One OF the important matters 20 be
voted on by the delegates TO the an
nual meeting Of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association at
the Waldorf-Astoris on February 8 is
the proposition 10 change the method
OF conducting the national doubles
championship.
At the meeting OF the executive com .
mittee at the Waldorf this month a
resolution WAS passed recommending
that the doubles be decided in one
tournament, as in the singles cham
plonship. and that the champion team
play through.
i; is believed that this change will
greatly increase the interest in the
doubles game all over the country, for
II will encourage pairs to play together
all through the season. instead OF
changing partners frequently. as is now
the case. The playing through will also
put the title holders on a more equal
basi, with the other teams.

ihls Is the time Of year when farm.
CTS ana stockmen should exercise an
unusual degree Of care in order to
AVOID disease among their hogs, warns
Dr. r. $. Schoenleber, professor of
veterinary medicine in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
what should be done to prevent
cnolera, swine plague, and other hog
diseases? Should the farmer feed one

USED OH the market or should he vac.
clnate the hogs? These are some Of
the many questions that come In from
Kansas farmers. "If the herd shows
no sign Of infection. do neither" is the
ADVICE of Doctor Schoenleber. Clean
up says he, mot only the lots and
pens, but the premises. This should
be done under the supervision Of a
veterinarian or some other person who
has knowledge of bacteriology and
sanitation. No one else will do the
job properly"

The poultry keeper who expects to
get eggs next winter must have his
chickens hatch early this spring. 1t re-
quires from five to seven months for
three to five pound hen to mature so
that she will lay. Then hen of the
heavier breeds such as Rocks, Reds.
Wyandottes. ETC., weighing from five
to eight pounds each require from one
to three months longer. This Is based
on the assumption that the chicks are

sets in. This prevents his flock be.

months.
Unless a pullet Is laying In Deem
ber 1t is practically Impossible for her
to lay much until February, according
to experiments at the Missouri agri-
cultural station. This shows the neces-
sity of Matching early. If the hatch is
completed by May 10 there remains
but seven months in which to mature
the pullets. II winter eggs are ex.
pected the hatch should be completed
before that time. EGg records show
that early laying pullets--Novembe
and December-are the ones that
make the high egg yields and also lay
eggs at the time Of the year when
the price is the highest.
EARLY Matching is important, not
only from the standpoint Of next years
winter egg yield but also because the
early hatched chick comes from
stronger eggs, and the chicks get a
start before the extreme hot weather
arrives. For those two reasons the
poultrykeeper should exert every en-
ergy to get Off the hatch as soon as
possible.
