WORLD CHAMPION HEN
MOTHER AT s11th EGG

Lexington, KY, March lady
Walnut Hill, the worlds champion
egg-laying hen at the State College
of Agriculture, added new laurels
to her crown when she became the
mother of three baby chicks.
The eggs, which were Matched in
an incubator, were among the first
of those laid in the fifth year of her
career. Included among the chicks
was one from the S11th egg which
marked the start of her fifth lap.
Strange as ii may seem, the
grandmother of the chicks on their
fathers side is their mother while
their father is their half brother.
The mixup in the family relations
resulted from mating Lady Walnut
Hill with one of her sons.
The chicks will be closely watch
ed to discover whether they will
equal the record of their mother.

Louisville, KY, March 4.-High

WHY RAISE THOROUGHBREDS

Do you raise stock and use pure
field seed? If not, you are losing
what is of right and ought to be
yours. You are putting all time
and work on scrub stock and poor
leld seed which net you about fifty
to seventy-five per cent less than
thoroughbreds. So, why not raise
the best and gain that extra fifty
per cent.
After stock is crossed and re-
crossed they simply wont do as
well. 1t isn't nature. Take for
instance the human race. The in
habitants of Mexico, a breed of mix
ed Spanish and Indian descent.
History tells us that they are far
more ignorant and further behind
in civilization than either of the
races from which they have de-
scended. The same natural law ap-
plies to animals of lower rank.
1t is more difficult to fatten cat
tie not of pure breed and when
they are prepared for the market.
they look worse, weigh less, there
fore going in lower grade and
bringing less money.
The same is true of field seed.
Take for example the corn plant.
Cross two varieties an early and
late kind. You would think it
would be neither late nor early.
Medium we should say. Did you
ever experiment with it? 1t will
be later than the full stock late
corn.
Will tell you how / know. Re-
member, last year, 1920, we had a
very late spring, so when dad
started planting corn in the bottom
he thought he would plant an early
kind so it would mature before
frost. We had a little ninety day"
corn, which we had used the year
before with good results, but alas
for this time. The year before we
absent mindedly planted it along
side late variety. This year we
planted it for the same kind of
early corn, but l should say that
from about 10 acres, we got about
25 bushels of very good corn. We
learned it didn't pay to plant poor
field seed.

SOLDIER BONUS BILL
IS HELD As OUTRAGE
Colorado Senator Attack Bill
and Places Cost at More
Than $4,000, O0O.O0O

Washington, March 4.-The Sol
der Bonus Bill was attacked by
Senator Charles S. Thomas, Demo-
crat, Colorado, as "sordid, mercen-
airy, humiliating, outrageous and
illegal"
In a minority report presented to
the Senate as a member of the FL
nance Committee Mr.. Thomas said
operation of the bill would entail a
cost of $4,000, 900 900 and result in
depreciation of Liberty bonds and
other securities and a great burden
to tie taxpayers.
1.-The country is in no condition
to submit to the stupendous bur-
den which this bills imposes" he
declared. It's outrageous. JUS
tice, of itself, should defeat the
bill. There may be such thing in
this country as a taxpayers strike.
The sooner it comes the better.
"This bill subordinates duty to
the sordid and degrading influence
of pelf and profit, makes the army
an agency for the extortion OF
money from the citizen and places
the republican soldier on a level
with the mercenary soldier of for.
tune or adventure"
Mr.. Thomas praised "the splen-
did segment of the late American
Army which disdains to ask fol
bonuses or compensation.
patriotism, devotion to free in
situations and a decent regard fol
the obligation of free citizenship
he said, are degraded and disgracet
whenever the soldier-citizen be

ment should measure his service in
terms of money.
