HEN FREAK BREAKS RECORD
Ono Of Wisconsin's Biddies' Eggs
Hatches Chicken and 4
Half Out.

Attracted the other day to his incu-
bator by promising peep, peep"
Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging
from a shell little ball of fur with
a half-chicken alongside. The whole
fowl was perfect. The half fowl had
no wings, neck or head. Otherwise 1t
was all chicken should be.
Lounsbury explains the birth Of the
chicken and half In most convinc-
ing manner. He says that some time
ago Cne Of his hens was run over by
a motorcycle with n side car attached.
He did not think much of the accident
at the time, but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the one that laid
the egg that produced the chicken and
a half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject to pre-
natal influence.

are received 1t is better to postpone
the planting. as the soil is liable to
become baked and the safety Of the
plants may be thus endangered.
During a dry season the rose re-
quires plenty of water, and frequently
soaking the bed with liquid manure
will be beneficial. The moisture may
also be conserved by abundant cultiva-
ton.
In the winter the roses should be
protected with good mulch, which is
best done by covering the roots In De-
cember with coarse litter, or leaves, to
about six inches In depth, or they may
be covered with evergreen boughs OF
similar material.
But II the exposure is very great 1t
is advisable to lay tiie plants down and
cover them with earth, putting them to
sleep, as 1t were, on the bosom OF
Mother Nature.

FALL PLANTING OF ROSES
BY PRISCILLA PAKE.

Fall planting Of roses may be done
In the latter part of October or early
In November, or even as late as the
middle Of December. with excellent re-
suits.
Roses planted In the fall, however,
should be set deep and banked well
with earth just before the ground
freezes. 1t Is also well to cover the
soil about the plants with manure,
which should not be removed until the
middle of April. or until all danger
from a severe frost Is over, whereupon
this dressing may be forked under.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurseryman they should be
nnpacked as soon as they come to
hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
should be well sprinkled with water,
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in a shaded
spot until ready to plant.
II the ground Is not prepared when
the plants arrive, 1t is advisable to put
them In shallow trench and cover the
roots with loose soil until the ground
can be put into proper condition.
The enrichment of the soil, however,
should not only be made at the time Of
the preparation Of the bed before plant
ing, but in the spring Of every year,
for with such attention bountiful
supply of flowers may be expected
every season.
When planting. spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface Of the soil and
arranged, as far as possible, In their
natural position.
When the roots are covered the
earth should be firmly pressed down
upon them, particularly around the
stem. II manure is put In the bottom
of the hole 1t should not be allowed to
come In contact with the roots.
After planting, the roses should be
well cut back to few buds, freely wa
tered and protected for few days II
the sun is strong. After that they will
have become thoroughly established.
II the ground Is wet when the plants

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Much surprise was shown when the
Ell Centre boys defeated Brawley in
basketball last Saturday. The league
standings were quite upset in the bar
gain. Central, having been defeated
by Holtville and Imperial, had no
chance at the championship when the
game was played. Now it will be
necessary for Brawley and Imperial
to play off the tie, each school having
won two games.
The Central girls were doomed to
disappointment. however, as they lost
to the northern team. The Brawley
girls cleaned up on everything in
sight this year. Eel Centre won three
games, but Brawley went one better
and walked into the champs class
without losing game.
This is practically the last of bas-
ketball for the year, but track follows
closely. The date of the meet has not
been definitely decided yet, but will
probably be March II. The track and
field meet will be held at Ell Centre
this season for the first time in four
years. All of the valley schools are
planning to cooperate with Central
this year to make the meet the best in
history. Many of the schools have
signified their willingness to dispose
