This hen was well born, hor father now two yoars old, having back of him four generations of hens that produced 2G0 eggs por year. The re gister numbor of Mr. Larson's prize pullet Is A528. Mr. Larson has ono of the finest pure bred chicken establishments In tho state. He now has a beautiful flock of 1G00 White Leehorus.
