sPR0UT OATS FOR CHICKENS
Homemade Arrangement Will Prove
Satisfactory Feed in Small
Squares, Preferably at Noon.

You can buy readymade oat sprout-
ers from several makers, but home
made affair will serve the same pur-
pose. For a moderate-sized flock
have made a stand for three trays.
Have four uprights, corners, of 1x2-
inch stuff So inches high. Board up
back, sides and top. Have well-ftting
door for front. On inside of corner
posts nail 1x2-inch pieces from front
to back, for trays to rest on. Put low
est % to "a inches from bottom, the
second ten inches above, the third
eight inches above, and allow six
inches for top tray. Make trays of
three-fourths to one-inch boards, with
sides three inches high, or perforated,
galvanized iron for the bottoms. Use
low, broad-bowled meal oil lamp on
floor to heat. Temperature should be
SIS to 80 degrees. Fill trays with oats
that have been we'll soaked in warm
water "a hours, up to level of sides.
Keep well moistened with warm wa
ter. They should sprout in "a hours
By filling trays three days apart at
first, this will allow for transferring
from top to bottom as sprouts grow.
The sprouts should be four to six
inches high to get best results. Cut
out oats and sprouts in blocks of two
to three inches square and feed prefer
ably at the noon feed.

VALUABLE POULTRY FEED
Some Fowls Become Fat on Almost
Any Kind Of Food, While Others
Will Not Fatten on Corn.

Corn is valuable poultry food, and
it is in it's abuse and not it's use that it
is to be condemned. Some fowls be-
come fat on almost any kind of food,
while others will not fatten even on
corn. There seems to be a good bit of
humanlike nature about the makeup of
the hen. If'hens are made to exercise
for their grain, and are in a good lay
ing condition, there is not much dan
ger of their becoming overfat. In
fact, it is rather a difficult matter to
overfatten laying hens. 1t is when
they are slack in laying and become
lazy that the fat seems to start 20
grow. When hens become too fat
they should be placed in a separate
yard where there is no male bird, as
the attention of male to an overfat
hen is apt to hasten death. If such
hens are given only an evening feed
of wheat and nothing during the day
except green food and water they will
soon lose considerable of their sur
plus fat.

FRANCIS 0UIMET is ToUcHY
Refuses to Accept Prize Based on
Professional Classification by
Metacomet Golf Club.

That Francis Ouimet is deservedly
touchy about his amateur status is
shown by his attitude toward prize
he won at the Observation-Disclosures
competition at the Metacomet Golf
club recently.
On account Of his high rank as a
player, it was decided to class him as
a professional, since, if ne had been
paired as an amateur with a profess
sional, other pairs would have stood a
poor show of landing first prize.
Ouimet and his partner won second
place, which carried with it a prize
of $40 for the second best pro.
The club officials decided to give
Ouimet a prize equivalent to the $40
rather than one of the prizes for anna
teurs. Thereupon Ouimet notified the
club that he preferred not to accept

Bridges Should Be Painted.

Recent investigations of the Illinois
state highway department indicate
that few highway steel bridges in that
state are painted after their final COM
pletion and acceptance. Very serious
corrosion results and is illustrated in
number of cases, says the En-
gineering Record A serious factor
in the corrosion of iron and steel is
the use of salt to clear the roadway of
snow and ice. This was considered
at least partly responsible for the bad
condition of truss members in
bridge fifteen years old.

SECRECY OF VARIOUS RULES
Presidents Of Major Leagues Should
Make interpretations Of Rulings
Known to the Fans.

There is one reform which the presi-
dents of the major leagues should
bring about This is letting all of the
fans know their interpretations of va
rious rules. After this reform the
league presidents should go step far
ther. They should make their inter-
pretations uniform. The trouble is
and always has been that the rulings
of the presidents are kept almost
state secret. They are given to the
umpires and sent to the club manag-
erS. AS a rule, the latter consider the
cial benefit, so that even the players
of the major leagues do not always get
wise to them until the play actually
comes up. AS for the minor leagues,
the collegians, the semi-pros,. and the
amateurs, they are kept entirely in
the dark. An instance in point came
up this season, says writer in Phila-
delphia Telegraph. Recently Tommy
keenan,, who is umpiring in the East
ern association, sent letter to the
writer telling of play which came
up in his circuit. There was runner
on first base. No one was out. The
batsman made three bases on a drive
The umpires called both men out
the base runner for not touching sec.
Ond and the batsman for technically
passing the base runner before he was
declared out. Jim O'Rourke, president
of the Eastern association, who was a
major league player many, many years
ago, decided that the umpire was
right Billy Evans and Jack Sheridan
of the American league staff, to whom
only the base runner should have been
called out. We also submitted the
play to Billy KLEIN of the National
league staff. KLEIN agreed with Evans
and Sheridan. Then KLEIN pulled out
his instructions in which this very
play was given. In the instructions
the umpires are told to call only the
base runner out on such play and to
permit the batsman to make as many
bases as possible on the drive, unless
two men were out before the ball was
hit. In the latter case the batsman
would get only a single. The argu.
ment for this ruling is that the bats
man should not be penaliZed for the
fault of the base runner. Had the in
depreciation of the major league presi
dents on this play been published the
argument could never have come ur
in the Eastern association. There are
wrangles every day on the diamonds
of the big and little teams which could
be avoided if the major league presi
dents would have little foresight
and understand that their rules are
followed by tens OF thousands OF
teams all over the world instead o.
merely by the teams in their own Cir
cults.

ROAD =
Bull DING
GUARD AGAINST ROAD ABUSE
Out to Those Who Deliberately Cut
UP Highways Built for Public.

You bought and paid for the road
that runs by your doorway and the
other roads in your township and
county. That is, you paid your part
in building the highway. If you are
property owner you paid that part
directly in so many dollars and cents
of road and bridge tax. If you are a
renter you are not escaping. You are
paying in rent and indirectly.
The road is your road. If it is cut
up by the hauling of heavy loads on
narrow-tired wagons you will have to
stand for the trouble and discomforts
of next winter, when the ruts are hub
deep. If you permit heavy rains to
scour out the foundations of a wooden
culvert and that culvert finally falls
in or is washed out, you, as one of the
daily users of that road, will be dis.
commOded.
Most of our roads are dirt highways,
writes H. S. Sullivan of Missouri in
Farm Progress. Only small, a very
small, percentage of the highways of
this country are hard roads" One
hundred years from now we may have
the beautiful metal highways such
as are found in the older European
countries, but this is a big land of
ours. 1t is a country of magnificent
distances, and the rock and concrete
roads are going to be built very
slowly.
1t is the dirt highway that suffers
from carelessness. Two or three men
in a neighborhood can spoil more miles
of highway than the remainder of the
community can build. They are abus-
ers of what other men build They
will pile on the heaviest load it is
possible to pull and they never use
the wide-tired vehicles that might help
the wagon track stand up under the
big loads.
Good or bad weather is all the same
10 them if they have something they
want hauled. The sensible man knows
that the use of dirt road for heavy
hauling in bad weather will spoil the
highway. He won't do any team
ing that he can avoid. but the road
butcher will go right ahead He will
spoil his own roads and the roads of
others.
There ought to be some punishment
provided for the man who will delib-
erately cut up the roadway built by the
community for the use of the whole
community and paid for with the pub
lie money. Some states have laws
providing punishment for the man who
overloads, who uses "skidding logs"
WHO fills mudholes full of old rails,
chunks and poles, and who will pile
wheelbarrow full Of rocks in rut,
to become menace to all vehicles as
soon as the road dries off.
But these laws are seldom enforced.
Not from any lack of offenders or from
the lack of knowledge as to just who
the offenders are. Good people are
afraid to complain against such men.
They are found in every neighborhood
and they go along for years in DOM
ineering, overbearing manner, working
all manner of injustices because they
have their bluff in" on the commu-
nifty. They are the gentry whose cat
tie are rogues, whose fences are al
ways bad, whose dogs are 'sheep kill

PENNSYLvANIA'S new GOVERNOR

Martin G. Brumbaugh, the new gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, is one of the
best-known men of that state as an
educator and friend of the schools.
His achievements as county super
intendent, then as the organizer of the
schools in Porto Rico, and in the last
eight years as superintendent OF
schools in Philadelphia, won for him
popularity and the greatest support
candidate for governor has received
in recent years in Pennsylvania.
Doctor Brumbaugh is a rugged,
healthy figue of man, a perfect
product of outdoor life and truly rep
resentative of his German stock. He is
the picture of powerful athlete, erect,
and towering over six feet. He is i'm
lressive of the physical giant, rather
than the intellectual Nothing in his
appearance betokens the lines of
student or recluse. His leonine head,
double-barreled square jaws, and thick
yet well-developed body, recall to mind

Falkenhayn, recently made chief of

Won Moltkes is only sixty-three years
old-rather young as the age of COM
manding officers goes in modern

die of nerves, sometimes agreeable,
sometimes irascible, intuitional, aristo-
cratic and venturesome.
The only active service undertaken
by Falkenhayn previous to the present
war was during the Boxer rebellion,
when he served on the staff of Count
Waldersee. After the Boxer war he
was retained by the Chinese govern
ment to instruct a number of young
officers in the Chinese army
For dozen years or more the
kaiser has been particularly interested
in Falkenhayn. AS a definite earnest
of his trust and regard he placed un-

HEROINE OF PRETTY ROMANCE

Elizabeth Reid Rogers, a pretty south

the Kiel canal.
