitness of the animals for breeding
purposes, heightened. breeders want
hogs with strong, dense bones. Since
cereal grains are low in mineral ele-
ments, they sho' be supplemented
by feeds rich in t-.e constituents.
When confined in yards hogs are
often fed largely or entirely on grain
rations, so that their bones are soft
and easily broken. Rations of corn
supplemented by tankage and by skim
milk produce the most bone.
Because of the high protein and
line content, alfalfa and clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs, and in the spring green
leguminous crops may be used. For
feeding in connection with grains TO
breeding hogs in confinement, lime,
corncob charcoal, bone flour and wood
ashes are also recommended.

Spring Pigs on Alfalfa.

TO sell well, but those for the breeding
pen should not be very fat TO produce
well.
Many people are deceived and buy
hogs almost on the basis of their
weight alone, and they really lose sight
of the size of the frame which supports
the weight, consequently they not in
frequently buy a 500-pound SOW which
is very fat and in reality of no larger
frame than a smaller-looking 350-pound
Individual.
Keep the sows, then, in a good.
thrifty condition, not overfat, and let
them have all the necessary range, if
possible away from other stock, espe-
cially horses.
Some say that the sows are but
half of the herd, or, looking at it from
the other angle, that the boar is half
of the herd. and il is fair TO assume
that this is true when we come to con-
slider the character of the offspring, for
they receive one-half of their charac
tiers from each parent. One very promi-
nent breeder has stated that if the boar
is an average boar he is half of the
herd, but if he is a real poor one or
an exceptionally good one he is all of
it. There is a good bit of truth to that
statement

SEA SOLDIERS GOOD SHOTS
Tells of the Workmanship Of
Uncle Sans Marines.

The marines know how to handle a
rife; 80 per cent of the force are quail
ifie0, listed shots There is a story
from Vera Cruz that tells of good
shooting and sure eye. Henry Reu-
terdahI writes in the Youths Com
panion.
Our bluejackets were marching up
the street from the plaza between rows
of low two-story houses. A well
dressed Mexican, with a newspaper
over his knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently intent on
watching our sailors advance; but hid
den under the paper he held big re-
yolver, and as our men went by he
fired. The bullets We're striking, but
our officers could hardly suspect a
well-dressed Mexican, reading a paper
and looking peacefully on from his
own house. of being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside TO reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT of
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback in
the plaza. 1000 or more yards away.
Through his eight-power field glass the
colonel saw plainly the flash of the
shots under the newspaper
Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rife, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out Of
his chair.

BEST ATTENTION FOR gifts
They Should Be Given Plenty of
Range and Forage So as to De-
veIop Good Constitutions.

By W. J. CARMICHAEL, Illinois Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.)
After the gifts have been selected
they need further attention, but not
necessarily more expensive attention
than the market animals require. They
should be given plenty of range and
forage, so as TO develop good consti-
tutions, and given rations which are
not very fattening in character.
Less corn and more high protein
feeds should be included in their daily
allowance, because they are being kept
to be developed for an entirely DIFF
ferent purpose than are the market
hogs. Hogs for the block must be fat

POISON GAS NOT CHLORINE
Substance Alone Could Never Cause
Agony and Internal Injuries Re-
ported From France.


Pittsburgh, Chlorine is not the
substance from which poison gases is
made on the European battlefronts, ac-
cording to paper read before the
American Electrochemical society con-
vention by William D. Marshall, del
egate.
During the first year of the war;"
Mr. Marshal said. reports from
abroad frequently reached this side
to the effect that chlorine was used
In the form Of gas attacks, releasing
1t from cylinders. or containers,
against the position of the enemy. My
own experience with chlorine, as well
as what have heard from others on
the subject. leads me to believe that 1t
alone could never have caused such
agony and internal injuries as were de-
scribed, because in my practice have
never seen nor heard of anybody per
manently injured by inhaling chlorine,
although the temporary inconvenience
and pain caused by 1t seemed at times
rather serious"
Rather than perform a deadly mis-
sion Mr.. Marshall said that chlorine
had lent itself for war purposes In
sanitation. sterilization Of wounds, etc.
