H. H, \Iclunley operates a meat
market and restaurant down in In-
diana - but what he says [night
strike right home to some of us
living north of the border as well.
McKinley buys his animals locally
and kills all his own meat. He
claims that farmers are their own
worst customers when it comes to
buying the fat and finish they
strive to put on their stock.
* * *
"About half my business is selling
beef in quarters and halves to farm-
er who
s want it for freezers or
locker storage," he says, "They like
a lean grade of neat that would
only grade commericial to good.
They don't want choice or prince.
Too fat, and they hate to see the
fat wasted. This is funny, when on
their farms they feed their stock
to put on fat."
5 * *
Worth thinking over, isn't it?
And not only in regard to beef.
e * *
When you buy new fencing, keep
in mind that the price of the wire
is only a entail part of the price -
is the good advice handed out by
J. F. Schaffhausen, writing in "The
Country Gentleman." The big cost
is posts, labor to set thein and erect
the wire, staples and annual main-
tenance.
This means that to get the lowest
fencing cost per year you should
begin with wire that is strong
enough for the job and properly
galvanized. Also, you need treated
posts, placed properly, braced where
needed, and on them the wire must
be stretched and rstapled cer rectly.
After the fence is in place, it
needs at Least one annual inspec-
tion so that etapies that have pulled
loose can be renailed aroken
strands repaired, and weak or bro-
ken braces corrected. Clean fence
rows are an asset, but don't burn
the brush and grass away. Heat
may destroy the galvanizing ,:'n the
wire anti permit rust to deeelop.

When these wires are in place, use
a alter[ piece ,1f pipe to twist them.
and create a tension great enough
to pull the tops of the posts until
they are leaning slightly in the op-
posite direction from which the
fence is stretched. Then, when the
fence is tightly stretched, these
posts will be plumb. Leave the pipe
in the wire to permit adjusting this
brace on your annual rounds,
k * *
A line post which is not perform-
ing its full function is a weak link
and should be replaced at once, Rot-
ted and weather -cracked posts that
no longer hold staples should be
cutr r
out and replaced. Since c
the
P e
ground may be frozen when you
make your fence inspection, digging
holes for new posts may be difficult.
It's easy, however, to drive a steel
post, and the fence can be attached
in a few minutes. So carry a supply
of steel posts on your fence round
and drive them 2 feet down into
the ground along the fence line
where you find you need then[.
* * *
Broken strands in a woven -wire
fence may be fatal to the life of a
fence unless they are promptly re-
paired. If you do not already have
a good wire splicing tool, acquire
one. If you do the job with a pair
of pliers, the chances are that the
galvanized coating on the wire will
be removed,
5' * 5'
If you are snaking use of an oc-
casional steel post alongside wood
posts to provide spots for ground-
ing fence wire against lightning,
check to see if both the woven wire
and the barbed wire are well
grounded. Animals often drift into
the wind into a fence corner, where
they huddle. The weight of their
bodies occasionally disconnects in-
securely grounded wires.
x * *
Persons climbing over a fence
can cause considerable damage,
Wires are stretched or staples are
torn loose; braces are cracked and
nails pulled out. Prevent this dam-
age by constructing stiles in the
places along the fence line where
the traffic is not heavy enough to
warrant the use of the gates.
*
Large gates usually present a
problem. The light ones are easy to
operate, but can be broken when
livestock crowd against them.
Heavy gates, on the other hand,
often sag and are hard to operate
enless they are well designed and
properly hung. Plank the fence for
12 -feet on both sides of the gate if
large herds of cattle will he passing
through. This will reduce damage to
the fence.
If the passage is used frequently
l,y trucks or tractors, you may twain
a cattle guard instead of a gate. To
eeild one, dig a pit 18 -inches deep,
as wide as the lane and 5 or 6 feet
i•,r,g. Place an 8 -inch -wide reitlfor-
d concrete wall around the pit,
Form a ledge in the walls at the
sides of the road to support pipes,
rails or timbers flush with the lane,
Now divide the pit into three parts
and build two additional walls to
support the guard rails at the inter-
mediate points, When the concrete
hardens, place the rails 6 inches
apart. Use 2 -inch steel pipe to stip-
port cars, tractors and iight trucks.
For supporting loaded trucks, you
will need discarded railroad rails
or small I -beams.
* *
eontrnl ceoat3'6' sheep, Ve
snaptdl wings sloping from the ends
of the pit to the fence or gate
should be provided. These animals
will cross over if even a2 -inch -wide
smooth passage exists,

The late and still lamented Ring
Lardner wrote some of the greatest
sport yarns that ever saw print.
But one of the things which dif-
ferentiated hint from most of his
tribe was that he Bever choked up
or grew misty -eyed over the char-
acters he was describing -a decided
contrast to some of our modern
sports chroniclers who would have
you believe that, even though some
of our baseball, prize -ring and race=
track heroes may be a trifle rough
on the outside, they're solid 24 -
carat gold at heart,
H s 4
Read such of Lardner's stories as
" Chauipion;' about the great prize
fighter who was a louse at heart, or
baseball tales such as "illihi Ike,"
and you'll sec better what we're
trying to get at. Ring called then[
as he saw them; and he raw then[
more clearly than most; and we'll
never forget his comment, when
baseball's biggest scandal broke
in 1919 and folks were going
around saying that the Chicago
Black Sox, in addition to being
crooked, bad been a pretty poor
bunch of ball players to bcot,
* * *
"I don't like what the Sox did
any better titan ativbocl' - else,"
quoth Lardner, or words to that
effect, . "still, that isn't going to
make me say that Eddie Cicotte
didn't have a- swell fast one, or that
Shoetess Joe Jackson couldn't take
a sweet cut at. the ball."
* *
Soi
it is only fitting that one of
Ring's sons -John, to be exact -
should do a grand job of debunking
cue of sportdonl's greatest myths
in a recent magazine article. This
is the myth that the game of base-
ball is a strictly United States prod-
act -that it was, in fact, invented
practically in its entirely, and in-
cluding its name, one summer's
afternoon at a place called '.'oopers-
to rn, N.Y., in the year 1839.
* * *
Upon this myth has been built
the Cooperstown "Shrine of Base-
ball," to which certain of the
Scotch Influence -There's no
lavish waste of material in this
trim swim suit modelled by
Mary Brown. A touch o' the
Highlands is also evident in
the plaid "kilt" effect formed
by the ballerina ruffles at the
bottom. Designed by Margar-
et Newman, the suit has a sim-
ple, strapless bodice.
game's "immortals" are elected at
regular intervals. As a producer
of baseball ballyhoo and material
for after -banquet speeches in the
off season, Cooperstown has prob-
ably been worth all it cost, and
more. The whole trouble is that
the records go to prove (1) that the
game wasn't invented at Coopers-
town; (2) that Abner Doubleday
bad nothing to do with its inven-
tion, or the drawing up of Cts rules,
and (3) that the name baseball was
used for a somewhat similar game
in England years'before it was ever
heard of on this side of the Atlantic,
k * *
For example, in the year 1700,
the Rev. Thomas Willem, of Maid-
stone, England, was writing some
of his memoirs of the century just
ending. "I have seen Morris -danc-
ing, cudgel -playing," he wrote,
"baseball and cricket and many
other sports on the Lord's Day."
(We wonder if they took a vote
about it first, as happened recently
in the Queen City of Toronto),
More than that, a far greater and
better known writer than the Rev.

Mr. Wilson also nnade reference to
baseball by that name, She was
Jane Austen who, in her novel,
"Northanger Abbey," wrote, "It is
not very wonderful that Catherine
should prefer cricket, baseball, rid-
ing on horseback and running
about the country at the age of 14,
to books."
* :k 'x
It wouldn't be fair to quote the
article at any great length You'll
T

E

:MAGAZINE, and it's well worth
looking up. But, as John Lardner
figures it, the whole thing seems to
stent from a controversy between
A. G. Spalding -the man who did
more to put the game on a solidly
profitable commercial basis than
anybody else -anti one, Henry
Chadwick, sometimes called the
"Father of Baseball,"
* * 'I'
Chadwick, although a real lover
of and authority on baseball, was
English by birth. He believed that
the game derived from the British
sport of "rounders." Al Spalding
would have none of such heresay.
* * *
"I claim that baseball owes its
prestige as our national game to
the fact that as no other sport, it
is the exponent of American cour-
age, confidence, combativeness,
American dash, discipline, deter-
mination, American energy, eager-
ness, enthusiasm, American plucic,
persistency, performance, American
spirit, sagacity, success -it would
be as impossible for a Briton, who
has not breathed the air of this free
land as a naturalized citizen; for
ane who had no part or heritage
in the hopes and achievements of
our country, to play baseball, as it
would be for an American, free
front the trammels of English tradi-
tions, customs and conventionalities,
to play the national game of Great
Britain."
* '9 *
And so, Mr. 'Spalding appointed
an investigating committee to go
into the matter. And -sure enough
-they investigated and discovered
that baseball was the sole invention
of little Abner Doubleday and his
playmates.
* * .
However, as we said before, we
haven't the heart -or the space -
to spoil your pleasure by quoting
more of a grand sports article. Look
it up yourself. But try and do so
right soon. Because, any day now,
we expect that the real, genuine,
blown -in -the -bottle truth is going
to burst upon us. Then we'll learn
that baseball wasn't invented by the
English, Irish, Scots or the Amer-
icans. "Who else but a Russian -
name of Ubumski-could have been
responsible for such a grand and
glorious institution Just today
Stalin's boys have revealed that the
art of printing was a Russian dis-
covery, and we're prepared for any-
thing now.
