Basket of Eggs on Left Represents
Is Eggs Laid by Average Hen-one
on Right Represents 22o Eggs Laid
by Best Hen at Crookston (Minn.)
Experiment Station.
ng it cannot be done, had we not bet
ter be trying to harmonic and COM
bine these two desirable qualities?
hen that never laid an egg would
naturally be expected to score some
higher than a hen of the same variety
that laid a great many eggs, but we
would rather have a hen that scored
80 and laid 200 eggs than TO have one
scoring "a that laid only 90 eggs The
man is either prejudiced or narrow
minded who would attempt to discour-
age the breeders from making an at
tempt to combine these two qualities
in all varieties of poultry. The stand
ard Of perfection calls for 100 points
for each variety. No one ever saw
bird or perhaps ever viii see one that
is perfect or would score 100 points.
But that is no reason why we should
discourage breeders in their efforts TO
breed more perfect specimens. 1t Is
just as sensible to do that, however, as
it is to try to tell them they cannot
combine utility and beauty to a great
er degree than they are found in the
average flock at the present time. The
thing to 90 is to make the effort and
quit arguing about it We are con-
WINGED that it can be done If ii can
not be then it is high time we had that
certified.
Today, eight or more Of our leading
state colleges of agriculture and uni
versities are putting on contests and
hundreds of progressive poultrymen
are having their birds officially trap
nested. The breeder who has a good
egg record and a good show record
back of his birds is the one who is
getting the business.

SELLS PROPERTY HE
 DIDN'T OWN, CHARGE
Rudolph Feuh Sued for Damages of $4,0OO by Hartford Saloon
 Owners.

Charged with fradulently transfer ing property to which he had no title. Rudolph FeutI was today made defendant in 8 lawsuit for $4,0OO damages. The plaintiffs are Mrs. Susie Schultz and Joseph Wawron, both of Hartford. Lawyer Joseph c. Woods of this city is counsel for the plaintiffs and property owned by the defendant in Middletown was at tached The writ is returnable be- fore the superior court on the first Tuesday in April.
 The plaintiffs set forth that they owned a saloon in Vernon, valued at S6,85O and had an equity in it of S2,- 25O. On February 9, they claim Feutl induced them to exchange this saloon for a house and lot on Broad street in this city, which he claimed to own. Feutl is alleged to have rep resented that the property was worth $9,300 and was mortgaged only for $7,300, leaving him an equity of $2,000.
 Immediately after receiving q quit-claim deed to the property the plaintiffs found that Feutl's equity was worthless as the property had been foreclosed against by the Col linsville Savings bank for $3,50O. The Connecticut Brewers association for $4000 and taxes, the attachme ents amounting in all to $8.00O. As the estate is to be sold at auction next week and has been appraised for only $500 the plaintiffs claim that they were brazenly defrauded by F"eut1
