with officials of other roads.
He. enclosed an annual pass on his
road to Stuyvesant Fish then presi-
dent Naf the Illinois Central, for him
self and family, with the request that
Fish reciprocate.
1t seems that Fish had never heard
of the Kentucky road. AS a result
the pass was returned with the fol-
lowing curt note:
Dear sir: Is find that your rail-
road is only ten miles long, while my
road is 100 miles long. / herewith
return your pass made out in favor
of myself and family. Yours truly,
Stuyvesant Fish,
This was too much for the old Ken

WITH THE FARMERS.

Sen Che NOn-PrOducing Hens.

SCH TIC NOH-TIO0uc1ng Hens.
About $4,000 non-p producing hens
were sold from Wisconsin farms last
year as a result Of the culling dem
onstrations. This was only a drop
in the bucket as we have over 1OOO.-
600 hens in the state and there is
still wonderful chance to eliminate
lot more. During the next two
months the poor producing hens can
be easily detected, also the market
price of fowls will be relatively high.
These two reasons and the possibiI-
'ity OF saving high priced feed by re-
fusing to feed poor producers makes
it advisable to stage few demonstra-
tons. Professor Hayes of the Poul-
try Department of the College Of Ag-
riculture, is assisting the County
Agent this week with some culling
demonstrations. A dozen or more of
the neighbors were present at the
Geo. Marks poultry farm Monday af-
ternoon to witness the first of these
demonstrations. At the Matt Zenz
