u dealt and bid no trump. Al some
tables. when A was a good player. he
passed. There is not the slightest hope
of going game at clubs against a no
trumper. but there is almost a certainty
of saving the game against Il. and a fair
chance of setting II.
At some tables Y passed when he
should have warned his partner that ne
had no a trick in his hand. At these
tables z was left to play the hand at no
trumps and was set for two tricks, less
80 aces. This is a net loss OF 20 points.
A led the king OF clubs, having three
honoIs, and u held up. BIS play is in
structive. He drops his second best club,
the nine. This marks him with the Jack
OF ace, but not both. The beginner
saould study this situation carefully, as
l. Is "A sood example of the value of the
Foster echo at no trumps when the third
han makes no attempt to win the trick.
IL B can be depended on to play his

sible. h has no more and the dealer
holds A ] s 6 3 or. Is has one more
higner than the nine. With five to the
ace jack, u would have no hesitation
about winning the king.
This inference led A to going right
along with a small club, but z still held

the queen with II, he went right on with

z dealt ana MD no trump. When A
passed Y called the clubs as a warning,
and strange to say at two tables he was
left to play It, as B did not feel equal to
going game in spades with a no trumper
on his left.
At one table Y was set for so points.
At another he just made his contract and
should have o so at the other table.
II led the singleton heart. which A won
and returned. Il making his little trump.
Il then tried the diamonds and dummy

his partners queen.

This allowed u to force BIS last trump
with the king OF hearts, after which Y
and Y made all the rest OF the tricks by
separating their trumps. How Y failed
to make his two on this hand the writer
could not discover. II Ia an i~nvincible

One Of the greatest mistakes a player
can make is to take the partner out OF
a no trumper with clubs or diamonds
when he IL strong In them and an equally
common mistake IL to assume hat the
takeout Is made on strong cards. Here
are two examples OF this error in both
Its aspects:

Y dealt and Ola no trumps. At some
tables A made the mistake OF bidding
two spades although he had the lead.
OF course he was left with II and set,
the play being rather peculiar and in
structive.
Y argued that his partner could not
lie very strong in hearts, and as A had
the spades the diamond would probably
be about right. Y won with the king and
led the queen OF hearts. which A refused
to cover. The ace and Jack followed. A
Put dummy In with the Jack OF clubs, so
as to lead trumps from that hand and
tike the fnesse. z played small, and
the queen won.
The next lead was the ace OF clubs,
which z trumped. The ace OF diamonds
came next. followed by a small one, and
a discarded the best club. so that dummy
might win the diamond and lead trumps
aSain. which he did. but the Jack Of
trumps forced AS ace, and the king Of
trumps made. setting the contract for
one trick.
At the tables at which A passed and Y
took u out with two clubs A felt COM
peeled to trot out his spade suit or let
the hand he played at clubs. As We
have seen. the spade contract will he set.
against the club contract at one table h
led a mail heart and A went back with
two rounds of spades. thinking his part
her might be sort. as dummy was long.
This allowed y TO discard a heart.
A won the trump lead that followed
with the Jack. but did not know what t.,
do next, dummy presenting a difficult
Iroposition to lead up TO. He led the
diamond, to prevent another trump lead.
but dummy led a small spade and Y
trumpet II, leading a trump. \ won this
trick and led another diamond. Dummy
led the ace and another heart, trumping
the trick and knocking the trumps to-
scther, so tr'at he just got his contract
against five honors.
At one table z made the mistake OF
thinking he could trust Y to stop the
clubs. n as he had all the other suits
himself he refused to heed the warning
OF the weak takeout and went back TO
the no trumper. bidding two. A doubled.
Y had given all the warning he thought
necessary and passed. with the result
that Y was set for 800 points.
A led the king OF clubs to have a
look. upon which b dropped the ten, and
A read him for the queen. that card
being marked in his hand II he was
playing the Foster echo. When A led
the club jack Il was sufficiently alive TO
the situation to overtake It and lead the
spades UP to weakness. A won the Jack
with the queen,
Having all the high spades but the
king, A led the eight, but Y held OF,
a risky play II A had a small club "a
lead. The ace and another spade
cleared up the suit for A. The only
thing left for Y was to try TO drop the
diamonds, which failed. and A got in
with the ace OF clubs to make his long
spade.
Here Is a rood example OF the error
OF taking the partner out Of a no
trumper with a minor suit when the
suit Is good for several tricks. When
the third hand has one suit almost solid
1t Is almost a certainty that the de-
clarer OF the no trumper has the three
other suits protected. The takeout IN
the minor suits should be reserved for
trickless hands. or hands that can go
game at advanced scores.

a rule Il takes about three weeks to
fatten properly the fowls that v been
on range.
Food should be left before the fowls
fifteen or twenty minutes at each feed
ing. after which the surplus should be
removed n the trough either removed
cr turned over. Little grit or green
foods are necessary while fattening. and
the bulk OF the liquid foo should be
sweet skim milk or buttermilk.
Corn is the most popular fattening
food in America. 1t Is cheaper than any
other grain II Is more easily secured /;
1t is readily digestible 1t is very palata-
BILE, and 1t prod ICES rapid gains. When
corn Is fed alone IL does not produce as
good quality OF meat as when fed with
other grains. Ground corn or cornmeal
mixed with oats or wheat middlings
makes an ideal fattening food. Where
yellow corn Is used to any great proper
ton OF the diet the skin and fat are
liable to be yellow in color and the fat
globules are not evenly distributed
throughout the tissues.
Where white flesh is not Objectionable
finely ground oats are often used as the
principal diet. Oat fed fowls not only
have white flesh. but the globules of fat
are evenly distributed throughout the
muscular tissues.
Bran is not a good fattening food and
in rarely used. BucKwheat or sunfower
seed may form part of the fattening ra-
ton. Buckwheat should not be fed too
freely. as the flesh produced is not con-
sidered the best quality. being more or
less iabby and lacking the lustre and
finish that specially fattcned fowls
should nave. Where the market demands
rich yellow kin and fat II is an advan-
tage TO use gluten In large quantities.
Fowls when ready for market should
he wrapped in parchment paper after
careful washing.
Small p~asteboard boxes. large enough
to hold one fowl, may be used. as they
make neat packages and are not expen-
sive.
For the average poultryman II must
be remembered that a select trade Is the
most profitable. but this class OF trade
cannot be held unless the product sup
piled is first class in every respect and
delivered in neat. attractive packages.

WEAK TAKEOUT BIDS
AT ROYAL AUCTION
Nothing Short Of Game or Sal
walton Of Partner Good
Rule in General.
SOME RECENT EXAMPLES

Every bid at auction has an answer.
Every declaration requires some express
sion of approval or ~disapproval from
the partner. One of the most important
of these expressions Is silence; another
Is the tnkeout.
As we have seen In previous articles.
when the partner bids no trumps he
does no more with a view to showing
general assistance for n safer declara-
ton thar with any idea OF playing
the hand at no trumps. The trouble
with most beginners IL that they will
not bid no trumps unless they want
to play the hand themselves.
There are three principal answer
to the no trump bid. The first and
most important is the takeout. with five
hearts or spades. Tit second Is silence;
which may mean that the partner Is per-
fectly satisfied with the bid. or that
he cannot do anything better. The
third Is the warning; tho brief notih-
cation to the declarer Of no trumps
that he Is In wrong.
IL II IL admitted. as II Is by all
good players. that nothing short Of win
ming or saving the game is worth play
ing for 1t should be clear to any per-
son OF ordinary intelligence that there
Is not much hope OF winning the game
on a bid OF one no trump IL the dummy
has not a single trick in his land.
II the no trumper Is strong enough
to go game without any assistance
from the dummy. the original bid should
have been two or three. II II Is only
an average assisting hand, protected In
three suits. declared as an offer to as
sist a declaration In a major suit. and
the partner has no such declaration, one
Of two conditions must exist He
can help the no trumper with a trick
or two. or he a not a trick In his
hand.
When the partner has a trick or two
anywhere and no i've card takeout in
n major suit he should let the no
trumper alone. When he has not a
trick in his hand he should warn the
declarer OF that fact at once Of the
second hand passes). and this warning
Is called the weak takeout. which is
governed BY the following rule:
II your partner bids no trump, and
second hand passes. and o have not
a trick in YOU hand. call any Ave card
suit. This includes the call OF a major
suit. but extends II to the minor suits,
clubs and diamonds. The takeout in
the major suit may be from great
strength. The taseout in the minor
suit is invariably from nothing at all.
The point for the beginner to re-
member is that II the clubs or dia-
monds are strong; II there are any
sure tricks in the suit. the rule does
not apply. because II Is only when there
is not a trick in the hand that one bids
a minor suit as a takeout of the part
ner's no trump.
The reason for refusing to Jake the
declarer out OF a no trumper with clubs
or diamonds Is hat II is too much TO

THOSE W.

THOSE Two TRfANGLEs.
This little puzzle seems to have at
tracted n good deal more attention than
its originator. w. q. Berry, expected.
and many attempts at reducing the num-
Der of pieces to less tina five " been
received by THE SUN during the past
week.. but only one is sound.
The problem was to cut up an equi-
lateral triangle In such n manner that
the pieces might be ~transpoeed to form
an isosceles triangle, whose height
should be equal to m of the sides OF
the equilateral, the solution sought being
the smallest number Of pieces that would
accomplish this. The composers solu-
ton required Ave, and no N could do
II In less.
Now comes Harry A. Sayles OF
Schenectady, whose very ingenious
transposition of pieces to form a square.
triangle and cross. were published In
this column not long ago, who offers
n solution to Mr.. Barry's problem that
reduces the pieces to four. Here is the
formula
