FOWLS FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Not Necessary TO Have Hens Of Extra
Good Standard Quality for Eg0
Production.

For the backyard flock, kept TO pro
ducr eggs only, It is not necessary to
have hens Of extra good standard
quality. What breeders Of standard
poultry call choice utility hens are as
good uS amy for egg production. and
cost but little more than ordinary
mungrels. Hens of this grade In the
medium sized breeds are usually n
little under standard weights. and
have superficial faults-as unsound-
ness Of color, or irregularity Of mark
ings or of the shape of the comb
which in no way affect their laying
capacity, but make them UNFIT for ex-
hibition and undesirable for breeding
purposes.
When buying hens in person, par

DUST BATH VERY ESSENTIAL
Best Results Cannot Be Expected II
Hens Are Permitted TO Become
OVerrun With Vermin.

If the best results are TO be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually,
there will be place in the yard where
the hens can dust themselves in the
dry dirt. In the absence of such Il
place, a box about . feet square and
containing ordinary road dust or fine
dirt should be placed in the house.
A dust bath aids the hens in keep
ing lice in check and therefore adds to
their comfort. If they are not able to
keep them in check by busting them
selves, other measures can be taken.-

Chicago, July 2.-Roger Hornsby, the
st. Louis slugger, who is topping the
batters of the National League, went
up against some stiff pitching the past
week when the Cardinals pattled with

, points off his batting average, ac-
cordins to figures published today
which include games of last Wednes-
day. He was then hitting to1.
Hornsby has passed the century
mark for hits, the first member OF the
Heydler circuit to 10 this so far this
season. He has cracked out los for a
total of 49,. bases, which puts him far
in front of his rivals. His hits in
clude sixteen doubles, ten triples and
seven homers.
Pep Young of New York. who was in

as heavy as that Carpenter himself
wound about his own rfsts.
There was little delay in the usual
preliminaries to champion contest
and at BIS the gong called the men
to the center of the ring for the
championship battle.
Thirteen minutes later the great in

| the world was over and Carpenter
was being hall carried, half dragged to
his corner by the police and his sec
ouds. Helpless and groggy and with a
blood smeared face he did not re-
semble in the slightest particular the
super confident challenger of few
minutes before.
Across the ring Jack Dempsey sat
in his corner with not mark on face
or body. Francois lpescamps was
nlinisterng to his crushed idol as he
schbed and chartered in French. when
finally Carpenter did arise, he stag
gered toward the center of the ring
and the police and ring officials see
ing his condition supported him while
Dempsey sprang from h!e stool, ana
running to meet his defeated opponent
grasped his hand and congratulated
him on his gameness and boxing
ability.
a moment later the principals had
left the ring and the fight of the
century had become ring history" In
tho short period OF the contest 1t was
shown couclusively that Carpenter is
in no way compared to Dempsey as a
fighting machine.
Courageous. speedy of foot and with
a lightning like rapier blow he proved
