ABOUT THE SMALL FARM.

So much Is being printed concerning the
d~esirability of the small farm over the
large one, we nave often urged 1t in this
department, there is abundance opportun-
ity for one TO get a wrong conception or
the situation and make costly and almost
fatal mistakes. With some readers the
impression seems to prevail that the adj
vice is to turn to gardening on a few acres
and let the rest Of the farm shift for it
self. This might be prohtably done IN
some cases and in some sections but In
the majority Of cases it would be suicidal.
There are many farms In the country on
which corn is the main crop. A man may
have fifty to 100 acres in corn and make a
crop of thirty or forty bushels per acre
while if he had twenty acres in corn he
could readily increase his yield and, per-
haps, put the balance into meadow and
make much more actual profit with much
less work than he did on the larger area.
Here is an instance of where he would
gain by the change. On the other hand
he might turn one-half of the fifty acres
into truck garden stuff and by reason Of
the added expense for help and fertilizers
and his distance from market make less
money and do more work han he did on
the fifty acres in corn even with the low
crop average. h mater of a reduction Of
the cultivated area must needs be looked
at very closely and, if the change is made,
do it on the lines which will increase the
profit and reduce the labor and expense
else It Is not a profitable move.

WINTER FEEDING OF SWINE.

Some people feel that 1t makes no diff
ference where or how the hogs are fed
provided they nave enough feed. This is
not logical reasoning for unless the swine
are fed in a manner and in a place so that
they can eat comfortably the food does
not benefit them as it would under other
conditions. When cool weather begins we
arrange our troughs under cover and place
them on one side of a platform raised sew
eral inches from the floor care being taken
not to get them too high or the hogs will
slip in getting up particularly as they get
heavy. The idea Of the platform is that
after they nave finished feeding they Will
get down on the lower level where the
bedding is and where there is more room.
IT this way there is little opportunity to
soil ,ne troughs, we place them a little
high so that the heavy hog would be some
what troubled to get its feet In the trough,
and nothing to tempt them to stay on the
platform after they have finished eating.
Troughs placed In the manner described
also give one an opportunity 10 keep them
much cleaner han would be possible in
any other way. The plan is worth looking
into and few hog houses are SO arranged
that they cannot be planned to provide
for this manner of feeding,

FEEDING GREEN BONE.

There is some mlsconception regarding
the use of zone for poultry. Much dry
ground bone is used which is of little value
to the poultry. On the other hand the
green cut bone, which is readily broken
into pieces suitable for the poultry to con-
sumo, by the use of the bone mill, sup
plies ,.le fowls with considerable nitrogen
Gus food in addition to furnishing the al
bumen for the eggs and the lime for the
shells so that, in winter, when the fowls
cannot get the necessary materials for
these purposes on the range, the green
bone Is absolutely necessary TO them for
best results If one Is looking for eggs. In
addition, the cost is very small for bones
can be had from the local butcher, as a
rule. at little or no cost so that the eX-
pense is the cost of the mill and the Ia
Dor of operating it. Be sure the green
bone is fed in your hennery this winter If
you would get proper egg returns.

the liveliest interest In the proceedings, es-
peciaIIy the two new members of the board.
Messrs. Dillon of the War and Gauss Of
the Navy. It has been decided to continue
the distinctive uniforms for the eight teams
worn last season. so the colors OF each
club will be the same as hitherto.
nj the last meeting Of the league reso-
luton was adopted that settles for the
coming season the eligibility Of the players,
and il will prevent any trading or jumping
of players from one Office to another. It
was introduced by Chief Clerk Dawson of
the Interior. and Is as follows:
THAT the eligibility Of any person for ac-
tive membership Of this league shall te de-
termined by his qualification on the 18th
of March OF each year, and no transfer
departments represented in the league shall
operate to change the status of any active
member. qualify him TO play with any
club during the following season, except
that for which he is eligible on the said
10Th of March"
Another important move was adopted at
the last meeting In regard to postponed and
tied games. which Will prevent the squab-
bles that ensGed last year in the matter of
playing them off. 1t was decided that all
such games are to be played off In the or
der in which they occur, on dates fixed by
the board of directors, and the same penal
" will apply 10 the team who fails to ap-
pear is provided in regularly scheduled
games-forfeiture and credit of game won
to the team on hand and ready to play.
The directors are receiving applications
for the position of official umpires of the
league but are moving slowly In this mat
ter. they want to get a good field to
pick from.

The Corcoran Cadets basket ball team OF
the National Guard. the champions of the
District OF Columbia, was organized in 1896
and is considered one of the strongest
teams of the east. Since Its organization
ten years ago II has won five champion
ships. and for the past three years has won
the championship of the District. Since the
third year of it's organization the team has
not finished below third place in any league.

Weber occupied the right garden in the
game with Anna polls and showed that he
ts capable of good work. AS captain of the
team of the Department of Agriculture last
season he was one of the best in the line

out in the championship race, which was
to a great extent due to the game which
Weber put up.

without doubt one of the most conscientious
players in the colleges today. He has done
much good work on the local teams and

have little concern that the center garden

TALK OF AN EASTERN
BOWLING ORGANIZATION

The recent bowling congress held at
Louisville continues to be the main topic
of discussion among the local bowlers. ana
the treatment accorded the easterners by
the western aggregation is the most dis
CUssed phase Of the convention.
Since the westerners took things In their
own hands and elected western man
president and then chose ST Louis as the
next meeting place when 1t looked easy Tor
Philadelphia, talk of an eastern organiza-
ton has been going around among the
eastern cities. The bowlers of this city are
quite In favor OF a separate organization IN
the east and Will join the others In such
a move. This matter assumed definite
shape last week when meeting of rep
resentatives from New York. Philadelphia,
Newark, Buffalo and Brooklyn was held IN
the last named city to start plans for the
formation of an eastern organization. Inc
idea is that 1t is not to be antagonistic to
any existing association. but TO look out
mainly for the interest of the bowiers or
the alleys from this section of the country.
All the cities of the east are invited TO
have three representatives present at
meeting to be held in Brooklyn April 10,
when the organization will be perfected.
Washington will probably be represented
as naturally the feelings of the local men
are with the fasteners. This city worked
especially hard to obtain the convention for
Philadelphia, but it's efforts were OF little
benefit against the combined stand OF the
western delegates.
The bowling congresses OF the past few
years have been far from harmony meet
ings, and 1t was not surprising when the
difficulty arose at this one. At the start ii
locked IL trouble were brewing when
suddenly the expected trouble bobbed up

team, while Carrick is substitute of the reg
ulars.
At the opening OF the season of 1905 ana
1906 Capt Edwards entered his team In
the Capital City League and before half of
the scheduled games were played the Cor.
corans had defeated every team in the
league and were leading the league by g.
good margin At this time II was charged
that several of the Corcoran players were
professionals, but In only one instance was
the charge proven-in the case of William
Handiboe, who has for many years played
a star game for the Corcorans. His loss to-
the team was big handicap. Capt. Ed
wards then withdrew his team from the
league and played independently with teams
of Baltimore. New Jersey. Pennsylvania.
and New York. and won a majority or
them.

b. C. Whitney's elsie Of Spice,'
which will appear at this theatre in
the near future. The elsie Of Spicc'
was one of the few big musical sue
cesses Of last season, and if ever a
theatrical attraction may lay claim
to the often misuscd title of "metro-
politan success" the elsie of Spice'
may, for within the past two years it
has played $50 nights each in Chica-

has but recently closed its long run at
the Majestic Theatre, New York City,

identical company, scenery, electrical
aud mechanical effects that have had
so much to do with it's popularity.
The book cf the elsie of Spice' is
by Allen Lowe and Geo. f. Stoddard,
the music being by Paul SCHNEIDER and
