"A field of orchard grass makes an

stock with birds that have not acquired

egg-eating first attack the shell with
their bill. If it is thin shell few
strokes will break it, and the rest is an
easy job.
There is apparently little founda-
tion for the claim made by some feed
ers that most of the nutriment has been
taken out of the grain which passes

Nervous housewives whose husbands
frequently bring home company to din

worry in their secret hearts for fear
there may not be food enough to supply
the unexpected guests. i matron liv-

residences in West Philadelphia, whose
husband perists in bringing home

has hit upon happy expedient to meet
possible emergencies.

Those farmers who give the fowls free
range are often sorely tried by the hens
determination TO hide their nests.
Every now and then, among the brush,
or some hidden nook, they will find
eggs of all ages, and in all conditions.
What can be done to prevent hens from
thus hiding their nests? We admit we
do not know. We always aim TO have
clean and attractive houses, and nests
made of soft hay, but still when our
hens have a range they will hide their
product somewhere else. II seems 10 be
natural with them.
1t teaches an important lesson. II
shows us that when we yard our hens
we will find 1t TO work to advantage
to have the nests placed in the house
in somewhat dark corner-the boxes
covered over. In nine cases out Of ten
we have found that hens will resort to
such a nest before they will pay at
tention to one that is open so that the
hen can be seen. There is also an adj
vantage in a dark nest in preventing
egg eating. Let the hen be under the
impression that she is hiding herself
and she will be more apt to lay in the
same place. Exchange.

If there is any place on earth where
ducks should thrive and be profitable
it is in the south There is not state
sorth of the Ohio river that is not fur

In TACT, there is water surface enough
to float millions of the web-footed,
feathered race, without befouling the

In We olden time it was considered
great sport to hunt wild ducks in the
water courses; and it is yet in some
sections. There's Reelfoot lake in the
west end of Tennessee, and other small
Ter lakes and bayous in southwestern

ELY NAMED

TO CAPTAIN TEAM.
Dibblee Entertained at Y an.

New Haven, Conn. Nov 2O-Morris
L. Ely. the plucky little quarterback Of
the Yale eleven, whose injuries that
ware at first believed to be merely
bruises. but turned out to be frac-
tured rib and a broken shoulder, is
resting comfortably tonight at the in
f1rnrary He is apparently more broken
hearted over the loss of the game than
over his own injuries.
A strong sentiment is growing up
among the students of the university
that he should be rewarded with the
captaincy of the eleven for next year.
His work in the game has won a very
high regard for him and has been a
surprise to all who did not know him
intimately. The objection to Ely's Sc
lection among the coachers so far as
any Is ascertainable, is that the policy
of choosing a graduate student for cap
tain is not deemed a wise one. 1t seems
certain that Capt. Chamberlain will
not be reelected even should he re-
turn to study another year at Yale,
which is doubtful. Should Ely not be
made captain, the only logical candi-
date is Mcbride, the full back. Brown,
the big guard, who has still two years
at Yale to study and to play foot ball,
is also mentioned, but as he is not a
senior next year and as his position at
guard is not an advantageous one for
a captain, he is not greatly favored. The
election of captain, which is by vote of
the men who played in the Princeton
and Harvard games, win not take
place until Ely is able to attend
The result of the game with Harvard
seems to have created the strongest
sort of feeling at Yale that the sys-
TEN of volunteer graduate coaching is
at fault for the two defeats and that
next year Yale must have not only an
able and professional trainer, but also
a head coach The graduates will be
welcome and highly desirable aids to-
ward the wind-up of the practice sea-
son, but should not be relied upon for
another whirlwind finish
