The WeaIth-Producina Hen.

Among the speakers who will at
tend all of the institutes is Mrs. Ida f.
Tilson of Wisconsin, who enjoyes the
distinction of being the best posted
woman on poultry subjects in the
world, says the Denver Republican.
Mrs. Tilson has made poultry her life
study, and to use her own language,
she is full OF chicken" Mrs. Tilson
arrived in Denver yesterday. and was
seen at the Albany. She is most en-
thusiastic over the poultry possibili-
ties OF Colorado.
The only trouble is that the people
here do not know anything Of the pos
sibilities of the hem she said. 'Biddy
is the most neglected of all stock, and
yet in proportion to her size and time
and money spent on her, she yields a
bigger per cent OF profit than any other
creature on the farm. Do you know
that in the whole United States only
the corn and hay crops exceed the hen
in the total output? The American hen.
in just one of her busy months. lays
enough eggs to pay the yearly interest
of our national debt"
But, it is generally understood, Mrs.
Tilson, that poultry raising on a large
scale does not pay
We'll, that is partially true, Those
who attempt to so into the business on
a large scale will generally fail. But

novelty being sash ribbons that in col
