 Despite reports to the contrary HInkey's appointment as coach was the cause of considerable surprise Even the players themselves felt sure that Jones would be back. All in all it was a pleasant Christmas surprise.
 Before the Harvard game it was stated that unless the team made a good showing Jones had decided not to return. After the game, however 1t was stated that Jones was coming back next fall. Then Talbot was elect ed and rumor spread that Jones had. business opportunity that he could not turn down
 Captain Talbot and the football com mittee. however, refused to give out any hint in regard to what was to be done. Hinkey returned to New Haven last week and the rumor was again revived that he was to succeed Jones. Whether Jones' retirement was voluntary is not stated It is known however, that the older coaches have advised the appointment either of Hinkey or of Dr. w T. Bull as head coach
 Hinkey will. it is understood, settle down in New Haven and devote him self to football His appointment will meet with favor among the old play CTS who know him and have great

Toys for Baby.

Among dozen toys that have been given my baby there were two rattles with hard rings at the ends-just right for a baby to stick down his throat. There was 8 ball trimmed with loosely sewed bells that the baby immediately pulled off and put in his mouth. There was a worsted ball, so fuzzy that it furnished mouthfuls Of lint. The only thing that it was pos sible to leave him with was rubber ring too large to get in his throat Exchange.

FREEZING IN sILo
Much of the Trouble Caused by
Freezing Can Be Easily
Prevented

None of the types of silos put up
on the market so far will keep silage
In this latitude without more or less
freezing taking place during the win
ter months, although those having
air spaces in the walls seem to freeze
somewhat less than the type having
solid walls.
Experience has shown, however.
that freezing can be kept within rea-
sonable limits in silos Of any common
type by the exercise Of little extra
care. A good tight roof should be
provided and the doors should be kent
closed as much as possible to prevent
circulation of air above the silage and
to keep in the heat generated by the
silage-
In using, it is important to keen
the surface of the silage level or even
trile high in the middle, not allow
ing hole to form in the center as
is sometimes done when silage begins
to freeze around the edges. We have
not had any bad results from feeding
frozen silage, but it viii not keen
long after thawing out. Since most Of
the freezing is due to cold air above
the silage it is possible to afford con-
siderable protection by keeping the
surface covered with hay or straw,
or better still, blanket of canvas.
# IN addition to these precautions
it is convenient to build the silo ii !
sheltered place there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

believe we will be able to do a great
deal of good for the cattle raisers of
the state"
Feed Fowls Meat
Meat in some form must be fed to
poultry. They must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain a
sufficient supply of animal matter, but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food in another form.
Finely chopped fresh meat is an ex-
cellent bone and muscle builder for
the young stock, but should not be
fed more often than two or three
times a week. Green bone, freshly
cut just before feeding, is equally as
beneficial, but must also be fed with
Judgment as to how much and how
often. Meat foods assist feather.
bone, muscle and comb development.
consequently too much is apt to cause
too much forcing along these lines.
