BREED CHICKENS FOR PROFIT
In Making Selection One Must BE
Governed to Great Extent by Mar.
ket-Cockerel Is Important.

In making the selection of breed,
one must be governed somewhat by
the market. Birds that sell best on
the BLOCK. should be medium in size,
plump condition, with yellow skin and
legs. Most all our American breeds
have these requirements, and by care
full selection at breeding time one
can build up a profitable laying strain
from this class Of birds, such as the
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes.
The common practice of breeding
from the flock as a whole has done
more harm than anything else in max
ing the flock Improbable as egg pro-
ducers. Breeding from birds that
produce but one or two clutches Of
eggs during the year will produce
birds of like nature, and breeding a
sire that has not the laying quality
and characteristics bred in him can
not but help to make the situation
worse.
The success with egg production
must begin with breeding. When you
have hen that will lay large num-
Der of eggs each month during the
winter, breed from her. The trait OF
superior egg production is a habit
that may be acquired and transmitted.
A hen whose ancestors were poor lay
ers cannot be expected to be a good
layers. No amount of coaxing or cod
ding with mash or feed will induce
her to produce an unusual number of
eggs, because the trait of superior
egg production was not acquired by
her ancestry and could not therefore
be transmitted to her.
The selection of the male to head
the flock should not be neglected. He
should have been bred from pro-
ductive ancestry. The male is half

END OF HISTORIC HOUSE
Residence of Nine. de Seviene of Paris
to Be Turned Into Homes for
Workmen.

Paris.-One of the residences of
Madame de Sevigne, whose letters re-
vealed so much OF the inner history OF
France during the days of "le grand
monarque," is about to lose fits his,
toric character. 1t is a country house,
near LiVry, on the way to Gargan, and
1t used to be called Madame de Sc
vignes "folie." "Folie" was a name
given in the days of Louis XIV, and in
later years 20 any country seat over
which an owner INDUCED an uncom-
non fancy in the matter of its design.
One of the characteristics of
Madame de Sevigne's 'folie" was
quaint, little chapel, and near it a Gu
rious sort of belfry, which long ago
fell into ruins. The rest of the cha
teau is fairly well preserved. 1t was
in this quaint residence that Madame
de Sevigne is believed TO have writ
ten many of her letters to her daugh-
ter.
1t is now sharing the fate of many
a similar relic OF the past. 1t is being
transformed into a modern resort OF
utility, An association providing cot
tage accommodations for the working
classes has obtained possession of the
house and grounds. The old hall has
already been converted, and, with the
additions I'm progress, it will become
a vast caravansary of about 100 rooms.
with as many kitchens and offices.
Most Of the old walls will remain
standing, but the transformation will
be Such that future visitors will hard
ly recognize any vestige of Madame de
SeyigneA "folie."

HUNTING IN
So. JERSEY GOOD

WILLIAMSTOWN, Nov. 12.-The
fourth annual trip of the Williams
town Hunting Club ended last week
and the members had some good
sport in the deer woods. Tents were
pitched on the, banks of the Egg Har-
Dor river. the party consisting of
President Nathaniel Ellis. Secretary
William C. M~cIlvaine, Treasurer A.
s. Ireland, Captain Louis DeHart.
Driver Harry White, Watson DeHart
and George Hendrickson, guards and
trailers, and the following trustees:
Joseph Steelman, Samuel DeHart and
Charles Rennebaum. On the opening
day the gunners for deer took their
stands until compelled to seek shell
ter from the driving rain without so
much as getting a shot, but the next
day they were far more successful.
George Hendrickson wounded a four
snag buck that escaped, but toward
noon Harry White killed a spikebuck.
A. S. Ireland had an excellent shot at
a large buck, but before he could
set his gun trained on the fleeing deer
he vas out of range.
Monday yielded better results.
White made his first drive and cor
rallied seven deer, of which Watson
DeHart killed a s~pikebuck and
wounded a foIr-snag deer thai was
later shot by some hunters from
Winslow and Cedar Brook. Camp
was broken in the afternoon to enable
the members to get home to vote.

Princeton Varsity and the

PRINCETON, Nov. 12.-Darkness
was the only thing hat could stop
the Tigers yesterday in Their frantic
struggles to get ready for Yale. A
rapid signal drill warmed the men up
for an hour and a quarter of
desperate strife with lief H~erring's

So much has to be crowded into
these last few days that the men of
both teams were kept at it without
let-up during the whole afternoon.
The scrimmage was divided, as usual.
into periods of defensive and often
sive work for the regulars. The at
tack was marked throughout by lots
of spirit, and proved satisfactorily
successful in the short time it was
tried, but the defense was married by
the same weakness which it has
shown all season. When facing the
attack the forwards seem less conf
dent.
The scrubs took on several of the
strongest men they could pick up out

former All-Western star, played at
