Yale expects to win easily but with no
large score, from Columbia at Manhattan
Field Saturday. The Yale coaches believe
the Wisconsin game served more than
anything else this season to get the varsity
on edge. II is even thought that the vet
eran guard, Gordon Brown, and Half Back
Sharpe are too far advanced and should be
given a short rest. Captain Mcbride has
been out of the practice so much while as
sisting in the coaching, that there is little
danger of his going stale before the Har-
ward game Yales hospital list includes
Cunha. Sharpe Adams, Kiefer, Wear,
Keane, and Goss from the varsity, and as
many more from the scrub Since the Yale
management has appointed Dr. L. j. San
ford, a surgical expert, TO examine every
player who reports an injury all the Grip
pies have undergone a special course of
treatment, and the rapidity and thorough
ness with which the cases have been dis
posed of has justified the employment Of
the doctor. Several of the men now in the
infirmary are expected to be available for
the Columbia game if necessary.

new formations to spring on the Ithaca

other trick the Tigers have perfected is
the double pass. This, while by no means

faults are a tendency to indulge in offsids

Lay Two Hundred Eggs.

How can we produce hens that will lay
200 eggs per annum9 By scientific
breeding, as for good butter COW or a
COW mixer, as for a good trotter or
high jumping horse. Experiments have
been made to increase the number of
rows of corn on the cob with success.
The same method is applicable to poul-
try breeding. We will start with hen
that lays 1870 eggs. Some of her chicks
will lay $50 per year From these we
will pick out layers, and so on, until
900 or better are the result. At the
same time it is just as essential to breed
out of males from prolific layers, as it
is the females; in fact, it is more so. If
we look after the breeding of the fe-
males only, we will introduce on the
male side blood which is lacking in pro
ficiency and thus check every attempt
in progress 1t is just as essential that
the male should be from the hen which
lays 175 eggs and from male that
was bred from hen that laid 150 eggs
as it is that the hen should be from one
that laid 175 eggs and whose mother
laid 100 eggs Poultry Herald.

PouItrymen Can Keep Busy.

In addition to the feeding of his birds
the owner of a poultry establishment
will find plenty to occupy his attention
during the year In the first place. the
condition of the roofs and the wire
work should be attended to periodically,
as adaptations which commence in a
small way soon increase into formidable
matters and while they are getting
worse the birds are suffering discom-
fort, which results in diminution Of
their productiveness. 1t is essential,
too, that the floors of the roasting
houses should be dug over-the best
bottom for poultry shed is earth beat
en- down hard--and the tainted top
layer replaced by fresh mold while in
the case of small runs these will also
have to be cleaned out Country Life

CRY, GRIT AND MORE GRIT.
Several Kinds Needed In Poultry
Raising-Broken Dishes.


Raising-BrOken Dishes.
Every one knows that grit is needed
in any business, but there is no occupa-
ton where greater amount and vari-
ETY. of grit is necessary than In the
chicken business When sitting hens
leave their eggs until they are chilled
beyond all hope, great amount of grit
is needed to reset those hens on fresh
eggs. When "varmints" get into the
flock and carry off and kill few dozen,
grit and sharp steel trap are both
needed. When our poultry is we'll fitted
for market and the price goes down,
down, until it is SO low you need mi
is wanted to persist in feeding and
hanging on until the market comes to
its senses. Grit and staying qualities
are needed badly in the poultry bust
ness all know who have tried their
hand for few years in succession, but
it is of another kind of grit intended
writing about-grit for the chicks use,
their teeth A pile of gravel and sharp
sand is needed in the poultry run, but
something else is necessary if we would
have our chicks do their best Gravel
is comparatively smooth. and few
hundred chicks will soon pick it over,
anyway All the grit on the market l
have seen was good and filled the BILL
but it is somewhat expensive, and there
is scarcely house but that can furnish
an abundance of grit material almost if
not quite as good as market grit, and
at no cost save little time. / mean
dishes and crockery ware We use, and
have for years, piece of railroad iron
and hammer with which we break
the pieces of dish and jar into suitable
size for hens and chicks. Chinaware is
the best, but well glazed crooks, Jars
and jugs furnish excellent material
We also use thick glass, and although
the practice is not recommended we
have had no bad results One should not
use thin glass, / believe. The amount
of such material that 100 hens and sew
eral hundred chicks will consume, even
when they have gravel pile to run to,
is almost beyond belief. If one has not
any children to help along with the grit
making, a mortar would be almost in
dispensable with very large flock
Besides being such great help to the
poultry it does away with the broken
dishes round the premises. If you run
out of material, almost any village can
supply you with a large amount, and
it is glad to get rid of it. Whenever you
see dishes dumped in bitches and are
prepared to take them, get out and
gather them. They will, when made in
to the right size, return to you in the
shape Of eggs and quick growth in the
chicks.
The egg yield is increased almost at
once. Indeed when the grit runs
out, the eggs are scarce for day or
two sure, aud if the supply of grit is
not replenished the eggs get scarcer and
scarcer. Then when you begin to ham
mer. how the hens will run and pick
Then the eggs will begin to increase
Chicks grow much faster and are
healthier, of course, as they can digest
their food if supplied with "teeth. -
