There were prediction hounds who
foresaw for the New York showing but
a brief engsgement-some put It as low
as two performances. This was denied
by McGraw, who said he never said It. In
view Of the business this show Is draw

is impossible, as many Of the stars

had forced Gandil Faber drew base,

cally enough. Az the bombardment got

we recalled certain scene from forty
minutes before. In grabbing taxi for
tho ball park We found one seat taken
by quiet, middle aged citizen who had
very little TO say, but who apparently
was thinking a whole lot, as the phrase
is said to 80.
He finally told us that he had come
over a thousand miles to see, for the
first time, his son pitch a game OF ball.
His name was Ferdinand Schupp, sr.,
from Louisville. There are times when
it's a tough life. But Ferdy, Jr, Will
draw another chance, and We have a
bunch that Ferdinand, sr., will see his
son pitch good many more than an
inning and half. II he doesn't, you
can take the blessed dope and heave it
into the nearest ditch.
With Schupp shelled from the main
hill, Anderson checked the Sox ava
lanche for a breathing spell. Fred
leaped nimbly out of the hole be-
queathed him, famed Leibold, retired
McMullin and held the score all square.
But Fred's respite was short and brief,
not to say soon and sudden. He got by
one inning nicely enough. But in the
next Buck Weaver led a new movement
that was destined to end in New York
disaster.
Weaver, Schalk, Leibold and McMul-
lin fired singles in turn with only one
man out. This bombardment silenced
Anderson's battery for the day. Fred
followed the pathway blszed by his
left-handed mate, and Perritt, who was
supposed TO be printing for the Tues
day affair, came IN to relieve the oc-
cason. They nicked Poll for two ad-
ditional blows before he finally closed
out the inning, and by that time five
Sox runs had scored. and the game, for
New York, had faded into the shadows.
At this point in the episode the Sox
had all they wanted. So, quite APP
parently, did the Giants. Perritt and
Tesreau checked further murder, but
the Giant offensive was also through.
Here and there some Giant would buck
up for a brief moment and rake Faber
for a hit. But no mate was ready to
carry on the charge. and the few that
tried promptly cracked into double
plavs. three OF these affairs forming
impa sable barbados to any New York
rush.
Renowned Pep Vanishes
After that fve-run smear in the
fourth inning the Giants were COM
pletely through. Their once renowned
sep had vanished. In the last FIVE inn
ings they collected three fabby hits,
but all three were as far apart as
Prussian acts Of chivalry. And that's
as far apart as heaven is from helen

THE AVERAGE REFORMER

. The average reformer having SO
little at stake himself, plunges about
like bull in a china shop, regard
less of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told OF the
Secretary of Commerce. The can
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, no canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal Of the can manufa cturers.
1t looked all right on the face Of it,
but when the manufacturers of har-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
1T having boon diverted to cans, a
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, 50 that our harvesting
machines could be made In time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbinE Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which II
always hitting some other business
instead OF his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac-
turers Of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-shall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efficacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products is to remove
the human food first and feed the
residue to stock. Any other system
is sheer extravaganza.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

lNaional crop improvement Serylce.J
1t is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when it is considered that a large
number OF the post prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found a
satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above ALL keeps COWS
in perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations use and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names of mixed brands
which are best adapted to your pur-
pose.

DIFFICULT TO MIX FEEDS

AS no two lots run alike, it is very
difficult to mix straight by-products
of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed
faxseed, etc., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only few years age
intentional fraud or unintentional
carelessness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each manu-
-facturer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con
sumner is not analysed, and the farmer
cannot become 3 feed expert because
he has no laboratory Not one car
out of five hundred is officially in
spected. In the old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledge Of feed and were
running valuable cows and making the
farmer poorer. In those days the feed
tables were wrong, the feeds didn't
ut the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals were not agreed upon nor
complete; the animals didn't fit the
standards; the buyer didn't know
what was in the feeds he bought to
mix; and there was an unavoidable
variation in t. concentration of the
feed q
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action OF
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
facturers who have every facility fol-
maintaining q uniform product. By
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many herd has doubled its
yield and profits. There are some
painters who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their own
color uniformly but the best painters
of today have learned that millmade
brands are much better than any
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same is true in fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
can be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-products to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plished at one-tenth of cent per h.,
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help of q
laboratory.

the stars frequently. She could not
understand how anything could excuse

gagged persons.
I'm frankly, quite frankly, ashamed
of you, Margaret" she said in her
funny, decisive way, as they motored
back from the Fenways. "Jerry is just
as considerate and nice as he can be.
and you really are fearfully unreason-
able. AS / understand it, he and Miss
Douglass were acquainted long before
he met you, and it was natural for him
to talk with her after she had been
away so long"

Jerry saw right through it, though.
You should have seen his face when

one bit for staying"

rudeness to Mrs. Fenway Miss Doug
