II. w. Plummer who runs a cobbler

er Of the oldest hen In Kennebec coun-

fowl for the past 20 years, but how
much older she is than that he cannot
state, as he bought here of his brother
in-law, Warren McCorrison, of China.
He said, however. in conversation yes
.terday. that she was no spring chicken
when he got her, and as nearly as
could be reckoned. she must be between
25 and 80 years old. The funny part OF
1t Is that I'm spite of the biddy's ad-
yanced years, she Is as bright ana
smart as any hen in the pen. and as an
egg producer she Is IN I'm the front
rank with the best of them. Her pedi-
gree is unknown, but from her genera
appearance she may be a descendant Oh
some of the oId-fashiOned French
breeds that used to be in style at the
time that she was matched. She is red
ish brown in color, and speckied VII"
dark and white spots and wears a top
knot something like the Houdan breed
MIR. Plummer does not consider that the
value of the hen is in any way depre-
ciated because of the fact that she mas
no credentials to certify as to her
breeding and age, ana Will set some OIL
her eggs. next spring, in order 10 per-
petuate the breed.
