Raise One Freed Onlv.

The trouble with most farmers who follow the advice to stick to one breed is that they fall into the habit of per hitting too close in-breeding. Beyond all question the man who sticks to one breed of cows, swine, sheep or poultry, until he thoroughly understand the re- quirements and peculiapities, is the one who makes money. This state ment, however, needs the proYiso that he takes proper precautions regarding the introduction of new blood suffici- ently often to prevent running out of the race. The new blood may be either male or female, usually the former is more convenient, but it must not be akin nor must 1t have taint of any other breed, but be as pure, or better still, more pure than the flock or herd tOwhich he is introduced. A good boar at S25, or high bred cock at S10. will build up the stock to a degree that will render the fnvestmet for new blood very cheap. Thoroughbreds are the element of success a farmer can hardly afford to overlook.

Rapid eating is one of the worst evils in young fowls Wet meal is thrown to them, they gorge them selves until surfeited and then die.
 Mark the chickens each year so that you can know their age. Kill or sell them after the third year.
 The food trough that is kept full is the lazy mans method of feeding poultry. It is not only expensive but unhealthful.
 When feeding grain to hens scatter it. Phis not only keeps the greedy hens from getting more than their share, but colnpels all to hunt for it
 Turkeys are capable of rapid di- gestion and are apparently always hungry. If allowed to forage they can be kept at small expense; if confined they will eat more than hens.
 One advantage of the woven-wire fence is that it neeG not be so high as fences made of other material. For some reasons fowls will rarely try to fly over it.
 Too much stimulating food causes oyer-egg production. The result from such treatment will be poor matching. weak chickens and inferior fowls. A good variety of sound, nourishing food is much better.

Advice for Selection of the Birds and Di-
 rections for their Manipulation.
 The best pigeons for raising squabs are q cross between the runt and tue common pigeon. When these are not readily obtainable the next best are the common ones. The white ones are preferable to the blue, for the reason that the squabs bring higher prices usually, but otherwise one is as good asanother. Squabs should be killed just before they are ready to leave the nest. At this time they are fatter, heavier and tenderer than at any other. They are killed by bleeding in the mouth, and usually sold unpieked and un- drawn.
 As the birds pair, it is necessary to have as many males as females in order to prevent constant quarreling, and each pair of birds should have q seperate nesting place.
 One of Che best ways of providing for this is to put up a row of shelves and divide them into apartments not less than q foot square. Half of the open space should be covered with a board to shelter the nests from the light
 A setting of eggs will be laid and matched every month except February. This is the pairing month
 The best plan of feeding is in troughs OF hoppers, always feeding liberally. Gray peas. wheat and corn make q good ration, cracking the corn always; corn alone is too fattening
 Provide plenty of pure fresh water where they can help themselves.

INTERCOLLEGIATE GYMNASTS.
Sixteen Colleges VIII Compete I'm
the Chnmpionship Games.

s~AS oaAcSs
NEW YORK, March 1.-Sixteen colleges
have entered teams in the tournament for
the intercollegiate gymnastic championship,
to be conducted under the auspices of the
New York university on March "a. These
colleges are Harvard, Yale Princeton. Penn
sylvania. Columbia. Cornell. Amherst, Wes-
leyan, Lehigh, Lafayette. Swarthmore, Hav
errord Rutgers. Union, Union Theological
and the New York university.
There have been many gymnastIc contests
among the colleges in the past, but this
will be the first meeting that could fairly
be called championship ever held in the
United States. One of the causes for the
slow growth of gymnastics in popular favor
was the remarkable craze for track ath-
ietics which developed a little over decade
ago Previous to that gymnastics held high
place in college sports, and an annual cham
plonship would have undoubtedly long since
been inaugurated but for the introduction of
track and field sports. In the last few years
gymnastics have gained something like their
former prestige, and there is little danger
OF them again taking a back seat in college
pastimes. In fact. even the athletic enthusi-
asts now recognize the fact that a proper
amount of training on the various apparatus
In the gymnasium will prove beneficial rath-
er than harmful to the candidates for the
track team
The conditions governing the championship
on March "a are as follows:
Flrst-Each competitor shall perform three
exercises of his own selection or combina-
Second-Except In case of accident to the
apparatus, no second attempt shall Be al
lowed.
Third-The judges shall mark each for
niinseif, IN ratio to five points for a per-
rect performance, taking into consideration.

The records of the United States weather

in fact. there was only one corresponding

NEW YORK, March 1.-The repre-

clubs which make UP the National

meeting of the league this afternoon at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. They accom-

five hours deliberation, adjourned un-

terday the board of arbitration and
board Of directors passed upon the
standing Of the Sportman's Park and
Club association. of ST. Louis, which
means the st Louis Base ball club. and
when they adjourned it looked as if the
franchise of the st. Louis organization
was in danger of being wiped out.
W hen the magnateS met today the
hrSt question taken I'D was the ST
Louis middle, and after a thorough
discussion, in which several represent
atives were in favor of taking i1nmed1-
ate action which would be adverse to
the clubs prospects, it was decided by
a vote to that the report of the
directors recommending expulsion be
received and placed on file
In view of the fact that the assets
OF the club in question are to be sold
at public auction, in st. Louis, on the
18th instant. it would seem that the
magnates, after long discussion. had
decided rot to take action which might
be contrary to law.

right Of representation with B. s.
Muckenfuss, of st. Louis has given his
proxy to Mr.. Abel, of the Baltimore
Brooklyn combination, but it is not
likely that this will benefit him in the
least
This st. Louis trouble may cause a
poStponement of the schedule meeting
through some legal technicality but
the majority Of those interested in
league matters claim that it will not.
SCHEDULES PRESENTED.
Three schedules were presented at
the meeting this afternoon. President
Nick Young, of Washington, handed
