up the game while he conferred
with his pitcher and catcher. Now
we did not attack your team for
the length OF these games. and all
Of them were longer games. The
2 hour and So minute game was
several minutes longer than the
game you raved so much about
which we played in Washington.
Now, Mr.. Griffith, 4 you are very
inconsistent. You have been very
proud of having the reputation OF
being the sloWest and most aggra-
Waiting pitcher ever in the game.
In fact, / have heard you discuss
this subject in a very pleased man
ner.
I"Is It not fact. Mr.. Griffith,
you trained small Joe Doyle, who
used to be with the New York Yam:
| KEGS when you were manager, and
did you not have something to do
with the Cuban pitcher, Acosta's
slow work?
"Nows Mr.. Griffith, how about
Pitcher Mogridige, and Pitcher
| Zachary? Did you ever rave about
| the slow manner in which they
| worked? Truly, Mr.. Griffith, you
are most inconsistent. Another
thing Is your many outbursts and
the fact that your feuds are many.
Cites "F'eud" With Dunn
81 have read several times about
the harsh criticisms by you on
I Connie Mack. Your pet word for
him is old FOSSIL Then there is
your feud with Jack Dunn, OF
Baltimore.
Recently you jumped on Man
| ager Higgins, of New York, con-
corning some waivers. You not
only attacked me severely, but ]
understand you attacked the UNI
pires concerning the same game.
| So you hold me responsible and
certainly inconsistent that both of
not mistaken, you had some per-
tinent things to say concerning
the head of our league, relating
to a world series recently played.
In fact, Mr.. Griffith, you seem
to be "a very vicious gentleman.
II see by the paper reports that
your manager, Mr.. Harris, is now
under indefinite suspension. OF
course, this, had nothing to do with
delaying the game and kicking to
the umpire. While you say that /
should be curbed and that I am de.
laying the games. I wish to ac-
quaint you of the fact that have
not been suspended this season.
The time I quoted in this letter
concerning the length Of the games
can be verified.
It is needless for me to add that
since your criticism through your
press in Washington, that I have
lost respect for you, and II you will
go over my letter carefully you will
realize that you are guilty of pre-
varication."

Popularity of Pure-Bred
Sires Is Growing.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
The growing popularity OF pure
bred sires for the Improvement OF
live stock in the United States Is
evident from the report of progress
Of the Better Sires-Better Stock"
campaign, just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The report which consists Of seven
pages, is a summary Of Improvement
work conducted under definite plan
and Is complete to July 1.
Two outstanding accomplishments
received special mention. One is the
official announcement that Union
county, KY, was the first In the
United States to reach a 100 per cent
pure-bred-bull goal. A personal In
vestigation of the live stock breeding
situation In that county, made by a
department representative, confirmed
earlier reports.
The second accomplishment is a
record breaking advance by stock
owners In New Haven county, Conn,
In the use of pure-bred sires for all
classes Of live stock kept. That coun-
ty has total of TAT persons enrolled
for live stock improvement, making
1t the premier county In the Unit
ed States in that respect.
Other outstanding results In the
campaign are as follows, the figures
being complete to June 30, 1925:

The fact that child crys for, eats
and seems to enjoy what is given it,
seems to be the only reason some
mothers use in feeding.
Solid food must wait for teeth. The
digestive juices, like the teeth, are not
ready fer use In the little child, as
milk, it's natural food for nine months,
fulfllls every need.
AS the child grows, food is needed
to build up it's teeth and bones as well
as the other organs, and this food
must be supplied or poor teeth and ILL
neurished bodies will result
Orange juice, tomato juice strained,
may be given young children after
three months, between feelings. These
juices supply vitamines which are nee
essary for grewth and health.
Fats, except butter and cream,
should not be given until after the
ceming of the second teeth.
Acid foods, pickles and vinegar in
any form, fresh hot breads or woody
vegetables unceoked should never be
given to small child.
The child needs variety and when
this is net possible make the serving
or dishes as different as possible.
Predigested feeds are not good for
the child; his digestive tract must
have exercise to be healthy and nor
NAL.
Candy, If allowed at all, should be
homemade and given after meals in
small auantities-never before meal.
Important points for every mother
to bear in mind:
Service and cooking of food control

Selection and mastication deter

"Baa habits cripple life as do weak
bones the bedy."
AS water makes up large proper

Stand of Velvet Beans
Good Pasture for Stock

A good stand Of velvet beans, when
used as a grazing crop for cattle and
hogs, should produce about 200 pounds
of beef and 100 pounds Of pork to the
acre, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The crop Is
grazed best after 1t Is well matured
or frosted. Beans needed for seed
should be gathered before the stock is
turned into the field. Grazing on the
heavier soils should De done with
more care than on sandy soils IL con-
tinued In rainy weather, as there Is
danger Of packing the heavier soil to
the detriment of the succeeding crop.
The usual period of pasturing velvet
beans Is about three months, but this
may be shortened or heightened as
deemed advisable.

Particularly Disastrous i
Corn Belt States and
Is Spreading.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Recently pathologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
amined the glands taken from 319
tuberculous hogs which had originated
In modified accredited areas-areas in
which bovine tuberculosis had been
practically eradicated The organism
was not found In all glands, but of
the 1876 In which tubercle bacilli were
found, go were infected with the bo-
vine type, 40 with the avian type, and
81 with both types.
Losses In Corn Belt.
Such facts as these demonstrate
that the avian type is causing many
retentions of hogs from modified ac-
credited areas, says DR.. ]. A. Herman,
of the bureau of animal industry, In
charge Of tuberculosis eradications.
This fact should stimulate a greater
activity against the disease in poultry
focks. he says. Avian tuberculosis
exists only to limited degree in the
eastern and southern states, but 1t
is causing great losses In the middle
western or corn belt states. In fact,
in many counties greater financial
losses than bovine tuberculosis, and
there Is every reason to believe that
1t is spreading rapidly.
The field force, in its regular work
with cattle during the past 15 months,
has inspected 202,53S poultry flocks,
of which 12,301 fiocks, or 81 per cent,
were found to be infected with tuber-
culosis. More than 16,450000 fowls
were included In the f1ocks inspected.
This survey included work in those
states known to have only a light
infection as well as those known to
be extensively infected.
Method of Fighting.
The best method of combating avian
tuberculosis may or may not have been
worked out, says Doctor Herman, but
that fact should not prevent proceed
ing with the present method until q
better one has been devised. Where
infected fiocks are found the owner is
urged to dispose of the entire flock,
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
premises, and before re-establishing a
flock move the quarters to new loca-
ton II possible.

Hot leather Hints for
Safely Shipping Swine

Members of cooperative livestock
shipping associations when marketing
hogs can profit by observing all of the
"hot-weather hints" listed by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
as necessary for best results. The list
includes the following suggestions:
1. Haul or drive your hogs into
shipping station In ample time to al
low them to became rested and cool
before loading.
2. Insist upon clean car bedded
with sand.
8. Wet down the bedding and interi-
or of the car before loading.
4. Give only a light feeding before
shipping. Heavy feed means more body
heat generated.
5. Load not more than one hour
before the train is to depart.
6. Load slowly and carefully. Avoid
excitement, and do not beat or bruise
the animals.
Z. Load not to exceed 10000 pounds
In a standard 86-foot car during
warm weather.

tuberculosis in Poultry

tuberculosis Is chronic infectious
disease of domestic and wild birds. 1t
Is generally brought into the poultry
yards with fowls that are purchased
from infected fiocks or with the eggs
of diseased birds that are obtained for
Matching. If the disease exists In
neighboring flocks the contagion may
be carried by small birds or animals
passing from one yard to another. A
popularity of tuberculosis Of birds is
that the liver and intestines are al
ways severely affected.

Keep Salt Before Stock

1t is very common practice among
those who salt their horses and mules
to give them a liberal amount of salt
once each week. Experimental work
indicates that it Is much better to keep
salt before horses and mules so that
they may eat 1t as the system de-
mands If given salt only once week
they frequently overeat and drink an
abnormal amount of water at that par
ticular time, which frequently upsets
the digestive system and causes other
disorders.
