CLUBS OF LONDON
Aristocratic Resorts on Piocadl-
Iy Street Are Passing.
Grounds Upon Which They Are situ-
ated Are Now Too Valuable for
Purpose-Old Organizations Seek
Inc New Locations.

London.-The most famous street
of clubs in the world is likely before
long to lose its character. The utili-
neutrality-suspicious. described as
Americanism-which introduced ice
and electric subways into London's
daily life, has decreed that Piccadilly
shall no longer be sacrosanct to clubs.
They will have to look for other quar-
tiers. =
In the very heart of clubland large
hotel will shortly be built. Negotia-
tons are in progress to acquire other
sites in Piccadilly for similar pur-
poses. Theatrical managers, even pic
ture show proprietors, are casting en-
vious eyes upon stately houses. when
in the old days the three bottle" men
were bundled decorously into horse
cabs and sent on their drunken way
rejoicing. The leases under which
the older clubs secured their prem
ises are expiring-most of them are,
according to English custom, for nine
ty-nine years.
The majority of the Piccadilly clubs
only pay a mere song for their homes.
In some cases the original owner OF
the property was a member OF the
club and leased the land or building
for a "peppercorn." or nominal sum,
to his own organization. Such de-
scendants of these generous folk as
Sir Richard Sutton, who owns good
deal of the land, look at the matter
| in a different light. The value OF Pic
cadilly sites is about $50 per square
foot BY evicting club the owner

ally ACQUIRES a small fortune, either
| by building himself or renting to
some enterprising hotel. store or the
ater.
The subordination of the picturesque
to the utilitarian in Piccadilly Will
probably be complete within the next
ten years. The trend of business and
of traffic In London today is toward
the West End. Centers half way be-
tween west and east, which formerly
surged nightly with crowds, are now
deserted. At the moment the Ritz

Wellington was stormed by a furious
mob. The wedge has been driven In,
and the scaffolding, which announces
the erection of the new hotel, sounds
the death knell of Piccadilly as the
worlds greatest street of clubs.
The older clubs will be hard put to
find new quarters commensurate with
their dignity. Instead of looking out
upon a really magnificent park-the
section Of Piccadilly refer to is and
can be only built on one side Of the
street-they will have to retreat to
quieter streets, where the outlook only
Is likely to be other peoples windows.
Even here they will find it hard to
pay the necessary rent. There Is
some talk of turning Dorchester
House, rented by Whitelaw Reid. and
the Stafford and Spencer houses into
clubs, bat this would probably prove
too expensive. Since the advent OF
the fashionable hotel restaurant the
popularity of club life has steadily de-
clined. With a few notable excep
tons, the average London club Is In
rather low water financially. The old
days of waiting ten years or more
for election have departed. Two OF
three old clubs have broken up and
others have amalgamated.

idea illustrated Herewith Well Worth
Studying Out Where Many Hogs
Are Raised.

The combination corn crib and
feeding floor herewith illustrated is
an idea well worth studying. II the
reader raises any great number of
hogs. The idea first was to build a
corn crib that was as near rat and
mice proof as possible. and while 1t is
impossible for rats or mice to enter
this crib it must be remembered that
one often allows them to get into a
crib through carelessness. says the
Iowa Homestead. For instance, a
board is left leaning against the crib,
the mice may be shoveled In with
the corn, ETC., but mice and rats must
have water, and the few that enter
cribs in this manner will soon leave.
This crib is thirty-six feet wide, with
twelve-foot driveway, and IL forty
eight feet long. The walls are twenty
feet to the caves. and the crib Is
filled with a corn elevator. The crib
has a cubic capacity of about thirty

(By KATHERINE ATHERTON

There is no part of farming more
fascinating to the average boy than
the care OF poultry. At the same
time, there is no branch that offers
him better chance of success. Even
very small boy can manage a small
flock of chickens successfully.
1t does not cost much to get start
ed-another item in favor of the poul-
try business. The equipment need
not cost much, and. in fact, most OF
the needed coops and fixtures can be
built by almost any ambitious boy
The most important consideration
is. of course. the breed to be kept.
in an article so brief as this it is
impossible to compare the different
kinds of fowls, more than to say that
they are divided into two principal
groups. those kept for eggs, and those
kept for broilers or other sale stock.
1t all depends upon the market which
will pay the best The layers are sell
dom as good for raising frying and
boiling chicks as some larger breeds.
as they usually weigh less at the same
age, though maturing even more
quickly In the matter of egg produc-
ing.
1t is safe enough, then, to keep any
breed that you like, so long as your
fowls are from good strains, and full
blooded. Nearly every one has some
preference, either Of size, color. or
other qualities. and there are none
of the standard breeds but what have
much to recommend them. So If you
wish to keep Brown Leghorns. or Bun
Orpingtons, or Black Minorcas, you
will be perfectly safe in doing so. no
matter what some one else may say
in favor of other breeds. But when
once you have adopted a particular
kind, stick to it. Do not change, at
least until you have given it sew
eral years trial. Usually the fault.
if there is any, is in care or handling,
not in the fowls themselves.
When you are selecting your fowls
insist on having nothing but good
young birds.
If you buy in the fall. try to gel
