Royal Salute \_ When Queen Mary walked into the maternity ward at the London hospital the other day, one of the | babies was yelling its loudest. Before attempting to say how long a breedug hen should be rested, it should be clearly understood what the term breeding hen implies. A} though it is a common practice to mate pullets and use them for breedâ€" ing purposes, most persons regard breeding hens as being at least one vear old While there are many factors inâ€" volved in determining the length of the rest period, condition of the birds after the laying year is over is one of the most important. With poultry «s with other lines of live stock breeding, progress is the result of careful selection and proper feeding. It would be a shortsighted policy for poultrymen to consider the returas of egg sales alone. In order to stay in the business and continue to make progress, one must keep the flock in a high state of vitality When eggs are selling at high prices poultryimen are reluctant to nrew their hens in moult in order that che birds may have sufficient tuime o rest before the next laying year begins. There are, nevertheless, ‘ertain principles which cannot be imnored if type. vigor and high proâ€" duction are to be maintained in the vack ‘rom year to year. If hens are ~«li laid out" and thin in flesh, the rest â€" period â€" evidently should be tenger than if thes were well fleshed wail heavi.

Still It Was Fatal ‘"What did your father die of?" the doctor asked an Atchison negro who was being examined for life insurance.
