John Baum, anchorman on the cham

the Palace alleys last night in the duck
pin tournament competition. Before he
was through he had taken the leader
ship in the class A singles, with the great
total Of 3S2 for his set; had carried his
partner, Michaud, to the front in the
doubles, Baum contributing 368 to the 655
total. and had annexed Lie nine-game
total In the all-events classification. which
is a record for the tourney. His work
last night virtually gives him undisputed
title to two diamond-studded gold med
als-one for the largest total in the all

these marks to be beaten, the probable
ties are small. as the totals are abnor-

TELLER AND GALLAGHER
| ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE
But Georgetown Team Will
Not Be Strong in Meet
in Baltimore.

The report circulated that neither Capt.
Eller nor Johnnie Gallagher would be
able to represent Georgetown at the South
Atlantic intercollegiate meet to be held
at Baltimore Friday and Saturday is
untrue. According to Capt. Filler, he has
received no notification that he has been
suspended by the Amateur Athletic Asso-
citation, and he will be eligible to partici-
pate i'm this big meet. Gallagher like
wise. is also eligible to represent his
school in this meet, but it is understood
that he will not be able to go over to
Baltimore. His matter was settled a long
time ago with the A. A. u. and he Is
eligible to represent his school In any OF
the meets.
1t is expected that the Blue and Gray
team will not do quite as we'll In this
meet as 1t will in the meets to fol-
low late in May. 1t has not been in
training at all, and for this reason will
be more or less handicapped. Capt. Eller
stated that he is by no means in the best
OF shape.
One thing certain is that If the Blue
and Gray authorities intend to enter all
of the big meets they have planned upon
doing they must begin active training at
once. There does not seem to be any
special reason why the men cannot get
out, and it seems that the authorities
should insist upon their doing SO. There
is no denying the fact that Georgetown
has several men who are capable of up
holding their end in any meet they en-
ter. providing they are in perfect cOndi-
ton. II the track team intends making
the trip to Cambridge, Mass. to par
t.cipate in the intercollegiate meet. 1t
must begin work at once.
1t is expected that Manager Davis will
take the following men to Baltimore to-
morrow: Capt. Eller. Weirdman. Lowe.

FEED CHICKENS IN SUMMER
There Arc Few Farm Flocks That VIII

The very common opinion that

focks that will not improve In egg
yield II given at least one feed daily

termine whether more feed is needed
Something depends on the size Of the
flock and the range, but the egg yield
will tell. There Is only one probable
explanation for a farm hens failure
to lay egs r. summer, and that is
lack of feed. Occasionally 1t Is due to
lack of the right kind of feed, but
generally If the hens have one feed
daily of any grain they will give good
results.
Wheat, barley and oats are the
practical summer grains, but II little
care is used and some meat, corn is
very good. Whatever grain is used II
is genuine economy to give the hens
access to dry bran. An open shallow
box will do If you haven't time to make

FEW CAUSES FOR INFECTIONS
Losses From Hog Diseases Arises
From Dreaded Cholera.

One cause of infection In hogs Is i'm
proper feeding. which includes unbal-
anced rations, overlooking. underfeed-
ing, irritating food (such as garbage,
soured slops, etc., insanitary feed
troughs and impure drinking water.
Also may be mentioned insufficient
housing, especially during the heat
of summer and the cold of winter,
dampness, insanitary condition of the
pens or houses, overcrowding of
sleeping quarters, etc.
1t has been estimated that So per
cent. of all losses from hog diseases
arise from cholera. The need of all
precautions against infection and
spread Is therefore apparent. II Is
within the power of all hog raisers
to guard against the contributory
cause enumerated above; and the
simple statement of the causes also
points the way for prevention

West Boylston Grange No. LOG OF

Driblin Grange No. 1909 in Can
Acid, O., reports a years gain of 100
per cent A year ago 1t had 81 mem
bers, which were exactly doubled
within the year.
The Pend Oreille Grange of Wash
ington had 81 charter members when
1t was organized February %, 1919.
One year from that date 1t had 50
members, equivalent to a years gain
of lat per cent.
Bridgewater Grange No. 201 of Mas
sachusetts offered its record in the
contest in the delightful belief that
1t would distance all competitors, for
in the one year, from January 1, 1919,
to January 1, 1913, 1t increased It's
membership from 81 to 146, a gain of
1876 per cent.
This was hard to beat, but some one
who could do 1t ultimately appeared.
A record of 100 per cent. gain In
single year was furnished by Worces-
ter Grange No. 1874 of Worcester, N.
Y inasmuch as its membership in
creased from a charter list of IS On
August II, 1912, to a total of 1876 In
Just six months time.
Next came the secretary of Grange
No. 80 at Mendell, Idaho. With u
members on January 1, 1912, it in
a net gain Of 200 per cent In II
months.
Here the issue rested for a while
and 1t was thought by those conduct
ing It that the maximum had been
reached. But then Poplar Grange No.
$50 of California showed up its
record and all the other big ones
were Immediately set aside into the
shade. For in that grange the years
figures showed a total gain of 246 per
cent, the 81 charter members with
which the grange was organized on
January %, 1912, being increased In
IL months to 1873 members.
So far no one has appeared to con-
test with Popular Grange for the hon.
ors and It Is hardly believed that

figures as these are tremendously sig
nificant Of the vigor and vitality of an

Things to Consider.

In selecting a dairy breed II Is not
a matter of which Is the best breed,
but the one best suited for prevailing

adaptability and for the purpose for
which the animal Is kept. Some breeds
are noted for the quantity of milk they
produce; others for the richness of
their milk; others for the color of
cream or butter. All these things
must be taken into consideration be-

CULuNC OUT THE OLD EWES
Good Shepherds Do Not Hesitate to
Get Rid Of Grandmothers Before
They Go Down Hill.

Usually by the time that a eve has
reached the age of seven years she
has spent most of her usefulness as a
breeder and mother. Good shepherds
do not hesitate to Gull out these old
grandmothers before they go down

shortly after weaving time, and can

they keep going down In flesh, waste
much of their food, and frequently

Press, and lacks several pounds of

Lambs from old ewes are never as

Their presence in the flock detracts
from its appearance and value. One
or two old ewes in a flock of prime
breeders will often hurt the sale value
as much as dollar a head. For
these reasons, then, Gull closely and
keep only the best prime breeding
ewes. With the price of mutton and

SUMMER CARE OF THE EGGS
Practice of Holding Product for High

CBy N. E. CHAPMAN, Extension Poultry
Specialist. University Farm. ST. Paul
MIMI
In the summer months, eggs should
receive the same care and considera
ton as sweet milk and cream, and be
marketed daily, If possible. They
should not be exposed to draughts of
warm air, and should be protected
from the rays of the sun and from
moisture, in handling, marketing and
shipping. The common practice OF
holding eggs for higher market price
in autumn results in poor quality and
serious loss Instead Of gain. Under
ordinary farm conditions, eggs should
Is not the only one responsible for the
shrunken eggs on the market. Coun
try merchants have been equally
blamable for the annual loss.
A fresh egg will absorb odors as
readily as fresh milk. Mustiness OF
moldy growth In egg cases or filters
will faint the egg and lower its quail
ity.
Eggs should not be stored in musty
cellars, or In rooms with fruit, vege
tables or fish.
The flock should never be allowed
to drink filthy water, be fed musty
grains or strong-favored vegetables
as onions and garlic, or given access
to decayins meat or substances that
will flavor the product and impair Its
quality.
