It has so many variations that it enough to make the analysis well {g almost impossible to cover them all, worth while, Try it out before reading ut the main ones. have been selected the following solution: Problem Hearts—A, 10, 8, 2 Clubs -7, 4 Diamonds—none Spades—Q Hearts—IC, 6, 5 v Clubs -8 : A B ; Diamonds -8, 4 Z Spades -8 1-learts—J, 3 Clubs -5, 2 Diamonds -5. Spades—J, 9 Hearts are trumps and Z Is in the lead. How can Y Z win four of the seven tricks against the best defense? The only correct play is for Z to lead the deuce of clubs, forcing A to win the trick with the eight of clubs. A can now make any one of three leads. (1) He may lead the eight of diamonds or (2) the eight of spades or (3) the five of hearts. The eight of diamonds is A's best lead. Y should trump with the ten of hearts and B should over- trump with the Queen. B may now lead (a) the nine of hearts or (b) the. five of spades or (c) the seven, of hearts. If the nine of hearts, Z should cover with the jack, A with the king and Y with the ace.. There are num- erous variations but none present any difficulty for Y Z to make four tricks. If, however, B leads the five of spades, Y wins the trick with the queen of spades and leads the deuce of hearts, .flowing B to win the trick with the seven of hearts. B should now lead the ten of spades, Z plays the jack and .A is forced either to dis- card or trump. If the former, Y also discards; if the latter, Y overtrumps, leads his trumps and wins the balance of the tricks. At trick three, B's best lead is the seven of hearts. Z and A should play low and Y wins the trick with the eight of hearts. Y should now lead the queen of spades and all fol- low. He should now lead the ace of trumps and follow with the seven of clubs, which A is forced to trump with the king of hearts. Y .-ow wins the last trick with the deuce of hearts. The Hearts—K, 6, 5 Clubs—none Diamonds -4 Spades—none Hearts—Q, 0, 7 Clubs -6 Diamonds—none Spades -10, 7, 5 foregoing represents the solution and variations when A. leads the eight of diamonds at trick two. Suppose A leads the eigbt of spades at trick two. Y wins this trick with the queen of spades and should now lead the deuce of hearts. B should play the seven, Z the jack and A should win with the king. B can now make only the queen of trumps. Suppose at trick two A leads the five of hearts. Y Z can now easily win all but one heart trick. Therefore, all three possible plays by A after Z leads a club give Y 2 four tricks. On the lead of the eight of diamonds by A at trick two, if Y trumps with the ten of trumps and B refuses to overtrump, Y should lead the queen of spades and then the deuce of trumps. If B plays the seven or nine of hearts, 2 should play the jack and force A to win the trick with the king. In this way also Y Z win four of the seven tricks. These variations are all pos- sible after Z makes the correct lead of the deuce of clubs and, if properly played by both sides, give Y Z four of the seven tricks. No other lead is correct. Most of the solvers thought the five of diamonds was the correct lead allowing A to win the trick and on which Y should dis- card the queen of spades. This solu- tion, however, is incorrect. A f 4-4 A. should lead the eight of clubs and follow with the eight of spades. Z wins this trick with the jack of spades. The situation is as follows: Hearts—A, 10, 8, 2 Clubs—none Diamonds—none Spades—none v A B : Hearts—J, 3 Clubs -5 Diamonds none Spades -9 It should be evident that A B must now win two heart tricks no , matter how Y 2 play. By doing so, Y Z only score three tricks so the lead of a dia- mond at trick one by 2 is clearly in- correct Another suggested solution that should be noted is that to the lead of the five of diamonds by Z at trick one, A play the eight and Y trump with the ten of hearts. 'The defense of this play Is for B to overtrump with the queen and then lead the nine'of hearts. An analysis of this defense will show also that Y Z cr.0 win only three tricks, thus proving that the diamond lead at trick one is incorrect whether Y dis- cards the queen of spades or trumps with the ten of hearts. Hearts—Q, 9, 7 Chubs—none Diamonds—none . Spades -7 Another sol. .ion was for Z to. lead the nine of spades'at trick one, forcing Y to win the trick. A lead by Y at trick two of either a trump or a club will do him no good and, with this opening, Y Z can make only three tricks if A B make the proper defense. The con- clusion is obvious, therefore, that the only correct opening lead by Z that will enable him and his partner to win four tricks is Pee deuce of clubs. This problem has been analyzed .it such great length because every varia- tion give- is tricky and interesting. The write -would suggest that each of the variations be p'::'ed out and tested from every angle. It is impossible to find a better problem than this one as a test of sound, careful play. it one Chewing Cows Depletion of Mineral Reserves in the Body, One of the Factor in Milk Pro- duction Shrink- age A cow producing an average of six quarts of milk a day for 40 weeks, will Include in the milk produced 32 pounds of mineral substance. The source of the mineral substance in milk is in the mineral salts of the feed eaten. If the feeds supplied to the cow during the period of no pasture do not contain suf- ficient mineral matter to supply the demands of milk secretion, the cow is then at a loss to continue to secrete milk in a normal amount, unless she draws on the minerals that have been incorporated in her skeleton. Of course there is a limit to this; and trou- ble follows when the supply of min- erals runs low. Three things may hap- pen, a redubtion in milk production, a Weakening of the bones, a stiffness of the joints and a loss of condition.

The bone and wood chewing may supply in part what the cow needs and has a craving for, usually lime and phosphorus. If the habit of bone chewing has developed in your herd of cattle, during previous years, try and offset it this year by using steamed bone hour, or any min- eral mixtures containing lime and phosphorus. Cows that are already in bad shape through mineral deficiency can be returned to normal condition by the use of a tonic containing phos- phoric acid, in addition to the supple- mental feeding of steamed bone meal. An Avenue of Trees Everywhere, as we approached Portsmouth, we saw quantities of tim- ber lying near the road, ready to be conveyed to the King's magazines. This is both a picturesque and a pro- per decoration of the avenues to a dockyard. About the tenth stone, we entered a corner of Bere-Forest, which afford- ed a beautiful scene. We rode through woods of oak which were sometimes close, and sometimes open. The road, which was everywhere ample,presented us In one place with an irregular vista; In another it carried us into a lawn in- terspersed with trees,. or of patches of wood. The whole is so beautiful a piece of nature that if It were placed in an improved scene, it might be made, with very little art, to unite with the high style of decoration,— From "Observations on the Coasts of Hampshire, Sussex and rent," by W.
