LOCAL HEN IS
QUITE A WONDER
Does the Unheard of Thing
Of Laying Two Eggs a
Day
POULTRY RAISERS AMAZED
BY FOWLS PERFORMANCE

Although poultry raiSers all over the
country after long years Of expert
menting in the breeding Of poultry for
increased egg production have failed
to produce a hen that will lay more
than one egg a day. yet Lilbourne
Martin, 14-year-old son of William M.
Martin, of No. 222 Woodlawn avenue,
is the proud possessor of a hen which
not only occasionally lays two eggs a
day, but sometimes turns out three
eggs within a period of twenty-four
hours.
Persons who have had long expert
ence in poultry raising who have heard
of wonderful performances Of the hen
were at first inclined to doubt the
fact the hen had actually laid two eggs
a day as they had never heard OF such
a case or had ever read of any reports
of cases of this kind in the poultry
journals. While selected thoroughbred
hens bred for egg pro-
duction have made great records
in egg laying contests held at
different times, especially in one held
in Australia some years ago, no hen
in any of the contests ever laid two
eggs day.
The hen owned by young Martin is
The only one kept by him, and it is
confined in the yard in the rear Of the
house by itself, so that the eggs could
not have been laid by any other hen
The truthfulness Of the family has
never been doubted by the residents Of
the western side of the city.
The hen is a little over year old
and was brought from Bynum, Hart
ford county, Nd. by young Martin
last summer, having been given to him
by a relative. The hen was quite
small at the time and he at first
thought Il was a Bantam but il kept
growing until when full-grown It re-
sembled a black Minorca in both size
and color. 1t is quite a pet and
answers to the name of SNOWFALL"
Young Martin used no special method
of feeding in forcing the hen to lay.
Persons experienced in poultry raising
say that by breeding this hen along
with heavy laying fowls, a new strain
might eventually be developed which
would break all previous egg records.
Common hens often lay less than 100

Several farmers in the middle part of the
county have, however, undertaken to build short
roads of their own and they are experimenting
with various materials The Grangers are inter
ested and meeting of the Good Roads Commit
tee of the Kent County Grouge was held the
other day at the home of Mr.. T. W. Jenkins.
Representatives were present from each district
in the county.
1t developed at the meeting that Road Com
missioner Hope had found several good gravel
pits that would make excellent foundation for
roads II is believed that this gravel may be
utilized for highway purposes without heavy
expense The question of drainage was also
considered
A paper prepared by the Road Commissioner
of Missouri, was read showing that the people
themselves must be interested in the work of
good roads. The paper points out that road
building should be under the direction of men
qualified for the work, and that such labor should
not be done in hap-hazard manner such as has
marked considerable of our road building.
1t seems TO us that out of all this discussion,
a practical method will come which will enable
the people of Kent to have roads not nearly so
expensive as those of New Castle county, but
which will be a vast improvement over the
present roads and answer the requirements of
county like Kent
The Levy Court at least should pay attention
to this movement of the Grangers The Court
should make an effort to improve the highways
even without the expenditure of a sum that it
thinks might embarrass the country financially.

Inferior MiIks

We buy nothing but Holstein cows-the
worlds best breed. They are robust con-
tented, famous for their vitality.
Mongrel cows cost lec7 money, of course,
but the difference fully shows in the milk
The milk of common cows, evaporated,
costs just as much as Van Camps: Its value
is considerably less.
We evaporate from our Holstein milk a
full two-thirds of the water. The result is
milk as thick as thick cream. Every can will
show 28 per cent SOLIDS per cent butter
fat
When this milk is reduced to the basis of
milkman's milk, the cost is about six cents
per quart
If we took out only one-third of the water,
we could make more money. But the loss
would fall on you.
When someone says, This milk is as good
as Van Camps" don't take it unless, by ac-
tual comparison, you find it as rich as ours.
