 The foundation plan of this house is approximately 31x36 feet. and is well adapted to the usual city house lot, as well as the more generous one in the country.
 AS already noted. the plan secures a privacy not usual in houses of this size the living room, dining room and private porch are all remote from the entrances, while g. cozy little den on the opposite side of the hall adds the final home touch.
 The living room of ample propor- tions-14x13 sfeet-is reached from the hall through @ columned entrance. This homelike room is all it's name implies. for it is provided with excel lent sunlight on two sides, while ac- cess to the private porch is gained through French doors. A cozy fire place with book case at one side com pletes the picture.
 The porch which could easily be con- verted into a sun room is 12x15 feet, and is accessible both from the living and dining rooms. An excellent dining room with handsome built-in china closet, a commodious pantry and kitchen with separate entrance com pletes the first floor arrangement.
 The second floor furnishes all that could be desired in the medium sized house-a splendid masters bedroom, l4x1S1z feet, accessible to a sleeping

TEN CASES OF EGGS
 IN NINETEENTH WEEK
Yield of Hens In Laying Contest at Storrs-Connecticut Pens Made Fine Showinu,

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs yielded a little over ten cases or eggs in the nineteenth week ending March 14, or 3634 to be exact. This IS lSO eggs more than they laid i'll the preceding week but not as good as the corresponding week last year by 235 eggs. They did, however. come up to last weeks prediction in that all pens
 taken together averaged to lay 52 per cent, The ten best pens for the week averaged to lay "A percent: thus 1f all Of the birds in the contest had laid as well as these ten pens it would have meant a yield of more than five thousand eggs instead of thirty-si hundred.
 Connecticut pens nearly succeeded in getting away with the three honor places for the week. They failed to make complete scoop because a Yer mont pen of Rhode Island Reds from St Albans tied Branford Farms White Rocks from GrotOn for third place, each having laid 52 eggs. B. P. Nase' s White Orpingtons from Thomaston, Conn., and StorrS Stations sour milk pen of Rhode Island Reds tied for first place with a production of 54 eggs each and the other experimental pen
 of Rhode Island Reds owned by the StOrrs Station made second with a yield of 53 eggs. Tom Barron's Eng fish Wyandottes and another pen of
 Rhode Island Reds from Groton, Mass, all laid 61 eggs each during the week. The Buff Leghorn hen that was re- ported to have laid such small eggs last week and the week before has now repeated for the third successive
 week and in consequence is out. This appears to be the first hen that has ever been disqualified and thrown out of the race because she could not lay
 eggs big enough to be of any use. The following table affords a com parison for tie first nineteen weeks

a Roman Catholic. the church of which he is 8 member is the best channel for his training. If he be a Hebrew boy, then the synagogue will train him in the faith of his fathers. If he be a, Protestant, the church of which he is an adherent should be the proper or ganization to give him an education in things that pertain to his allegience to God.
 In thus making available to boys of all classes a common meeting ground where they may play and compete and learn to know that the other fellow is not so much different from them selves. the Scout movement is per forming an important patriotic serv- ice.
 A Scout promises that upon his honor he will do his duty to God and his country and obey the Scout law: that he will help other people at all times and that he will keep him self physically, strong, mentally. awake and morally straight,
 The Scout law requires Scout first of all to be trustworthy. That means that he must not tell a lie, cheat or deceive, but keep every trust sacred. A Scout is loyal to all to whom loy- alty is due. including his Scout leader. his home, his parents. and his country.
 A Scout is helpful, prepared at all times to save life, help injured persons. and do at least one good turn daily. 4 Scout is friendly to ala brother to every other Scout 4 Scout is cour- teous, especially to women, children and old people, and he must not take pay for being courteous. 4 Scout is kind to animals and does not kill or hurt any living creature needIessly. A Scout is ojbedient. A Scout is cheer full even when facing hardship and drudgery. A Scout is thrifty. He works faithfully, wastes nothing and makes the best use of his Opportunf- ties A Scout is brave and does what he knowns is right fin spite of jeers and threats. A Scout is clean in body and thought, stands for clean speech. clean sport, clean habits, and travels with a clean crowd. Finally a Scout is reverent toward God. He is faith full in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion,

TROOPERS.
Those Which Meet the Requirements
 To Be Considered"

The first consideration for q poul- tryman who is deciding upon a new system of breeding should be the num- Der of chickens that he can incubate at one time, and therefore brood in orc flock. The breeders that are on the market at the present time can be divided into three classes: Those lowering 75-100; those lowering 200- 800, and those caring for over 300. It is important that this question be decided at first because at the present cost of fuel for all systems of brood ing it is not practical to handle chick ems very far below the actual capacity of the machine.
 The question of the comparative values of outdoor and indoor breeders should also be considered at the outset The indoor brOoder used in a colony house has every advantage over the socalled outdoor breeders that are sold by various incubator manufac- turers ready for use. The outdoor brooder Is much more expensive than the indoor brooder, costing from $15 to SIS and taking care of not more than 75 chickens properly, and only for about six weeks. When these brood CTS are used for chickens after that very badly and their growth stunted thereby. In using the colony house system, an indoor brooder of any type can be used. A brooder can be ob- LcLlIISu at cost WHICH call be moved from the colony house as soon as the chickens no longer re- quire heat leaving the bullets in the same building until they are fully ma tured and ready to go into laying houses. An outdoor brooder is an in- Vestment for not over six weeks out of 52, while the colony house can be used six months and for the full year in the case of handling laying hens in small flocks.
 Small chickens require a consider able quantity of exercise, sunshine and fresh air. None of these are supplied in very liberal amounts by an outdoor brooder, especially after the chickens are more than two weeks old. It is much easier to care for chickens in a colony house because practically all of the work done on the inside and the birds are bound to receive better at tention when the caretaker can handle them with a certain degree of com fort. Of the colony house breeders of the first class nearly every reputa- ble incubator company has several types at a cost of not more than $8, which are heated by safe kerosene lamps and are economical and practt-

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING

Scouting means outdoor life. and so health, strength, happiness and practi- cal education. This combination with the influence of the scout oath and
 law, tends to develop character. Scout craft includes instruction in first aid, life-having, tracking, signal ling, natures study, seamanship, camp craft, woodcraft, chivalry and all the handicrafts.
 Many parents object to scouting
 under the belief that their boys will be trained for a soldiers life. As an organization the Scout movement is
 not military in thought, form, or spirit, although it does instill in boys the military virtues such as honor, loyalty, obedience and patriotism. The uni form, the patrol, the troop and the drill are not for military tactics; they are for the unity, the harmony and the scouting. It is in the wearing of the uniform and doing things together as Scouts that they absorb the force and truth of the Scout law which states: "A Scout is a friend of all and a brother to every other Scout
 The movement has been developed on such broad lines as to embrace all classes, all creeds. It maintains that no boy can grow into the best kind of citizenship without recognizing his ob- ligation to God. No matter if the boy be Catholic, Protestant or Jew-this fundamental need of good citizenship should be kept before him.
 The Boy Scouts of America, as an
 organized body, therefor, recognizes the religious element in the training of & boy, but 1t is absolutely non-sec- tarian in its attitude toward that re-
 1igious training. If the Boy Scout be

It is understood that local man will be appointed manager of the company's interests in this city but as far as can be learned no ap- potntment has yet been made.

 Scout Aims and Ideals.
 The world interest in the Boy Scout movement challenges the intelligent understanding of everyone, and yet many people still ask, What is Scout ing What Do Boy Scouts Dor
 The Boy Scout idea is a movement rather than an organization. It aims to supplement existing organizations
 The aim of the Scout movement is to inculcate character, which, though essential to life. is not taught within the school and being a matter largely of environment, is too generally left to chance. often with deplorable re- suits. The Scout movement endeav- ors to supply the required environment and ambitions through games and out door activities. which lead the boy to become better man and a good cit iZen.
