NO FOOTBALL AT HAVERFORD
Fears That Pastime Would Interfere
With Military Course Cause Aban-
donment of Game.

After tenure Of almost forty years
the great American game Of football
will be abolished at Haverford college
this season. IT was believed that the
paStime would materially interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays,
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless government regula-
tionS forbid such procedure, which is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander of
Swarthmore, "the students need recre-
alton and as football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, if pos
sible, continue competitions"
The annual struggle with Haverford,
which must now be abandoned, came
as rather severe blow to the Garnet,
but failed in any way to alter its de-
termination to see 1t through. DR.. Roy
Mercer will be retained and the sport
run on the best basis possible.

No breeder in the United States,
taking the number Of mares In hla
string into comparison, can show a
greater measure Of success than Rich
urd Il. Wilson, the president OF the
Saratoga Association for the Improve
mcnt Of the Breed of Horses. While
Wilson had until recently only anoui
half dozen mares, he always had a
horse of more than ordinary quality
racing under his colOrs that was the
outcome Of his own theories in mating
while in Campfire and hannibal no
secured two iirst-cluss horses.

was this which interfered with his

There was a time when golf was con-

Cage ball, one of the latest
} additions TO the long list of
training camp sports conducted
by the war department com
mission on training camp activl-
ties, bids fair to become one of
the most popular athletic diver
SiOns among the soldiers and
sailors.
Cage ball combines the play

the rush and drive of football.
the exciting moments of basket
ball and the rough hustle and
tuSsIe Of the class rush.
The game can be played by a
dozen, Il hundred or thousand
men; there is no limit to the
number of players. Thus the
weak and undevelOpcd may have
the same experience, pleasure
and profit that is given to the
skilled athlete who plays on IA
team whose players are limited.
And the aggressive lighting
spirit, so invaluable on the bat
tletield, is stimulated.

Keep hogs where there is plenty of
shade and running water. Avoid stag
nant and muddy ponds and wallows.
Silage fer sheep must be made from
well-matured corn, and should be of
good quality. Sour silage from i'm.
mature corn is not advisable.
Under normal conditions corn is, in
nearly all parts of the United States,
the cheapest poultry feed. But at
times like the present cats are to bs

when 1t is most needed there. Indeed,
n hog house with the windows in tho
proper position is rarely seen. Direct
sunshine should stcike the floor in
every pen for as many hours IN
day as possible at tbe time Vhrn tho
pigs are farrOwed. Nearly everyone
realizes this is matter Of the great
est Importance, but too uftrn the build
er does not take the trOChle 10 ilnl
out whether he is getting il or not Or
dinarily the farmer has no means OF
ascertaining where 20 put tbe windows
so Us to get the maXimut amount OF
sunshine at the time he wants it un-
less he happens to be builsng just at
that time. which is very u@uSuai. The
country is dotted with hog houses in
which the owner thought ne was put
ting the windows where he wanted
them, but found later they were ia
the wrong place.
In double houses the windows for
lighting the south pens must he as
tight as possible in order TO get them
away from the hogs.
Advantages of colonl' House.
Whether the large hOuse with indi
Vidual pens is better than the iBdivid.
ual cot or colony house is an open
question. perhaps largely a matter OF
individual preference. Each has its
distinct advantages which cannot bo
secured in the other. Many Of the best
hog raisers are now providing them
selves with both types OF houses, and
this seems to be the most satisfactory
method. It is no more expensive in
the long run, for all the buildings eau
be kept in use the year round. In such
cases the large houses are used for
farrOwing quarters, and as soon as the
pigs are week or two old, or as soon
as the weather permits, the sOws and
litters are removed TO the individual
cots. During the remainder Of the
year the large houses are utilized for
sleeping quarters.
The movable or colony hog houses
are especially suited to the needs Of
the farmer just starting in the hog
business, and also for pig-club mem
bers. These houses can be moved from
field to field as the pigs are changed
from one grazing crpp to another.
Their use makes it easier to keep the
hogs healthy, as the house may be
moved as soon as one place becomes
or unclean.
There are two common types Of col
my hOuses-the box shaped and A.
ype house. The bOX-shaped house is
he most desirable Of the two. espe-
tally for those who have a SOW and
liter to care for. This house has an
Idvantage over the A-type house in
hat it is cooler in summer, for the
oOf is not so near the floor, thus Glv-
ng more air space. 1t is easier to
lean, easier to work in, gives better
and admits more sunlight.

conditions the front of the

DEMAND FOR MORE PORK

The serious decrease in hog
marketings during 1917 has
brought forth demand that
farmers and pig-club members
materially increase their swine
production to meet the needs of
our soldiers and our allies for
pork and pork products. Prop
er housing will be AZ, important
factor in such increased prOduc-
tion, as it will reduce the
amount of feed consumed and
will prevent losses from expos
ure during winter, especially. In !
some sections of the country the
farmers build larger and more :
expensive houses than are neceg-
sary, but in great many places >
too little attention is given to
proper houses for swine. !
