SHOTS FROM THE SKY.
Meteors That Bombard Us and the
Puzzle of Their OrlqIn.

FuzzlG OF Inotr Ort8tus
Most persons have no comprehension
of the actual bombardment to which
the earth is continually subjected from
the heavens. Millions of small meteors
enter the atmosphere every twenty
four hours, and in addition to these 1t
has been calculated that on the average
not less than a hundred large meteor
ties strike the earth somewhere every
year. The small meteors are totally
consumed by the heat and friction, and
only their slowly settling dust ever
touches the earth's surface, although
any one of them If not resisted by the
air would hit with from twenty to a
hundred times the velocity of the swift
est bullet
The big meteorites, on the contrary,
which frequently consist of solid iron,
often get through the airy shield with
enough of their original velocity left to
bury themselves many feet In the hard
est soil. They constitute real peril.
Although the chance Of anybody being
hit by meteorite is almost infinitely
small, yet the annals Of mankind show
that a few persons have actually been
killed by these strange shots from the
sky.
Whence do they come? The small
meteors are apparently the debris Of
those hardly less mysterious bodies,
comets, but nobody has yet suggested
a satisfactory origin for the great me
teorites.-Garrett p Serviss In New
York Journal.

SUCCESS AT The BAT.
Il is Not Acquired by Striving to Out
guess the Pitcher.

guess rne PItcners
The batter who tries to outguess a
pitcher is making a big mistake. He
should try to figure out what the
hurler probably will do, but at the
same time should be set and ready for
anything and prepared to shift at short
notice. Making up your mind in ad-
vance that you are going to hit GER
tain ball and then swinging at it re-
CARELESS of where it may come will
never get you into the 300 class.
Let me caution every young player
against acquiring the bad habit of try
ing to "kill' the ball Thousands of
fellows who might otherwise have be-
come good batters have been ruined be-
cause they wanted to knock a home
run every time up. If you meet the
ball squarely and get the right amount
OF snap in your swing you do not
need to take a windup and lunge at 1t
with all your might
There is lot of life in a baseball,
and when you hit it con the nose you
don't need all your weight behind the
bat. If you take care to apply your
power at the right moment, so that
you will get the ball well out in front
OF you at the point where your swing
Is fastest and most powerful, the dis
lance and speed will take care of them
selves.
There never was a great hitter yet
that swung with all his might all the
time. You may argue that the harder
you poke the ball the longer distance
you will get, but the trouble is that it
Is practically impossible to time your
blow properly and hit the ball square
ly when you take "washerwoman's
swing" Once in hundred times you
might happen to do so, but the other
ninety-nine times you would Just be
making yourself ridiculous.
And no player is of much value to
his team If he gets a home run once
a year and either fans or sends up easy
flies or rolls feeble grounders the rest

In the spring of 1918 occurred the

Baltimore He rushed Immediately to
the scene Of suffering and destruction,

A New York banker, whose influence

the Baltimore and Ohio ran down to
Baltimore. He was man to whom

having them fail to keep appointments

his own Office the next day and the
newspaper extras were telling Of the
catastrophe that had swept over Ohio
he sent a personal message to the pres

Mother Should Care For the Brood az

When chicks are raised in the nat

liable to be made In the care Of the
chicks. Still, early In the season, when
there Is much bad weather too much
must not be left to the hen, because
she cannot supply all the care that is
needed. Many early hen Matched chicks
are lost through failure to give them
suitable quarters where they will have
plenty of room and can take advan-
tage of the sunshine Small chicks are
FAR better OF indoors when the wealth

size running outside will be invigorat-
Ing, but 1t is best to work on the safe
side at all times and take no chances
Of chilling the chicks.
Sometimes the chicks from two
patches are given to one hen for rails

weather, but do not try it until after

on cool nights. The proper ventilation
OF their house or coop, however, must
always be watched carefully.
Chicks must be made to exercise free-

Is good range, a portion of the feed

year has averaged 28.5 eggs per hen,
17.5 eggs per hen being produced in
March.
The same wheatless ration has been
fed since last November to a pen Of
Buff Orpington pullets, which have
ty weeks and hold the highest egg rec
ord of any of the large feeding pens Of
pullets at the farm this year. Two
other pens, however, are less than one
egg per hen behind this pen.
The ration used was as follows:
Scratch mixture, two pounds of crack
ed corn and one pound Of oats; dry
mash, three pounds Of cornmeal and
one pound Of beef scrap.
The scrap mixture was fed sparing-
ly go that the hens ate about equal
parts of this mixture and of the dry
mash. The total grain consumption Of
feed for the year was f1fty-two pounds.
of which twenty-six pounds was
scratch mixture. Throughout the year
1t took 40 pounds of feed to produce
dozen eggs.
This scratch mixture, with wheat
S2.67, cracked corn S1.85 and oats 10
cents per bushel, is 20 cents per 100
pounds cheaper than the regular mix
ture Of equal parts cracked corn,
wheat and oats. Another mash, which
Is slightly cheaper than this one, Is
made of per cent each bran and mid
dhngs, 20 per cent beef scrap and 90
per cent cornmeal
IF the wheat Is omitted from the ra-
ton it Is very essential to feed con-
siderable proportion Of beef scrap in
the mash, but with present prices beef
scrap is one Of the cheapest poultry
feeds. considering its high protein con-
tent.
These experiments, the specialists
say, prove that wheat is not essential
In an egg laying ration and that excel
lent results can be secured by using
corn and oats as a scratch mixture,
provided this is fed with good mash
containing 25 per cent beef scrap.

Although planting corn four inches
apart In the row for silage has given
the greater yields, the Ohio agricul

spacing the plants ten inches apart be
cause OF greater convenience In han

the four inch spacing has yielded
about two tons of green corn per acre

the stalks are often so slender that
they fan easily in storms and are diff

Of improbable fowls would allow the
farmer to feed his grain to younger
and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockerels that are not
intended for breeding purposes will not
only increase their size, but will place
a more desirable poultry meat on the
market. Another practice that should
be adopted more widely is that of fat
tening all chickens that are to be mar.
keted before they leave the farm. This
can be done easily by combining the
birds for week or ten days and feed
