"BIDDY" TOO HOMELY
Gayer CoIors for Hens Is Govern
ment'S Desire.

Washington. June Fowl fanciers
and experts in the bureau of animal
industry are seeking some method OF
cross breeding whereby the unattrac-
tice but useful hen can sprout plumage
as variegated as Joseph's coat of many
coIors The activity of the experts is
inspired by the fact that an ever in
creasing number of states are passing
stringent laws against the destruction
of birds for their plumage while sew
eral federal laws prohibiting the traf-
fic in such plumage already are in eff
feet
The bird division of the national
museum also has the matter under
consideration but it is inclined to be-
lieve that the evolution of the common
hen along the lines desired is scarce
ly practica BILE.
''6t might be accomplished" said one
of the museum scientists facetiously,
"by Matching the eggs in dye house.
1t might also be accomplished by feed
ing the chicka biddies ochre, prussian
blue and other various colored paint
powders insted of corn or other grain.
One you know, can never tell what
might happen in such a truly scientific
experiment.
The bureau of animal industry how
ever is taking the matter more serious
ly and is casting about for some solu-
ton of the subject.
