heavy outlay on half acre. and II they

manure sells at high price Probably

Foreigners at Henley.

The whole question Of the admission
Of foreigners to the race for the Grand
Challenge cup at Henley will come up
for discussion before the stewards OF
The regatta M their next meeting.
W. ii. Grenfell. the famous old OK.
ford oarsman. in letter to the London
press urges that this matter be fully
considered by all rowing clubs in the
habit Of making entries for the cup.
He -euumerates the objections that
have been made TO the conversion Of a
domestic regatta into an International
meeting. The course" he says, rs
too short for an important internation-
al eight cared race. Under certain con
ditions Of wind It Is very far from be
ing a fair one, while the great army Of
picnickers who have before now i'm
peded racing boats might at any time
through some accident give occasion
for international unpleasantness." He
then goes on to say that no one wants
TO see Leander the perpetual winner
of the cup and that the pre-emlnence
Of the club In this respect is doing
great damage to amateur rowing, hut
that so long as picked and deliberately
trained crews from abroad are admit
ted TO the contest Leander is prac-
tically compelled to organize as strong
a crew as possible, even though in so
doing she is compelled to take the best
oars out Of competing college boats.
He concludes with the suggestion
that a committee be formed to decide
upon a regular international course,
preferably at Putney. and to provide
every possible inducement to foreign
oarsmen to enter as competitors.

Preparing Poultry For Market.

Those who are preparing poultry for
market should be particular about the
quality of the food they have, says
American Cultivator. All poultry, but
especially young poultry, either chick
ems, ducks or turkeys, will very quick
~ show in the flavor Of the flesh any
food that has a strong odor. They do
so more quickly than do fowls because
the latter pass off much Of the flavor
in their eggs. Therefore such food as
onions, turnips, cabbage, fish and de-
caying meat should be carefully kept
away from them for at least two
weeks before they are killed. They
may relish a little Of such food, and II
may not harm them when growing.

perhaps in twenty-four hours after 1t is
fed.
