However, the body wss exhumed st Phoenix last week and all doubt concerning DeRaylans sex removed. A report Of the fnd- ings os the physicians who examined the body was used as the basis upon which Judge Cutting legally declared DeRaylan to be a woman and his @widow" to have no rights in court.

RxERCIsE THE HENS.

When fowls are confined, idleness
and incidence are liable to take DO
session of them and we all know that
hens in this condition seldom lay.
When confined, nothing is so condu-
Give to the health and productive
ness Of the hens as agreeable exer-
else. In order to obtain best results
the exercise should be such that the
hens are contented and really enjoy
doing it. Outlines we see hens con-
fined in a coop or yard, walk back
and forth eagerly seeking some place
by which they may gain their liberty;
this is exercise, but the wrong kind,
the kind that does more injury than
good.
By scratching in a litter the hens
may get a large percent of the much
needed exercise. It is a natural and
agreeable way and the hens will
truly enjoy it. The blood is kept in
circulation and the bodies are made
warm.
1t is an excellent idea to have a
scratching shed in connection with
he poultry house proper, especially
dring winter, where the fowls can get
fresh air and sun during the long cold
days. 1t should be built adjoining the
house and have large windows on the
south, so as to admit plenty of sun
light. 1t is necessary to double-boar6
1T as it is merely a scratching place
for the hens during the day. Keep
a litter Of chaff, leaves or cut straw
on the floor, and upon this throw the
grain. The litter may be five or six
inches deep. Some use it ten or
twelve inches deep, but this does not
matter much if the grain is in it, for
the hens know it and they will lose
no time until every grain is found.
When the entire meal is intended to
be given in the litter, be sure to give
enough to satisfy the appetites, else
the amount of feed obtained will not
supply the amount of energy lost in
searching for it. On winter mornings
we give a half feed Of mash, then the
remainder of the meal in the litter
