The death of John T. Morrison at
Boise today will be widely lamented
in Idaho. The former governor was
well known personally to many
local people and he has frequent
ly visited this city in the past dozen
years. He was in the fifties and
had been active in republican party
circles for many years.
Mr.. Morrison was formerly a res
ident of Caldwell but following his
term as governor settled at Boise
where he resumed the practice of
law. He was noted in his advocacy
of labor legislature and during the
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
trials at Boise for the Steunenberg
assassination, he was one of the at
torneys for the defense. His last
campaign was for governorship a.
gainst John M. Haines.

Since the opening of the Kendrick
creamery a few months ago it has
been demonstrated that not more
than 20 per cent of the cows being
milked in that locality are paying
for themselves and as result the

chase two carloads of good milk
cows to be sold to Kendrick farmers.

HON. TD CHOOSE CHOOSE POULTRY FOR Pro-
DyCTII0!y! Of 0I EGGS EGGS On TABLE FOWLS
Characteristics of Chickens That Make Them Good Laying or
General Purpose Breeds-White Leghorn and Barred
Plymouth Rock Most Popular Varieties

Breeds Of poultry can be convent
emily divided into two classes: D
the egg breeds, aud (2) the general
purpose breeds. This division is like
that of cattle into beef and dairy
types, and of horses into light and
heavy classes.
In the egg breeds of poultry the
primary requirement is the produc-
ton of a great number OF eggs OF
standard size. The fowls are not eX-
pected to be prime table specimens,
bat they must lay throughout the
year, except when they have to rest
and recuperate. They do not sit and
hatch chickens and they lay white
shelled eggs. The more popular egg
breeds are Leghorns, Minorcas, An
conas and Campines. The most popu-
lar variety of these breeds is the Sin
gle Comb White Leghorn:
All large egg FARMS are stocked
with Waite Leghorn pullets and hens,
because it is possible to obtain
breeding stock in this variety that
has blood lines of heavy egg produc-
tion behind it. Pullets from a heavy
laying strain are better layers than
pullets of no special breeding.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1915-11-03
A simple test of a good layer is t

A simple test of good layer is TO
measure the distance from the two
pelvic bones Zone on each side of the
vent) to the rear end of the breast
bone. This distance should be as wide
as four fingers when the hen is lay
ing. When the hen has this depth and
is also wide across her rear it proves
that she has an abundance of room to
manufacture eggs constantly and par
ticularly the egg shells, which are
formed in this part of her body. Such
hen will lay well when properly
cared for.
Hens with a small distance between
the pelvic bones and rear of breast
bone and tight or unyielding rear body
are not good layers. Put bands on the
legs of your layers and note how many
consecutive days they lay without
resting. That will show how long
each hen can maintain her egg flow
an dthe better layers are those which
can continue laying for longer periods.
