that may be giving you trouble.
Most Of us, whether we have half
dozen hens or hundreds Of them,
have learned what we know about
the chicken business either by ex-
perience, by dong what somebody
told us to do, or by practicing some
thing that we read in a poultry or
newspaper. Sometimes that's an cx-
pensive way t, do business.

Agriculture and the kentucky Agri.
cultural Experiment Station for years
have been working out some of these
problems that are bothering YOU.

ing house where 300 hens lay more
eggs because electric lights get them
up in the morning, and several diff
ferent kinds Of incubators, including
l,S00 egg one, together with several
smaller ones.
Experiments showing the best kind
Of milk to feed to laying hens and
the value of limestone for layers also
will be explained They are plan
ming to tell us about the results they
have obtained as to the best kind of
poultry houses for different farms

Widow of G. vi. Oyster
: Secretly Becomes Bride
Remarriage of Aged Dairy
mans Young Wife Reported
to Her Relatives

SYRACUSE, Oct. Cd. Mrs. Cecile
Ready Oyster, widow of George, NJ.
Oyster, wealthy Washington, D. c.,
dairyman and cattle breeder, was se-
cretly married two months ago to Ber-
nard NJ. Shirciiff, electrical engineer,
of Albany, according to word received
here to-day by relatives of Mrs. Shir-
cliff.
The bride, at the age of twenty-six,
married Mr.. Oyster, who was seventy
two, about two years ago after a rapid
fire courtship that began at the state
fair. They went south on honeymoon
trip. Soon afterward Mr.. Oyster re-
turned to Washington and lived alone,
while his wife remained in the South.
Runors of an estrangement were nu-
merous, but were met with denias.
Shortly after this Mr.. Oyster was
taken i'll and died. A legal tangle re-
suited over his estate, Mrs. Oyster
claiming one-third interest. An ap-
praisal showed the estate was not worth
millions, as reported, and later the wild
