Plymouth Rock Hen Lays
256 Eggs in One Year
Breaking World's Record
A Marred Plymouth Hock hen, ownod
by A. S. Kurt of Albany, Or., has laid
fgga tl't' past year and has thus
established a new world 'b record for
tho most eggs ever laid in a year by
one hen. The former record, as com
piled by poultry journals, was 251 and
Hart's hen is now champion of the
world by fivo eggs.
This hen laid its first egg on Novem
ber 120, 11107, and completed its record
of 250 November 10, 1I08. Hart kept
track of the record of this hen as well
iie of 11 others by means of a trap
nest system and has an exact record
of the number of eggs laid by each
hen of his flock. Kach hen wears a
leg band fur its identification and when
it enters u nest it swings a trapdoor
and cannot leave tho nest until some
one takes it out. Mr. Hart nnd his
wife nro the only persons who have re
moved the hens nnd there is no pos
sibility of an error in the count. Hart
will substantiate the count with affi
davits and nu Albany hen will claim
the world's record in tho poultry jour
nals of the United Ptates.
Keeping Record Flock, j
Hart is keeping n record of 12 hens
this year nnd the average of the flock
will bo over 2IW eggs each. Ono other I
ben besides the record-breaker has laid j
214 eggs and yet has ":, days to com
plete her ynr. This is the first year I
any of the 12 hens have laid, and is
accordingly their bnt laying year, and
all are making a remarkable record.
Hart, who is nu expert breeder of
Harred Plymouth Rocks, does not feed'
his hens soft mashes, egg food or any
thing else to make them lay. His theory
is to breed up to a. high stnndnrd and
thus get a hen which will lay well
naturally. He also keeps his flock in
perfect condition for natural laying.
Tho Tiuncoton .Weekly Engle of
Tiunceton, Mo., of November 20, 1!0S,
contains the following regarding Mis
souri's great hen:
Picturo on exhibition at Columbia oc
cupies a prominent place in the office
of (icorge R. Ellis, secretary of the
board of agriculture
.Secretary fleorge P.. "Ellis of the Mis
noun state board of ngriculturo has re
ceived from Ernest Kellers! rnss, owner
of 1 lxo Kellerstrass farm, R. F. D. No.
1, Kansas City, Missouri, a life-size
oil painting of the $10,000 Crystal
Whito Orpington hen, "Peggy," de
clared by competent paltry judges to
be the most wonderful hen they have
ever seen. This painting which has been
given a prominent place m Secretary
Ellis' office and which will ndorn the
new $10i),ci)0 agricultural college build
ing now nailer process of construction
at Columbia, is the work of Miss Alice
Harbor, a well known Kansas City art
ist. - -
"Peggy" is almost ns near perfec
tion as it is possible for a bird to be.
her score being" '07V. Mr. KetlerstrnRS
has refused $".000 for her, but he val
ue her at twice that amount. She has
v record of 22." eggs per year, and her
eggs are readily sold at $5 each when
hor owners will permit the sale of
them. "Peggy" deserves and, by com
mon consent, has been given the title
of "Queen of Missouri Chickens."
Mr. Kellerstrass is the originator of
the Crystal White Orpingtons nnd hns
almost 50n0 birds of this breed on his
modrl poultry farm near Kansas City.
Madame Paderewski paid Mr. Kolter
strass 7"0' for a pen of five Crystal
White Orpingtons, which were shipped
to her home in Switzerland lant Febru
ary. At the tri-stnte fair held at. Memphis.
Ten n.( "Peggy" was presented with n
solid gold leg band set with diamonds.
It required four policemen nnd some
20 fair officials to hold the crowd hack
when tho presentation was made in the
poultry building on the fair grounds.
Missourians who visit the agricultu
ral building at Columbia will now view
with admiration the beautiful oil paint
ing of "Peggy" and will take pride in
the fact that Missouri,, tho "Poultry
Queen of the Union," has the honor
of being the home of the highest-priced
hen in history. But Missouri owes her
proud place in poultry not alono to thtj
fame of nny one bird or breed. The
linmble hen if we may longer so refer
to her is bringing Misosuri both
wealth and fame, the state's snrplus
poultry products for the year 1007
amounting to M,MWi.U7. r more, .per.
haps, than of any other state in the
Union.
So important has become the pooltry
industry in Missouri that" the state
board of agriculture now has in prepar
ation and will soon have ready for dis
tribution an extensiv poultry bulletin.
This publication, which is for free dis
tribution, while the supply lasts.-may
lie had by addressing Secretary George
H. Ellis. Columbia. Mo.

opener. They were not acquainted anil were in
a quandry ns to where to start on their
quest, and while they were debating the
question mentnlly between them they
were niroched by u pleasant looking
policouiHli, who .wished them "good
morhiug. "
"Say, Jim," said cno of the pilgrims
to tho other, ''this is an opening. Hero
iv a good fellow; let's ask him." It
won , agreed, and the officer answered
thoir inquiry by saying loconienlly," Pol-
low mo." Ho walked them tnroc ihocks
nntil tluy stood in front of-tho cathe

Tho travelers looked at each other in
astonishment.

Post Offiee Department
Says Money Is All Spent
and City Must Wait
The following letter has been re
ceived by Posomaster J. R. CnBoy, says
tho Tidings, from tho division of city
delivery, at Washington, iu regard to
tho installation of free delivory service
in Ashland:
Washington, Nov. 10, 100S. Postmas
ter, Ashland, Oregon Sir: lu rwply to
your letter of the 12th instant, you aie
informed that while the postoffice in
spector who recently viuited your city,
recommends that city delivery bo es
tablished, the department is uunblo to
issue the order for tho installation of
the service for the reason that the ap
propriation for that purposo is exhaust
ed. Should congress ut tho noxt session
mako a further appropriation the mat
ter will have prompt attention. Re
spectfully. C. P. O KANFIELD.
r irst Assistant Postmaster-General.
In light of the fact that tho postal
inspector who was hero a short time
ago recommended an order for the in
stallation of free delivery at Ashland,
having found racquirements for such
service met with, the excuse that the,
appropriation is exhausted looks like
subterfuge. Corvallis with practically
iho same rating an Ashland ns far as
postal revenues are concerned, applied
for free delivery at tho same time ns
Ashland, viz.: at the close of the last
fiscal year, Juno .'f0, and tho service
is now being installed in the agricul
tural college town. Tho outlay for
equipment requited Sh merely nominal,
it is said, while the salaries of carriers
at Ashland would be paid out of tho

A Map of Jackson

The Tribune and Southern Oregonian is
having made at great expense a fine, colored,
lithographed. map of Jackson county.
This map will show all cities, towns and
villages, rivers and waterways, section and
survey lines, railroads and projected rail-
roads, wagon roads, forest reserve bounda
ries, election precincts and other data need
ed hy everyone. All townships shown in
colors.
This up-to-date map will be ready for
distribution some time in December. It will
be sold only through The Tribune and
Southern Oregonian.'
This will be your only chance to secure a
good map of Jackson county, as all map edi
tions are out of print and plates were des
troyed in the San Francisco fire, necessitat

rule of the department, so that the
reason utmiguud for delay by the de

The postal receipts of Ashland for
the last fiscal year weie $12,132.87, an
inc reuse of 25 per cent ovxer tho pre

free delivery are only $10,000.
The mater will very likely be taken
up with members of cougress from this
