otherwise she suffers no Inconvenience

instance Of tenacity of life in the shape
Of chicken hen which lost its head
over four months ago bat continued we'll

scratching in the earth and appearing
quito unconscious of it's loss. 1t is fed
by examining tho food down the severed
gullOt, and evidently thrives under this
peculiar method of feeding, for it is in
excellent condition. The boy who owns
1t says that it lays regularly and has
actually made a nest and raised O brood
OF chickens since the loss of it's head.
1t has however shed nearly all of it's
feathers except those Of it's tail, and

OTHER WORK.

The first period of organization absorbs
funds rapidly. When the organization is
completed and expenses are reduced to
their normal level other lines CT work will
be entered upon, covering q wider field.
Entomology, animal and vegetable diseases,
and other fields, may well be made special
ties of. The station will cover all the
ground that it can adequately cover. 1t
viii, however, be distinct policy of the
station to avoid attempting to cover
too many fields OF inquiry. The
spreading of the station resources
over too much ground will result
in Indifferent work all along the line.
1t is better for each Of the fifty stations of
the country to be strong in whatever direc-
ton local conditions and special tastes of
those in charge demand, than to do uncer-
tain work over wide field, Ii in the in
quiries the underlying principles are
sought, then much Of the work done at the
stations will be of universal application,
and thus local interests and the general in
terests of the whole country viii be best
served, All fields OF the general work are
likely TO be involved by the group of ma
tional stations, and thus make it unneces-
sary for each one to cover the whole field.
