Another team match will be played next
Saturday evening, and different persons
will be selected to captain the teams.
The count of the tickets in the continuous
handicap tournament at the washington
Chess Club shows that but 81 games were
played in that contest in the three months
ending September 30 last. There were
twenty competitors in all, and of these but
two qualified for prizes, viz: F. B. Walker
and DR.. Hodges. The former won % games
and lost 2S, his percentage being .I2S Sc
curing first prize, well as the prize for
winning the greatest number of games. DR..
Hodges won 40 and lost %, with percent
age of .3G5. Mr.. Jackson had the highest
percentage in the tourney, viz: 941, but he
had played only "a games, not enough to
entitle him to prize. Mr.. Hanna also had
a percentage Of 80, but had played only 10
games
city, after an absence of two months.
While away he visited Philadelphia, and
played some of the experts of the Franklin
Chess Club He speaks very highly of the
players of the Quaker city. and says that
some of them are next to professionals.
One of the nonresident members of the
Franklin Club. Mr.. Bovingdon, has been in
the city the past week. He has played with
several of the local players and shown
himself capable of holding his own against
them. Mr. Hanna got the better of him in
a long sitting. Tuesday afternoon he play ed
with reverend gentleman, visitor from
Alexandra, an unusually strong player,
the score being three each.
Mr.. Harris, another strong player of AL
exandria, was also at the chess club on
Tuesday, contesting with other club men,
bers.
Washington has among it's residents sew
eral problem composers of national repa-
tation, and it also has some who are less
known. One of these is DR.. R. j. South
worth, who will be remembered as the con-
tributor of the prize to the Southworth
tourney, held at the chess club two years
ago. He has lately composed a problem
which is unique and ingenious and perfectly
sound.
The position is as follows: White-K at
O., @ at @ KITS. r at Q Kt8, r at KB4, Kt
at KS. Black-K at O., P's at KR2, KR3,
o. and Q Kt2.
The conditions are: White to play and
compel an exchange of the positions of the
kings and mate in seven moves. The solu-
ton will appear in next Saturdays Star
AS expected, neither Lasker nor Steinitz
are taking part in the tournament at Buda
Pesth. There are enough strong players
participating to secure its success. Pills
bury has made another bad start, brt de-
featcd Maroczy, the second prize winner
at Nuremberg. Each player will play
twelve games. The tournament ought to be
completed in a week from today.

Cough in Young Pigs.

Cough may come from sore throat OF
bronchitis in young pigs, as in other
animals, and may be chargeable to ex-
posture to cold and damp. With sore
throat the open mouth may show the
throat red, infamed and swollen. With
bronchitis the cough is at first hard and
barking, and later soft and gurgling.
Both may be treated by clean, warm.
dry, we'll Uttered pen, in the case of
weaned pigs by warm, soft food, and
by five grain doses of muriate Of am
monia four or five times day. A wool
en- rag tied round the throat or chest,
as the case may demand, will often do
good, and teaspoonful Of strong am
monia inside this cloth will usually
prove valuable as counter irritant. In
other cases the cough is due to worms
in the bronchial tubes of the lungs,
and in such a case the affection is
likely to attack successive filters in the
same pen irrespective of weather or eX-
posture. The temperature Of the body,
too, rarely rises above the normal QO3
degrees F.. The cough is wheeling or
rafting. and masses of mucus are
sometimes expelled by the mouth.
These masses should be carefully ex-
amined for the worms, one or two
inches long and the thickness of fine
white thread, which will give the GER
tainty of their presence in the lungs.
These cases should be treated by fumi-
cations with burning sulphur in close
building, the administrator staying
with the animals and letting the air in
or the pigs out whenever he finds it too
concentrated for his own breathing.
This should be done daily for half an
hour for week, and repeated again for
the same length of time after an inter-
val of a week. Advantage may also
be had from fifteen drops spirits of
turpentine in one-half ounce sweet oil
daily for a few days.-Prof. Law, be-
fore N. Y. Institute.

RenuIres ExperienCe.

Stock raising is not a business that
can be engaged in without experience
as all those who have ventured can
testify to. 1t requires time to grade
up herd to a high standard, such as
every ambitious breeder should
aspire to. But even if it does re-
quire time, that should not be a
stumbling block. 1t is far better TO
take a little more time and have a
high grade than economic time and
raise inferior stock. The time has
gone by when scrub production is
tolerated; every progressive farmer
has his eyes opened to the advantage
Of thoroughbreds, and those who get
out of the old rust first will be bene-
flied. Where one is able to invest suf-
ficient capital to secure superior ami
mails at the start there will be a saving
of time, and profit will come in sooner.
but ordinary stock can only be i'm
proved by allowing a sufficient period
Of time for so doing.
Moreover, stock breeding is not
much more than in its infancy, and
an opening on the ground floor yet
remains.-Among Live Stock.

plsInfectlng Turkey Quarters.

Dislnfectlng Turkey Quarters
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
been investigating "black-head" in tur-
keys. Incidentally it gives the follow
ing instructions as to disinfection:
From our present knowledge Of the
transmission of this disease it is sug-
gested that farmers and poultry raisers
who have recently had this disease in
their flocks should dispose Of their old
turkeys and start by Matching turkey
eggs under hens or with turkeys OBJ
tanned from non-infected districts,
preferably from the south, as this dis
ease is not known to exist there. AS a
precautionary measure, the turkey
roosts, especially the accumulated
droppings, should be disinfected early
in the spring before the young turkeys
are Matched or old ones introduced. The
liberal use of Stacked lime in the yards
most frequently occupied by the dis
eased turkeys is recommended. A SER
viceable disinfectant for buildings and
places containing the feces Of diseased
turkeys is the following:
Crude carbolic acid. =. one-half gallon
Crude sulphuric acid. .one-half gallon
These two substances should be
mixed in tubs or glass vessels. The
sulphuric acid is very slowly added to
the carbolic acid. During the mixing
large amount Of heat is developed.
The disinfecting power of the mixture
is heightened if the amount of heat is
kept down by placing the tub or glass
demijohn containing the carbolic acid
in cold water while the sulphuric acid
is being added. The resulting mixture
is added to water in the ratio of 1 to
20. One gallon of mixed acids will
thus furnish twenty gallons of strong
disinfecting solution, having a slightly
milky appearance. 1t is quite corro-
sive, and care should be taken to pro-
tect the eyes from accidental splashing

A restless or unquiet hog is the most
Improbable of his kind and is a con-
slant reminder Of the herd that once
persisted in the sea. Sometimes 1t
would seem that a part Of that herd
might have escaped and the devils null
tiplied in their descendants. AS swine
are only raised for the sake OF their
flesh and fat, it is very proper to con-
slider this subject in relation to us
healthfulness as an article OF human
diet as well as on the score Oh econ
omy. Swine flesh is used by all nations
and people on this globe where 1t can
be obtained with very small per cent
age who refrain from its use, simply
because it is forbidden by their eccles-
iastical law All psychologists are
NAL and that flesh as we'll as fruits and
grain are necessary to healthy exist
ence. If sound mind in sound body
is the greatest blessing we enjoy in this
world, we cannot reasonably expect
either unless the body is properly nour-
ished. To keep or preserve this state
of health animal food of some kind is
necessary to preserve the equilibrium
between the waste and supply. One can
hardly imagine how our ancestors lived
and propagated their kind without the
aid of the chemist to tell them just how
much fiesh-forming, fat-forming and
all the etceteras were to be found in
their dailyratiOns, provided they always
were able to obtain those rations. AS
swine's flesh has been an article OF nu-
man diet so long that the written mem
ory Of man. running back so many cen
turtles, has not been able to tell its nrst
introduction, can we find any good and
sufficient reason why its use should pc
condemned at the present day? Just
look at our country and see how the
forests of the new world were cleared
away and fitted for the substitution OF
modern civilization. The hog played
no unimportant agent in the labors OF
the sturdy yeoman of pioneer life.-

four or five eggs day, and that, too,
all the spring. For about two weeks
straight every pullet of my Wyandottes
laid six eggs for eight hens. My Brown
Leghorns did about the same. My Ham
burgs are a little behind, laying about
so per cent of possible hundred, that
is, three or four eggs for a pen OF SIX
hens. For some reason unknown,
poultry are not laying so well this sea-
son as for some years back. This IS
true of other poultry as we'll as OF
chickens. Also the new chicks are not
showing up very fast. What are
Matched out seem very strong ana
healthy. The old hens are not so in
clined to sit as formerly. Perhaps they
have been reading Fosters weather
reports, and are putting off business
for settled weather. But there is plenty
Of time yet, especially with the small
breeds. l raised my best chicks last
year in June, and some were even
Matched in September. They were
hachted in an incubator, and are now
laying just as we'll as the chicks
Matched earlier. The best laying my
birds ever did for me was three years
ago. Six pullets in April Of that year
gave me 1852 eggs, and then one of the
pullets was out seven days.

Speaking of improving the quality of
beef, Professor Gulley says: II have
tested several foods for the purpose,
and among them sorghum, which I first
grew in 1892. Sorghum will produce
as much grain as a good corn crop and
is better adapted to a hot and dry eli
mate than corn. Many experiments
have been conducted to determine what
the effect of sorghum is upon the ami
NAL. Notwithstanding the fact that
many scoff at the idea of scientific feed
ing, dairymen and many that feed for
beef are realizing that there is much in
it. What is known as balanced food

Crimson or Scarlet Glover.

The Ohio experiment station has
made several experiments with crimson
or scarlet clover during the past four
seasons, all of which have thus far re-
suited in failure. The chief difficulty
has apparently been that the dry
weather, which is so common in Ohio
during August, the time when this
clover is ordinary sown, has killed the
young plants after termination. OF
late years this summer drought has
regularly extended into the fall.
Whether this clover will endure our
winters is also doubtful point.

Improving the Herd.-The calf OF a
good COW may easily be improved, and
by repeated efforts constant tendency
to improvement will be fixed on the
progeny of the cows thus trained. Some
dairymen have been engaged for many
years in thus improving milking cows.
Selecting the best calves from the best
COWS, and training these by feeding and
encouraging the milking habit, every
generation for more than twenty years
has been better than the parent cows.
The result has been that sort of local
reputation for rearing good cows mas
been established, and the young helfers
with their first calves sell for twice as
much as any other cows in the locality.
This is worth the time and pains taken
to gain the result, not to mention the
larger product of better milk, Of which
