Not only do the ma ture fowls of these breeds, because or their larger size. make better table 1oWis than the Leghorns, but the young chick. ems flor the same reason make better flyers and coasters, whereas chickens of the egg breeds are suitable only for the smaller broiers.
 The general purpose breeds are also "broody' breeds, the hens making good sitters and mothers. which is decided advantage when it is desired to hatch and raise chickens, since the hens of the egg breeds seldom go broody and are III any event rather unreliable sitters and noth~ CTS. If, however, the production of eggs outweighs the desire for an occasional table fowls, the lighter egg breeds un- doubtedly will be found better, because they lay as many eggs and do so on less with the result that they produce the eggs more cheaply. It IS by all means advisable to keep some pure breed or Variety. Where this is done,5 sales at q profitable figure can often be made ot breeding stock intended for market. or of eggs for matching.

 If new nests. feed troughs, drinking fountains or dust boxes in the biddies' domicile are needed, now is the time to make them.
 Perhaps the roosts need replacing. A satisfactory perch made from two by three scantling, set edgewise. with the upper edge slightly rounded, l find to be best.

Mapping Wheat Varieties

For the first time in the history or wheat growing in America it will soon be possible to map the distribution of wheat varieties and to learn the large number of names under which the same varieties are known in different parts or the country This result has been mace possible by comprehensive survey or "a rieties made by the department of az riculture through the bureau of plant industry and the bureau of crop estimates working in cooperation. Schedules were sent to about 65,0oo crop reporters to de- termine the distribution of wheat varie- ties. the source from which they came, the date of their introduction into the community the percentage which each reuresents of the total wheat acreage Tn the community. The returned schedules have been studied. and about 1000 letters of inquiry have been sent asking Tor ad- ditionai information and samples.

B. H. S. DEFEATED BY oRuRY
Football Game Played at North Adams
Saturday--Score $50.

Saturday afternoon, when Benning-
ton high went down to defeat by
Drury high at North Adams to the
tune of 1910. demonstrated to the
coaches Of the local school team the
great and urgent need OF more candl-
dates.
The score Of last Saturdays contest
does not tell the story of the game.
The Bennington boys fought hard all
the way In spite of their handicaps.
In the first place, football has been
barred from the local school for many
years. No man on the team had any
previous football experience. Their
football knowledge had been gained
during the past two weeks at practice.
A mythical brutality OF the game had
been preached to the squad both at
home and at school. They entered the
contest on Saturday with fear of the
game in Their hearts. How surprised
they were to come out of the game
without serious injury Instead of
brutality they found clean sportsman.
ship and fair play which makes mo-
dern football such an attractive game.
Because Of the few men on the
squad, the team had absolutely no
scrimniage practice previous to the
game on Saturday For that reason,
the coaches had had no opportunity
of locating the weak points of the
team. Yesterday morning Physical
director Liljenstein Of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
who has been appointed athletic di-
rector OF the student association ad-
dressed the school at assembly and is.
sued a ca for more candidates. AT
practice during the afternoon, enough
men reported so that two teams were
formed and light scrimmage practice
held. 1t Is hoped that the men will
report consistently for practice so
that the team representing the school
may develop more rapidly and that 1t
may be worthy Of its school.
