NAVY PROSPECTS GOOD.
Captain Northcroft Nay Be Shifted

capable OF filing DouFIass's shoes. Owing to the
large number of heavy lnesmen. II is believed that
Captain Northcroft will be tried at full back and
that Robinson will play his tackle. This change
would give the back field the necessary amount OF
weight, and Northcroft is just the type of plung-
ing back that the navy needs this year.

AMERICAN LEAGUE STAND

Detroit beat the Philadelphia nine again yester-
day and snatched back the lead for the American
League pennant from Cleveland. as that team did
not play. But Jennings's men are only point
ahead of the pIueky Cleveland nine. and right at
the heels of both are the Chicago White Sox. cham
pions Of the world in 1906. In both leagues now
the lead is held by a single point, as the double
header divided by Cincinnati with St Louis yes
terday had no effect the fight for the pennant
IN the older organization.
The Yankees scheduled 70 play st Louis
but rain kept them apart and double header will
be played to-day. If the Browns should win both
games as is not unlikely, a slip by the leading
teams will put them right back in the race, and
no man can foresee the end OF the fight.
The Giants will meet Philadelphia at the Polo
Grounds to-day and must win 70 hold the lead
IN fact they must win practically every game left
to be played to win the pennant.

PERTINENT POULTRY POINTERS.

l am very much interested in the
poultry branch of agriculture and have
been for many years. Have not found
out all about it yet, but in nearly thir-
ty years experience and observation
with close study and reading have
learned some things that may be of
value to my fellow-farmers.
There seems to be two sides to the
poultry business. One is the profess
sional side, where it is made science.
where fine birds with fine feathers
and finer pedigrees, leading to fine
prizes at the shows and finest prices
for eggs and stock is the object sought.
The other the practical side, where
supplying the table, and incidentally
the world, with eggs and meat of best
quality, at live-and-let-live prices and
still providing a "nest egg" for days
to come is the object.
am not competent to suggest a
thing to poultry keepers of the former
class, as I am not posted on STRAINS"
pedigrees, points, double mating, line
breeding, etc. do know chicken and
it tastes good to me if young and fat,
no matter what color the feathers
were. Still believe in good stock, as
| shall explain later.
notice some of the highest authori-
ties in the professional class take off
their hats to "the farmers wife with
her sturdy broods." I suspect chen
fruit" would look strange to us if it
was not for her. What are some of
the reasons for her success?
She is a busy woman. Hands are
full of more important concerns and
she neglects her poultry to some ex-
tent She cannot coddle and dose
them much, consequently the weak
lings die off, as they should and by
natural selection she has vigorous,
healthy stock.
They usually have unlimited range
and provide themselves as nature in
tended they should, with the grit,
green stuff and animal food they need.
Often the fowls roost in trees,
where they have fresh air and clean
quarters. Then as they grow the
young cocks try conclusions among
themselves and the strongest, most
vigorous bird takes his place at the
head of the flock, having conquered all
his rivals. Thus she has, by natural
selection again, vigorous bree ding
stock.
Now if you will believe me the prime
essentials to success with poultry are
vigorous breeding stock, c'ean quar-
tiers, ample range and reasonable
amount of wholesome food and pure
water.
My own plan has always been to Sc
lect some good sound hens of any
breed or none. Get good cock of
the breed prefer CASUALLY by buying
a setting from some Of the profession
al brethren and raising him. Kill all
the stock that do not come up to my
standard, saving only my best early
pullets and always keeping a pure
bred cock. In a surprisingly short
time have fine flock of we'll formed
and marked birds that consider bet
ter for practical purposes than the
general run of pure-bred stock. These
