Hinkey was graduwated from Yale in 1895. He played end rush, and Walter Camp and other football experts re- gard him as one of the best ends that ever wore the blue, rivaling even such latter-day stars at Yale as Shevlin, Kilpatrick and Bomeisier. For the first time in many vears Hinkey assisted in the coaching at Yale field this fall, so he is conversant with conditions here. He is known to the open style of piay and is a firm believer in the forward pass. It is therefore probable that Yale will show an attack next fall that will almost revolutionize the stvle of play in vogue here for several seasons past.

Kramer, American cycling | champion for 13 years and holder of the world’s title in 1912, was one of a party of riders that left for Kurope last week on the steamer France. Kramer has signed contraets to ride mateh races against the leading Bu- ropean sprinters in the next three months, The promoters of the coming six-day race in Paris want him to compete in the grind, but he will stick to short events. Frank .Mihlon, one of the owners of the Newark velodrome and other cycle tracks in the east, was another pas- senger. He will represent the Nation- al cycling association at the annual gathering of the Union cycliste inter- nationale, the world governing body. He will try to have the 1914 world championships run in this country— the sprint events in Newark and the paced races in Boston. Six of the riders have been signed for the Paris six-day race, which will be held January 18. They are Jackie Clarke and I2ddie Root, Alfred Goullet and Algred Grenda, Joe Folger and Jimmy Moran. Clarke and Root said they had agreed to team together in all future six-day races, and neither will enter a grind unless the other rides with him. Folger and Goullet have agreed to disagree, and the Brooklyn boy will not team with Goullet again, thus breaking up the pair that won here i last week. These teams will also com- i pete in six-day races in Berlin and Brussels. WILLARD VS. RODEL. Twenty Round Bout to be Staged at New Haven. A twenty round fight between a of heavyweights aspiring for championship honors is something entirely new to Connecticut fight fans and as a matter of fact something that none of the followers of the sport in the east have had a chance to see since the old days of the Coney Island fights when Jeffries and Cor- bett held the spot light. Even at the present time twenty round fights barred in New York, Boston and oth- er regular fighting cities of the east, New Haven jumps to the front with a card that takes the starch out of all recent programs offered in this section. Matchmaker Len McCrann of the National A. C. of New Haven has Jess | Willard, the Texas cowboy, and one of the heaviest men in the ring to- { Boer bearcat, for twenty rounds. The | big fight will take place at the Ca- sino in New Haven on Monday night, December 29, Willard will train In New Haven at itzgerald’s & Malone’s gymnasium while Rodel will work out in New York. The winner of this bout has been promised a match with the win- ner of the Gunboat Smith-Arthur As a base- 5 Pelky fight at the coast and this adds unusual interest to the scrap in New Haven over the long route.

Any ohe having a dark cellar can force rhubarb in midwinter. It need cause no objectionable odors nor exces- sive dampness. Very little space is required, a small bed in a corner an- swering. It is necessary to completely exc- clude daylight.so that the stalks will grow upright and have good coloring and to discourage leaf development. Dim artificial light is not injurious. To shut off the light it is usually nec- essary to erect wooden partitions or use curtains of old carpet or simMar material. Very little ventilation is needed, and no special provision will have to be made for it. Spread two or three inches of loose garden loam over the cellar floor. The roots will produce an abundance for. the average family. Should one bunch of roots cease bearing remove them and put in & new supply. elect roots from two to flve years of age, the thriftier and stronger the better. Almost any variety will force. A most important factor in success is to al- low the roots to remain in the ground until thoroughly frozen. How to Plant It. Dig the plants in the fall, retaining as much dirt as possible among the roots, and leave them outside to freeze, or they may be purchased. Trim the roots slightly to make a smooth job and take to the cellar. Set the clumps as close together as possible and fill in weeks ago Bill threw the Greek over iis head and injured him so that the bout was stopped.

Pauline crouched bdehind the lilac bush and nursed a bitter hatred in her heart. “He's a wicked, wicked man,” she breathed to herself passionately. “I hate him!” She clinched her small hands fiercely and crouched even more closely in the shade of the lilac bush. They had a new baby at Pauline’s house, a round, soft, tiny baby. Though it had been there only a few | weeks, they had all developed the most remarkable affection for it. Of course it belonged to Pauline and her family. Nobody had ever thought of its not belonging to them until Mr. Ives, who lived two blocks down the street, had come over to see it. Not even the doctor, who had brought it. laid any claim to it. He had just brought it and left it and he had chucked Pauline ! under the chin and told her he had brought her a baby sister and he hoped she would like it. Then Mr. Ives had come and Wad| stood with his hands in his pockets | and looked down at the morsel of| humanity in a very superior sort of | way. Then he had put out one finger and | poked the baby's cheek very gently. | “Well, voungster,” he said to Paul- | ine, “it certainly is a great little kid, | but I'd like to know how in the world | you came to think it was yours.” Pauline smiled tremulously. She | glanced up at Mr. Ives. Then she looked at her mother. They were both perfectly serious. Pauline’s lips | quivered a little, but just then the! baby began to whimper, so nobody noticed the big little sister. | “What's her name?” Mr. Ives asked | after a moment. i “We'r thin of call her Roberta,” Pauline’s mother replied. | “Roberta?’ Mr. Ives cried. “VVell,i for goodness’ sake—vou don’t mean to say—why, Poluly,” he turned to Paul- | e, who was standing wild-eyed be- side him, “don’t you know that's al-| most the same as my name? Of course | this is my baby. That crazy doctor | has made another of his blunders. | Here I've been waiting and waiting | and now he’s gone and left this baby | at the wrong house! It's as plain as; the nose on your face thai twss DADY | belongs to me. T'll run home and seti a basket and take her away now.’ Pauline’s mother had laughed! That | was another shuddery thing. It made Pauline quite sick now to think about that laugh of her mother’ “T think you'd better wait a little while,” Pauline’s mother had said. “Mrs. Ives told me the other day that she was going to have the house re- decorated this week, so I'm afraid the You might perhaps come over ahout next Thurs- | day and then get her.” And here it was Thursday! So be-| hind the lilac bush Pauline crouched | miserably and tried to keep from sob- bing, for five minutes before she had seen Mr. Ives go into their house with , a basket in his hand! Up to that mo- | | ment Pauline had hardly believed that | her mether would doe such a thing as | to let him take the baby. All along ' she had believed down in her heart it would turn out to be a miserable joke. . { But when Mr. Ives actually * with the basket in his hand- i The tears gathered in Pauline’s eves ' and her heart beat so fast that it hurt her. An® she had always liked Mr. Ives. The tears broke bounds and rolled down her cheeks when she re- membered the good times they had | had together. And her mother! Oh, perfidious mother! The door opened and Mr. Ives stepped out. Pauline brushed the tears | away violently. He was not worth a | tear. Her mother followed him out on | the steps. “She’s a nice little thing,” her moth- er ‘was saying lightly. “We'd like to keep her because Pauiine thinks to much-of her, but we really can’t have So many and Polly will get over it in a little while.” Then Pauline’'s mother went back into the house and shut the door be- hind her. Mr. Ives came whistling donw the steps, basket in hand. came | In making her attack Pauline re- undernezth and between , them with loose earth. Use only enough earth to entirely cover the crown of the roots. An even temperature of anywhere from 50 to 80 degrees will give good results. High temperature hastens groqwth, but at the expense of quality. A gasoline or oil stove with an oven large oil lamps or even lanterns will serve to raise the temperature should the cellar be too cool. A cellar with a furnace is ideal. Keep the soil slight- 1¥ moist by applying a lttle tepid wat- er when it seems in need. The appli- cation of a weak solution of nitrate of soda or liquid cow manure ususlly pays well for the pains. When and How to Pick. It is a month or six weeks from planting to harvesting. Twelve to fourteen inches is a good height for picking. Do not carlessly jerk or pull the stalks. Run the index finger care- fully down the inside of the stalk and gently pry and pull the clump. If nu- merous small stalks spring up in- crease the heat and thin them out to a fair stand. POULTRY. THE .BEST PAYING LIVE STOCK. A Too Frequently Neglected Opportun- inty For. Earning Needed Cash. By A. F. HUNTER, A Veteran Poultry Ralser. Poultry rightly handled is the best paying live stock a farmer can keep, with the added advantage of a com- paratively small investment in bufld- ings and of both quick and constant cash‘.,;'eturns. This is not true, how- ever, of the average farm flocks, which produce no eggs in the fall and early winter'and‘the average according to' the last census, less than eighty eggs each in a year., Hens so kept pay no profit whatever if the cost of their food is considered. It is pullets that produce an average of 150 eggs each in a year and produce a fair proportion of those in late fall and winter, the season of highest prices and best profits, that are the money makers. It is remarkable that the farmers who would be most ad- vantaged by a steady cash return from a flock of good hens are the most neg- lectful of this opportunity. Good pulléts which will produce an average of 150 eggs each and pay their owner a net profit of §2 each in a year are not the common scrub hens of the farms; they are thoroughbred pul- lets, bred and reared for egg produc- tlon, and, so reared that they attain laying maturity in the first half of October. To the farmers who are used to getting no eggs in fall and early winter this will seem an im- ol e garded no rules of civilized warfare. She fought with the simple end of coming out victor from the battle. She bit, she scratched, she clawed, she kicked, she shrieked and roared in her fear and rage. Pauline’s mother, drawn to the scene of the combat by the sounds of | fury, eventually succeeded in dragging oif her daughter. “He shan’t take her! He shan’t take gronlbirl‘ity, but thouthonundl of hrn‘- 'S Who are eas! acomplishing - prove the fact. % . = 8ignposts Along the Road. To accomplish this the threé chief points are to have the chicks hatched the first half of April, to keep the pul- lets steadlly growing so that they reach laying maturity the first half of October and then that they be kept steadily laying by care and good food. Six months the normal time of growth of a healthy pullet. Six months forward from the first half of April 18 the first of October, and the “rightly handled” pullets will be fully mature and laying before cold Weather comes upon them. The chicks hatched one or two months later are checked, in growth by the strong heat of summer and are about half maturs when the cold of coming winter over- takes them. Such pullets lay the bulk of their eggs during the months of low- est prices and pay little or no profit. Thousands of farmers .are $2 apiece profit yearly on their pullk buying all the food, and as the d.m:x‘xfi for fresh eggs increases more rapidly than the supply there is always room for others. f By T T R SELLING CREAM. An Exacting but Profitable Business. By C. B. LANE, Expert Dairyman. The word “cream” signfies little to purchasers unless it is accompanied by some term indicating its quality er richness. We therefore have a basis for grading cream which we term “but- ter fat”, which is the amount of pure oll or fat it contains. This varies from 20 to 60 per cent, depending upon amount of skimmilk incorporated with it Tortunately we have an accurate method of determining butter fat in cream, known as the “Babcock test.” This consists in weighing & definite amount of cream, placing it in gradu- ated test bottles made for the purpose and adding sulphuric acid. After shaking, the bottle is placed in a cen- trifugal machin which " revolves a thousn.qd revolutions per minute, The fat, which is the lighter portion of the cream, is thrown to the top, and then hot water is added to bring it into the graduated tube, where the percentage is read. Most cities have a minimum standard for butter fat in cream, us- ally about 18 per cent. We have the various grades of cream based on per centage of fat they, contaln. Cream testing from 18 per cent to 22 per cent is called “table cream” and is used in households for cereals, coffee, fruit, retalling for 34 cents to 40 cents per quart. The next grade is termed “whipping cream” and tests from 30 per cent to 25 per cent butter fat, retailing for 40 to 46 cents per quart. If kept cold this cream readily whips and is popular, It is al- so used for making butter in creamer- ies. The nexit grade is called “heavy cream.” This is also popular and tests from 40 per cent to 45 per cent but- ter fat, retailing from 50 cents to 88 cents per quart. Another quality is sold under the name of “double cream,” or “Double XX,” and frequently tests from 50 per cent to 60 per cent butter fat, is so thick it will not pour from a bottle and sells for from 75 cent to $1 per quart. 7 Many farmers have separators re- moving cream from milk on the farm and bauling i or in some cases ship- ping it to a creamery at a distance. This plan has the advantage of keep- ing skimmilk to feed stock. This cream tests from 25 per cent to 85 per cent. Cream properly pasiteurized is kept in cold storage for three weeks at a temperature of 30 degrees F. (freezing itemperature for cream is 29 degreesF.) sweet and without de- terioation In flavor. It is almost im- possible for a farmer to produce cream for shipment to the city to be sold as sweet cream, as it will not keep with- out being pasteurized. - HOTBED MANAGEMENT.
