Yankees After BeaII.

AAl AA%1 AAS w dSH'
w ington boy, former peerless
pitcher of the Mohawks,
may land a job with the New
York Yankees next year. Secre-
tary Barrow, business manager OF
the world champions, is said to
have Joined Cincinnati, the In
dams and the White Sox in bid
ding for George Stallings' star
hurler with the Rochester Inter
nationals.
Beall has won twenty-one vic
tories for Rochester this season.
Many scouts looking at him have
pronounced him the best prospect
in the International circuit. The
Yankees need pitchers and can
afford to pay a whole lot of
money for those they want, in
Guiding money and players to be
delivered. If the Yankees decide
they really need Beall to replace
the fast-crumbling Bob Shawkey
or Sad Sam Jones, Colonel Rup-
pert will pay big pAice to land
him.
This writer saw Beall perform
for the first time at Savannah last
spring. Beall was pitching (by
request) against the Griffs. He
wanted to look his best against his
home town team. He did. He
battled ten innings against Mo-
gridge, Wingfield, and McGraw.
When he left the game the score
was 8 to 8. The Griffs defeated
his successor, 5 to 3, in the elev-
enth.
Looking back at that game this
writer would say that Beall's chief
weakness was his tipping off his
curve ball. His fast ball was
good. So was his control. But
when he was about to use a hook,
a smart batsman would know it
from his manner Of holding the
ball.
However, working under the
skilled eye of George Stallings,
Beall may have eradicated that
fault. He is strongly built and
has a good fast ball, though not
a record breaker. It is possible
that, if he hops into the big show
he may add his name to the long
list of Washington boys who have
worked their way up among the
leaders in athletics.

Regarding Mexico's foreign debts he

as soon as the Mexican treasury is in

direction.

One death from tuberculosis in Wis
consin every five hours! That's what
official statistics, compiled by the
State Board of Health, show-the
story of tragedy that is all the more
pitiful because it is preventable. Six
teen years ago when the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association and the
penny Christmas seal, which finances
1t, began the organized battle against
the great White Plague there were
1877 deaths each year from tubercu-
losis for every 100000 people. In 1928
the rate had been reduced to 667, with
a total of 1919 deaths from this dis
ease. Yet every five hours there is
one death from tuberculosis in this
state and for every death there are at
least nine living cases.
The purpose of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association is to fight
tuberculosis by teaching people how
to prevent it by spreading into every
nook and corner of Wisconsin the
knowledge that tuberculosis is a pre-.
ventable and durable disease.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY II. G. Seyforth.

When concentrates are high in
price, milk and butter fat seem to
be relatively low, farmers are
naturally eager to cut down the cost
of production in any way possible,
therefore many are debating now as
to how they can feed their cows this
winter so as to cut down their cost
Of butter fat production. Possibly
some plan to feed less grain and let
their cows fill up on roughage,
others viii probably feed cheaper
concentrates and not feed balanc-
ed ration. Will this be profitable?
We must remember that a good
dairy cow when well fed needs half
of the feed to maintain her body
If the amount of feed fed a good
dairy cow is reduced the effect is
just opposite of what is desired.
When filled on good roughage and
giving her little~or no grain she gets
plenty of pounds of feed but not
enough digestible nutrients to main
tain her body and produce milk
economically. A COW in fairly good
flesh and fed sparingly will produce
a fairly good flow of milk for some
time but she is drawing upon her
own body for this production and
will sooner or later begin to reduce
her flow of milk. The few things to
do this winter to produce butter fat
economically are, first, Gull your
herd and get rid of the boarders.
Second; feed your efficient cows a
good balanced ration. Third, try to
feed so economical a ration as pos
sible. You might use one of the
following rations, with plenty of
clover hay and corn silage:
Ground barley or rye, 800 lbs,
Glound oats, 800 lbs; Wheat bran,
800 lbs; Linsced meal, 100 lbs.
If you have plenty of alfalfa hay
and corn silage you might use one
of the following:
Ground corn, 500 lbs; ground oats
500 lbs; or ground barley or rye,
500 lbs; ground oats 500 lbs.
With Timothy hay and corn silage
you could feed:
Ground barley or rye, $50 lbs;
ground oats, $50 lbs; wheat bran,
200 lbs; Linseed meal, 300 lbs.
With mixed hay, say half clover
and half timothy, and corn silage
you could feed:
Ground barley or rye, $50 lbs;
ground oats, 275 lbs; wheat bran,
$50 lbs; linseed meal, 200 lbs.
Mr.. J. B. Hayes, poultry specialist,
says that high prices for eggs may
be the cause of poor profits on
many Wisconsin farms this winter,
for the reason that many farmers
will try to keep large focks of hens
many of which are non-layers or
poor layers. The high cost Of feed
fed to these boarder hens will cut
