SHEEP RAISING IS PICTURED
Film Shows Treatment of Flock at
culing Time in Fall and on to
Selling of Lambs.

A motion picture film dealing with
sheep on the farm has recently been
completed by the film laboratories OF
the United States department of agri-
culture in cooperation with the bu-
reau of animal industry. The film is
now available for use by county
agents, county or state sheep-breed-
ers' association, agricultural colleges,
and other department or cooperative
workers or agencies.
The film is in three sections and
four reels. About is minutesAis re-
CURED for the showing of the whole
production.
The subject treated in the first and
second reel is a year with the flock on
the farm, beginning in the fail at the
time that the eve flock should be
culled prior to breeding, and carrying
it on through until the lambs are sold.
Each seasonal practice is brought out
and educational points are featured.
The third reel deals with the co-opera-
tive marketing of wool and lambs, and
the fourth reel with the slaughtering
of mutton sheep, dressing the car
cass, and then cutting it up for meat

Forever From Baseball.

eliminate cheating pitchers from
baseball and the game will not be any
different than when / was with the
Red Sox," declared Jess Tannehin,
who was here with the Phillies as
coach.
Ten pounds lighter than when he
was with the Red Sox back in 1908
and 1904, Tannehill was in Boston for
the first time in IL years. He is now
forty-five years old, feels as good as
when he helped Jimmy Collins win
the pennant in 1904.
Although now but coach, this for
mer star southpaw, who also could
hit the ball some in the old days, has
many views about the game of today
which are interesting. Having been
a great pitcher, he knows many angles,
and there is no doubt but that he is
going to help Gavvy Cravath's pitch
ing department.
sT think freak deliveries should
have been barred from baseball be-
fore this season. They have handi-
capped the game considerable be-
cause pitchers who go into the box
with resin in one pocket and talcum
powder in the other, along with vas
cline or paraffin on their pants are try
ing to get by with such methods.
"Without such methods to help them,
the pitchers in the future will have
to be there, as we were in the old
days. Ability to pitch will have to
be shown all the time and am con-
fident the game will be better.
"rhere is no doubt In my mind but
that the freak pitchers Of today can
get along without their fixings.
"If they have good arm and are
smart they can get by. So far L
have not been able to work with
freak delivery pitcher, because the
Phillies do not boast of one. If there
was one on the staff would help him
to develop into real pitcher without
the tricky stuff"

SHEEP BUSINESS PROFITABLE
Study Being Made Of Specialized
Raising With Complete Reliance
on Forage Crops.

Results of farm sheep experiment
reported by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show clearly the
possibility of profitable sheep-raasing
business upon eastern lands. At the
government farm, Beltsville, Nd, a
study is being made of specialized In
tensive sheep raising with complete
reliance upon forage crops for sum-
mer pasturage.
In 1916 a 3O-acre area did not pro-
duce forage enough to feed satisfac-
torily "A Southdown ewes and 33
lambs. This field is now capable OF
furnishing sufficient summer feed for
100 ewes with their lambs. The I'M
provement is due In part to the appli-
cation Of manures, lime, and phos-
pilates, but chiefly to the fact that legu-
minous crops were largely used and
all crops were fed upon the ground.
Under the system followed forage
crops are seeded in rotation and the
sheep are allowed such frequent
changes Of pasture as are necessary
to prevent troubles from parasites.

Practically all range-bred lambs are

Horses teeth demand an examina-

The success of the hog business
hinges on the fact that the most eco

NATIONAL. LEAGUE HAS

Whatever may be the merit of
the argument for or against the
National league, it is reasonably
apparent 1t has five or six clubs
with four or more first-crass
proven pitchers, and that the
American clubs are not so fOrtu-
nately equipped.
In the National league, New
York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati, and possibly Pittsburgh,
have each four or five hurlers
able to pitch any club not too
deficient in other respects, into
a prominent position.
The American league can only
show one or two teams whose
pitching STATS are unimpeach-
able. While several clubs shave
two or three stars only one or
two have four men of proven re-
