SELECTION OF HENS
FOR BREEDING PENS
Pick Only Active, Vigorous Fowls,
Avoiding Use of Thin, I'm
mature PulIetS.

Select mature hens, and not pullets
for breeding purposes, advises F. E.
Fox, assistant in poultry husbandry
In the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
Constitutional vigor should be the
first consideration in the selection of
a hen," said Mr.. Fox. 1.-The head
should be broad, wide and deep; the
eyes full, round and prominent; the
back short and stout; and the neck
of medium length.
Individuals should be selected that
have well proportioned backs, broad at
the rear extremity. The birds should
have broad, deep breasts with long
keels, which should extend well to the
rear. The body should have plenty of
capacity to allow room for the diges-
tive and reproductive organs. Anoth-
er indication of vigor is the well-worn
or blunt toenail.
"Select only active, vigorous hens.
A good rule for this is the old saying,
the best hen is the first off the roOst
In the morning and the last on in the
evening" Avoid the use of immature
pullets.

than they should. They age faster and

In early years ID, indeed, often q sign Of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store q small package of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

his hearers very interesting and in
structive sermon.
The Church Clubs met Monday
night in the lecture room. There was
IA very god turnout considering the
unpleasant evening. The thermometer
being almost to zero.
The acceptance Of Rev. VIM. Leroy
Haven was read from the pulpit last
Sunday morning. We know that the
friends Of Dorset, who live away from
its attractive scenery and who keep in
touch with its doings through The
Journal, will be very pleased to read
this item. Mr.. Haven will assume his
duties about March 1st.
Tonight, at the Church, will be Civ
en- the first social Of the year by the
Ladies' Society. An old fashioned ten
cent supper which, at the present high
cost Of living, would cost anywhere
else at least 30 cents. Supper at $50.
Better go down to the lecture room to-
night for your supper. You will save
money, get a good meal and, at the
same time, assist the Ladies' Society.
So that other places will not ar
range their entertainments or suppers
for the same date, the Dorset and East
Rupert Congregational Society wish to
announce, through the Journal, that
their annual oyster supper will be
held in the lecture room Of the church
on Thursday evening, Feb. Sth. Those
in charge hope that our friends in the
adjoining towns will make note Of
this date and that they will try and
arrange to attend this supper.
