March and April, before the ewes are
on pasture, while suckling lambs, the
cost will be 45 cents at the price of

safely said that tbe cost of main
niaing a herding ewe in the corn-belt
farm w ould be about $2.25. exclusive

b- the profit for one ewe. Of course,
there are losses in the ewe flock, that
will cut down the profits, ewes die and
must be replaced by younger ewes.
Some ag< and lambs must be supplied

shepherd can count on a profit of from
$4 to $5 for every ewe kept
Sine" it requires two acres of land

Sheep raising has the additional ad
vantage of involving less labor than

PARIS GREEN USED

for Killing Insects.
At this time of the year summer
garden crops are growing and much

pa-iB green for killing noxious in
•eets Paris green is a strong poison
an! insects are killed with It. Suck
ing Insects such as the true bugs and
plant lice are not killed by poisons
but by sprays that blister their bodies
or by fubftances that stop up their
breathing pores
When used as a spray the pari.;
green should first be made into a
thick paste by adding a little water
an! then adding the proper quantity
of water It is always advisable to
add also twice tbe weight of poison
of fresh slacked lime In order to ren

may be present and so prevent burn

in an Insoluble form, or as nearly so
as It Is possible to render it, hence

a making the spraying mixture use
about one-half pound of pari* green
and one pound of lime to 50 gallons

| GIFTS TO FED STARS

| Automobile for Each Player on
Winning Team.
3cheme Proposed by John Montgomery
Ward, Old Giant Shortstop, to
Interest General Public in
Games Being Played.
Federal baseball league officials, not
to be ouldene by organized baseball,
which has its world's series spoils to
dangle before the eyes of players, will
go their rivals one better in the way of
a prize by giving a $4,000 automobile
to every member of the team which
wins this year’s Federa' pennant.
Although no official announcement
to this efTect lias yet beep made by the
independents, it can be stated that
President Gilmore Is working on the
plan and will give the public the de
tails as soon as he completes them.
As there are scarcely more than a
hundred percentage points between
the first and last teams in the Federal
league, there is almost an equal chance
lor ei ery one of them to get the big
prize.
The pennant winners, however, will
not be the only ones to share in the
new league's philanthrophy. At the
end season a jury of newspaper men
will be asked to pick out a team of
Federal star players and these will
be matched against the league cham
pions. Games will be nlayed after the
close of the season similar to the
world's series, but the contests will
Lake place in several cities in order’to
give most of the fans a chance to see
the games.
For instance, if Chicago wins the
pennant a game surely would be
played in Baltimore, where Mike Doo
lin, the great shortstop, holds forth;
; Brooklyn would get a game because
j Tom Seaton would be picked by the
men for the All Stars; Indianapolis
i would also see a contest because Cy
I Falkenberg, and so on along the cir
I cult.
j The Federal promoters believe that
I the great stakes would prove a power
j ful Incentive to the players. This,
j however, is not the real object of the
! plan. The idea is to get the public
j interested so that when a fan goes to
1 see a game he will know that the
teams he is watching are out for blood
A.
John Montgomery Ward.
and that every game means something.
The scheme was proposed to President
Gilmore by John Montgomery Ward,
the old Giant shortstop, business man
ager of the Brooklyn team. The out
law chieftain greeted the proposition
enthusiastically, as did also Owner
■ Weeghinan and Manager Joe Tinker.
It is understood a standard automo
bile concern has been communicated
with and that the company has agreed
to furnish the cars at a figure consid
erably below the catalogue price be
cause of the advertising which the
plan would bring.
Practise Golden Rule.
It seems that the world is getting
better. Or so the baseball world is
at least- According to Eddie Collins
in a recent magazine story where he
! speaks of Connie Mack, the time was
! when one player would never suggest
| to another a means of improving his
play. “When I was catching behind
the bat.' says Connie, or words to this
effect. 1 was good enough on my
throw to second, but very weak at
pegging 'em to third. And while every
player in the league knew it and
benefited by it not a one of them
mentioned it to me or tried to show
me how to improve it. It would not
be that way today. The boys all help
each other along and make sugges
tions. though they are on teams that
are fighting bitterly tor a pennant.”
Russeit Will Come Back.
Without a doubt. Defty Russell, a
youth that Connie Mack once paid
the equivalent in players of $11,000
to Jack Dunn to obtain his services,
will he back in fast company next
season. This year he is placing with
the Scranton team of the New York
State league, and is not only batting
: far above the .300 mark, but is cov
j ering the first sack like a Mclnnes.
Even in his pitching days Russell was
always noted for his fleetness of foot
and batting ability.
Rc Chester's Latest Purchase.
The Rochester club's latest, and
final, purchase is Pitcher Fred Herche
from the Boston National club. With
the purchase of Herche, Manager Gan
zel announced that the local club
had spent $20,000 this spring tor new
players to take the piace of those
either lost to the Fcderals or dropped
because they were not considered fast '
enougr. He now has a team that
he believes will win the pennant with
out further change.
POPULAR WITH BALL FANS IN NEW YORK
*- ^
Larry McLean of New York Giants.
Long Larry McLean has made a great bid for honors since joining the
Giants and is playing the best ball of bis career in addition to behaving
himself on and off the field. While with the Reds Larry developed the repu
tation of being a "bad actor," but his New York sojourn has been singularly
peaceful and’ free from trouble.
He adds considerable strength to the Giants, stepping into the breach
whenever Chief Myers is out of the line-up. Larry is a first-class backstop
and is a good hitter. When in condition there are few- more valuable men
behind the bat in the big leagues. He has got along in good style with
McGraw and has given his best efforts to the Giants, l^arry acted as catcher
for the Cincinnati Reds for several seasons and later was with the St. Louis
Cardinals.

WHY NOT FUTURE GREATNESS
Two Qualifications Surely Entitled
Young Mother to Fondest Hopes
for Her Son.
Occasionally these days one finds a
servant with a servile attitude of mind
and an adoring, unselfish heart. Such
a nurse maid was Pansy, and she lav
ished all the devotion of her simple
heart on her young charge, Bobby. On
his first birthday anniversary she sat
looking at him in admiration and after
a long silence she turned to her mis
tress:
"Mrs. Blank, do you think Bobby will
ever be president of the United
States?”
The young mother would not alto
gether pooh-pooh the idea of such
glowing possibilities for her son’s fu
ture, so she smiled and said: “Well,
you never can tell. Pansy. He might.
But why did you ask that?”
"Oh,” came the ready reply, “I was
just sitting looking at him, and he's so
smart and bright already; and besides,
I thought he'd make such a pretty
president!"—Kansas City Star.

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that
of all the children bom in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven
percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen 1
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a
majority of these precious fives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they Btupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Chaa. H. Fletcher. Castoria
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the akin and allays fever.
Genuine Castoria always bears the signature »f (

Now that the Scottish holiday sea
son is just about to begin there is a
controversy in the north as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. It
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some of the southerners re
sent this. They want more vegeta
bles. for instance, and a greater va
riety of them. They demand turnip
tops (a luxury rarely consumed north
of the Tweed, save hv sheep), and
ask. “Why no spinach?" Also they
want a heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say it is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, a midday dinner and a high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
As for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply of Scotland
to the fault-finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out
side.—London Chronicle.
Quite a Contrast.

WRONG BREAKFAST.
Change Gave Rugged Health.
Many persons think that for 1
strength, they must begin the day
with a breakfast of meat and other i
heavy foods. This is a mistake as
anyone can easily discover for him
self.
A W. Ya. carpenter's experience
may benefit others. He writes:
“I used to be a very heavy break- !
fast eater but finally indigestion
caused me such distress, 1 became ;
afraid to eat anything.
“My wife suggested a trial of Grape- .
Nuts and as 1 had to eat something
or starve, I concluded to take her
advice. She fixed me up a dish and :
I remarked at the time that the qual- i
ity was all right, but the quantity was
too small—1 wanted a saucerful.
"But she said a small amount of
Grape-Nuts went a long way and that
I must eat It according to directions.
So 1 started in with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs and seme
crisp toast for breakfast.
“I cut out meats and a lot of other
stuff I had been used to eating all
my life and was gratified to see that
I was getting better right along. I
concluded I had struck the right thing
and stuck to it, I had not only been
eating improper food, but too much.
“I was working at the carpenter's
trade at that time and thought that
unless I had a hearty breakfast with
plenty of meat, I would play out be
fore dinner. Bnt after a few days of
my “new breakfast” I found I could
do more work, frit better in every
way, and now I am not bothered with
indigestion,”
