ALIVE.
Remarkable Endurance of Bird With
out Feed or Water.

FOntanelle, Ia.,-Buried under hay
Sor 121 days and still alive is the re-
cord of big Wyand0tte hen near
Fontanelle.
On July 10, Ed. Rice filled his barn
with hay and the next day missed a
certain hen which was considered
the best of the flock. A search was
made but the hen could not be found
On stepping into manger that had
been filled with the hay yesterday
MIR. Rice heard faint squawk, and
upon investigation found the hen
which had been missing since July.
Her only raiment was a few
feathers on her neck, and she was
so thin and weak that she could not
walk. During her 121 days of i'm
prisonment her only food consisted
of the timothy and clover heads
which she could reach, and these
she had stripped clean. Although
having a little food, she was entirely
without water.
Mrs. Wyandotte is now getting
feod and water regularly and gives
evidences of regaining her size and
strength and growing another coat
of feathers. =.

Replies to Senate Critics by

made in the United States Senate. He
said:
81 apparently emerge in new light
as the friend Of the Chicago packers. At
the same time the mail brings a report
from Swift & Co. blaming the Food Adj
ministration for reducing their profits by
s10,000,00o during the last year. do
not imagine that the packers would APP
preciate a wide circle Of such friends.
II notice also that I committed q
crime By holding the October Joint con-
ference OF farmers and represent tives
Of forty small packers, as we'll as the
big packers together with representa-.
tiveS Of allied Governments for the pur-
pose OF settling on a price for exports
OF pork that would give the American
farmer n square deal and distribution
OF orders that would protect the small
packers.
I'VE have even tried TO secure the cor.
through the armistice period and the
opening of other markets, because the
American farmer did his duty and pro-
duced goods
"1f the American farmer and the small
packer now feel that these arrangements
are wrong II would be the greatest bur.
den Off our shoulders II we could know
II quickly. The British Government Is
particularly anxious to be relieved from
these arrangements"
