Green Food Important.
The Importance of green food for
poultry, either young or old, cannot
be overestimated. On farms where
the fowls have free range they do not
lack for green food during the late
spring, summer and early fall. In
the winter this green food must be
supplied by the poultryman. In the
absence of a supply of roots and
vegetables, sprouted oats may be
used with splendid results. The egg
production of farm fioclxs given a
supply of sprouted oats daily during
the winter win increase several per
cent, and the flock will start the
spring breeding season in much bet
ter condition than IL green food Is
not included in the ration.

Game.
LEHRHOFF ON THE JOB

Central High advanced another peg
yesterday in scholastic athletic circles
by being the first Of the local schools
to ever defeat Barringer High on its
own court. In Newark High School
Athletic Association basketball game
the Centrafites showed under their
rivals by score Of 43 to il. The vic
tory puts the Central team in line for
the N. H. S. A. a championship, as
the games on the Barringer court are
regarded by the local schools as per-
haps the hardest ones on their sched-
ules.
Barringer was handicapped some
what by the absence of Captain
Charles Warshawsky, a forward.
However, It is doubtful whether the
presence OF the Barringer leader
would have made any difference in
the final result, as Central was Bar
ringers master throughout the game
The game itself was far removed
from the spirited battles that have
been seen in other years on the Bar
ringer court. Almost at the very out
set Central took the lead, and was
never headed, the contest developing
into a listless affair, except for an
occasional squirt Barringer seemed
TO be unable to locate the basket con-
sistently. Shots of an easy nature
were repeatedly missed.
For the winners il may be said that
they passed all around Barringer, in
addition to which they guarded so
closely that even had the Barringer
| forwards been accurate it would have
been difficult to elude the Central
backs.
Lehrhoff gathered fourteen points
on penalty throws, a department in
/ which Barringer failed completely.
4 Halstead shot five out of twenty-one
chances. Leftkowitz and Kruger,
the Central forwards. garnered five
and four field goals, respectively. The
tline-up and summary:

EBBETS DONE WITH
GETz AND SWAC|NA
Will Not Stand for HOld-Ups by
Newark Players Because
of Feds.
SMITH VISITS TAYLOR

President Charles H. Ebbets, jr, of
the Newark Club, announced today
that he is through dealing, with Harry
Swacina, first baseman, and Gus Getz,
| second baseman, of the Tigers. These
two players, who have been most per-
sistent hold-outs, have used the Fed
eral League as a club to obtain big
salaries from the local club. Ebbets
declares that he has been through
two wars, the battle in the Brother
hood days. and the one which occurred
| during the American League invasion.
They can't expect to bluff us any
| more" said Ebbets. I'VE are not
| newcomers in baseball. Furthermore,
] wish to state that it was neither
! Getz nor Swacina who made the New
| ark Club last season. l can get a
pair of infielders to take their places
within "a couple. of days"
Getz has asked for a contract that
is anything but modest, according to
reliable authorities. The Bengal in
fielder wants figure on his contract
that would make Ty Cobb blush, and
the terms he asks for are three years.
Swacina also wants a big increase,
and his manner of making the de-
mand has aroused the ire of the New
ark management.
The $4,000 a month salary limit for
Glass AA leagues is still in effect.
Jack Dunn, of the Baltimore Club, is
the only manager outside of Harry
Smith who has succeeded in signing
majority of his players. Rochester
scrlbes accuse Dunn of exceeding the
salary limit.
Mr.. Ebbets's stand in refusing to
accede to the demands made by these
two players is one which any business
man would take If pressed in a SIM
liar manner. 1t is simply a case of the
old Yankee spirit in the days of the
war with Tripoli, when the famous
slogan, Millions for defense but not
cent for tribute" was sprung.
Smith in Gainesville.
Harry Smith, manager of the New
ark champions, left yesterday on an
other still hunt in rounding up his ball
players. Smith went to Washington
and got Wyatt Lees signature and
then headed for Gainesville, Md,
where he hopes to sign Bayard Taylor,
an infielder, turned over to the New
ark Club by Brooklyn two months
ago, Taylor played with Oshkosh last
season and made a reputation as a
shortstop. A contract was sent to him
by the Newark Club, but it was re-
turned. The Newark management had
a hard time in locating Taylor, but
finally ferreted out his whereabouts
in Gainesville, Md. Gainesville is a
suburb of Baltimore, and as Balti-
moreans are particularly strong for
local talent. Taylor was much in de-
mand as a Federal League attraction
for Otto Knabe's Monumental City
team.
Taylor will probably be used as
utility infielder next season, though
he shapes up exceptionally well at
shortstop and may give Bert Tooley
run for the job between second and
third base. Nothing has been heard
of Tooley, but it is expected that Bert
will come through with his contract
in due time. Tooley was the last
player to sign last season, and his de-
lay is not causing much worriment
among local fans-at least not just
vet.

AFTER CAPE MAY CUP

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.--Robert E.

May cup and is having yacht built
at the Herreshoa shops, at Bristol,
r. l., for the race, it was announced
here last night. Wilson Marshall's
three-masted schooner Atlantic won
this cup the last time. Tod holds the
Breton Reef cup, having won it from
Marshall in 1911, and yachtsmen here
expect Marshall to challenge for it,
in which event Tod probably will de-
fend 1t with his new vessel, which
will be launched in April and named
the Katoura.

Gossip for the Poultry Fanciers

The Barred Plymouth Rock today
is, without doubt, the representative
breed of the L. S. A. Originally de-
veloped from the old Dominique.
crossed, we believe, on the Black
Java, the Barred Rocks have been
improved to a wonderful extent dur
ing the last few years, and at the
various large shows splendid speci-
mems have been on exhibition. 1t is
safe to say that no more popular
fowl exists today than the Barred
Rock. And to breed them to the
highest degree of perfection is a
mans Job, and requires patience,
perseverance and a large amount of
thinking. 1t is an art to mate Barred
Rocks SO as to produce prize winning
birds. The double-mating system
has to be resorted to get cockerels
and pullets of about the same even
shade in color.
Magnitude of Production.
In the census report of 1910 we find
that the total number of farms re-
porting poultry was 5,5S5,032, or S7.S
per cent of all farms in continental
limited States. Only 6,507 of the
farms reporting poultry failed to re-
port chickns. Turkeys were reported
from 81, 1913 farms, or 1871 per cent;
ducks from sos 704, or 7.9 per cent;
geese from 1884. or 10.4 per cent. /;
guinea fowls from 33e.53s, or SO per
cent.
Cap0ns and Caponizing.
The practise of caponizing seems to
have been familiar to the Chinese
more than 1000 years ago, and in
later times the Greeks and Romans
and the inhabitants of Middle and
Southern Europe also practised the
art. At the present day the caponiz-
ing of surplus cockerels is being much
resorted to in France, England and
the United States, etc. Owing to the
altered condition of the bird, a capon
grows to great size. is very quiet and
gentle in his demeanor and retains
the exquisite quality of flesh of a
young bird. To caponize a cockerel
is not difficult. A good set of instru-
hnents, to be had from poultry sup
ply dealers, with book of instructions,
will soon put the farmer wise" as
to the know how"

Breeding Birds.
Now is the time to mate up the
breeding pens for the season Of 1914.
The fancier gives much time and
thought to the selection of males and
females that will be liable to produce
some class youngsters for next year S
poultry shows. No matter whether
cockerels are mated to hens or cocks
to pullets (both of which are recog-
nized among the fraternity as
stronger than male and female of
equal age), 1t is OF the utmost i'm
portance that both sexes are OF
