men to let their chickens live entirely
On grasshoppers. While this practice
may reduce the hopper population
somewhat, the advantage is offset by
the strict hopper diet which makes an
unbalanced ration for the birds. Where
hay fields and pastures are bare, poul-
try growers must provide ground feed
as a substitute, alfalfa meal or alfalfa
leaf meal being the best.
Miss Cushman recommends feeding
about six pounds of alfalfa meal to
each 100 pounds of ground grain, or
about five pounds of alfalfa leaf meal
to each 100 pounds Of ground grain.
The feed should be placed in a non
wasting hopper and the birds should be
fed morning and evening if they are
feeding in the fields.
Another danger in a strict grasshop-
per diet for poultry is tapeworm infes-
tation, Miss Cushman warns. Grass
hoppers are the intermediate hosts for
tapeworms and to avoid this danger,
the birds should be fed two percent
tobacco dust or about one-fifth pound
of nicotine sulphate to 100 ponds OF
ground grain.
Plenty of fresh cool water should be
available to the birds every hour of the
day. Shade is also important, particu-
larly for turkeys, Miss Cushman states.
Often a brush shelter or anvas on
poles will prove satisfactory where
there is no natural shade.

events, you'll come across two WORLDS
records that still stand, made In the
long ago, on the old Butte race track
In a running race, over a straight
course, at the quarter-mile distance,
Bob Wade, a four-year-old, set q
record of 214 seconds. This per-
Torrance was made on August 20,
1890.
Though outmoded for years, the

covered the distance in 33a e c

Under the heading Bob wade's
Great Rum" the Anaconda Standard
of Aug. 81, 1890, printed the following:
The breaking of the worlds record
for a quarter-mile dash, by Bob Wade
today, was a suitable climax to the rae
ing meet. Three of the fastest horses
in the country, for the distance, were
matched. They were Bob Wade, Cy-
clone and Nettie S. All around the cir
cult they have been rivals and their
owners desired the question Of SUI
premacy settled. Every one expected a
fine race, but no n anticipated see
ing the fastest quarter-nlile that was
ever made on a race track.
Bob Wade Hard Pressed
"Nettie s. head was at Bob Wade's
shoulder as they dashed over the fin
ish line. It was the closest kind of a
race. Cyclone was only a length behind.
The time was 2la seconds. Bob Wade
had started a trifle behind and came
down to the finish line like a shot. Be-
fore the time was known many habitues
of the track declared that they never
saw such running. The worlds mark
was beaten by a quarter of a second
Bob Wade was owned by A. H. Sutton
of Walla Walla. Nettie S, the gray mare
of Anaconda, was owned by Barker
and Parrot, while Cyclone was a Cali
cock.

half hour of ring tales of past and
present days. AS the particular visit was
about to end, I mentioned to "Biddy"
that he must feel at home in the room
that he had slept in so many nights in
bygone years.
"It's my nightmare room," said
Bishop. 1T was in this room, while I
was managing Herrera, that I had
dreams about plotting him to a worlds
championship. Lots of nights I was
patories only to be told that Herrera
was out on a lark. That meant I had
to get up, go out and bring Herrera
in this room and keep him in. My pleas

Be that as it may, if Bishop plans a

him then will have no difficulty find

room.

B1DDY BISHOP AND HERRERA

"Blddy' Bishop, h haS had many
a nightmare managing boxers for close
to IS years, began his series of night
mares in a Butte hotel room while
managing Aurelio Herrera, the Mex
lean lightweight. Herrera was Biddy's
first and greatest fighter. He has had
hundreds of scrappers of all weights
under his wing in the flock Of IL
months that have marched on.
A thousand and n or more nights,
Bishop has slept in Butte, but always
in the same room and in the same bed.
When "Biddy" was living here those
many years ago, he had a room at q
certain hostelry. In the last Is years
the old maestro has paid Butte sew
eral visits. Each time "Biddy' regis
tered at the same hotel, and in advance
OF his coming, reserved the same old
room.
Bishops last visit was in 1884. It was
his first visit in five years. I heard he
was in town and asked Jere Clifford
where I could find him.
The same hotel In the same old

TIGER COACH FROM HELENA

A~AA OO&AOAA A1OO&NA
An old Montana friend, Del Baker,
Is acting as boss Of the world cham
pion Detroit team while Mickey"
Cochrane, the head man, was hospital
izing. The former Helena catcher is
the right bower to Cochrane, and has
been ever since Conchrane has been
at the helm Of the Tigers.
While with the Helena club Del
earned a $40 bill without trying to-
IN fact, the act that brought the dough
was just what Del didn't want to do.
1t was in a game at Helena, Del was
waiting his turn at bat. He was on
deck. A fan called him to the grand
stand and Offered him $40 if he would
hit into a double play. Del merely
laughed at the fan, and headed for
the batter's box.
There was a man on third, with one
out. Baker smashed the first ball
pitched. It was a line drive to the third
haseman, who stepped on the bag to
complete the double play.
$40 for a Bad Break
AS Del came in to put on his shin
guards, protector, etc., the fan leaned
over the stands and handed him $40,
Del refused to take it, but the fan in
sisted.
That's for hitting into a double

ATOKA BEAT OWN MARK

The Anaconda Standard of Sept. 8,
1906, offered the following description
OF Atoka's record run:
."Atoka, champion at the three
great form by breaking the worlds
record for the second time during the
meeting at the distance, clipping a
quarter Of a second off his former time,
and the record now stands at 33a. APP
parently Atoka, who is an aged gelding,
sired by German and out of Dolly,
made the distance easily.
The record-breaker wa run in 8
special race between Atoka, owned by
Stokes and Spagur, and Sam F., owned
by E. w. Meredith. Some dispute arose
concerning the weights carried by the
horses in a previous race, and the re-
suit was that each owner put up $3.50,
and the race of yesterday was for that
purse. Sam F. appeared to the casual
observer to have all the best of it. He
wa notorious in his ability to get away
good at the start, and he only carried
70 pounds against Atoka's 1923. However,
In spite OF the handicap of weight,
Atoka was made the favorite in the bet
ting, the best price that could be OBJ
tanned against him being 8 to 5. Sam
F. was not overlooked in the betting,
and his friends rallied to his support,
and hacked him at z to S and 8 to S.
The horses got away well together
to an almost perfect start at the first
trial. Sam F. showed his sprinting
ability Immediately, and in the first
turn he wa two lengths to the good.
Atoka apparently ran easily until the
last halt of the stretch was reached,
and then Spagur, who had the mount,
began riding, and he closed up the gap
and passed Sam F. in a phenomenal
finish in the last 10 yards, scoring two
lengths to the good and never drawing
q long breath from his exertion. The
finish was one Of the greatest ever seen
on the local track"
