A Suitable Type of Poultry House for
the Town Poultry Keeper Whose
Space Is Limited,

the same time green food is provided.
The actual selection of the breed
should not be n difficult matter when
one considers that more depends upon
the way fowls are managed than upon
the breed itself. Pure-bred fowls of
the general-purpose or egg type pur-
chased for reasonable figure are well
suited for backyard poultry plants.
However, when pure-bred fowls can
rot be obtained grades properly cared
for and fed will usually produce suf-
Gcient eggs and meat for the table
of the average family.

WHO WON CHAMPIONSHIP
FLAG FOR CINCINNATI?

The oft-repeated query, "Who
won the war;" Is paralleled by
one just as puzzling. II is,
"Who won the pennant for Gin
cinnati?' Some one has figured
that at least four men who are
not members of the Redland
outfit have just claims to rec
ognition In this connection.
They are as follows:
William +. Baker, president
of the Phillies, who released
Pat Moran last winter.
John McGraw, who, after he
had signed Moran as coach for
his pitchers, voluntarily released
him so that he might accept the
management of the Reds.
Barney Drcyfuss, who refused
to waive on Walter Ruether and
Jimmy Ring last spring and so
kept them In the league.
Charles II. Ebbetts, who re-
fused to pay Billy Kopf's salary
demands, the result being that
Kopf remained with the Reds.
