CHUM BoB's SPORTING TALK.

| f fs ,
New York, Jan. 10-(By Union An
sociated Press)-Judging by the
weather, the yatching season is far
off, but taking the plans Of yatchms.l
as criterion, 1T is right here now.
The outlook for next summer, is GER
tainly exceedingly bright. In all de-
partments the sport will be keen, for
J the builders are so crowded with or
! ders for baths that it is almost i'm
possible to fill them. One thing that
has made the racing Of power boats
an assured success is that several Of
the express cruisers which were. to
have been out last year But which
were late in being finished are now
ready. Several of these will take part
in the coming races at Miami Six
long distance events have been ar
ranged in addition to the three days
racing on Biscayno Bay.
Carl G.. Fisher, who is the chief
mover in the Florida racing, has sent
two boats, Shadow III. and Ryan III,
both equipped with Speedway engines,
which have been built at Indianapolis.
He will race the Shadow, and the
Raven will be used by another yatchs-
man, Countess, the sensational boat
of last year, has changed owners and
will race at Miami.
Present indications are that 1917
will be the greatest season tennis has
ever known-partly due to the tourna-
ments for Juniors and boys.
New York will be recommended to
the annual meeting of the U. s. N.
L. T. A. for designation as tennis
centre. This will take place at the
annual meeting of the association to-
be held here Feb. 8. This proposal is
in connection with suggestions for in
ceasing number Of tournaments for
Juniors and boys that will be brought
to the delegates attention.
The present winter is likely to set
a record for the small number Of man
agerial changes which will take place
in the major leagues. So far there
has been only one shift, Fred Mitchell
succeeded Joe Tinker as manager of
the Cubs. This in all likelihood will
be the only change when the sixteen
clubs line up next spring.
J. H. Watt, the Cornell hurdler
who won the junior Amateur Athletic
Union indoor championship at Buffalo
New Years Day. is splendid per-
former. He will be dangerous COM
petitor for any of the Eastern college
hurdlers this year, He will fit in well
to the vacancies left by F. H. Starr
and L. E.. Gubb, both Of whom were
lost by graduation.
Although we have been told by the
theatrical people that Les Darcy is
going to be stage star rather than
one of the ring and that he had signed
a contract to show for fifteen weeks at
salary Of $4,000 per week, it il re-
ported that Les will fight very soon
If he can get the first crack at Al
Mccoy, who is generally conceded to
be the American middleweight cham-
pion. It's Darcy's ambition to be-
come the undisputed holder Of the
title in his class and he believes that
he can clear all doubt to his claim BY

TO GET EGGS DURING WINTER
Comfortable Houses Must Be Provided
to Secure Most Profitable Re-
turns From Hens.

Times have changed since chickens
roasted out on the trees and fences.
Once in a while you may see such
farms where hens are permitted to
follow this old way Of foraging. But
as q rule every hen must pay a profit
or she goes to market and at an early
age too. Hens are measured by the
number of eggs they lay instead of by
the number of pounds they weigh. Elk.
pensive houses are not necessary but
must be comfortable to insure proper
egg laying. A house should accom-"
mOdate as many hens as space calls
for without crowding; about two
square feet Of floor space per hen is
about right. This keeps up the tenn
perature in cold nights and still gives
scratching roam to insure egg produc-
ton.

One method is to dig a trench about

WORMS IN HOGS.
Remedy Suggested by the Kansas State

importance Of increasing profits in
hog raising by eradicating the parasitic

Dykstra, professor of surgery in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Many inquiries are being received by
the college from farmers as to the best
means of combating this pest. which
saps it's food from the animal and thus
reduces the meat production and makes
the hog more susceptible to disease.
The hog should be starved for eight
cen hours and then fed two and one
half grains of santonin, one-half grain
Of calomel, Onc-half dram of powdered
areca nuts and one dram of bicarbOnate
Of soda to 100 pounds of live hog
weight. These substances should be
administered in the feed or slOp. In
this way each hog gets an equal por-
ton.
The animals should be kept confined
In pens SO that the feces and expelled
worms may be collected for a period
Of forty-eight hours after the medicine
has been given. If such fcces are not
