SCALY LEGGED FOWLS.
This Disease of Legs Renders
Chickens Difficult to Sell.

The unsightly poultry disease
known as scaly legs is exceedingly
injurious to the marketability of
chickens, making them Objectionable
sights to buyers. Moreover, it is
extremely contagious, one diseased
fowl being enough to infect an en-
tire flock in short order. This in
formation should be especially in
teresting to South Carolina poultry
men. since the extension poultry
husbandman of Clemson College
states that he has seen more of the
scaly leg disease in this State than
anywhere he has ever been.
The disease appears only on the
legs of fowls and is caused by the
ravages of a mite which bears the
name sarcoptes mutans. 1t is more
likely to be found where fowls are
kept in a small yard or on the bare
ground. A good grass range is
helpful in overcoming the disease.
To treat scaly legs, thoroughly
cleanse the legs by washing with
water, soap, and handy brush.
Dry them and immerse them in a
solution of equal parts of coal oil,
(kerosene) and cottonseed oil. Treat
the fowls legs in this way twice
daily for a few days and then once
daily until the shanks resume their
natural appearance.

Leo LacOnicS.

Leo, February l4:-Some very
needed work is being done on the
causewav at Brown Bridges on the
Williamsburg side. A squad of
hands are located there; they are
ditching and throwing up the cause
way from both sides. which will
make it higher and wider where it
can be widened. This was begun
more than a year ago but was dis
continued some time before COM

way and we are glad this work is
being finished.
We understand that Mr. Bailey
Lyerly of this place is about to per-
feet multiplying machine. He
has been devoting some of his time
to it for quite a while. This ma
chine is something on the order OF
an adding machine though when
completed and perfected will be
quite different and capable of multi
plying any amount of figures. He
is applying for patent on his new
machine and when once put on the
market ready sales will be found.
Mr. Lyerly holds a position in the
mercantile establishment of Messrs
Walter Poston and Company near
here. His efforts are deserving and
he is to be complimcnted on the
progress thus far made on his new
invention. We feel that the busi-
ness world has use for such a ma
chine and that Mr. Lyerly will make
good in this invention.
The Farmers Mercantile Com
pany of Leo has been commissioned,
with capital stock of $4,000. The
petitioners are: J j Hanna, j H
Powell, J A Hanna, E D Hanna, O.
B Stone, A E Lyerly, w NJ Melton.

Vance Denslow, clear Of eye, neat

 teur.

Johnny Coulon, former bantam weight champion of the world, re- gently made a tour of the coast states. contesting in half dozen bouts. In the various cities they have different laws. For instance in Los Angeles he found that to box in the four-round bouts it was necessary for him to swear before a judge that he was an amateur. So when it came to his turn Coulon made up his mind that he was going to take a clance on being an amateur" Coulon was ordered to raise his right hand skyward, and as he did so he got a peek at the judge, who smiled a knowing look at him. Johnny saw the stuff was off and threw up the sponge right then and there, admitting that he was "pro." Do you know, I think I saw that judge at my contest with Kid Williams, and he was some ringside fan, too, '" Johnny commented.

Want Wagner for Pittsburgh

 Barney Dreyfuss is making de- termined effort to induce Hans Wagner to accept the management. of the Pirates for next season, ac- cording to men close to the Pitts burgh president. That Jimmy" Callahan will leave Pittsburgh is almost a certainty, and, although there have been many conjectures on who would step into Callahan's shoes. those best informed say Wag- ner will get the job if he will ac- cept it. Wagner has said in the past that he will not accept the managerial position. But those who know Wagner's relation with Dreyfuss say if Dreyfuss insists Wagner will not refuse There is talk of only two men for Callahan's berth, Wagner and Fred Clarke. But it is not thought likely that Clarke will be recalled. Wagner would have been named to manage the club at the retirement of Clarke, but he would not accept.

Battling ortega added another clean victory to his record satur- day night at San Francisco when he knocked out Sailor Eddie McLar- ney in the second round of sched- uled four-round bout A hard left rip to the pit of the stomach early in the second put the sailor down.
 He surprised his own handlers when he got to his feet after the count of five, but at once he real ized the folly of going on. He took a couple of soft pats to the body and went down again, this time to stay. ortega outclassed him from the opening gong.
 Joe White and Billy Hughes went four fast rounds. White drawing the decision by narrow margin. Mexican Kid Carter put Joe Zero out in the first round of the main preliminary.

 Oscar Mathew Battling Nelson. once champion of the lightweight ranks and one of the gamest men who ever pulled on a glove, is al- most broke. To those who recall Nelson as one of the busiest ring men who ever wore a crown; who remember his long theatrical en- garments, his closeness when it came to money affairs. this may sound like a pipe, but 1t is fact never theless. Bat says 30 himself.
 This is the way it all came about. Bat, as is well known, is the one big man Hegeswich, Ill, ever produced. And Bat always has been as proud of the old home town as it has been of him. So most of the $2OO.OOO which he ac- cumulated in heydey of his career went into Hegeswich real estate then unimproved.
 Bat conceived the idea of com polling the Illinois Central to build a station on property which he owned. But the railroad refused and Bat soon found himself swamp ed under ordinances passed by the city council requiring him to put in sewers, to pave some streets, to grade others, to make all kinds of Improvements on his property.

Trapshooting is Advancing

You've read all about the worlds baseball series in your favorite newspaper and of the vast amount of money that was turned over each day by the fans to witness these contests. The receipts ran about s65.OOO daily.
 But this is only a portion of the money that was spent during the series. There were the special trains for the baseball players, mag mates. both big and little newspa- permen and rooters, and the hotel expenses of these and other thou sands. Considered from all angles it is the biggest and most costly of American sporting ventures.
 Americans are madly interested in baseball. It is a "cradle to the grave" game. Everyone plays or knows of it. Therefore it is the na- tional pastime.
 This preamble brings one to a sport which, it's supporters says is second only in importance to baseball "a typically American sport-trap-shooting.
 Like baseball. it has its worlds series-the Grand American Handi- can and Tournament. In a way this is just as biz an event as the baseball worlds series, and the cost of the tournament pretty nearly equals the cost of the baseball classic.

What Was Spent,

There were 61O men and women, boys and girls, shooting in the re- cent Grand American. They came from every state in the Union and from Canada. It is safe to say that if cost each one at least S1OO, That makes $619,O0O-and that is a low estimate. Shooters who en- tered in every event paid almost S1OO in entrance fees, and there were many of them.
 The purses aggregated more than S15,OOO, of which the trapshooters put up about S1O.OOO. There were 227.25O targets thrown during the tournament and an equal number of shells were fred Figuring at the rate of cents for each and every shell and target the cost would be S15,9O7.5O to the trap shooters.
 These figures give you an idea of just how important sport trap shooting is. There isn't a sport where the competitors have so much money at stake, In baseball the player never takes a chance. Trap shooting is growing faster than baseball Five years ago there were not 100000 trapshooters in the United States; now there are 50O,- 900. Five years from now trap shooting will be just as big a sport as baseball is today, say the enthus- lasts.
