Two Men Quarrel Over the Proper
Spelling of the Word.


Atlanta, June 1Ss-A near-fight, q
bet Of q IS, hat. and an interminable
discussion grew up this morning at
Five Points over the old question OF
whether q hen "sets" or "sits."
One Of the Atlanta papers printed
n story about hen which the paper
called Sitting hen" Funny inst
paper should have made such stupid
mistake, said man at the cigar
stand.
81 am rot so sure 1t was mistake -
said another. -.
- And then the argument with the
bet OF the SIS hat began.
a dictionary was produced to set
tie 1t.
The first man turned triumphantly
to set" He read:
"Set-tO sit. az a hen on eggs"
That would have settled things then
and there II the other man, looking
over his shoulder, hadn't noticed an
other sentence below the definition.
Read 1t ALL" lie said, and the first
man unwillingly read. "Set is some
times used by confusion for Sit
Then the second man hopefully
grabbed the dictionary and turned to
"sit." And he read:
"Sit-to crouch as bird on a nest"
Then It was that the near-fight bo-
gan, and neither man is yet satisfied.
Can anybody tell the true answer and
which was right?

TRAP-NESTlNG is ADVOCATED
Good Layers From the Poor Is to
Keep Daily Records.

That the only sure way to know
which hens in a flock are doing the
work and which are not earning
their keep" is by using the trap-nest
is the belief of Prof. James Dryden OF
the poultry husbandry department OF
the Oregon agricultural college.
High egg production is not a char
acteristic of any one breed of fowls. =
says Professor Dryden. THE trap-nest
has demonstrated this. There is no
particular shape or type that indicates
good laying qualities. SO far. at any
rate, as our present knowledge goes.
The only certain method of sepa-
rating the good layers from the poor
is to use the trap-nest and keep a
daily record OF eggs laid. II is not al
ways the fault OF the feed and care
that they don't do better. 1t is the
misfortune of the hen herself very
often; she couldn't lay If she want
ed to.
1T requires considerable time to
keep a trap-ncst record OF flock of
hens. Not every farmer has the time,
but II a few farmers in every county
would trap-nest flock Of hens. in a
few years all the farmers OF the coun-
y would very likely have stock that
were from heavy-laying. trap-nested
fowls. Where il is possible for a
farmer 10 devote a little time TO It
each day he will be well repaid for
the labor.
The Oregon experiment station is
trap-nesting a large flock each year
and it is doing the best It can to fur.
nish the farmers OF that state with
stock from good layers. with the OBJ
Ject OF increasing the egg yield in the
state. 1t is desirable. OF course, to
keep full years record for each hen,
but II that is not possible. a record
for a part OF the year would be valu-
able. For instance. a record OF the
first six months OF laying. beginning
probably in November. would show
which were the good winter produ
GERS.
