That's What Professor LuII Of Yale
Says About the Horse.

New Haven. Conn, March 1S.-The
evolution of the automobile is modern
history, but, ancient as the horse is,
few know that it goes back 10000
years, Prof. Richard Lull of Yale has
traced the equine steed back that
many years.
The horse originated in Europe, he
says, but its development was mostly
in America
The professor is silent upon the
army mule.

it was remarked by the foreman that
he did not think the fowls had been

fowls in the colony house had no

HE WINTER HOUSING OF
POULTRY AND EGG FERTILITY

flee range, however. the colony house
fowls undoubtedly picked up food
which was not available to the fowls
confined in yards. The discovery as
to the difference in the weight Of the
Eggs came as an incident of the ex.
pertinent. 1t was not part of the
regular plan OF the experiment on
housing. and the records do not show
whether 1t was the food or the method
of housing that is responsible for the
difference In the weight of the eggs.
The important point brought out is
that the size of the egg is influenced
by factors under the control of the
puultryman.

ever, have grown some misunderstanding as to the why and the how of
success. To the mind Of the untried young man there is a disposition to
make only two cassihcations OF human effort. One of these accomplshes
success; the other results in failure. Therefore, after success is reached
and properly measured, one man is a success, just as the man who is down
and out is a failure. One man has the admiration of the ambitious; the
other may have his choice Of SCOTS OF Of sympathy.
But, as between this man on the pinnacle Of success and this man in
the slough Of dependency, who will say ofhand which was the better
fighter: Which was the better man according TO his opportunities?
no man would be anything above another. Senator Ingalls, pictured OPP
poruntv as knocking once at the door Of every man. He did not specify
that frequently she knocks loudly and plainly here, with scarcely a tap
upon the door over there. Blu. that she knocked only once was his dictuIn.
We will take the ingalls, philosophy, admitting only that opportunity
knocks more loudly at some doors than at others, or at least insisting that
some men have better hearing than do Others,
But when opportunity has knocked she is not a guest merely to be
invited III. to be asked to at down and there unload her treasures. Her
knock merely is the invitation to the listening one to drop the trivial thing
with which he IL engaged and TO come out in search of that success Of
