The Farm Hen.

The farm hen is one of the import.
ant factors of the farm; though she is
generally neglected and: sometimes
forgotten. The writer knew of one
poor hen that was so. far forgotten
that when an open space under the,
house was closed up to, keep out. the
winter winds biddy was made a. pris-
oner. She was not missed from. the
flock, or, if missed, was not looked
for. After about six weeks a noise
under the house attracted the atten-
ton revealed the poor hen, still alive.
but hardly more thar skin and bones.
Scattered about were 10: eggs. On
the day of her Imprisonment she had
gone under there to- lay, and,
after depositing her egg, had
found the exit closed. She had ap-
parently laid most of those eggs after
the time of being imprisoned. 1t
seemed almost unbelievable that she
should have lived so long without food
and water. Perhaps she was able to
find bug now and then, for the pris-
on was not entirely dark. 1t is
strange, too, that she could and did
recover from her emaciation. This
shows the hen in the role of slayer.
There are few animals on the farm
that can endure the neglect that the
hen gets and still prove profitable.
What will she do if properly taken
care of? The farm hen is the most
potent factor in the creation Of
poultry products. We read about the
enor NOUS quantity of eggs and fowl
flesh consumed in this country year
by year. Let it not be forgotten that
the farm hen is the chief producer Of
these, the hen of the specialist cut
ting small figure by the side Of her.

Quoted and instruction given to our
students concerning the. best methods
Of poultry raising. There has been
some interest manifested. in this mat
ter by the poultry organizations Of
the state, and we are pleased to have
them take the initiative: If they see

asking the legislature to- establish:
such a department, 1 feel confident
that it will be done at the next ses-
sion and the college will very gladly
assume its share of the responsibility.
Prot. Horace Atwood West: Vir-
ginit: Regarding the variety and ex-
tent of poultry work carried on at.
this station would say: (1), We are
conducting experiments in. regard to
the best foods for egg production; the
effect of different foods and manner OF,
feeding upon the fertility of. eggs, and
also their flavor; experiments in ar
tif1cial incubation and brooding. (2)
We have about $4,000 invested in
houses, stock and equipment. 60

along the line. We. have just CON-
pleted new brooder house which will
give us letter facilities for, conduct
ing experiments in brooding. ca
Inc agricultural college has not CIV
en- much attention to. instruction in
poultry culture in the past, but be-
lieve that they expect to. give more
attention to this subject. in future.

WORK OF STRIKERS.

The strike on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad now on in Jackson, Tenn, is
assuming alarming proportions. One
man killed, two trains wrecked, and
business badly tied up is the result.
About 8 o'clock Saturday morning
Chief of Police T. c., CASTOR and his
force were called to the union depot by
the officials of the road on account of a
wreck having occurred there, alleged to
be the work of the strikers. A fishplate
had been laid between the rails of a
switch. and a monster engine was
ditched. The engine was placed again
on the rails and returned to the shop, and
when it returned to carry the train north
the switch was thrown and another de-
Law occasioned. Yesterday at ii o'clock
Will Marlboro, a young man, was shot
and killed on the tender of his engine.
Marlboro boarded the train Saturday
afternoon at Bethel Springs, south OF
Jackson. made trip to Okolona, Miss,
as brakeman, and returned TO jackson
Yesterday. The train on which he was
killed was the same as that manned by
Capt. Pringle, a bridge foreman, and
his crew of negro hands. South Of
Jackson the negroes we're run of the train,
and at Bethel Marlboro joined Pringle,
who was proceeding alone. The striker
say that they know nothing OF the
identity of the man or men who did the
shooting, and deprecate the action. The
railroad property is being guarded, and
further trouble is feared.
