PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Keep Before Hens Constant Supply of High Protein Meat Scrap, Grit
 and Fresh Water.

Keep before the hens (hat you are using for winter egg production. a con stant supply of high protein meat scrap, complete grit, crushed oyster shell, and supply fresh. clean water abundantly and regularly. and see to it that the water does not become frozen iH cold weather. as there has been no invention forthcoming from our geniuses in this line of industry which will provide the chicken with an icepiek.
 Animal food is extremely essential in securing heavy winter egg yield. and as q rule. this can best be sup piled in the form of meat scrap, as it 1t the most economical and convenient form obtainable

A bullet does not ordinarily possess reproductive organs sufficiently well developed to produce such an egg. Therefore a bullet does not produce as good matching eggs and Is not as desirable for breeding purposes as is the yearling hen. The bullet must necessarily utilize some of her ener- gies in further growth and develop ment. After attaining her full size. she still has to fill out and mature. as we'll as strengthen her laying organs through use.
 Among the Mediterranean class of fowls. such as the Leghorn and Minor ca, the males seem to develop sexualiy more rapidly than the females. We'll developed Mediterranean cockerels are therefore very often used as breeders when mated with yearling hens. The ideal mating, however, for breeding purposes. is that of vigorous yearling cocks with well-developed yearling hens

DAMAGED WHEAT FOR FOWLS
Large Part of Crop Unfit for Milling Can Be Fed to Poultry-Hold

begged him to refrain from any ac-

fused. For what could the rascal
explain? He could not deny sending
the card. He could not claim it was
not a joke. This was not matter
to be triAed with. And yet he felt
that there must be something which
needed clearing up. He knew Max

Commonwealth Nine Help
less Before Wizardry

The Englewood Field Club won the
Amateur League baseball championship
for the second successive year by de-
feating the Commonwealth Club at En-
glewood yesterday, by score of TO 0.
Followers of the Field Club and those
Of the Commonwealth nine OF Upper
Montclair realized the Importance Of
the contest, and as a result the largest
crowd of the season looked on from the
grandstand, while hundreds we're lined
several feet along the right field foul

at right angles along the left and right
sides of the diamond and every one
was loaded to standing capacity.
Johnny Beckvermit and Eddie Bause-
vein, who are the two best twirlers Of
the league, were on the mound, and
they gave a rare exhibition Of pitching.
Beckvermit has not met defeat this
season, and he added to his laurels by
beating Commonwealth for the second
time.
Montclair was bewildered by the ter
rife speed, the change OF pace and a
tantalizing slow ball served up by the
Englewood pitcher. Only four scat
tered hits were gathered off Beckver-
nit. while he struck out thirteen.
Seven famed during the first three
innings.
Only three Commonwealth men

Lack of Candidates and
Money Brings Matter to
a Crisis, According TO
Rowing Club Official.

Rowing at Columbia has reached a
crisis, and there is grave danger that
the local university will be forced to
drop the sport for good and all. This
is the gist of an open letter addressed
70 the Columbia alumni yesterday by
y. Otis lockwood, graduate treasurer
of the rowing club. lockwood charges
q. undergraduates with lack of spirit
and frees Jim Rice, the veteran coach,
of all blame for the poor showing Of
the varsity eight at Poughkeepsie last
June
Rice will not leave Columbia during
the term of his present contract, which
has four years to run, and there IS
small danger Of his leaving at all If he
is accorded support of the RICH, kind
by the undergraduates, according to
lockwood.
"The conditions which we now face, "
says the lockwood letter, make me be-
lieve we are at 4 crisis. For the last
eight years interest in the sport has
been confined to smaller body of men
each year. Of course, Rice has ex-
pressed dissatisfaction. During the last
season there were times when not
enough men reported for the varsity
crews 10 form TWO elBHlS'
1.-THE entire varsity squad did not
number over thirty. In fact, there were
only eighteen men really eligible for
the two varsity crews. As for the
freshmen. of the squad of over fifty
men who reported at one time or an
other. seldom more than half reported
in any one day, and in the spring so
many had simply fallen out land n

that often there was not more than one

"The handicap of this condition quite
naturally is source of dissatisfaction,
not only to Jim Rice, but to those of
US who are working with him for Co
lumbia rowing. Moreover, Undergrad
uate help toward relieving the finances
of the Rowing Club is so lacking that
il is impossible to do great many
things which ought to be done.
"Rice was handicapped to the limit
