Selecting a Good Layer.

An old country poultryman makes
the following suggestions as help in
selecting good layers: "There are GER
tain individual characteristics. one of
which is the shape of Il bird. If Il
straight line be drawn from the back
of the head to the toes. the hen which
is likely to be good layer will usual
ly have the hinder half of her body
largest. whilst hen which may be
suspected of being poor layer will
show more in the front: the reason
being that a poor layer makes bet
ter table bird and has Il larger. longer
breast. whilst Il good layer makes Il
poor table bird. and has a compare
lively small breast. whilst the egg or
gans are more fully developed. Birds
which are good layers are usually very
active. They always look healthy and
in most cases their combs are usually
fully developed. particularly if they
belong to the long-cOmbed varieties.
which are reputed to be the best lay
ers. A hen with a long comb may
usually be regarded as a good layer.
and II she is not there must be some
special reason for the contrary"

There has been a rookus at the
Worlds Fair and Commissioner
Henry, who has been using the
Mississippi building, Beauvoir,
as home, has been ordered to
vacate instanter. Visitors to St.
Louis have brought back tidings
of the trouble. and the storm
broke the past week when the
Commission met in Jackson and
perem ptorily ordered the Missis-
sippi Commissioner TO vacate. A
special from Jackson says:
At meeting of the Mississippi
World S Fair bureau held this af-
ternoon in the Governor Office,
surprise was created by the
Commission deciding that affairs
at the Mississippi exhibit were
not satisfactory, and a commit
tee, composed of Gov. Vardaman
and Com missioners 0. b. Quinn
and V. p. Still. was appointed to
go to Louis and investigate the
condition of affairs. In view of
the fact that Mrs. Walton, the
State hostess at Beauvoir, has
not appeared at the building, ac-
cOrding to the statement sent out
from st. Louis, because of the
fact that Commissioner II. II.
Henry was occupying the build
ing, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the
bureau:
Whereas, tits apparent to this
bureau that a want of harmony
exists among certain of the en-
ployes of the State, now at st.
Louis, supervising Mississippi 5
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, and
whereas, this bureau is aware of
the fact that said want Of har-
mOny is due to assump tion of
authority, conferred on certain
persons now at Beauvoir build
ing in st. Louis by this bureau.
when in reality no such authority
has been conferred; therefore, be
it
Resolved, That this bureau dis
approves of the occupancy of the
Mississippi building as a place of
residence and sleeping apart
ments by any officer. employe or
other person, except a janitor,
who may act as night Waterman.
aud the State Commissioner is
hereby directed and instructed
to cause said building to be va
Gated as a habitation for any per
son or persons, himself not ex-
cepted.
Resolved, second, That the
secretary be instructed To for
ward a certified copy of this pre-
am BILE to the Hon. r. II. Henry,
State Com missioner, and Mrs.
Walton.
A resolution was adopted pro
viding that Mississippi Day be
deferred to a later date, because
of the fact that the Democratic
State Convention will be in SEES
sion on the day now set.
