STRAW LITTER FOR POULTRY
Where Chickens Are Confined Some-
thing Should Be Provided for
Fowls to Scratch In.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If the chicken must be confined on
account of bad weather, provide good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and
healthy. When chickens that have been
accustomed to free range are closely
confined this frequently checks their
development for the time being unless
they are made contented in their new
quarters. Provide green feed for them
also.

LEAF SPOT HARMS LEGuMEs
Fungus Which Causes Disease Lives
Over Winter on Dead Leaves--
Two charaeterIsties.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Common alfalfa leaf-spot and red
clover leaf-spot are similar in appear
ance but are caused by two distinct
fungi, says a specialist Of the United
States department Of agriculture who
has published the results Of studies Of
alfalfa and clover leaf-spots in Bulle-
tin 759.
The fungus which causes alfalfa
leaf-spot lives over winter on dead
leaves which escape decay. There are
two characteristics of leaf-spot caused
by this particular fungus which usual
ly serve to distinguish 1t from spots
caused by other fungi. One is the cir
cular shape and small size Of the spots,
and the other is a small raised disk
liz the center of the fully developed
spot.
The disease is one Of the most se-
rious and widely known of those which
attack the foliage of alfalfa. It cnuses
greatest loss during wet weather, and
cases have been reported where 1t has
destroyed half of the alfalfa crop.
Little Is known of the method by
which fields become infested. Efforts

good chances here on April >26.

Their presence does not imply any
change in the attitude of this country
as to the Davis Cup matches, which will

With the arrival Of spring comes the
official communlque from Shibe Park
that bunch of ambitious battery candi-
dates will collect in the vicinity of
Twenty-frst street and >Lehigh avenue

spring practice.
When Connie arose this morning the
bright, warm summer sun gave him an
inspiration. He Immediately called in an
army OF messenger boys and dispatched
message to his numerous battery men
to get out their compasses and locate the
Mack headquarters on the morning of
March "a or there would be trouble.
After two hours of hard work Connie
finally found that he had fourteen pros
pective pitchers and three catchers The
seventeen were notified to report ready
for work on Monday morning.
No One Overlooked
No one was overlooked. The veterans
as we'll as the rockies will assemble
early on the oath; first for lecture,
then another lecture. Fhen follows an
inspection Of the field, General Mack
taking care to point out the historic
spots. EIe will lead the rockies into
rightfleld, bring forth a ladder and show
the boys the exact spot over which
Home Run Baker crashed that four
base smash in the 1911 world series
that brought more glory to the house
Of Mack.
Next will follow a close inspection of
second base. = There Connie will inform
the youths of Eddie Collins and the
ground that he made famous in ye olde
days.
As this early training is for the bat
terry men, much time will be devoted to
inspecting the pitchers mound and the
catcher's headquarters. Connie will
bring forth large collection Of photo
graphs, and beginning with Rue Wad-
dell, will go right down the list, explain
ing carefully the wonderful records and
exceptional work done by such wonders
as Eddie Plank, Chief Bender, Jack
