WINTER REVENUE FROM HENS
First Essential Is Proper Quarters for
FowIs-Dry Leaves Make Ideal
Scratching Material.

A scarcity of eggs in winter is loss
that every true poultry keeper tries
to avoid. Being the only source of
revenue expected from the flock at
this time of the year, everyone is
anxious to have goodly supply, and
with proper care and feed, satisfac-
tory results can reasonably be ex-
pected.
Proper quarters In which to house
the hens is the first and foremost
necessary essential. The house should
be kept clear of dirt and rubbish. and
the nests sweet and clean. A cold
dry hen house provided 1t is free from
dafts, is to be preferred to a damp,
warm one. as the latter is sure to bring
disease to your flock.

ways be provided In winter-should be

PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Best Time Is When Operation Does
Not Draw Blood-Dry Feathers
Before Marketing.

The best time to pick geese is when
picking the feathers will not draw the
blood this is usually just before molt-

Some make practice of picking the
geese twice a year, but this is not a

of the geese, and units them for good
service as breeders.
After the feathers have been picked,
they should be spread out to dry, after
which they are ready for the market.

FISTIC HISTORY

Six years ago today, June %, 1912,
Al Palzer knocked out Bombardier
Wells in the third round at New York.
This was the first appearance Of the
English heavyweight champion, and
his defeat by the clumsy Iowa farmer
came as a big surprise, as the Brit
lsher completely outclassed the Amer
lean up to the very finish. The audi
ence, strange to say, was for the
Englishman almost to a man, and
Bombardier was wildly cheered,
while the big American was often
hooted for his clumsiness. In the
first two rounds Wells fought rings
around Palzer, smashing him almost
at will. One ferocious Highlander
from the ex-soldier stretched Pal
ger out, knocking him clean off his
feet, and the crowd thought the bat
tie was over, but Al got up and
fought doggedly on. At last he got a
chance to land blow on his scien-
tific opponent, and one punch was an
that Palzer needed. Bombardier
crumpled UP and lay still and the
fight was over. Palzer did not last
long among the top-notchers, and
Wells, with the outbreak of the war,
turned to his old trade of soldering.

the educational organization of the in
telligence and cooperative effort of
the people is essential to victory; that
the army, which is the spear-head in
France, must have its long strong
shaft at home. The Council Of Ma
tional Defense at Washington has de-
creed that the school houses must
serve as the governments outposts and
has called on every state organization
to assist in this civic Organization at
the school center. President Wilson
has seen the need for this and has
written personally to every state,
calling attention to this new move
ment as one that will weld this ma
ton together as no other great nation
has ever been welded before, and
thirty eight states already have res
ponded.

state. The loyal districts are those
that have 100 per cent. membership
of adults in this service and the school

each other to show every man, woman

This accounts for the animation

JINX ON THE TRAIL

Every now and then during a big
league baseball season there creeps
into the accounts of the seasons &C

It may follow ball club or it may
roost, like the Old Man of the Sea

It's dollars to dog biscuits that you
couldn't make Claude Cooper, star
southpaw of the National League, be-
lieve that he isn't being pursued by
the king of all the jinxes, and 1t
wouldn't be an easy matter to con-
vince Stan Coveleskie Of the Cleve-
land club, of the same thing. Eddie
Cicotte had similar experience
earlier in the season.
Cooper, for instance, has been try
ing to win a ball game since May
26. He's tried pretty hard, too. One
day he even went out and pitched a
one-hit game, hoping to shake old
man jinx off his shoulders, but he was
beaten.
Cooper started out in May by hold
ing the Boston club to five hits. His
own club got nine off Nehf, but Pitts
burEh lost, 2 to l.
In his next start, Cooper again al
lowed five hits against New York, but
Perritt only gave the Pirates three
and Cooper was beaten 2 to 0. T
another start against New York Coop
or doled out seven bingles and New
York won again while the Pirates
were collecting a quintet Of hits of

Cooper then decided to show a lit
tie more effectiveness and held the
Brooklyn club to two hits but lost
his game, 2 to 0, although Crime:

O'Day Connected
With Baseball For
Over Thirty Years

Henry O'Day, whose name is IA

has been connected with the great
American pastime as pitcher, umpire

years. It was just thirty years ago
today that Hank broke into the big
league as a twfrler for Washington,
then in the National League. He
had previously pitched for clubs in
Toledo and Savannah, and he had
been playing ball in Chicago, his ma
tive city even before that. In fact,

was launched in 1876.
O'Day, as has been said, made his

Hanks most celebrated performance
was pulled off that year. The Giants

third and fourth games and copped
both of them. The New York clut
of that year was managed by jim
Mutrie. The pitching staff, in add.

Hank didn't long remain in the

ing Cubs, and under his management
the club made a surprising race, only
to slump on the home stretch.

called Merkle out when he failed to
