tyYAsHIN0TON.-Ch Chief Justice white
w Of the United States Supreme
court has appointed q commit
tee to revise the rules Of equity prac-
tice in the United States courts. The
committee IL composed Of himself, Jus
tices Lurton and Van Deventer, the
only members Of the Supreme court
who have had experience on the bench
Of the United States circuit court, Jus
tice Lurton since 1893 and Justice Van
Deventer since 1908.
This move is the initial step in .
great reform in federal court pro-
cedurs, which has long eeen advocated
BY Justice White. Who has often criti-
cised the antiquated practice on the
chancery side Of these courts.
The present rules were promulgated
in 1912. They are adapted in their en-
trety from the ancient rules Of the
high court 0f chancery Of England,
and are cumbersome and complicated
In tho highest degree, lending them
selves to delays and embarrassing lti.
cation rather than expediting causes.

ON AVERAGE FARM
Makes No Great Demands on Strength
and Any Person Of Intelligence
May Make Success.

In this country poultry includes
chickens. turkeys, geese, ducks, gut
e fowls, pigeons and occasionally
pea fowls, pheasants. quail and
swans-chickens, Of course, being the
most important. Something like 1
quarter Of q billion chickens and other
poultry are consumed In the United
States every year. The consumption
Of eggs Is about eighteen dozen per
capita. The last census gave the
value Of chickens raised on American
farms in 1899 as $780, 91. S77-of eggs
~ $144.2S6.15S. Today the American
people consume about half . billion
dollars worth Of poultry and eggs
per annum. Exports are increasing
and one may enter on the raising Of
poultry and eggs with little fear Of
not realizing good prices on all pro-
duce.

tention, knowledge and skill achieve
better results.
Poultry raising makes no great do
mands on strength. and any person
Of intelligence may hope to make .
success of It. But some have made
the mistake Of supposing that the
business can be taken up on a con-
siderable scale without any expert
ence. Hens lay all the way from
none to $50 eggs a year, and it takes
some experience to tell with what
kind Of hens and under what condi-
tons, the upper limit can be reached.
Probably the best course for the
intending poultry raiser would be to
work for a year or more on n Of
the large chicken ranches in order to
learn the important points Of breeds,
feeding, f~attening. housing, b~rooding,
incubating, etc. The raising Of broil-
ers roasters and capons for the market
may be a paying occupation on an
egg farm. II one ecures the right kind
Of stock and gives the work the
proper attention and management. No
kind of poultry IL more profitable
than turkeys.

wool would not only cripple the rev.

The Seekins Fund, S36.

Rev. J. W. Steele begs space in
the Journal for the announcement of
the names of the contributors for the
relief of the Seekins family and he
desires to thank the donors and also
the Journal. whose announcement OF
the needs of the family was the in
strument in bringing in many of the
subscriptions, proving how widely the
paper is read. This is the third fund
that Mr. Steele has raised in HALLOWEEN
during the four years of his passionate,
and he says he has found as ready
responses in Halloween for the suffer
ers as any place he has ever been.
Every penny that came in for the SEE
kins fund was purely q voluntary Of
fering, for Mr.. Steele never solicited.
Mrs. Seekins does not gather
strength very rapidly and the case
is a pitifuI one. If the donors could
have seen the expressions of graft
tuGe in the countenance of the in
jured woman and her husband when
the amount of the fund was made
known to them at the hospital, Thurs
day, they would have felt fully repaid
for their generous gifts.
After consultation with Mrs Hay

American Tennis
Players to Win.

New York, Dec. 21.--Australian lawn
tennis players regard the victory of
the American cup challengers as a
certainty, according to news received,
yesterday. in a cablegram from Christ
church, New Zealand, by American
Lawn Tennis the official publicat ton of
the sport in this country. According to
the message Beals c. Wright, the for
mer national champion, has rounded
into phenomenal form. William A.
Larned and Maurice f. Mclaughlin,
have not come into their full playing
stride as quickly as has Wright. Still
it is believed that barring accident
the trio is certain to list the Davis
cup. The first series of singles will be
played, Friday, Dec. 80, the doubles
match on the following day and the
final series of singles on Monday,
Jan. /.
Official news also comes ito the sur
face, today, as to national lawn ten
mis- affairs. Lille Il. Mahan, who led the
campaign against the National All
Corners Championship being held at
Newport. is again out with docu-
ment reminding the players of the
game that the matter is to be brought
up at the annual meeting of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association here next February, and
urging that all clubs sending proxies
and delegates to the meeting also
send instructions as to what shall be
voted upon this important question.
An overturn in the list of officers of
the National Association seems also
in prospect. Dr. James Dwight, for
many years the president. has refused
to reconsider his determination to re-
tire and A. L. Hoskfns, for several
years the secretary, has expressed a
like determination. William A.
