HENS WITH FURS ON.
They Should Be Shipped to the Nortn
Pole.

Morrison, n. j., Oct. 1.-When Alonzo
Murphy of Newton set his favoritc
Plymouth Rock hen he placed under her
by inadvertence lot of coldstoragc
eggs. The old hen in due time came
with brood of seventeen lively little
chicks. The chickens grew rapidly, but
no feathers replaced the down on their
bodies, and close examination showed
that they were covered with fur.
1t is Mr.. Murphy's theory that
through the wise and bountiful provis
ion of nature that adapts all animals
to their environment, the fur replaced
the feathers while the eggs were in cold
storage.
The fur is thick and glossy and va
rious colors. Naturally the absence of
feathers prevents these remarkable
young fowls from flying, which Mr..
Murphy considers a distinct advantage.

BIDDY DOES GREAT STUNT.
Since Oct. S. 1905, Has LAID 291
Eeos, Breaks Record.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The proud
owner of hen, which he believes has
broken the worlds record for laying
eggs has just written to the bureau of
animal industry of the department of
agriculture. +. w. Starnell of AleXan-
dria, Va, is the possessor of this re-
markable specimen of poultry. He in
forms the bureau of animal industry
that since Oct. 5, 1905, the hen has
laid POI eggs. When her year is up he
calculates she will have laid over 300
eggs. Exclusive of the molting season,
this is at the rate of one egg every
twenty-five hours.
Mr.. Starnell does not record that there
is anything seemingly abnormal about
his hen save that she is a model of en-
ergy and industry.

Next to the fifth district the eighth
carried the banner for a full vote, and
considering there was contest on in
the fourth district, the total there was
small. The biggest vote for any one
candidate was received by Congressman
Volstead, who got the lS,4s5 votes re-
ported in the seventh district, though
there was no opposition to arouse in
terest. The light vote in the third is
due to the fact that there was not only
no opposition to Congressman Davis, but
in several of the counties the primary
contests were of little Importance and
interest, and light votes were cast. In
Scott the vote almost melted away.
