NEW YORK, Aug. is. U.PLewis
Lawrence Lacey, whose meagre
frame has withstood the shock of
a thousand polo attacks, will quit
the saddle at the end of the 1881
campaign. With his passing polo
will lose its most colorful, and, in
the opinion of many, its greatest
player.
Age is the cause of Lacey's decis-

Yesterday.
You know. I'm A now, and A,
while not a ripe old age, isn't eX-
actly the right age for such a stren-
uous game as polo" Lacey said.
II don't notice those years during
the first three or four chukkers,
but after that-well, the spirit is
willing but the flesh gets trifle
weak"
The marvel of it is that Lacey

bang, so long. BY so long we mean
the 33 years which Lacey has been
galloping up and down the polo

most of these years were spent in

found him playing at back. And

most entirely reserved for those big

you rolled 'em off Gibraltar.
/ No one can say that Lacey spared

defense. The bigger they came the
harder they fell; the hotter the
fray. the faster he rode; the more
furious his charges. Those who
never have seen the little gray

missed one OF the major thrills in

Lacey, one of the three 10 goal

Rotation of Hen Yard
Has Manv ADVANTAGES

Divide the poultry range in two,
suggests the poultry department at
the Ohio State university, and ro-
tate the flock with green crops.
If the flock is permitted to cover
the entire range all the time they
will soon kill all the vegetation
around the poultry house. This will
make it necessary to provide green
feed from another source and at
greater expense. The yard will
also become unsanitary and often
a sea of mud after a hard rain.
Early fall sown rye provides an
ideal fall supply of green feed for
poultry. Rape, sOwn in early sum-
mer, will provide succulence in the
ration a large part of the summer.
1t can be pastured as soon as it is
three or four inches high. Half
the yard is given to range and pas
ture for the flock while the other
half is in preparation for another
crop. A woven wire fence five feet
high will serve to keep the chickens
off the growing crop on the range.
The fence should be staked we'll at
the bottom, for usually more chick
ems go under fences than over
them.

FINE OLD GARDEN
TO BE "RESTORED"
Good News for Lovers of
Horticulture.

The oldest botanical garden in
the United States is located within
the limits of the city of Philadel-
phia, and is one Of the shrineS of
the horticulturally minded tourist.
The twO-hundredth anniversary of
the founding of this old garden was
celebrated on June 5 and of this
year, with ceremonies suited to the
occasion. The opening day was
spent in special exercises of a his
torical nature, and on the second day
the visitors were guests at the gar
den, tea being served in the old home
of the founder. John Bartram, a
section Of which was built in 100,
by Swedish settlers, and became the
foundation from which Mr.. Bartram
built later. The building was pur-
chased by Mr.. Bartram in 1928, and
the original house still remains in
the garden enclosure.
The Bartram garden is now under
going a process of restoration that

form, a fitting tribute to the plat of
land that has been devoted to gar
den purposes for two hundred years.
The house has been restored to it's
original form and now the garden,
through the efforts of the garden
clubs of Philadelphia and surround
ing country, will be made to resem-
BILE as nearly as possible the garden
Of the old days. These clubs have
undertaken as their first work to
restore to the garden the native
rhOdOdendrOns, mountain laurel and
other evergreens.
John Bartram was a native Amer
lean, his birthplace being Darby,
Pa. near Philadelphia. He lived to
the good old age of seventy-eight
and died in Bartram house in 1777.
The garden is located on the west
bank of the Schuylkill river, and
for many years it was a most iso-
lated spot. 1t was through his vOlu-

was taken for a trial run on the line
in August, 1929. The test run showed
that the rails, wooden stringers

not strong enough to sustain the loco
motive and the steam engines were
abandoned until the rOadbed was
strengthened several years later.

Easy for Poultryman
to Discern Poor Layel

Nature fashioned many birds
feathers so that the wearers might
hide themselves in foliage and find
protection; but she laid the hen
open to suspicion the day the hen
stops laying eggs. Poultry men
are using the growth of the feath-
ers, the coloring of the beak,
shank, and eye-lobe, and the po-
sition of the bones, to promptly re-
move the hens that lay too few
eggs to pay profits.
There is every reason, suggests
the New York College of Agricul-
ture, to use these indications and
improve the flock. Records show
that about 40 per cent of the hens
stop laying between June 10 and
October 1. and the hens feed bill
for that time is about 10 cents
At the same time that her board
bill is a loss, the poultry market
keeps going down; for on the aver
age, Leghorn prices are about four
cents a pound lower in October
than in June

FARO 7
POULTRY
GULL HEN FLOCKS
EARLY AND OFTEN
Poor Producers Cut Deep
ly Into Profits.

By culling poultry from the time
they are baby chicks on through
the laying period, it is possible to
boost egg production and increase
the income from the farm flock,
says z. B. Zumbro, extension spe-
cialist in poultry of the Ohio State
university.
Cost account records kept by IS
pOultrymen in northwestern ONO
indicate that egg production per
bird is one of the most important
factors influencing poultry profits,
he points out. OF the rs poultry
men, 80 made less than a dollar
profit per bird and had an aver
age production of 135 eggs per
bird. Thirty-six poultrymen made
between a dollar and two dollars
per bird and had an average pro-
ductiOn of 149 eggs. Seven farm
ers making a profit of more than
two dollars per bird had an egg
production of 176 during the year.
Culling is one sure way to in
crease the egg production per bird.
To insure that only good producers
will be kept and that birds not even
paying for their feed will be dis
carded, it is best to keep only those
birds having constitutional vigor,
of good size, of sexual maturity,
and free from serious breed and
variety defects.
Trapnest records show that pull
lets which mature fairly early are
the best producers and in culling
the flock it is best to keep pullets
which start laying early.

Caponizing Popular

Capons are becoming an increas-
ingly popular branch of poultry
keeping in some sections. Accord
ing to the University of New
Hampshire, the most suitable time
for capOnizing is that which al
lows time to properly finish the
birds so they will be ready for the
Christmas holidays. Cockerels
are suitable for caponizing when
they are one-half to two pounds in
size. A bulletin on caponizing is
put out by most state colleges and
may be secured free of charge.

land and the exchange Of many
seeds and plants, that Mr.. Bartram's
work became well known.
Another famous botanical garden
which ranks as the finest in the
world is at Bintenzorg, Java, this
garden in its present state of per-
fectiOn being the product of nearly
a century of effort on the part of
the Dutch inhabitants of Java. SO
wonderful are the flowers and plants
that the garden, which includes 90
acres, is known as "The Garden of
the East" L. c. Breed in the Gar
dener's Chronicle tells us of the veg
citation in this garden of wonders.
The governor generals house, which
is located in the garden, is ap-
preached, we are informed, through
the finest avenue of trees in the
world. These are Kanari trees reach
ing 100 feet overhead and have tall
straight trunks, covered with stag
horn ferns, Birdsnest ferns, orchids
and every type of parasite and air
plant that the climate will permit.
Mr.. Breed also describes a palm
that stands about 40 feet high, and
a wilderness of climbing plants "
among which are palms with
branches 600 feet in length. He
makes note of another palm that
bears the largest fruit and the
largest leaves of any known tree,
the fruit being two feet in diameter,
and the leaves 10 feet. Some of the
trees rise to a height of 100 feet
before the branches spread.

Eggs for Hatching

Eggs meant for Matching should
be gathered often enough to pre-
vent chilling, for the reason that in
the process of formation the egg
has been within the hens body at
the incubating temperature of 1O6
to 107. If it is covered as soon as
the hen that laid it has left the
nest, the process of incubation con-
tinues. A temperature of from 80
to 60 degrees is needed to suspend
incubation. If the egg is held at
a temperature at or above 70 de-
grees, the incubation will continue.
