SIX HENS LAYED ONE YEAR.

try on large scale but has a few
very productive fowls in the back
yard of his home. He does not even
maintain an elaborate coop for his
chickens, but just plain hen-house,
built of old drygoods boxes.
In June 1915, six Ancona chicks
came into the world and they begaa
laying November IA of the. same
year. In one year from that time
these half dozen fowls had produced
ninety'seven dozen eggs, little over
sixteen dozen, or 1872 eggs each. OF

badly the latter demanded more at

ninety-seven dozen eggs were being
produced one OF the hens 'layed off,
for eight weeks, during which time
she Matched out nine more chicks,
which began laying when they were
four months and twenty days old.

Flower OF the Sea.

Like the land, the sea has its
flowers, but. the most brilliant of the
marine flowers bloom not upon plants,
but upon animals. The living corals
of tropical seas present a display of
floral beauty that in richness anG
vividness of color and variety and
grace of form rivals the splendor Of
a garden of flowers. The resemb-
lance to blossoms is so complete
that some persons find it difficult to
believe that the brilliant displays con-
tains no element of plant life, but is
wholly animal in its organization.
Among the sea animals that bloom
as if they were plants are included.
besides corals, the sea anemone and
the sea cucumber. 1t has been re-
marked that the birds and butter
flies of the upper world are replaced
by fishes of curious forms and lash
ing colors which dart about among
the animal flowers.

"BUTTERMILK POP" LATEST.
Cedar Falls Woman Has Solved High

Cedar Falls, Feb. 15.-Miss Tura

50-cent butter, etc. The new food IS
termed "buttermilk pop and is said
to put enough working energy into a
laboring man to last him whole day

Miss Hawk has figured it out by calor-
les, the, units of measurement by
which scientists determine how much
working energy certain amount OF
a given kind of food will produce
when taken into the human digestive
system. Miss Hawk says with her
new "buttermilk pop" she can pro-
duce 5000 calories-enough working
energy to last anybody twenty-four
hours-for % " cents. And the new
kind of pop is said to be so palata-
bic it places all other pop in the
discard and is the thing that puts the

The ingredients of the new balanc-
ed ration for man are buttermilK.
meat fryings, bread, cSrnmeal, sugar
and salt. A recipe for trial dish az
'buttermilk pop" is given as follows:
Buttermilk, one quart; meat fry
ings. two tablespoonfuls; two slices
of bread, cornmeai, two tablespoon
fuls; sugar, two tablespoonfuls; salt,
one tablespoonful. Cut bread into
one-half inch cubes and fry to nice
brown in meat fryings. Pour in corn
meal and cook for thirty minutes.
