New Haven, May 23.-An expedition to Texas and Nebraska will be made this summer by a Yale party headed by Prof. Richard E. Lull, associate pro- lessor in vertebrate paleontOlogy for the purpose of getting further collec- tiOns of fossil American horses for the Peabody museum It is desired to supplement the collection of specimens so well known in the scientific world made by Professor Marsh from 1870 to 1888. From the fact that, although the evolution of the horse is shown by these parts. the feet and skull, which best indicate the process of develop ment, there is no complete skeleton, and the prime object of the summers trip is to supply this deficiency.
 The Panhandle region of Texas, where in 1899 remains of what proved to be the last known types of horse before it's extinction in the western world were found and the Niobrara river beds in Central Nebraska, where the remains are in the middle stage of evolution, still three-toe and about 10 hands high A later expedition may go farther west With his improved methods Professor LulI hopes to sup plement with valuable specimens the Marsh collection. which Huxley studied years ago. and which even Charles Darwin intended to visit just before his death.

In baseball this week Williams col lege on Wednesday showed great strength, while Yale was unable to meet effectively the delivery of Davis. The game was lost in the first inning, when Hartwell of Yale was touched for five hits. letting In four runs. Swain's home run with man on base sent in two runs and three consecutive singles resulted in two more tallies.
 Yale scored one run in the fifth, and with Blossom on second and one out had an excellent chance, but Reilly famed and Piddell was fielded out easily Williams scored again in the seventh and in the ninth, the final score being 6l.

RAISING POULTRY FOR EGGS

Under the above title the Maine

Barred Plymouth Rock poultry. An
account ia given Of the results Of the
earlier experiments in selecting the
highest producers as breeders without
regard TO any other qualities than

that this plan OF breeding failed to OBJ
tain any distinct Improvement In flock
production. The experiments OF the
station TO find out whether continued
artificial incubation and brooding has
harmful effect on egg production are
described. The effect OF inbreeding on
egg production Ia discussed on the
basis OF extensive experimental rec.
ords. This is followed by a clear and
simple explanation OF a new plan OF
breeding which has been tried during
the past five years. and which IL based
upon the conception that high egg pro.
ductiveness is inherited In certain

that by a proper system OF pedigree

THOUGHTS OF SPRING FEEDS
b.. us Should Have Variety, Especially
Great Deal Reasonably Rich In Pro-
teIn-time 10 Needed.

Apoplexy among fowls is generally
confined TO the oyerfat birds and gen.
orally the heavier breeds are subject
TO H. II Is. therefore. necessary that
the keeper does not feed any great
Quantit.' OF fat-forming feeds 20 his
birds. especially to the heavier breeds.
In the spring OF the year more than
any other time OF the year the birds
should have a variety Of feeds, and
especially a great deal OF feed reason
ably rich In protein should be includ-
ed In the ration.
Soft-shelled eggs are usually pro-
duced In considerable numbers at this
time OF the year. The reason for this
generally lies In the fact that the birds
do not get the proper feed. To form
an egg shell the proper materials must
be present. and II they are not present
the soft-shelled egg is the result.
Lime IL one of the necessary mate
rials needed In the formation OF an
egg shell. and at this time OF the year,
when the hens are beginning to lay
liberal amount Of lime should be
present at all times where they can
partake OF II when they desire. In pro-
vtding any kind OF feed whether II be
vegetable or animal feed. be sure that
II Is pure and wholesome. Musty
grains and rotten meats will cause
sickness many times when the flock is
In perfect health.

It is possible that bacteria may be as
ISOLATED in some cases, but as yet we
have no positive proof Of 1t. II fol-
lows that the object Of all preserva-
tive treatment is to prevent the
development Of these organisms, and
that the most effective treatment is
the one that accomplishes this for the
longest period.
Fungi require for their best develop
ment a certain balance between the
air and the moisture content OF the
wood. and a favorable temperature.
Thorough seasoning, on the one hand,
or thorough saturation with moisture
on the other. alters this balance to
such an extent that the growth OF
the organism is either retarded or
prohibited. Air seasoning only re-
tards the growth.
There are several methods by which
timbers may be given more thorough
preservative treatment The surface
OF the wood may be soaked with paint
OF some similar substance. Such
coating keeps the wood dry. and more
or less efiectually excludes the en-
trance OF the decay-producing organ
isms. Such coatings. however. would
be applied only to well-seasoned ma
terial, since they will also tend to re-
tard the escape Of such moisture as
may be already within the timber.
Better preservatives are the products
OF the distillation OF coal tar and
petroleum tar. which. in addition to
possessing the advantages OF paint.
are antiseptics and poisonous to fungi.
The deeper such antiseptics penetrate
the wood the more lasting is their
effect.
II Is well known that wool decays
most rapidly when placed In contact
with the surface Of the ground,
because the Notwithstanding organ
tsms find there more uniform condi-
lions OF heat and moisture to encour-
age their development. For this rea-
son the ground line OF a post must be
thoroughly treated. whereas portions

The amount OF wood used on the
