Do Poultry Feel the cosmic Urse2

All animals, hens included, have pc
culiarities, and to obtain the best re-
suits in working with them we must
take this fact into consideration. Not
only is it true that each class of ami
mails has its peculiarities, but indi-
vidu.ls in the same class have their
distinctive traits. To illustrate this,
take for example two horses. One is
a heavy work horse, and when you
speak to him it Is quite while before
he obeys. Yet he may be as willing
and obedient as the other horse which
is of driving stock and quick in Its
thoughts and actions. In fact, 1t is

drove his first ball straight as the

She is survived by her husband, Judge John II. Hammock, and two sons, Mir. William Hammock, of this city, and E. G. Hammock, of Der mott, besides several Sranu-cllll- dren and other relatives.
 Our sincere sympathies are eX- tended Judge Hammock and the relatives in their great loss.
 The Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, at 3:30 O'clock, Monday even ing, conducted by Rev. Flournoy Shepperson. After the services, the remains were carried to Oak land Cemetery and inferred sur rounded, by a large number of sorrowing relatives and warm and true friends.
