College basket ball, still a young
sport gives evidence of making great
strides the coming season. Already
Columbia and Harvard are considering
plans for the formation of i've team
Intercollegiate basket ball association
Such a league would give the sport
great boom and by making it possible
to have an intercollegiate champion
would put it more on the plane of hook
ey and lacrosse.
Columbia expects to foster basket
ball this year, for she had good team
last season. and now has great hopes
of producing championship five. Vic
tory over the colleges is her only OBJ
feet, and the cther matches to be played
are more from financial necessity and
for practice than anything else. Two
or three big games are all Columbia
can support In her own gymnasium
and the maintenance of her quintet
must come largely from out of town
guarantees.
in Columbia's varsity crew last July,
will play guard. and G. NJ. Marston
will occupy the same position on the
other side of the line. These two form
a splendid defense. Captain. Allen,
Frank Goodman and III. II. Elias will
play forward. and no better men for
these four positions are desired. Only
at center Is new man needed, and
there are several available men.

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
ly show in the flavor of the flesh any
food that has 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 little of such food, and it
may not harm them when growing,
but the flavor of 1t can be detected
perhaps in twenty-four hours after it IL
fed.

determine whether nitrogen and potash
are necessary in fertilizers where clo-

not be altogether dispensed with in
such rotation. The trend of evidence

PEOPLE CANNOT
AFFORD TO DIE
Price OF csGlns Has Advanced
rs Per Cent.
RLt DUE TO THE TRUSTS
COFFEE BOARDS UP TO SIS PER
THOUSAND.

Death is becoming more and more
a luxury as a result Of the rapidly in
eFeasins price % collins, and poor peo-
pie are beginning to feel that they can
hardly afford to die. There has been
a marked advance in the price of Iun-
Der that enters into the manufacture
Of collins This lumber has just been
mceased in price from sic to S24. per
thousand, making the present price SIS
per thousand. The particular lumber
affected is, composed of pine boards
sixteen inches wide. boards that are
usually used in the manufacture of
collins, caskets and coffin boxes. This
lumber comes almost wholly from the
northwest, and because Of tie heavy
oraI.s being made on the forests the
supply is becoming exhausted.
The local undertakers and lumber
dealers have felt the full force Of the
advance. In lumber there has been an
advance Of from 25 to 80 per cent COM
pared with two years ago, and the
same is true as to collins and the other
supplies used by the undertakers Of the
city 5. B. Evans. the undertaken,
said.
Yes, the prices Of all undertaking
goods have gone up in common with
Tie prices of all other commodities.
There has been no radical advance re-
Gently, but the advance for the past
year has BEEN fully % per cent The
casket that would have cost 500 two
years ago, costs not less than S135 now.
The advance has not been confined to
the lumber that goes into the con-
strucuon of the casket; there has been
the same advance in all kinds Of metal
and cloth trimmings, and in fact all
articles used in the undertaking bust
ness
No one consulted on this subject
seemed to see any improvement in the
future. People make no secret of at
UtbUting the heavy advances to the
lumber and the coffin trusts, and hold
that the extra profits go not to the
dealer but to the stockholders in the
great. organization that control the
comm ldities.
