SCHOOLBOY SERIES
STARTS UP FRIDAY
Title Games Will Open With
Double Bill at Y. N. c. A.
Gymnasium.

Western VS.. Business and Central
VS.. Eastern is the way the opening
bill of the High School Basketball
League will open up its schedule Fri
day afternoon, at the Y III. c. A.
when Prof. C. Z. Beckett and ]. Y.
Hughes call order for the first game.
Fer the past two seasons Business
and Western have been the greatest
of basketball rivals. Two years ago
Western won the title after having
played Business three games. The
championship race ended in a draw
between the two schools, and in the
rubber game Western won out.
Last, year Western walked OF with
the title again. but Business always
menaced during the season. and the
Westerners were forced to go the
limit in both engagements with Bust
ness. The stenographers won sec
ond honors.
Teams Form League.
Both teams were in the Interscho-
1astic League. which was broken up
when Western. Eastern, Central. and
Business withdrew. This year Tech
put in a basketball team. and the
five high schools decided to operate
a separate circuit. as in other sports.
The faculty advisers obtained the
7. n. C. A. gymnasium for the bas-
ketball games this season, and TWEEN
ty contests will be played during
January and February. The games
will be played Fridays and Tuesdays,
beginning on Friday.
A double-header will be played on
Fridays, and a single game will be
run of on Tuesdays. Besides the
Western-Business contest on Friday,
Central and Eastern will take the
floor.
Central Team Strong.
Central is having the benefit of a
hrst-cIass gymnasium at the new
school, and the boys have taken to
the game with increasing interest.
C. A. Metzier is coaching the team,
and to date the Central team has not
lost q game.
The Central five is a strong one,
according to reports. The Boys Y.
NJ. c. A, Friends, and the Chi team
of the Fraternity League, have been
defeated. Eastern is not expected to
prove strong enough to give Central
an argument.
The Capitol Hill lads have a small
gym in which to practice, and have
done little in the way of competition
this season. Eastern came up dur
ing the past season and showed a lot
of clever basketball during the latter
part of the year.
Business Is Counted.
Coach Paul White at Business has
a number of strong players from last
season, and can count upon a number
of veterans. Macdonald, Wise, Gless-
ner, Towbes, and Coo are hoIdoyers
from last season, and can be expected
to carry Central along to the limit
Tech has been coached by Billy
Martin, and from indications will have
fast five. The Manual Trainers have
Catlin and Tabb, two youngsters who
have played q lot of basketball at the
Epiphany gymnasium with the church
team.
Pfeiffer and Myers are two others
who have added strength to the Tech
team. Techs start in the series will
be made next Tuesday, when Western
is encountered.

The real fight before the U. S. @. A.
Is not that the executive committee
ruled improperly in barring Francis
Ouimet from amateur competition. but
against the rule adopted at Chicago last
year. The Woodland Club, Ouimet's
home organization, should make it plain
that its opposition is not against the
committee, but against the present ridi-
culous rule. Ouimet was engaged in
selling sporting goods before he attain
ed golf prominence. II was only after
the present amateur rule was adopted
that the committee felt itself obliged to
bar him.

.ROUCHING BEEF CATTLE
THROUGH The WINTER

Very few cattle are being full fed
this season. Those having cattle are
interested in wintering them on rough
feeds in the best manner possible. says
the Kansas Farmer.
"Roughing CATTLE may mean either
one Of two methods of handling them.
It may mean carrying cattle through
the winter without shelter and allow
ing them to gain their livelihood from
straw stacks and whatever they can
pick up about the farm Or it may mean
caring for them in practical, econom-
ical and profitable manner without the
use Of grain. Where cattle are rough
ed through the winter by the first
method there will usually be some
losses, and the stock will come out in
the spring weighing less than they did
in the fall. It will take them half the
summer to get in a good. healthy.
thrifty condition again. This method
Of roughing cattle through the winter
never has proved profitable and never
will.
The second method implies the use
Of cheap shelter, which may be either
straw shed or a board shed open on
one end: also the use Of suitable rough

have had very little trouble with colds
among my birds in the building where
I have the muslin frame. When you
open a tightly closed room filled with
birds you will find birds backs covered
with frost and their feathers will be
wet This is caused by close breath
ing, which also causes brown combs
You seldom find this condition when
muslin curtains are used, as bad air
escapes and neither does frost gather
on the birds. In making large cur
tain I think canvas is better than mus
lin as it will stand the strain Of the

all right.

feeds, such as corn or Kafir fodder,
silage, cane hay and oat or wheat
straw. In most localities this winter
there is an abundance Of rough feed Of
one or more of the above varieties
For roughing cattle through the win
ter the best possible combination of
feeds is silage and alfalfa hay. Many
have not as yet accepted this fact.
There are too few farms where sllage
and alfalfa hay both are to be found
in sufficient quantity to winter any
large number Of cattle. A fairly roomy
shed that is kept we'll bedded with
straw, suitable water supply and an
abundance Of alfalfa hay and slage
make ideal conditions for wintering a
bunch of yearling or two-year-old steers
or heifers or bunch of breeding beef
COWS. On farms where the silo has not
yet been built and the alfalfa field has
not been started the fodder and other
rough feeds can be used, but along
with these feeds pound day OF cot
tonseed cake or oilmeal should be fed
to give the best results.
In order that beef herd may prove
profitable it is necessary that all the
young 2ettle shall gain a little in win
ter and come out in the spring In a
good, thrifty condition, so that they will
begin to gain at once when put npas-
ture. To accomplish this and get the
desired result the young cattle espe-
cially must have suitable shelter,
though it need not be expensive, and
they must be regularly and carefully
watered and regularly fed an album
dance of feed even though the feed is
not of the best quality.

soWs never fail to eat it up clean.
also feed some corn, but not much of
it. Corn is too fattening for pregnant
animals and is only needed to help
maintain heat and balance up other
portions OF the ration. The animals
are also fed milk mixed with wheat
middlings, ground oats and bran and
little oil meal, which meets the re-
Quirements of the sows and avoids the
danger of constipation, which brings
on a fevered condition at narrowing
time and not infrequently causes the
soWs to become enfrenzied and devour
their offspring. Such green food as
mangolds, beets and potatoes given oc-
casionally are relished by the soWs and
benefit them in several ways.
The sOWs should always be given a
well varied ration, as q variety of feeds
produce much better results than any
one single feed Particular care should
be taken not to Overfeed. In fact,
heavy feeding of sows during preg-
nancy will not produce best results. 1t
is a mistake to fatten them before far
rowing time. They should be kept in
just ordinary flesh condition. II kept
weighted with flesh they cannot handle
themselves easily and are likely to lie
on their pigs and kill them. 1 am very
careful about the water supply for my
sows. On very cold days l warm the
sows' drinking water and also the
sloppy portion Of their feed.

FRESH AIR ESSENTIAL
IN POULTRY RAISING

I make my muslin windows the same
as l would glass with the exception
of the crossbars in the sash, writes a
Nebraska correspondent Of the indie
pendent Farmer. I cover the sash
with muslin and fasten sash to frame
with hinges, so that it can be opened
during nice weather. But l keep the
window closed during windy or stormy
days and close the window at nights
during the cold weather.
l prefer the muslin window. Glass
gathers frost from the breath Of the
birds and does not let in fresh air,
while the muslin does not let the
draft through, but permits fresh air to
come in and the bad air to escape and
still keeps the birds wafm. l place
the hinges on my windows at the top
and allow them to drop down when
open, but they can be lifted when
opened and fastened by button.
I believe fresh air is very essential
in poultry raising. Birds confined in
close places are the ones that take cold
easily and if allowed to run will de-
velop roup.
If it is possible when building pOul-
try house leave the south side open,
having a large muslin curtain to cover
the openings during the stormy wealth
err. Tack the curtain to the top Of the
open space, then make roller or take
a by and tack on bottom OF the cur
