QUALIFICATIONS OF
HENS FOR BREEDING
Foundation of Success in Poultry
Keeping Is Ability to Rear
Vigorous Chicks.

A most pernicious idea appears to
be gaining ground in regard to the
qualifications of a hen for breeding.
The number of eggs she will lay is
apparently the only passport 20 the
breeding pen, regardless OF develop
ment or constitution. BY all means let
us have the prolific hens for this pur-
pose, but let us see to it that they are
otherwise qualified.
The foundation of success in poul-
try keeping is ability to hatch and
rear strong, virile chickens, and
these can only result from strong'
well-developed and well-cared-for par
ents. This also applies to the subse-
quent egg production. Therefore 1t
follows that if hen is weedy and run
down she is not a fit subject for
breeding, no matter how many eggs
she has laid. But it does not follow
that a good layer should be discard
ed as a breeder. That would be 60
ing to the other extreme, but what
should be insisted upon is bodily de-
yelopment Of sufficient proportions
and strength to indicate a breeder OF
robust stock.

Padded warriors" and "mOleskin
artists" as football terms have be-
come obsolete. So have a great many
other epithets which have applied to
football as it was played ten years
ago. The term "gridiron," when
speaking of football field, has really
lost it's significance, even though it is
the generally accepted word for a
football field. The reason that these
terms have lost their significance Is
chat the game of football is changing
until it, like all other sports, is now
hardly recognizable as the game that
was played ten years ago. There may
have been a set of moleskin trousers
worn by some player, sometime. How
ever, it's a dead cinch that the aver
age trousers which were called mole
skins were rank limitations. They are
considered too heavy for use general
ly, and it is a safe bet that there is
not now a college player in the coun-
try who uses even the imitation.
The gridiron, as it used to be, has
given way to a field on which there
is but one set of lines, these being the
lateral ones. The parallel ones have
been abolished altogether.
Unnecessary Equipment.
The tendency among football play
ers and coaches of the present day is

enough to win her Love which IL
built upon deceit is built upon the
quicksands-and is too treacherOus to
last for q long length OF time.
Only honorable, truthful love proves
happy and enduring What man can
trust absolutely the woman whom he
knows is false to the mother who
loves her. has faith in her and con
fides in her, hoping for good results?
The habit of deceit is fearful ore,
and leads to many woman's undoing.
One of the poets has said and with
much truth:
OH what a tangled T-sb' we weave
When first we practice to deceive.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that the lover who seeks advice is
sometimes the very one who tempts
the girl to meet him and mot tell
mother" A man should be honorable
in principle, and not lend himself to
such subterfuge as that of deceiving.
Rest assured, he would be apt to hear
of it accusingly after marriage, and
to be reproached for his guilt @
1t is cowardly to shift all the blame
on the woman. Often she is penitent,
and makes up for deceiving by becom'
ing most truthful. The sweetheart
was inclined to deception by her low
er. He respects her penitence, howev'
er, as does her mother. Both have
been taught that it is grand to be
candid with mother.

aged by mold, such material may
often be eaten by cattle when it would
poison horses or sheep. Timothy hay,
which is the standard roughage for
the horse, is unsatisfactory for the
dairy COW, and may cause serious
trouble with sheaS on acccunt of it's
constipating effect.
Feeding cows a heavy allowance
of ground and soy beans produces UNI
duly soft butter, while an excess OF
cocoanut meal makes the butter too
hard. Peanuts and soy beans produce
soft lard when forming too large a
part of the ration of fattening pigs.
It is often highly beneficial to add
wheat bran or linseed meal to the
ration on account of their slightly
laxative effect. On the other hand,
when animals are already receiving
such laxative feeds as silage, pasture
grass, and legume hay, the use of
bran or linseed meal may be unwise.
With the horse and with young
ruminants the ration must contain
some roughage to distend the diges-
tive tract properly. Furthermore, for
the best results the proportion Of con-
centrates and roughage in the ration
should be regulated according to. the
kind and class of animal to be fed
and the results sought. Cattle, sheep,
and horses can be wintered satisfac-
torily on roughages alone, if of suit
able quality. Even brood sows may
be maintained chiefly on legume hay,
when not sucking their young. In
the rations for growing and fattening
a considerable part of the ration
should consist of concentrates.

The trousers nowadays are not
padded at all. They are of canvas
material with piece of mica on the
inside to protect the thigh. The knees
have absolutely no protection, while
players in some schools use piece
of felt to protect the hips. Other
schools, Purdue, for instance, use a
pair of felt pads which are put under
everything else and which protect not
only the hips, but also the ribs. These
pads are not used, however, except
by players who are in danger of in
juring some already sore spot.
Shin Guards Abolished.
The shin guards have been abol-
ished altogether. The shin guard
makers have not suffered, however,
as they found friend in need in Rog-
er Bresnahan, the present manager of
the Chicago Cubs, who appeared on
the Polo grounds some years ago
wearing shin guards to protect him
self from foul tips. Now every catch.
er and umpire in the country boasts
a pair of them.
The shoes are of a light leather,
with no pads in them and no wooden
blocks for the kickers' toes. The bot.
toms are literally lined with cleats
to enable the player to get a foothold
on any kind of ground.
In most cases the jerseys are abso-
lutely unpadded, with the occasional
exception that player puts pad on
his elbow. Instead of shoulder pads,
contraption known as shembles is
used. Shembles are leather harness
which fits over the head. protecting the
shoulders, collar bone and breastbone.
They are worn inside the Jersey and
are responsible for many of the sets
of wonderful shoulders so much ad-
mired by goods in football players.

INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime, Accord
ing to English Test.

From careful records taken OF ~
Shorthorn COWS it was found by an
English agricultural society that the
average CESSATION periods OF COWS
bearing bull calves was 2SS.91 days;
of COWS bearing heifer calves 2S3.1o
days. The longest period in the
former was 297 days, and the short
est period 280 days; in the latter 29o
and 274. The average weight OF ting
bull calves was S9.45 pounds; that OF
the heifer S2.5 pounds. 1t was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf in each case.
1t was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from cows in their
prime; that is, ranging from five to
seven years of age; after that age the
calves appear to become smaller at
birth. 1t is thought safe to take an
average of 285 days as the period OF
CESSATION and "a pounds as the av'
erage weight of Shorthorn calf at
birth.

TESTS OF COST OF
MILK PRODUCTION
Study Made by Cornell IN. "
Experiment Station With
834 Cows in So Herds.

From study made by the Cornell
IN. W experiment station of the
costs incident to milk production for
334 dairy COWS with full years records
in So dairy herds iii Jefferson county,
N. Y, it was found that Z of the So
herds, comprising 81 cows, were kept
at loss of $1,335.71.
On the basis of net cost and actual
receipts, 161 cows, or 10 per cent of
the total number, caused a loss to
their owners of $1,799.S7, or $11.1S per
COW. The average production was
6,621 pounds Of milk and 241 pounds
Of milk fat. The milk was produced
at net cost of 1.21 cents, and the
milk fat at 1873 cents per pound.
The average selling price of the
milk was 1.52 cents per pound, an1
the net profit per cow was 5000. The
net cost per COW was SS0.24 and the
receipts were $100.6S. The average
cost of feed per COW was $51.57 and
the labor cost $22.12. The average
cost of delivering 100 pounds of milk
2.14 miles was III cents. The profit
from COWS yielding 10000 pounds OF
milk year was 81 per cent greater
than from those yielding 5000 pounds

BOXING HtRD TO ESTABLISH
One Is Caused to Wonder Why An.
eient Art of SeIf-Defense Is Over
looked by Colleges.

Efforts of Manager Balfour of the
University of Pennsylvania boxing
team, to arrange intercollegiate meet
ing causes one to wonder why the an.
cient and honorable art of self-defense
stands no better than it does in uni
versity circles.
All the colleges and universities, or
most all, have wrestling teams, and
annually these teams meet in that
bone-wrecking, muscle-tearing game
of the mat. 3EAH as
Boxing is much prettier and is more
generally applicable to affairs of life
The fear probably is that the boxing
would develop into slugging, that bad
blood would develop among rivals not
alone for intercollegiate honors, but
for places on the boxing team, and
that in the end nothing but harm
would be the result. It is the i'm
preston that some such results fol-
lowed an effort at intercollegiate box
ing some years ago, but the matter is
hazy. 4 us

HRIDDERS AS SOLDIERS
FootbaIlers and Cyclists Prove
Heroes IN European War.
Many French Stars Have Been Kil.ed

Nearly all the football stars of
France are either on the "gridiron"
Of Flanders or rushing German lines
along the Aisne, and they are making
themselves heard from. Augustin Joue,
football star of Perignan, in the
Nineteenth dragons, was promoted
lieutenant on the battlefield for hav-
ing rescued q fallen comrade and
carried him out Of the fire zone under
severe fire. Plenus, another main
stay of the French Sporting associa-
ton, was promoted lieutenant for
rushing single-handed detachment
Of Germans who were in the act of
capturing French cannon. He bay
oneted them, one after another, and
alone succeeded in bringing the gun
back into the lines.
Cyclists also have done great work,
both in the French and Belgian
armies.
Auguste Troussellier, the youngest
of the Troussellier brothers, we'll
known professional riders, was killed
during the battle of the Aisne while
charging the German trenches. Pelle-
grin, NORM and Jauzin, crack cycle
racers, were all killed during the bat
lie of the Marine. Henri Olivier,
Denoualt, all three members of the
Racing club football team. also were
killed during the fighting around Lune-
vile. Rene Eller a, another favorite
Of Paris gridirons, was wounded at the
taking of Altkirch. Fencing circles
have also furnished a number of good
fighters. most of whom have been
incorporated IN the flying corps.

the right way was only gone ABOUT, as
Providence intends.
In the first place, they must not
start in to think that romances spring
up from flirtations, coquetry and
liking from the first devotee that
crosses ones path. If the dissatisfied
could only get away from this unrea-

COVERED SHED FOR
STOCK GAINS FAVOR
To Obtain Best Results Cement
Floor Should Be Provided
Shelter for Animals.

One of the most popular methods OF
caring for manure is the covered
shed. To obtain the best results the
shed should be provided with a &C.
ment floor inclined at each end to
allow spreader to be run in at one
end and out at the other; the sides
should be sufficiently high to contain
all the manure to be stored.
The manure should be placed evenly
over the floor, and that from horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs mixed to pre-
vent, as far as possible, aerobic fer
mentation, and consequent loss OF nj
trogen. The cattle in the yard should
be allowed to trample over 1t and 1t
may be worked over by the hogs with
out much danger of loss.
In addition to being storehouse
for manure, the shed furnishes shei'
ter for farm animals which will com
pact the manure so that the aeroDic
fermentation responsible for the loss
of nitrogen will be largely prevented

WHEN BACHELORS MARRY.

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers, ever
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant-never.
l used to be under the impression
that very few bachelors would ever
marry. But in this respect | have
changed my mind 1t is my belief that
there never yet was man so sure
of his powers for unloving who lived
all of his years without some ro-
nance
He may never have had proof that
he had a heart for someone until he
was aroused to the consciousness by
it's sudden loss. UP to that hour OF
awakening he supposed he was en-
joying his solitary existence immense

ton to his careless appearance when
he hustles to his breakfast, with collar
and necktie on he had worn for days.
if she was in a quarrelsome mood and
accused him of plunging at races, ex-
travagance in automobile treats,
whirling through space in airships,
and all, that. she fancied kept pace
with his restless nature.
The jolly bachelor is not mystery
to those who observe him, yet only
know him from afar-a puzzle as they
imagine him to be. More than one
suspects that his heart has been
pretty well pierced by loves flaming
arrows. Like a public conveyance,
there is always supposed to be room
for one more. Bachelors have been
known to call and have friendly lit
Gle chat with former sweethearts once
in a great while, but he don't care to
marry any of those who struck his
fancy so that he was almost sure he
would be happy if he popped the ques-
ton.
After breaking off with a few who
claimed his steady attention, he feels
that he is not half the gay, sought,
after man, the would-be catch of the
fair sex, that he thought himself to
be. His opinion of himself has gone
down. He takes extra precaution not
to show his heart wounds to the un-
feeling world. He is sure to be
watched with pardonable curiosity
when he is brought in contact with
the single of the. fair sex. Habit is
everything with the bachelor; from
being a free lance, angled for by fair
women More than one pretty parlor
he has found irksome, tame, com.
pared to club, theater of mems
company Most all bachelors have
their pet theories and mental pic
lures. Friends and old sweethearts
do not always cater to them.
1t is often, when he comes across
some poor, but honest, village or city
young woman, that his heart sudden
ly warns. She is his personificatiOn
of innocence. She treats all men sim
ply, with pleasantneSs. It's hard for
them to tell if she is given to par

eyes are not like those who seek con
quests, but have the bewitching I'M

craved for? Then. they jump to the
conclusion that it's good-by single life

GOLF FOR H0ME AMUSEMENT
Machine Made for Indoor Use Which
Shows on Dial Distance Ball Would
Be Carried by Stroke.

Designed for use on the lawn, in the
home gymnasium, or on the decks
of steamer, small golf machine has
been constructed which registers the
length of a drive and indicates how
the ball would have flown; whether
it would have gone high, clearing a
bunker, or low, had it been free. 1t is
made to be attached to some solid
base and has captive ball held at one
end of an arm, the other end of which
is fitted with a ring that slips over a
spindle This latter member is also
at the end of pivoted arm, attached
beneath which is an indicator that
moves over the face of a dial when the
ball is struck. TIE force of the stroke
revolves the ball about the spindle
and moves the latter member and its
arm forward. This registers the force
