The scraggy legged hen Is usually
found on the roosts. However, she is
sometimes a good layer, but as a rule
she is a losing proposition and usually
one of the first affected by disease.
Her condition Is usually a symptom
of a poor constitution. Anyhow, 1t is
safer to get rid of her.
Poultrymen, as a rule, keep too
many fowls for their accommodations
SO In wedding out the old ones and
the drones you had better err on the
side of retaining too few rather than
too many. You may have accommodate
tons for 1000; If SO, don't try to
keep 1900. Or your capacity may be
so or 100; then don't keep 1875 or 200.
At any rate. only keep the number
and kind of fowls that pay you a
profit.

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parisnioner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
In the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
OF small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was. however. totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such way that it left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons SO much, they are so in
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
