''HoId On Ford One
of Great Shooters
Reasons for the Handle to the Name Of the New
Instructor Of Shooting at Olympic Club
Worthy Of Repetition.

One of the greatest characters in the
transporting game-also one of the
greatest shots the world ever knew--is
Grin n Ford, who has just assumed the
position Of instructor of shooting at the
Olympic club, San Francisco, Cal.
While Ford has resided on the west
coast for the past six years he has been
actively engaged in trapshooting for q
score of years, and his travels have taken
him into every part Of North America.
Places that he hasn't been at know him
anyhow.
In the trapshooting world mention of
Hold On Ford will always get laugh
A trio Of mistakes that occurred in 1917
caused the grayhaired shooter to be SO
dubbed" Ford has q wonderful mem
ory and can recite practically everything
Of Importance that has happened in 20
years at the places where he has shot
and the yarns do not get any the worse
for telling. II you should ever 60 to a
big shoot and you should see a. gang,
make up your mind that Fold On"
Ford is telling some Of his experiences.
They are worth listening to, too.
Reason for "HoId On Ford"
Here is how Hold On" became at
tached TO his name:
Shooting at st. Louis, he was going
along fine, until some one discovered that
mistake had been discovered as Ford put
up his gun to shoot AS he was ready
to call pull the cry was heard, Hold
on. Ford" The score was Strengthened
out and Ford shot, missing the target.
That miss cost him a run of 300.
Later in Los Angeles the very same
thing occurred The score was wrong
1t was another case of Hold on, Ford"
and again he missed when shooting was
resumed. This miss cost his run
Of 300.
Then the proceedings shifted to Ray
Ariz. In this meet Ford was knocking
over the targets better than at any time
during the year. Some one put an 0
where a ! should be, and the mistake
wasn't noticed until it was Ford's turn to
shoot; in fact. not until he was in readi-
ness to bust the clay. Then came out
The mistake was rectified and Ford shot
and missed This miss cost him a run
of 31s.
And the high run of 1917 was os4
DO you wonder that Ford talks Of his
misfortunes?
The Jonah followed him on the 1913
travels. At Minneapolis an engine pulled
up alongside Of the shooting grounds and
made a lot of noise. but no attempt was
made to stop the shooting until it was
Ford's turn. Then the old order. Hold
on. Ford" came through. When shoot
ing was resumed Ford came back in his
usual well-known form and-missed.
In the preliminary handicaps ii the
NJ. I. n. K. s. shoot in Omaha, Dr. Sto-
RE got behind. Az Boyen shot cut Of
turn. and when Ford was all balanced to
turn his shot loose the scorer turned out
that melodious call, Hold on, Fordw
Everything was fixed UP fine, and then
Ford continued On in the ever tenor of
his ways by missing the next target n.
shot at.

There you have the reason for Hold
on, Ford!"
There is a system here. Any time you
want to see Ford miss target just get
the scorer to shout, Hold on, Ford"
Then wait for the returns. This Hold
ON business with Ford is anything but
d joke. 1t is so serious that he threatens
to retire from active competition. He
thinks some one has jinxed him, or in
better English, that some one has put a
curse on him.
Be that as it may, Ford did some
mighty creditable shooting in 1918. 1t Is
doubtful if better shooting has ever been
DONE He travelled 10000 miles, shot in
y cities, in II states and in one Cana
dian province. He averaged .9602 on
9,47Q targets in registered shoots and
with 200 additional targets in club
competition he averaged 1856 This, we
might insert. is remarkable average on
12,170 clays. Ford is rather proud of his
years performance, as we'll he should be.
Ford has 63 runs better than 5, Of
which nine were better than 100, and the
highest, 1877, in registered shoots, and
had Il additional runs in club competi-
ton. Twice in 1918 the missing Of a
single target had cost him runs of psf
and $50.

BROWN MEN
LAG AMONG THE
TRAP SHOOTERS
Gray and Blue-Gray Eyes Lend
Themselves to Proficiency
in Shooting.

Statistics computed by the war Depart
ment Of the United States government.
following an eight months test on the
rifle range at Camp Bowie, Texas, show
that proficiency in craftsmanship usually
runs according to the color of the eyes,
and in the following order:
Gray,
Blue gray,
Blue,
Hazel brown,
Brown,
Black.
Soldiers with eyes light brown to black
could not shoot with accuracy at dis
tance greater than 800 yards, according
to the records. and at 500 yards they
missed the records altogether.
This explains something We have
ofttimes wondered why Mexicans, whose
eyes as rule run from dark brown to
black, were the poorest shots in all the
world with rifle Now we know.
These rifle statistics proved interest
ing and made us curious to know how the
eye color idea would work ont in trap
shooting. 50 we wrote To 100 of the lead
ing trap shots, including all the state and
national champions, requesting them to
tell us the color Of their eyes, and SO
made reply, with this result:

Natural Incubation
Most farms employ the natural me-
thod of incubation and brocding by the
hens. 1t is often advisable to use
hens where only a small number OF
eggs are to be Matched One cannot
arrange 2 very definite schedule OF IN
cubation prior to April /, where the
use of hens is relied upon exclusively
Much of the dissatisfaction IN natur-
al incubation arises from mismanage-
ment. The room selected should be
sanitary and well ventilated In pre-
pairing the nest, three TO four inches
of sod should be placed n the bottom
Short cut straw or hay Is best TO use
as nesting material This nest should
be well rounded and corners filed up
The nests ought TO be large enough,
IL to II inches square, to give ample
roomfor the eggs and prevent unneces-
sary breakage- Whenever possible
the setting hens should not De allowed
in the same pen with the laying hens
Success in natural incubation de-
pends largely upon the type OF hen
used Select hens of medium size
which are gentle and easy TO handle.
Never use a nervous hen or one that
Is easily frightened
The hen must be kept free from lice
and mites. This can be done BY dust
ing her with a good powder and spray
ing the nest Keep the nest clean at
all times IL the nesting material be
comes soiIed. it should be renewed i'm
mediately. The eggs can be washed

tarninated with filth The hen ought

The eggs can be tested on the sew
