O’Neill, Neb., June IB.—After sev eral seasons of secret experimentation Doc Wilkinson announces that he at last has succeeded in perfecting a hen which he will soon place upon the market. The new hen, the doctor believes, will place thousands of dol lars into the pockets of the farmers and small country produce dealers an nually during the summer months, dollars of which they are now de prived because of either the natural depravity of the common hen or her lack of knowledge of the state and federal pure food laws. The new fowl, he says, is not a freak-bred bird, but is the offspring of several generations of highly educated barn-yard chickens. The doctor first was attracted to the necessity for improvement of the common hen by the perversity of the large flocks which he maintained on his ranch just outside the city limits of Beaver Flats. The flock was one of noted layers and as a result each time the doctor came to town he was enabled to bring at least a case of eggs. These eggs the local merchants were eager and glad to accept and later to ship as number Is to the larger marts, where they were accept ed without question until the first of June rolled around each year. The first of June is the date after which for several months both state and federal food laws require eggs to be candled, and after which all eggs must be shipped subject to candleation. Just as soon as June 1 arrived the doctor noticed that the hens began to lay large numbers of bad eggs. No matter how carefully they were candled at home and by the local dealer bad ones continued to show up every time they changed hands and were re-candled. Close observation of the flock con vinced him that the blame lay with the birds and that many of them, either through natural meanness or a careless spirit brought on by warm weather, were laying bad eggs. Con tinued observation enabled him to spot the guilty fowls and then a course of discipline began. Whenever a hen, caught in the trap nests, was discovered to have produced a bad egg she was sent to bed without jier supper and her pleasures and recreations were restricted until she had produced a good one. It didn’t take long for the hens to figure out the relation between cause The Convenient Way To Pay Paying by check is the moat con venient and businesslike way.'
