gene and her twin sister, Hester:
Imogene Is the hen on the left.
She is hen, is Imogene; hon
estly she's hen; brown Leghorn
hen But she crows. she's grown
big red comb on her head just like
rooster and she has long, flowing tail,
also, like gentleman chicken. And
If anybody asked Imogene to lay an
egg she would fly right up on the fence
and crow.
A few months ago Imogene looked
just like her twin sister. She laid
eggs and many young chickens called
her mother Now they hang their
heads as Imogene struts, by. Imogene
has changed completely from nice,
agreeable young hen to a rooster. We
cannot go into a discussion of the
facts in the case. Suffice to say that
Imogene was operated upon by DR..
Victor Lespinasse. Yes. Doctor Lespi-
nasse is renowned for having per-
formed some famous gland transplant
ing operations. That will be about all
we will have TO say about the strange
case of Imogene from scientific
standpoint.
To be sure, the Great American Hen
has her critics; all great personages
have.
There are those who claim that the
hen, after laying fast and furiously al!
summer, goes on strike in winter when
eggs are worth their weight In gold.
Surely all hard workers are entitled
to vacation. And what was cold
storage invented for?
1t Is pointed out that the hen will
set on doorknobs and goes into hys-
terics over brood Of ducklings. Well,
men were deceivers ever. and Mysteries
are the safety-valve of her sex.
There are those who go so far as to
say, Nobody can learn hen nothing"
Well, everybody used to be running
over hens In the road Now they fly
to safety at the first honk-honk of the
flivver.
Yes; the hen is simple and frugal in
her tastes and ways; she Is industri-
Gus; she sacrifices her offspring for
"spring-fr fries" and herself for the
toothsome fricassee.
After long and complicated thought
we have come to the conclusion that
criticisms of the Great American Hen
are just only when leveed at her

Peggy Bay State doesn't stop laying
eggs just because winter has come.
She keeps right on with such success
that the Massachusetts agricultural ex-
pertinent station announced that she
had hung up new record for hens of
tie Rhode Island Red breed with an
official production of 302 eggs in her
first year. Peggy is the product OF
ten years of breeding.
And here's what Connecticut has to
say: "The twelfth annual international
egg-laying contest at the Connecticut
Agricultural college, Storrs. made the
highest production total of any of the
contests held at this institution. Four
teen states of the Union, one Canadian
province and one foreign country, Eng
land, furnished the thousand pullets in
this great competition. All previous
records at Storrs were beatetn and the
average egg yield for the last eight
years was exceeded by more than
10000. Pens were divided into ten pull
lets each. The best individual layer
was White Leghorn owned by A. P.
Robinson Of Calverton. N. Y. This
bird laid 2S3 eggs in the 80 weeks. A
Barred Rock owned by Edgar Slough
ton, Mapping, Conn, was second with
a record of 274 eggs"
Then follows a list of the twenty
best pens in the order OF their produc-
tIon The first and second winning
pens are:
Hollywood (wash.) farm. White Leg
horns, 2.237 eggs.
Pinecrest orchards. Groton. Mass.
Rhode Island Reds 2.171 eggs.
Two Of the other pens In the first
twenty are these:
Lady Anderson. Harold Eng. White
Wyandottes. 2.113 eggs
Edgar Stoughton. Mapping. Conn.
Barred Rocks. 2.037 eggs.

partment of Agriculture-all except
