WINTER FEED FOR FOWLS.

An ample as we'll as varied supply
Of green feed to hens during the win
ter is important for the health Of the
fowls. Its value does not lie in the
amount Of nutriment it contains. but
as an agent in digestion. Fowls eat
more when fed green food than other.
wise. Vegetables induce increased eat
ing, hence increased egg production.
Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls. and they should
be fed at regular intervals. Mangels
are easy to raise and keep well. Cab
bage is good food; the hens like it.
and it does not flavor the egg. Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for
fowls when grown right. stored and
cooked. Rape is an excellent green
food to plant in the runs. Potatoes
are good only when boiled. AS Il rule.
they are too expensive to feed to pOul

tuce, are excellent for chicks. Silage
may be used, provided that only a
small quantity is fed at first until the
hens become thoroughly accustomed

PROTECTING GLASS.
Method Of Guarding Store Windows
From Shock Of Blasting.


In eXcavating for the new subway
running up Lexington avenue, New
York, a large quantity of rock has had
to be blasted. says the Scientific Amer
lean. The shock of the dynamite ex-
plOsions has worked havoc with plate
glass store windows along the line.
and the contractors have found it nee
cessary to re-enfOrce the windows.
This has been done in very effec-
tive way by the use Of wooden sup
ports on each side of the glass, which
serve as Spreaders for wires that run
across the glass to opposite sides Of
the window frame. The sDreaderS
consist of wooden crosses with 4 short
mast or pin projecting from the juno
ton of the cross. To provide good
bearing on the glass each arm of the
cross is Shod with strip Of rubber.
Usually four of the wooden crosses are
used on Il window. but the humber
and position depend upon the size of
the pane. When the wires are stretch
ed across. both inside and outside Of
the window, they convert the window
pane into Il truss which is greatly
strengthened against the explosion
waves. ..-.. .....

WORST IS OVER
 IN THE STATES
Business of "This Favored Country'' Is Fast Fighting
 Itself, Says Dun's.

New York, Aug. S,-Duns review today says:
 Business is with remarkable re- sstance adapting itself to unprece- dented conditions Never has this country given more convincing proof of it's ability to meet grave emerg- encies promptly and effectively. Al ready conspicuous progress has been made in the work of preventing dem- Cralization in the markets and pre- serving order and sanity in all branches of trade.
 "So far as this favored country is concerned the worst of the financial stress is over and the markets gradu- ally are getting into a position where material advantage may be derived from the disturbances. The interrup- tion to export trade due to the situa- tion in foreign exchange and the withdrawal of ocean shipping facil- ities is now the chief cause of trou- ble, export freights beginning to pile up at shipping ceAters, but concerted measures are being taken to relieve this condition sfar as practicable"

LONDON LIKES NOT /. OUR WHITE HOPES All American White Hopes Will Be Dumped on Shores :.
 of Old World. STATES LONDON PAPER Also Reiterates That Americans Are Getting Tired of Seeing Big, Cum. sy, CumbrOus Men Tumbling
 About in the Ring.
STATES LONDON PAPER

London, Aug. S.-The following in- terestlng account of the American white hope' situation appears in an English newspaper today:
 Tt will not be long before all the American, white hopes of the post Jeffrles period have been dumped on the shores of the Old World. They are now regarded as surplus products Tn their own country; Americans are beginning to discover that the whole horde does not include a second, or even secondary, Jeffries, and are no longer willing to provide big purses to see clumsy, cumbrous big men tumb- ling about a ring and illustrating ev- cry point of bad boxing
 Their countrymen think there may be money for them in London and Paris and that is why the arena is congested with them at introduction time whenever big fight takes place the selection on view at the Gun- boat Smith hCarpentier meeting was characteristic of the whole brood of abnormally constructed American heavy weights. They are the mega l0saurs of the modern prize-ring.
 Carl Morris, who is it, in. in height and weighs more than Jeffries ever did, is on his way to join the Welsh camp" He was at one time regarded as the most formidable of the American white hopes, but he proved to be too slow and clumsy for the game, and first Al Palzer and then Gunboat Smith took his place in American estimation as the most hope full of them all. He is not the biggest of them now: Willard must be an inch or so taller and a stone or two heav- fer. These giants have never been very successful in the ring: their pon- derCus blows are too slowly conceiv- ed and executed, they lack the fight ing spirit, and their great stature is disadvantage rather than an advan- tage when they meet a quick-footed boxer of compact physique. Gun boat Smiths failure to find defense against Carpenters infghting illus trated this point admirably.
 They have in point of fact, mistak- en their profession; they might have done well as Weight-putters or ham, mer-throwers, provided, of course, they could have acquired sufficient control over their vast bodies to pick up the science of athletic feats of strength. Ruhlin, the biggest pugil- ist of the preceding period, who real ly knew something about boxing, was easily beaten by Jeffries and was not in the same class as ,Corbett or Fitz- simmons or even Sharkey who was, next to Jeffries, the finest natural fighter ever seen in the American ring If Wells really wished to ac- quire the physical endurance he lacks, he would take on succession of these gigantic persons, most of whom have some idea of using their massive strength in the clinches.

PINE bLUFFIANS TO
 SEE CUE ARTISTS
A New Era in the Ivory Ball Game Has Been In
 augurated.

Pine Bluff is One of the few cities in Arkansas that has been granted a franchise in the Champion Billiard Players league. The league was recently organized. All the eXhibi- tiols in this city will be given at the Whiteway billiard hall on West Sec ond avenue.
 The first match is to be played about the first week in October and other matches will follow at inter vals of several weeks until all of the champions have played contests i1 this city.
 Nine of the most famous players of the world have been banded together under the management of Burton Mank for an extended tour of this country The primary object of the league is the general advancement of the game and to furnish champion ship matches by the real champions to the smaller cities, that is, cities other than Kew York, Philadelphia, :, Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and Pitts burg.
 The remarkable feature of the league is the fact that every mem Der has at one time been Worlds champion with the exception of Jake Schaefer who at this time is dis playing such form as to indicate hat before he arrives at the age of twen- ty-one he will have shared the hon. ors of having been Worlds cham pion.
 The members of the league are Willie Hoppe. Calvin Demarest, Koii Yanada, George Slosson, Ora Morn ingstar, George Sutton, Harry Cline, Albert Cutler, and Jake Schaefer.
 They will travel in teams and play exhibitions in 150 cities. All of the champions will appear in those cities that are accepted for the league dur ing the season, which is seven months. commencing October 1, and until April 30. The teams will appear about six weeks apart.

As l stood by him in his garden l noticed the num- Der of persons who greeted him as they passed Lot of friends you have round here," I said. Lot of people want my roller" he replied.

How to Carry a Suitcase.

Travellers will be interested to learn how to carry suitcase or valise 8 long distance without becoming fa- tigued. A French savant, reasoning that the tired feeling is induced by the fact that the action of carrying such an object flinders the movement of the legs, makes suggestion that is said to work like a charm. The Frenchman's way to prevent the in- convenience is to put under the arm bulky packet made of dozen news papers folded. The handbag, in this way, is far removed from the legs, al- lowing walking without hiudrance.

 The greatest astronomers, like Sir William Herschel, have made their most valuable discoveries by compara- lively low-power telescopes.
