Upton IS PLEASED
At PLEA FOR RACE
FOR AMERICAS CUP
Will Challenge If Allowed to
Race Under Rules of New
York Yacht Club.

LONDON, Oct. Sir Thomas Upton,
interviewed regarding reports cabled
from America that many yacht clubs In
the United States favored changing the
cup conditions in order that inter-
national races can be conducted accord
ing TO the universal rules, said:
Il felt sure that when Americans
knew the facts they would put things
straight 1t is no fault of mine that
there has been no challenge from his
side. I see from cables that Commodore
Massie, of Rhode Island. and other I'M
portant yachtsmen want the New York
Yacht Club to use the golden BRIDGE
which provides for conditions to be ar
ranged by mutual consent. 1 never
could believe that American sportsmen
wanted to keep the cup on a mere tech
nicality. / am more than pleased to see
that the yacht club members are of
the same opinion.
"All 1 ask is to race under the New
York Yacht Clubs own rules. As have
said before, what is good for them is
good enough for me. The minute hear
that the New York club Is willing to
meet me under those conditions | will
challenge once more in the hope of win
ming the cup.
Every yachtsman in America knows
there is nothing that would stimulate
the sport so much as another interna-
tional race. Even IL the race were un-
der universal rule ! could not say that I
had been given an equal chance. Under
the old condition there Is no question
of equal chances. 1t is simply a matter
of building freak boats that are OF no
use after the race and only fit for the
scrap heap. ] have alW avs found Amer
icans hard to beat and ever generous.

give me a fair show. That is all ask

LAUREL, Md, Oct. 2-The new rae
ing venture at Laurel starts It's thirty
day meeting this afternoon with an
excellent program of six races. the
Maryland State Fair Handicap calling
for $500 added. being the feature.
Unfortunately, these events will have
to be run off over a slow track render
ed doubly slow by the rainfall of last
night. This circumstance will, un-
doubtedly, cause many scratches, and
will give the handicappers a puzzlfng
task to locate the winners.
Spectators, indeed, will be treading
on dangerous ground all through the
meeting, and at times discretion will be
the better part of valor. The new
track must necessarily be slow. and
the horses with a known fondness for
heavy going are the ones to be con-
sidered.
The first race this afternoon has six
entries, but there may be scratches
which will eliminate some Of the likely
candidates.

any one of the bunch can win.

The fourth race is the big s., 800 handi-
cap with a splendid list of entries, TAX
ing in some of the best horses now in
training. Two thousand five hundred
dollar purses are very scarce nova
days, and, naturally. owners will strain
point to get a shot at this one.
Some of the owners, however, with
valuable stake horses may not deem
1T advisable to take a chance over
bad track, and scratches are liable
to cut the list of starters down.
The race is exceedingly open, as all
handlcaps should be. and it looks
something like taking a shot at the

PROPER HEAT FOR CHICKENS
Is Action Of Little Fellows
Breeders Vary.
(By W. H. KELLY

The warmest part of the brooder
should be in the center rather than
ut the side or corner. If the heat
comes from above and considerable
portion of the brooder be heated to
the same temperature, no crowding
will take place.
The temperature given for running
breeders vary with the machine and
the position of the thermometer. The
one reliable guide for temperature is
the action of the chicks.
If they are cold they will crowd
toward the source of heat; if too
warm they will wander uneasily
about; but if the temperature is right,
each chick will sleep stretched out
on the floor.
The cold chicken does not sleep at
all, but puts in it's time fighting its
way toward the source of heat.
In an improperly constructed or
improperly run brooder the chicks go
through varying process Of chilling,
sweating and struggling when they
should be sleeping, and the result is
puny chicks that dwindle and die.
The arrangement of the brooder
for the sleeping accommodations of
the chicks Ia important. but this Is
not the only thing to be considered in
brooder.
The brooder used in the early sea-
son and especially the outdoor brood
err, must have ample space provided
for the day time accommodation Of
the chick.
This part of the brooder must be
we'll lighted and somewhat cooler
than the hover. AS soon as condi-
tions will permit get the chickens out
on larger floor, or, better still, on
the ground.
Keep the chicks scratching in day
light and sleeping stretched out at
night, and the most difficult problem
of poultry-raising has been solved.

The fellow who fails in the poultry

Hens will be much healthier if they

Keep all of the best pullets and as

of the poorer mixed hens.
DO not try to stimulate the hens to
lay more eggs by feeding pepper or
other hot stuff. 1t is bad business.
In localities where the are no live
worms or bugs for the hens these days
they must have as a substitute some
animal food.
Incubators can be set without much

raise them.
