It iSrecommended in this report that any future census should consider three classes of physical disa ability: No disability, implying competence for civil occupation and presumba1y for military duty; partial disability. im-. plying competence for civil occupa- ton but presumably ,incompetence for military duty; and complete disability. For this purpose. 1t is recommended that this section of the census blank be made more specific. In addition to ruling on claimed disability, the medi- cal~director reports having undertaken a plan for the mobilization of the medical resources of the state in the event Q1 war, including physicians, nurses and other essentials Tho as- sistance of several volunteers aided in the medical directors work.

 Census of Nurses.
 The course followed in taking tho census of trained nurses is described in the report Of Houghton Bulkeley. who had charge of this branch of the work. Blanks were mailed to all nurses on lists compiled from the best available source. Returns were sort ed In two main divisions, those with, dependents aud those without de- pendants. These. in turn. were sorted according to willingness to serve. Tele- phone lists of nurses were prepared. made out by zones, fifteen of which were placed around cities and large towns in which there are hospitaIs. Nearly 1000 of these nurses, available for service. arc on these final lists.
 
 Publicity Service.
 In his report as director of pub- licity service. Aubrey l.. Maddock say. Connecticut newspapers, without exception, responded Loyalty and gen. erouely to the call made upoe them for co-eperation in the census. The opportunity was given to the press of the state to respondsto . call for pa- tr1otic service, and the response dem- 0hstrated-if any demonstration was necessaAV-thA readiness of Connec- tfcut newspapers to stand back of the state or nation in . matter of con- structive patriotism" The state news- papers gave much space to the con- sus work and nationwide interest by the press resulted in widespread pub. icity of the methods and purposes of the Connecticut military census,
 Women Volunteers.
 Mrs. Richard M. Bissell, in her re- port, outlines the work done by wom- en volunteers. showing that these were of considerable assistance in reducing the expense of the head quarteNe work. These women assist ed in tho coding of returns. Each one did a particular branch of the coding and became proficient in it.
 Receiving Returns.
 Raymond H. Title outlines in his report the plan by which completed returns was received. These were scanned for errors when they ar- rived, were sorted for refusals. non- residents, incomplete blanks and sdup- lications, and were dated and count ed.

 Checking DupIicztioT4s.
 Richard A. Perry reports on the matter in which Implications were culled from the census result. Prompt attention was given, by his depart-' ment to each individual blank. and care taken that possible duplicaticns he checked up. even to the extent Of sonding them back to the towns -AcG cities.
 Numbering and Cooling.
 Charles W. Jaynes and W. A. Havi- land report for the numbering and coding and card writing department. Their report outline4 we'll the process each blank went through when re- ceived. Each census blank and aoe companying card received duplicate serial numbers Girls were able to number about 500 blanks and cards an hour. By starting the workers at numbers 1000 apart and carefully changing the stamps when 1000 blanks had been numbered, 1t was possibie to use several girls on this work Cards and blanks together then went to the card writing depart ment, where the name And address of each individual as given on the cen sus blank was swritten on a card boar ing the corresponding number. The cards then went to the filing depart ment and the blanks to the coding de- partment. The coders. using red pen- cils, wrote code. numbers for towns. nationalities, occupation, military ser vice and other information on the blanks over the written replies to the census questions. The coding was inspected after completion. A list was kept of those expressing on their blanks an unfavorable attitude toward the government of the United States. Recommendations for the future, based on the experience of this department, are made. These are intended to leave no doubt in the mind of the census taker as to the exact information wanted. It Is also suggested that two questions. Are you an interpreter: what language ?'' and Are you good cook?" be add ed to, the blanks.
 Thbulation Department.
 The work of the tabulation depart ment is described in the report of Miss Myrtle c. Lawson. This department secures the statistics and classification which make the information of the census available for actual use. The punch card system, was adopted. mak- ing rapid sorting and tabulation by machines possible. Card punchers transfer to special cards the informa- tton on the coded census blanks. The census blank and filing card number are punched in this tabulation card. These are all verified. The machines sorting the cards do the work by electrical contact at the rate of 15, 900 an hour. Another machine tabulates 5000 cards an hour. Any combina- ton or classifcations are possible. Forms have been prepared for the tabulations.

If this breeding of related birds is done intelligently, with the view to fixing superiority in color, shape and so on, it is called Tine breeding" If the breeding of related stock is done indiscriminately and brothers and sis- ters are bred together for generations for no particular purpose, it is called "in- breeding"
 In other words, '1ine-breeding,' or breeding in line, is keeping to the same ancestry--the same blood lines, without the disastrous effects of fin breeding.' It is carefully selected, systematic in-breeding.
 Out-breeding" is term applied to the practice of introducing new blood every year, but such blood is of the same breed Gross breeding is in troducing entirely new blood of a dis tinctly different breed.
 Through fear of the flock degenerating ng many poultry raisers consider it abso- lutely necessary to bring in new males each year. Very often they make prac- tice of exchanging males with nearby farms, which is the vogue among farm CTS, especially. This is inspired by the right idea, but it is likely to be accom- panied by trouble. If it is desirable to introduce new blood the rule should be to do so-not just because 1t Is new

blood, but, also, because 1t is superior to your own in vigor and other ways.
 It is very difficult to raise standard bred birds if new blood is added to the flock each year. You may buy 8 pure bred male to mate with your pure-bred females, and later find that the two strains failed to nick properly. That is, the mating may throw offspring with defective combs, disproportion or poor color, which will take several generations of special breeding to eliminate. In short the advent of new blood is specula- tion

ROSE COMB BUFF LEGHORNS

they are less liable to stop laying in winter because of frosted combs.
 Rose Comb Buff Leghorns are one of the most popular varieties In color they are soft, golden buff the shade of a new gold coin. Their bright red combs and wattles and white earlobes make g. pleasant contrast to their handsome plumage and yellow legs. The chicks grow and feather rapidly, the bullets reaching laying maturity at about four months. The hens are nonsitters and great layers, and probably do their best on free range, although they will give profitable returns when yarded.
 AS table poultry they have the same qualities as other Leghorns, being most profitable at broiler age-eight weeks. They are the Jersey cows of poultry intended to produce large numbers of eggs rather than meat.

No family of fowls is so generally dis tributed throughout the civilized coun- tries as the Mediterranean breeds. Chief among these are the Leghorns, other- wise known as ''egg machines" It is a well-known slogan that the hen that lays is the hen that pays" and wherever eggs are wanted some variety of the Leghorn or Spanish breeds is selected.
 There are eight varieties of Leghorns. Three of these are bred with rose combs as well as with single combs. The ad- vantage of the rose combA is obvious. Leghorns are the greatest of layers; nevertheless cold winters frost large sin gle combs, and a hen with a frosted comb is sick hen and seldom lays.

Definitions of Breeding Methods

Primarily, it is not advisable to make practice of mating birds more closely related than first cousins and the more distant the relationship can be drawn apart the better the chances for suc- cess. In making start with a flock of fowls, however, if one wishes to pre- serve the same strain of blood. or in creating a new breed, it is usually nee essary to breed fairly close for num- Der of years, or until certain quali- fications become intensified and fixed.

SOME FACTS AND FALLACIES
 IN THE MATTER OF BREEDING
Exchanging Males Or Add ing New Blood Except for a Definite Purpose Is Wrong Definitions of Breeding Methods and the Number of Males Re- quired
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG Expert Poulfryman and Writer

It IS pretty generally agreed that the greatest impeachment to success in poultry raising is the inability to mate birds of the required type. The custom with most poultry raisers is to trap nest their hens, or else guess at their prolificness. and then use the sons of these heavy layers to head future breeding pens. This is a step in the right direction, but the trouble with this method is that while the hen may lay large number of eggs, she may not have the faculty to transmit her laying qualities to her offspring. More cver, her cockerels may be deficient iA both egg laying qualities and the ability to transmit certain other good characteristics which they might pos sess The following article is a dis cussion of breeding methods-setting forth some facts and fallacies
 In the minds of many who raise chickens and other fowls there is but one idea and one kind of breeding that of mating male and females, re- gardless of type, strain, variety, pro- lificness or relationship Needless to add that such matings sooner or later usually sooner-prove of little value to their owner and are finally com pletely dissipated. It is natures way of eliminating the unfit.
 To be precise there are the follow ing methods: 'In-breeding." line breeding" tout breeding" and "cross- breeding;' and-shall we say-no breeding at all, meaning rank mon
