HOW TO PICK THE
MONEY-MAKING HENS

Do you know which chickens in
your flock are producing enough eggs
to pay for their feed?
Can you tell the hen that lays thirty
eggs year at time when they sell
at retail for IS cents a dozen, from
the hen that lays six times that mum
ber. many of them in the season of
high prices?
Can you tell the steady layer from
the "boarder" in your flock without
first opening her and looking at the
egg sack?
These are some Of the questions
that puzzle poultry farmers the coun-
try over.
The hen that produces three or four
eggs a week, and is on the job nearly
the year around is the hen that is al
ways hustling, according to ]. G.. Hal

NOT A MERE POETIC MYTH
Abundant Proof OF the Existence OF
Woman Warriors Known az
Amaxons.

For long time II was held that the
story OF the Amazons, the valiant race
OF woman warriors. so great favorite
with the Greeks and other people OF
antiquity, was mere poetic myth,
but within recent years archaeological
researches have indicated that there
were indeed woman lighters OF high
rank in those remote days.
A couple OF years ago there was un-
earthed sepuloher In that part OF
Italy known as Etruria. In which was
discovered n war chariot Of bronze
and iron. wherein was crouched the
skeleton OF woman. About this
skeleton were the remains OF rich
robes and ornaments OF gold and ivory.
such as, In the old traditions, the
AmaEons wore In battle. Tho bronze
work and the terra Gotta vases fixed
the date OF the tomb as about 500 II. O.

signed them 10 the northeastern part
OF Asia Minor. but Etruria was
peopled from Asia Minor and had at

affords Is. in the opinion OF moro than

After this spray mixture has dried
off, apply a good coat Of whitewash.
Finish up the job by covering the
floor with several inches of bright
straw or chaff, filling the nests with
some clean straw or wood shavings
and furnishing a dish of clean water
and a hopper of crushed oyster shells
and grit.

CHICKEN MENUS
HIGHLY POPULAR

Every since the good old days
when the trusty "blunderbuss" Of the
pioneer used to bring down coveys Of
partridges and quail and an occasional
wild turkey along the virgin trail of
the wilderness, plump, juicy, well
cooked, soul-satisfying poultry and
chicken fixin's" have been a source
Of qualification to many people.
The humble hen and her descend
ants of both genders have proved a
delectable topic of conversation at
many a boarding house. From the
tender back piece" to the brittle
cartilage at the point of the breast
bone, and from the neck 10 the Par
sons nose" every morsel has it's own
separate and distinct appeal to the
human appetite. Few can resist IL,
and even babes in arms have been
known to gnaw at a roast wing with
greasy satisfaction.
Even with the advent OF the cabaret
and the "hot dog" lunch places the i'm
portance OF chicken on the menu has
net been forgotten nor replaced. To
the housewife who has the wherewith-
al to obtain chicken and the skill TO
prepare IL, there ia no need to worry
over what shall be the crowning glory
of the feast spread for special com
pany."
There are many ways OF making the
ordinary barnyard variety Of fowl
taste delicious beyond the widest
dreams. A few recipes Of safe and
sane nature from the Wisconsin Farm
ers' Institute Cook Book are added as
an aid to cooks in search OF other
ways to serve this popular meat:
