President Fails To
Attend Luncheon

HARLINGEN, Dec. 6-Three very
prominent Harrington attorneys are
still bothered about mysterious tele-
phone calls received Wednesday
morning. Someone, who gave no
name, called them up and informed
that 1t was not generally known but
the President Of Mexico was going
to have lunch at the Reese Wilmond
Hotel. and that they we're cordially
invited 10 lunch with him at noon.
The lawyers rushed home, put on
their Sunday best, brushed their
teeth, and presented themselves at
the hotel at twelve o'clock sharp.
Imagine their surprise when they
found no president. After looking be-
hind all the decorative palm trees
and under a few tables, they con-
cluded that he had not arrived and
that they were victims OF someone's
practical joke. They were forced TO
buy their own lunch.

Milford chronicle., 1929-10-25

hens are committed to this peculiar
habit of shedding their feathers once
a year is another matter which has
been the subject of a great many
profound treatises by learned scien-
tific men. The average poultry raiser
is, however, mainly concerned with
the fact that this peculiar phenom-
enon may serve as very valuable
guide in the culling out of poor lay
ers from the rest of the flock.
Most authorities now agree that
the hens which start molting earliest
and keep it up longest are the poor
est layers. Good layers seldom start
molting until later in the fall and
are completely finished in from six
to eight weeks. Less productive
hens, on the contrary, may start as
early as June, July or August and
fiddle around for four or five months
before they have regained something
like what President Harding would
probably have called, "a state of
normalcy."
While nearly all feathers are
molted at one time or another, the
most reliable guide is the manner
in which wing feathers are molted.
High producing, late molting hens
molt faster than one feather at a
time, or else they molt only part
of their feathers, carrying others
over to another year. Poor layers,
on the other hand, may molt but
one wing feather at time so that
the process may require as long as
"a weeks. Most poor layers take
very nearly this long to complete
the molting of their wing feathers,
so it can be seen that this is very
accurate index of productiveness.
Although the alleged dismay of
young Mrs. Newlywed as related at
the beginning of this article is
doubtless more or less of an exag-
geration, there is no escaping the
fact that a hen during the molting
time is really very much out of con-
dition and should receive extra food
and attnetion. The care and feed
ing of hens at this time might be the
subject of a separate article in it.
self. 1 shall, therefore, let it suffice

plenty of good shade, nourishing
food and ample protection from bad
weather. A good mineral tonic
should also be given them so their
appetites will be whetted for an
abundance of food. Then they will
take the necessary nutriment to Off
set the strain on their system, grow
their feathers again and get back to
laying.
Feed a variety of good, sound
grains, such as oats, wheat, corn
and bran. But do not feed too much
corn, as that is too heating. Feed
also some sunflower seed and lin
seed meal. Also little more of
meat, green cut bone or meat scraps
than is usually fed and give plenty
of milk, if possible. Feed an abund-
ance of greens. Have pure, fresh
water available at all times. All this
will help to bring the hen back into
laying condition rapidly.
