BABE RUTH TALKS ON
MONEY END OF SPORT
Fan Travelled Far to Shake
Hands With Yankee Star.
One Ambition Was to Greet Man Who
Made $4,000 a Year as Baseball
Player and Then Tell Folk

Babe Ruth is willing to admit that
ball players are strong for CONNER

ting what they think is their fair
share, in the way of salaries, from the
receipts of the gate, and the average

The Yankees played an exhibition
game in Louisville and the Babe, as
the big noise, was the center of at
traction, of course. He gave the usu-
al amount of time to visiting a school
for boys, talked to them in the way
they like, extolling the idea of play

play fair and square, etc.

YEAST NOT GOOD
FOR LAYING HENS
Preliminary Tests by Government
Not Satisfactory.
Egg Production Is Not Increased Be-

ture When 1t Is Kept in a
Moist Condition.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Preliminary tests nave been carried
on by the poultry husbandry division
of the United States Department of
Agriculture in the use of yeast as a
feed for laying hens, the theory be-
ing that this material was extremely
high in vitamines and particularly VAL
liable in the dietary Of laying hens.
In the initial test the yeast was dis
solved in warm water, added to the
mash, and the mixture allowed to
stand for "a hours until the yeast had
thoroughly permeated the feed. While
the hens ate this mash fairly well,
with the result that their egg produc-
ton was slightly increased for a short
period, apparently they soon tired of
the mixture and did not consume it
with a relish. subsequently decreased
egg production resulted and the NOR
tality among the fowls which received
the yeast was noticeably higher than
the pens not receiving 1t.
1t is thought that this mortality
was due to changes occurring in the
mash which developed while it was be-
ing held in a moist condition for the
24-hour period previous to feeding,
rather than as result of the yeast
itself The moist mash was discon-
tinued and the experimental pens
were put on dry mash containing
one per cent Of dried fresh yeast. The
condition of the flock improved mate

WHOLE FAMILY WAS In WRONG
Answer From Youngster Who
Was Playing on Sunday.

When Joe Tinker was manager of
the Chicago Federal league team the
club happened to be playing a series
in Baltimore and, being a Sunday
morning, Joe left the hotel for short
stroll after breakfast.
He passed by big vacant lot, where
a couple of scrub teams had just COM
pleted a game. Joe decided to have
some fun at the expense of a small
lad, who was standing alone near the
sidewalk, stuffing a big glove in his
pocket.
"Don't you know it's bad to play
ball on a Sunday?" asked Tinker.
what would your family say if they
knew about it?"
The kid flashed a grin at Joe. Don't
know" he replied. Then, pointing to a
couple Of men a few feet distant, add
ed: "You might ask them. My dad
is the shortstop and my uncle the
pitcher"

to meet Babe Ruth. Up comes one
guy, crowds his way to the fore and
says:
MIR. Ruth, will you shake hands with
me?"
''Sure," said the Babe.
When the man had released Babe
from his fond grip he cooked one eye
and said, with a smirk of satisfaction:
"Well, I come 100 miles just to
shake your hand. I always wanted
to shake hands with a man who made
$4,000 year, and now I've done it."
Babe Ruth is pretty young, but he
has an appreciation of values. "That
seemed to be all that guy had in
mind" he said. "Just thinking about
the money 1 make, or he thinks l
make. Reckon if I'd given him an au-
tographed ball he'd peddled it around
the pawn shops or put it up at auction
to see what he could realize on it.
And then they talk about us ball play
ers being money mad!"

of Agriculture)
Can you judge sheep? If you can,
you are somewhat above the ordinary
run of stock raiser, because of all
farm animals, in the estimate of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the sheep is the most difficult to
appraiSe accurately.
With horses, cattle, swine, or poultry
the eye will tell much as to the quail
ity for any purpose desired, and by
seeing the animals constantly the
breeder or handler learns to estimate
their worth, point by point. But a
sheep with full fleece is, like certain
members of the human race, artfully
dressed-its clothing may conceal de-
fects that make it absolutely undesir-
able, or at least detract from its worth.
Sheep Judging Requires Study.
Nevertheless, sheep judging is pos
sible to anyone who will give it study
and practice and the eye is an i'm
pOrtant agent, although it must be as
sisted by a careful inspection with
the hand.
Any sheep raiser who desires to i'm
prove his flock can profit by attending
the next county or state fair and fol-
lowing the judges as they go through
the sheep pens. If the judges will per-
NIT one to try his hand and check up
against their findings, it will be much
better. A good score card is essential,
and one is contained in Farmers Bull
letin 1899, Judging Sheep" sent on
request by the department.
The experienced judge may not ap-
pear to spend any time looking at the
sheep before he starts the hand in
spection; but as matter Of fact, his
practiced eye takes in the entire con-
tour, build, and bearing. The student
judge should stand away and careful
ly view the animal from the front,
side, and rear.
The score card allows % out of 100
points for general appearance, of which
normal weight counts 5; form is given
10, the specifications being straight
top and under line, deep, broad, low
set for breed, compact, well proper
toned.
Under quality" to which another
10 is assigned, the scord card specifies
Hair, fine; bone, fine, but strong; feat
ures, fine, but not delicate; skin pink.
After the sheep has been inspected
from a distance, one should check up
his observations by going over the
animals body with the hand, keeping
in mind the first impressions. Prac-
tice is necessary to get the correct
tousa. Pounding and clawing are out
of order. Do not muss the fleece If
the animal has been prepared for ex-
hibition.
The score card allows u points for
condition, comprising an even, deep,

Smiling Jack" Hathaway, captain
of the Northwestern university eleven

soon resumed their normal appear
ance, with fair egg production.
However, the egg yield was not
greater than that from check pens
without the yeast. Thereafter three per
cent of yeast which was air and SUM-
dried and fed in ground condition
was used in the mash without any
perceptible increase in egg production.
These tests in the feeding Of yeast
were not conducted on very extern
sive scale, not long enough to deter
mine thoroughly its value. The re-
suits were not promising and unless
some better method of feeding the
yeast is found this product is not
likely to be of much value for laying
hens.

WATER SPREADS CORN B0RER
Number of Specimens Recently Found
on Island in Lake Erie Many
Miles From Shore.

Entomologists of the United States
Department of Agriculture combating
the European corn borer have found
on various occasions that water is not
complete barrier to the spread of the
pest. A number of specimens were
recently found on Middle Bass island,
in the western part of Lake Erie,
several miles from either shore. They
are uncertain whether worms floated
to the island on cornstalks from an
infested portion of Ontario or whether
the flight was made by the grown In
sects.
Last year living corn worms were
found on an island several miles of
the coast of Massachusetts,.

Points Noted in Judging.
Head and neck are given nine points,
Of which five go for head with clean
cut, strong mouth, thin lips, large nos
trils, large, clear eyes, alert look, short
face, broad forehead, alert and we'll
spaced ears. Four points are given
to neck short, thick and smoothly
joined to the shoulder.
Ten points are assigned to the fore
quarters of which eight may be given
to the shoulders. They should be COM

and body, and well covered with flesh.
One point goes to a full, well-rounded,
and well-extended brisket, and one to
straight, short legs, set well apart.
The body may count Is points-two
for deep, wide, full chest; four for
ribs well sprung, close, and thickly
covered; six for straight, broad back,
thickly and evenly covered with flesh
six for wide, thick loin, well covered.
Seventeen points are given to perfect
hind quarters. Level, smooth hips,
wide apart, count one; long, level, wide
rump, thick at dock, four; full, deep,
wide thighs, four; deep, firm, plump
twist, joined well down on leg, five;
straight, short legs, wide apart, one.
The udder in ewes or the scrotum in
rams counts two If well formed.
Nine points are given to wool-lhree
for quantity, three for quality, and
three for condition.
After practice in score-card judging
comparing the exhibited animal with
an ideal, for it takes a good animal
to score rs and a choice animal to
be marked 90-one is ready to judge
by comparing animals one with anoth-
er. Keep in mind the standard they
should approach, and appraise them
against one another, point by point,
following the same systematic method
as with the score card.
1t is important to be able to tell
the approximate age of sheep by the
teeth. Lambs have full set of baby
or milk teeth soon after birth. At
from twelve to fourteen months two
permanent teeth appear at the center /;
two more. adjoining, at from twenty
two to twenty-four months; a third
pair at thirty-four to thirty-six months /;
and the full set at forty-six to forty
eight months. From then on only an
estimate can be made. AS the sheep
grows older the teeth gradually spread
and become shorter with wear. Still
later, sheep gradually lose their teeth.
A broken-mouth sheep has difficulty in
eating and should not be kept in the
flock.
