"WELLSVILLE"
YOUTHFUL PULLET
SHE'S A PRODIGY-BEGAN lay
ING EGGS AT 4 MONTHS.

Wellsville, Mo-, has been able to
get considerable publicity recently
thru the egg-laying record made by
four-months old Rhode Island Red
pullet owned by Mrs. Dave Thomas
Of that place.
The pullet was one of brood num-
bering 81, Matched on February 4.
Altho the weather was unfavorable
the entire lot were raised to maturity,
the hen and chicks being kept in a
box in the kitchen part of the time.
When the chicks had grown large
enough to distinguish their sex only
seven were pullets, but they were
separated from their brothers and
given the range of small pasture
back of the poultry house.
On June 4 Mrs. Thomas found this
wonderful pullet, which has been
named miss WellsVille," sitting or
the nest in the henhouse and shortly
afterwards the pullet paraded out Of
the house cackling like full fledget
layer. There was an egg in the nest
but Mrs. Thomas and her neighborl
were skeptical about the pullet hay
ing produced the egg, altho it wal
small and about pullet size.
Two days later "Miss wellsyille'
was seen going onto the nest, and /
guard" was established just outsid,

of the house to watch the young bid
dy and see that no other hen came
in and shared the nest with her.
However, miss wellsville" was un-
molested and in due course of time
produced an egg and then began to
tell everyone in hearing distance
about it.
Since that time she has laid eggs
two days in succession, at times miss
ing trip-to the nest on the third day
Lately she had eight eggs to her cred
it.
Mrs. Thomas is planning to let her
have a small sitting of eggs as soon
as she becomes broody, which prob
ably will be soon, so that she can also
establish a new record for youthful
pullet motherhood.
Two of the other six pullets are
about ready to begin egg production,
judging from the looks of their
combs. Five months is considered
an early age for pullets of the heavy
breeds to begin egg production, but
this flock has matured exceptionally
early, which shows the result of Sc
lection for egg production in their an
cestors.

BRYAN's EARNING POWER.


The tremendous earning power of
William ]. Bryan as a platform lee
turer on the Chautauqua circuit is
not generally appreciated by the pub
lie. An estimate was made the other
day by the manager of a lyceum bu-
reau, man of wide experience who
has managed the lecture tours of
many public men. Based upon Mr..
Bryan's sale of prices he shows that
by diligently devoting his attention
to the chautauquas and lyceums the
former Secretary of State can earn
nearly $4,000 year.
With Mr.. Bryan's physical strength
and great vitality It is possible for
him to deliver three lectures day,
and he has done this upon more than
one occasion. This, however, would
require careful booking with short
jumps between towns. But it is en-
tirely feasible, as stated, to book him
thruout the chautauQua summer sea-
son of about IA weeks, so that he can
make two lectures day, except Sun
day, or total of IL week.
1t is generally known among the
lyceum bureaus that Mr.. Bryan's
terms are as follows: He receives a
guarantee of $3.50 for each lecture.
After that amount is taken in
he and the management divide the
remainder, each taking half. Under
this arrangement Bryan's share some
times runs over $500 for lecture
but it will average $3.50 thru the sea.
son, it is estimated. This would give
a gross income of $4,000 a week, OF
$SS,SOO for the chautauqua season
of IA weeks.
In the remaining 38 weeks of the
year this lyceum manager estimated
that Bryan could average six lectures
week easily, which would give hin
gross income of $1,000 week, o.
I $79,SO for the S8 weeks. This ad
ded to the $5S,SOO for the Chautau
qua season would give him gros
income of $1SS,sOO. His expens
would be very small outside of hi
personal travelling expenses.
From these figures it will be seel
: Bryan, in laying down his commits
sion as Secretary of State with it's sal

nancial sacrifice. He could rest hal
