A GYmnastic Maine Hen.

Zenas Dudley of Hampden has a hen
that win lay every day providing she
can lay where she wants to- and that is
sitting on top of pole. The only rea-
son why this hen wishes to perch on the
tp-end of a pole when laying can be
accounted for only by the fact that she
laid her first egg on top of pole. When
she was a small pullet she was fright
ened one day and flew to the top Of a
tall pole in the yard. The dog kept her
there for some time, and during the time
she laid her first egg. Never time
since then has she laid an egg except
when she has been on the top of some
pole. A pole has been set up in the
hen yard where this hen can make her
daily layings, A small net bag is placed
around the pole to catch the eggs.-Ken-
