filed his salary claim yesterday with
Auditor Cornell and it was allowed.
The claim was for 1928 for the month

the auditor being uncertain whether
the food commission law carried with
1t an appropriation. After the attor-
ncy general decided that the horticul-

the auditor decided to pay the food
commission claims, as the food com
mission appeared TO be less question

Hen Crows Like a Rooster.

From the New York Journal: The
peculiar conduct Of a black Spanish
hen owned by Raphael Naar OF La
Fayette street, Elizabeth, N. j., has
caused not only curiosity but wonder
among the people OF the city who have
flocked to see 1t. The hen was pre-
sented to Mr.. Naar by his brother, who
Is q lawyer in Trenton, some three
years ago. At that time the hen look
ed like a motherly sort Of a bird and
that II would Don be the proud and
cackling mother OF a brood Of little
black Spanish chicks. But the hen
kept laying on. but would never set
on her own eggs or any other hens
eggs and. In fact, exhibited an aversion
TO any hen that did hatch out chicks,
and would frequently peck viciously
at the little fellows II they came in
her way. During the latter part OF
June the hen began to mott and shed
her feathers and for several weeks she
was a forlorn-looking chicken. Fin
ally the feathers began to come In and,
much to the surprise of her owner, a
beautiful rooster tail. prettily arched
and assuming all the colors OF the pea
cock tail. began to appear. Then spurs
were discovered peeping out Of her
legs, followed by a beautiful red comb
on the top of her head. This trans
formation In the hen astonished Mr..
Naar. who Is somewhat OF a philoso-
pher. But his philosophy was wrecked
when he saw the hen fly on the top Of
the coop and heard her crow like a
genuine game cock and continue to do
so every morning and to lord 1t over
the other hens In the yard.
