STATE GETS A POULTRY EXPERT
&. ID. Horton Becomes sMissourps Hen
Doctor" at Mountain Grove.

The Missouri State Poultry Expert
ment Station at Mountain Grove. in
extending the scope of its work in pre-
vention and cure of poultry diseases,
mas secured the services of Prof. G. d.
Horton as bacteriologist. Professor
Horton was graduated from the Con-
necticut Agricultural College at Storrs
with the degree of B. S. in 1911. He
was graduated from Yale University
with degree of NJ. s. in 1913, and won
the government scholarship for poul-
try work done at the experiment sta
tion.
From 1913 to 1915, he was instruc-
tor at the Oregon Agricultural College
and had charge of the poultry disease
work there.
Professor Horton now becomes
"MissOuri's Hen Doctor" and the Mis-
souri, State Poultry Experiment Sta
tion is anxious to have poultry breed
ers who may have sick birds express,
charges prepaid, a sick one from
each flock, to the station for a dag
nosis of the trouble
Professor Horton will devote con-
siderable time to research work.
Blood samples will be taken by sta
ton employees wherever it is possible
to visit fiocks, at a cost to the owner
of cents bird, and fiocks which are
free from germs will be certified. In
one years time he reduced the baby
chick mortality in a large Oregon
flock from IS per cent to 2 per cent
Professor Horton makes the follow
ing statement about disease:
ITO raise strong. vigorous, healthy
chicks, you must breed from strong,
vigorous, healthy stock. The problem
is to weed out the unhealthy infected
fowl. This can be done easily oy
means of the blood test.
About a teaspoonful of blood is
taken from the wing vein of each fowl,
not enough to hurt the fowl, and this
blood is used for the test. Now is the
time to attend to your breeding stock.
Prevention is better than cure"

, The Hooking of substitutes in the
last period has been stopped. and no
re-substitution will be allowed, ex-
cept at the beginning of period.
The rules committees recommend
ed that the players be numbered. This
experiment where 1t was tried last
season made a hit with the bleachers
and the committee will, in another
season or so, make the numbering of
players compulsory
AT the same time the committee.
passed a vote which deprecates put
ting in substitutes to convey informa-
ton. This use of the substitute privi-
iege was used extensively by coaches
last year and in all probability more
than deprecating vote will be nee
essary to do away with the practice.
In swapping the ball back, the CEN
ter may not hold it after he has made
the motion. He must actually let the
ball go. Coach Schulte's Tigers made
good use of a play outlawed by this
ruling during the last two seasons.
One working of 1t made a touchdown
against Illinois two years ago.
The presence of field Judge was
made obligatory.
The peculiar method of blocking
and interfering by men throwing their
legs up in the air has been eliminated.
For throwing the leg and striking
with the lower leg a man above the
knee penalty of fifteen yards will be
inflicted.
Several corrective changes are no.
uced in the rules. but none alter tn.

PECOUD CONTINUES DARING
EXPLOITS IN Game OF WAR

Paris, April 6, SIS A. M.-Another
daring exploit has, been added to the
long list of those successfully carried
out by Adolphe Pegoud, the famous
French aviator, who is reported to have
attacked and brought down German
Taube near Saint Menehould while he
was alone on patrol duty April 2.
The report of the incident says that
when Pegoud saw the German approach
ing he flew rapidly toward the hostile
air craft and sent it to earth with a
few well-placed shots. Pegoud then
landed beside the TauDe and took pris-
oner the German pilot and observer,
neither of whom was injured.
Earlier in the same day Pegoud is
reported to have driven off three other
German aeroplanes, one of which had
dropped nine bombs on a railroad sta
tion.
Pegoud, who first gained fame in
1918 as the originator of the feat of
flying upside down in an aeroplane, was
awarded the French military medal
early in March for services rendered
the army during the war.
